I truly have never had this kind of melt-in-your-mouth, cut it with a fork 30 oz pork steak ever!! We had candied bacon & baked beans for the sides with the same result. Golly, this place is AMAZING!! We couldn’t stop there, went into the butcher shop inside & bought a couple packages of the candied bacon. Yum!!

Great BBQ with something on the menu for everyone. They just added table service which is a very nice touch. My pulled pork sandwich was perfect and was accompanied with housemade pickles and pickled onions which added some nice crunch. The french fries were perfectly cooked and nicely seasoned. They also came with a homemade “fry” dipping sauce – soooo tasty. The place is spacious and they played classic rock & roll. The butcher shop is very impressive but my favorite spot was The Skullery where chef Sandusky teaches cooking classes and hosts events – see pictures below.

This is a great place! We got incredible service from the young man named Elijah at the front. I mean truly personable and kind and made us feel welcome with solid suggestions. The food was perfect. I got the fatty brisket which was seasoned incredibly well, Mac and cheese which was very creamy, Brussels also made to perfection. My wife got the rib tips, fries and coleslaw, all delicious. Not a bad first St. Louis bbq experience. It’ll be hard to beat!!

The building itself is vast. Really open concept takes a bit to settle into the metal loft style feeling. Food is on a simple menu. Service was great. Food even better. Long wait time for food approximately 30 mins.

The service is always so fast and friendly, and the food is literally amazing! We sat outside and the staff came and brought out a container of napkins and sauce for us. They offered to get us silverware as well. They checked on us (and others) outside as well, which was great!

One of my favorites, but this meal took the food to new heights. A fried ribs special was five-star delicious, reminded me of Korean barbecue.

Believe the hype! Please try the ribs and pork steak and you’ll instantly understand why Beast is on so many “best BBQ in America” lists. Tender, fall off the bone meat. I also tried Salt+Smoke and Sugarfire (both of which were pretty good) but this is in a league of its own. I almost skipped it because it’s a little outside downtown St. Louis but it’s well worth the trip!

We got the sample plates that included chicken, brisket, kielbasa sausage, and rib tips. The meat was good. I liked the sauce the best. The baked beans were my favorite side.

It’s been a good while since I have had bbq I would give 5 stars to. Beast meets that mark in every category. The ribs and pork steak were incredibly well done with the perfect balance of smoke and flavor. What surprised me the most was how good the potato salad and smoked cauliflower were. All of this said the place was also really clean and well run. I’ll be back many times of that I’m sure.
