Summertime’s just so sweet, in part, because we can hang out outside with our family and friends. Backyard barbecues, in fact, provide the perfect backdrop for relaxation, good conversation, and a delicious meal. Get that backyard barbecue vibe all year round at Ethyl’s Smokehouse in Missouri, a quirky restaurant that dishes up huge portions.
Quirkiness and finger-licking good barbecue go hand-in-hand at Ethyl’s Smokehouse in O’Fallon, a neighborhood eatery where you can relax, be yourself, and enjoy a delicious meal.

If you’ve never been to Ethyl’s Smokehouse, you’ll probably first notice the quirky décor – the back of old-fashioned buggies serving as booths, old metal shop signs, and a flying red horse pointing toward the ceiling.

Bring your friends or family and a hearty appetite with you, because you’ve got a ton of delicious dishes from which to choose – appetizers that range from kettle chips to barbecued nachos, for example.

The masterpiece of the meal, however, is the barbecue. Your mouth might start watering as you browse the menu of smoked ribs, smoked pork, and smoked brisket platters. (You can’t go wrong with ribs either, can you?)

If you like your barbecue on a sandwich, consider the smoked brisket or the smoked barbecue chicken.

Don’t worry if you or your friends aren’t exactly barbecue fans. You’ve got an abundance of other dishes from which to choose – burgers, steaks, chicken, and fish.

You’re going to love the selection of sides, too. In season, you won’t want to pass by the corn on the cob. Roasted apples, potato salad, and sweet potato fries are also among your many choices.

Save just a bit of room, too, for dessert. How do a few scoops of ice cream sound? You might want to combine them with a slice of carrot cake, cheesecake, or chocolate cake.
