We ordered the Double Barrel (we chose 4lbs brisket, mac and cheese, fried okra, potato casserole, cole slaw, and buns) and the Single Barrel (2 lbs pork, potato salad, green beans, buns) as a pick up order for our neighborhood association meeting. It was outstanding. We had around 30 people there; no one had ever tried this place, and they all raved about the food. Everything was packaged nice and neatly, and they threw in some plates and plasticware packs at our request. The fried okra may have been a little over fried, but not enough to keep it from being devoured. We got plenty of huge buns to make sandwiches for the meat, and they packed in plenty and a variety of the sauce. The green beans were terrific (and I'm leary of take out green beans), and the potato casserole was so yum. I'm glad we discovered this place, we'll definitely be back. Highly recommend.
Amazing BBQ. Generous portions and very tender. Chicken and Ribs barrel was delicious and easily enough to feed 4 people. Fried corn was delicious too. Be sure to try all their sauces. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Parking is somewhat limited but it wasn't an issue when we visited.
Authentic smoked bbq in St. Louis. Had 2 platters, pulled pork, brisket, rib, pork steak and sausage. Brisket was bit dry iMHO, it was early and I had thought we'd get the juicy cut...oh well. Others were just fine. Pork steak ribs and sausage were good. Portions were ok, not overwhelmingly large. Ice tea, refills. They opened on New Year's Day, props.
