“ Listen!!! I ordered the snoot sandwich!! Yeah buddy… it was really good!! It was just the right amount crunchy and the sauce was crazy good!! I do wish that it would have been chopped down into smaller chunks.. but that’s only because my fat self wanted to have a way to eat it faster.. lol… definitely will be going back.. I can’t wait to try the polish and/or ribs!!! 10/10 ”

“ We came here for the snoots (pig nose grilled to a crisp and covered in bbq sauce).“The secret is in the sauce” is painted on the wall outside the restaurant, and I would agree this is the case! The tomato based bbq sauce is wonderfully tangy and also has a molasses like a quality with subtle hints of garlic, brown sugar, and onion. I do wish the pig snouts were cut into smaller pieces, as the large size can make them difficult to chew; some of the smaller pieces were absolutely perfect ! I do recommend eating snoots fresh because once they get stale they can lose their characteristics crunchy quality ”

“ Real glad we made the trip and stopped in. Best bbq in STL. Excellent value. Friendly, hard working service. Full rib was stellar. Juicy, tender, not one moment overdone—perfect temperature. My daughter said best ever. Chicken leg quarters were generous, falling off the bone, just the right amount of chew. Rich and flavorful. Snoots crispy, perfect texture. Real treat. Sauce is light, good spice, nice consistency. Peppery and complements meat just right. Baked beans got less attention than the meat, but a tasty side. Plenty of food to keep enjoying for a couple days. Happy family! Will definitely be back. Thanks for the hospitality. ”

“ When it comes to Sandy's Barbecue, they will and have been my number 1, Bobbiecue go to. My family will come in town and that's exactly where they want their cue from.. We grew up with the owners and family and they loved the People of East St. Louis and Surrounding areas who also Supported them as well.. People come as far as Chicago, Kansas, Memphis, to get a Good Crispy Snoot from Sandy's. My favorite is their Snoots, and their Polish.. The only thing that I wish that they would do, is to use uber or door dash for delivery Service...Sandy's We Always Support You Forever...Mmmmmmm, Good! Grade, A+ ”
