Crema's Take

This St. Louis spot is beloved for their fall-apart tender rib tips that locals can't stop raving about, with most customers praising the generous portions and smoky, well-seasoned barbecue that keeps them coming back. The vibe is genuinely welcoming and family-friendly, with King Prince Carter earning personal shout-outs for his hospitality and fair pricing—though consistency can be hit-or-miss depending on when you visit. It's the kind of place where one exceptional meal might give you leftovers for the next day, making it worth seeking out for authentic, no-frills St. Louis barbecue.

Im very very picky... but this is... Good barbeque... Smokey flavor and seasoned lightly so you can taste the smoke flavor... So far I've only tried the tips sandwich...but each order was very heavy in weight...

Tips were so tough I couldn't bite threw them. I tossed them out. I went early in day so maybe it was prior days meat. Heard so much about Kings but it was a let down and his prices need to "come down". Be more considerate of the pricing considering our people. Most in the area grab it for convenience bc they may not have the means to drive elsewhere. Then you got those who drive across town for it. So be reasonable as well as tasteful! Wasn't bad but could be better. Not a good visit perhaps for me.Therefore I'll be sticking with Bada Bings over in Wellston Mo.
