Five Ace’s Smokestaq Lightning

Five Ace’s Smokestaq Lightning was built on our passion for bold smoke, real St. Louis barbecue, and doing things the right way—slow cooking over charcoal and wood to bring out deep, satisfying flavor that reflects the tradition we grew up loving.

Expect slow-smoked favorites prepared with care and seasoned just right, from tender ribs and brisket plates to pulled pork sandwiches and creative twists like our smoked brisket Philly. Every plate is crafted to balance rich smoke flavor with classic sides that make your barbecue experience complete.

What matters most to us is serving food that reflects where we come from and where we’re headed. We’re family owned and operated in the truest sense, and being right here on the riverfront—bringing authentic smoke, live blues influence, and real hospitality—is something we’re proud of every day. Thank you for stopping by, supporting local, and letting us share our smokehouse with you—one great meal at a time.
