Adam's Smokehouse: Frequently Asked Questions
What should I order at Adam's Smokehouse?
Regulars point to Brisket, Smoked Salami, Ribs, and Smoked Turkey.
Is Adam's Smokehouse expensive?
Adam's Smokehouse is mid-range ($$).
What kind of barbecue does Adam's Smokehouse serve?
Adam's Smokehouse serves St. Louis barbecue. St. Louis barbecue is its own animal, built on the pork steak, the crispy pork snoot, and the St. Louis-cut spare rib, finished with a sweet, sticky, tomato-based sauce. The tradition leans closer to grilling and long backyard smokes than to the all-day pit cooking of Texas, and it carries a deep soul-food lineage on the city's North Side.
