Deep fried Ribs. Need I say more? Ok fine... So the waitresses are slow. Bartenders usually are too. This is the place to go if your an over 30 single woman in the O'Fallon area. It wasn't too far from my house at the time. Walking distance actually. I came here a few times after work and it always had slow service and the ratio of guys to girls was like 10 to 1. I liked coming here to watch a few minutes of sports and have a beer. The lighting sucks. I have to say you really don't know what someone looks like until your 5 feet from them. Too late. Now you have to say hi. Their deep fried ribs are honestly the highlight of this place. I had never had anything quite like it. read more

Neat bar - its in the old hardware store in downtown. Great service - friendly & fast server. Good food. Definitely recommend a cheeseburger or the Pulled Pork Nachos - both delicious! Only complaint....they were out of French fries!! WTF?!?!?!? Server told us that the truck hadn't come in yet with the fries which means they are frozen and not homemade, which is also disappointing. Try it out if you're looking for some good and decently priced bar food or a neat bar to hang out at. read more

I really like Shooters. They have homemade blue cheese dressing that goes great with the pulled pork salad. I also like that the salad has cheese on it. I've read some of the comments about bad service but I never experienced bad service at Shooters. When I go I either get the ribs, the pulled pork salad, or the chicken fingers. All are great. read more

Because I love BBQ so much, you would think I would be thrilled to have this place so close to home. Unfortunately, I am not thrilled. When Shooters first opened, their food was really good. But lately quality has really dropped. Don't get me wrong, there is still some decent food on the menu, but overall this place is in decline. My most recent trip I had ribs. They were just plain bad. They were tough, fatty, and tasted weird. The only redeeming quality of this place right now is the atmosphere and the bar. Please improve your food Shooters. read more

Stopped here because of a recommendation from my dad's friend. Seems to be a good place for a sports bar - lots of TVs to watch the action. Ordered the beef brisket sandwich and found it to be much drier and chewier than I like. Shared the ribs and found those to be great. If I come back I'd skippy the brisket and stick with the ribs. read more

Still sitting here at shooters an hour after arriving and ordering with still no food, many empty cups, and having to request my salad a second time. A full hour later. One of my fellow diners ordered chips and salsa as an appetizer. It only took about 15-20 min before those came out...and there was definitely nothing special about them. We joked that they struggled with opening the bag and jar of salsa. At 45 min, the server came out and said there are "just a few" tables ahead of us. This is not a "quick lunch" kind of place and although I understand that it gets busy, it's ridiculous that they don't plan for a big lunch rush. It's like there is only one person cooking and two servers in the entire place. Oh yay, our food is here. Maybe it'll be gourmet. Or then again, maybe it'll just be edible. read more

What can I say this place is great for everything!! The deep fried ribs are the best thing since sliced bread and if you haven't tried the fried corn and green beans you should. This place is great to just hang out for a drink and watch the game on their many big screens or take the family out for a impressive dinner. I think its hard to mix a bar/restaurant atmosphere together but this place has it down pat that's for sure. I would recommend this place for anyone and I have had about everything on the menu and its all great food but the ribs are hard not to order every time because they are for sure my favorite. read more

Lives up to the well deserved reputation. Really nice break from the chain sports bars. Simple menu but delicious and well prepared. A slice of sports bar Americana in a small town. I visit the area on business and I will come back on my next trip. read more

A fun sports bar located in downtown O'Fallon, IL. The town does have many of these so it's a good one to visit. Shooters has great food, drinks, and tons of sports. What could be better? Definitely a fun hangout for the locals on the weekends after 9pm. read more

Stayed at hotel before flight out. Found Shooter's on Yelp. Looked like a good place to grab dinner and drink. Waitress at Bar was right on us when we sat at the bar. Ask for Debbie. Had the jambayla stuffed wings wife had 2 meats brisket and ribs w onion wings and salad. The whole meal was top shelf w onion rings Cooked perfect. Definitely will be back!!! read more

Service was terrible. Most of the restaurant went to the bar to get their own drinks because the staff was too distracted. The bartender was too busy socializing to pour drinks. And the place was crazy loud. We sat forever waiting for someone to serve us. Not long after, a group of nurses came in. We advised them to walk to the restaurant at the other end of the block. Wish we had done the same. Won't be back at Shooter's. read more

The barbeque was pretty good and they had multiple sauces to choose from.

The Carolina wings were awesome! My husband loved his ribs. We tried all the BBQ sauces and it was hard to pick a favorite! The service was very friendly, too. read more

I do like this place. The brisket, turkey and wings are excellent. I had the ribs and the first two pieces were good. The rest was mostly fat. Also disappointed that they do not carry brandy read more

Very nice place. Huge bar with a really good assortment of drinks, beer and wine included. The menu is smaller with a heavy bbq section. I was a bit worried since I've never been to a bbq place in which the serving size matched the price, but I was pleasantly surprised by the portion for the price. The pulled pork is served dry with sauces at the table, and the sandwich was very good sized. The fries were shoestring cut and wonderful. The wife didn't like the green beans, but the sausage sandwich she got was very good. If you're looking for good bbq and Goff prices for it, I would put shooters up near the top on the east side. Better than the chain places by a mile. read more

Excellent BBQ. Excellent service from friendly, attractive servers. Excellent beer selection. 14 huge LED HD TV's. Always a good crowd. Fair prices. read more

Decent food and ok prices.. A bit loud. Brisket a bit dry, shrimp app oily.. Wish there were more option with chicken. My husband likes to eat here. I always get the choose where we eat so when I gets to choose he likes to come here read more

Great food, great value, relaxed environment and plenty of space. Lots of food for the price. Have been several times and never had a bad experience. Would definitely recommend. read more

Great BBQ! I've literally tried everything on the menu multiple times and I'd eat every selection again! Plenty of great tasting food at reasonable prices. A beer menu that constantly changes and friendly, attentive waitstaff. The same cannot be said of a similar sounding restaurant in Fairview Heights. read more

It is way loud in here. Tons of tv's for watching the game. Piggy wings: tasty, but tough on the outside. Could be a meal by the selves. Fried pickles: average, nothing to write home about. Brisket: awesome, very tasty. Try it with the St Louis sauce. Onion rings are just awesome. Yum yum yum! read more

LOVE this place!!! I love BBQ and it is amazing having such an awesome BBQ joint nearby. The service was amazing and so was the food! If you come here you will not be disappointed!! Great night life too! read more

One of by favorite places to go. The bartenders are very friendly and quick. I have never had to stand around and wait on a drink. Even on busy nights like Friday. They also have half price beers on monday. read more

Went in there the other day to watch a Cardinals game very chill sports bar with lots of tvs with good barbecue. Wide array of beers with a friendly staff. Overall great place. read more

My husband and I have been a few times. The place is clean, friendly and the staffs prompt. We enjoyed the food and the simple menu. The brisket sandwich was the best. Also the wings were very tasty just not that spicy. The atmosphere is typical sports bar with all the games being shown at once. My only thing about this place is that the music is very loud. I think much too loud for children under 10. For me that is the only drawback. It doesn't keep us from going back, we just know we'll have to talk loud when we are there. We think this place is great and if you are in the mood for barbecue we highly recommend Shooters. read more

My favorite local BBQ on the Illinois side of the river. I play pool league out of here on Monday nights. The Pool table is a great table.

Service can be slow sometimes but the food is worth the wait. Anything they sweet smoke is good. Deep fried ribs are a must try. I typically get the brisket with onion rings. Best onion rings I've ever had. Parking can be a problem also. read more

We always eat at the bar and have never experienced issues with service. The bartenders are awesome, and take excellent care of their customers! Burgers are great, Carolina wings are AMAZING, and of course anything barbecued is their specialty. Definitely worth a visit or two. read more

We have been to this place several times recently. The meat is always absolutely GREAT! Tender, juicy, and flavorful. The sauces add that "kick" to meat and are also great. The one down side to this place are the side dishes. The corn is seasoned with something that gives it a hint of Mexican, which we don't like. When we order corn we expect 'corn'. The way it tastes right off the cob. The pit roasted beans taste like they are laced with jalapeno juice. Again not to our liking. A good brown sugar baked bean dish would go great with the meat dishes they offer, why try and fancy it up by throwing spices and peppers in to the pot? The coleslaw tastes almost spoiled. The sweet and sour is anything but. The creamy has little or no taste at all above the taste of the chopped up lettuce. The French fries and onion rings are so-so. We will go back for the meat but probably get double order of French fries because the other side dishes are so lacking. The sides do not measure up to the quality of the meat and they definitely don't complement it. read more

I normally do not post a review but I wasn't going to let this get by. I've been to Shooter's several times and the food has always been good, however I have to acknowledge the waitresses...they were awesome! We were there a few hours this past Memorial Day week-end and I saw the waitresses cleaning, moving stools and tables to sweep, and working their asses off! They displayed a work ethnic unfortunately not seen very often in the younger generation these days. When I commented to our waitress she said we do it for the customers. Great job!!! After reading other posts I will have to try the deep fried ribs, but their brisket is wonderful! Great sports bar as well!! Michelle R read more

Love the sweet and smokey wings and the fried sour pickles with the spicy sauce! Excellant beer selection.

As a customer I have never been treated so poorly by a business owner. Example 1: My family and our 16 month old son were eating lunch at 2pm on Thursday. Our son was squealing with delight about eating french fries. The owner came over and said, "I don't know what you are doing to make that kid scream but stop." My husband and I laughed it off thinking he was kidding, Instead he said, "No seriously, shut him up.". Why have highchairs and offer families the option to eat there if you don't want the business? Example 2: We ordered a to go order. Shooter's stated it would be ready in 20 minutes. I arrived at 25 minutes and waited another 15. Took the food home to discover the chicken was bright pink on the inside. I called Shooters in which they told me, "They temp. everything so it has to be cooked right and needed to see chicken." I mistakenly only brought one of the chicken back to them which they explained, "was a tendon not undercooked". I prefer not to eat pink chicken of any mean and know how too cook chicken. They didn't offer to comp my meal but rather challenge my judgement when I stated both breasts were undercooked. Poor customer service and regard to patrons wishes by owner not staff. The many many many times my family, friends, co-workers and I have attended Shooter's the staff has been wonderful and up until recently the food as well. The management and owner/cook, "John" has been horrid and will no longer receive my business. read more

A "Gem in the Rough"!Great atmosphere(but can get a bit noisey),GREAT brew selection!!!Excellent food esp.bbq!

We eat here often. One of our favorite things on the menu is the pulled pork or brisket. My husband and kids love the wings. The handful of sides to pick from are pretty good too. There is also a good selection of beer to choose from. Sometimes the service is a little slow, even when there not busy, but we keep ourselves entertained with all of the TVs. We have never been here and had to wait for a table, but we don't go super late. If you are looking for good "bar" food, you can't go wrong here. read more

Hi here's a review of Shooters. Visited the establishment 6/24/16 walked in I was not greeted. Stood there about 3-4 minutes no one asked if I need any help or if I wanted to be seated. Yes I'm African American and this place is about 5 minutes from my home. I stood there and decided to take a menu from an empty table walked to an empty seat at the bar and placed my order. I was not welcomed there and it was very obvious. I placed my order and paid for my food. It was okay! Will I go back yep, but not alone. I will not tolerate this in the city I live in. read more

Love there wings good place to eat in and the bars nice to catch some of the game good time good crowed

One of my favorite BBQ places anywhere. The jambalaya stuffed wings are amazing, as are the regular smoked wings. Any time we are in St. Louis we try to make a stop there. They also have a great beer selection. read more

(In the effort of full disclosure, I don't eat red meat, so my food review of a BBQ place is a little skewed.) Shooter's is the newest addition to downtown O'Fallon. It is first and foremost a bar, just one that happens to have lunch and dinner. The building is really nice, in a row of historic buildings on First St. They have put a lot of work into it, and it's big, open and clean. There are t.v.'s EVERYWHERE; this is no doubt a sports bar. There is one pool table and a few video sports games (Golden Tee and the like.) I've only been here at lunch time, so I'm not sure of the nighttime crowd. The food is BBQ. The menu is small: various barbecued meats offered at plates or sandwiches, burgers, chicken wings. There are a few apps and salads as well. Everything I've had there has been pretty good, but like I said, I don't eat red meat, so I am not the best judge of barbecue. Their roasted corn side is quite good, with lots of garlic and spices. The staff is very friendly and the prices are VERY reasonable. read more

I took my wife out to Shooter's last night after reading so many good reviews here on Yelp. Shooter's is by far, in my opinion, the best BBQ I have ever had before! We started with the medium chicken wings as an appetizer. THE BEST!!! I ordered the half rack of ribs and was simply amazed how delicious they were! Shooter's staff was great and the restaurant was very clean. It was quite busy and loud, but we were expecting that from other reviews. There were families with children dining here and next time we go, we are taking our children with us. The only complaint I have is there was no drink menu available. They have a board above the bar with beers on tap and white and red wines available, however there was an incredibly well stocked cooler with tons of different beer bottles available and unless I was to get up from my table and walk to the bar, I had no idea what all was stocked in the cooler. Shooter's is a "must-go" for BBQ! We will definitely return! read more

I travel the country with the AF and look for the best wings everywhere...Shooters has consistently been #1. The sweet and smokey are awesome, awesome fries, great beer selections, great service and pretty inexpensive to boot. Other food items look good too, but it would be a shame if you didn't try the wings. Cool part of town too. read more

I had the opportunity to have the 6oz pulled pork sandwich (comes in 6oz or 8oz portion), potato salad, and onion rings. The pulled pork sandwich was very well flavored however, it was just a little dry. The potato salad is made with red potatoes which is different, but good. The onion rings were awesome! They seemed hand cut, the batter was seasoned well and it is served with a horseradish which pairs well. I also tried the baked beans which were awesome . they had just enough heat to balance the sweet and savory elements. The burgers are great as well. They had that handmade, rustic look and were full of flavor not to mention perfectly cooked. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the service was not great considering my family and I were the only ones there (went went at 3pm on a Tuesday). I will definitely be going back because the food is really good and prices are fair. It is worth the experience! read more
