St. Louis-Style Pork Ribs, Chicken Fried Ribs, Meet Our Meats Platter
What makes it special: Neighborhood smokehouse focused on slow-smoked ribs and meats just off the 606.

RYUU Asian BBQ & Sushi is an all-you-can-eat Korean-focused grill house where tabletop burners turn out kalbi short ribs, pork belly, and skewers alongside a long list of rolls and small plates. It’s louder and more chaotic than refined, but the ribs land well when you pace the grill and avoid over-ordering.
Must-Try Dishes:
Kalbi short ribs for the grill, Pork belly BBQ, Korean fried chicken wings
What makes it special: An AYCE Korean BBQ hub mixing grill-your-own meats with big sushi spreads.

Outdoor Dining Oasis
Brewery & Beer Garden Republic
Wolf & Company is a two-level restaurant, market, and bar perched directly on the 606 with a menu that runs from tavern pies and burgers to baby back ribs. Ribs here skew more ‘elevated bar food’ than hardcore smokehouse, but they pair well with cocktails and patio time overlooking the trail.
Must-Try Dishes:
Half Rack Baby Back Ribs, Full Slab Ribs, Spicy Buffalo Wings
What makes it special: All-day restaurant and market off the 606 where baby back ribs share space with strong drinks and trail-facing patio seating.
