Ever wonder what makes our St. Louis-style ribs so good?

Our ribs are smoked low and slow over pure hickory for 4 hours, then finished with our signature mop sauce.

It's a process that takes patience, but around here, great barbecue always does.

That's the Dino way.

Creole Deviled Eggs have been a longtime favorite of Dinosaur Bar-B-Que founder John Stage ever since his mother made them for family cookouts growing up.

Creamy. Tangy. Hit with Creole mustard and Cajun spice.

The kind of side dish that somehow disappears before the ribs even hit the table.

🔖 Save this for Memorial Day Weekend.
