I live here in St Louis. There are basically no dine in good BBQ spots! The way to tell off the top if it’s white or black owned, is if there are rib tips on the menu. Burnt ends=white, rib tips=black. Best BBQ here is a drive thru called St Louis BBQ on the corner of Goodfellow and Jennings Station Rd, followed by a BBQ food truck called Mi Hungry on North Kingshighway. IMO
@@ghty181 yes, mi hungry has a restaurant on the Rock Rd north of 170. It doesn’t taste like the one on Kingshighway though. It also has soul food plates that are average at best. Sugarfire is just ok imo. I feel like they are comparable to Bandanas. The excellent Black owned BBQ spots in St Louis are almost all gone now.
@@anthonybrooks1559 sweet potato pie, collard greens with hog maul, Mac n cheese, hot water cornbread, pig ears, and snouts are soul food. They are Jamaican owned and staffed with St. Louisans as well. They sell soul food plates and some jerk items. It’s not just Jamaican cuisine.
I agree. Absolutely beautiful inside. It ooks like an upper scale place... but what good is the obience if the food is trash? Not at those cost. They gotta get a better chef 😂😂😂
Lolo this restaurant didn’t stand a chance of A rating at all😅 Darius you making me laugh? This is the part where you got the dip and sauces.🤦🏽♀️🤣😂😃😂😂😂😂 I love my City, but Darius 🤣😂😂😂😂😂 gotta love it💜 thank God it’s just that one restaurant🙆🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤣😂😅
Just keep it real just keeping it real. It is what it is baby white folks barbecue well Darius besides the food I hope you enjoy some of the St. Louis atmosphere. Great review.💜🎁🥰 smooches
I can believe that on those toasted raviolis they’re not like they used to be when they first came out in St. Louis but you’re right we are staple for toasted raviolis
On a different house I’m not a great big fan really on a lot of dipping sauces unless it’s spicy, but this ranch I’m not a fan of ranch sauces mayonnaise sauces that’s what I call him. I don’t really care for mayonnaise. I don’t like it I’m just saying.🙂lol🤦🏽♀️🙆🏽♀️ not the worst hush puppies you ever had in your life now that’s bad Yep has puppies ain’t like they used to be either people are just not fixing food different. They stick into the recipe original recipe.
I love my hometown so it pains me to agree but that’s what salt & smoke is… Bland AF! Also watch when he pulls the brisket and see how tough it is…🤦🏾♂️
Salt and smoke is a tourist trap. The BBQ is awful. You gotta go to the hood for real bbq. Their rubs are way too salty. They market and promote well but that’s about it…🤷🏾♂️
Darius you are delusional for dogging black owned restaurants while you could not keep your own open. People need their money and this is not helping at all.
i am not a fan of people who bash other food what gives you the right to do stop people from making a living. if i was these places i would ban been video taping inside of these places for safety reason. i would like see how many followers you would have then
I'm not a fan of people consuming content that makes them upset. Like, how would you knowingly watch a video that triggers you and then blame someone else? You deserve it. lol
He always says at the end of the video to try it for yourself. Obviously there are people that like the restaurant because it was recommended to him. Places aren’t going to close from one review. Those that like it will continue to go.
@mrboneman do you understand what a Food Critic aka Restaurant Reviewer is? He gives honest feedback with explanations and descriptions. What more do you want?

He's just giving his opinion.You go to these restaurants for yourself, your money your taste buds.

" When you come, bring your own sauce" took me clean out! Haaaaaaaa

Sugarfire is good, and doesn't mi hungry have a dine in spot on st charles rock rd?

Maybe the flavor of the bbq sauce would of been a little better if you shook the bottle. Maybe😭
It’s given Sus was crazyyyyy lol great review Darius
Them beans looked horrible lol them ribs looked scrumptious 🔥🙌🏾
So bring me a bottle of mild sauce from Harolds
Trattoria Marcella for toasted ravioli. No other option!
Alabama white sauce with the wings

Funny funny😮😮😂
Exactly, that shit ain’t got no flavor or taste.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The trashed ribs and trashed wings are usually good
Haha😂 oh Lord love it though!
Darius in these comments is killing me! 😂😂
You would think he would show that girl some real soul food 🫣
I'm from STL. I don't care for their sauces either.
Sugarfire has great sides
Yes, I know exactly what you talking about. No offense and it is what it is. 😊
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I love my hometown so it pains me to agree but that’s what salt & smoke is… Bland AF! Also watch when he pulls the brisket and see how tough it is…🤦🏾♂️
There's a homeless camp a few blocks west of there...hope you dropped all of that food off😂
What I'm posed to say😮😂😊
I was thinking you should’ve shaken the sauce 1st
The salt and smoke in Delmar Loop is better!!
Why you fire Corey??? I’m being nosey 😩
Wf bbq... not seasoned!!! Just in case you wanted to know. 😂
😂😂😂
Why are the restaurants in St. Louis called Blood and Sand, Salt and Smoke….etc etc bet there’s a restaurant called Fork and Plate.
Darius! Sus???😂😂😂
I dont like any of the "popular" spots in stl. I live here, and I can tell you the best bbq is in my backyard.
lmao MID & Smoke☠
You should have went to Reds Bbq
He already went to Reds the last time he came here and he did not like it
Dead wrong for that at the end. If somebody did that to you while you were out with somebody. You’d be cryin victim
I really dont understand why people steady go there. They are NOT GOOD.
Touching those sauce bottles after licking your fingers. 🤦🏽♀️
Then you gotta try sugar fire.
Salt and smoke is a tourist trap. The BBQ is awful. You gotta go to the hood for real bbq. Their rubs are way too salty. They market and promote well but that’s about it…🤷🏾♂️

Good thing this wasn't a black owned restaurant
He never likes anything
Just leave and don't come back

Excuse me Sir, what's the difference between you voicing your opinion on his post, and him voicing his in these restaurants... None~

Mandalas soul forgot the rest of the name they use plastic utensils but pork steak ,greens and cabbage together is something you should try.
😂😂😂
