Roper's Ribs St Louis “Best BBQ Ribs In America”

- Steve Harvey

Roper’s Ribs is a family owned Saint Louis Ribs restaurant. We have catered  barbecue in Saint Louis since 1976. Our great Barbecue taste draws customers to our restaurant literally throughout the United States and beyond its borders. We invest a great deal of time and effort in preparing our Barbecue. Our meats are hand rubbed with our own special blend of spices and slowly smoked for 12 hours with hickory wood to create an exquisite flavor. Our famous Saint Louis Ribs-baby back, or ribs St Louis style, rib tips, pulled pork, beef brisket and shrimp have given us bragging rights and national recognition as Hillshire Farm “Best Barbeque Place.”

The House of the Bar-B-Q Wizard

In this country, this is the place where the achievement of an optimal level of performance is continuous, eternal pursuit. In the competitive race, bereavement is a lack of competence where a satisfied customer is the only recruit.

This is where rolled or crumbled paper, charcoal and wood scraps are favors in a mystic process. It is here that customers come and find satisfaction after trying all the rest.

Products are prepared here for a special day, an event, a moment, or maybe all three. But everyone knows that when the food is completed and presented, it’s almost God Sent, the best that could ever be.

This is a place where each different dish is listed by number or preparation. Some are selected because they are nutritious, others based solely on the customer’s expectation.

The food in this place undergoes a scientific application, conducted under artistic, religious skill. Yes, they come for the taste, it’s terrific, but there is also the preparation and other magic performed on the grill.

This is the place of specially prepared meat and magically mixed sauce. It is with slight-of-hand where the Bar-B-Q Wizard dares to show who is boss.

Throughout the land, this house is known by cooks and the holders of culinary contests. The story is: this man and his spouse have shown that it’s more than handsome and pretty looks that keeps them rated among the best.

This is the place where customers come to eat, in hot summer weather or a winter blizzard. There is never a question, for the best cooked meat - it’s the house of the Bar-B-Q Wizard.

-Norris G. Pearson (January 1, 2009)
