Found this hidden gem thanks to the advice from the folks at Patrick Furniture. Definitely off the beaten path. Food was very good in an old school environment. Good times and good food flowing. Pimento cheese on the sandwich was a unique touch.

It has been years since we ate here with family, so we decided to stop in for lunch on a Saturday. They had remodeled since we were there....long time...very nice, clean restaurant. The staff seated us quickly, and service was great. We ordered the combo with original ribs and pulled pork, with a side of broccoli salad and Belaires (like twice baked potatoes) with cheese and green onion, and dinner rolls. Also ordered the original St. Louis style rib dinner with the same sides. Wow! is all I can say. We have dined around the area for years, and we should have come back sooner. This was the best meal we have had in years. The sides were the biggest hit. Seldom do you find good sides in any restaurant. The broccoli salad with red onion, grapes and I believe pumpkin seeds were the best. Some places serve it raw, but this was lightly steamed and perfect. The Belaires were good, but could use a bit of cream to thin it out as the cream cheese made it a bit thick and dry. The bbq was fantastic too. I would go back every week if we lived there. They have a great menu besides the Q also.

Mike Johnson and his array of Chefs continue to rack up the top accolades around St. Louis for Best BBQ. Mixed in with daily changing sides and homemade pies and desserts, Sugarfire has something for everyone!

This is a unique BBQ restaurant. I like the ribs and the pulled pork. However, with that said, I do not like their cole slaw. Baked beans are Ok! Pricing is a way to high for the food.

I like this restaurant for lunch. The brisket sandwich is my favorite.Ribs are surprisingly tasty. I say this because you think of a larger restaurant having ribs and this place is small but good things come out small beginnings.The only criticism I have is that the place could be kept cleaner.
