Sugarfire Smoke House Gets the Love from the Riverfront Times

St. Louis' Riverfront Times has written a valentine to one of Olivette's newest businesses: Sugarfire Smoke House, the cafeteria-style barbecue joint in the Shops of Price Crossing.

"You must approach 3-month-old Sugarfire Smoke House with an open mind as well as an empty stomach," wrote Ian Froeb in his review of the restaurant. The review ran on Thursday on the RFT's website.

The review makes particular note of Sugarfire's cafeteria-style service, which is apparently why patrons might need to keep "an open mind."

Sugarfire is rather small, a single dining room with tables crowded together. (The restaurant is tucked into a modern, mixed-use development along Olive Boulevard in Olivette, just west of Interstate 170. If you didn't know it was there, you might never find it.) The interior is weathered-roadhouse — if a touch generic, then at least not gimmicky. The line to order stretches from the entrance around half of the dining room's perimeter.
