Great food, service — GO! I am very impressed with service and timing, especially coming on Friday at 12:15pm.

Lee Fulmer

Agree that the smothered fries are a MUST along with the Mac and Cheese . I would say anything with their pulled pork would also be a win! Such good food and service!

Catherine L

Wait was incredibly long but very much worth it. Excellent food, tremendous service. From drinks at the bar to French pressed coffee at the end. plus maple , walnut bacon , smothered fries , duck & BBQ !!

Fries Taste Test: The porky meat on Shaved Duck 's smothered fries is excellent — but the flavor of the actual fries got lost in all the other stuff. Also: They coulda and shoulda been a lot hotter. Read more

I love it here! Warm, lively , fun with delicious soul warming food!Ribs are a favorite but so many options that will leave you wanting more await.Staff ensures you enjoy your experience on all levels!

OMG. The family trip to Branson,Mo.. we extended to St.Louis for the arch and ate here for BBQ fare per Triple D recommendation. It was well worth it. BBQ was spot on.

B. Kyle Bass

One of my favorite places in the city . I recommend the Big Jimmy Sampler for a first time there (it's enough food for two). Don't miss out on the smothered fries or the mac 'n cheese .

Jacqui Hood

Fast service and excellent BBQ (I had a tri tip sandwich and my husband had the half rack of ribs ). I highly recommend if you are in the St. Louis area.

The walnut and brown sugar-encrusted bacon and the slow-smoked duck breast with cherry juniper jam showcase the decadent Southern inspired menu. Read more

Michael Morgan

One of the best restaurants in St. Louis! Good alcohol menu, amazing food, trans friendly restrooms , and occasional live music ! What more could one want?

Gloria Chin

get the baked apple with pulled pork , bacon , & pistachio butter, smothered fries w/ Pulled rib meat and home-made cheese sauce , smoked meatloaf w/ root beer glaze

Dianne Carty

Smothered fries are great, they subbed Brussels sprouts for fries for me while I'm on a diabetic diet. Duck confit was nice, just the right consistency. A little overpriced, overall good ambiance.

Rob Szydlowski

Creative dishes featuring house made bbq meats . Had the pulled pork flat bread and would recommend it. Only thing I noticed as needed is a mustard sauce .

Louis Russell

The Duck Pot Pie is one of the best entrées I've ever had. The cuisine and atmosphere of this local establishment is unmissable.

Ed Hoffman

Great beer and bourbon selection . Get the Smothered Fries no matter what else you do.

Riverfront Times

Fans of the original Shaved Duck menu should know that the beloved duck confit and duck-fat frites remain. Read more

Very good food!! All tips left. Are correct, have all items mentioned and wasn't disappointed. Had plenty of food to take home and was pleasantly surprised with the bill. Highly recommend!!!

Chai Odom

This place is a great hidden gem ! Everything here is amazing. The duck jalapeno chilli was delicious.

Alana Crutchfield

Amazing food and atmosphere. Food smoked to perfection and side dishes that seemed if they were prepared out of your great grandmothers kitchen! 5 stars!

Mary Billett

Order the sampler if its your first time. Oh, and show up early! Very crowded even on week nights.

Heather Davidson

Amazing food! I recommend the smothered fries , brisket sandwich , and you have to get the gooey butter cake topped brownie !

Riverfront Times

You must try the pulled rib meat layered over hand-cut fries that just so happen to be smothered in cheese sauce made in-house. http://bit.ly/1eGtVqK

Amanda Meeks

The tri-tip is is so tender it melts in your mouth. Plus the mac & cheese is to die for!

Phil Miller

Great meal, great service. A little noisy as the room is really crowded . Food outstanding.

Amy Barringer

Live music and delicious ribs . Good variety of drinks and the descriptions in the menu are a great read!

Chris Benson

The food never disappoints here. I eat till I am in pain almost every time. Beer and wine list is impressive and reasonably priced. Holly is the best server/bartender I have ever had.

Kelsey Roberts

Smothered fries and burnt ends are the way to go. Beer is a little overpriced but food is amazing.

David Bright

Visited here on a business trip and have a great time with awesome food. Smothered Fries !

Parker Gibson

Jalepeno cream corn is the best side there. Always go for the duck plate.

Kelly Ruffer

Hour wait was totally worth it. Try the Tri-tip sandwich !! Mouthwatering.

Bridget Cabibi-Wilkin

No duck at lunch , but meatloaf sandwich was tasty. Brisket doesn't have much flavor before you add sauce (which is good), but it's nice & juicy, not all dried out like smoe places.

Joshua Fears

The tri-tip is very tender. Mashed potatoes are mouth-watering.

Adam Hickey

People are right: the smothered fries are great. Stay away from the cornbread .

Amanda Kelly

This is my favorite place to eat in STL! Smothered fries & duck confit pot pie are heavenly

Emily K

Small and intimate , go early to avoid the wait! A great find.

Curt Marquis

The original and best source for custard, a kind of thicker and sweeter ice cream. Caution: highly addictive and somewhat dangerous to your health if over-consumed. - Joey Jay
