Dionne WaughSeptember 28, 2015Incredible BBQ! Share the platter and enjoy it all! Original sauce is the best. Baked beans are unique and some of the best I've ever eaten. Also try the stuffed pulled pork potato skins! WOWSERS!
Monica KimMay 30, 2019wow this place was so good! Food is delicious, flavorful, and fresh. I love a good bbq meal, who knew one of the best bbq spots was in Estes park! Small, but well curated beer selection.- Eli ShayotovichMay 4, 2014Sit at the bar and keep Matt company. Order some fried pickles, then order the Dave's Triple Plater with ribs, pulled pork and the best damn brisket you'll ever have! The baked beans are uh-mazing!
Seriously some fantastic BBQ. I'm usually spoiled on the Kansas City bbq near home and something of a bbq snob. Some of the best, juiciest pulled pork I've had. Highly recommended!
Ken SellersJune 1, 2017Had a good lunch for two. The brisket and pulled pork sandwiches, and fries, were good. Good service. We were glad we stopped in.- Carol CecilAugust 9, 2015Get one of the specials where it also comes with sides. The brisket along with some fries and the corn casserole were great. It also was served with a piece of cornbread.
- Stephanie MurphyAugust 17, 2017We chose a platter with 3 options / chicken, brisket and ribs - very good! The jalapeño hush puppies were meh 🤔
Vanessa OzunaMarch 17, 2016Omg, everything was delicious, me and my girlfriend went for the 1st time and service and food are amazing
John FisherApril 26, 2016Had Dave's double, brisket and sausage, both were great. Sausage can be spicy. Baked beans and grandma's potato salad were excellent
SlimJenkinsSeptember 12, 2017Like everybody else said, their baked beans is off the chain. Also their string beans. String beans got bits of bacon in it for some crunch and some onions.
Nick LipetzkyAugust 1, 2013Service was great. Food was great. Read reviews that said reservation was recommended. I called, they were booked but said to come in and they'd find a spot. Be sure to stop here.- Jonathan RiveraOctober 20, 2014Pulled pork was delicious but the baked beans stole the show for me. All around pretty solid BBQ, will definitely come back.
David BFebruary 21Everything is delicious! Around our table we had ribs, brisket, sausage and chicken. Not a bit left on the bone.
Scott ClarkJuly 7, 2013Mixed bag -- brisket was watery and greasy; ribs tasted great and were very meaty, but tough and chewy; runniest red beans & rice I've ever had; but my wife loved her pecan pie!
Carolyn MillerJune 4, 2013Ribs, green beans and sweet potato fries. Amazing! Red beans and rice just like momma used to make.
Bill DAlessandroJuly 21, 2017Authentic, delicious smoked meat. Get the classic - pulled pork, baked beans, Cole slaw.
Magda KOctober 15, 2012The pulled pork & burger were both delicious. HUGE portions. But there were flies everywhere. It ruined the meal. At the end a fly fell into my plate. Shame because the food is really delicious.
Monti BraySeptember 7, 2016Come here hungry because the platters are to die for! Original BBQ is the way to go.
Jediah CumminsMay 10, 2016The beef short ribs were huge and quite filling, try a variety of sauces as they all had a great flavor profile!
Raluca MihalachioiuJanuary 14, 2014The trout with sweet potatoes is just delicious! I also had a rasberry wheat - a local flavoured beer :)
Andrew C.September 8, 2013Not great, but it's the only BBQ game in town. Go for the Pitmaster sandwich - great way to try three meats for cheap (well, as cheap as Estes Park gets)
Tina TFebruary 19, 2011Overall, a good place to eat & reasonably priced. Ribs were awesome. The country green beans were great. The corn on the cob was over cooked (mushy & chewy) & their margaritas were awful.
Erika LundOctober 24, 2015The wifi password is their phone number 9705777427 and the man handler burger was fantastic!!
Sarah GoldsteinDecember 26, 2012Best BBQ above 7000 feet. Brisket and pulled pork sandwiches were amazing! Service with a smile!
Benjamin ChristianJune 17, 2013Ribs are good. Pecan pie w/ ice-cream was pretty damn good too. Bazillion calories.
ᴡ HamlinJuly 21, 2015Ordered onion ring app & (hand-trimmed) brisket plate with BBQ Beans & coleslaw. App & dinner slow to arrive every item served barely warm/cold. Brisket was fat and tough. Rate D-. Won't return
Holly Bea-WeaverOctober 26, 2012Ale and cheese soup is awesome. Usually a discount coupon in local paper too
Jason LongshoreSeptember 2, 2013Hour wait get your reservation in early. Food and service not bad. Good place to get takeout
Troy Robinson™October 13, 2013Brisket was AMAZING, everything else....Not so much. Hard to drink Root Beer when they never bring it.

"Good deli counter and bakery options, as well as a nice organic selection of fruits and veggies, but this is not the place to pick up wine or beer. Go to Rambos for that."
