Smokee Mo's St. Louis Bbq

This place has something for carnivores and vegans alike. Stumbled upon BBQ in the midwest that has a full vegan menu in addition to their standard! There were so many options and everything we ordered was delicious! Would 100% come back if in the area again. One caveat is the vegan food must be ordered from the register, so that could cause a longer wait if the restaurant is really busy, but didn't take long for us.

We had an all around terrific experience here! All of the staff was super kind, the food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious! As a vegan I really appreciate having a menu with multiple different options. I recommend the jackfruit sandwich, the vegan ribs, and the seasoned fries! My boyfriend is not a vegan and was raving about the vegan food! The owner is wonderful and you can tell he really cares about his customers! We can’t wait to come back to support this business and try the other items on the vegan menu!

Randomly stumbled upon this place with my boyfriend and I was so excited to try vegan BBQ. I got the vegan BLT, mac and cheese, and fries. Everything was great, but the mac and cheese could use a bit more seasoning. It definitely wasn’t bad - it just didn’t have much flavor. I would suggest adding salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Other than that, it was amazing! They have a great outdoor seating area and an entire vegan menu. My boyfriend got a chicken wrap and fries. He said it was amazing and would love to go back! Great place for vegans and people who eat meat to both have something they’ll enjoy!

TLDR: Great, but wish my food didn’t have slimy lettuce in it Went here because they have a lot of options and especially ones that are highly rated. I thought everything was great, but noticed a few strings of slimy lettuce in my food. Wish they had just said “hey we are out” and that would’ve been just fine. Even in my own home I don’t eat lettuce when it goes gross like that.

This place is unique in having some of the absolute best meat dishes as well as an extensive and equally amazing vegan menu. My family is a mix of vegan, vegetarian, and omnivore. It’s often hard to find a good place to eat for everyone but Smokee MO’s checks everyone’s boxes. The food here is purely delicious. The owners and staff should be commended for bringing everyone together. No matter what kind of food you eat there is something delicious and satisfying for you.

Finding a fully vegan menu at a BBQ place in the Midwest is unhear of unless you go here! I was amazed to see this online, so I went in hopeful. Vegans have their own cashier, and all vegan items are cooked on separate grills and in separate fryers than the non-vegan items... so there's no cross-contamination. (The fries on the non-vegan line are fried in the same grease they fry their bacon.) I ordered the vegan ribz was pretty disappointed at the small portion. You get four "ribs", but they're very small and flat. The flavor and texture was decent but enhanced by adding the extra sauces they provide at the self-serve station near the register. I didn't really feel I got my money's worth, but at least it comes with two sides. The trick is knowing which sides to get (you get two with the ribz). The Spicy Sweet Corn is way too spicy and not very sweet. I'd rather just have regular corn. The cashew mac'n'cheese was pretty bland, so I wouldn't recommend that, either. (My daughter was excited to order it as her main choice but was quickly disappointed. It was basically cold by the time we got it, too.) I ordered the Spinach Salad w/vegan bacon, mushrooms, and Basil Vinaigrette, and that was probably my favorite. You get a free piece of cheezy garlic bread with the ribz, but it was mostly crusty/crisp and the cheese wasn't melty at all. So... if you get the ribz, get a side salad and an order of the vegan fries. My son ordered the Notaburger w/vegan cheese and bacon and thought it was delicious! He could only eat half of it, so I got the rest of it for leftovers the next night. Wonderful! And our bacon wasn't tough as another reviewer experienced. Again, he ordered the mac'n'(cashew)cheese as his side and was sadly disappointed. If you get the burger, order the fries! * The cashier told me that they used to offer a vegan potato salad that was "reeeeally good", so if that's on the menu when you go, give it a shot. Another sad point is that there were absolutely no vegan desserts to complete the meal. Desserts are what "seal the deal" on a good restaurant, and Smokee Mo's is lacking there for the vegans. We like sweets, too! Overall, I'd definitely recommend Smokee Mo's to any vegan forced to eat BBQ with relatives or co-workers. It's very hard to find any BBQ restaurant that offers more than just a salad or baked potato/fries for a vegan option.
