The 37 Best Restaurants in St. Louis, Missouri

"Anyone who wants the tried-and-true STL barbecue experience should visit Pappy’s Smokehouse in midtown, which has garnered more awards and accolades than can be counted on fingers and toes. The restaurant’s crowning achievement is pork ribs, dry-rubbed, smoked for 14 hours over fruitwood, and quickly basted with glaze to finish (never hiding under a drippy sauce). Traditional sides — fried corn on the cob, applesauce, and of course, baked beans — keep very good company with all that meaty glory." - Holly Fann, Joel Crespo
