Another post-hike meal, and this time we were craving some BBQ. We stopped at Scooter's Smokehouse on the way out of town and were very glad we did! The restaurant was pretty busy on the Monday of Labor Day weekend, and the service was great. I went with the chopped brisket sandwich with fries. The brisket had great flavor and was nice and juicy. My favorite sauce was the Sweet Mild, while the Carolina Reaper sauce paired surprisingly well with the fries. The jalapeño potato salad is also another great option for a side. If you haven't already hiked Silver Dollar Lake or driven Guanella Pass, you should definitely check them out. Guanella Pass is especially beautiful this time of year with the aspens starting to change colors. Definitely a great stop after exploring the area! #cleanyourplate read more

So glad I found this cozy little spot on my way back from exploring the area. What a nice treat to get some good southern BBQ and hospitality from this business and the sweet owner and her sons. I got a brisket plate with green beans and mac n cheese + sweet tea and they all hit the spot! Good portions as well, I appreciated how creamy the mac n cheese was. Not picture is the must have sweet bbq sauce you can self serve (they have a spicy one too). This is a solid, good quality bbq spot, I'm surprised this was available in the area! This place is worth a stop for lunch or after a good hike. There are a few bar seats by the window (so not a full sit down restaurant) and I was to get one without issue and line moves fast, they are efficient and provide great customer service! Visited a couple of weeks ago around lunch time. August 2026. I'd return! Keep up the great work. read more

Honestly props to everyone that works at Scooters because we came in with a large group after a race at Georgetown Lake. They had to close briefly to catch up with the orders after us and we felt bad. When you first arrive, this is essentially a shack. There's limited seating indoors that's like window seats. Then they have a large outdoor seating area. I do wish there was some sort of shade or covering because the sun was beating down on us. It was very hot and it felt like we were burning so maybe bring an umbrella. Now onto the food. The food was quite delicious. The fries were a good crunch and taste. The jalapeño potato salad was so good. The coleslaw is very tangy. The meats were delicious. We had the chopped brisket and the ribs. They're smoked quite well and the bbq sauce pairings were very tasty. I definitely like the hot bbq sauce (wasn't spicy but had such a good flavor). read more

Run, don't walk to try Scooters refreshing cucumber salad. Don't forget the potato salad too! Polished off a brisket Sammy and sides after an epic hike. Highly recommend making this stop as you pass through town or as a quick stop off 70. Creek side vibes were impeccable and service was great! read more

My Coworker heard we were going to Georgetown for a train ride and raved about this little spot. Great BBQ, fair prices, and family owned warmth. It's a small place without a ton of seating inside, but quite a few tables & picnic tables outside. The portions were huge & I enjoyed the cucumber salad (which I didn't expect). Even better, the service was great. The internet had just gone out and although stressed they made sure to help us. Great spot off I-70! read more

This place has irregular hours and closed hours and hours early before their posted closing time!

On my way back to Denver I stop in this super friendly smokehouse barbecue place it was super busy and the people in the kitchen were extremely friendly. We start our snack with the onion ring wow I was immediately surprised as the quality was like a five star restaurant onion ring housemate crispy flavorful perfect. I ordered A sandwich with half sausage and half smoked pork. That was absolutely delicious. I ordered a side of cucumber and onion salad that refreshing cold salad was pairing with perfection with the my smoke sandwich. They have four different barbecue sauces. All of them were delicious, accommodating the smoking of the meat My wife had the pulled pork plate served with mac & cheese this was also a really great mac & cheese, homemade flavorful and combine very well with the pulled pork. She also have the baked beans. This was perfect much much better than "canned bean" And they give us a delicious peach cobbler. I am still licking my fingers the place had to close early that day because they sold out. I was not very surprised because the food was so good that people just have to stop there to try it again So if you go to Breckenridge Val skiing, don't forget on your way back to Denver to stop in the smokehouse barbecue in Georgetown read more

Scooter's Smokehouse BBQ - Front of the place - Barbeque Near Me - Georgetown, Colorado

What a special find! We took the special Georgetown scenic train (definitely do this!... the aspens are at their peak) and wanted somewhere yummy to eat afterwards. Thanks to Yelp we found this gem. Kathy and her 2 sons are from TX and know how to cook barbecue. We had pulled pork ( yummy sauces!), delicious homemade French fries, baked beans to die for, creamy Mac and cheese and the peach cobbler. It was drizzling, so luckily we were able to sit at the "bar" which seated 6-7. There also is one small table outside. I think a lot of locals come by here for take out (including the police!) so you know is a local favorite. read more

Stopped in here after doing the Georgetown Loop Train.. place was small but packed which is always a green flag. Everyone working was friendly. Food was delish. We tried a few different sides, the brisket sandwich, sliced brisket and pulled pork plates. The meat, coleslaw and macaroni & cheese stood out the most... and the mustard sauce. So good. read more

I got the ribs plate and forgot to take a picture LOL! The food was delicious as were the sauces. I love the spicy mustard. There are only about 4 seats inside and a few picnic style tables outside. We took our food and ate it near the lake. I got the rib plate and it was good! I love their beans. They're open until they run out and they run out pretty quick due to high demand. I recommend getting there before 2pm because that's the latest I've been able to get them. read more

AMAZING place! We were 5 people and tried almost everything on the menu and nothing disappointed! Brisket was our favorite, all the sides were great. The restaurant is very small, only 6 seats are available inside and 4-5 tables on the outside. Let's talk about sides: Mac and cheese- definitely a must if you like mac and cheese, super creamy and not a fake cheesy one. Cucumber salad- wow super fresh, it has onion and dill, delicious. Coleslaw- super citrusy and no mayo, very healthy Fries- amazing seems like hand cut Onion rings- best I have had! Made from real onions Sauces- all amazing, my fav was sweet spicy bbq sauce. Their bun was really tasty as well. We are visiting the town and thankfully we found this place! read more

This food was sooooo good that I couldn't help but start eating it before taking some pics. We planned a stop here on our motorcycle tour this week. All of us were from Texas and love some good BBQ! It's a quaint little restaurant with very limited inside seating. Maybe 6 chairs at one counter. Don't fret....they have picnic tables outside. You order at the counter and they give you a buzzer. It was a busy Saturday afternoon but we had our food within 15 mins. There was 12 of us in our group. Wow !!!!! It looked amazing and smelled even better. I had a chopped brisket sandwich with okra and potato salad. All that and a Diet Coke for just under $30. Well worth it!!! The okra was stacked high. They give you big portions. It was delicious. Same with the potato salad. Very good. I saved the best for last. My chopped brisket sandwich was hugely packed with meat. Loved the toasted bun and that Q was AMAZING I knew it....these were Texan transplants that brought their Q up here. Y'all have to try this! read more

Unfortunately they were out of brisket, but the pulled pork was wonderful. Great service, friendly staff, and bbq done right!

Wow, what an amazing meal! I had the very large, chopped brisket sandwich, the fried okra - my first time, and the jalapeño potato salad. All were very nice portions and very beautifully packaged for me to pick up as a takeout and eat at home. The owners were wonderful and are very friendly. I would highly recommend going there when you visit the beautiful little town of Georgetown, in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. read more

Fantastic smoked pork and the onion rings are wonderful, crispy! The okra is also just right! Four different sauces to choose from. The plac is tiny and cozy with limited seating, but it's worth getting food and even eating in your car if you have to. Lovely smokey scent as you drive up. read more

Great BBQ, pork and brisket. All 4 sides were amazing. Seating outside only so very limited since there was a line of about 15-20 people the whole time we were there eating. Your ambiance are the trees and mountains, amazing also. read more

Ridiculously delicious BBQ and sides--perfect after a day on the slopes. The sandwiches are served on buttered Texas toast and there are multiple house made sauces. The hand cut fries are perfect. Will be back again and again. read more

If you are driving up I-70 or find yourself stopping in Georgetown, you need to let this be your pitstop for lunch or dinner. We decided to stop here after riding the Georgetown train loop. I was a bit skeptical despite its great reviews, because when I think of good BBQ I think of a lot of other places before a mountain town in Colorado. It is right in the middle of town. It is a pretty small restaurant right next to a gas station and can easily be overlooked if you are not intentionally looking for it. Because it is small inside be aware that there are very few seats inside as well. We were able to sit inside though! They do have outdoor seating as well. We ordered a 4-meat plate to share with sliced brisket, ribs, turkey, and chicken breast. For our sides we got the jalapeno potato salad, baked beans, and collard greens. Let's just we basically licked our plate clean! All the meat was cooked to perfection, very tender and flavorful! The sides were all very good. I especially loved the jalapeno potato salad. It was unique like no other potato salad I have had before while also being everything you would expect in a potato salad. You can't go wrong ordering food here! We left very happy customers! Thanks Scooter's Smokehouse BBQ for the great meal! read more

Spent 10 days in the silverthorne area and ate out every lunch and dinner.....Scooters Smokehouse was the best meal I had and unfortunately wasn't until we were heading back to Denver otherwise I would have stopped several more times! The brisket was amazing, the jalapeño potato salad was delicious, the French fries were outstanding and the beans had sooo much flavor. Hands down best meal we had all week! read more

Scooter's Smokehouse BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Georgetown, Colorado

Hands down best bbq I've ate, of the many times I've visited and tried bbq in other places of Colorado. This place was cute and quaint. Just a small building w minimal high top bar type seating inside w some nice shaded outdoor seating as well w a nice view of the mountains. My husband and I shared their family meal special they was having which was a 1lb of pulled pork and 1lb of brisket with 3 sides and we ordered some corn bread. The meat was so juicy and tender and packed with so much flavor. The okra had the perfect crispness to pair perfectly with their homemade house ranch. The corn bread was in the middle of a sweet and regular corn bread and very moist. We also got the pinto beans. They were okay definitely not our favorite but not a deal breaker on this place. Just needs a little more seasoning. Overall this place is definitely a five stars for us! read more

Very poor service from the start of entering the restaurant. None caring about the customer, obviously casual conversation engagement was too much for them!... Won't be back and I intend to not encourage others. read more

Small town Texas smoked BBQ brought from Lubbock to Georgetown! Not many places in the mountains you can claim has some of the best bbq. Bringa me back to great Texas BBQ! Our daughter needed a break on a trip back from the mountains and we found this diamond in the rough! Got to talking with the owner and her sons and heard a great story of how this place got started. Friendly service and a family friendly atmosphere! The inside is small but my daughter loved listening to the river rumble on by as we sat at the picnic tables outside. Acrpss from the visitor center this place is a quick stop off I70 and a quick hop back on. Would highly recommend and will be returning any time we're craving great BBQ and heading into the mountains! read more

We had been missing this amazing food for a while now. They use to be in Conifer and moved to their new home Georgetown!! It was an hour drive for us on a Sunday- WELL WORTH IT! the food was just as good if not better, is that even possible!!! We both had the pulled pork sandwich with French fries and home made Mac and cheese (best stuff ever!!!). We sat inside at the little bar by the window. It was a bit cold out to sit at the outdoor area. We can't wait to come back in the summer. We were so excited they found a new home. Tyler and Kathy are always so friendly and we really enjoy their company when eating there. If you are looking for AMAZING BBQ you must stop in. They have sweet tea, amazing sauces, and everything else is amazing too. Cute little place across the street from the visitor center! We can't wait to come back!!! Thanks for the yummy food. It was great to see you all!!! read more

Stumbled upon this spot when we were using the bathrooms at the visitor's center and smelled BBQ coming from an unassuming shack. Best brisket we've had in a long time, extremely tender pulled pork, great sauces and awesome sides. A++ will stop every time we drive past Georgetown. read more

Pulled pork sandwich was good. Seating outside with a nice view. Mac n cheese was good as well.

My goodness this was phenomenal. I was looking for a sandwich and Scooter's popped up on my search. We had to double back to Georgetown but it was easy off 70, easy back on, and super easy to locate the restaurant and parking. We chose the brisket, pulled pork, french fries, jalapeño potato salad, plus cornbread. We ordered everything to go, chatted with the owners for a few and got on our way back home. The brisket was tender and almost creamy and had lots of crunchy burned bits. The fries were perfect and didn't survive the drive home (oops; too good to stop). The restaurant is very small and has only a few counter top spots, but it's clean and cozy and comfortable but I'll probably continue to get my bbq to go. read more

Great food. Freshly smoked and served. The sides are just as good as the BBQ meats.

Little restaurant with big flavor and great food. I had the 2 meat plate with brisket and chicken, both were perfect. Great people running the place, I will be back! read more

A wonderful smoked bbq spot hidden in Georgetown. A small building as you turn right off the exit. I always believe the way to test a good barbecue spot is by getting their beef brisket. I ordered a sliced brisket sandwich with mac & cheese. The brisket was perfect. Nice bark. I asked for fatty and it was very juicy. I loved the nice sized serving mac & cheese. Cheese was a white sauce, delicious. I also had some of the Carolina sauce and some sweet sauce and some spicy sauce all very tasty. The guys running the shop were very pleasant and I noticed they had some real smokers out back meaning that they work hard to get the perfection they have. Next time you skiing stop by on the way down the hill and grab some good food to take home. read more
