The pulled pork at this restaurant is the best in town! The service was also excellent with very helpful and accommodating staff. We were on an unsupported makeup ride for Ride the Rockies and were in desperate need of food. We were pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the food. Thank you so much!

The food was delicious! However, the Hispanic lady working behind the counter was very rude and greatly affected our dining experience.

I guess when you order a 1/2 rack of ribs to go and the guy asks if you want them frozen or microwaved you really should know that this is not a BBQ place. But I went ahead and got them,microwaved. And as expected, very disappointed. It may be Colorados best BBQ, but they couldn't stay open in Texas. Lesson learned.

We have eaten BBQ from Georgia to California. We like all kinds like St.Louis style and tangy Georgia ribs. This BBQ was the worst. Partner had a pulled pork sandwich and said it was blah. His Mac and cheese was great with bits of jalapeños. His banana pudding was too sweet. I had ribs, they were tough and the silver skin had not been removed. There was NO smoke flavor on either meats. The sauce tasted like ketchup with Worcestershire sauce. My potato salad was good. It was made with mayo and dill. It needed salt and pepper. Drive on to Telluride or Ridgway for a better meal.
