Shotgun Eddys
The gathering place for locals, travelers, hikers, and adventurers exploring Southern Illinois — fire pits, live music, and a patio under the trees.
Hand-pattied burgers, smoky wings, stacked breakfasts and wood-fired pizza — made from scratch and built for big appetites after a day on the trail.

Tossed in buffalo, BBQ, or our signature whiskey glaze.
Every weekend the patio comes alive. Local bands, open-mic nights, and a crowd that knows how to have a good time under the Southern Illinois sky.
"We rode in dusty off the trails and left full and happy. The burgers are massive, the patio is gorgeous, and the band Saturday night was a blast. This is THE stop near Garden of the Gods."
"Brought the whole family after hiking the River to River Trail. Kids menu was a hit, breakfast all day is a lifesaver, and the staff treated us like regulars on day one. We'll be back every trip."
"Best catfish basket in Southern Illinois, hands down. The fire pits make the patio perfect on a cool evening and the prime rib on weekends is unreal. A true local gem in Eddyville."
"Karaoke night was the most fun we've had in months. Great drinks, friendly crowd, and a real Southern Illinois vibe. Camped nearby and this was the highlight of the whole weekend."
