Salt & Smoke Catering

ding. Anna was very responsive to any questions we had and their team was professional. They even packed up any leftover food that was there so we could take it home. My fiancé was very happy about that. This place has quickly became our new favorite restaurant along with many new customers after our wedding.

experience ! Kha and Angel

it more of a casual vibe which is exactly what we were going for. The way the food was presented was lovely and it looked very high-end for BBQ! The service staff did an awesome job all throughout the night; they kept tables clear of empty plates/drinks but stayed out of our guests way which we also very much appreciated. We used Salt & Smoke bartenders as well who kept our guests happy all throughout the cocktail hour and the reception. The catering managers we worked with in planning our wedding were very responsive and continued to work with us as we needed to make changes over the year leading up to the wedding. I would highly, highly recommend booking Salt & Smoke Catering for your wedding or any other big event, they are a wonderful team to work with and the quality and flavor of the food will leave your guests talking about your event for weeks after.

ing us decide on the menu. They were very responsive and made it a stress free process. PS get the smoked mac n cheese if you decide to go with salt + smoke. You won’t regret it.

and nice... great team! She is so easy to work with and plans a yummy meal.

Salt & Smoke displayed it was elegant and worked well with our venue. At the end of the day, good food speaks for itself. I also appreciated that they had such amazing options for our vegetarian and vegan guests. One of my friends commented that it was the best wedding vegan food she had ever had and appreciated that she wasn't simply offered a salad. I should also add that the catering staff who was there the night of our event were excellent. They were friendly, thoughtful, and kind. It really helped to make our celebration even more of a family event. When pricing out other catering options, Salt & Smoke was by far the most cost effective. I also liked that they allowed you to do a full sampling of the menu (even sent us home with leftovers) BEFORE we signed a contract. It felt honest, and you could tell they stand behind their food.

at good!! Most people got two servings though. It was jus the best, so full of flavor and the staff was so respectable and polite. I couldn’t have asked for better food or service!!

ve never been disappointed or left hungry!

e sure to celebrate anniversaries at this amazing restaurant!

s left at the bridal table when we got back from photos! Burnt end toasted ravioli and deviled eggs were our choice!

ond to each request. She happily tailored their services to our needs (cutting down the amount of time that our servers were to stay) and allowing me to pick up the plates we were renting early, so that I could set them out on the tables when we set up the hall. The servers at the venue could not have been more helpful or more efficient. They set the food out in minutes. I was worried that "tear down" of the food table would take too long and delay the dancing (shared space), and they did it so fast, I didn't even see it happening. Even though we were not having them cut the cake, the servers kindly showed my sisters HOW to cut it and provided oversight the whole time. I am not sure, but I think one of them ran to the store when the venue ran out of red wine (there was only one bartender at our small event)! They truly went above and beyond in every detail. The food was, of course, absolutely delicious. We had the brisket, pulled pork, macaroni and cheese, potato salad, and green salad. I would use them again and again!

d. On the day of, they were so friendly answered any questions we had. Paige was one of the staff that worked our wedding and she was amazing!! Thank you to Salt + Smoke for delivering such wonderful food for our wedding!

fect. Communication with Amy was always prompt and professional. She helped us make our final decisions and answered all of our questions with a smile at our tasting (which was very private and special). On the wedding day, the team executed the event without a hitch. They even went to the extent to make sure my grandparents who couldn’t walk outside got a separate plate of appetizers, wow! Having BBQ at our wedding was so perfect and classy. It was clean, easy to eat and they provided anything you needed with excellent service. My guests are still talking about how good the food was 2 months later! If you’re considering Salt and Smoke for your wedding you won’t go wrong, go with them!!

. Night of the rehearsal the meal was delivered without any plates/napkins/utensils (paid extra to have these included with out meal) for our guests to enjoy the meal. One of our guests had to leave the celebration to run and purchase plates, napkins and eating utensils. Not a huge deal but, more of an inconvenience that held up dinner service. After the wedding weekend celebrations came to a close, I called Brooke to explain - she was extremely rude telling me she had put it on the paperwork but, her staff didn't bring it so, "not her fault", then asked "what I wanted her to do about it?". I asked her what they normally do in this situation and she told me she would need to speak with her manager, and get back to me the following week when he returned from vacation. I waited 2 weeks before calling again. When I called back she said "her manager didn't want to do anything about the situation so, that is why she never called back". I understand COVID has significantly effected and altered the restaurant/hospitality industry however, working in the wedding industry myself - this is NOT how a customer should be treated after an incident of no fault of their own. In the end, Brooke did end up reaching back out and apologizing for the mix-up. She did end up waiving the charge for disposables, she also gave us a gift card to use towards our next trip to Salt and Smoke.

also had a large selection of table linen rentals that were very affordable.

s as we encountered change after change and was very relaxed the whole time. Our only complaint is that the vegetarian entrees got lost in translation and not find their way to the reception, but overall a pretty perfect day.

be happier with the choice we made in choosing Salt & Smoke as our caterer. The staff was exceptional! Anna was great to work with, even when I was on edge the week before my wedding. I highly recommend S + S for your catering needs. Exceptional service and food!

to contact via email or phone for answering any questions regarding food, cost, etc. We had Anna and team for the event and everything was beautifully set up, served, and cleaned up. Anna checked with me throughout the night to make sure everything was great, which it was! We were in good hands! Our guests and we were so pleased with the food. From the ribs to the mac and cheese, everything was hot, ready and of course delicious. People are still talking about what great Event food we had. I highly recommend them, you will not be disappointed to have Salt and Smoke cater your event. Thank you for making my uncle’s birthday memorable! Everyone was so gracious and accommodating.

get in touch with whenever we had any questions or concerns. On our wedding day, we really appreciated that the staff arrived exactly when they said they would. They were very accommodating to our specific needs, and a pleasure to work with! Everything was done with great efficiency and the attitude of the entire staff was very positive. The food was EXCELLENT on top of being affordable! We highly recommend :).

. I highly recommend S+S for anyone looking to cater an event or just to stop in for dinner at one of their locations. It’s become a tradition for our new family we plan on sticking to for years to come.

tion. Our guests continue to rave about how delicious the food was, and our out of town guests have requested a stop at Salt + Smoke during their next visit.

are still working through leftovers and loving it.

t we had missed during our cocktail hour. The food presentation was terrific, they worked well with our venue, and I simply cannot describe how delicious it was. Thank you, Salt + Smoke!!!

t + Smoke, having been their multiple times and enjoying their food at various events throughout St. Louis. It was a no brainer! To top it off, planning the menu and getting everything organized for the day of was SO extremely easy with them. They had previously catered several weddings and events at our venue, so they were familiar with the process. We were able to make changes on the menu up to 2 weeks out, and they even accommodated the last minute changes needed for vegans coming to our wedding. All of our guests went on and on about how delicious the food was and that it was the best wedding dinner they've ever had! We were so happy we had leftovers to enjoy for the following weeks to come. We can't thank Amy and her team enough for making our day so special!

from day one until the big day. I have to mention that not only was the service better, but the pricing was a lot better than the others also. They offer amazing service and communication. Meeting with Ben at Salt + Smoke to go over the contract and to sample the food was simply our favorite part of wedding planning!!! Now more about the food... it was amazing. We had numerous guests come up to us and tell us that was the best food they have ever had at a wedding (we agree with them)!! The style of food was just right for us and they also were very accommodating with vegan options for some of our loved ones. They helped make our night perfect!

icious the food was! Very easy to communicate with. Go with Salt & Smoke - you won't regret it!!

even tell you how many people thought the food was the best barbecue they’d had. Not to mention, the staff and everyone helping out with serving everyone was top notch. It truly was an amazing night! Watch out for guests who are definitely going to call you begging you to send some Salt and Smoke Mac and cheese their way after the wedding! 😉

ence for their wedding!

event, Ben made sure everything was absolutely perfect! He was incredibly kind & flexible working with us on everything from our budget in the very beginning, to the extra linens we needed to order as we approached our event date. The food was so delicious, we have received many compliments from our guests. In addition, the servers for our event could not have been more kind or professional. We recommend Salt + Smoke any chance we can, they will not disappoint!

both out of this world! We received tons of compliments from our guests on the food. It was a real crowd pleaser. It was also a great experience working with Anna. She was professional, responsive, and really worked with us through the whole process. We did our rentals through Salt + Smoke and so they had to deal with many frantic last minute emails from me. Anna was kind and unflappable. The day of the wedding was a whirlwind, but we know that Anna and her crew were silently solving problems in the background, one of which was not having enough ice (our responsibility, not theirs, since we ordered our own wine and beer). I don't know how it was solved, but they took care of it and we didn't have to worry about it! Overall, we couldn't have asked for any better! Delicious food and above-and-beyond service! Thank you, Anna! We plan on eating Salt + Smoke whenever we come back to St. Louis as well as recommending it to all of our friends. :)

ntastic. People are still talking about it. There was plenty to go around. I can’t say enough about the quality of the food and the staff who helped put this beautiful event together. We recommend Salt and Smoke wholeheartedly. Thank you.

and bar were also fantastic! Ben was also great to work with and was prompt and always on top of things- honestly one of the best vendors I worked with the whole wedding! If I ever need catering in the future I definitely would not hesitate to use you guys again!

dable for a bride on a budget (aka me), there were options for dietary restrictions (we had people at my wedding who are vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free), and they were a pleasure to work with. When you do your initial tasting, you can literally try everything they offer as an option, which was so nice because I wasn't left wondering if I made the wrong decision. We tried every item, and picked what we liked. We ended up going with 3 meats + 3 sides (brisket, smoked wings, pulled pork, mac 'n cheese, salad, and pit beans). Sauces and rolls are included, and then we added on a few falafel bites for our vegetarian guests. Salt + Smoke took care of the dish-ware rentals, staffing the event, the menu sign...you can even rent linens through them and have them set up your desserts. I highly recommend Salt + Smoke!

ompliment the food. More guests than I can count let us know it was the best wedding dinner they’ve ever had.

ht people will remember!

esome the food was! Numerous people stated that it was the best wedding food they ever had. All of the staff was great and Ben did everything he could to meet our expectations. Can’t say enough good things about the entire process. I can’t wait for another event where we can work with Salt and Smoke.

rful atmosphere addition to our wedding and we couldn't have asked for anything more. We will definitely use and suggest them for any catering services in the future.

cluded finding a venue and a caterer! Salt and Smoke, known for its excellent food, was the caterer that we were fortunate enough to get to work with us. They not only were able to adapt to the changes that a one-month wedding required, but they were able to be the one contact we needed for food, rental needs, and staff. I cannot stress too much how gracious and lovely Anna was to work with. The staff that came to work our event were efficient, professional, and attentive to the needs of our guests. The food was delicious, and the portions were most generous. In fact, before the rest of the reception continued, our daughter and her new husband, along with the photographer, were able to fill 56 styrofoam boxes with leftovers for the homeless, delivered by the photographer that evening. So our meal for 75 actually reached 131 people. Our experience with Salt and Smoke was delightful, and actually calming at a very stressful time! They knew what they were doing, and did it well :) We feel very fortunate that we could work with them!

My guests are still raving about how our wedding food was the best they had every had.

es, etc the day of. Working with Ben was EASY - we personally like and enjoy him so much that planning with him felt like planning with a friend. Our family and friends loved our wedding, but they REALLY loved the food - thanks Ben and Salt & Smoke.

ur wedding was three weeks ago! Ben was helpful and professional. He is so easy to work with and answered all of our questions quickly and accurately during the planning phase. Coordinating the catering was probably the easiest part in our planning process. And Collie, the man running the show at our reception, blew us away! He "invited" the head table up to get dinner when they were ready; which, after all of the planning and prepping up until that day, made us feel so special and relaxed. We felt a weight come off our shoulders and could just enjoy our dinner and know everything was going to be taken care of--WE were going to be taken care of! He also talked to the guests and made sure they had everything they needed--just above and beyond what we thought he was "expected" to do. We're so happy you all were a part of our special day!

e great too they helped clean up plates and even help put up the buffet table. I would definitely use them again and I'm so glad they are an actual restaurant to where I can always go and eat their food! Ben was also very helpful over email answering all my questions and making the process easy.

really easy to work with and returns phone calls pretty quickly. The only downside was that we were hoping to have leftovers to take home, but that didn't happen. Other than that, A+.

menting how great it was. We can’t thank Ben and his team enough for all their hard work. We have and will continue to recommend Salt & Smoke to anyone looking for a great caterer!

y enjoyed the food at our wedding. Highly recommend!!!

ter saying they are craving their mac n cheese. Ben at Salt + Smoke Catering exceeded my expectations and provided the best possible service I could've ever hoped for our wedding guests. The morning of our wedding called for 6-8 inches of rain, which pushed our outdoor ceremony inside, and typical Missouri weather decided to give us a very light mist that day, not even raining at all! Although most would complain and argue of change of events and timeline beyond our control, Ben and his team were literal MVPs when it came to flipping the room from a lush ceremony, to whopping 280 person seated reception. It's not about the money or nickel and dime-ing customers at Salt + Smoke — the team literally made our wedding dreams come true in more ways then one. They helped the florist, wedding coordinator, and event guests figure out the game plan to flip the room quickly and safely, they served amazing appetizers to keep guests entertained, and made clean-up and take down a breeze with everyone leaving with smiles on their faces and yummy food in their bellies. I've said it before a million times and I'll say it again, a "Thank you" doesn't do it justice and having Salt + Smoke Catering at our wedding was an absolute honor that we (or our guests) will ever forget!

crificing on food quality whatsoever. Also, not every good restaurant makes for a good caterer and they are both!

with them. Ben and the rest of their team were wonderful. They were responsive, clear and always helpful. They not only handled the food, but they also handled the linen and flatware rentals for us. That eliminated another vendor we would have been forced to work with. Most importantly though, the food was great. Even for weddings that have food from a restaurant, it's difficult to keep it fresh. Not an issue here. A number of guests told us it was the best wedding food they have ever had. Finally, the day of we didn't have to worry about them at all. They did what they said they were going to do with no issues. That's not always the case with vendors. If you couldn't tell already, I would highly recommend them. They were great.

s always easy to contact. Myself and my guest were blown away by the food and the staff the day of the wedding as well. They were well staffed and my guest didn't have to wait long at all for drinks at the bar. Did I mention the food was AMAZING!?!

work with. They provided our wedding guests with the best BBQ you can get in St. Louis!

with and went above and beyond to make all of our requests happen ( even having a vegan meal for two of my family members!! ) We had our meal served family style and it was awesome. The sauces were all out on the table and the food was served right after dinner! The bar was fully stocked all night and the bartenders and servers all had great customer service! I would absolutely recommend Salt and Smoke!!

edding food by so many guests. It was something fun and different that people actually like eating. I enjoy the traditional wedding style chicken, but lets be honest... prime brisket, smoked chicken, white cheddar cracker mac, caesar salad and creamed corn sound way better! My favorite part of Salt & Smoke is how it feels a bit refined, but not too much. In the end it's just really tasty! I also want to compliment our main catering contact Ben. I have not planned a big event before so I would email him and constantly be changing things. He was always nice, helpful and professional. Thank you Ben and Salt & Smoke for the delicious meal for us and our guests!

e staff, who did an amazing job from set up to clean up. All of the above just really topped off the day for us. Jennifer & I truly appreciate everything and can't wait to stop by again to the restaurant as husband & wife.

rving was unique at a wedding but the ribs and brisket made me a hero. They are still talking about it. The professional service and fabulous sides just icing on the cake they served. Grateful, mother of bride.

ful and just easy to work with--and the food was exactly what we've come to expect from Salt and Smoke--delicious, inspired bbq!

ey even set out my coozies for the guests and my pretzels from a different company! I couldn't have asked for more!! I will use them every time I get the chance! 5 starts all the way!!

s about the food and reception, it could not have been a better choice!

The server at our event brought a speaker and music, which was a great addition to our event that we did not think about. Our server was super nice, and went above and beyond to make the day great!

nd went the extra mile to accommodate our requests leading up to the event. Collie (our server at the reception) was AMAZING! He was so personable and willing to help with anything, regardless of whether it was related to the food and drink area or not. He received almost as many compliments from guests as the food!

our contact and was professional, quick to respond and took care of all the details we asked of them. I never even talked to any of the staff the day of the wedding, which was great - they just handled everything on their own and it was perfect!

ere tender, the brisket was juicy, and the Mac and Cheese is what dreams are made of. Months after our wedding, people are still telling us that it's the best wedding food they've ever had. Ben was so easy to communicate with and the staff was friendly. If you want BBQ at your wedding, Salt+Smoke is the way to go.

e definitely wanted something different from the standard, quantity-over-quality food that is served at many weddings and we knew from our experience at the restaurant that the food would be top-notch. Our guests loved it (especially the brisket and Mac and cheese) and many said it was the best wedding food they ever had. They were also willing to work with us to have some good vegan options which was really important to me! Throughout the entire planning process the catering manager, Ben, was always quick to respond via email anytime we had a question about anything. We were also impressed by how affordable it all was, especially considering the quality of food and service that is provided. I highly recommend!
