Comet | Local STL Cafe
crazy, but this place is located behind a gas station, but don't let that fool you. The BBQ is no joke. So good! We tried the smoked turkey and the brisket, definite must stop when passing through.

A trip to St. Louis would not be complete without a little gambling. This place is full of everything. Food, gambling, shopping, and best of all, people watching.
