"For something a bit more sophisticated try the Smoked Duck - prepared daily and to perfection."

Food Network

"Guy got extra messy as he dug into the cheese fries piled high with smoked pork butt and rib meat. Topped with cherry juniper jam, the smoked duck was so good with its crispy skin that Guy devoured it."

Lonely Planet

"The Shaved Duck fires up its grills early in the day and turns out excellent BBQ, such as the signature smoked duck."

Spencer Pernikoff

"The meat was juicy. The thin layer of skin was deliciously crisp, but I think it was the cherry-juniper jam that made the dish a stand-out. What I liked about both of these last two entrees is that they weren't typical BBQ fare, but they still had that smoky BBQ flair."

Jessica Misener

"Nothing say comfort food like "pulled rib and pork meat over hand cut fries topped with cheese sauce and freshly grated sharp cheddar." That's right: TWO forms of cheese. Hello Missouri."

Kate Kolenda

"The Shaved Duck in St. Louis is known for their commitment to excellent barbecue, and their Smothered Fries are an homage to the perfect pairing that is smoked pig and potato. They start with hand-cut fries and then top them with cheese sauce, freshly grated sharp Cheddar, and, of course, pulled pork."

Sarah Fenske

"It won top honors for its burnt ends."

George Mahe

"On the basis of a midweek visit, though, it’s clear that we’re not the only ones smiling as the city has embraced this reborn restaurant, thanks to standards like pulled pork and ribs, as well as nonstandards like smoked meatloaf and a devilishly addicting concoction called brisket dip (think buffalo chicken dip with brisket and barbecue sauce in place of chicken and hot sauce)."

Kellyn Nettles

"When you stop here, be sure to try the smoked duck paired with cherry juniper jam, a meal that had Guy Fieri saying: That’s righteous duck."

Corin Cesaric

"Try something more unique like the slow smoked duck breast with a cherry juniper jam and a side of your choice."
