The ribs were RIB JERKY, hardly any meat on them, but maybe it had shrunk as they were drying them for jerky. Horrible potato salad. Supposed to have Texas toast. Got home - none. We feel like we threw away our money.

The staff was very efficient and friendly, and the food was excellent. The smoked chicken was probably the best I've ever had, while the brisket was very flavorful if a little dry for my tastes. A sampling of their excellent sauces took care of that problem. The cheesy potatoes are to die for, essentially a hash brown version of a cross between scalloped and au gratin. My dining companion said the St. Louis style ribs were very good. We had a great chat with the owner, whose daughter attended school up near where we live.

Was in town for work and received a recommendation for SuperSmokers. It was great! The brisket and pulled pork were tender, juicy and seasoned well. I was sad they were out of ribs when I got there. I would definitely come back again next time I m in town.

Super Smokers was much better before they shut down and then reopened. The place in O'Fallon, IL wasn't fancy, but was much better than the 'BBQ shack' type of place the one in Eureka is.

I still love the food, although the ribs can be hit and miss. Sometimes they are perfect, other times they are too dry/burned.

I grew up in a family where BBQ = 'dad burned the pork steaks so he just doused them in cheap sauce' so when I first tried Super Smokers I was blown away. I just wish they would have been able to stick to how things used to be done.

*ON A SIDE NOTE* Be careful when you go there if you have a gift card of something like if you spend $50 you get $10 off because the guy at the register likes to add on a 15% tip so he can pocket more money. You order at the counter and get your own refils - exactly what did the person who brought my food to me do to deserve 15%?

I don t see the hype. The meat was okay and the sauce was Saint Louis style which I liked, mac n cheese was meh. My kid s chicken wings were nothing special. I didn t feel it was worth the price whatsoever. I ve had better bbq at the same prices.

What I did like, was the service and the building was cool.

Stopped here while traveling from Ft Leonard Wood to the STL airport. Absolutely delicious food!! I was very pleased with the efforts made regarding infection control and social distancing in the times of the pandemic. Staff was very friendly. This place is on our list to go back to!

The new ownership has really breathed a new life into this place. The BBQ is once again good and they have all kinds of interesting new side dishes. Really like the brisket, ribs and the creamed corn is probably the best side I've tried.

I have learned a lot about BBQ over the past few years from Terry Black, founder of Super Smokers BBQ and considered by many to be the Godfather of St. Louis BBQ and consider the new owner Jeff Fitter one of my closest friends. I have eaten a lot of each of their BBQ over the years, but always wondered how that would transition for Jeff in to to cooking for the masses in a restaurant.

Well, my first visit to SuperSmokers certainly will not be my last. I ordered the BBQ Nachos, a side of burnt ends, as well as a side of home made mac and cheese and I have to tell you that they were each excellent.

The BBQ nachos have been a Super Smoker BBQ staple for years, but the brisket in this nachos really seemed to pack a punch and gave the nachos an added kick that was eventually mellowed by the sweetness of the beans. It was the perfect storm of BBQ goodness.

The burnt ends were a bit of a surprise, having not always been on the menu in the past, but they are a staple currently. They were like little cubes of flavored meat candy in your mouth. They were so good, chewing was optional, as they melted when you put them in your mouth.

Which leaves me to the mac and cheese. This isn't your standard Velveeta Kraft mac and cheese, this is a homemade baked mach and cheese with the right blend of crispy noodles and browned cheese from being baked just right. This is a newer addition to the menu, and one I was familiar with from Phatso's BBQ catering days. It offered the perfect side for the burnt ends......now if we could just get some of the brisket diced up in the mac and cheese.....that would be money.

All in all, such a great experience to see Jeff pick up the torch that Terry carried so well over the years. I can't wait to see Jeff put his own touches on the restaurant in the months to come and am already looking forward to coming back and trying the ribs.
