10-42 Bar&Que — Restaurant in Gravois Mills

I got the Carolina Pulled Pork. The coleslaw that comes on it was the best I've ever had (definitely not the sweet, gross, white stuff your relatives insist on bringing to every family event), and together with the pork and bun, it created a very rounded flavor profile that was a little sweet from the yellow bun, a little sharp from the coleslaw, and was married together with the flavor and tenderness of the pork. The curly fries were cut and made in-house. They were very much "like grandma used to make" and definitely lacked the oh-so-loved "frozen in a plastic sack" taste. As for the service, our server was either the owner or a manager and was very pleasant and considerate, checked on us often, and didn't take forever in bringing a high chair for my daughter. The guy who came to rake some leaves around the outside dining area (where we asked to sit) was both friendly and polite as if we had been neighbors for a while, but also not intrusive. This will be my family's go-to whenever we are adventuring around the area. Great stop. No...

You walk in this lil hole in the wall type hidden treasure and the smell hits you. And you cant wait to taste anything they have (I even considered the paper menu, several times). The food comes and it's better than the smell! Mike and the young gal working front of the house are amazing. That gal is best for selling everything we got (and it was A LOT). I hurt but didnt want to stop. Loved Mike, the cook came out to talk too. Learned about the place and a bit of their method to make it all so good. He cares about his preparation.

Ranch - I want in a glass. Etc.... Thank you! Take the drive or pick up on your way through, you'll be so glad and...

We were so hopeful that this would be a good place to get BBQ on the west side, but unfortunately it isn't! We went for lunch yesterday, and 3 out of 3 agreed the meat tasted bad. I don't know if they use liquid smoke, or if something is wrong with the smoker, but the meat had a sour/acidic like taste. The brisket was tender, but the outside of it tasted bad. There really wasn't much of a smoke ring either, so that makes me question their smoking technique. The turkey was really bad! I stole a piece from my husbands sandwich, and had to spit it out. The beans were not great, and neither was the...
