"Hendrick’s is home to the best brisket I’ve tasted in some time (sorry, Mom!). Tender, thin-cut and far from dried-out, this Angus brisket has a black-pepper kick and plenty of smoke."

George Mahe

"It’s a feast for the eyes, ears, and palate: a rustic roadhouse vibe upstairs, a blues bar downstairs, a massive patio over the Katy Trail, and exceptional ’cue. First timers should opt for a combo, our favorite trio being a hearty plate of tender beef brisket, decadent ribbons of pulled pork and oh-so-moist turkey."

Byron Kerman

"The standouts here are ribs with a stellar smoke-and-rub flavor, creamy mac and cheese, and baked beans suffused with smoked meat."

Kathy Deters

"For hungry diners who prefer to enjoy their barbecue in a comfortable, sit-down restaurant, Hendrick's BBQ delivers. Located in Historic St. Charles, Hendrick's atmosphere is as tantalizing as its menu."

Tere Scott

"Taste what award-winning BBQ from the St. Charles side of the city is like. From the Best of Mid Rivers to the Open Table Diner’s Choice, this place is ready to give you a delicious taste that you will come back for again and again."

Justin Bolois

"The dry rub spare ribs here are top-notch. Hendrick’s is a restaurant that a lot of people go to for the burgers, but don’t miss out on the barbecue."

Barbara E. Stefàno

"Customers will wait up to two hours for a table on any given Saturday evening to get their fingers on the St. Charles eatery’s popular pepper-crusted smoked brisket, and they’ll always make room for fixin’s like collard greens, baked beans with bacon and creamy mac 'n' cheese."

Riverfront Times

"Barbecue, smoked over apple and hickory wood, includes baby-back and St. Louis-cut spare ribs, beef brisket, pulled pork, turkey and sausage. If you like sauce, Hendricks' "STL" is your best bet: complex, with just a little heat."
