If you want real-deal wings, ribs, or bar eats with zero attitude and lots of TV screens, this is where you land. It's an easy pick when you want BBQ but don’t want to trek to a smoked-meats specialist.
St. Louis has nailed the consistency thing—no matter which location, the wings come out crispy and the ribs reliably smoky and saucy. They focus purely on BBQ/bar classics, skipping the wannabe smokehouse trend. For better or worse, the crowd is always Toronto in microcosm—sports fans, families, groups of friends, and lone beer-and-wings lovers.
St. Louis Bar & Grill has grown into Toronto’s go-to spot for wings, saucy ribs, and all-around BBQ comfort food. They’re a citywide chain, locally owned, with a totally unpretentious vibe and TVs everywhere—the perfect spot for catching the Leafs or Raptors. The menu’s packed with wings (over 15 sauces), smoked ribs, loaded fries, burgers, and other reliable pub staples, all cooked fresh. No matter which location, the room is casual and a bit loud—expect paper towel rolls, sticky fingers, and plenty of pitchers on the table.
Usually not for small groups, but call ahead for peak nights or if you’re bringing a big group.
The dry-rub ribs with house BBQ sauce on the side, plus a side of loaded fries.
Absolutely—booths and long tables fit 6–10 easily and it’s lively, but plan ahead on game nights.
$18–$28 mains; snacks, wings, and sides from $8–$17.
