    My next try
    Susan G.

    Food: best bbq I've had in Colorado to date. Try their ribs, turkey, shrimp and chicken. Excellent green chili and awesome tortillas. Brisket kicks butt, too, but their poultry and seafood is where they truly shine. Ambiance: [[HIGHLIGHT]]great mix of indoor and outdoor spaces with live music on the weekends and great space heaters to keep their magical secret garden cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service: sweet wait staff and friendly employees. Definitely a good vibe.

    Service was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's an interesting little spot, cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We picked our own seats out on the back patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We stopped here before a show at the Red Rocks. I had the raspberry blonde 4 noses beer. Very good, very light and refreshing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute outdoor patio next to park area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The burnt ends weren't impressive but maybe it's just because I've been spoiled in Missouri and Kansas. Chicken wings okay. Server was really nice and everything came out quickly. I think if I went back I'd try some of the other smoked meats, or sandwiches because those looked fire!!!

    I want my baby back, babyback....and st.Luis ribs! Delicious!

    Burnt ends sandwich with a side of coleslaw

    The wait staff was friendly. The place was pretty packed for 8 PM in a strip mall. The back patio seems like it was pretty great. They had live music. We meat inside because it was quite rainy. The sandwiches were a bit on the small side and I don't think anybody was very impressed with the barbecue outside of those who ordered the ribs . But, the ribs were great. The coleslaw has a sweetness to it, with apples and pineapple cut up in it. It's very unique and not bad. A lot of folks loved the mac & cheese who had ordered it. I thought it was just OK. I think this is the type of place you go to enjoy drinks and music, and ribs . I would be back for that reason only.

    1/2 Sampler
    Ilona K.

    Had a beautiful hike to St. Mary Glacier and decided to stop by Genesee Pub and BBQ on the way back home. The atmosphere of this place was incredible! I recommend sitting outside, outdoors sitting is special with all the beautiful trees, mountain bike trails, and patio live music. I believe during warm weather they have live music on the weekends but I am not 100% sure. Food was ok, we got a sampler to share. Based on the description it feeds 4 hungry people, I can verify that, there was quite a lot of food. However, the brisket and pulled pork were dry as for my taste. I'd give food quality a 4 but the outdoor patio and the vibe deserve a 5. I was debating between 4 and 5 but considering friendly service and outdoors vibes I decided to give this place 5 stars.

    Waffle fries
    Bill Joe A.

    The fried foods were fried too long in the frying basket? I can taste the old grease than the actual food. Ordered brisket sandwich - brisket was very dry, so obviously not fresh. Under $40 for my wife and I, so edible place for a decent price.

I said it was the best burger I ever ate. My husband, whose hobbies include crushing joy with logic, said, "No it wasn't. It was an ordinary burger. You only think it's amazing because you almost died." Had to settle that debate, so we tried it without the kill-me-hike warmup this time. Food I don't like my burgers swimming in their own juicy filth. And these burgers are dry, juicy, beefy, and didn't almost drown in their own fat. Even the bun (brioche, I think) stayed dry as summer heat. Plus, their fries are that kind that almost seem battered. Crisp on the outside, potato-y on the inside. We also tried the deviled eggs, which was a nice update to an old classic. Atmosphere This is perfectly casual with outdoor dining (great for dogs). Big umbrellas and coverage from the summer sun. I've never eaten inside because why. Service Perfectly competent. Nobody gave us a pony. Nobody accidentally set us on fire. The food arrived quickly, while the check took its own scenic route through the restaurant. Everyone was friendly. No complaints. Value Expensive burgers at $18-22 each. But I only have burgers a few times a year, so when I do, I'm going to demand one of these from now on.

    Solid 5 stars for a buffet (probably a solid 4 just as a pizza place)…read more This is our second time stopping here on vacation -- going back to Woody's was actually one of the reasons we wanted to hit Golden again. It's on the south side of the main downtown drag. It gets quite busy even at off-peak times, so there's usually a wait of some kind. Head up to the door, get on their list, and they'll call you when your seats are ready. We got a little lucky since there were only two of us and there was open bar seating -- we sat at the bar, had a beer, and did the pizza buffet from there. It's not just a buffet, either. You can order off the menu, get your own personal pizza, or do a two-slice-and-a-salad deal, which is a cheaper version if you don't want the unlimited all-you-can-eat. They also have a full-service bar with cocktails, beer, and everything else you'd want. Salad bar -- one of the best buffet-type salad bars I've found. It's not the largest -- the salad section doesn't go on for miles, it's actually a pretty small setup -- but everything is fresh and the range of ingredients is big. Fresh salads, multiple dressings, several crunchy toppings, a bunch of vegetables, black olives, peppers, and two or three different proteins to add. Really, really like it. Also included with the salad bar buffet is their beer soup -- kind of a cheese soup. I skipped it this time since I didn't want to get that full, but I've had it in the past and it's super solid. Definitely something to try on a cold day. Pizza buffet, under $20/person -- there's a window with all the pizza sitting out, usually four to six at a time, right behind where they're making and cooking them. You can walk up and request whatever you'd like -- the chefs are right there, so you can say "hey, can I get a barbecue chicken pizza?" and they'll put one together and set it in the window. The range is usually about three normal pizzas -- pepperoni, supreme, plain cheese -- and three odder ones, like a buffalo chicken or a beef barbecue cheddar. I also saw one with ricotta and prosciutto. So they're not just doing standard pies; there's a really big range to choose from. The pizza quality is good. I wouldn't call it super thin crust, and it's not super thick where the toppings are -- but the edge of the crust is a thicker, doughy handle you can grip and gnaw on, and it's very tender and flavorful. If you're a crust eater, you'll like this crust, and you can dip it in sauces or dressings from the salad bar. Service was top notch and everybody there was friendly. One thing that stood out: the bartender asked the guy sitting next to us if everything was good, and he said he was just waiting on a buffalo chicken pizza. She called straight over to the kitchen and had them cook one. They still put it out on the buffet, but he got exactly what he wanted. Pro tip: Under $20 a person might sound like a lot, but come hungry and it's a steal. I ate probably fourteen slices -- I drove down here with the intent to get full, and it wasn't a bad full. Highly suggest going, and I'd return if I find myself in Golden, Colorado again.

    If I lived here (Denver) I would pretty much live here (Woody's)…read more The soup, salad, and pizza combo buffet is where it's AT! The beer cheese soup is where it's AT!

I love huckleberry and will always get it if available and this did not lead me astray. We started with crab dip which was a hit even with our baby.

    The modern world forces a person to make too many final decisions. You must commit to a career, a…read moremortgage, and a twenty-ounce glass of alcohol before you even know if you like the taste of it. The Golden Mill rejects this entire high-stakes arrangement. Instead, they hand you a plastic card embedded with a microchip and invite you to wander around a historic, converted flour mill, conducting small, low-risk experiments on your own nervous and digestive systems. The mechanics are blissfully simple. You hand the host a credit card, they link it to a Golden Mill RFID card, and you instantly become a fully automated, self-regulating consumer. There are forty taps on the main wall downstairs and another sixteen up on the roof. They hold local craft beers, macro brews, ciders, wines, sake and even some premixed cocktails, all metered by the ounce. This setup creates a very specific kind of human delusion. When you are only pouring three ounces of a hazy IPA or two ounces of a heavy stout, your brain convinces itself that the laws of mathematics have been temporarily suspended. They have not. The ounces eventually conspire against you, and the tab can quietly evolve into a profound financial surprise the next morning. If you happen to get hungry during your experiments, there are five different food concepts scattered around the floor, covering everything from wood-fired barbecue and street tacos to sushi and fried chicken. If you are traveling with a group of friends whose dietary preferences have absolutely nothing in common, you can all wander off in different directions like stray livestock and reunite at the same table without a single argument. We took our glasses up to the rooftop patio. The view there is a strange study in scale. Below you is the rushing water of Clear Creek. Directly across the street sits the colossal industrial fortress of the Coors Brewery, churning out millions of barrels of macro-lager for the masses. There is a grand, quiet irony in standing on a roof, meticulously pouring four ounces of a highly specialized, small-batch sour beer while staring at one of the largest single-site breweries on the planet. When you are done, there is no agonizing wait for a server to bring a leather folder, and no competitive arithmetic over how to split the bill. You simply drop your plastic card into a collection box by the door and walk out into the Colorado night. The system automatically tallies your ounces and appends an 18% service fee to keep the house running smoothly. It is a wonderfully frictionless way to watch an afternoon accidentally become an evening.
