Salt and smoke catered our wedding and was great. Everyone raved about the food and we had leftovers that my husband and I enjoyed so much. The catering staff put everything together seamlessly, as the bride I didn’t once feel like there was any disruption to the flow of events with set up or moving things for the buffet. We enjoyed our salt and smoke experience so much that it has now made an appearance at our thanksgiving meal this year!!

We had S+S cater our wedding last Friday and we could not have asked for a better experience. The food was amazing and 5 days later we’re still getting compliments on it. The staff was incredibly kind and professional, and I would hire them to cater again in a heartbeat! 10/10

Salt + smoke were the perfect wedding caterers! They were great to work with leading up to the wedding, and we loved that they took care of all the rentals and everything needed related to the buffet. It was a one-stop-shop for catering, and made our lives so easy! We had a buffet, and salt+smoke was really efficient at dismissing tables, managing the buffet, etc. And, most importantly, the food was amazing! Our guests loved the brisket and Mac + cheese especially. It was so fun to have a bit of St. Louis bbq at the wedding, and offer something a little different from your typical wedding food. Thank you Salt + Smoke!

I’m happy to share our wonderful experience with Salt + Smoke, our wedding caterer. From the very beginning, they impressed us with their exceptional service and delicious offerings.
Our tasting went smoothly and was a fantastic experience. The team at Salt + Smoke was incredibly attentive, listening to our thoughts and preferences to create a catering plan that perfectly suited our needs. Their willingness to adapt and tailor their offerings was greatly appreciated.
On the wedding day, their professionalism continued to shine. Someone arrived early to set up all the tablecloths, and we were thrilled with the variety of napkin options available to us. It was clear they had everything well-organized and under control.
The food was absolutely fantastic—several guests commented that it was the best wedding meal they had ever experienced! From the main courses to the sides, everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The desserts were equally impressive and provided a perfect sweet ending to our meal.
The staff was quick, professional, and seamlessly managed the flow of the service, allowing us to focus on enjoying our special day.
I highly recommend Salt + Smoke to anyone looking for outstanding catering. Their food, service, and attention to detail truly made our wedding meal memorable. Thank you for helping make our celebration so amazing!

I’ve been to Salt n’ Smoke many times and was excited to have them cater our wedding to share some good St. Louis barbecue with my wedding guests. Salt n’ Smoke provided the food, the bar, the set-up and teardown of the reception venue, the linens, and waitstaff/bartender.
Overall our experience was great, though there were a few things that I didn’t anticipate happening and would have had some communication about beforehand, if I could do it again.
The good:
- Salt n’ Smoke was great at communicating in the lead up to the wedding. Especially as we got closer to our date, Sara Swain was very available to take my questions and give me valuable advice from her experiences catering my venue (Piper Palm House). She was also very flexible and responsive to a last-minute floorplan change and dealing with checks that got lost in the mail 😬. On the day of, everything was set up according to the directions I gave.
- The tasting was also very helpful, and we appreciated the input and made a few menu changes afterwards.
- Day of, the caterers arrived on time and they were like a very efficient well-oiled machine that worked in the background and just got things done (serving apps and desserts, taking down the tent walls, etc)!
- Finally, the food was incredible, the same quality as you’d get in the restaurant. And they packaged up all the leftovers from the buffet for us to take home.
Downsides/things I’d change:
There were only two main issues that we had with the offerings and service
- First, having craft beer was important to me and I was a bit disappointed that the only way to have beer other than bud light, michelob ultra, etc. was to spring for the premium bar package. It would be nice if there was a mid-level package that perhaps did not include the better liquors but at least allowed for one or two craft beers.
- Following from the first comment, since we did end up getting the premium bar package, I was also disappointed with how limited the bar offerings were. For a premium package, the bartender did not have the supplies to make an old fashioned, a margarita, a moscow mule, etc. It seemed like there were only juice and soda mixers. This limitation was not obvious in the package listing, and is something I wish I had asked about.
- The second main issue is about bussing the tables. I understand that the staff was trying to be helpful, and also to keep the wedding moving according to our timeline, but in trying to keep the tables cleared, they threw away some crucial components of our wedding favors. Our favors came in mesh bags with instruction pamphlets so that guests could take them home, and many guests informed me that the bags and instructions had been thrown away. We spent a lot of time (and money!) on designing the favor experience, and hoped they would be re-used, so this was especially upsetting to us. If I would have anticipated that they would be seen as trash, I would have said something.
- The other issue was that my husband confirmed, after he was asked, that he was going to come back to eat his plate of wedding food and the first slice of cake. But in each case, when he came back to have his food/cake he found that it was thrown away. After all our work of choosing the food and cake, he was upset that he did not have a chance to fully enjoy it on the day of.

We had mixed feelings about booking Salt + Smoke to cater our wedding. Starting with the positives, the food was amazing! So many of our guests raved that this was the best wedding food they had ever had. Additionally, the service on our wedding day was terrific. Setup/tear down was also seamless. Our frustration came from the booking process. We worked with Delana who we felt was distracted and lacked attention to detail. We went back and forth on what should have been a simple contract for months. Every time Delana sent us the contract to review we would find an issue (services missing, incorrect food items, wrong event time listed, etc.). There were instances where the two deposits noted on the invoice didn't tie out to the total and other times where the line items on the invoice didn't add up to the total. This had us stressed out that there would be issues on our wedding day. If Salt + Smoke streamlined the booking process we would totally recommend them to everyone.

Salt & Smoke's catering was amazing! From the initial meeting to the event, working with them was effortless and they helped make our reception a wonderful experience! We and our guests absolutely loved the food, and their staff was a huge help to our family. We did not have to think about one food logistic through the whole evening, and got to just enjoy our celebration! Would recommend booking Salt & Smoke for any event!

Salt & Smoke's catering was amazing! Delana made the process so easy and worked with us making sure the rentals were also everything we were wanting. Everyone raved about their brisket and mac n cheese all night long. As someone who spent hours researching and weighing the pros and cons, Salt & Smoke was a clear standout.

If you’re getting married, choose Salt & Smoke to cater your wedding!! Their food is delicious, all of our guests were raving about the quality and the taste. Sometimes when you eat food that is catered, the quality can diminish compared to the restaurant, however this was just as good!!! The staff were incredible, the set up was smooth, and the prices were reasonable (compared to other wedding caterers we talked to). They also were able to get us vegan/vegetarian options which was really helpful for the guests who had dietary restrictions. 10/10 would recommend!!

If you want AMAZING food for your wedding then book with Salt + Smoke catering!! We received so many compliments on the food with most people saying it was some of the best food they’ve had at a wedding ever! Most guests went back for seconds and we completely ran out of the mac and cheese by the end of the night! Our original caterer canceled on us 45 days prior to our wedding and Salt + Smoke was able to save the day! Anna was so helpful and kind and eased my anxiety of having to find a new caterer so close to our wedding. She made planning a breeze and answered all of my questions so quickly. We were completely blown away with the food and service provided. I can’t recommend them enough!!

Salt & Smoke was amazing to work with throughout our wedding planning. We worked with Anna and she went above and beyond to help bring our vision to life. For our catering we did the 3x3 buffet option with brisket, pulled pork, pulled chicken, beans, cracker mac, and ceasar salad. We heard nothing but great things from our guests about the quality of food and how much they loved the BBQ. Typically buffet food isn't the best but wow this was by far the best food we've had. We are so glad we chose Salt & Smoke, and will be using them for any and all catering services in the future. You won't regret choosing them!

My husband and I knew we wanted BBQ for our wedding. It’s something different than most wedding dinners. We ordered the brisket, pulled pork, pulled chicken, potato salad, Mac n cheese and a salad. The food was AMAZING. Our guests also kept saying how great the food was (honestly, you don’t hear that much for buffet style wedding food). If we ever need another caterer for an event, we will definitely be hiring salt n smoke!

Salt & Smoke’s catering, bar, and linen rental were all excellent for us. The process was professional and stress-free. We worked directly with their catering director to schedule a tasting, where we were able to discuss our needs and get good advice on menu choices and bar options. They were incredibly professional and communicative throughout the whole planning process, and of course, the food was delicious!

I am a vegetarian and we had Salt & Smoke cater our wedding which should be enough said, but I will say more. I can't say enough good things about how nice it was to have really delicious food that I looked forward to on our wedding day. I will say that the falafel was a bit more dry than during our tasting and everything got put away a bit earlier than I would've wanted for our guests, but we had rave reviews and the service was great! I highly recommend!

Hard to get in contact with during planning. Shorted on table linens for wedding reception . Open bar of wine, mixed drinks and beer was not stocked to serve the quest throughout the night. Ran out of beer and other products half way other reception. Salad was not kept stocked during reception dinner but 3 large containers were in the refrigerator at the end of the night instead of being put out for the guest. I really thought they would be better but I’m disappointed

We had Salt & Smoke cater our rehearsal dinner, which was a no-brainer for me since it's one of my favorites in StL! This was my first catering order with them, and I was even more impressed. Of course, all the food was amazing - the mac and cheese is just the best. Even more so than delicious food, they were super easy to work with and thought of everything. They were prompt to deliver the food, set everything up really nicely, and made the whole night easy for us.

Salt + Smoke was the perfect caterer for us! They started with answering all of our questions and ended it by making it right with us after we did not receive our food packed up like we asked. There is so much that goes into catering a wedding and they were great! Our guests are still talking about the food and it was truly the perfect addition to our wedding. The staff appeared a little frazzled in the beginning, but again, they still were able to produce a great product. Bonus points for them answering questions down to the allergy information and descriptions of the sauces so I could put them on our menus.

The food is absolutely amazing!!!! We never heard of Salt and Smoke until I found them on The Knot. We went for a taste test and was blown away. This was the first and only place that we tasted. We had SO MANY compliments on the food at our wedding. 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.

Salt & Smoke did an excellent job catering our wedding! We have gotten endless compliments about how awesome the food was, and the buffet set up we went with allowed for people to take as much or as little as they liked and give our wedding a bit 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.

We loved the food at our wedding. Anna was amazing to work with. She gave us honest answers and helped us create the best plan for our event. Everyone raved about our food. My husband was nervous to have BBQ at such a formal event, but the way 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.

Amazing food! Everyone LOVED the food. They said it was the best food period that they had ever had. It was a huge hit and we actually ran out of food because so many people went back for more and I over counted guests for this!! It was just that 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!!

It was a pleasure to work with Amy for my daughter's wedding on January 1. This being my first time to hire a caterer, I made many changes to the plan as I slowly decided what we wanted, and Amy was quick to answer my many questions and to respond 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!

The food was delicious!! We had some difficulty with contracts during the planning process, but after we got it all figured out we were very happy with the food and staff. We got many compliments on this being the best wedding food they have had. 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!

My husband and I worked with Amy to plan our wedding and sort out all the catering details. To say Salt and Smoke did amazing is an understatement. From selecting them as our vendor, to our tasting and then on the wedding day everything was perfect. 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!!

Catering from salt and smoke was very easy! Such a crowd pleaser and a local favorite. We had planets of food and they even included plates and silverware.

We hired Salt + Smoke to cater our rehearsal dinner this past September. The food was delicious, however the customer service is horrific! We worked with Brooke and she was lovely to work with while booking their services and during contracting. 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.

Hello Ashley,
Thank you for this review. This is not quite how the situation transpired, b...
ut unfortunately on reviews on the Knot and Wedding Wire (as you posted the exact same review on both sites) it's a he said/she said type of thing, so there's really no point in defending ourselves from what you said.
In the end, we're glad you enjoyed the food, and we know you'll enjoy the gift card you received to come back to join us.

We hired Salt + Smoke to cater our wedding and got a TON of compliments on our food all night long! The biggest hits for sides were the potato salad and White Cheddar Cracker Mac. We also loved our beef brisket and ribs. I was excited that they also had a large selection of table linen rentals that were very affordable.

Salt + Smoke, and Brooke specifically, made our wedding so wonderful! Throughout COVID, we worked with 3 separate catering managers, but Brooke came in at the end to tie it all together seamlessly. She coordinated with rentals, our venue, and us 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.

We recently had Salt & Smoke as our wedding reception caterer. Everything was delicious! We chose the beef brisket, chicken, pork, Mac & cheese, salad, and creamed corn. Our guests were raving about the food, especially the brisket. I couldn’t 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!

Incredibly delicious party food! Hiring Salt and Smoke was an awesome choice and grand idea! The professionalism from start to finish was fantastic. Amy and John were wonderful to work with, easy to 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.

We recently had Salt + Smoke cater dinner at our wedding reception and from the very beginning of the process everything went very smooth and easy! Anna was very good at keeping in communication through the whole entire process and very easy to 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 :).

We recently had S+S cater our wedding reception and the experience was flawless and hassle free. Everything was set up/broken down on time and the food was incredible. Most of our guests said it was the best food they’ve ever had at a reception. 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.

The Best Wedding Food Ever! Salt + Smoke went above and beyond to make our reception perfect. The staff provided us with large samples of their meats, appetizers and side dishes at our tasting and helped us create the perfect menu for our reception. 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.

Salt and Smoke was amazing for both beverages and food. My guests kept complimenting me on how good everything was and that it was not "standard" wedding food. Ben from Salt and Smoke made the whole process a breeze!

From the tasting to the wedding everything was excellent. The day of everything was set out in a timely manner and the staff communicated well with the venue. The food was phenomenal and all night our guests were telling us how good it was. We are still working through leftovers and loving it.

Our wedding was months ago now and we STILL have family and friends commenting that ours was the best food they have ever had at a wedding! The event staff was friendly and outgoing, even thoughtfully saving my husband and I some appetizers that 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!!!
