Ok folks, I’ve ate at numerous BBQ joints in my time, some famous and some not so famous but without a doubt there is only one that I would travel out of my way to visit. That one is Super Smokers BBQ in Eureka or St. Peters, MO.! To me there is no better pulled pork, chicken, beef brisket or ribs than at Super Smokers. Marinated with a custom made rub before it is placed in their Fast Eddy smokers made by Cookshack and smoked for hours on end in tasty apple wood!

What more could you ask for? Well, how about the choice of BBQ sauces (6 of them!) ranging from a mustardy Caroline sauce, sweet St. Louis, Kansas City, tangy Tennessee, spicy Texas and their own Championship sauce (I think I got all of those right!) placed in empty beer cartons for some atmosphere. All of which are worth the trying and believe me, you get plenty of food to try them all if you decide to! Portion sizes are well worth the money that is charged for this meal and couple it with the home-made applesauce and seasoned green beans (my favorite sides at Super Smokers) and you won’t be able to complain at all.
Now I mentioned atmosphere and Super Smokers is full of that! Once you walk into the restaurant you realize that you are not in some fancy smancy high brow place but instead in a quality eats place that focuses more on flavorful food than they do on “putting on the airs” quite often found in high dollar restaurants. You walk up to the cash register to order your food cafeteria-style after gazing at the array of foods listed on the menu wall (yep, the menu is hand written on the wall and you truly get hungry just reading the choices!). Once you order your food you get a number and find a seat, your food will be right out before you know it.

The walls are covered with an eclectic collection of memorabilia and writings on the wall (I still remember the first time we went to Super Smokers and they allowed the customers to write comments on the walls, a practice no longer allowed but they still have some remnants around the place). Pictures of what I assume are the 3 original founders of Super Smokers depicted in the famous “hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil” poses, witty sayings, and an assortment of other items decorate this rustic and interesting establishment. Enough so to feast the eyes as well as the belly in!
Jake and Kimberly
Couple that with friendly service from wait staff like Kimberly and the General Manager Jake who are friendly, outgoing and eager to ensure your visit there is fulfilling and memorable and you have the makings of a world class establishment fit to serve anyone from the locals to the White House (yes, they have even catered to the White House,
check it out!).
So, if you are anywhere near either St. Peters or Eureka, MO and are even a little bit hungry, I highly recommend stopping in and grabbing a rack of ribs or maybe one of the many sandwiches that are offered there. Definitely not only worth dropping in but also worth going back to on each visit down there. Being right outside of Six Flags surely can’t hurt either as it is the perfect place to enjoy a great meal after being slung around on the coasters all day long! This place goes on my favorite places to eat and travel 40 miles to do so list!
