The absolute worse bbq I have ever had. I asked for fatty brisket and got some dry brisket with a layer of fat. The mac tasted like it got left in smoke for hours dry and no flavor. The only thing edible was the potato salad. Will never order from here again. read more

If I'd realized this place was in Stanley Marketplace I wouldn't have come. It's exactly the mediocre lukewarm food you'd expect from a stall in a marketplace.' There was no line when we went so I guess that was nice. I got the 2 meat plate with turkey, brisket burnt ends, potato salad, and fried okra. The only thing that was temperature appropriate and I'd recommend from my plate was the okra. Second thing that wasn't bad was the turkey. It was flavorful and moist, but being room temperature made it kinda gross by itself. The burnt ends were dry and barely tasted like brisket. Same goes for the brisket sandwich. The potato salad was alright. read more

They changed the team and are waaaay nicer! Good job guys! The new crew was nice and friendly and helped me a lot. They used to have a very rude team but is amazing now. read more

Made the trip to Stanley Marketplace worth it. The meat was so tender and fresh, they gave generous portions which is tricky, I think a lot of the "hip" places are very minimalist in presentation and portions. The sides were on par with the main course, the collard greens were savory and delicious, the mac and cheese was out of this world. Seriously. The only suggestion I have, and to the owners and founders I hope you are reading this, y'all need better pickles! I know you can do better in the pickle game! Regardless, the food was incredible. It was easily our only meal of the day and we are still full. read more

Had these guys cater my rehearsal dinner. I have never heard so many compliments about the food at an event in my entire life. I almost couldn't have any other conversations because everyone wanted to talk about the food. Not only was the food great, but the staff was friendly and funny. I couldn't recommend a restaurant more in town than these guys. If I could give them 10 stars I would. Also, burnt ends read more

The service was good. The place it is in is great to walk around and people watch! The food was just ok.

One of the better bbq joints in the denver aurora area. The burnt ends are seasoned well and pulled pork is always moist. The mustard bbq sauce is my favorite sauce they offer. Their mac and cheese is pretty good though nothing special. Their fried okra is amazing, can't go wrong with that. read more

Fresh ingredients cooked well and solid choices - just nothing that knocked my socks off. I've had better BBQ but I've had much, MUCH worse. Keep in mind, though, that I didn't grow up in the south and my grandmother never greened a collard in her life. read more

After hearing rave reviews from friends, I decided to give Rolling Smoke a try for dinner. I ordered a meat plate with the burnt ends and picked the mac and cheese and jalapeño cornbread for my sides (cornbread was a daily special). The burnt ends were just as described on the menu- melt in your mouth and delicious. I tried it with the spicy bbq and mustard style sauces, both of which were great. Though the mac and cheese was good but not great and the corn bread was a bit dry, I would return to Rolling Smoke without hesitation just for the bbq. read more

Rolling Smoke BBQ - Meat plate with burnt ends and cornbread (daily special) and mac and cheese on the side. - Barbeque Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

After walking around Stanley Marketplace, my bf and I saw Rolling Smoke BBQ's stall and decided to see what Denver's BBQ is about. We ordered the 3-meat plate (beef brisket, ribs, and burnt ends) with 2 sides (cole slaw and mac&cheese) for $16. What a steal! Cole slaw was refreshing and acted as a palate cleanser for the heaviness of the rest of the meal. Mac & Cheese was deliciously cheesy with a lot of pepper, which doesn't really bother me. I only tried the brisket because I don't eat pork. The smokey flavor is not as strong as some other places I've had. Overall, I thought it was a quality and quantity meal at a very affordable price. read more

Rolling Smoke BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

It's not often you find BBQ that's good in a location like this! we got the meat platter that come with a little bit everything, Brisket, Ribs, Turkey, Sausage and Pulled pork. Three sides: Mac and Cheese, Slaw and Baked beans. The brisket was moist and delicious, cooked perfectly and cut just right. The ribs pulled away from the bone like you expect good BBQ to do, the turkey has a yummy smoke ring, and the sauces were excellent (I like mild my husband was a fan of the mustard based sauce). Sides were good, but the BBQ over shadowed them so I didn't eat much of them. The location is super cool too, and worth spending a couple of hours in. read more

The brisket was exceptional - not dry and super flavorful - the flavor you expect from fine brisket! I also really liked the burnt tips! The sauces they offered were good too, great BBQ sauce!! I enjoyed the location - it's a large food court with lots of great food (Stanley marketplace), so you can grab desert and enjoy the smell of great food coming from everywhere!! We liked it so much we came back the next day to buy a pound brisket to go (we were passing thru on our road trip). When I'm Denver go to ROLLING SMOKE BBQ! Thank you!! I included photos of how to find them at the Stanley marketplace! read more

Tried the whole food court place and bbq sounded good. Wasn't horrible but was very dry! Had ribs, brisket, and hot links. The hot links were the least dry out of the three. Watched him cut the brisket and there literally no juice coming out! Ribs had decent flavor but again dry! The Mac and cheese had good flavor but tasted like it had been cooked earlier that morning and left in a warmer all day. The French fries were good but the cook forgot he set my order aside to make more fries and gave out all the fries to other orders behind mine and got mad because he messed up. Started cussing and then took fry's out of another box and then put into mine to get my order finished. None of the three men working there seemed to happy about working there or serving the food. read more

There's a reason why this place is busy. If you're in the mood for bbq, this is the place. Highly highly recommend the burnt ends, max and cheese and jalapeño cheddar cornbread. Everything is so delicious especially topped with their spicy bbq sauce! Highly recommend!! read more

Burnt ends tasted far better than they look. Appear almost undercooked. Mac n cheese was good. Chili is too spicy. Potato salad strange favorite perfume. I'd go back. Service was fast. Real fast. read more

Great food and good people too! Considering a monthly catering order with Rolling Smoke.

I read about rolling smoke in an article about some of the best bbq spots in Denver. I was excited when I found out this spot was close to my hotel. It's located in Stanley market & the overall vibe of the market is really cool. The server was ok & friendly enough so I decided to order the brisket combo with collard greens & Mac n cheese. I shoulda known when I saw the guy slicing it that it wasn't going to be a good experience. There was no juiciness, it looked bone dry. When I finally got to eat, it was just as I expected - dry as the Sahara desert. Probably because it was extremely lean. Another thing I noticed when the guy was slicing the meat is that it looked like they had sliced all of the top bark off the brisket which was extremely odd seeing as that beautiful bark adds so much flavor. I decided to move on to the sides because the description of both sounded so good. Damn, if those weren't the most bland collard greens I've ever tasted in life. There was no flavor from the smoked Turkey they are supposed to be made with & I could tell they were cooked in plain water & not broth or stock. There was absolutely no flavor to those greens at all. The mac & cheese was also bland as hell. It was bland AND dry. Not a pinch of salt or anything else on that Mac. The best thing about this place are the sauces both medium & hot. I'm a firm believer though that if the bbq is good you don't need the sauce but this definitely needed the sauce & then some. Would not recommend this place at all. Terrible brisket & terrible sides. Highly disappointed :( read more

Super unimpressed! I don't get people who like this sad excuse for BBQ. While they have a super captive audience to appeal to, I still don't get the overcooked, badly seasoned slop they are passing off as BBQ. I guess you throw enough BBQ sauce on food and it tastes good...? Their food is not even close to passing if you are a true fan of BBQ. Sad since they have some pretty top notch smokers. But proves that this craft can't be bought. From the happy customers and lines of people happily eating terrible BBQ this review maybe ignored or forgotten, but trust me if you're looking for real BBQ this ain't it! For those looking for something easy and familiar in the marketplace I can see how this place satisfies, much like fast food in an airport, but that's about as far as it goes. read more

Wow-- very impressed with the quality of their BBQ! I got the burnt ends plate with smoked Mac and cheese and beans as my sides. The Mac and cheese has an amazing flavor and is oh so creamy. The beans were a bit underwhelming and kinda tasted like what you could get out of a can of Bush's to be honest. The burnt ends were just as they should be-seasoned well, fatty and melt-in-your-mouth tender. Would definitely recommend this place for reliable BBQ in Denver! read more

Had no idea RS BBQ was a food truck! Thought it was a new place in the Stanley Marketplace. Wait, it is that too but not for another week or so per the guys in the truck. I sampled their pulled pork at the Yelp event at the Hangar @ the Stanley last week. It enticed me to try more. So I tracked their food truck down for a very special lunch. Yes, they have burnt ends and they are totally AWESOME. Was hoping to try their smoked mac and cheese but they ran out after serving a guy 2 ahead of me in line. I had their potato salad instead. I went for the sandwich option (1side) versus the plate (2 sides). Ribs weren't listed so not sure if that was cause they ran out of those before I even showed up? Well, I'm really loving the 2 items I tried so far (pulled pork and burnt ends). Can't wait to try the rest!!! So I ventured to their brick and mortar location in the Stanley. I couldn't stop myself from having the burnt ends again. Yum! I chose a plate this time and had collard greens and mac and cheese. Perfect sides to go with my burnt ends! Next time I have to try the ribs!! read more

Very flavorful food. I got the smoked chicken sandwich and my man got the huge ribs. He and I loved it. He only wished the Greens weren't so thinly shredded. read more

A great barbecue with a very large portion that can easily be shared. I recommend getting a combo plate so that you can try more options. I have been to this location a handful of times and have ordered the sausages,ribs and other smoked pork items. I truly enjoyed the brisket the most. I do love their side options and offer get the mac & cheese, coleslaw, baked beans, and potato salad. Each plate is about $12-16 for quality bbq. I know many don't like paying 20 bucks for barbecue, but it's a lot of work and definitely quality at Rolling Smoke. This location is definitely a fast casual eatery where you can grab and go a plate and enjoy your meal at an open seating space in the Stanley Marketplace. It's a great option to grab a plate and then eat outside or a community dining high top table in front of the restaurant. It's a no-frills barbecue place. Everything is served on paper plates with plastic cutlery. There are pump stations of the hot and mild barbecue sauce. Are usually grab both and add them to the plate of bbq on the side. There are canned beverages available for purchase. When we went to dine there on 12/30/18 & the special was a brisket chili, which I wish I ordered. I hope to come back next time to try more items! read more

The people are super nice. The food is very good. The pork ribs are pretty good for Colorado bbq. The brisket is the best meat they have in my opinion. The pulled pork is good. The bbq sauce could use some seasoning. read more

I've always loved the food truck and was thrilled to walk by the other night and see the new location open. It's still "food truck" style in a way. You walk up to the counter, order your food, and shortly thereafter your ready to go. Help yourself to some BBQ sauce before you sit down nearby or take your food to go. I like to mix the two sauces together. My first visit on Sunday I came right before closing so they were out of a lot of the sides and some of the meats. I had a hot link sandwich and they hooked me up with some of their chili as a side. YUM! It had beans, pork, and had great flavor, if you see it get it. Tonight I had the brisket and beans. Both great choices and I can't wait to explore the rest of the menu. I feel like I will become a regular here. read more

Racking this joint into the "go to bbq" category. Staff was pleasant and helpful with questions and was kind to change out a side when it wasn't served at a warm temperature. All their meats don't need sauce and for me thats a testament to their smokers magical powers. Tried the Mac n cheese which was sinfully good and the potato salad, it's was different but very good, light tasting and complimented the meat well. read more

In Aurora for work. Was recommended to swing by the Stanley Marketplace for a late lunch. The smell of the smoker outside brought me to Rolling Smoke. Tried the 3 meat combo for the variety. Hot links, burnt ends and the brisket, beans and Mac and cheese. The meats were great, heavy on the smoke and tender. Their best sauce is their Carolina mustard and then their spicy BBQ. BBQ beans were decent but nothing remarkable. Lastly the Mac Cheese ended up being a hard pass. It was over cooked, dried out and served cold. Might have been just a bad batch or the end of the server pan. Overall the BBQ was good enough to warrant a return visit. Give it a try. read more

Ok so my kids and I ate there recently and it was so damn good. My youngest couldn't stop until her belly hurt. Lol. Good Q

Team- Ya'll gotta get to Rolling Smoke BBQ at Stanley Marketplace. If you haven't been you are seriously missing out on quality BBQ. This humble southern style BBQ joint has all the things you crave- ribs, brisket, hot links, a mean mac'n'cheese, and their collard greens are AH-MAZING! Their sauce is yum! The only downside to this spot is that they are so popular they run out of meat. The key is to learn their meat rotation (the typical times when the meat comes off the smoker) and then be first in line (Venmo me and maybe I'll tell you the secret time-table). Anyway- this place is kickass. The folks that run this spot are friendly and helpful and we keep coming back. Hope to see ya'll there. read more

The good: Location. Baked beans. The ribs. The bad: honey Bourbon sausage middle pieces were fine but the end pieces were dry. smoked mac and cheese was on the saltier side and also very boring. The inedible: coleslaw was SO SALTY. Brisket was so dry. My mom called it beef jerky. read more

Great service good people!!!!! The food is great :) the sides are small but flavorful! They greet you immediately.

I love this place! I originally followed them when they had a food truck! Loved their BBQ! The staff is amazing and funny! The Beef brisket is on point. The burnt ends our tasty. The smoked collard greens and smoked bacon green beans are delicious! Everything made in house and fresh. It's hidden at the Stanley Marketplace, but worth to find. My nouth waters everytime I pass it by. They offer lots of meat options and multiple sides. I recommend trying their Ribs as well! Honestly try it all! This is not a place friendly to Vegans! Definitely bring the family down, plenty of places to sit and other places to get a beer or liquor. They offer sodas. All in all I'm happy! read more

I have gone here numerous times and the food was always really good. I just went in again and ordered burnet ends. Got home and 90 percent of what they gave me was all fat. Cubes of just fat. 20 dollars for inedible food read more

The burnt ends that I am used to eating are juicy from the high fat content of the second cut ( the point ) of the brisket... when they are rendered they are is still supposed to have a fair amont of fat content to give the ends their crispness, grain, and fatty deliciousness. The burnt ends that were cut for my sandwich had none of the above characteristics, they were just dry... Mac and cheese served for my side was on the greasy side... Both the regular, and spicy BBQ sauces were tasty... I saw in a prior Yelp review where the Yelper was complainig about the high price and small portion.. The owner answered that all prices included tax... If this is the case why was, I charged $15.00 for a $13.00 burnt end sandwich...? read more

I used to come here 1x a month, pre-covid. This was my first time back and it was kind of a bummer. I would have said this place was 5 stars before. They just always got things right. Always the same serving sizes. Warm food. Same taste. First time back, the mac n cheese was nearly cold....the amount of burnt ends was smaller than I've ever been given before. Probably would still give 3 stars but it was such a bummer after it being 5 stars for so long...only 2 today. read more

Amazing. Yes- we literally ate this food in my car because we couldn't wait to take it home. The Mac and cheese was amazing - you need to get it. The meat was also delicious, but my favorite part was the sauce that came on the side. We had three different sauces and they were all delicious. I feel like many BBQ places I go to have watery and/or very vinegary sauce on the side. Not here! I could've had it by itself (okay maybe not but it was amazing!) read more
