    The wife and I went here for lunch. Great, great decision. Let's talk about service, food/drink, and vibe. Service. We sat at the bar, although they have cool seats out the front door, and a nice patio also. I loved the bar area. Kook was our bartender. He immediately greeted us, and gave us stellar service throughout our visit. We got some history on the place, along with how they make their food. Sometimes, you get service from someone who might know a menu and the dishes, but it is just knowledge. And sometimes you get service from someone who has true passion for what they are serving. Kook gave us service where every explanation, every description, and every check-in filled was filled with absolute passion for BBQ food. You could tell he loves, loves, loves what he does. Food/Drink. They had a West Coast IPA, which is always a good thing, and the wife had vodka/lemonade. We decided to share the two meat plate with brisket and burnt ends, with mac and cheese and cucumber salad as our sides. The brisket was solid, as was the cucumber salad and mac and cheese, but the burnt ends were ridiculously good. Like, where does it go on my all-time list good. Worth the trip alone. They had sauces on the bar, but the real magic was on a shelf in the back. Our favorites were the green chili and Alabama white. Vibe. I personally LOVED this place. We were there during a slow time, but you got the feeling that it would be a really fun place when packed. Widespread Panic stuff (owners are fans) on all of the walls...another winner for me. OU banner, which my wife loved (owner went to OU). Cool bar area, other parts to sit in, chill music in the background. Loved the energy of the place. I was told also that their French Dip sandwich is another ringer. I plan on coming back to get that next. I highly recommend this place...especially the burnt ends...and see you there.

    From corporate layoffs to slow-smoked success--meet Terry Walsh, the founder of @rollingsmokebbq! Starting as a humble food truck in Denver back in 2014, Rolling Smoke BBQ has grown into a beloved local favorite with multiple locations across the Denver metro area, including Centennial, Golden, and Wheat Ridge, plus a spot at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre. If you love Southern-style barbecue, you've got to try their mouthwatering Pork Spare Ribs with a side of fries--perfectly seasoned with a dry rub that'll keep you coming back for more. They have a covered patio attached to the building on the side and exposed one infront. Remember, this is the Colorado-based Rolling Smoke BBQ, not to be confused with similarly named spots in Vegas or Austin. Support local, savor the flavor, and celebrate the journey from laid-off to legendary!

    The moment I walked in I was greeted with a big smile! This place feels so warm and welcoming ! We popped in to get some food to go and I was so captivated by the heart and stories and art in this place. They also hold lots of local and fun events like music bingo. The food when we got home was still hot and absolutely delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly and there were so many sauces to choose from. There was this jalapeño one that was sweet and spicy and my absolute fave! They have a brisket Swiss dip sandwich (I forget the exact name) but omg yes the roll was fluffy and tasty and the meat perfect and just so much flavor ! We got also some brisket and sausage mashed potatoes and gravy potato salad (I'm a potato gal) and those burnt ends we got OMG... so much flavor and crunch but also juicy how do they do it? I will be doing a reel this week on them for more info if you are curious. And this was not a promo or food given to us or anything like that. Just had such a great experience here for the first time and will be in again soon!

    Awesome all around. Generally well priced for what you get and meat seems of quality, Some of the sides are only okay, but all the meats have been Lack of parking is a bummer but the area is easy enough to find something nearby. Happy they multiple locations! Plus free WiFi

    Woo!

    I did manage to drop back in and try the ribs. They were outstanding, meaty, delicious, and we made three meals out of them.

    Came for dinner, my partner had the 3 meat plate and I had the dry rub chicken wings with blue cheese. My wings were a bit too salty for me but the blue cheese helped, overall just ok. I didn't get to try my partner's plate but he reported that he enjoyed his selection of meats, overall good. I'm giving a higher score of 4 because a lot of over eateries I've tried during my visit (first time here) in Denver had been too salty for me so it may just be a me issue. Also, service was great, everyone was very friendly and welcoming - very cozy spot!

    Food is delicious, flavorful, not drenched in sauce (hate that). I did get the greens and Mac/cheese sides- awesome!!!!! Reminded me of the Midwest bbq joints. FYI- Mac/cheese has lots of black pepper I tried the beef brisket, burnt ends, and fried pork rib tips- recommend all of them! Tom was my server and so fricking fabulous!!!! Thank you!

    More like, Holy Smokes BBQ this place is phenomenal. All the Yelp reviews told me to order this place for takeout to a store I was going to. Placed my online order, was ready when I arrived. Indoor & outdoor seating, staff was friendly, everything was clean, and holy moly this place is delicious. I have a high standard for BBQ because my brother is in the food industry as well. This is the best BBQ I've had in CO!

    Checked out this place for the first time and loved it! We just had a hankering for some BBQ and decided to give this place a try. It's located near Wadsworth and 38th. I ordered online and drove to pick up my order. One thing I liked was there was a parking lot that I just pulled in and went to the front door. I hear this place can get busy but I had no problem finding a spot and getting in to pick up my order on a Sunday afternoon. I must have been a minute early but they told me I could get my sauces towards the back of the area. While I was picking out my sauces they brought my order all packed and loaded into a large hand carry paper bag. This first time we both tried the rib plate. When you add a side dish it comes to around $15. My side dish was fries and hers was a cucumber salad. Other available sides include baked beans and even collard greens! The ribs themselves were meaty and quite good even before adding a sauce. The initial taste was delightful and tantalizing! As an additional surprise we received an extra rib so it was four instead of three. Yum it's just great. There is seating inside and they have a nice outside covered patio. I can see why this place is popular. It clicks all the boxes and it's a true BBQ place. Nothing fancy here but it's spot on for real BBQ. If you're in the area stop in and give them a try. Then enjoy your meal just like we did. I was in and out so fast that I did not take enough photos but I'll post what I did take for your review.

    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.

    Wayne's could be the best bbq in Colorado. If it was closer to Denver, I'd say it'd be in the top 2…read morein the Denver Metro area with Riot BBQ. The brisket here is my favorite in Colorado. 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.
