Shooters - Sports Bars Near Me - O'Fallon, Illinois

We stopped in for lunch. Fairly busy on a Saturday. Atmosphere was inviting. Service was great. Prices were fair. Portions were big. We couldn't eat all of it. But, we ordered pulled pork and brisket. Both were a bit dry and not much smoked flavor. Good brisket & pulled pork doesn't need sauce. This needed some. They had 4 flavors of bbq sauce, that was good. We'll be back again and give it another try. Baked beans were delicious. And the fresh potato chips were crispy and just right. read more

This place isn't terrible, but it's not outstanding either. It's your typical sports bar. It's usually always super crowded. It's seat-yourself, so you have to kind of stalk a table that looks like it may empty out soon. I sat on the bench side of the tables along the front wall. I was not impressed with the gross that was behind there. It didn't seem to have been swept or mopped in quite awhile. Servers are nice, but you can tell they have regulars that they favorite, which is fair enough. I like special treatment at my regular hang out also. My only complaint with this was that the place was super busy, and I feel like the non-regulars were not being taken care of. Everything is very reasonably priced, and the food is pretty good. I'd come back here again when I'm in the mood for a cheap sports bar and low expectations. read more

Shooters - Ew. - Sports Bars Near Me - O'Fallon, Illinois

I read a few reviews of this place before going. They were mostly good ones so I gave it a go. First thing I noticed when I walked in was that there was nobody in there trying to tell you where to go, sit where you want, nothing. Few waitresses walked by without a word. They might want to put up a sign or something telling folks what to do. Eventually we seated ourselves and put in the order. We ordered smoked sausage, half slab of ribs, fried ribs, potato salad, and onion rings. Let's start with the sausage. It was flavorful and not overcooked, so that's a good start. The ribs were next. The regular ribs also tasted pretty good and had good flavor. They were also cooked well and not overcooked. I hate "fall off the bone" ribs, and these didn't. They hsdca good bite to them. The only bad thing about them was that they were fairly cool to the touch. Flavor good, temp not so much. The fried ribs were also good and were not cold though. The onion rings were pretty good with tasty dipping sauce. Unfortunately, they were also not hot. The potato salad was pretty good and cold, which I was hoping they would be. LOL. Overall, the food was pretty good, better than I was expecting actually. If they can fix the whole "Welcome to Shooters" thing and ensure that the food was all hot, I'd give it 5 stars easy. But for now it will just be 4 stars. But definitely go check them out and see for yourself. read more

Great food and atmosphere for sports. Also family friendly for a sports bar. Highly recommend.

Loved the vibe! You walk in and it's very chill(music/tvs aren't too loud) but it still has the sports bar feel. Our server was very kind and checked in on us frequently, let us know updates on our food and kept our glasses full. The baked potato...oh my god phenomenal!!! The fried pickles were thin and crispy, so good! Would come here again 100% read more

The food was good. I had the brisket and onion rings and potato salad. I will eat there again. Service was great! We had a party of 12 and they handled everything perfectly. The only issue was that the gambling area was quite loud. read more

Once again two weeks in a row BURN'T CHICKEN STRIPS and all the Bartender Bella has to say after taking them back is, THE COOKS SAID THAT THE WAY THEY ALWAYS ARE ! Well after eating here for five + years, I know what burnt looks and tastes like. Shame on these cooks, the food is going downhill fast at Shooter's read more

A group of us (15 people) went to say goodbye to a friend who is getting deployed. We went on a Tuesday night at 8:30 pm. The place was not packed but had business. The tables available were dirty and we were ignored upon entering. We finally asked the bartender if someone could clean the tables and let them know we had about 15 coming. Once the tables were cleaned, a waitress came to take our drink order. Some of the group wanted to order food. We were told to hurry up because the grill closed at 9pm. We ordered and the food came quickly. Quality of the food was good. Around 9:20 the waitress came and asked if we could finish up because they wanted to get the plates and trays back to the dishwasher because he wanted to go home. The waitress then brought to-go boxes out and started to transfer our food into them and take the trays. It didn't stop there. The began clearing the condiments and other items from the table. By 9:45 we were asked to close out our bill because the waitress wanted to go home. After spending over $200 in drinks and food...we really felt unwanted. Its pretty sad that we try and go to a local establishment and get treated this way. A few of the group asked if they could order another drink and were told they could but would have to order at the bar and pay for each drink at time of order. The sad part was, we were the quiet group in the place. We ended up leaving! read more

Service was excellent as we sat outside enjoying some great weather. We had a full side of ribs with green beans and fries. The green beans had a lot of flavor and will order again. The ribs were fall off the bone, but on the dry side. The rub used on the ribs was on the spicy side. read more

A 'once in a while place' I may visit if in the area (my hometown), or if it has been a long time. The thing to try is the fried ribs--honestly, the app-sized portion is plenty, being pretty rich and expensive. The burgers are solid. Sides are ok. The staff is mildly attentive at best. At worst, it seems they'd rather be someplace else, and the feeling does not convey that you are a welcome guest--more of an annoyance. This is a non-chain sports bar that is worth a try--you probably won't be back for a while, however. read more

Great beer and a cheap price. My boyfriends hometown bar!! Such a cool little place. Super busy! Quick service and very friendly staff. The French fries are AMAZING. Ranch and chipotle ketchup are good :) Fun place to pass the time! read more

Shooters - Cheap beer :) - Sports Bars Near Me - O'Fallon, Illinois

Had the pleasure of visiting shooters and let me tell you, if you haven't gone you're missing out! The service was absolutely phenomenal. I had a sweet little blonde girl named kendyl as my bartender today and she was amazing. Not only did she deliver my food and drinks with a smile but a great attitude. If you are in the area and love cheap beer/great food, this is the place for you! And if you like sports it's even better! They have over 10 TV's (I stopped counting) nonstop playing sports. The environment is overall family friendly and I Will definitely be coming back! read more

Shooters is a great local bar and restaurant. This is a great place to watch a sporting event, have some drinks and order amazing barbecue. I highly recommend the deep fried ribs, this is the only place I've ever had them. I always order the deep fried ribs when I visit. They are baby back ribs that are deep-fried, they are extremely good. Also, they have four variations of barbecue sauce, all four sauces are very good. They provide good customer service and the atmosphere is amazing. read more

For a bar, they serve pretty good food. I ordered a platter with brisket and turkey, and sides of pit baked beans and sweet and sour coleslaw. I ate the brisket and half the sides, and took the rest home to hubby. It was GOOD. The Bloody was fancy, but the flavor was great. Service was okay and prices aren't bad. Would NOT be opposed to returning. read more

Sunday night out for a bite and drink with my lady, Shooter's not particularly crowded. Actually maybe one third full? Wanted to sit outside. Spoke to bartender who promised to have someone right out. 15 minutes nothing. Went back in and ran down a server. Promised to be right out. 10 minutes nothing. Nuff said. Been here before and service was just ok- tonight clearly not ok and will likely affect whether I choose to come here again, or not. Plenty of other, better options in area. read more

I was visiting family in the O'Fallon area and we went to Shooters for some food and drinks. Lots of TV' s for sporting events and plenty of room to have fun! Big selection of draft beers and full liquor bar as well. Food menu had a lot to choose from. I had a BBQ platter and it was very good. Portions were very generous. Service was attentive and very familar with the menu. Liked the place! Will go back when in the area. read more

Food was very good. Would recommend the deep fried ribs. Pretty busy when we went around lunchtime. Our server was very quick to assist us. read more

Shooters - Deep fried ribs, buffalo chicken mac, pulled pork nachos - Sports Bars Near Me - O'Fallon, Illinois

We ate at Shooters this afternoon (06/23/2024) around 4:30pm. Shooters had been recommended to me by co-workers on several occasions, so we decided to give it a chance. We walked in, and stood there for a decent amount of time before someone behind the bar shouted from a distance and told us we could sit wherever we wanted. So we found a table, and sat there for probably 8 minutes before being greeted by anyone, while three employees were sitting at the table right behind us rolling silverware into napkins. So we are in the restaurant for a good 12 minutes total without being greeted by a server, which wouldn't really be much of an issue if the restaurant was particularly busy, but it really wasn't. I ordered the buffalo Shrimp Po' Boy with onion rings and sweet & sour cole slaw. My wife ordered the cod cutups with potato salad and onion rings. The pictures of the onion rings we saw on Yelp before ordering looked fantastic, and they came to our table looking just like the Yelp pictures, so I was excited, but they weren't good at all. For some reason the onions were really really hard and far more difficult to bite through than any onion ring ever should be. They definitely need to be cooked longer even though the breading looked fantastic. The hush puppies were decent. We both liked them. The potato salad was good too. I also enjoyed the cole slaw. My wife said her cod would have been much better had it not been cooked so long. It was also really hard. My shrimp po' boy was alright, but nothing to write home about. Not something I would ever order again from there though. In fact, this is probably not an establishment we would ever consider revisiting in the future. We were extremely underwhelmed as a whole, which is disappointing because we love trying new places. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who has to drive a good distance, like we do, from Mount Vernon, when I could tell people to go right down the road to Peel instead. I'd give it two and a half stars if possible. read more

Nice, local watering hole and sports bar. Great bar food and bbq as well as a decent beer selection. Don't miss the deep fried ribs - they are simply amazing!!! You really can't go wrong with any of the smoked meats! Enjoy a cold beer - plenty in the bottle and they just installed a new digital draft beer menu (it's not connected to the web or untapped, but it'd be awesome if it was). Also, they could use a happy hour deal on Friday's with some food and drink specials. It would bring me in more often. Shooters is definitely worth a stop for some great food and a drink with friends. read more

Amazing good and atmosphere. Many large screen TVs. Wide variety of beers. I would highly recommend

I stopped by to get a Leinenkugel shandy and I was quite taken aback that they charged $6 for a draft summer shandy. I got charged for the imported beer price and it's brewed in Wisconsin and owned by Miller/Coors. Bartender could have been nicer and charged less! read more

If you like ribs and bbq, this is your place. Good drinks. It's a sport bar and a noisy place. Great salads if that your choice and with good smoked turkey. Very pleasant staff and friendly and accommodating. But it has 14 and more or less TV screens so you find something to watch and distract you from your date. Kidding. read more

The best BBQ we have had in a long time. New to the area we will return. Great service! Only thing is acoustics are horrible and it's loud when crowded. Still best around. read more

We actually order out and come here quite frequently. We Sat down and after watching the waitress, I believe that eventually, she said her name was Lisa, walk past us at least 4x, stand at the table where her friends were eating, laughing, looking at phones of her friends, walk past again, ignoring us each and every time. This didn't really bother us, we just figured ok well this must not be our waitress. Well to our surprise, in the fifth time of walking past us, 25 mins later, she comes past and says she'll be with us in a moment. Not a good start. She eventually took our orders. After about 35 minutes, and sitting there once again, watching our waitress laugh and have fun with her friends some more at the neighbor table, we got a "walk-by" asking us if we were ok. We said we will be when we get our food. She preceded to tell us it wasn't ready yet. . My thought was....how would you know? You've been standing at your friend's table for quite awhile now. Magically, she went in the back and within 4 mins our food was out. No further visits from the original waitress since she now recruited her coworker to handle the remainder of our visit (Ali S). Not everyone can handle being in the customer service industry. It's ashame that I won't be back to this place after years of patronizing it, but there's too many restaurants in the area that have great food and actually have great service as well. read more

I will never visit O'Fallon without coming to Shooters for lunch! I loved everything about it - from the spot in Downtown to the diverse crowd it was great. We ordered beer and the nachos made with house made potato chips to start and it was so delicious! I knew I needed some sort of vegetable so I ordered a house salad with Brisket and it was excellent. My friend and I split the two items and easily took home a whole 3rd portion after both being stuffed. The staff was friendly, good delicious, atmosphere welcoming, and drinks cold - what more could you want?? read more

This place is always packed. If you like watching sports and socializing, try this place.

The food is delicious. Service is great once you're acknowledged. It's sports bar and grill, but family friendly.

Fun fact, the drawers behind the bar are because it used to be a HARDWARE STORE! The building was first built in 1928 and the hardware store closed down in 1999! This restaurant did a great job of keeping the nostalgia while also modernizing the facility. We sat at the bar and the service was too notch. Our drinks never went dry and he was super polite. The chicken tenders here are AMAZING! They are also know for barbecue - but honestly I LOVE the honey mustard. They also have GREAT brisket and sweet potato fries!!! read more

Shooters is in the perfect location, especially with all the great ball players who grew up in the local area. Shooters has some of the best BBQ options outside of Kansas City. I know good BBQ and good options. I know good sides and good prices. Shooters checks all of these boxes and is a great spot to catch a game. Shooters has very knowledgeable people who frequent the area. They are some of the most impressive people I have ever met. I don't plan on drinking in public ever again, but I do plan to catch a game, get more BBQ and bring some KC people in for a taste testing, getting their feedback on my opinion of the place. I like being able to get a good meal that makes me feel like I'm back home. Keep in mind when you go to this sports bar, you have former athletes who all know their sports because they lived what some of us dream of. read more

Went on a Sunday evening at 8:15pm. Ordered drinks(took awhile) and some apps. We were asked if we wanted to order food or wait, we asked for a few more min, waitress came back at 9 to "check" on us, we said we need to put our order in. She said I'm sorry but kitchen closes at 9 and I didn't know you were wanting to order food. That should've been stated to us at the 8:15 visit and we would've ordered then. Since it was her fault she apologized and went to ask the kitchen for a few minute exception and was told no. Went for dinner in plenty of time and left with no dinner. Disappointed. read more

Table service was great, but the bar is the slowest in history. Ordered a drink for the final three innings of a baseball game. It did not arrive until the bottom of the 9th. Meanwhile the bartender is chatting with customers and doing a FaceTime call with a friend. Check the bartender working before you sit down. read more

I was really impressed with how inexpensive a meal and two beers were here. This is quintessential sports bars with tons of TVs, sports decor, and the associated drinks a food. There was tons to choose from drink-wise. I got two tall drafts, and a chicken sandwich for $20. Staff was very accommodating of our large group too. Heads up that it is seat yourself though. read more

Great tasting food, generous servings and great service. It's a noisy place in the evenings but lots of fun.
