KC's neighborhood spot
Every cut starts in the pit and ends on your plate. No shortcuts, no rush — just Kansas City done right.
Our 14-hour post oak and hickory smoked brisket. Cracked pepper bark, juicy interior, served with house pickle.
Slow-smoked pork shoulder, hand-pulled and finished with our tangy house sauce. Tender enough to fall apart.
Half or full rack of honey-glazed baby back ribs. Dry rub first, sauce second — or skip the sauce and let the smoke speak.
House-stuffed and smoked over hickory. Smoky, garlicky, and perfectly snap-ready. AKC-style done right.
Half or whole smoked chicken. Skin that shatters, meat that stays juicy. Our secret rub does the talking.
The crown jewels of KC BBQ. Cubed brisket point, re-smoked and tossed in butter and brown sugar. Crispy, sweet, smoky.

St Thomas BBQ started with a simple idea: if you're going to smoke meat, do it properly. No shortcuts. No gas-powered warmers. Just real wood, real time, and real Kansas City flavor.
We're on Lister Ave because this is where we grew up. This is the neighborhood we want to feed. Every brisket that leaves the pit carries the same standard we'd hold our own families to — tender, smoky, and honest.
Whether you're grabbing a quick plate for lunch or pulling up for a Sunday dinner with the whole crew, we want you to taste the difference that patience makes.
