Is Bogart's Smokehouse expensive?
Bogart's Smokehouse is mid-range ($$).
What kind of barbecue does Bogart's Smokehouse serve?
Bogart's Smokehouse serves St. Louis barbecue.

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.
