Puff Shack BBQ — Restaurant in St. Charles

The BEST BBQ since the BBQ I had over 20 years ago in Texas!!! And one thing you learn in TX is - the worse the place looks on the outside, the better the BBQ on the inside. Now, I don't mean this place looks like a dump, but it is a [clean] no frills joint where all of the love goes into the food. We got there about 7:20 this evening, and we were greeted with the bad news that they were almost out of food, just some brisket and chicken left. We said, "We'll take all of it!" after having read the reviews and smelled the air as we walked in. We ordered gouda mac & cheese, the potatoes, and some coleslaw to go with the meat. Every damn bite was delicious. Everything was hot, and the meat was juicy, even the chicken. Not too salty. The sauce was pretty tasty too. The owner, Zach, seems like a pretty great guy who is just interested in seeing his customers enjoy the food he's serving. We'll be back!! Might even be tomorrow!!! This guy is going to need a bigger restaurant once the...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Outstanding BBQ! If you’re looking for melt-in-your-mouth barbecue and warm, genuine hospitality, this place is a must-visit! The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the incredible aroma of smoked meats and friendly faces who make you feel right at home. The brisket was tender, juicy, and packed with smoky flavor — easily the best I’ve ever had. The ribs fell right off the bone, and that house-made sauce? Perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and smoky. Don’t skip the sides either — the mac & cheese and cole slaw were spot on and the banana pudding tasted just like home. You can tell they put love and pride into everything they serve. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the service is fast and attentive. Whether you’re dining in with family or grabbing takeout, you’ll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit. 🔥 10/10 — Highly recommend for anyone who loves real...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ABSOLUTE BBQ PERFECTION!

Puff Shack BBQ isn’t just food—it’s a full-blown experience. The owner literally stayed open late just so I could pick up my dinner (who does that anymore?!) and I am beyond grateful. That’s next-level customer service right there!

Now let’s talk about the chicken… I’m picky about BBQ—like, VERY picky—and this was hands-down some of the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly smoked, juicy, tender, with just the right kiss of wood-fired magic that only a true pit master can deliver. You can taste the passion in every bite.

Professional? Absolutely. Friendly? 100%. A pit master with skills so good, I half expect them to be protected under state law. If you’re a BBQ lover—or even if you just think you like BBQ—get yourself to Puff Shack BBQ immediately. You’ll leave wondering if you’ve just eaten the best meal of your life.
