THE BEST THERE IS!!!!

by sassyjk

Last year and this year we went on an RV road trip just to eat at BBQ places and find the best....last year Ropers was by far the best and this years trip we had to go back and its still the best even after trying a bunch of new places. Some places weve been: LC's (St. Louis) excellent!!, Rondevou (Memphis) excellent sausage and fun, Neeleys (Memphis) very good, Corkeys (Nashville) only thing I liked was the fried pickle, Arthur Bryants (Kansas City) not good to sweet, many others not mentionable. I would have never passed by this place and thought I needed to try it because its small and dingy but WELL WORTH IT. YOU HAVE TO GET IT...I cant stress it enough. Everything from catfish to st. louis style bbq ribs has been excellent, sides are ok but still good.

• Pros: BBQ, Shrimp, Catfish, BBQ, BBQ BBQ!!
• Cons: No dine in and small waiting area

Artisan ribs

by deanfrommn

I live iin Minneapolis and commute to St Louis. The trips can get tedious but one thing I always look forward to is Carl's ribs and Denise' cheerful smile. There are no better ribs, anywhere!!!! And the Ropers take pride in what they are do, a rare thing now days.

We had come to St. Louis for a Rams game, and wanted the best St. Louis style ribs in the area. I read the previos reviews, and they were all true. The best ribs i have ever had. I used to work for a Famous Daves and had thought that those ribs couldn't be beat. Boy was i wrong, not only were they beat, they embarrased. Mr. and Mrs. Roper have a great product and terrific hospitality to boot. Thought i would suggest getting take out if you wanted the kids to enjoy with you, for that part of town isn't one that you want to bring the family out for a nice night out. All in all, Ropers Ribs was the best tasting BBQ that i have ever had and i would recommend it to anyone and everyone. And if you are reading this Mrs. Roper, thanks for the Sud's, and letting us use the bathroom.
