Red’s The One And Only BBQ: St. Louis' Best Barbecue Experience

Great food with an amazing flavor. Quality meat, full of flavor and tenderness. Worth every dime.

I wanted to check out the St. Louis style barbecue since I was in the city. I ordered the beef ribs, but they were already out at around 2 PM so I ordered the half chicken and the beef. Both were amazing, especially the beef link. The service was on point. Also I waited less than five minutes for my food.

Store was very clean.. Service was quick and polite,food was hot, good and fresh. Flavors are consistent

I've been in St. Louis for a year and I have tried bbq spots but NOBODY is cooking on a charcoal grill except for Reds! This is REAL bbq. You can see the huge drum grills and smoke from across the street. The prices are average bbq prices. I paid $19 for the tip/link combo with 1 side and I ate off of that plate for 3 days. The bbq sauce tastes homemade with a perfect balance of heat, acidity and sweet. MORE THAN ENOUGH SAUCE FOR THE PLATE. The links were more like regular polish sausage but still good. The potato salad was good! Just like I like it. The wait for the food was about 20min. No call ins unless the order is over $50 according to signs posted. Auntie at the order counter had a great personality and better customer service. She walked over to my table and brought an extra to go container (cause I tore mine) and extra bags! THAT'S going the extra mile. She answered all my questions without getting annoyed. They have a nice sized parking lot on the side of the building. You can't miss it.

Not only was the Food was delicious, but the portions were MASSIVE and cheap. Burnt ends smoky, tender and delicious and polish sausages a flavorful combination of spicy, sweet and savory. Tomato based bbq sauce was delicious as was the potato salad. Only complaint is the lack of variety in sides: only potato salad and bakes beans are offered. Would be nice to hAve stuff like mac n cheese, collard greens, cornbread etc

Nice family run place. Different from the corporate and chain barbecue restaurants. Good food and modest prices. For some reason they are not currently serving brisket, which is a loss. A good restaurant to help Ferguson move back up.

I come here so much esp during Covid so my review will be on the experience during Covid. I usually come and get two things whole chicken no sauce or Turkey leg no sauce. I frequent during that time so much that the gentleman there recognized me and knew I would get the whole chicken for your mom so whenever I would step foot there one of the guys who is normally there taking orders would say " how's your mom doing", " whole chicken no sauce", I gotcha That is small but means a lot. Saying this is to say even being a repeated customer, they take pride in their business and I'll continue to come. I actually that time got a chicken for a neighbor who was grieving so I thought "food is the perfect soother".
