    This is my go to place in north Denver when I don't t want to smoke my own barbecue. Closest to good homemade smoked meats as I have found If you want to try this bbq the sooner you get there better because once they run out of food they close for the day I was so happy to find this place before covid and so happy that they survived and seem to be thriving. They make you feel like family and don't put up with any funny business, what I mean is if you think you are going to watch a movie or play a video game on speakerphone, you got another thing coming. They value their customers and want all of their guest to respect each other. I love the brisket pulled pork and their home style coleslaw Come in to try some of their special house made desserts as well.

    Picked up a sandwich combo meal with green beans, mac and cheese and cole slaw with cornbread! All were delicious, especially the cole slaw. Wide variety of sauces to choose from. Every time I come in, the woman working here is so nice. It's not an easy spot to find between a nail salon and a tax place. It's worth looking for, whether you want to eat in or take something to go.

    Sign me up as yet another fan of this BBQ joint. This place was noticably small, so clearly it was meant for a goblin such as myself to enjoy it. The place does look pricey, but once you get your food, you will notice this stuff is all well worth the price. You get quite the plate when it comes rolling out. Every order has sides and a dessert (or an additional side if you're shameless), so you get yourself stocked full pretty well. I do recommend the custard pie, it's sinfully delicious. Even with the small room to sit (they literally have like 5 tables in the joint), the service is still quick and quite friendly. The meats are smoky and delicious, too. The pork was so soft, with crispy bits. They do rely on you to sauce your own meats, and they make their own selection, too. So get saucy.

    Probably my favorite part of my work trip to Denver. The lady behind the counter was extremely nice and courteous and gave us recommendations when we couldn't decide. I ended up with the pulled pork sandwich with potato salad. They use sour cream in the potato salad so it's a bit different from what I'm used to on the east coast. The pulled pork was amazing. Juicy and delicious. I still think about this pulled pork sandwich now and it kills me I have to go back to Denver to get it.

    Was in town visiting Denver and I was craving bbq. Saw this place and decided to give it a shot. It's a small place and all the staff are friendly. They great value combos that includes meat, 2 sides, drink and a dessert. I got the 2 meat combo with brisket and pulled pork. The brisket had a nice flavor, it's cooked well would have liked it a little more moist. The pulled pork was very good, cooked well and moist. They have a nice variety of sauces. I got the buttermilk which was alright. The cornbread was very good. The Mac and cheese was not my favorite style. I would definitely recommend this place because it offers good value, good portions and good food.

    1/2 rib combo very good bbq! Highly recommended!!!!

    This was legit the fattest bbq pork sandwich I have ever eaten. Their specials are insane. Owners are nice, food good, chill vibe here. Excellent meal!

    OMG!!! Came in after the lunch hour at 1:17 and had a long chat with Stacy (owner's spouse)... He talked about how they've been here 10+ years, and his pork & chicken are smoked with Hickory & fruit wood (the ratio is secret)... Beginning on the pork with a dry rub with basted secret sauces... The chicken is cooked smoky without a sauce which is added later. We added the custard pie to our 3 meat combo deal : pork ribs, burnt ends & chicken. All delicious with our sampling of several sauces... It was so good that I added a few more pork ribs as we were leaving. Incredibly friendly conversation with the owners. Great corn bread & collared greens. I just have so much more up add but it's just the BEST & Most Friendly BBQ visit I've had in memory. So why only 5 stars? If I could have given a thousand stars, that would not have been enough! What a fabulously memorable experience!!!

    Absolutely excellent BBQ spot. They do everything well, even the brisket which is tough to get right. I like the variety of sauces too which allow one to choose the "style". Owner operated and always incredibly delicious. I smoke meats at home and appreciate their process. Nice smoke ring, good balance of smoke and moist meats.

    As a Texan, we are particular about our BBQ. This place has AMAZING brisket! Very cute place. Friendly. I was NOT disappointed.

It's not close from my southeast Denver house at all but I make the trip to go here when I crave for good/quality bbq. Service is (in my frankest sense) solid and this restaurant has never failed in that regard. I always see the same lady manning the front. Her demeanor and speech are always consistent where her professionalism is her strong attribute. Quality is of utmost importance at any restaurant and this place is consistent in that regard as well. Today, I had pulled pork (about 6oz; by the way, you get to pick how much you want as you pay by the weight.) To accompany my meat, I got the Elote Salad and the Jalapeno Corn Bread. These created the perfect combination of balanced breakfast (yup, it was past 11am but it was my first meal of the day!!) It truly filled me up. The ambiance is of a typical bbq place. It's small and yet with the symbiotic relationship with the brewery right next door, the current space size justifies. The customers from said brewery come and get food as "eat-in" to take their plates back to the brewery to eat while brewing themselves up (lol!) Businesses co-exist/co-mingle/co-operate. We all help each other. I am giving my solid high five to Pit Fiend today. This place has my heart.

    Today was definitely a bbq day and we came across this establishment…read more The employees were friendly and there was a great variety of meats. Unfortunately like every bbq pit you need to get there early to get burnt ends but there were other meats to choose from. The only unfortunate thing was they are part of the up and coming group of merchants that charge 2% if using a credit card on top of that city fee and tax.

The guys working that evening were super accommodating and had good energy. There was a small wait for my food but I didn't mind at all. There is plenty of seating if you want to stay and dine or you can call ahead and do a to go order. This would be a good place for groups and watching sporting events or enjoying the music. I went with the smoked sausage, ribs, green chili mac and cheese with baked beans. The sides were all good, the smoked sausage was the stand out and the ribs could be better. I do understand the difference between a little char and burnt pieces, however mine were more burnt and it was a detractor from the ribs. I ended up trying to pull that part off and eat the softer parts. In the game of bbq, you're gonna have a few pieces that are in direct heat and have more flame exposure, just don't give those pieces to me. Capable of cash, card and contactless payments with no hidden surcharges like many places seem to be doing. The portions were plenty and enough to share or to make two meals if you're watching your intake. Parking is along the street and pay attention to the signs. Some areas have time limits and there's a garage nearby if you choose. I drove by because on the main street, it seems unassuming until you're looking for their signage. Around the corner are other businesses and some residences so it threw me off a bit. If in the area, I would dine here again to explore more of the menu. Of course, if you go later in the day, the chance that they'll run out of an item is higher.
