Bogarts is part of the Pappy's Smokehouse family, open by a cousin of Pappy's. There are small differences between the two, Bogarts doesn't have a fryer, Pappy's has chicken, and Bogarts has turkey. Bogarts also takes their ribs one step further with an apricot glaze and a finishing torch to get that shine and crisp. The ribs were juicy and pulling away from the bone. Even the fat and cartilage clinging to the bone was great. You can season them up with BBQ sauces named for the owner's family members, Sweet Maegan Ann is the owner's daughter and Mad Maddie is an adventurous niece, I also liked the spicy Voodoo sauce. The best burnt ends I had in St Louis were at Bogarts, and I tried them eve...
I visit Bogart's for the best ribs I've ever tasted. Their ribs are glazed with a slightly sweet sauce that has a hint of apricot, so delicious that I often forgo any additional sauces. The way they are prepared gives you two delightful experiences in one. The glaze is slightly charred, caramelizing the sugars and forming a chewy layer that I savor slowly, often with my eyes closed. Beneath that caramelization lies a wonderfully juicy layer of meat that perfectly balances the sweetness above. I can’t help but let juice dribble down my chin as I switch between the chewy glaze and the tender meat, occasionally gnawing on the bone to extract every last morsel, fully aware that I'm indulging in...
Bogarts lives up to the hype. in St. Louis, I gather that barbecue aficionados shoes between Pappys and Bogart as they go to. Bogart was excellent. The location was very cool, and the staff extremely accommodating and friendly. They certainly went out of their way to meet my needs as my visit was a stop on the way to the airport. The burnt ends sandwich was great! I was able to eat and enjoy every morsel, and did not have to spit out any overcooked, charcoal like pieces. I've read other reviews commenting on the light smoke flavor and agree. While I prefer the heavy smoked flavor, I still give a 5 star. I've yet to try my ribs, potato salad and beans. None the less, based on the location, av...
**Bogart's: 4.5/5 | Sugarfire: 0/5 | Pappy's: 5/5** Bogart's offers pastrami, which we didn’t find at any other places, so we decided to give it a try. It was very delicious! The ribs were also quite good, although Pappy's edges them out just slightly. Accessing Bogart's via public transport was a bit challenging, but manageable. We visited around 3 PM on a weekday, and the place was empty, as they close at 4 PM. The coleslaw is the same as at Pappy's—apparently, they share the same owner—and it’s a vinegar-based mix with cabbage and apple. It pairs wonderfully with the rich barbecue. I did find myself needing some sauce for the ribs every now and then, but they were still far superior to S... Book a table now
Not just the best bbq I have had in St. Louis, the best bbq I have ever had. Took the family there for lunch after church today, and split a special with a rack of ribs, 3 sandwiches and 4 sides. Toms of food for less than we would have spent anywhere else. Everything that we got was delicious! The smoked turkey was my favorite, while my wife and son raved about the ribs. Sides were good, especially the baked beans. LOADED with pepper! Service was quick and everyone was nice and helpful. Yeah the place is small and the food sells out sometimes. These aren't negatives, just things you should know if you want to bring a large group or have your heart set on a specific thing to eat!
During my visit to St. Louis, I searched for barbecue restaurants and discovered Bogart's on my list. It was absolutely fantastic! I'm quite particular when it comes to barbecue, and I can confidently say this place is top-notch. The staff were friendly and accommodating, which made the experience even better. We ordered brisket, pulled pork, and pastrami by the pound to take home. Everything was juicy and full of flavor, with the pastrami and brisket standing out as the highlights for us. Everything was delicious, to the point where we didn't even chat while eating. You know a place is special when locals are lining up before it opens!
I had high hopes for this place based on reviews and specifically the comments about lines that can be out the door and certain items selling out early in the day, unfortunately, it didn't hit for me. First, the woman at the front who took our order was not friendly, or particularly helpful which is immediately off putting. We ordered a few different items and I would recommend the burnt ends and trying the deviled egg potato salad and the baked beans. I was excited for the corned beef and the brisket, but they were chewy/tough even though sliced very thin, I couldn't enjoy eating it and ended up wasting at least half of both orders.
We came here after leaving a really long line at another BBQ spot on Friday at lunch time and were pleasantly surprised by a very short line and quick service. We ordered the pulled pork and half slab of ribs with sides (slaw, potato salad, beans). The ribs were fantastic and flavorful, but the pulled pork was a bit bland by itself and needed to be dipped in sauce. The sides were what you would expect. Overall a great, quick BBQ spot in St. Louis! Book a table now
Driving cross country, we were FAMISHED. Exhausted. Dying. I ran to yelp to find a local BBQ place, and this was the first place to pop up that was along our route. Trailer in tow, we found a place to park and walked a few blocks to Bogarts. Our food was delicious and hit the spot. The baked beans, *chefs kiss*. I don't know if I'll ever come back but if I'm ever back in St Louis, this place will be on our list!
The best bbq loved it come before 11 to get the burnt ends before they run out. The ribs are heavenly. Right across from the Soulard market
