Service was incredibly quick and friendly. Ambience was also great after a busy day in the mountains. We had the turkey reuben, 1/2 lb turkey, and hippie juice. All were sublime, we definitely recommend trying the hippie juice! Food came out incredibly quick and the servers were super helpful and nice. We'd love to come back! read more

This place is a solid 4/5. - The dry-rub ribs: 10/10. So good they don't even need sauce - the true measure of how good ribs are, IMO! Soooo delicious, I'd drive the 45 min here again just for the ribs. - Burnt-Ends sandwich, also 10/10 - Baked beans: 9/10. Really great, a couple kinds of meat in there made them extra delicious. The sauces were pretty underwhelming, but the meat was so good it wasn't a dealbreaker. I mixed the blue (Kansas City) with the hot and it went well. Cornbread was good, a little dry but not bad. The coleslaw was quite dry and bland. Mixing with the mustard-based bbq sauce elevated it considerably. Overall, strong meats, good sides, and perfect dining room environment for a BBQ spot. Would eat here again - and I'll be ordering the ribs. read more

What is good is really good; what isn't good... isn't so good. Overall, it's a great BBQ place in Winter Park that I would visit again, with some adjustments. I think portions are the real win. I felt like we got a great amount of food for the price--we weren't skimped on like some BBQ places! When considering the premium of Winter Park, this felt more on the reasonable/expected side. Brisket was cooked perfectly, and the sauce complimented it well (we tried them all!). The pulled pork was very dry and not good. The included coleslaw was good: not too watery or vinegary. The beans were not good (I know another reviewer loved them). To my tastes, they were a bit crunchy and felt like something was wrong with them. Overall, just a bit thick and off-putting. The mac and cheese was amazing and just what we loved. It was very peppery, which suited us well. The corn bread was very sweet and a bit moist in a weird way (like it was sweating). I ate it all, but it wasn't my favorite thing. Vibes-wise, it's very laid back. Service was good for counter-service. I would come back and try a few other items (the CO Cuban sounded interesting). read more

Home of the best baked beans I've ever had in my life. The pulled pork was smoky and delicious. The brisket was alright. I was disappointed by the Carolina barbecue sauce. I liked that the coleslaw is not drenched, but it also didn't have as much flavor. The two meats/two sides platter was the perfect size to split between two people. read more

Delicious sausage and turkey plate. Very tasty sides of slaw and beans. I felt I was back in Texas !

Excellent BBQ, sauces, sides AND margaritas! We're here in WP for three weeks. This is our second visit to The Smokehouse in the last 10 days. The first time we were disappointed upon arrival when they were out of burnt ends. We're from KCMO and we judge a town's BBQ by their burnt ends. Nonetheless, the brisket, sauces and sides were enough to warrant a second visit. Oh, and that house margarita...chef's kiss! Just what a tired ass mom needs after a long day of "hey moms." On the second visit, I went early at 4PM and ordered carryout. AND a margarita while I waited! The margarita is simple, the perfect size and made with all fresh ingredients. It rivals more notable ones around town. This time, they had ALL the burnt ends and boy, were they worth the wait! I got a one meat platter with burnt ends, collards and Mac n cheese. My husband got a two meat platter with burnt ends, brisket, beans and slaw. We got KC and Texas sauces (they have 5 or 6 to choose from, all inspired by different BBQ regions in the US). Both platters came with cornbread which is the only thing that needs some work IMHO. It's small, dry and not worthy of the calories. But EVERYTHING else was soooo good! Fatty, juicy, flavorful meats. Balanced sauces. And delicious sides! The Mac, collards and beans get an A+, the slaw is a solid B. Service was great on both visits. Friendly, efficient and fast! One thing to note is they have an adorable patio. I've not eaten out there yet but it's well maintained with lots of flowers and good coverage from the sun. Might have to check it out on our third visit! read more

I love this BBQ and it is one of our favorite places in Winter Park. Fun mountain hippie vibe with great food. The service is always friendly and welcoming. The BBQ is so good. The turkey, hot links, brisket, and pulled pork are all really good. The mac&cheese is not too heavy and the slaw is a pleasant side dish. I don;t love beans but people that like them, love these beans. There are multiple types of sauces you can try. If you visit Winter Park, don't miss this place. read more

Meat tasted like it was pressure cooked and not smoked over night. The collard greens were half water. The beans were good which worked out well as I received multiple orders of them as opposed to the other sides i ordered. Highly overpriced for what i got. Especially considering the tip that is given before the service is received. read more

Great barbecue with many sauce options! The KC and Bama Bbq sauces were my personal favorites. I had the burnt end sandwich with a side of Mac and cheese. Very creamy with a good balance of pepper in that mac. The spot was fun and had a dead head vibe if you like Grateful Dead you will appreciate the decor. Prices on par for a mountain town lunch spot. Will be back for sure to try other things on the menu. Great spot to refuel after a hike or ski! read more

Very good BBQ and atmosphere. The drink menu isn't too bad either...If you're in Granby it's worth a stop!!!

Not the most amazing BBQ in my personal opinion, and understandably overpriced (as most other places in WP). The suggested tip showing up on the terminal at order time, was also quite steep given the lack of staff friendliness we interacted with. As a positive, the portions were quite large and we took some food home. Overall a decent place for us to stop for gluten free/celiac needs so it worked out ok but not sure I'd return if I was back in WP... read more

I would give Smokehouse BBQ 3.75 stars. You order at the counter and seat/bus yourself which I find common with BBBQ restaurants. The decor is on par with similar restaurants. Staff was friendly but you have limited interactions with them. The sides (Mac and cheese, potato salad, and fries) were the highlight in my opinion and were flavorful. Meat was just okay and a little dry for me. The cornbread was also dry and lacking "corn" taste so I didn't bother eating it. Probably would not return in the future. read more

Southern BBQ in Winter Park, Yes! Popped in for lunch on Monday, early. Glad we did, as place got busy as we were leaving. Had the Colorado Cuban sandwich and a side of Mac & Cheese. That sandwich rocks! See the attached video. Try their house made sauces, delicious. Gonna stop in here again before we leave and try dinner. read more

Gave it a try. It was good. Brisket and Potato salad was good and large serving that is enough for at least 2 people. Mac and cheese is creamy and large serving as well. Corn bread biscuits had good flavor. Homemade lemonade was not too tart or sweet. The service was good and the place has a funky vibe ( we didn't like the artwork) and the music is a bit loud. Easy to find and easy to park. Loved the beautiful hanging baskets outside and it also had a nice patio. read more

What a fantastic place, the food is incredible! We had brisket and chicken wings with coleslaw, sweet potatoes and corn. This is the best BBQ we have had in a very long time and with all the meats and sauces being gluten free my daughter was able to eat everything. If you go you have to try the Alabama white sauce! We'll be going back anytime we are in the area! read more

You order first and then they give you a number and you go find a table to sit down. - Smokehouse Sampler 2.3/5 The meats were SO DRY. They have a lot of bbq sauces to try but the meats were so dry.... Ribs 3.1/5 Tasted good but was SO DRY and some parts of the ribs were hard and inedible... Burnt Ends 4.2/5 These were my favorite! They were the most tender and juicy out of all the meats.. too bad they only give two small pieces. Sausages 2.9/5 Basic sausages but also dry??? How can sausages be this dry.. Chicken 1.8/5 These were VERY DRY... and only comes in a few slices? Pulled Pork 1.8/5 Just as dry as the chicken.... - Brisket 2.7/5 Still dry but some pieces were OK.. - Potato Salad 1.6/5 Heavily underseasoned.. n - Baked Beans 5/5 These were so flavorful and delicious! - Coleslaw 1.7/5 Bland and kind of sour? - Mac and Cheese 1.9/5 Under seasoned... bland..

At first our group of 4 thought that since we arrived at 3:30 PM on a Thursday to eat we caught the friendly, happy staff at a natural break time with the house music turned up a lot. There was only one other table of 4 in the place. The food was ordered and arrived quickly, drinks were fine. Surely the smoker was about ready to turn out the day's fresh offerings, right? There was no reason to expect this place in a Colorado ski town to be like a Southern BBQ Mecca, but boy, were we underwhelmed! Got the sample platter-each of the 6 meat offerings was cold and dry - yesterday's leftovers, without a doubt. The ribs and burnt ends were hard. Why the cook thought the platters acceptable to leave the kitchen was beyond reason. The sides, usually the pride of a BBQ restaurant, were almost up to average. The potato salad and cole slaw were on level with the Safeway deli (bland and watery-and likely purchased there), the beans and Mac n cheese were better, but also cold. Corn was soggy. Won't ever be back when we're in town. Ain't no BBQ love here. read more

This place is awesome - everything I could want in a BBQ place. Friendly, quick service and delicious food. Clean facility with cool music ambience. Love the smoked turkey and sauces; husband loves the brisket and potato salad. Will be back for sure! read more

"Really good BBQ, especially the brisket and sausage - both had amazing smoke flavor. The mac and cheese, potato salad, and fries were super tasty, too! I wish I'd tried the ribs, but there was a small mix-up with my order. No big deal, though - I was still very happy with everything, including the service. Highly recommend!" read more

The workers where amazing. Really great service and super nice people who led us in the right direction by not letting us order more that we needless. The restaurant was also nice to hang out at.. beautiful weather and outside porch. We really enjoyed hanging out here for the afternoon. The food was not my favorite it just fell a little short for me. The burnt ends where super fatty and not at all that "crispy glazed" texture that they usually are. The brisket was the best of the meats I had since the sausage tasted overly spicy to me. Potato salad was also very middle of the road for me. Sorry guys it's a no from me read more

Sides were really the only quality part of the meal, our tables were dirty, silverware & plates were dirty. The staff was very attentive which was appreciated. Brisket was dry, pulled pork had no flavor, sausage links were dry and tasted like straight black pepper. Definitely not the type of BBQ I'm use to. Sauces were different a good kind of different! read more

The Smokehouse BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Winter Park, Colorado

We got takeout. We had the brisket (tender and delicious, but not a lot of smoke), chicken (a little overcooked and tough), turkey (great smoke taste) and pulled pork (juicy and my favorite). We also had the mac and cheese (the kids said it was too creamy, but I liked it), baked beans (favorite of the group), potato salad (very good) and slaw (great on the pulled pork). They give you a ton of sauce to go with it. The mustard and spicy sauces were very good. I didn't try the other two. I'd definitely go back. read more

The rustic, cozy atmosphere perfectly complements the mountain town vibe, making it a great spot to relax after a day of outdoor adventures. The smoky flavor of the meats is enhanced by their selection of house-made sauces, ranging from sweet to spicy. Sides like the tangy coleslaw, potato salad, steak style fries, baked beans and spice pickles are not just fillers but highlights in their own right. Service is friendly and efficient, with staff who are clearly passionate about the food they serve. Portions are generous, and prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. Whether you're a local or just passing through, The Smokehouse BBQ is a must-visit for a satisfying meal that embodies the spirit of mountain living. read more

Not many restaurants open between seasons but for our late season ski trip we came to Winter Park. FAST review Food: we ordered and split a half rack of baby back ribs and a pulled pork sandwich. The ribs were tender but not much season on them. The pulled pork was cooked well but bland. Luckily they have 4 BBQ sauces on the table to make up for lack of flavor. The steak fries, corn bread and side of pickles were just ok. I'll save the best part of the meal for the tip. Atmosphere: lots of high tops and great music playing. Unfortunately the music kept stopping and starting for most of the time we're seated, seems like they may have fixed it by the time we left. Service: ordered our food when we entered and it was served fairly quickly. Tip: the Baked Beans were amazing, best part of the meal. read more

First time to Winter Park and have already been twice in four days. It's right around the corner from the condo and knowing the food was amazing we went back again! Had the brisket, pulled pork and the rack of ribs. Very good smoke flavor on all meats, the pulled pork was succulent, the brisket was very tasty but drier than the pork (a lil' sauce fixes that right up) and the Pork ribs were amazingly moist with superb flavor. The coleslaw, mac n cheese, and collard greens with bacon( greens a little on the salty side for me but nonetheless very tasty)- are all great too. ( Mac n cheese especially!) They provide quite a collection of sauces: our favorites were the blue bottle, orange bottle and a lil' yellow bottle mixed in. The point is they are all delicious and you can get creative being your own BBQ sauce mixologist! The cocktails were nice as well! Had the margaritas but they also have quite a whiskey selection and whiskey drinks that look quite tasty. The service was super efficient, order in the front, get a number and they bring to the table. To go boxes are readily available to patrons as well as lids for the sides- you can ask for the sauces if you are taking food to go or bringing leftovers home. The owner and /or manager is awesome ( guy with the braided beard- sorry I didn't ask your name) and the staff are all passionate and polite. For a super casual, fun, quality BBQ place, this place is it! Thanks for the great experience and food! read more

Great restaurant in Winter Park! My friends and I were running out of groceries in our last day in the area and decided to get some takeout from The Smokehouse. Ordered ourselves a half pound of brisket and a pound of chicken thighs. Came out within ten minutes and came with plenty of sauce so that we could get the full bbq experience at home. Brisket was a liiittle dry but the chicken thigh was great! The restaurant has a bar as well and I actually ordered an old fashion while we were waiting for our food. Would definitely come back to eat-in next time because I can tell their bartenders know what they are doing. Looks like a fun place to eat! read more

The brisket was pre-sliced making it tough, dry, and rather tasteless. The turkey was moist but mushy like it had been stored in hot salt water. We didn't finish either and instead gave our meals to a stray dog down the street...he seemed to like it. read more

Carried out the Friday before New Years Eve. It was a little chaotic, and they were completely out of brisket. That having been said, the burnt tips were fantastic. Personally I cut off the fat part, and would have preferred that the fat be cut off in the first place, but that might just be a personal preference. The cornbread was good, but the macaroni and cheese needed salt. Ordering the burnt tips and macaroni each separately is cheaper than the one meal option (in case you don't want the pickles and cornbread). My one complaint..... not a single good vegetable option on the menu. There were collard greens, but I would have really appreciated a salad or some roasted vegetables even. I felt kind of gross after such heavy food. read more
