This place has become part of my travel routine. It happens to sit perfectly on the way to one of the sites I visit for work, and it's also down the street from the gym I like to stop at when I'm in town. So naturally, I plan accordingly. My usual strategy: fly in early, stop here, order the big meat platter, eat about half of it, go lift, and then finish the rest on the drive to site. Balanced lifestyle, right? Last visit I had turkey, brisket, sausage, and ribs, and every one of them brought something to the table. Great smoke, great flavor, and plenty of sauce options if that's your thing. The staff were friendly, the atmosphere was easygoing, and it had that comfortable, family-run barbecue feel that you hope for when you walk into a place like this. If I'm anywhere near the area again, this will definitely be one of my stops. Hard to beat good barbecue that fits perfectly into the travel-and-gym routine. read more

Sugarfire Smoke House - Barbeque Near Me - Westminster, Colorado

Staff is awful, so mean. Made it seem like we inconvenienced them by showing up. Food is super mid for the price and experience.

Had the brisket chili, potato salad,cornbread and ribs today. All excellent! Brisket in the chili was so tender, ribs also tender with a very nice smoke and meaty, cornbread is one of the best I have had and last the potato salad is my favorite! Staff are friendly and efficient! Def a place to try and return to!! read more

Kitchen-crafted, delicious St. Louis style, vibrant-casual dining. And, fried artichokes- 10/10 recommend Sugarfire Smoke House! The six different BBQ sauces, house made fry sauce (delish ranch style!) AND the artisan crafted hot sauces (hot Cheetos-dill pickle and green collards - to name two of the several) only begin to cover the experience of partaking in the indulgence of eating here. The menu features tender meats, made from scratch/ grandma staple sides, Colorado-sourced sodas (clear black-cherry soda-YUM!) and homemade pie-shakes (pecan and cookie pies!). Plus a bar with some specialized micro-brews, seltzers and ciders. Clean, chill, urbane ambiance. read more

Be aware! The staff added additional meat to our order overcharging us. The husband and wife team were rude when we questioned why there were 3 charges for meat but only 2 plates. The restaurant is in need of a refresh. There is tape covering the torn vinyl seats and only one toilet in the ladies' room. BBQ pulled pork is served on a piece of paper on a tin tray, add the sauce, and it's a soggy mess. The BBQ was OK, but not worth returning to a restaurant with 2 rude employees. read more

Some awesome BBQ in Denver! Ordered the 2 meat plate that comes with 2 sides and the Carolina. The brisket and pork were both flavorful and cooked smoked to perfection. The sides menu look amazing in itself. Beans, potato salad, mac n cheese & caprese salad were all good. They have 6 different types of bbq sauces to choose from. The Carolina mustard is super tangy and delicious. The Texas Hot has really good flavor and is not overly hot. Sat at the bar and Liz was very nice and engaging. When there was a crowd she stepped into the kitchen to help out. Great automate service. Very clean and there is a nice patio to sit on too. read more

I will start off my saying there food is really good , we like it better than other bbq places in the area . But it cost more for sure . Our last order they forgot our Mac and cheese and brisket , so maybe 25 -30 bucks worth of food . I called once got home and realized the mistake , there was no offer to come pick it up or refund . I was just told manager would call me the next day , but never did . Too bad . We had multiple orders of brisket and it was super fatty , like way more fat and very little meat as well read more

I got the two plate for myself and I must say...ITS A LOT of food. Definitely bang for the buck. The brussel sprouts was really good and would recommend as a side. Same as the loaded smashed potatoes. I thought the ribs were okay. Didn't really fall off the bone and was kind of dry. Brisket was too lean and dry for my taste, however the sauce made it pretty good! I really liked their coffee infused BBq sauce! Overall food was okay and the price was fair. Definitely enough for you and your SO to enjoy. Note: I wouldn't recommend the potato salad (not pictured). Texture was off and very bland. Their amazing bbq sauces couldn't save it :( (part of the reason for a 3 star). read more

Sugarfire Smoke House - Two Item Plate Brussel Sprouts in Sweet Chili sauce Loaded SMASHED potatoes Baby back ribs Brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Westminster, Colorado

Pound of brisket for 30 bucks ended up being 3/4 fat ended Up throwing most of it away.

I tried this chain bbq place in St Louis a few years back and remembered the food to be above average to good. I finally made it to this Westminster, CO location and had brisket, ribs, Mac and Cheese, cornbread and coleslaw. Brisket was dry, no smoke, and sliced too thin. Ribs were better than the brisket, but still dry and lacked smoke (it may have been boiled and finished in a smoker). Sides were all lackluster, the cornbread was old and had been sitting around at least a couple of days. Service was good and courteous, but did not make up for the bad food. read more

The staff is so nice. the beers on hand are great and the brisket and coleslaw was SO good. No pictures because we ate it all. One of the better places in westy to eat. read more

Service and staff were fine, but the food was anything other than fine. I never leave reviews, but BBQ means a lot to me. The Brisket Dip sandwich, was not smoked brisket. It was grilled, I watched them grill it, and it says smoked in the description. Grilled brisket is a sin. The brisket was hard to chew, and didn't "fall apart" or "melt" in your mouth. Fries were awesome, too bad I got maybe a palms worth of them. Side of Mac and cheese was impossible to distinguish from classic Kraft Mac&Cheese, yet they charge 5$ for a tiny portion of it. All in, 24$, for mediocre, over priced Mac and cheese, GRILLED brisket on an overpriced sandwich, and a palms size worth of fries. And no, 24$ doesn't even get you a drink read more

8.5/10 - STL style ribs w/ Mac & cheese, beans, and fried okra Every 4th of July, I indulge in some tasty homemade BBQ and Sugarfire always gives me that same feeling. BBQ brings people together, sharing their love for juicy meats and gossiping over family drama while sitting in the summer heat. I highly recommend Sugarfire if you're ever craving some good STL style barbecue, and make sure to get their cornbread... it's da best. read more

Sugarfire Smoke House - Sunday lunch - Barbeque Near Me - Westminster, Colorado

We were trying to find a new place we haven't been yet. I'm glad we decided to stop here. When you walk in the door, the smell immediately hits you... and you know it's gonna be GOOD. You walk up to the counter to order. Quick n easy. They have a cooler of various local brews that I haven't seen elsewhere, so that was cool. Also, they have a full bar in the middle of the restaurant. My hubby tended to our food order & I went straight to the bar to see what concoctions they had. The bartender, Liz, was super nice. She created their specialty cocktail menu herself, and I was VERY IMPRESSED. I had the Apple Bottom Jeans. It was mixed with salted caramel vodka, Crown Apple, rhubarb bitters, apple juice & stem cider with a salted caramel pecan rim. Are you kidding me?! The PERFECT fall cocktail. It was amazing. I enjoyed every sip. I'm posting the cocktail menu bc I seriously wanted to try them all, they sound so good! And unique. To eat: I had the double decker smoked portobello sammich & my hubby had the Big Mud with hashbrown casserole. His was made with brisket & pork with all the fixings. Mine was made with 2 HUGE smoked portobello mushroom caps & a special sauce. I couldn't eat the whole thing; but it was delicious & flavorful. I also got the charred Brussels with sweet chili sauce as my side. OMG, TO DIE FOR. I loved how they had unique veggie options at a BBQ joint. We'll definitely be back when in the area. read more

Pretty decent BBQ up in the northern part of town. Some highlights were definitely the Brisket Cheesesteak Sandwich (my birth hospital is across the street and I'm already planning on sending the hubby to get me one of the these during the 48 hours you have to stay at the hospital after giving birth lol) The turkey was good, I enjoyed the ribs, the hashbrown casserole was a house favorite and I would have to agree; it was bomb. And of course cheese curds and fried pickles? You can't go wrong. I liked the pulled pork sandwich but I am just not cut out for messy things haha I was a bit tentative given that I was wearing white. I love the plethora of sauces...I swear there are like 10. The honey badger was my fave with a little kick, and of course Carolina gold will always be a fave. They had a creamy one too, with I think horseradish? I forgot the name but that was good with the fried sides! And brisket Mac and cheese was good too. If I could choose on thing though in recommending that Brisket Cheesesteak it was sooo good! read more

Sugarfire Smoke House - Ribs, pulled pork, brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Westminster, Colorado

Tried Sugarfire today for a late lunch. When walking in the place is clean and cool looking. Nice decor. Nice layout. Wasn't expecting a place where you walk into a service counter and have to stand in line trying to read the menu. Was expecting more of a sit down restaurant. Lots of choices. I went with the special they had listed. The Chimichurri burger. It was a burger with chimichurri sauce and a pork rind with pickled red onions and a mayo style sauce. For the side I got the spicy fried brussels sprouts and added a caprese salad. I don't get bbq much but was surprised at the price. The burger and 2 small sides were over $20. Once they bring your food over the first thing you notice is the giant "plate" with a little food on it. The burger looked good. Was well cooked. The chimmi sauce was good the patty was small. The side of fried brussel sprouts were burnt to a crisp. It was literally a little paper tray of burnt sprouts leaves. The caprese salad was cherry tomatoes and mozzarella balls in a sweet balsamic glaze. Not bad. I also tried a couple pieces of their brisket and Texas hot bbq sauce which is not hot at all in my opinion. The brisket was good. Not great not bad. Overall it was $70 + tip for 3 of us. The brisket plate. 2 meat plate and the burger with an extra side and 2 waters. Wasn't bad but I left still hungry and unsatisfied. 6.5/10 read more

First the place is in a great location and the staff seem very friendly. I got the three meat plate with ribs I asked for wet brisket and the lady behind the counter suggested the turkey For sides I got the brisket chili which sounded intriguing and the coleslaw First don't get the coleslaw I normally like brussel sprouts but they didn't go well with the cabbage and the dressing didn't live up to my expectations The brisket chili Yes there were pieces of brisket in what looked like a tomato sauce The brisket was tender but the tomato sauce was spicy but not tasty Of the three meets the ribs were the best I don't understand that if your customer tells you this is my first time here why wouldn't you make sure they get the best cut of the meat. The brisket well it wasn't smokey it was tender and it was barely wet The turkey was tender but did not have much flavor When you say smokehouse I expect to taste smoke I won't be back read more

Sugarfire Smoke House - Three meat plate with sides - Barbeque Near Me - Westminster, Colorado

We tried Sugarfire because of The Denver Dining Passbook (which is a great deal, btw). The meats ( we tried the brisket, ribs, and pulled pork) were all good, but the brisket was definitely our favorite. We had fries and macaroni and cheese for sides and felt that they were pretty lackluster. My husband liked the bbq sauces, especially the one flavored with coffee, and while that one was my favorite too I didn't love the sauces. We both got soft drinks because the offer Rocky Mountain Sodas- which is awesome because it's different than the same old tired Coke/Pepsi products that are typically offered everywhere. read more

i have been wanting to go here for awhile now, so I went for the first time. Never going back again. I let the guy know we have never been there before but I sti had to ask a lot of questions,where's the bbq sauce, does it come with bread etc. Paid $25 only to sit down and eat beans with hair!!!! The sauce was delicious and the meat but I will never go back. read more

I sat at the bar and tried two of the many local beers they have on draft, the Carolina was amazing, and the service was fast and friendly. Try one of the rotating sides they have, there are so many I couldn't decide which ones to get. I'll definitely be back. read more

My experience with sugarfire smoke house was eating the food at home that my fiancé brought back. He definitely enjoyed the in dining experience that I hope to enjoy as well one day. And as you can see from the pictures that already have bites from the food, I got too excited to try. The meat are all pretty spectacular and tender. Definitely one of the top bbq places in Colorado. The sides are also pretty yummy too! Briskets are always my favorite and my fiancé fell in love with their ribs. Very curious to try their cheesesteaks. Maybe next time. read more

OK so this place has been on my bucket list for a while now. From what I hear there are ties between this place and G-Que BBQ. So with this being my birthday month I get to pretty much do and eat whatever I want within reason, as long as I clear it with the Boss/wife 1st !! Lol. Just kidding. But anyway I was picking up some new muck boots in the area and figured why not because we were both off of work, still running errands after 6 and we try not to eat to late. So the way this place works is they do have socially distancing etiquette in place for dine in but I was kinda seeing a lot of TO-GO traffic. They have a menu board as well as online menus but I think you can pretty much get whatever you want as long as it is prepared as this to me is pretty much a "smokehouse" . They offer items from sandwiches to plates/platters as well as family platters and you can even get meats by the pound. They also offer several different types of sauces. I do believe I also saw some cornbread and cookies. So now that the formalities are out of the way here goes what I thought of this establishment. First thing it is PRICEY!! I was really surprised that I dropped $110 for take out. We ordered a family platter and a meatlovers plate. I was a little confused why they would combine everything in one of the aluminum tins that you see at family reunions or functions where you take a entree or something to that effect. Instead of 2 different to go containers that distinguish the 2. So I wasn't even sure we got everything we paid for. What we did get in the form of meats were, pork ribs, jalapeño sausage, Brisket, and pulled pork. They also offer turkey which I chose not to get. Our sides included potatoes salad, Cole slaw and Mac and cheese and FF. The meats were all good but the Brisket made you want to slap someone!!!! I think that was the best Brisket I've ever had. Now generally I'm a rib and steak guy but if someone put those 3 in front of me I would definitely go for that Brisket! I even took a cold sandwich a couple of days later at work and was mad because I didn't bring 2! Lol. The jalapeño sausage definitely had a kick to it but it was pretty good in itself. Now as far as the sides go I think you might be better off making your own, they were fair but nobody was fighting over seconds But your definitely safe with the meats. But keep in mind it's pricey, in my opinion anyway,especially for takeout, and generally I really don't trip on prices and maybe I was accidentally charged more for some reason because there was some confusion when I was paying and they added a couple of items when they were double checking my order but I failed to get a receipt because it took a while to get my order. But my recommendation is go with the meats. But as always I will tell you your taste may very and you may think thier sides are the best thing since sliced bread! So enjoy and I hope this is helpful. read more

Lower than average bbq joint. Nothing special about anything I tried. I have very discerning tastes for bbq, as I've experienced the two absolute best Texas style bbq establishments in the country, Franklin and Little Miss. I tried the pulled pork plate with Mac and cheese and potato salad with an iced tea. The pork was dry and had almost no flavor. If they can't do pulled pork well, it's a good bet they struggle with more difficult cuts like ribs and brisket. The potato salad was heavy on mayo/mustard and lacked substance. The Mac and cheese was decent but not great, a bit greasy. Their "Texas Hot" bbq sauce was about a 3/10 for spice, 4/10 overall. It tasted and had the same consistency as sweet ketchup with a slight spice. The onions on the side were rubbery and old. The iced tea was not fresh, it was the worst tea I've had in a while. Service was good but the food was disappointing. read more

Ordered a 2 meat plate and wanted double brisket because I was sharing with my small child. The guy refused to let me order double brisket. Said I could get 8oz brisket but not double. Wasn't enough for both of us ended up having to go up & order more brisket. Do yourself a favor drive a bit further & go to Nordy's to they will give you what you want without mid service or mid bbq. read more

I will start by saying that I've made it my personal venture to find the best BBQ in the USA. We've lived in Texas for the 20 years and my job has allowed me to travel all over in pursuit of the best BBQ and by the way not by the typical competition standards, but by my standards. My standards come from some of the best KC, TX, NC, SC and Memphis styles. Some of the oldest and most famous BBQ place have hugh german influences they were great at a couple of things but not all and they pride themselves on simply sides like pickle, onions and white bread. All of that to say my standards are what I am about to brag about. This place has super incredible BBQ and amazing sides, great sauces not that any of it needs sauce. But all of the sauces are seriously so good you can just dip anything In it. So starting with the fact this place has a great location, great decor. Great staff and super friendly. This place has a full bar but the best part is the food. Started with smoked artichoke hearts deep fried. My crew ordered 2 meats plate with Crazy Corn and Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes, The Big Muddy, The Brisket Dip. I don't not say this unless I mean it, everything was seriously outstanding. The ribs were so tender and the flavor of the rub is wow!!! Never order turkey at a BBQ place except for here. It's worth the trip!!! I could go on and on. What they do here is what I look for in a good BBQ place, great BBQ, great sides, great service and sauce that is so good you can drink when no one is looking. Come visit this place and you will not regret. Welcome St Louis Sugarfire to Colorado read more

Food is okay, the mashed potatoes are cold but the ribs were good. Service is good. The ambiance is really awkward here. I think it's the lighting.

You know what? I'm going to go 5 stars because I can't think of a reason not to! From the minute we walked in the door, the food smelled amazing. The serving staff were friendly and starting joking with me immediately. My husband and I shared a giant platter of meat with 2 sides and we still had to take leftovers home. Like usual, the only meat I wasn't a huge fan of is the turkey, but that's a "me" thing everywhere I go. The brisket and ribs were heavenly. And the BBQ sauce flavored with coffee was SO surprisingly good. I wish we didn't live so far from here but then again, I might go broke trying to eat here all the time if we were nearby. read more

Gave Sugar fire another chance after my initial review, once again I was disappointed. The turkey was tender and not dry. This time half the pulled pork was juicy and the other was burnt. I did enjoy the pulled pork that was juicy. The brisket was dry, even after a fresh cut and eaten right away, Nothing special. Ribs doesnt have much flavor to it. The dry rub isnt doing it much for it because the rib is dried up and burnt. I know these ribs are meant to be more of a firm rib and not fall the bone, but it's dry. The sausage is just horrible, all the cheese and jalapeno are on the bottom (refer to image) and not evenly spread out inside the sausage. It seems like they didnt even put enough chedder and jalapeno inside. I didnt finish it, taste like a glorified hotdog. I seen most of the bbq places wrap their meats in paper but here its in plastic wrap. I'm not an expert and wont say how it needs to be done. I'm just pointing it out for people who know more than me. Good selection of sides. I got baked beans and a soup. Both were good. read more
