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.
