    The Smoked Prime Rib open face sandwich.
    Charley B.

    They say meat cooks a little different at a higher elevation. I'm not sure it's true, but whatever Smokin' Yards is doing they're really good at it. I ordered the Smoked Prime Rib open faced sandwich special because I had to. I mean - I HAD TO. The end cut (order taker's suggestion) made me smile. I tested some of the sauces - not bad - however I liked the horseradish and au jus for dipping. The cream corn side dish was a-ok. A note - the room a decent sized, but made in an old warehouse. It can get loud, especially at peak times.

    After coming here for years I'm happy to say the food still tastes amazing and the staff is very friendly! Both of the locations are great but the Denver one is my favorite. With a huge parking lot bring the whole family! (They do have online ordering system and it works pretty well) After trying almost the whole menu I do highly recommend sloppy Joe's and the baby back ribs. The Mac and cheese is pretty solid on flavor and the fries have a bit of Cajun seasoning on them. Pro tip as for the sauce that they have in the back that's not on every table. They got a pretty cute outdoor patio area and plenty of rustic Colorado mountain theme ambiance inside.

    Pulled Pork Sandwich and Potato Salad
    Hilary B.

    I was super surprised in all the best ways with this restaurant. Don't let the parking lot scare you away. It seems almost deserted and in the middle of nowhere. But walking inside the vibe immediately changed. It was lively, good patio, super friendly, and great service! I got the pulled pork and potato salad and it was super filling. The potato salad was flavorful and the pulled pork was tender and the right amount of juiciness. You order at the counter and service is great. A couple different bbq sauces to choose from as well. Will definitely Be back to try more off the menu.

    I tried the restarted happy hour items. It's been at least 5 years. Flavor, price and menu all excellent. I will be back to try their Thursday smoked corned beef special. Their smoked wings were perfect.

    4 meats + 3 sides combo
    Kevin T.

    My favorite meat was the pulled pork. It was soft, tender, and so easy to eat. The sides tasted perfect, the Mac and cheese was cheesy and not watered down. The creamed corn was sweet and refreshing. The fried okra was perfect replacement for friend pickles. There was a line out the door when we came around noon on a Wednesday. There's plenty of seats available and they serve alcohol! Plenty of parking in the plaza. It's clean inside and a bit crammed, but it works well with enough space for everyone.

    Ambiance: Nice country style BBQ restaurant with a bar inside. Service: ordering desk with friendly service and very fast as well Food: the food was what you expect. The fried okra was delicious with a good batter and perfect fry. Standout was the ribs from the 3 meats (we got baby back ribs). The sauces were tangy and sweet perfectly matching the meats.

    Brisket sandwich
    Frantsy R.

    Bleh! Terrible I guess this was brisket it was tough over sauced shredded beef on an odd roll. The potato salad was equally unappealing. The sandwich roll was tough the meat just over sauced and nothing great. Definitely will not be back

    Delicious bbq food, smoked wings were amazing, burnt end sandwich hit the spot! Will definitely be coming back when i go back to Denver. Food also came out fast.

    All our meats and sauces are gluten-free.

    Do your dry rubs include sugar (honey, maple syrup, etc) of any kind?

    We do not.

    Is your sauce gluten free?

    Yes all BBQ sauces are Gluten free including the Carolina mustard sauce not sure about the wing sauce

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.

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.

I got it to go (UberEats if being honest) and the to go container was packed to the brim with bourbon chicken over rice with two sides.

They were both very tasty and the cabbage gave the plate a semblance of health (does have Vitamin C). The chicken is ridiculously good cooked grilled and charred.

The bourbon chicken was crispy and juicy, the rice was soft and perfectly cooked, the Mac and cheese was cheesy but a bit bland, and the potatoes were oiled and seasoned really well (but there was a lot of oil). I mixed the Mac with the potatoes to give the Mac more flavor. The eggrolls were really good too; I wish they had duck sauce instead of only sweet and sour sauce. It is A LOT of food. I'm going to have leftovers at least for the next few meals. My total came out to around $28. My boyfriend got the same thing as me except he got the cabbage as a side. He said it was the best cabbage and bourbon chicken he's ever had. 10/10 spot.
