I love Egg, the breakfast version of this restaurant, but I finally decided to try their dinner half. Mexican barbecue isn't something you come across very often, and it makes for some unique menu options. The tacos have very generous portions of meats that are prepared quite well; they aren't garnished quite as well as the breakfast tacos are. They offer side dishes that you'd find at a barbecue joint, highlighted by some delicious cornbread. The ribs are pretty good, but nothing to compare to say Pappy's. Spare No Rib offers friendly service and overall good food. I'd recommend them for sure, but I'd encourage you to try Egg even more!

I have drove by this place several times, thought it was time to give them a try. Absolutely amazing food and service. We tried the ribs, sopes and street tacos. You cant go wrong. And the sides a great as well.

Cannot give this place enough stars. Food is amazing and drinks are great. Best tacos: rib and and carnitas. Fish tacos are pretty good too. Brisket is definitely not as good as the previously mentioned, but it's still a solid choice.
Melissa Ventura
The tacos are delicious. Next time I'm going to try the sopes

One of the best dining experiences I have had in a long time in Saint Louis. Great service, a personal touch from the owner and chef to come out and see how our meal was. The ribs were fall of the bone, the sauces were good and the sides tasty. I would highly recommend and return in the future! 4.8 out of 5 all the way.

my favorite BBQ place in all of Saint Louis! My boyfriend and I enjoy a meal here probably once a month. We wish we could go more, but we feel it is PRICEY. The food is excellent, but I think the reason there's no one there on a Friday night is because it costs us $60 to share an appetizer, each have a basic sandwich meal and a beer. The chips with 3 salsas is an excellent appetizer, but you should ask specifically for a green salsa they have in the back that they don't put as a part of the three. I didn't like the smokey salsa and asked for something different one day and IT'S SO AMAZING. It's a tomatillo salsa with avocado. Good service, but still a little pricey. I always get the BBQ chicken sandwich with avocado salsa and it's really great. My bf always gets tacos or the pulled pork sandwich and he loves that as well. Never leave hungry, that's for sure!! Definitely recommend.

Amazing tacos (fish is best) and ribs. Mac and cheese is creamier than most, so if that's not your thing you won't be impressed. The service separates Spare no Rib from all other BBQ restaurants; really all restaurants in general. I always go here when I'm visiting in St Louis and it's great being greeted by people who remember me from the last time I was there!
However I can't give it the full five stars because their open and close times seem to be really random (I've tried to go 1.5 hours before close to find it closed already) and they seem to have some staffing issues.

Nice focused menu. Excellent tacos with a variety of house made salsas. Ribs are very good. Everything is made fresh and comes out hot. At least one of the owners is usually around. The sampler plate with ribs and tacos is excellent.
Alexandra Mills
The tacos and BBQ were delicious. We also enjoyed the Mac n cheese. The drinks were delightful and cheap!! The service was great and the atmosphere is modern yet homey and inviting. We will definitely go back!

This is actually for the location on Maryland Plaza, but they don't show up in Maps yet. That said:
For what you pay, this place is fantastic. I was skeptical about mixing tacos and barbecue, but I was very pleased with the result. My only quibble, and it's small, is I don't like having my salsa for my taco chosen for me. Put them off to the side and let me choose. The quality is high though, and the flavor is excellent. I will return if in STL again.

Best dining experience in St Louis! The BBQ was so juicy, all the sides were made fresh and the gooey butter cake is awesome. The waitress was really sweet, and the owner brought out a free sample of carnitas for us (very tender, they tasted great.)
Cory Watkins
Really underrated, even with all the good reviews. They are called Spare No Rib, but they also happen to have some of the best tacos in St. Louis. They even have a rib taco, and it's delicious. My personal favorite here is the veggie taco though, it's just perfect for me.
Kristen Bushko
I am in love with Spare no rib, and because of this, I am willing to overlook a few flaws. Service ranges from spotty to stellar, and they are frequently out of various meats - but they serve great tacos and drinks, and, well. I love them. If you're feeling indulgent, follow the advice of a former bartender - order the chicken chorizo melt sandwich sans bun over fries.
Katie Evans
This place was amazing -- so glad our group decided to stop here for lunch on the way through town. MC & Lasad personally made our lunch enjoyable & delicious -- we felt so cared for & celebrated. Tacos were incredible. Highly recommend the chips with smoked vegetable dip!
Rebecca Huggins
The food was excellent, wait staff was great,the owner was friendly and funny, would go back next time in town
Nick purciful
Just a fantastic experience. Staff was awesome and super friendly. I always get paranoid taking the kids out to eat but they treated my kids like part of the family.
Loved the rib taco. Should have got more
Robin Lancaster
Ambiance is palpable, food is exquisite, and the wait staff is absolutely wonderful. Our waiter went out of his way to satisfy us, and was receptive and kind all the way through the meal. If you have even a vague idea that you might enjoy this place's unique blend of authentic mexican food and St. Louis style barbeque, you owe it to yourself to shell out that bit of extra money to experience it.

We headed to Spare No Rib to try Mexican food and ribs around 11:30 on Saturday but when we got there they were serving breakfast under Egg, not Spare No Rib. We were not in a breakfast food mood (had driven from O'Fallon, MO) we prepared to leave and go to Cherokee Street when we were stopped by this super nice, super friendly guy asking why were leaving. When we told him why he said the dinner menu was later 3:30? We said thank you but we lived too far to come back. He asked us to sit down, brought out a dinner menu, and created the meal we wanted plus brought a special plate of things to try. Are you kidding me? We are now in LOVE with this place... one of the best taco carnita's I have ever had... delicious ribs. GREAT service and caring makes the food taste even better!!!! LOVE THIS PLACE!

All four of us agreed THE best lunch experience we've had! We had mac, 3 salsas which were each different and delicious in very different ways. The fish & rib tacos were a home run, great service and the owner was so kind. Such a chill vibe there & we look forward to many more trips back to this hidden gem.

We were recording at Shock City studios in the same building as Spare no Rib. First of all we were greeted by the owner(we didn't know at that point) he helped us order, gave us a sample of a porter he had on tap, and gave us a taste of his chips and salsa and their famous ribs. The salsa was literally the best I have ever had. Needless to say I have not felt such hospitality in a long long time! The food was fantastic! We're going back for dinner and I will be sure to tell anybody that will listen to me that the place exists and has the best food and hospitality in STL!
Joe Duvieilh
Absolutely amazing!! The food, the drinks, the atmosphere and most importantly the people exceeded any expectations I could have dreamed of! The margarita and Mexican Mule were on point! Great selection of craft beers! The ribs were some of the best I have ever had! We had a variety of tacos and each were amazing! The next time we are in town we will definitely be back! You will not be disappointed!!
Zack Embery
Man! This place was so great. Tacos were perfect. Fries were delicious. Mac N Cheese was on point. Salsa was tasty.
Staff was friendly and helpful, this place is a gem.
Brad Alan
What's kickass little BBQ/taco joint! I still think about the rib taco and the chorizo sopes... and all three salsas were ������. The little man may have eaten a pound of cornbread... and asked for more.
And the service was above and beyond. Thanks for taking such good care of our party of seven last Sunday evening. We'll definitely be back!
Carey Bohman
This place is a must! The food is amazing and the staff was friendly and fun! The homemade sauces were spectacular!
Patrick Herron
Great place for food, amazingly great taste, fresh ingredients, kind and courteous people I will put this place on the regular dining list
Lindsey Spratt
Excellent beef cheek tacos. The meat was prepared well, and had great flavor and texture. Super nice guy running the place, and I enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. Better food than the other taco places I've been to in the Stl.
Dana Alberto
We had dinner here last night and were a little disappointed in the ribs. They were dry as can be. The sides were good as was he margarita. We would come back, but not for the ribs.
Abigail Underwood
This is by far my favorite restaurant in St. Louis. I've never had a bad meal here, the staff is wonderful, and the guacamole is to die for! Can't wait to go back.
Staci Stift
Cute place, staff was nice. Ribs were over done and really dry. Carnitas tacos were bland. Corn bread was decent, sweet corn was meh and the coleslaw was pretty bland as well. I never got the margarita I ordered and we had to ask for the coke that was ordered when we sat down. Maybe they working out the kinks. I might try again if friends were meeting here, but probably won't come back on y own.
Sam Maul
Spare No Rib serves outstanding food and drinks at a fair price. The owner and small group of dedicated staff are attentive and friendly. A great place to go for brunch, lunch, dinner and/or drinks.
Anthony Tinder Jr.
nevermind the fall off the bone ribs, or the well thought out drink selection. The owner was very charismatic and welcoming throughout my visit. He was very eager to have us try different brews and samplers of food throughout the night and really made this one of the best meals I've had in a long while!
Brian McClelland
Excellent food (we loved the pulled pork and chicken bbq sandwiches and fries) with a very friendly and attentive staff. Will def be back!
Katie Tulk
Drinks and menu are top notch! Anywhere I can get authentic tacos with homemade french fries and amazing drinks you can guarantee I'll be back! Always a friendly and service oriented atmosphere. You'll wish you could buy their salsas and BBQ sauces to take home ❤❤❤
Kevin Grier
Entire menu is the bee's Knees! Highly recommend this place. Laid back atmosphere.
Joey N Laura
