28th N 9th Columbia Missouri
If I have it correct, and anything that has to do with memory is suspect I think that Shotgun Pete's use to be a shack in the parking lot of Parkade Center. It was on the opposite side of town, and had a relatively erratic schedule that kept me from being able to frequent it. Sometime last year it moved to the "District" in downtown Columbia. It is a good location, but again not one I find myself near except when I was accompanied by family members who were not so enamored with BBQ. I decided it had gone long enough. I invited my wife, and off we went.....
It was a pleasant experience. It has a nice decor, really makes you connect to the traditional BBQ experience. This is not a chain restaurant!
I had the brisket and my wife the pork. Both were good. The pork was traditional pulled pork, had a nice color and flavor. The brisket was a pulled brisket, with a nice flavor. It was a little dry for my taste, but agreeable. Following the lead of many restaurants it does not have fries, but offers a variety of sides. I tried the slaw and potato salad. I would have preferred to have fries... I do not understand why they think slaw needs to be spiced up. It is getting hard to find a BBQ restaurant that will not add horseradish or some other hot spice to their slaw.....I prefer the vinegar slaw and of course fries.
It was a nice experience and I would recommend it to anyone that is in Columbia.
