Why It Stands Out

Open since 1963, C&K is the definitive keeper of the St. Louis snoot tradition — crispy pork snoots and rib tips under the sweet, sticky 'Super' sauce that defines the local style.

C&K Barbecue — Frequently Asked Questions

What should I order at C&K Barbecue?

Regulars point to Crispy Pork Snoots, Snoot Sandwich, Rib Tips, and Smoked Sausage.

Is C&K Barbecue expensive?

C&K Barbecue is budget-friendly ($).

What kind of barbecue does C&K Barbecue serve?

C&K Barbecue 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.
