About Kirkwood

Oh, hey! Welcome to Salt + Smoke Kirkwood

Your new neighborhood BBQ spot right next to the train tracks on South Kirkwood Road. Find us by our yellow awnings and the irresistible smell of slow-smoked BBQ wafting through downtown Kirkwood. We’re serving the same award-winning BBQ that has made Salt + Smoke a St. Louis institution: oak-smoked brisket, cherry wood St. Louis-style ribs, smoked wings, pulled pork, and all the homemade sides your heart desires, all made fresh daily right here in Kirkwood, MO.

During the warmer months, grab a seat on our patio (complete with a fire pit for those cooler evenings) and enjoy your BBQ with some fresh air and good company. Year-round, our dining room is warm, welcoming, and ready for you and your besties.

Every Monday through Friday from 3–6pm, join us for Happy Hour with discounted food and drink specials plus our exclusive Happy Hour BBQ quesadilla.

Join our waitlist (opens in a new tab) or reserve a table (opens in a new tab) before you head our way to make sure you get your BBQ fix. Street parking and lots are available throughout downtown Kirkwood.
