The BBQ Shack — Restaurant in St. Louis

May 8th was certainly a long wait for an old pork steak that was overcooked whenever it was cooked just missed the rib tips should of left when told there were no more and sides was the bottom of the pot and the last little bit in the bowl...Spaghetti noodles stuck together and spicy and we couldn't determine if it had meat in it..it would of been okay not for a 7yr old that really wanted it i couldn't of enjoy it..yes Mothers day we had paid so we waited and waited and waited for what was available but why put hot barbecue sauce on a dry piece of meat not crisp from the grill and sell it like it was fresh and make a customer wait for that like so wrong..if you would of only answered the phone it would not have been a visit that day..No tips..no burgers..no grilled chicken of any part ..no sides most of the same when you were further down Natural Bridge many...

On a funny side note, when I talk to people about this place, the easiest way to describe the location is "across the street from the notorious gas station on...
