gonna be in STL June 1-2

Sugarfire, Bogart's and Pappy's are the 3 best in the city. Bogarts and Pappy's are downtown and will be a long run for you from Lindenwood.

Luckily Sugarfire has a location close to Lindenwood:

3150 Elm Point Industrial Dr.
St. Charles, MO 63301


Now I have also heard that Hendricks BBQ is good, but I have never been there. If you are looking for a second choice after Sugarfire you could try here:

1200 S Main St, St Charles, MO 63301

Also a lot of other great places to eat on Main St in St. Charles. Great microbrewery called Trailhead.

PM me if you need more recommendations!

Beast craft in Belleville or fine swine in New Baden are two I would add to your list.

I will echo everything Stlsportster said. I'll even put emphasis on Sugarfire.
The only thing I can add, is that WHATEVER you do.....
... Do NOT go to "Bandanas BBQ". :doh: :drama: :tsk:

Be sure to hit the STL bbq store which is just up the road. Impressive place
