From Yelp!, 4.5 out of 5 stars on average (seven reviews)

Darren K. gave it 5 stars: "The English language isn't capable of the type of hyperbole necessary to express how awesome their ribs are."

Dustin O. gave it 5 stars: "I usually get their beef brisket, but their pulled pork is wonderful too.  Their potato wedge french fries have a great seasoning on them, and go wonderful with their homemade BBQ sauce."

Paul called it a "favorite": "How many people know this is the third location for this BBQ place? I have been going to Charlottes Rib since it was in Kirkwood across from the Central Hardware. That my friends makes me a long time customer if I do the math right at least 45 years and three generations of the Peters clan."
