Celiac safe with several gluten free options. I’ve came here twice, once for lunch & once for dinner, both meals were amazing! The food was delicious, service was extraordinary, the decor is fun, & the dog friendly, smoking section is awesome! The partially closed in area is heated and has dog bowls for use.
Live music, several TVs with sports, & a private parking lot are all additional great perks.

The burger I got was good and the service was great. The candied sweet potatoes are divine. I ordered fries but the staff member agreed to grab me a few of them and they are divine. It was also my first time trying toasted ravioli!

I had a great experience at Cafe Telegraph Smoke Shack. The food was fantastic, and everything tasted fresh and well prepared. The pork dishes are especially good, and the sweet potato fries and fried mushrooms were some of the best I’ve had.
The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable, and the patio is a great place to sit and enjoy a meal. The staff was friendly and attentive, and service was quick even though the place was busy.
Overall, it’s a great spot. I’d definitely recommend stopping by.

Let me start by saying: the food? Absolutely reckless in the best way possible.
The BBQ sauce is sweet and tangy like it has a personality. It introduces itself, makes eye contact, and then steals your heart. The meat was sweet, juicy, and so filling I briefly questioned whether I needed to be rolled out like royalty.
That golden sauce?
That’s not sauce. That’s a life decision. I would put that on cereal. I would write it into my will.
The ranch saved the salad like a superhero in a hidden valley cape. The house dressing… it tried. Respectfully. But ranch said, “I’m him.” And it was.
Croutons were not burnt. They were… courageously toasted. Crunch level: aggressive.
Now here’s where things shifted.
After conquering Mount BBQ and entering my food coma era, I waited about 30 minutes for the check. Long enough to:
• Reconsider my life.
• Scroll every app on my phone twice.
• Consider washing dishes in exchange for freedom.
Service during the meal? Amazing. Top tier.
Checkout phase? We entered “time is a social construct” territory.
So I’m dropping it a bit because 30 minutes is 30 minutes.
Still delicious. Still filling. Still would go back.
But next time I might bring a sundial for the check.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (because the food almost convinced me to forgive everything)

It was good, but not great! The proportions are large and the food was tasty. I had boneless wings and one was too hard to eat. But the sauce was great. Their fries are fantastic! Service was great! Weird layout to restaurant. All in all, I’d try again.

Ordered the caesar salad, which was good, but was a little off-put by the grilled chicken breast on top which seemed to be smoked chicken dark meat. Overall the salad was okay. My group as a whole had mixed reviews on the food, this was during lunchtime. Seems like a cool bar and beer prices are very fair. Price was $19.

This is a pretty cool place. They had live music and the decor was really cool.
We ordered smoked dry rub wings and gooey cheese dip appetizers . The cheese dip was good but the smoked wings were awesome.
Monica and I split smokes and sliced chicken breast with baked potato and baked beans.
The chicken was great! The potato was a potato and the baked beans were phenomenal!!!
If you are a wings snob, you have to come and try these!!!

Cafe’ Telegraph is one of our favorite places to meet our friends, eat delicious food, and have great service. We go there often. I personally love their Chicken Wings. Last evening, I branched out and tried their pull pork nachos. They were so tasty. Cafe Telegraph can easily accommodate large groups. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. I want to come back and try the fish tacos. Matt is a great server!!

The Cafe Smoke Shack is located on Telegraph Rd in South St Louis county featuring a wrap around bar and laid back American style food. We had the Sister Fischer Par Grilled Blacken Fish Sandwich & Lemay Smoked Par Wings Rolled in Sweet Asian Chili (1lb) & 7 Holy Founder Chicken Wrap. Blue cheese was bad and warm. Server apologized for it and it wasnt her fault. Overall nice restaurant. WARNING unless you want seasoning in every crevice of your fries ask for light on the seasoning.
