Deeee-Frickin-Licious!!!!…read more Chopped brisket is a showstopper and a must try. It needs no BBQ sauce, although the spicy BBQ with it is *chef's kiss* We came in with our pup and were hoping to sit on the patio. However, it was closed for a private event. This ended up being a blessing because there were picnic tables behind the restaurant and along the creek. Shout out to the cashier who helped me out and recommended the chopped brisket and the picnic tables in the back. Girl, you're a real one!

I don't think I've ever had a better French dip sandwich in my life. Everything was seasoned perfectly, and THOSE BEANS! Unbelievably good. I would walk up the canyon from Boulder if it meant getting a seat at the bar with company as good as the bartender, Dylan. He was informative and friendly without ever being overbearing, which is a rare balance. This restaurant runs like a well-oiled machine. Beautiful mountain views, great beer, good company, and fantastic BBQ. What else could you ask for in life?

Some of the food here is OK, and the service was actually great. But I'm not exaggerating when I…read moresay this was the worst brisket I've ever had in my life. I genuinely don't understand how a BBQ restaurant could put something like that on a plate and feel confident charging for it. It tasted like absolutely zero effort went into it and was very dry. Maybe the rest of the menu is incredible, I wouldn't know. But after trying the brisket I'm not curious enough to find out.

As buffets go, nowadays, this is definitely one of the better options. I've read a lot of comments…read moreabout the food being bad, moldy, or tasteless, and that was not our experience at all. The service was fast for removing our plates, and in some cases, maybe even a little too fast! The food is refilled quickly, and the fresher options are out there. It is true you only get one serving of crab and lobster but that is unfortunately just the way things are now with buffets. It is not unique to a specific buffet. When we come back to Blackhawk in one buffet, this is the one we will be going to.

The Buffet at the Monarch Casino is awesome! From the service to the food to the atmosphere, they…read moregot it all down! The price is a bit steep at ~$60/person for dinner on the weekends, but the quality and variety of food is decent for the price. First off, the queen of the buffet, or any buffet in my opinion, are the lobster tail and snow crab. When you pay, 2 redemption coupons are handed per person; one for a lobster tail and one for 2 snow crab clusters. Although this may seem like it is not much, it really is plenty of food unless the plan is to only eat lobster and snow crab (please refer to attached picture). The pho station is ok and the prime rib was very salty, but other than those two, everything else tasted great. Service is top notch. Our server checked in on us and cleaned up our discarded lobster/crab remains very quickly and frequently. Make sure to tip your servers even at buffets!

I mean there's a huge box of fries outside. Well today I wasn't prepared for what we experienced. The place was filled with shot glasses. Cool looking place what's seems to be in the middle of nowhere. This dude greets us introducing himself as "Roy" the owner. He welcomes us and literally gives us the behind the scenes tour of the kitchen and the freezer. What can I say, when you get an unscheduled tour on a Sunday morning and the kitchen and surrounding areas are clean and organized that's a good place. This guy and his wife Barbra run it. He's super cool and self admitted a bit crude but fun nonetheless. He told us we could order anything even if it wasn't on the menu. Sunday everything on the special menu is $10. Next week he's doing a fried chicken buffet for FREE. He says once he didn't have anything and just like doing it for people. He's 72 full of life and maybe a little full of crap but totally fun and friendly. Good food, good service and a fun place on the "peak to peak highway" just outside Blackhawk. This place will be an experience.

The sauces were plenty good enough, but if you wanna five from me, you need to have at least four choices. 2) I don't do green stuff in my cornbread!! I don't know if it was chopped chilies or onion or green pepper or what but I'm not down with it. It was the kind of cornbread that your mom might make and say, "this is way better than the cornbread from a box!" Uuuuhh, no it's not. On to the positives. The brisket is legit. Great smoke flavor, good bark, and tender as you please! I had the fatty brisket. In hindsight, I should've gotten half fatty and half lean but I'm not knocking them for that. The baked beans are great! 4.5 out of five stars. The sauce is a bit thick for my taste, but that's just a personal preference. They had chunks of brisket in them and there was just the right amount of brown sugar. My beans gotta be a little bit sweet. Hope y'all find this helpful!

Excellent BBQ, sauces, sides AND margaritas!…read more We're here in WP for three weeks. This is our second visit to The Smokehouse in the last 10 days. The first time we were disappointed upon arrival when they were out of burnt ends. We're from KCMO and we judge a town's BBQ by their burnt ends. Nonetheless, the brisket, sauces and sides were enough to warrant a second visit. Oh, and that house margarita...chef's kiss! Just what a tired ass mom needs after a long day of "hey moms." On the second visit, I went early at 4PM and ordered carryout. AND a margarita while I waited! The margarita is simple, the perfect size and made with all fresh ingredients. It rivals more notable ones around town. This time, they had ALL the burnt ends and boy, were they worth the wait! I got a one meat platter with burnt ends, collards and Mac n cheese. My husband got a two meat platter with burnt ends, brisket, beans and slaw. We got KC and Texas sauces (they have 5 or 6 to choose from, all inspired by different BBQ regions in the US). Both platters came with cornbread which is the only thing that needs some work IMHO. It's small, dry and not worthy of the calories. But EVERYTHING else was soooo good! Fatty, juicy, flavorful meats. Balanced sauces. And delicious sides! The Mac, collards and beans get an A+, the slaw is a solid B. Service was great on both visits. Friendly, efficient and fast! One thing to note is they have an adorable patio. I've not eaten out there yet but it's well maintained with lots of flowers and good coverage from the sun. Might have to check it out on our third visit!
