Not exactly what we were expecting because it was a food truck, but so glad we stopped by. Brisket sandwiches were delicious and my fried okra was hot, crunchy and flavorful. It was a beautiful day so we enjoyed sitting outside. read more

This place has had some ups and downs. It is currently in an upswing, with great brisket. I tried the grilled cheese with brisket and onion rings, and it was really good. Mom enjoyed her pulled pork and curly fries. read more

Creekside Smokehouse definitely has the best barbecue for miles and may very well be the best restaurant in LaJunta! I live in Denver and I am in town on a work trip and have been disappointed by pretty much every restaurant except for Lucy's tacos. Their ribs are as good as any BBQ joint I've ever eaten at, If you haven't eaten here yet, you should check them out! read more

Great hole in the wall spot. As is common in good BBQ spots, some meats were unavailable. I believe it was the owner and another worker had an impromptu Cornhole game while we waited. My wife hadn't had a good brisket until stopping here. We'll be sure to look for this place again when we're in the area. Highly recommended if you're in the area. Well worth the stop. read more

We love this hometown BBQ joint. It's a bit of a charming "hole in the wall," but they're making updates. My favorite is the Grilled Zeke, but can't wait to try some of the other sandwiches. My husband always gets the brisket. Staff is always friendly and service is great. Happy to have great BBQ! read more

History

Established in 2020.

We have been smoking brisket, pulled pork, ribs and sausage since 2020 and have had some interesting times along the way. Having dine in July 2021 till our tragic fire January 1st of 2022 are gaining ground on a great remodel and hope to have a completed dining room by year end but are still serving up delicious BBQ all year round.

It's become a job of passion and have been enjoying it every second even through the tough times we've recently faced but want you all to know that we are dedicated for the long haul to keep on bringing you the best quality food with the family service that should come along with it. Come on down and enjoy good company and some great food!!

What a great place to enjoy authentic BBQ, homemade sauces and sides. My husband had the pork ribs with brisket for me as a plate with sides of Mac and cheese and deep fried okra. All were prepared very well and servings were generous. Pricing is very reasonable for food and beverages. Our friendly conversations with Cora, our server, and Isaac, BBQ Master, closed our day in such a wonderful way! read more

Excellent bbq! My husband and I were on our way home from spending a month in Texas where we ate bbq for most dinners. Who knew we didn't have to go to Texas to eat the best! We ordered three meats - pulled pork, ribs, and brisket. All moist and delicious! The sides were excellent as well. We had macaroni and cheese, fried pickles and fried okra. We will definitely be back. read more
