I tried several types of tacos (brisket, pork belly, rib, and barbacoa), and all of them were magnificent. As a side note, I live in Texas, where tacos are ubiquitous; and even so, this place really wow-ed me. The kitchen was a little slow, but our server was very friendly. Bottom line, the food was worth the wait. I would definitely return!

Upon arrival to St. Louis, we asked our Uber driver for his recommendation for BBQ, and he recommended SugarFire. He was so right!! The pulled pork and brisket were amazing. The stop in St. Louis was a small part of our nearly 2 week trip, and this meal at SugarFire was the best meal of the whole trip. Even the side dishes were excellent. One of my favorite things about this place is that they put the meat directly on a sheet of paper (looks like a cross between construction paper and contractor paper), and they serve the sides in little paper holders. This is so much better than generating piles of styrofoam. The price is great too. Don't be worried by the line in front of the restaurant--the line moves fast and you'll get in soon. We would almost return to St. Louis just to go here again!

Great food, unassuming place. This place is a little off the beaten path, but well worth a short detour! The staff is great- seems like everybody does a little bit of everything. They probably aren't family but it has that kind of vibe. The food is extraordinary. I tried the pulled pork, tri-tip, and meatloaf. Great, great and great! Had cornbread in a skillet for starters, amazing. And four great sauces to choose from.Decor is fun, lots of photos of musicians. Any place that has pictures of David Bowie and Buddy Guy can't be bad, right? Honestly, just go there. You'll be glad you did!

The food was lovely, the staff were great but I took my wife there for a nice afternoon meal, after carefully checking it was suitable the day before and we didn't like our experience.As we entered there were only two other customers in the restaurant and there were plenty of spare tables.We got our food and the atmosphere was nice, with nice music playing and as our food came a man sat on the very next table, ordered food and then started to watch Star Trek Voyager on his phone. It was as loud as you like and it was extremely intrusive and it really spoiled our romantic afternoon.I mean who on earth goes into a restaurant to watch TV on their phone?I was going to jar him but a fella who thinks its acceptable to watch Star Trek while he is eating in a restaurant isnât going to think it reasonable of me to ask him to stop and then I would get all stroppy and it would spoil my night.I asked my wife if she wanted to move to another table but she was happy to leave, in fairness by this point we were stuffed and we asked for a doggy bag and took back what was left, and there was a lot.For me it was a spoiler and I think restaurant owners need to watch out for this, he was a local chap as the owner called him by name.My review is based on if I would go back, and I'm sorry, as nice as the food was, and as nice as the staff were, he spoiled our meal so I wouldn't go back!
