The Shaved Duck on Virginia Avenue in St. Louis’s Tower Grove East neighborhood has been one of the city’s most celebrated BBQ and smoked meat restaurants since it opened, building a menu around wood-smoked meats and creative BBQ sides in a neighborhood setting that earns a St. Louis restaurant its destination reputation across the city. It appeared in Season 15, Episode 11 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Food Done Right,” which aired October 29, 2012. Guy Fieri found a St. Louis BBQ kitchen doing serious wood-fired smoking with the quality and creativity that earns a neighborhood smokehouse its place in a city with a strong BBQ tradition.

What to Eat
The Smoked Duck — the signature that gives the restaurant its name — is the BBQ centerpiece that sets The Shaved Duck apart from every other St. Louis smokehouse. The Smoked Brisket with proper bark and smoke ring is the Texas-style addition that satisfies the classic BBQ crowd. The Smoked Pulled Pork on a toasted bun with house coleslaw is the everyday classic worth ordering alongside the duck. The House-Made Sides — rotating seasonal options that go beyond the standard BBQ accompaniments — are built with the same from-scratch commitment as the smoked meats.
