Wayne's Smoke Shack is definitely one of the best barbecue spots I've ever had. I was very excited…read moreto visit this place after reading some stellar reviews across various platforms - and it definitely exceeded expectations. The restaurant is only open Friday and Saturday 11am - 3 pm. This is a very popular spot amongst local, so get here as soon as it opens. We arrived around 11:30 am and there was already a long line that formed. It can take awhile to get to the front, but it's definitely worth the wait! We ordered the ribs and the brisket with mashed potatoes, beans and mac n cheese. We also ordered candied pork belly (not in the attached image). I believe the ribs and brisket are their popular options. Both were very flavorful. The ribs fell right off the bone. The brisket was juicy and tender. However, the candied pork belly was definitely an underdog. It was my favorite meat because it had that sweet and very rich barbecue flavor which made every bite so dreamy. For the sides, I didn't really find any over-the-top, but they were decent. Maybe the mac n cheese was a bit on the dry side, but still really good to pair with the barbecue.

You order at the counter like you would at a true Texas BBQ, and the line moves quickly. This is one of those places where the meat itself is so good that you can go sauceless and still love your meal. Inside, it's large tables with bench seating where you'll share tables with other BBQ fans. It's a laid back, comfortable environment where you're almost guaranteed to talk to someone who isn't part of your group. Wayne's is also part of the community. They have a loyal following, even with their extremely limited hours, because they invest in and give back to the community they're in. This is a place that has earned its spot as one of the best BBQ and neighborhood spots north of Denver.

Posted to Google already deserves to be shared here as well since I'm at it today…read more.. Smokin Dave's absolutely delivered last weekend. We ordered the Not So Teeny Wahine platter to share and added an okra appetizer, and everything that hit the table was legit. The meats were exactly what you want from a good barbecue joint: smoky, tender, and packed with flavor without drowning in sauce. You could tell the pit did the talking. The okra was a great starter too, crispy without being greasy and a perfect way to kick things off. Sides can make or break a BBQ place and Smokin Dave's nailed them. The mac and cheese was creamy and rich, the mashed potatoes were comforting and buttery, the collard greens had that slow-cooked depth you hope for, and the red beans and rice brought a little Southern soul to the table. Overall, just a really solid barbecue experience. Great flavors, generous portions, and the kind of meal that makes you want to come back and try the rest of the menu.

We used to come to The Old Man for years before we had kids and moved over 30 min away. I don't…read morethink we had been back since pre-COVID times, but we decided to make the extra drive because we remembered the great BBQ and food we used to get there. Boy, has this place changed. We knew the routine that this was a walk up to the bar to order food/drinks but we loved the idea of being able to order from a QR code on the table and have food and drinks delivered directly to our table. Unfortunately, the execution completely missed the mark. After placing our food & drink order, we waited several minutes with no drinks. We were about to just go to the bar ourselves when our food arrived. When we asked the food runner about the drinks, we were told, "They're busy, you might have to go to the bar to get them." That completely defeats the purpose of ordering ahead through the QR system. My husband ended up standing in a very long bar line, and just as he was finally reaching the counter, our drinks finally showed up -- probably 10 minutes after the food arrived which was about 25ish minutes after placing the initial order. By then, our food was cold. The brisket sandwich had barely any actual meat on it (maybe 2oz of meat max) and was mostly inedible fat. The wings were dried out, cold, and tasted like they'd been reheated multiple times and drenched in buffalo sauce to cover it up. No one ever checked on us to see if things were okay. (They used to come around all the time) We also had to get our own utensils and condiments which we knew from previous visits, but the guy that dropped off the food made sure to tell us to bus our own table, afterwards, scrape food off dishes into the trash, and return trays and dishes to busstubs they had set out. Like I said, from our previous visits we knew this is more of a bar-service style restaurant and not full table service, but the expectation of any sort of a tip much less the 25% gratuity that was automatically generated/expected on our e-bill before actually finalizing our bill is honestly ridiculous. Other than someone dropping food at the table and a bartender opening a can of beer, there was essentially zero customer service. We ordered our own food, got our own utensils and condiments, cleaned up our own table, and still somehow were expected to tip at a level you'd expect from a full-service restaurant!? I can get the same level of service at a fast food restaurant and no one expects a 25% tip there. To top it off, the live band felt more suited for a retirement community social hour than a lively Saturday night crowd. Needless to say... in the six years it's been since we have been to the old man, we clearly have missed nothing other than its decline.

I especially appreciated that the pieces (of all of the pork/duck) weren't overly fatty, which sets it apart from other Asian BBQ places in the area. If you go, I'd recommend calling in your order ahead of time so you can skip the wait. Great little hidden gem for tasty Chinese BBQ.

My usual strategy: fly in early, stop here, order the big meat platter, eat about half of it, go lift, and then finish the rest on the drive to site. Balanced lifestyle, right? Last visit I had turkey, brisket, sausage, and ribs, and every one of them brought something to the table. Great smoke, great flavor, and plenty of sauce options if that's your thing. The staff were friendly, the atmosphere was easygoing, and it had that comfortable, family-run barbecue feel that you hope for when you walk into a place like this. If I'm anywhere near the area again, this will definitely be one of my stops. Hard to beat good barbecue that fits perfectly into the travel-and-gym routine.

The whole thing came with fries. The fries were good and standard fare. The bartender was attentive and friendly; she chatted with us a bit and seemed to be enjoying her day. The ambience missed the mark a little bit. Perhaps it was our timing, but it seemed really quiet, even though there were big screens with the football game, which for some reason, we couldn't hear. Every once in a while we'd hear a news cast or something playing on a different station. It seemed like all the other folks in the bar knew each other, which was fine. Then something went sideways with the sound system and it was dead silent in the place for quite a while, which struck us as odd. The barbecued stuff was good and the sauce selection was very good but something just seemed to be missing from the experience. I'd rate it a 3.4 if I was allowed to do fractions here on Yelp.

The sandwich was spot on, well toasted with a satisfying crunch, melty cheese, and layers of flavor in every bite. The soup was equally impressive: rich, cheesy, and savory with just the right amount of jalapeño kick without being overpowering. There was a fairly large group of older / retired folks who had just ordered when I arrived. Whether they were waiting on a charter flight or this is a regular Wednesday gathering, the place had a fun atmosphere. Despite the crowd and several pending orders, my food came out faster than expected. As an added bonus, the Vegas Golden Knights' jet was parked on the tarmac, which was very cool to see. This place reinforces my theory that FBOs and semi-private airports often have some of the best hidden gem diners and bistros, places usually known only to flight crews and private pilots.
