Smoki O's

At the last minute, I headed up North Grand in search of A & U only to find it closed. Swinging around to Broadway I headed south and found Smoki O's instead. Just north of the Jones Dome, you could smell the smoke from a block away and it smelled gooooood!

Clean & cozy, geared more towards carry-out, Smoki O's can boast of one of the friendliest staffs I've run into yet as well as good baked beans and the best, bar none, slaw I've had in St. Louis. Sadly, the rib tips were on the tough side. I'd be willing to give them a second chance, especially when we move downtown, but not in the running for 'Best of St. Louis'.
