Food Truck Feast

Bogarts is part of the Pappy's Smokehouse family, open by a cousin of Pappy's. There are small differences between the two, Bogarts doesn't have a fryer, Pappy's has chicken, and Bogarts has turkey. Bogarts also takes their ribs one step further with an apricot glaze and a finishing torch to get that shine and crisp. The ribs were juicy and pulling away from the bone. Even the fat and cartilage clinging to the bone was great. You can season them up with BBQ sauces named for the owner's family members, Sweet Maegan Ann is the owner's daughter and Mad Maddie is an adventurous niece, I also liked the spicy Voodoo sauce. The best burnt ends I had in St Louis were at Bogarts, and I tried them everywhere. Peppery, juicy, fatty, smoky, meaty. You could taste garlic and a slight sweetness. I didn't understand why people love burnt ends until I had these. The potato salad is mustardy and eggy. The barbecue beans were full of pulled pork. It's a small place. I went right as they opened and within minutes there was a line out the door, so come early if you want to eat at a table.

Bogarts lives up to the hype. in St. Louis, I gather that barbecue aficionados shoes between Pappys and Bogart as they go to. Bogart was excellent. The location was very cool, and the staff extremely accommodating and friendly. They certainly went out of their way to meet my needs as my visit was a stop on the way to the airport. The burnt ends sandwich was great! I was able to eat and enjoy every morsel, and did not have to spit out any overcooked, charcoal like pieces. I've read other reviews commenting on the light smoke flavor and agree. While I prefer the heavy smoked flavor, I still give a 5 star. I've yet to try my ribs, potato salad and beans. None the less, based on the location, available items to purchase and take away including TShirts, dry rub, three BBQ sauces and more, staff friendliness, staff service, and the excellence of the burnt ends 5 stars it is.

I had high hopes for this place based on reviews and specifically the comments about lines that can be out the door and certain items selling out early in the day, unfortunately, it didn't hit for me. First, the woman at the front who took our order was not friendly, or particularly helpful which is immediately off putting. We ordered a few different items and I would recommend the burnt ends and trying the deviled egg potato salad and the baked beans. I was excited for the corned beef and the brisket, but they were chewy/tough even though sliced very thin, I couldn't enjoy eating it and ended up wasting at least half of both orders.

We came here after leaving a really long line at another BBQ spot on Friday at lunch time and were pleasantly surprised by a very short line and quick service. We ordered the pulled pork and half slab of ribs with sides (slaw, potato salad, beans). The ribs were fantastic and flavorful, but the pulled pork was a bit bland by itself and needed to be dipped in sauce. The sides were what you would expect. Overall a great, quick BBQ spot in St. Louis!

Driving cross country, we were FAMISHED. Exhausted. Dying. I ran to yelp to find a local BBQ place, and this was the first place to pop up that was along our route. Trailer in tow, we found a place to park and walked a few blocks to Bogarts. Our food was delicious and hit the spot. The baked beans, *chefs kiss*. I don't know if I'll ever come back but if I'm ever back in St Louis, this place will be on our list!
