Cute little smokehouse with a not-so-BBQ vibe. The burnt ends and pulled pork were very delicious. The tri-tip and pulled chicken were dry and lacked flavor. Our server was kind, but she was overwhelmed. They definitely need more servers and someone to spellcheck their BBQ sauce labels. The food was pricey for the portion sizes, and their menu online wasn't the same as in the restaurant. I think if they fix these things, they could continue to grow and earn 5 stars.
They are back and better than ever! Charlotte was the server and she was super awesome! She was sweet and knew all about the menu. The layout is a lot better as well. It is more open, and they even have built a stage towards the back instead of the front. Food was great, too! I even got to meet the owner who asked us how we liked everything. :)
Very cute place! Good food and good service. Sauces were unique and tasty. The pork and chicken had a nice lite smoke flavor and the fries were really good. The cornbread was great as well. Can't wait to try the meatloaf and tri-tip.

The Shaved Duck in Tower Grove East has been a favorite for years. I brought a friend who has never eaten here before and he was impressed. Their burnt ends are beyond! Service is great. I can honestly say I have never eaten anything here I haven’t liked. We are inside this trip because of the heat outside, but they do have picnic tables outside if you prefer eating outdoors. They have a nice beer and cocktail selection as well. Just a great neighborhood vibe with really good food!
The atmosphere is chill, staff members are super friendly and the drinks are reasonable. The four stars is for the wait time. We were seated immediately however we waited an hour for our foods to arrive. Two plates were French fries, I ordered a meat & two and my husband ordered the appetizer nachos. We have eaten here before with great service and a similar wait time.
I will say that the 1/2 pound of wings was ridiculous. 4 pieces…
Some of the best BBQ I’ve ever had. You MUST try the duck confit, cornbread, burnt ends, beans, ribs, turkey, and brussel sprouts. Everything was so delicious and served quickly. Both BBQ sauces are yummy, but we preferred the thicker, sweeter one.
1st time here! We came right when they opened at 12 pm on a Saturday and it wasn’t busy at all. There wasn’t a lot of seating. There’s parking on the road in all directions. I Definitely recommend if in the area or needing a date night! The food was great! The service was great! Our food came quickly.
Recommended to me by a colleague and I'm glad I stopped. Cool atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating available I went shortly after open on a Saturday and was able to get a table - bar seating is also available.
FOOD: Brisket burger with bacon and a side of mac. The burger was really good. I tried some of the sauces on a few bites... the burger doesn't need it but they do compliment the flavors of the meat.
DRINK: Sour Grove East. The drink was well prepared. Very balanced.
They had a couple of musicians setting up as I was leaving. Staff was friendly and accomodating.
We were so glad to be back! This is our favorite BBQ in STL; it’s just consistently great across all the menu items we’ve tried. The crispy brussel sprouts are amazing, and my husband and I both love the smothered fries with pulled pork! We tend to get their sandwhiches, and love the variety of sauce options, but are partial to the Black Isle/peppery sauce. We will be back, excited to enjoy the drinks when the license goes through!
Wow is all i can say! This place is such a gem. We were staying in an air bnb within walking distance and stopped. The air was out when we visited (a rare occurrence I’m sure) but the service was still phenomenal. We tried the smoked wings, pulled pork and duck breast. All were very flavorful and high quality. I’d recommend this place to anyone!
