Diner Reviews

"My family went here for lunch for the first time. I saw they had won awards in the St. Louis area, so I thought we would try it. The service was awful, they said they were understaffed that day. The waitress was rude and acted like she was being put out if you asked for something. Their BBQ was not very good at all, the seasonings covered up the taste of the BBQ ribs and brisket. Next time I'll go to Pappy's BBQ."

"Great barbeque! Also had a variety of choices for sides to go with it. Craft beer selections and a variety of mixed drinks as well. I will definitely think of this restaurant the next time I want some good barbeque/smoked meat."

"The food is good but too expensive. And beer shouldn't be served in a mason jar."

"The best BBQ I've tasted in a very long time.... The atmosphere and decor reminded me of Beale Street in Memphis! We went on a snowy night so it wasn't that busy, but the manager gave us a tour of the restaurant and the bar downstairs stairs has a great set up for live music. I can't wait to go back and here some of the local talent we have in the St. Louis area!"

"Disappointed in first dining experience at Hendricks BBQ. Fried green tomato appetizers were so tough it was hard to cut them with dinner knife. The brisket and pulled pork meat was good as well as the french fries and chicken strips. One person in our party ordered fried chicken waitress came back to say they were out of fried chicken but could have chicken strips. The ribs were far from tender, more on the tough chewy side. The potato salad and coleslaw had a funny tang to the taste. Could not put our finger on the taste but not pleasant. Have eaten greens many times but everyone that had the greens commented on the extreme bitter flavor. There were eight people in our party and everyone agreed the food was not good."

"From specialty drinks to the best Fried Chicken ever, Hendricks BBQ is the Bomb!"

"This was our first meal here. We went with another couple and we are very happy we tried it. The atmosphere was charming, the waiter was efficient and entertaining. The food and drinks were all very good. After dinner we went downstairs to the bar which was also very quaint. The only problem was that there were not nearly enough chairs/tables. They had a band (which was very good by the way) but we had no place to sit. We stood and watched the band for nearly an hour and left before we were ready because we were tired of standing. All in all, we'd definitely go back."

"We went here for a company lunch. Food is really good. I had the pick 2 with 2 sides. I thought it was pricey at $18. Pulled pork, brisket, cheesy grits, and bacon collard greens was my pick. I would recommend to a friend."

"Looking for convenient dining place before going to concert. Turned out the food was really good, and the waiter (Patrick) was absolutely fantastic! Great atmosphere- will definitely being going back whenever in the area. We will also request Patrick, but other staff was just as friendly and helpful."

"Went here with a group of 8 for lunch on a weekday. We were visiting the area and craving BBQ. Hendricks satisfied us all. Food was great and hot to the table. Service was quick, helpful, and friendly. Everyone was happy. They also cater to people needing gluten free items. No separate menu, but still plenty to choose from. Would definitely recommend."

"Even though it was a snowy day they were busy. However, by 6:30 they were out of turkey and cole slaw. Did not expect that."

"This is a true non-chain St. Charles gem. I always feel comfortable here whether seated a table with friends or at the bar. It doesn't hurt that I love their food, too. I'm a fan of the pulled-pork and creamed spinach. I just wish the creamed spinach was more consistent. The version where it's creamy and a little spicy is my favorite. I wasn't a fan of creamed spinach before I had Hendrick's version."

"We had a great time. The food was really tasty and presentation was excellent. We look forward to returning to have another great meal with friends and family. This atmosphere was enjoyable and so was the waiter , He was very attentive but not overwhelming. There were 6 people at our table and everyone had something different. We all agreed it was a place to come back to. They have entertainment but we were not able to stay. I hope to check that out next time. Also I made our reservations online on my cell phone while shopping nearby it was quick and easy."

"The venue is large enough for a large group but we were extremely disappointed. We had made a reservation and then called ahead regarding our large party. They reserved a section in the corner for us which we appreciated it. We made our reservation for a 3 PM in the afternoon in order to avoid taking up so many tables during a more busy time. When we got there, we found that there were three separate tables rather than one large table. They told us the tables were too heavy to move and that was the best they could do. The tables were not heavy so we moved them ourselves...4 times. Finally, after the fourth move, a staff member told us how to best fit the tables together. Why didn't they just do it that way in the first place?"

"I had the fried chicken which is 1/2 chicken serving portion. Excellent crust and flavor. Very good mashed potatoes and gravy too. They have a unique menu of cocktails as well."

"Food was good, but service was SOOO slow. It took over an hour between sitting down and receiving our food for LUNCH. Also, the prices are about 25% higher than the actual quality and quantity of food."

"We went to Hendricks BBQ for a birthday get-together and everything went really smoothly. We went in the afternoon, so it was not crowded and we were seated and served immediately. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food was flavorful and tender. The ambiance was soulful and homey. I would definitely recommend this place for groups and special occasions!"

"I've been to Pappy's restaurant several times within the last few years, I was advised through general conversation that Hendricks had very good barbecue, better than Pappy's. My wife has never been to Pappy's so I thought Hendricks would be a good try for both of us. After bragging to my wife that Hendricks would have great barbecue since the owner is previously a co owner of Pappy's , we were extremely disappointed with the full rack baby back ribs that we ordered, they were overcooked, very dry and hard to get the meat off the bones. We probably won't be back and will not recommend this restaurant to anyone. We did not finish our meal and felt obligated to pay since we had ordered and had it served."

"the waiter we had was very courteous and professional. didn't hurt either that he was eye candy/. thanks Hendricks good dining again."

"My family is from the south and the braised greens were like my mother's and grandfather's! I was as simply in love with the shrimp and grits. Great atmosphere and service. Love that everything is houysemade or from local community. I couldn't stop saying,"soooo good"! We will be back and bringing more people to experience this place!!!!!! Southern food and BBQ done amazingly!!!!"

"This was my first visit and will probably be the last. My husband ordered the brisket and pork. He thought both were dry. I ordered the turkey and brisket. The turkey was tasty and tender but the brisket was overly salty and smoky. The macaroni was covered in nauseatingly buttery crumbs. The cole slaw was fair. Unfortunately our waitress was new so the service was understandably poor. The best thing about this restaurant is its smoke free! We went to the related business downstairs, moonshine blues bar, afterward. They had a great blues band that night. The bartenders were talented at drink making, however their friendliness was a bit on the dry side. We will more than likely be back to see more bands...the bar is smoke free also!!!"

"This place has great BBQ plain and simple. Certainly contends for best ribs in the St. Louis metro area and worth the drive to old town St. Charles. My fav-- the baby backs!"
Dined on 10/13/2013
"Previous dinners have been great but this visit was bad. I think the kitchen was in a rush as several items were not fully cooked. Sadly the Shrimp in the shrimp and grits were not cooked properly. The dumplings needed more time. And three of the meals were incorrect, dressing requested on the side, side items missing or incorrect."
Dined on 10/6/2013
"I had the pulled pork sandwich as did 2 other people in our party. My husband had the ribs and brisket. We all enjoyed the food very much. The baked beans and the sweet potato casserole were also very good. A tasty meal! The waiter and his trainee were very nice and helpful. Great customer service."

"The food at Hendricks was extremely tasty, but our service was about the worst I've ever experienced. We were one of about 3 tables occupied in the restaurant, and it took 15 minutes before our server came by to take our drink order. This lack of service commenced throughout the visit, to the point of closing out our tab, at which point our server took our payment and, rather than walking 20 steps over to the computer to run our cards and spending 2 minutes to clear us out, promptly disappeared for yet ANOTHER 15-minute interval before bringing our receipts back to sign. I will probably give this place ONE more try, because the food was so delicious, but that will be the last time if the experience is similar to the initial visit."

"Decided to try Hendrick's (heard about it in the newspaper) and it was very good. Little bit loud with all the diners, but we all loved the sweet tea, bisquits, coleslaw, and pulled pork. Food came in good time, our server was super friendly and really made sure we had everything we needed. This is a very nice place to eat and I'm going to definately try it for lunch someday too."
Dined on 9/22/2013
"We had reservations for 7 and got right to our table. We had a new waiter who really did a pretty bang up job! All of the group but one (in from CA) had been to Hendricks many times. Our CA guest was very impressed. The food was excellent as always, the drinks were great! Post meal we went downstairs to the blues bar and had several "flights" of whiskey and scotch to sample. What a fun and original place. The bartenders were very educated and shared a lot of knowledge with us. Great night as usual."

"Food was very good, restaurant was VERY noisy and hard to hear conversation at our table."
