Red Shanty Cafe - Inhale the aroma of some of the best barbeque in Missouri while you take a look around. This unique emporium and cafe originated from a small package liquor store, which now offers a large selection of import & specialty beers, domestic & import wines, spirits of all kinds, various novelties, tackle & live bait. Red Shanty Barbeque & Roadside Cafe a Lafayette County original restaurant is a mosaic of time salvaged from a Tabo Creek corn crib, a Lexington finishing school, a Bates City barn, the Concordia Co-op, a Mayview farmhouse, Leidigh Lumber Co., a Sears & Roebuck mail order barn in Freedom Township, and the KCI Airport.
