Sugarfire Smokehouse — O'Fallon
The Atlas Review
The BBQ Atlas
Sugarfire Smokehouse in O'Fallon does St. Louis style barbecue, and it sells out most days by closing time.
On the Illinois side, the O'Fallon Sugarfire runs the same St. Louis-style barbecue as the rest: slow-smoked ribs, pulled pork and brisket, a rotating specials board, and a dessert case that traces back to co-founder Carolyn Downs's love of pie. It's fast-casual — order at the counter — but the cooking is chef-driven, the way Mike Johnson set it up. Specials change; the brisket doesn't need to.
