Salt + Smoke

Nice location and atmosphere. Very fast, friendly service. Loved that there's a dedicated gluten free menu! The pulled pork was great but the brisket was dry and the ribs were just okay. Would probably skip those two next time. The fries were good and I liked the My Sweet Bestie sauce. Potato salad was just okay. I have celiac disease and there aren’t a ton of restaurants available to me, so I’m happy to have Salt + Smoke close by!

This is Salt + Smoke’s newest location, in Downtown Kirkwood. I tried their South County location months ago, and found it disappointing. We tried again today and stopped in for lunch. Positives first: this is a bright and airy location. It’s decorated well, it’s spacious and it is clean. The waitress we had, Sierra, was friendly and gave us free refills. Sadly, the host and other people we dealt with were not friendly or personable, so it seems the staff is hit or miss. The food was good, but not spectacular. My Mom got the Pulled Chicken Sandwich, and we both agreed that it was missing something. The Pimento Cheese and Corn Relish that came with it lacked flavor. I got the BLT, and it tasted like something I could have made at home for $5. The Beef Fat Fries were delicious though. Onc

This location just opened up a few days ago. We decided to try the hushpuppies to start, they were fresh and fantastic. Next course, we tried a plethora of sides that include fries, slaw, mac and cheese, beans, and got the burnt ends, brisket and ribs. Let me tell you, it was all delicious. Hot, fresh, and came out so quickly. I would like to give an extra shout out to the service here. They were prompt, friendly and made sure they checked on us multiple times. My daughter accidentally spilled an iced tea and they went out of their way to offer to refresh our drinks and any plates that got wet. The location is prime, the bbq is hot and fresh, and service is stellar. Highly recommend.

Just opened up. I had the cheeseburger and brisket chili and it was delicious! Fast and friendly service. Outdoor seating with trains that occasionally pass by. They have BBQ and other excellent food options!

On a surprisingly beautiful February evening we were looking for a patio to enjoy a meal, and this Salt + Smoke location delivered! The food was delicious, the service was friendly and prompt, and you can't argue with that sunset. We will happily be back for more delicious wings, fried pickles, pulled pork, and brisket.
