bogart's smokehouse

a heavenly bbq experience! the best bbq in the stl. ribs are legendary. pork is unbelievable. pitbeansunlike any you've ever had. did i mention the ribs? skip steele and his crew are the benchmark for bbq in the lou!

new star on the rise!!. visiting from texas, and stoped by the place on recomendation. our bbq is more of a dry rub and flavor. a great difference in the wet style. the flavor of the ribs have a unique spice balanced with just enough sweetness... outstanding! unique to the menu is the deli sliced prime rib. yes, deli sliced. the meat cooked to med rare perfection, retaining all the natural juices and smoke. the other meats on the menu are also smoked to perfection and more than worth a try! a whole seperate review could be given for the complimental side items. the spicy yet sweet bakedbeanswith pulled pork (sticky to a fork), devil'd egg potato salad, and more completely round out a great dining experience of st. louis bbq. even after visiting the older big brother near town, this younger sibling is maturing and coming into a name of it's own. after trying bogart's, it'll be hard to campare on the same level of the other place... bogart's will remain on one's tongue, just like it's smoke and flavor!

ate dinner here yesterday -had the brisket sandwich wbeansand pot salad. the brisket was flavorful, moist, lean, tender and at least ample. however, the bun was of the egg variety which i usually like, but this had a bad flavor so i took the meat off and ate by itself. i liked the pineapple bq sauce. thebeanswere very good. the salad tasted like some fast food chains -didn't like the flavor. may not have been made there. i wont be back and do not recommend. 2.5 stars

bogarts has been my first choice for st louis bbq since i discovered it years ago in fine cooking magazine. it is my first recommendation to anyone looking for bbq in st louis…meats are superb and sides, especially couldn't be beat! imagine my disappointment when i ate here recently only to discover that the deviled egg potato salad had been replaced with a bland, mustardy store bought version and thebeanswere equally ordinary. i couldn't be sadder but bogarts is no longer a recommendation of this foodie.

perfection. if you are in the stl- this is a must do. pulled pork sandwich with the potato salad and bakedbeans(with the drippings) makes for an unforgettable lunch. be ready to wait for a few moments and then elbow up to a friendly neighbor at community table.

best bbq in town! i've heard about this place for a while but was hesitant to try since i'm very picky when it comes to bbq. i've tried the pulled pork, bakedbeansand potato salad and it was amazing! the pulled pork was very tender, no fat at all and very flavorful! their potato salad tasted amazing as well as their baked beans! their pineapple bbq sauce is the best i even bought some to take home! this is one of the best bbq restaurants i've ever tried and between here and pappy's which are both equally amazing, i dont think i could even think about trying anywhere else!

#1 bbq kings- bogarts- amazing bbq. st. louis has a lot of good bbq. that being said- bogart's is king of them all!
the meats are so good it is hard to choose what main dish to have. pulled pork is great, brisket very flavorful, and the burnt end special they run is mouth watering.

sides stand up for themselves. bakedbeansare full of meat. deviled egg potato salad is great. sauces are flavorful, i love the sweet megan anne sauce.

one of my favorite take out places- food holds up well over travel time. bogarts wraps to- go orders with care. meats are so good we have served it at family parties. left-overs are even good.

check them out on facebook and twitter- they often announce specials.

hands down my favorite bbq in the entire area!

went looking for the best bbq, got one of the best meals. i stopped here during a cross country trip. famished, weakened by mid-summer heat, we waited sweltering in line. when a man walked up and spoke sideways to me, asking what i'd order, i told him, thinking nothing of it. five minutes later, the head chef walked back to me with burnt ends, beans, and a rib to sample and consider. i got burnt ends, and ribs. a burnt end salad to be exact, and ribs with sides. it was some of the best food i've ever eaten, my kitchen, any kitchen, in an uncountable number of restaurants. this is the bbq restaurant for foodies, chefs, and cooks. he came up to talk, one maker of food to another, and brought a sample of the pastrami for us to try. the bakedbeansuse scraps of meat from the cuttings and are very, very, very good. the burnt ends are slow cooked for a very, very, very long time, and are the best i've ever had, in fact the only one's i've ever liked, much less loved. i wish i lived here so i could eat at bogart's, maybe even live there. the farmer's market caty-corner across the square is from the early 1900's and well worth a visit as well.

great smokehouse!. went here with some friends last night for the first time. walking down the street and smelling the aroma, you already know that you've made a good choice. the menu doesn't have the widest of selections, but it has all of the staples of a good bbq joint. the prices are good, and the service is fast.

everyone in our group ordered a pulled pork. i had bakedbeansand potato salad with mine. everything i had was outstanding! throw in the fact that you can order fitz's cream or root beer, and the meal was beyond what i would have anticipated. the girls had too much food to eat it all. the guys had more food than we should probably have finished. so, portion amounts are really good; especially for the low price points.

with the outdoor seating, the amount of available seating isn't too bad. i've definitely been to smaller places.

the thing that impressed me the most was probably the fact that the owner was actually waiting and bussing tables. she was very friendly and took the time to chat with us for a few minutes. the courteousness of the entire staff was notable.

it may have been our first time there, but definitely won't be our last!

unbelievable!!. my husband and i are avid bbqers and try it wherever we go. we've always eaten at pappy's numerous times each time we visit stl from ky to see the cards play, but bogart's has taken over that spot for me. best ribs and potato salad, hands down. don't quite understand the chips, really wish i hadn't wasted one of my sides on that :(beanswere pretty good, but i still make 'em better ;) sauces are so-so but who needs it?? still like pappy's fried corn on the cob and brisket best.

bbq lover's paradise!. i recently moved back to st. louis and was looking for a good bbq/smokehouse. after seeing all of the very positive reviews for bogart's, i decided to give it a try. i drove from st. charles to the soulard area to pick up some ribs, and some pulled pork. i tried their potato salad, beans, and pickles. i ordered a to go order because i was short on time. when i arrived back in st. charles i found that my order was incorrect. i was very disappointed and contacted bogart's immediately. niki from their staff contacted me back and apologized for the incorrect order. they are usually very busy and as with any business, this stuff can happen once in a while. niki told me to come back in when i had time and they would make it up to me. they have more than made it up to me. i cannot praise their customer service enough! they were extremely gracious and took care of me. now on to the food. i have had their ribs, their pulled pork, their brisket, and their smoked turkey. all of the meats were excellent! their ribs had a nice smoke ring and were very tender. their turkey is the best i have ever tasted. i enjoyed their brisket (nice and tender) and their pulled pork. the standouts to me are their ribs and smoked turkey breast. side dishes that i would highly recommend are their potato salad, and beans. their potato salad tastes like a mix of grandma's and deviled eggs. extremely yummy and brings back that nostalgic feeling of summer and great bbq. thebeansare phenomenal!!!! if allowed, i would eat them 4 times each and every day. they would compliment any meal but together with the tremendous bbq, they will send your taste-buds into orbit. they have a smokey, and meaty sweetness that is pure bean perfection. do not miss out. i would say that this is definitely the best bbq restaurant in st. louis and i will be a customer for life!

bestbeansand potato salad anywhere. ribs very good but perhaps a bit better at pappy's. no contest on the sides, bogart's wins

how canbeanstaste this good?!. by adding pulled pork and apparently a big dose of magic! and the pastrami -- oh man, my heart is racing thinking about it.

brilliant!

we have eaten a lot of bbq and this was one of the best! don't be turned off by the long line because it moves quickly. we had ribs, brisket, pulled pork, and all the sides but the chips. my 2-year old loved the cole slaw and thebeanswere especially good but a little spicy for the kiddos. all the sauces were great, i happened to like a combo of the voodoo and the pineapple express. eat there, you won't be disappointed!

so good! and this is coming from an alabamian!. we were looking for lunch and found this place on urbanspoon... the chef warned us on the way in that it would blow our minds, and ummm, he was right. the service was outstanding, starting with the bama fan who took our order. he recommended one of the big combos, so we could try a little of everything.... he said we had to have the ribs. i never eat ribs, but these were insanely good. perfectly seasoned and tender. my fave meat was the sliced prime rib. my group unanimously voted the bakedbeansas the fave side... my b/f's mom was ready to barter anything for the recipe. but everything was great... the pickles, deviled egg potato salad, coleslaw, all the different bbq sauces (the pineappe was my fave). my only complaint is that there was no beer... the only thing that would have made an amazing meal completely perfect!
