St. Louis Restaurant Hunt | Salt + Smoke

American BBQ for a Casual Hangout with Friends 🥩 Looking for a cozy spot in St. Louis to chat with friends? Salt + Smoke’s American smoked BBQ might be just the place! With an average cost of $20-$30 per person, you don’t have to spend a lot to eat comfortably, plus you can enjoy the relaxed vibe of chatting with a breeze～ The four of us ordered three BBQ plates—each lets you choose your meat and sides, which is super flexible! For the meat, we picked chicken wings, beef ribs, and chicken breast; for sides, we went with buttery fries and corn. As a “fry lover” 🍟, their buttery fries were a total hit! The outside had a light buttery aroma, crispy on the outside and soft inside, with just the right amount of salt—you can’t stop eating them. The chicken wings didn’t disappoint either: the skin was crispy, and the meat inside was tender and juicy when torn open 💦. The seasoning wasn’t too heavy, so you could taste the natural freshness of the meat. Pairing it with fries was perfect～ Honestly, though, if this were in Shanghai, I might not go out of my way to visit again. But in St. Louis, it’s a nice occasional treat—the highlight isn’t how amazing the food is, but the comfort of sitting with friends, feeling the breeze, chatting, and sharing a plate of BBQ. That simple joy is the best part 😆～ #WUSTL #StLouisFoodRecommendations
