I like St. Louis style ribs.

Not barbecue related, but there's this place called Twisted Ranch that I wanna try if I ever get back to St Lou. Has like 30 different flavors of housemade ranch. They actually started selling three types at Wally not long ago.

Also, look up provel cheese.

Pappy's definitely over hyped in my opinion. Brisket sliced thin as sandwich meat.

I have a Twitter friend who is an expert on the STL restaurant scene. I have lobbed your question to him and will pass the info along.

My STL friend replied:
"The easy answer is Sugarfire Smokehouse, which is downtown near the arch. My preference is Pappy’s, a couple miles west just by the Saint Louis University."

Sugarfire and Pappy's are definitely the big players, but don't be afraid to check out some of the smaller joints. Charlotte's Rib in Chesterfield is just a small storefront in a strip mall, but IMO offers some of the best "St. Louis" style BBQ in the city.

Thanks guys for the recommendations we checked out Sugarfire today and are going to hit Pappy's tommorow. We all agreed Sugarfire was very good turkey was fantastic as well as the brisket. Ribs were ok but the other two definitely fit the bill.
