    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 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.

    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

    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!

    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.

    So glad this place was recommended to me! A total gem in every which way. Service was incredible,…read morethey were patient and very knowledgeable about their products as I asked for recommendations. I ended up getting quiche for myself, pepperoni pizza for my wife as well as a plain croissant, chocolate pistachio croissant and maple cinnamon bun. The quiche was just okay in my opinion but everything else was stand out. My wife loved the pizza and the homemade ranch is AMAZING. The chocolate pistachio croissant was tasty, very flakey. The cinnamon bun was also very good but the frosting was a bit sweeter for my taste. A must visit if you're considering a solid bakery!

    GetRight's Bakery doesn't need more hype, but it absolutely lives up to it…read more My girlfriend and I stopped in on a whim this past weekend while checking out a few spots in the area. I had it saved but couldn't quite remember why...until we turned the corner and saw a line out the door around noon on a Sunday. Normally that might be a dealbreaker, but once we saw the food coming out, we were all in, it looked way too good to pass up. The menu is stacked: everything from sweet pastries to savory sandwiches and even pizzas on what looked like fresh, fluffy focaccia. I went with the prosciutto sandwich (prosciutto, cheese, pesto on focaccia), and it was incredible--simple, fresh, and packed with flavor. My girlfriend had the ham sandwich on a baguette, which was just as good. We were also tempted by the turkey and some seasonal options, so we'll definitely be back to try more. We couldn't leave without grabbing a couple pastries. The almond croissant was a hit (my girlfriend saved it for the next morning and loved it), and the standout for me was the cinnamon white chocolate cookie--kind of like a snickerdoodle but with white chocolate chips. Easily a top tier cookie. Between the quality, variety, and how clearly everything is made with care, this place jumped straight to the top of my list. Worth the wait, worth the hype, and absolutely worth a return trip.

There's a couple tables 'cause the wings are best eaten fresh and hot. There were 2 guys working and finishing a carry out and delivery order but they were friendly and told us they'd be right out. We ordered 24 wings for 3 of us. Just the right amount as the wings are pretty meaty and good sized. We actually had a couple leftover to take home. We tried the boss sauce and buffalo hot. We liked that combination. The french fried were nice and crispy rippled ones. The employee also offered to let us try two kinds of ranch sauces, one individually pre-packaged and one they had poured into a cup. There's a water dispenser that you can get your own water. They also have a free video game that is fun to play while you're waiting for the wings to come out.

It took about 5 minutes for us to be greeted by anyone working; there were two employees working behind the counter, both were busy making sandwiches. Eventually one let us know it was going to be a few more minutes before they could take our order, to which I didn't mind - I recognize it takes time to make sandwiches. We waited for a bit (probably ~10 minutes), and then decided to place an order with them online and continue walking around while we waited. It took about 15 minutes for our order to be ready, so maybe this is the best way to go about ordering so you're not just standing around. To clarify, I didn't mind waiting but it also made sense to place the order and then walk around while waiting. I ordered the North of I70 Italian sandwich, and indicated that I wanted mayo, mustard and oil + vinegar. My wife ordered the sweet baby turkey, and also asked for mayo and salt + pepper. Neither of our sandwiches had any condiments on them (pic included). Each sandwich cost $20, and while I realize that the price of good deli meat has gone up, it was definitely a bummer to not have exactly what we ordered on a sandwich that costs so much - $40+ for 2 standard size sandwiches. The other thing to note is that the mushrooms are not fresh - also included a pic of the mushrooms which I assume come from a can/jar. Had I known the mushrooms were not fresh, I would not have ordered them. I was really rooting for this place to be good, but was overall disappointed in the experience and outcome of our order.
