Sugarfire Smoke House in Olivette - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

First time was so excited with my mom.Staff was rude not very friendly. The special chilly willy taste like a regular chili dog. Not sure if I will go back.

BBQ was great, but the family style tables makes for crowded dining.

We were traveling across the country and stayed one night in St. Charles, MO & came about this place. When MO, you really need to check out this BBQ place! My husband can’t stop talking about the brisket and ribs! It was the BEST he’s ever had. He’s a big BBQ guy too! The Mac & cheese was a little lacking in taste and texture but I truly enjoyed the pulled pork, collard greens and corn bread a lot! The honey butter was amazing! The food, ambience and staff was very professional and friendly. Oh, forgot to mentioned that the Chef was on Beat Bobby Flat food network. We would definitely recommend this place! Maybe they’ll consider to come to Sandy, Oregon (wink, wink)!

We had salad and brisket cheesesteak sandwich. YUM! Can't wait till next time

Stopped for lunch on the way to the airport. Very quick service with lots of choices. All food was excellent. The corn bread was so moist. We had ribs, pulled pork and brisket. The sides were plentiful.

I could've had a V8. The first guy was rude and rushing me. I've never been here, relax. Brisket was meh. Potato salad was soupy and mustard heavy. I was very disappointed in the tea. It's hard to mess up tea, but they did it.

I actually love sugar fire food but I recently came to purchase brisket & rib combo & was told it was $2 up charge so it was another special that was a few $$ more than the choice I made I thought the two meats & 3 sides didn't have the $3 up choice on it are I wouldn't have picked that because it was more money & a up choice so how was that a better option because I didn't need the extra side & I actually hate complaining but since you're giving me choice to write about my experience could anyone make it make sense to me thank you

We always love this place, great brisket, and ribs. Always good service too.

The meat was awesome! Wasn't a fan of the side choices.

Visiting a friend in the Lou who recommended this bbq spot. Order the brisket and rib 2 meat combo. Meats were on point. Choice of sauces and sodas were different and great! One small thing I'd suggest is serve the cornbread warm. Oven warm cornbread is the best! Definitely try this place for great bbq and unique sides and sauces.

I highly recommend this joint for a quality meal for a reasonable price. I tried their brisket and smoked turkey combo, which had vegetables and corn bread. Everything was right on point! I had a piece of ribs from my friend, and it was juicy and flavorful! Two 👍🏾 👍🏾 up!

Food is amazing. The service behind the serving station is very bad. I asked what sauce they would recommend and was ignored. When I said “I hope the food is better than the service” the guy looked at me and said “hopefully”.

Omg! This was delicious. Great & friendly service. Large portions. So, many different bbq sauces to try. Definitely returning.

Not enough quantity for the price

Everything we have had there has been excellent on all levels.

Great BBQ, Wish they had one closer to Indianapolis

Food was OK greens taste like vinegar small portion of meat 75.00 for two plates NEVER AGAIN... I traveled 600 miles for NOTHING

Excellent meal, nice portion of main meat, generous sides, interesting eclectic beverages! When we first arrived, it was quiet. Got loud as more people arrived. We never felt rushed to leave. Ample indoor and outdoor seating.

It is one of the best BBQ places in St. Louis. Meats are juicy and definitely delicious. Sides have big portions and many choices, and they are delicious too. Free drinks with purchase. The atmosphere is relaxing. Facilities are clean. I will go back with friends and family, since I don't like eating alone.

Variety of sauces! Ribs weren't that good. Brisket and sausage were great! The fries..wow those were out of this world.

Great place to sit and eat or grab something on the run.

Gotta check out that southern BBQ while in town. Very tasty brisket!

Great Carolina pulled pork sandwiches.

We came in for our birthday dinner and were not let down. It was the best bbq we have had. I had a brisket dip and my boyfriend had ribs. Absolutely amazing!

Overall, the entire meal just fell pretty flat flavor-wise. None of the meats had a smokey bbq flavor. The greenbeans were the best thing on my plate. The rest of the sides were just okay. At best the meal was edible, but not enjoyable.

We thoroughly enjoyed the spare ribs. They were fall off the bone tender. Included with the meal were two sides and a soft drink making this tasty meal a good value.

Great food & great atmosphere! Highly recommend as a place to take friends visiting from out of town.

So I ordered the 2 meat meal with brisket and ribs…both were cooked way too long.

Everyone was super friendly and the food was delicious. We traveled from Memphis and I might say it’s better than some of the BBQ joints in Memphis

The dipped brisket was okay, but the pulled pork was great. I didn't like the beans it was too watery.

Embarrassing owner doesn’t even have cajones to reply, stick to tx bbq or Kc. Rubbber duck pterodactyl meat.

Seems they got a lot of new people in there. There is a lot of workers standing around and not doing anything. With a few people who are actually working.

So good! Equally excellent team. The energy was correct. You can taste and feel the love

We came here 6 years ago and when we were planning our trip back to St. Louis we knew we couldn’t make the trip without including Sugarfire. The food is amazing. I love their daily sides. Mac and cheese was so good. Fries are good too. Love the variety of sauces. Also, make sure to get pie!

What can I say the place is a classic

Great food, especially the sauces!

Closed early at tailgate despite having plenty of food to throw away. Good food if they don't get lazy and will actually sell it to you.

Enjoyed a full rack. Interesting sauces, including a horse radish version.

Awesome food and good service. We can't wait to return to try what we couldn't on our first visit.

ribs are really good. Potato salad is okay. baked beans off the hook!!! The pie place is awesome.

It's a hidden jewel. If you're ever in the areas you must try. Hot food, pleasant atmosphere, and the staff is very attentive ,,as well as polite.

Had to try the meat daddy 🐷 just great food

This the BBQ spot that convinced my girlfriend that BBQ can be so good. The food was so clean, delicious, and perfectly smoked. We were so full after trying the two meat combos, getting to try almost everything on the menu. A really satisfied full that comes from quality food. It was hard to pick a favorite, with the ribs and smoked turkey being some of the best! The staff are real pros who will help you out as well.

A little pricy for the portion size. And service with a smile could use some work. Cafeteria style doesn't warrant tips, but they put suggestions on the card scanner screen. But good food fast service, worth the visit

Had the BBQ'd TURKEY on 'Memorial Day'!...It was good!...But wanted to try something different, as I have had the rack of ribs and the brisket on prior visits to this RESTAURANT! -

Great food, friendly staff and clean.

The smoky aroma as I stepped through the door let me know I was in for a good time. Best meal I have ever had at Sugarfire! (And every meal I’ve ever had there has been excellent.)

Nice food, the staff were not very friendly.

Never disappoints. Great BBQ, sides and pies. Quick and easy. An unbeatable combo!

Preodered six brisket balls and what we received was a slap in the face. We had been waiting to pick these up on our trip to St Louis and was very disappointed. There was not one brisket ball that had a respectable size or amount of brisket. This was NOTHING like what we had previously that caused us to be so excited that we would put in a special order. On the positive side the taste was not bad but it was nearly impossible to spot brisket by eye or by taste.

Food is excellent. Prices are fair. The staff is good and attentive. Highly recommend!

Top quality BBQ every time! Great pulled pork and smoked turkey with awesome sides! They never disappoint! **Still great!

The brisket is outstanding also Salmon. Great place for the family and everygreat food. A great beverage outstanding.

Would have given five stars if they still had the portobello sandwich. Please bring it back

Got 1\2 rack of ribs, one end was cooked to jerky consistency. Rest of 1\2 rack were overdone, not moist with that pull off bone texture.Got sick to stomach. Won't get these again. Sides were very good. Baked beans & hash brown casserole. Overall not sure if I will return or reccommend. At the price I expect better!!! Waste of money.

Very good as always. Interesting decor and atmosphere. Brought out-of-towners. Crowded as usual but didnt stand in line but for a few minutes to order at the counter. Fast service with tray with butcher paper as plates. Great smoked meat variety incl ribs if not sold out along with three different BBQ sauces. Love the white sauce. Multiple choices of sides and three kinds of delicious pies. Get your own drinks. Some shared seating on long tables. Outside dining too. Beer available. Always good eating!

With so many good BBQ places, this is merely average. I think I'm in the minority on this point, the place had a long line. Closes at 7pm, which confuses me.

A St. Louis staple for all things BBQ. Placed a bulk meat pick up order for Easter Sunday. Brisket, burnt ends, pulled pork and jalapeño cheddar sausage is our go to. Always a crowd favorite. They do a great job guiding you how much to order for the size gathering you’re having. Options to add plates/silverware if needed. Between the quality of the food, the service we always receive and the overall family satisfaction at each gathering, Sugarfire will continue to reign as our family event easy button.

From out of town and looking for a good place to eat, stopped by Sugarfire and loved it! The hamburgers were delicious and the bbq was the best. Wish they would open a restaurant in El Paso , TX! 🤪. Try the fried green tomatoes and pies! ⭐️

Brisket is quite dry. Solid four out of five.

St. Louis continues to prove it’s the BBQ capital with great places light Sugarfire. Few things are more delicious than the basics when it comes to BBQ and the pulled pork does not disappoint. What sets sugarfire apart is not just great meats, but the sides - pit beans, baked beans, potato salad and even the fried green beans that I tried for the first time today. The pies are sooo good they opened a store next store where you can buy them whole.

Always great BBQ, fun atmosphere, friendly team always smiling and chatting. Fun place!!

This is authentic BBQ. Meat is smoked to perfection, service is attentive. If you like real down home BBQ stop here if your in the St Louis Area

The meat here is just so tender.It's just so delicious

Spend your time/money at Salt n Smoke instead…

Sugarfire is best BBQ place in STL. Its expensive and self service place and it is disappointing for me as they discontinued their chicken sandwich and not a lot of other options apart from BBQ. My husband enjoyed them but said it was pricy.

Nothing fancy... indoor and outdoor seating... Brisket and Ribs are spectacular!

The Big Muddy was awesome. Great sandwich and the fries were phenomenal.

If I were them I would be embarrassed to call that food. Dry brisket, even drier pulled pork and ribs. When the french fries are the best thing on your tray you know you picked the wrong place. Huge thumbs down. My dogs said the ribs were good but then again they lick their own butts. The Hispanic guys behind the meat counter were great, the rest seemed like they were in prison. BOOOOOO sugarfire

Always great BBQ, in and out in 7min flat.

Portions could be a little bigger for the price.

We live an hour and a half away and make sure we eat here when we can get down there, the food is always spot on , the staff is always great and for as many people that go through the restaurant the manager always recognizes us.

Simply delish! This is the 3rd bbq place in 3 days and my favorite!! Service was awesome and pulled pork was juicy but not fatty. The Mac & Cheese hit the spot! They have a great selection of sauces!! The brisket cheese steak should be a strong conversation - especially if you’re hungry!!

I really enjoyed this place. The brisket was perfectly cooked and delicious. The pulled pork could have used a little more flavor but the barbecue sauce took care of that. The sausage was amazing. The turkey was some of the best I've ever tasted and the baked beans were divine. The potatoes were a little undercooked for my personal taste, but the flavor was good. Service was fast and professional. Overall it was a great experience and I'll look forward to going again.

food is 10/10 every time. got a double bacon cheese burger, hash brown casserole & fried green tomatoes! thank you for your kind service too’

Very good food! young man serving the meat not very friendly this was my first time actually! workers need to be more customer friendly in there approach in dealing with the public because you don't know who's watching.

Best BBQ in the #stl Amazing sauces and wonderful service

We’ve eaten at two of the locations now and the food has been great each time. It’s not a fancy restaurant, it’s a bbq/ribs/brisket place just like we used to eat at in Texas. Great side dishes, clean tables, made for focusing on enjoying the food.

The best place to get ST Louis ribs is in ST Louis. Got the half rack and did a little mixology with the sauces. Makes me wish I was not just passing through

Service was straight food wasn't all that good except the brisket was tender needed a lil more flavor. I don't think they use wood to smoke there meat it taste more like pressure cooked and BBQ'd with charcoal after

I don't know how they stay in business. Got a brisket sandwich and some french fries a third of the brisket was fat. I know, brisket supposed to be fatty but not that fatty, the fries, they said they were gonna cook fresh, which they did. Unfortunately the oil was not. The Bun is very flimsy they need a more substantial bun if they ever get the brisket right.

Visiting here and was recommended this place. I tried the brisket cheesesteak, and whatever soup/chowder. The soup was really damn good, i could have had a big bowl of it. The cheesesteak wasn't so hot. The onions and peppers tasted really good, however the "nacho" cheese sauce does not belong on this sandwich. Completely ruined it for me. Next visit I'll stick with the meats alone and not get fancy. Overall this place is a solid 4.5 and i will definitely be coming back!.

This place is amazing! I've never had smoked brisket or turkey that was this well prepared. So good I went back several times during my short visit to St Louis. The sides were a little bit small portioned but fine for what I paid for. Food that's bad for the heart, but good for the soul!

I love this place, but it's too expensive for me. $17.00 for a sandwich and 1 side.

Great food, vegetarian option so if you don't eat meat you can still go out with your friends.

I ordered ribs, pull pork in Sugarfire Smoke Olivette location today. The food is good. But it is terrible, there were two glass pieces in the pull pork when my mother-in-law ate the pull pork. My mother-in-law 's mouth was hurt by the glass pieces. When I picked up the glass pieces to check what are these, the glass pieces hurt my finger too. It is not safe to eat these meats even though the food tasted good. This restaurant should not mix the dangerous glass pieces into the food, they should prepare the food more carefully.

Great spot downtown St Louis for BBQ. It was packed at lunch and took about a hour to get through the line and get food. The brisket was amazing! The Mac and cheese also a hit. I had them warm up the cornbread and would recommend doing that. All very good!

Worst possible location of the brand. I frequent the one by the arch, st. Charles, and our favorite location in Washington....This place is terrible. I was eager with the line that had formed outside prior to doors opening. The customer service line flow was good....A ton of delivery and pickup orders that never seemed to stop. The problem being the food itself was awful. Nothing like what the chain represents and prides itself on. I really cannot fathom why they had such amazing business bustling about when they food quality was so far beneath the Sugar Fire standard. Burnt a dry meat. Limited side selection. Out of brisket, turkey, and chicken in the first 22minutes of opening. Just an overall sad experience.

We ordered carry out- the food was warm, and they even packed the fries when I got there so they were still a bit warm when I got home. The ribs, brisket, and turkey were moist and delicious. We got a variety of sauces to try in the bag, too.

Get the brisket and fried green tomatoes. You won't be sorry 🤤

Great food and it's a nice fast pace if you're dropping in for lunch.

Sugarfire has traditionally provided exceptional BBQ, sauces, sides, and personality. However, in recent visits, even when not busy, I feel that they seem to have lost their spark. Today, when I arrived at the counter to order, the server just stared at me. Absent were the usual pleasantries such as 'Welcome, what would you like'. Just a blank stare. While checking out, it seemed that there was a lot of fun conversation amongst the staff and no focus on the only customer in line at the time. While their selection of sauces remains 2nd to none, my brisket was overcooked and dry. Sadly, this experience is similar to those of my last 3 or 4 visits.

Delicious! Not a huge fan of the slaw though.

Gratuity of 17$ for an order? I get my own drink, I throw away my own tray and get my own boxes? Sugarfire has their nerve? Never again

Food here is always good. The people waiting on you can be a bit brusque, but I think it's simply because they are working to get the food out quickly. I like that they have local sodas instead of the standard Coke or Pepsi options.

We have eaten there several times. Always friendly staff and the food is 💯 great! Highly recommend!!

We visit this amazing BBQ spot every time we come in from out of state. Called them on Xmas Eve to make sure they were open, and they said “absolutely.” Went in at 1:15pm. Fortunately, they seem busy (great for their business). We were promptly told that “they are only serving delivery orders - we are not allowed to sit inside, but we can order and eat outside.” We walk up to the menu, and one of the cooks yells at us, “did you guys walk in that door, because we are closed!” [This is while they are literally making a full line of multiple orders right in front of us] Another cook says, “no problem, guys, we can help you.” As we look over the menu, another cook shouts aloud, “we don’t have any sides for them.” [This is while they are literally making a full line of multiple orders right in front of us] We feel rather uncomfortable and unwelcome, decided to leave, and then spend our $90 for takeout lunch somewhere else.

It's a long wait but well worth it. This place has some of the best BBQ you will ever eat.

My pull pork sandwich was excellent and the potato salad was perfect, Brisket sandwich 1 of the best I ever eat

The food of course, is very good. I got the three meat combo plate with brisket, pulled pork, and salmon. It was all very good. I always feel like I don't get enough brisket but I'm sure that's just me. The service is good. Of course the price is a little high but I'm sure it's competitive with other places of its kind.
