This place was an experience that any que lover should experience. We were driving through st louis on our way to southern illinois and I looked on this website to find a ma and pap place to try some real st louis que, and there is a reason this place has 12 (now 13) glowing reviews. The ribs were incredible and the service was outstanding. Ma chatted us up while we waiting for our food and and when we were done eating pa talked to us for about a half our about how they go about making their sauce the best. This includes calling all over north america to find the right kind of maple to make the sugar for his sauce. That brings us to the sauce and the ribs; succulent, sweet, a kiss of vinegar and and after taste that leaves you wanting more. The shrimp were awesome and my first experience with snoot was a memorable one. This place is easy to get to, right off I-70 and yes, the neighborhood is 'well worn' So if that makes you uncomfortable, get over it because you'll miss out.
Pros: great food, great people
