    What a fine, the foooooood was amazing and staff very warm and welcoming. No sauce needed for any of the meats.

    Half rack of ribs and side salad

    We decided to hit a BBQ place that was off the beaten path. This place has a little store/butcher shop in it. A self serve dinning and the full service bar. They do not have a separate fried for us celiac/gluten sensitive people. They do have gluten free buns and the kitchen knows to clean the grill and change gloves. I got the ribs. Super meaty and great smoke taste. I got hooked on the Memphis sweet bbq sauce. They are not the meat fall off the bone ribs. You have to dig in , but worth the mess. The Caroline mustard is not gluten fee. The country music and the older general store feel is calming and gives you that chill out and enjoy your day feel. My husband got the smash burger. I think that will be my next try when we come back. Maybe I'll see ya there get'n your finger messy.

    Got carry-out ribs, slaw, and chipotle potato salad. It was all good but the ribs were really meaty and flavorful.

There are only a handful of businesses in Kittredge, a humble unincorporated town outside of Evergreen and Morrison (closer to the former). And shockingly, most of the businesses are great! This is another creekside restaurant and what's not to love about that? I've never actually dined in, only gotten takeout a few times. Doesn't change the fact that they are doing something right in the kitchen! At Switchback, they have the MEATS. As all good BBQ places should. My last meal consisted of their brisket, sausage, and mac and cheese. I really enjoyed everything I had. The sausage may have been my favorite, it was extremely juicy. Brisket is the best BBQ meat and theirs (even takeout) was tender and tasty. Like many BBQ places, the hours and quantities are limited. And for being in a remote unincorporated town you can't fault them for that. Take a scenic drive out this way and score some yummy 'que!!!

We loved it so much on our way to Vail that we made a point to stop again on our way back to the Denver airport. That's about the highest compliment I can give a restaurant. The burnt ends were among the best we've ever had--perfectly smoky, tender, and full of flavor. The ribs were outstanding with just the right amount of bark and tenderness. Every sauce was delicious, the sides were excellent, and the local Colorado beer selection and craft cocktails were just as thoughtfully curated as the food. What really sets Seasoned Swine apart, though, is the people. The entire staff made us feel genuinely welcome, and it was clear they take pride in what they do. We had the pleasure of meeting Jacob, the owner, and his passion for authentic barbecue is evident in every detail--from the quality of the food to the atmosphere and service. You can tell this isn't just a business to him--it's a craft. In a world where so many restaurants are just "good enough," Seasoned Swine is memorable. We can't wait to come back, and we'll be recommending it to everyone we know traveling through the Denver/Golden area.

    Stairmaster to Heaven (The BBQ Kind) They say distance makes…read morethe heart grow fonder, but in this case, a 30-minute drive and a second-story climb mostly just made us hungry. We were strongly motivated by a lunch date with our daughter and her husband, and apparently, the 'Seasoned Swine' experience starts with a mandatory pre-meal cardio session. If you aren't ready to hit the stairs, you aren't ready for the Swine. The Atmosphere (2 Stars): It's a bit like a sports bar that forgot to buy the TVs. Plenty of high-top tables to perched upon, and a bathroom door that refuses to close--perfect for those who enjoy a 'communal' dining experience in every sense of the word. The Service (3 Stars): Standard 'pay-to-play' setup. You order at the register, pay upfront, and hope for the best. Functional, but don't expect a candlelit serenade. The Food (5 Stars): This is where the magic happens. Three of us tackled the 'Swinoceros' plate--a meat-sweat-inducing mountain of the menu's highlights--while our fourth went for the pulled pork 'sammie.' The Candied Ribs: Out of this world. I'm pretty sure these are illegal in several states. Absolute perfection. The Burnt Ends: Moist, flavorful, and worth the drive alone. The Supporting Cast: The pulled pork, sliced turkey, brisket, and jalapeño cheddar sausage were all good. Even the sides--the OC Mac and Cheese and baked beans--were terrific. The Rolls: The three sweet rolls were... well, they were rolls. They were there. The Verdict: If you can survive the stairs, the awkward bathroom situation, and the DIY service, the food is a total knockout. I came for the family, but I'd stay for those candied ribs.
