    Normally this is my go to place for bbq but today must have been their off day. I walked in and stood waiting for a period of time and did not receive assistance. I finally flagged someone down asking if there is anyone to seat someone. I was told they don't have host and be patient. I told her I'm being patient and was just asking. Also I was taken aback because she had no idea how long I've been waiting and to assume I'm being impatient. Didn't sit right with me. So I left.

    I ended going back to this place several times since my last review since it's very close to where I work and let me tell you, my mind has changed. Their service was still great but their food has improved tremendously. Maybe I just got unlucky the first time but I really have started enjoying going to famous Dave's on my lunch breaks. Their lunch prices are fair and they always give special coupons and deals which keeps me coming back!

    picture for before and picture for after , i think you can understand from the pictures , the only thing good there is the pepsi , waiting for 45 min to get that food and then just 5 min and we left , customer service was -45 , if you have an extra 45 min in your life and you want to waste it best plan is famous davis .

    Great service Teano Love the corn bread if I lived closer this would be a this would be my first choice

    The food and the service was amazing, our waitress was extremely friendly and made our visit very welcoming. I would definitely recommend.

    Amazingly disappointing! Let me start by acknowledging the staff. They were awesome, attentive, and very pleasant. Zero complaints about the service or the people. However the food was exceptionably bad. The brisket was dry like chalk and the wedge fries were entirely forgettable. The salad dressing was runny, almost like the Blue Cheese was watered down. The Roast chicken was good, moist, and had some flavor. The corn bread should be squares cut from a pan and fresh cooked, instead tasted like a store bought corn muffin with a honey glaze spread on top. I was overall disappointed by a large margin. The restaurant sits on far too large a foot print (square space) for the business I saw there. For proof to my point, you need only look at the sad bar space that had less back stock of spirits and liquor than my own home cabinet. I sincerely doubt that the large bar area ever sees a crowd commensurate with its size. Any bar where the bartenders can lock the register and disappear for 10 minutes at a time, does not have the business it needs on a Saturday afternoon during football season. One of the rare 1 star ratings, I've ever dropped.

    The location is easy to get to. Plenty of parking and the inside of the restaurant was neat and tidy. Our server was super nice and made sure our waters were full. I ordered "burnt ends" from the menu. There is an upcharge for this item. I have had burnt ends in the past from other barbeque places and understand why there would be an upcharge. However, what came to the table was not burnt ends. It was diced up meat with a very dark sauce for the "burnt" look. This was disappointing. We were excited for the corn bread having heard how delicious it was. It came to the table and crumbled in our hands when we tried to eat it. Their pickles are great!

The brisket was tender, flavorful, and had that perfect smoky BBQ flavor without being overly heavy. The portion was generous too, and everything tasted fresh. Definitely one of the better meals I had while I was in Denver. If you're craving BBQ, especially brisket, this place is absolutely worth checking out. I'd happily come back next time I'm in town!

I also really liked that you could order in super small sizes such as 1 or 2 ribs and smaller than 1/4 lbs. of meat, really any size you'd like (I'm not sure how low it goes) this is awesome. GET THE COWBOY CANDY FOR $1!* *That is if you like sweet heat. It's a generous amount of jalapenos that are candied. One cup is enough for multiple people, IMO. You can bring your BBQ right over the Out Mutual Friend and they have a nice patio area right outside of Pit Fiend. Grab you a beer and chow down! For me, the sides were not a hit. The coleslaw tasted like it had sesame oil, or something, which wasn't necessarily a "bad" taste, but it's not the crisp, refreshing coleslaw I like to have to cut the already oily meats. It's too much, too heavy, and I could not come close to finishing it with the rest of my meal. I feel like the should change their oil-based recipe to something without oil. The elote I did not like, either. I tried the pit beans and those were fine. The cucumbers I feel are ridiculously priced at $5 for a 4oz cup, when an entire cucumber is $0.89. I understand it's a business, but to mark up a few pieces of cucumbers that high is wild to me. The sauces were, ok. The few I tried really didn't taste different from each other. I'm used to very clearly distinctly different BBQ sauces, especially when they go through that effort to explain them all on the sign/sheet of paper that is too hard on the eyes and long to read. A more aesthetically pleasing presentation of the explanations would be nicer to look at. The burnt ends sell out FAST! We were there pretty early, though it was on a Saturday afternoon around 2-3pm-ish, I believe, and they were already out! And the pit is right out front!

As I was driving down, the owner called me and let me know they ran out of corn fritters, and only had one order of burnt ends. I went with another order of brisket and changed to corn bread as my other side. I appreciated the call, he was on top of things! I picked up my food and ate it in my car. The beans were thick and full of meat pieces which I love. The corn bread was more like a corn cake. Super buttery and chewy, it was delicious...maybe the best corn bread I have ever had! On to the meats...........Burnt Ends- Meh...they were just ok. 2 pieces of the 6 were straight up fat, with no meat on them. A tad disappointed in that! The brisket was a little dry, but still tasty enough. Their regular bbq sauce is really good, and I dipped my brisket in that. Solid 3 meat plate minus the 2 shitty burnt ends pieces. Service was great! Cool guys running the spot. Would definitely come back if I lived in the area.

They taste healthy, you can't taste the smoked meat, but there wasn't any savory type flavor. Service was fast! Parking is easy. Tons of seating, restrooms, gorgeous area to sit near the river and with views of the mountain and Coors! Such a cute town and all their food is delish!!!
