Pork steak so tender no knife needed to cut it. Baked Beans great. Great smoky bbq taste

I was walking by, and this aroma enveloped me, swept me off my feet, and entranced me into floating through the door. Authentic BBQ joint as you can get. I felt like I was back in the South. Got the pork steak and spaghetti. Because if you're going to throw down in St Louis BBQ, pork steak is South City Hoosier Prime Rib. And (expletive) all those backyard bbq's, family dinners, and every place else you've eaten one. This is the BEST PORK STEAK I HAVE EVER EATEN. Opened the box, and it looks at you all seductive and whispers "eat me". Then you're sizing it up and there's that dang aroma again. But this time it's grabbing you by the ears and screaming "EAT ME" at you. So, you indulge. Oh, Juicy. As in, Notorius BIG Juicy starts playing in the background. That food didn't stand a chance. Engulfed it like a zombie on a chubby kid. Walked outside where Chef was tending the grill and thanked him for an amazing lunch. He said everything is his Grandmama's recipes. That may explain his stature. He is a mountain of a man, with a big smile, southern hospitality, and down home cooking readily available.

This honestly might be the best bbq I have eaten in STL. I was truly taken aback on how good it all was. First timer, went on a whim at the end of the day. Only things they had left (a great sign!) was the burger, pork steak and beef ribs. Never had beef ribs so got them and a pork steak. My mouth was watering from the smell on the drive home haha. Food did not disappoint! Such good smoke flavor from the pork steak, visible smoke ring. Beef ribs were so amazingly tender, amazing flavor. He pulled them straight off the smoker. You will not get that at the more well known places. I am so freaking happy I live so close to this place! Will be back again and again, I need to try the whole menu. I overheard him tell another patron, they do everything fresh that day. No left overs. So they just do what they think they can do in a day. That’s the way it’s supposed to be. If you want it, go early.

Yesterday I and my friend stopped in to try this smokehouse barbecue. The restaurant is just up the street from where we live and I had heard some very good reviews. I had noticed the proprietor out back smoking, and I do mean smoking, the meat in the snow. We had pork steaks and baked beans. The smoke flavor was fantastic. You could see the smoke ring in the meat layers. It was so tender that the only reason I needed a knife at all was to keep from tearing a piece of meat off that was bigger I could chew comfortably. Also, the meat had just enough bbq sauce to enhance, not hide, the flavor of the meat. The baked beans were far more than heated pork and beans. They were not soaked in sweet sauce with a small slab of pork, they were slow cooked beans with onion, and to my surprise, celery. They were tender, and well cooked. Being from southern Missouri, I gage my meat by flavor, tenderness and lastly, if I want to pick up the bone and gnaw any meat I couldn't get with my knife and fork. This is definitely bone gnawing good, and the prices are very reasonable.

The food was great and smoked to perfection. I love the Beef ribs are nice and meaty. The spaghetti and the Baked Beans are good sides as well.

Everything we had taste fantastic. We had beef ribs, spaghetti, ox tails, baked beans and a burger. Burger was very big. The spaghetti does taste sweet. All this bbq spot needs is some homemade cake to take home. We are looking forward to coming back and trying the rib tips.

My husband and tried this place out for the first time. We got the beef rib, oxtails, and chicken wings. All were seasoned well but the Dino beef rib and oxtails were beyond delicious. I had never had bbq Oxtails so it was a new experience. It was fall off the bone good! The meat for those two was so much that it filled us for the whole day. The wings were small though they came with 4 so that was the only thing that disappointed me. But the other ones more than made up for it. The owner was very nice and custom service was excellent. He told us it was his grandmothers 100 year old recipe from Texas and that she use to sell it to the hospital workers. Let me tell you... All of his ancestors were present in that bbq! That had to be the original Juneteenth bbq! I thought I got a better picture of the Dino bone but the image doesn’t do it justice. We ate it without thinking and had leftovers for breakfast! The sides were nice and the establishment was very clean and professional.

I thoroughly enjoyed this place. The owners were very friendly and gave a homely vibe. It was as if they were happy to share their food with you. The energy was very upbeat and the music set a very peaceful atmosphere. I ordered the beef ribs. The ribs were falling off the bone, cooked expertly, and seasoned very well. The best ribs I've ever had cooked fresh. I highly recommend.
