I WILL STOP HERE EVERY-SINGLE TIME THAT I MAKE A DRIVE TO THE WEST OF COLORADO!!! EVERY-TIME!!! **DOG FRIENDLY We visited the Palisade Peach Festival in August and were fortunate enough to run into one of the business owners of Reckless Roadhouse. Wonderful man, greeted us and charmed us into visiting this little gem on our way back to Denver. CAN I JUST SAY, PHENOMENAL!!! Everything that we ordered was unique to this BBQ spot and full of flavor. The drinks are well crafted and pour out to the brim. So much love and respect for this local dive. We will see you again on the way home from the Blue Angels' Air Show. Whoop Whoop!

I have been to this restaurant three separate occasions now. The first was on the way back from Palisade for the peach festival. We had my pup with me, and they were more than accommodating to seat us outside with her. The food is amazing and has never disappointed. The specials are rotating, and there is an item on the menu that basically allows the chef to choose what to make for you. Don't skip out on the "snake oil" shot. It is handmade and tastes delicious. The inside of the restaurant is decorated with various animals and western themed decor. They have had live music and karaoke on two separate occasions that we have dined here. The staff have recognized us every time we come in, despite the visits being months apart. Definitely will be stopping here anytime we head out west!

Our table was just below this guy!

Stopped here because we were hungry and needed lunch while driving back from a business trip to the Western Slope. What a pleasant surprise! Really good BBQ and great service. Love finding local gems in small towns.

This was a really nice stop on my trip from Grand Junction to Denver.. Was Lucky enough o stop here during Happy Hour even on a Sunday.. They gave me a choice of spicy margarita or regular which is unusual or hh...Of course I choice spicy which was very good.. Service was friendly and fast... I ordered the happy hour menu.. Pulled pork tack was delicious..Very crispy and taasty...I took the pulled pork slider to go which probably wasn't a good ides since the bun godd really soggy... Really nice to have live music while i ate.

Stopped by for a quick bite. 3min from I-70. Brisket was well seasoned and moist. The Asiago roll/hoagie that the Smoked Philly sandwich was served on was delicious on its own but in combo with the brisket was a delight!

Stopped before a camping weekend - this is the main restaurant in De Beque. Met one of owners Brian, who went to culinary school and opened this place recently. The bbq was delicious - we had the nachos and pulled pork tacos. Both were excellent! The restaurant is very friendly and clean! Highly recommend.

Meat Sampler...all the meats were excellent!

Stumbled on this place passing through on a Sunday afternoon not expecting a whole lot BUT was blown away! This place is awesome! Food was great, I had the meat sampler and loved all the meat. Couldn't pick a favorite, all good! Service was great and I was able to sit outside with my dog. They have beautiful outside seating with views of the surrounding mountains. Very friendly people and easy on/off the interstate even for RVers. Plenty of parking and a cool little town. Oh...and they had some really great live music on that Sunday also. Had a great time!

Amazing food, presentation, atmosphere, and service. Absolutely nothing to complain about here; even affordable pricing for these inflated times. One of the best spots on the whole western slope. Worth the drive for people from the roaring fork and GJ. Dog friendly patio outside for those traveling through with canine companions.

pulled pork sandwich

amazing food! prices are pretty reasonable for how good the food is and how much you get. staff was helpful, attentive, and friendly. stage inside for live music, cheap happy hour drinks, etc.

Boalnaese something but it's amazing and so are there wings.

This restaurant is amazing we've been here every night for the past week and half and it's always good. Staff are nice and friendly, and there's events Friday nights. 10/10 place so sad we're leaving Colorado

Truly the best BBQ ever! Deep rich flavor. Nice decor and clean inside. Service was superb. Well worth making a stop here. I'll can't wait to come back and will be telling everyone how delicious it was.

We ordered both specials the barbecue chicken sandwich and the meatball sub with Aoli. They were amazing!! - A tray with a sandwich, bowl of soup, and side dishes, along with a glass of soda on a black table at a restaurant.

See all
