Founded by Pappy's alumni, Adam's turns out excellent brisket and ribs, but its sleeper signature is the smoked salami — a St. Louis rarity done exceptionally well.

Adam's Smokehouse — Frequently Asked Questions
What should I order at Adam's Smokehouse?
Regulars point to Brisket, Smoked Salami, Ribs, and Smoked Turkey.
Is Adam's Smokehouse expensive?
Adam's Smokehouse is mid-range ($$).
What kind of barbecue does Adam's Smokehouse serve?
Adam's Smokehouse serves St. Louis barbecue — St. Louis barbecue is its own animal, built on the pork steak, the crispy pork snoot, and the St. Louis-cut spare rib, finished with a sweet, sticky, tomato-based sauce. The tradition leans closer to grilling and long backyard smokes than to the all-day pit cooking of Texas, and it carries a deep soul-food lineage on the city's North Side.
