You know how the lines at the the post office and the DMV are really long and seem to move slower than humanly possible because they are the only game in town and they have no incentive to improve? That's kind of how Roper's Ribs is, except picture a room the size of a bedroom filled with hazy flavor-filled smoke...

Roper's Ribs are fantastic. We arrived a bit early and had to sit in a nearby parking lot until theyd, but we were glad to be the first inside. Denise Roper took our order. What a sweetheart. I felt like I was at home with mom. We ordered the StL ribs, but they only had the baby back ready....

I read the reviews and drove out to find the place, but when I saw it, I thought it must be a mistake and drove home. I was expecting a nice, sizeable restaurant with a dining room, but what I found looked quite different. When I returned home, I checked the reviews again, and decided to go back a few...

This is the real deal in really great barbeque. Went to Pappy's Smokehouse a couple of weeks ago in STL and was really unimpressed, but Ropers is the real deal. Without a doubt, the best pulled pork I have ever had. It wasn't shredded and soaked with vinegar sauce, but chunky and perfectly seasoned little bits of "pork candy." Everyone...

Finally, the ribs that top my home style pitting. I have tried ribs all over Saint Louis and in the Midwest. Sadly have not traveled down to Texas yet. However, Roper's Ribs tops anything I have ever had in my 21 years of craving, cooking, and consuming ribs. Roper's Ribs has to be the best barbecue in America. North, South...

My wife and I write a BBQ blog... www.barbecuedreams.blogspot.com. We've travel the country for business and seek BBQ wherever we go. This is certainly one of the top 20 places we've been for BBQ. We tried both the St Louis style and baby back ribs and found them both to be perfectly smoked, tender and delicious. They weren't quite as...

We recently ate at Roper's Ribs to compare it with another favorite in STL. I have to say that I was not that impressed. I am not a saucy barbecue person, but more prefer a good rub. We ordered the babyback ribs and pulled prok sandwich. I found the ribs were overpowered with sauce. It was a sweeter sauce that...

I'm in St. Louis visitng my brother. He takes my wife and I out for dinner Friday night.
He brings us to a small place with huge great smoked flavor, Ropers Ribs BBQ.
While waiting behind a few customers, we took note of a video with Steve Harvey, the comedian, that proclaimed Roper's Ribs as the best in the Nation....
