We've been coming here for barbecue for years, and not once have we left disappointed. We usually sit outside since they welcome dogs on the patio, and it's become one of our favorite stops when we're heading up to our cabin in the mountains. The service has always been exceptionally friendly, and the food is consistently excellent. I especially love the smoked Philly, and their fries are hands down my favorite anywhere they're the perfect combination of chips and steak fries. Last night was especially enjoyable, with live music on the patio and a solo performer playing many of my favorite songs. It made for a great evening, and we only wished we could have stayed longer before getting back on the road. read more

We ate outside with our dog. Weekend brunch menu was solid and hard to decide from. The omelet with brisket was great. They even have a dog menu which Ollie got to enjoy. Our waitress was lovely and took great care of us. Oh and the spicy bloody Mary with the candied bacon was spot-on. read more

Totally unexpected find... the best clam chowder!!! Friendly staff, great atmosphere. Will definitely go here again. read more

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: great mix of indoor and outdoor spaces with live music on the weekends and great space heaters to keep their magical secret garden cozy. Service: sweet wait staff and friendly employees. Definitely a good vibe. read more

Service was good. It's an interesting little spot, cute. We picked our own seats out on the back patio. We stopped here before a show at the Red Rocks. I had the raspberry blonde 4 noses beer. Very good, very light and refreshing. Cute outdoor patio next to park area. 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!!! read more

Stopped in here after a lovely hike. We got here 15 minutes before they were actually open but they invited us in, took our orders, and before too long we had delicious and inexpensive Bloody Marys. We followed that up with their stuffed French toast - lime crema w/blueberry marmalade - be still my heart. We also had a perfect pancake and the ham skillet fajita style. Great service, amazing food. We'll be back! read more

Really fun when they have live music. The burgers are good, but the New England clam chowder was a little disappointing with too many potatoes. Service is good read more

Genesee Pub and BBQ - I want my baby back, babyback....and st.Luis ribs! Delicious! - Barbeque Near Me - Golden, Colorado

Who does love good BBQ? We were in search of a few things when we found all the great reviews about Genesee Pub and BBQ on Yelp. We wanted an outdoor patio to enjoy the warmer weather. Finding a spot closer to home is always a bonus - or a nice drive away from the city also works. Great reviews and pictures that got our attention. Yelp never disappoints. What started out with a lovely drive into the mountains ended with great BBQ, live music, and a fabulous view. The atmosphere at Genesee is pretty chill and relaxed. Their team of staff is fairly small but each person appeared to have their jobs dialed in and they coordinated fairly well. One note to improve would be the number of actual waiters/waitresses. There seemed to be only one person taking orders and she was quite busy. Their younger staff cleared tables and delivered food like a well oiled machine, but if you needed anything else, you had to zero in on that one person, lol. Their seating options are pretty diverse and there was plenty of room for large groups and well as smaller dyads and triads. If you were outside with us, you also had many options across the large tiered patio. Genessee Pub backs up to hiking trails and a gorgeous view of the mountainside. Now, the reason you're even reading this - the food! We ordered the slider sampler first and knew immediately, we made a good decision. The brisket was tender and the flavors reminded us of home, back in Texas. My partner ordered a sampling of their BBQ and I had their Green Monster sandwich (pork, cheddar jack and pork green chili with fresh guac). We shared bites - no sad eyes here. Mine was quite messy but don't let that stop you, lol. It was scrumptious. Def add Genesse to your list. The drive is fantastic, the food won't dissappoint and your views will be amazing also. And yes, when you park, you will be in a strip mall. Don't let that fool you. Genesse is a hidden gem! read more

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. read more

Amazing! Being celiac, I'm always skeptical when I walk into a restaurant. Jodi at Genesee was fantastic! Got me my bison burger (soooo juicy and flavorful!) on a gf bun, and I was a happy camper. She was kind enough to let me know the fryer for the fries might cross-contaminate. No one ever thinks of that! Comfortable setting, sports on the tvs. I'd definitely go back! read more

Wonderful food. The Green Monster is great. Wonderful service. I asked owner what he recommended. When he found out we were from Louisiana, he brought a bowl of gumbo to try. It was fantastic. Highly recommend. Don't miss out on a great place! read more

We went to try it out, we had never been there before. We sat outside, it was nice waited for a long time for someone to come. The menus were stained, and very worn, just cardboard and when we were done ordering she went to another table and handed them the menu. The food came, everything al-cart, I ordered the sausage, I got a 4 in length piece split in half for 17.00. Glad I also ordered the coleslaw for over 5.00 or I would have gone away hungry. We will not go back. read more

I love the food at the Genesee Pub, but they have taken to up charging for things that used to be included with your order. Example, ordered a baked potaato, the waiter asked want butter, bacon bits, and cheese. Yes, I wanted all the fixin`s. The bill came and I learned that butter added cost $.50, cheese $.50, and bacon cost an extra $1. So when you order something ask how much extra something costs. read more

Have to give this place 5 stars and our favorite place to eat as a family. I'm from Texas, so the BBQ doesn't knock my socks off best I ever had, but it is good. The half sampler plate is the best bang for your buck in the Denver area and comes with so much food. It feeds me, my wife, and 3 kids twice for $60. We can never finish and the next day we have a full dinner also. Staff is always friendly and nice so I have to go with 5 stars. read more

This was our first time visiting. The food was decent--exactly what you'd expect from a pub. Not great, not terrible. Service was mediocre at best. The two stars are for the following reasons: We ordered two beers, and one was already out of stock. When you only have three beers on tap, running out--especially on a Sunday during football season--is pretty unacceptable. We specifically chose this place to watch and hear the local team play. Before the game was even over, the owner turned off the sound and put music on instead. That's a big miss during football season. Super lame. read more

Stopped in for lunch after the whole Buffalo Bill experience. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. Food was delicious and served quickly. Decor was modern and very tasteful. Great spot!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

If you're looking for good barbecue and smoked meals, this is a place to be. Staff is friendly, good service, the food is well above average. Reasonably priced and consistent. Check out the patio, we rented the restaurant several times for events and it's perfect. The live music is also something to check out. read more

I really liked this spot in Genesee. It's right off the highway so it's easy to get to when you need a bit to eat after enjoying time outdoors (or not). While the pub has tons of TVs and more of a bar-type feel on the inside, the bright, beautiful, spacious patio is where it's at if you want to grab lunch or just chill. The service was fast and friendly, and I really enjoyed the food as well! read more

We really enjoyed the food and service! We had 2 adults and a 10 yo, and we shared the half-sampler. It was a terrific selection of meats and sides. The food was great and we will be back! read more

Wow, what a diamond in the rough this place is! Making a quick day trip to Genesee to see the leaves changing and stopped here for a quick bite to eat for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Totally unassuming place in a strip mall but you walk in and the place is a really good size. It has an awesome back patio that backs up to forest, you feel like you're really away from Everton. Not only that, they have live music on the patio which was awesome. The food was all really great. I got the Reuben sandwich with smoked turkey, one of the best ones I've had and I do consider myself a Reuben connesuir, not good at much else besides eating great sandwiches to be fair. The service was super attentive, the owner stopped by several times to ensure we were happy and was very friendly. We will definitely be back here, very excited to find this place! read more

We live close by Genesee Pub and BBQ and everything we order on the menu is always delicious. The wait staff is great and so accommodating. Their patio for summer is really nice! We especially enjoy their $4 bloody mary's for Sat and Sun brunch. Their BBQ chef was trained in Texas and it's excellent! Also, their seafood is great. The salmon and also the fried shrimp bo-boy is always a winner. Their fried okra is fantastic! read more

Seriously!!! Best service! Food! And outdoor ambiance on a sunny day! Been here many times for bbq, but Saturday brunch was amazing! Our Waiter "Chase" is an absolute delight! We'll be back for sure!!! read more

Honestly everything on the menu is delicious and consistent. It's nice that there is a place where you can listen to live music and eat great food. The seafood boils are great and sell out fast. The New England clam chowder is to die for. And the smoked meat is cooked to perfect. read more

I found the BBQ meats unfortunately dry -- the brisket and pulled pork in the slider sampler and the burnt ends in the Matty's Mac and cheese were all dry even with sauce. The sausage in the slider sampler had some kick though! However, the Matty's Mac and cheese was otherwise really nice, with the chili adding flavor and overall a comforting effect. The onion rings were also excellent, perfectly crisp with a generous size onion inside. Service was friendly and prompt, and the patio seating lovely and shaded. One of the women's bathroom stalls doesn't have a functional lock though, awkward. read more

really nice hometown field to this pub and barbecue, they have multiple specials when I enjoyed is the seafood special night! I usually get one of the barbecue specialties but happen to walk in on the seafood night. We also have enjoyed the live music. The table Waiting in bar crew were excellent. read more

The bbq is ok but I didn't like the ribs. We got a combination plate and it served 4 people easily and we had extra to take home. There was a live band that was good but very loud. read more

Fabulous BBQ with portion size options. Fun live music on the back patio in the summer.

Yelp asked me how Genesee Pub was and I say GREAT! We had a wonderful server. She was quick with her favorites and offered fun and interesting conversations! She also makes a great Old Fashioned. I love that this Pub serves local bourbon, like Breck! Our table tried several things off the menu. I personally had their fish n chips. I received 2 nice sized squares and their chips were homemade. My daughter had their Prime Rib Dip. She enjoyed it and said the bread was really fresh. My son in law ate the Cubano, and their wasn't a scrap left on his plate! The table also shared their fried okra. I especially liked the way they battered it. They have a great patio. Due to recent snow it wasn't open, but our server said on warmer days they open up the doors and there is Live music scheduled. Also pups are allowed! Happy this place is on my radar now. I will definitely go back. Oh, we were also checked in on by two managers while there. Class act, in my book! read more

Blink and you might miss this place. Heading back from ski country to the airport, we found this place on Yelp. The directions stopped just short at the Chart House (which was closed). If i had not have said "hey, lets see if there's anything else up there by that gas station" . . we would have never found it. Located in a very small strip mall, by the gas station, this hidden gem has an astounding amount of variety. Anything you could possibly want, from BBQ, to Chowder, to Mexican food. . . they even had my son's favorite sandwich, the Cubano. We ordered a variety of foods, BBQ, fish & chips, some clam chowdah and the Cubano. Have to say we were not disappointed. Next year when we head back out to ski, will definitely hit this place up again for its delightfully diverse menu. read more
