Philip GreenFebruary 16, 2018Great food, service — GO! I am very impressed with service and timing, especially coming on Friday at 12:15pm.
Lee FulmerJuly 23, 2016Agree 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!
Go! MagazineApril 25, 2013Fries 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
FernMarch 27, 2015I 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!- Catherine LMarch 29, 2015Wait 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!!
Scott MontgomeryJuly 1, 2017OMG. 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.
Riverfront TimesNovember 24, 2014The walnut and brown sugar-encrusted bacon and the slow-smoked duck breast with cherry juniper jam showcase the decadent Southern inspired menu. Read more
Dianne CartyJuly 23, 2018Smothered 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.
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 HoodApril 7, 2017Fast 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.
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?
Rob SzydlowskiOctober 19, 2018Creative 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.- Gloria ChinFebruary 24, 2014get 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
- Riverfront TimesAugust 4, 2014Fans of the original Shaved Duck menu should know that the beloved duck confit and duck-fat frites remain. Read more
Louis RussellSeptember 13, 2014The Duck Pot Pie is one of the best entrées I've ever had. The cuisine and atmosphere of this local establishment is unmissable.
Ed HoffmanJuly 22, 2018Great beer and bourbon selection. Get the Smothered Fries no matter what else you do.
Nick MagoteauxDecember 20, 2011Very 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!!!- Riverfront TimesSeptember 17, 2013You 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
Chai OdomMay 5, 2015This place is a great hidden gem! Everything here is amazing. The duck jalapeno chilli was delicious.
Mary BillettJune 26, 2013Order the sampler if its your first time. Oh, and show up early! Very crowded even on week nights.
Alana CrutchfieldAugust 26, 2012Amazing food and atmosphere. Food smoked to perfection and side dishes that seemed if they were prepared out of your great grandmothers kitchen! 5 stars!- 24 Hour Food GeekJune 13, 2015Try the Shrimp & Grits - Shrimp & grits - sautéed shrimp, jalapeño cheddar grits.

Amanda MeeksNovember 2, 2015The tri-tip is is so tender it melts in your mouth. Plus the mac & cheese is to die for!
Heather DavidsonApril 28, 2013Amazing food! I recommend the smothered fries, brisket sandwich, and you have to get the gooey butter cake topped brownie!
Amy BarringerAugust 14, 2014Live music and delicious ribs. Good variety of drinks and the descriptions in the menu are a great read!
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.- Quentin HendricksApril 19, 2019Try the ribs. You won't be disappointed. Really enjoyed the live music as well.
- 24 Hour Food GeekJune 13, 2015Try the Smoked Meatloaf - Smoked meatloaf - root beer glaze. Shaved duck. (via @Foodspotting)
Heather LoehrMay 26, 2013So good. Had the sampler platter, very good but WAY too much food. Try the fries on the apps. So good!!
Phil MillerAugust 20, 2016Great meal, great service. A little noisy as the room is really crowded. Food outstanding.
Smoked meats are delicious! Live music Mon-Thurs and an awesome craft beer menu.
Kelsey RobertsApril 22, 2014Smothered fries and burnt ends are the way to go. Beer is a little overpriced but food is amazing.
Bridget Cabibi-WilkinJune 19, 2013No 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.
Parker GibsonNovember 5, 2014Jalepeno cream corn is the best side there. Always go for the duck plate.
Eric VenkerAugust 20, 2014Great wings and the meatloaf sandwich was killer. Short but good beer list.
Kelly RufferFebruary 9, 2015Hour wait was totally worth it. Try the Tri-tip sandwich!! Mouthwatering.
Matina AngelopoulouSeptember 20, 2014We tried the baby ribs with mac& cheese and they were delicious!!!!!
David BrightJanuary 9, 2014Visited here on a business trip and have a great time with awesome food. Smothered Fries!- 24 Hour Food GeekJanuary 15, 2019Smoked chicken wings. #24hourfoodgeek Follow us at http://24hourfoodgeek.wordpress.com

Daniel DoellingJanuary 6, 2016Goodness, even the flippin' bun on my pulled pork sandwich was amazing.
Adam HickeyJuly 30, 2015People are right: the smothered fries are great. Stay away from the cornbread.
Amanda KellyDecember 10, 2011This is my favorite place to eat in STL! Smothered fries & duck confit pot pie are heavenly
