    There is no pre-bottled sauce here. House made and delicious...StL has been waiting for a place like this. For starters, go for the Hush Puppies and Maple Butter, win combo!

    The burnt ends and pulled chicken both go great with their bestie BBQ sauce and the popovers were excellent. The dry rub wings could have had a bit more rub on them. Overall, excellent.

    Foursquare is right on-this is the best Mac & cheese in STL! The brisket & ribs were terrific, excellent bbq dining experience. Crack open the giant popover & dip the soft breaded inside in bbq sauce.

    You haven't lived until you've had Salt + Smoke. I sat at the bar and enjoyed the brisket with mac and pit beans. The staff was down to earth and crazy friendly.

    Get trashed! The trashed wings and ribs are spectacular. The bestie sauce is the best I've ever tasted. Bourbon selection is good, Viv, the bartender, makes excellent selections.

    This on the only place I’ve ever had the choice of getting fatty-prime brisket!! Get it half-n-half with the burnt-ends. Incredible!

    The ribs and brisket are my favorites. The mac & cheese is a great side but don’t sleep on the popover either!

    Delicious food, great service, and lovely atmosphere. Afterwards, go across the street to Blue Hill for a beer and/or music.

    You need to go to this place on a nice Saturday and sit outside to do people watching on Delmar. The food has never disappointed me! It's so good and the helpings are huge.

    Salt + Smoke's ribs slide off the bone. Smoky and dusted with peppery rub, the St. Louis-cut pork ribs are perfect specimens.

    Amazing. White cheddar cracker Mac will be the death of me. Had the best waiter for our first time-so polite, professional, and patient. YUM. So much food and kick butt prices.

    The only negative thing I have to say about this place, is the view outside the window is of Uranus.
