Another post-hike meal, and this time we were craving some BBQ. We stopped at Scooter's Smokehouse…read moreon the way out of town and were very glad we did! The restaurant was pretty busy on the Monday of Labor Day weekend, and the service was great. I went with the chopped brisket sandwich with fries. The brisket had great flavor and was nice and juicy. My favorite sauce was the Sweet Mild, while the Carolina Reaper sauce paired surprisingly well with the fries. The jalapeño potato salad is also another great option for a side. If you haven't already hiked Silver Dollar Lake or driven Guanella Pass, you should definitely check them out. Guanella Pass is especially beautiful this time of year with the aspens starting to change colors. Definitely a great stop after exploring the area! #cleanyourplate

What a nice treat to…read moreget some good southern BBQ and hospitality from this business and the sweet owner and her sons. I got a brisket plate with green beans and mac n cheese + sweet tea and they all hit the spot! Good portions as well, I appreciated how creamy the mac n cheese was. Not picture is the must have sweet bbq sauce you can self serve (they have a spicy one too). This is a solid, good quality bbq spot, I'm surprised this was available in the area! This place is worth a stop for lunch or after a good hike. There are a few bar seats by the window (so not a full sit down restaurant) and I was to get one without issue and line moves fast, they are efficient and provide great customer service! Visited a couple of weeks ago around lunch time. August 2026. I'd return! Keep up the great work.

What has happened to Busey Brews? I recall a fun spot where wait staff would discuss and encourage…read moreyou to try different beers and talk with you about specials, etc. I recall meeting the friendliest staff in Ned. Yesterday we went in for an early dinner, and the host could not have been more rude. Tall guy with the bird on his neck (tat). We wanted to discuss beers and the special. Bird guy said, "what, you can't use the QR code?" Actually, in this day and age, a restaurant that still uses QR codes to order is a sign that they simply want to save money and not employ polite staff. Finally, a pleasant enough woman took our order. Because really their attitude was, "we are doing you a favor by waiting on you". The food and beer was as good as usual but the staff were as rude and unhappy as I've ever seen. And I've worked in the restaurant industry a while. We will be frequenting the pizza place next door from now on and avoiding the unfriendly Busey Brews atmosphere. thank you very much.

Soooo delicious, I'd drive the 45 min here again just for the ribs. - Burnt-Ends sandwich, also 10/10 - Baked beans: 9/10. Really great, a couple kinds of meat in there made them extra delicious. The sauces were pretty underwhelming, but the meat was so good it wasn't a dealbreaker. I mixed the blue (Kansas City) with the hot and it went well. Cornbread was good, a little dry but not bad. The coleslaw was quite dry and bland. Mixing with the mustard-based bbq sauce elevated it considerably. Overall, strong meats, good sides, and perfect dining room environment for a BBQ spot. Would eat here again - and I'll be ordering the ribs.

We saw that this place had taken over the property which if I call was formally Ruby Tuesday which we miss because of the salad bar. So we headed out west to do what we were going to do, got done than started thinking about our options of where to fill our stomachs. We've been to most of the chains that are in that particular part of town and we finally decided this was the best option as it was new to both of us and in my opinion how can you go wrong with BBQ? Loved the ambiance!! Military themed ! Which i respected and to be honest even if the food was trash I would still give it at least 4 stars because I am very strong in believing that our service members deserve all of our gratitude and thanks as well as 1st responders. If i would have saw anyone in uniform I would have gladly paid thied bill!. Anyway you order at the counter and pick up your order at the counter when your name is called and its general seating which is booths, tables and outdoor seating. The ribs were delicious meat was fall off the bone never even had to pick one up. Brisket was offered 2 different ways, juicy or lean, we both opted for juicy. Delicious as well. I had the jalapeño and cheese sausage as well which in my opinion leaned more towards the cheesy aspect but you were able to taste the jalapeños. The baked Mac and Cheese was a little dry in my opinion but it kinda seems to be that everywhere that offers baked Mac and cheese so maybe I just need stop ordering that item. The baked beans were good as well but im not a huge fan of warmed beans but they were still good nice chunks if brisket included. The sauces in my opinion I thought they were a touch watery but had nice flavors. All in all we enjoyed our meal and honestly I wasn't aghast by the bill $65 with 2 " Never Forget" cups to go.where a portion of the proceeds go to a foundation. I will definitely go back and recommend you to go as well. 5 stars

The service was as impressive as the food. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind. Even with the morning rush, they kept things moving smoothly and made us feel appreciated as customers. It's easy to see why people were lined up before they opened. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. I highly recommend Biggie's to anyone looking for a fantastic sandwich shop. We'll definitely be back.

Our favorite local BBQ spot! Truly some of the best BBQ you can get in Colorado. We recently used…read morethem to cater our wedding, and the food was absolutely delicious. The owners are fantastic and were wonderful to work with when I placed & picked up our catering order. The only downside was the customer service from the staff working the counter. It took four phone calls over several days to finally connect with someone who could help me place the order, despite being told multiple times that someone would call me back. Unfortunately, the interactions I did have with the counter staff, both over the phone and when picking up our catering order, were also pretty unfriendly. If the customer service at the counter matched the quality of the food and the service from the owners, this place would truly be unstoppable. That said, we'll absolutely continue coming back, the BBQ is fantastic, and the owners' customer service more than makes up for where the rest of the team is lacking.
