About Ballpark Village

Oh, hey! Welcome to Salt + Smoke Ballpark Village

Your home for award-winning BBQ in the heart of downtown St. Louis. Located right in Ballpark Village just steps from Busch Stadium, we’re two stories of seriously good BBQ with an upstairs patio that overlooks the ballpark. Whether you’re catching a Cardinals game or just looking for the best BBQ in downtown St. Louis, there’s truly no better seat in the city.

We’re serving the same award-winning BBQ you know and love, like oak-smoked brisket, cherry wood St. Louis-style ribs, smoked wings, pulled pork, and all our homemade sides, smoked fresh daily right here at our Ballpark Village location.

Game day? Join our waitlist (opens in a new tab) before you head our way. We do get busy when the Cardinals are in town. Non-game days are a little more laid back, but the BBQ is just as good.

Every Monday through Friday from 3–6pm, join us for Happy Hour with discounted food and drink specials plus our exclusive Happy Hour BBQ quesadilla. View our happy hour menu.

We validate parking! You can find street parking or use the parking lot behind Ballpark Village.

Note: One Cardinal Way parking garage is for residents only.
