The Burnt End

The perfect Sunday afternoon drive! Burnt Ends provided fuel for the journey. We chose a sample platter with hushpuppies and onion rings as sides. Fall of the bone ribs, Juicy pulled chicken, spicy hot link, and delicious brisket. The hushpuppies were perfectly seasoned, and the batter on the onion rings crisp and delicous. The sauces:sweet heat-balanced and my favorite. The mustard sauce paired perfectly with the brisket. A must stop in!!

Enjoying life 1 sip, 1 bite, and 1 small town at a time. Explore everything!

Took a 3hr ride to eat here today. This place is awesome, food is excellent, service is outstanding. Today I had the Ray ??? Sandwich and fries. Brisket, pulled pork, and chicken. 5 stars !!!! Wife got the Baja Chicken sandwich with Mac and cheese. She said it was delicious. We also got the pork rinds and Burt End appetizers. They were mouth watering. This place always delivers every time we come.**********

My dad and I got two different sandwiches and traded halves so we could try both. We did the two specials, so we had BBQ meatball and Smoked BLT. They were both fantastic! Sweet potato fries and praline sauce were AH-mazing! Onion rings with a bit of the sweet heat sauce were also a great combination.
The service was friendly and everyone had a smile.

This was my first time trying this restaurant; I have to say I'm highly impressed. The restaurant is kept immaculately clean and my server was very friendly. I ordered the pork steak platter which comes with two sides and a corn muffin. For my sides I choose the sour cream potato salad and the creamy Cole slow; both of which were delicious. The pork steak was extremely tender like butter and very juicy. The sauce to meat ratio was done perfectly as well. Highly recommend to anyone and will most definitely return again.

We were in town this past weekend for Taylor Swift and we decided to try it out. It looked fancy from the outside and the inside, the food and the service were also “fancy”. I’m from StL and I had to try authentic KC BBQ while we were there. Our server was incredibly personable and chatty. The food was phenomenal and the atmosphere was great!

Great bbq place located right in the middle of Red Bud . Staff and the owner were there and both were super friendly.
They serve you complimentary pork rinds if you're so inclined . I absolutely recommend getting them . Perfectly crisp and seasoned up with their house rub. Would be a little better if they served them hot but still excellent.
We ordered the sampler Platter. It includes pulled pork, brisket , ribs and a hot link . Pork and brisket were both cooked well and had plenty of moisture left in them . They serve baby back ribs here . Cooked perfectly as well . The hot link isnt really hot at all but just their house homemade sausage.
I will definitely be back here .

We had the brisket sandwich, turkey sandwich and wings. All were very good! The mac and cheese was ok but very small portions.
Service was excellent. We will return if in the area again.

Great place! Awesome service. Recommend ordering a side of ribs with whatever your order is. Burnt ends go quick, get here early for lunch.

Sweet potato fries and praline sauce are worth the trip by themselves. The food will stimulate the taste buds.

Excellent all around. Food is delicious, plentiful and prompt. Service is excellent and a very nice atmosphere.

This is a cute place to eat right in the middle of a cute little town. The food is good and the staff is friendly. Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere was nice (except that Fox News was in the tv). I recommend eating here.

The service was outstanding at this place. The food was very good I got the half pound cheeseburger and my wife got the pork steak dinner. We thought they were both excellent. Our waitress was so nice and attentive. We had a great visit.

Super good barbecue; just enough smokiness in everything. Tender brisket and ribs; home cut fries and very good cole slaw. Will return; highly recommended!

We love to eat here and the catering is awesome! Great staff!

A hidden gem in beautiful downtown Red Bud! Ribs, pork steaks, pulled pork burnt end chips are just a few things I have tried. Bourbon slushy is a must try too! Very reasonably priced food and drinks. Staff is delightful!

16 oz smoked pork steak was good, tender, not dried out. It was more than I could eat. Delicious

I decided to take my husband here for his birthday lunch. It was our first time, and it was awesome. Our server in the pink shirt and pink shoes was busy, but still gave us awesome service. My daughter loved her mini corn dogs, I loved my shredded chicken sandwich, and my husband loved his burger. We will be returning.

I have driven by this place soooo many times and finally got the chance to stop in. Amazing food, great lunch specials, and super awsome peeps. If you want great BBQ or you just want to check out a cool old building add this place to your must go list.

Delicious BBQ, the burnt ends, pork rinds and beans were exceptional!!!

Oh, the food was excellent! I've been trying to find a good bbq place near where I live west of St. Louis but haven't found anything I liked. The hour trip to Red Bud, IL. was worth it!
The brisket was tender and flavourful, the beans were quite tasty, the sour cream potato salad was great, and the hushpuppies were amazing!
Our waitress was kind and attentive.
The building is beautiful!
Make the trip. You'll be glad you did.
