Salt + Smoke BBQ

Salt + Smoke in St. Louis, Missouri is celebrated for its 16-hour slow-smoked brisket, crafted with a classic “low and slow” barbecue philosophy and post oak smoke. Founded in 2014 by Tom Schmidt and pitmaster Haley Riley, the restaurant quickly earned a reputation as a modern St. Louis barbecue powerhouse, combining traditional pit-smoking techniques with chef-driven precision. What began as a single smokehouse has grown into a local favorite across the Gateway City, known for its signature yellow awnings and deeply flavorful barbecue.

While honoring St. Louis barbecue traditions, Salt + Smoke also brings creativity to the table with inventive dishes like Burnt End Toasted Ravioli, a bold twist on a regional classic. Their tender, smoky brisket and signature barbecue flavors are shipped nationwide on Goldbelly.
