We are so glad we came across this gem of a restaurant on a previous trip to Ouray…read more Staying nearby this time we decided to stop in again. To us, this place represents exactly what we love about Ouray: unassuming, welcoming and exceeding expectations. It's a place where you can sit inside or outside and sip a martini from a full bar. (Although we fell for the smokey Old Fashioned). A piano and saxophone combo played jazz. Conversations flowed on all sides at big tables. Located on the cozy grounds of the Ouray Riverside Resort complex, the Smokehouse recently added an enclosed patio with roll-up garage doors to give diners the indoor-outdoor feel. The rib platter and sides were terrific. The meat had a nice peppery bark and came easily off the bone. The Caesar salad and Mac and Cheese sides also were thoughtfully prepared. Desert was a rich Creme Brûlée cheesecake. Travis and his fellow hard-working servers were helpful and friendly. We can't recommend this place enough.

Thus, when we got to Poncha Springs and suddenly had 4G again, we chose the first food truck listed on Yelp. We did not know what to expect from a rural food truck with only 3.5 stars at the time of our visit, but our growling bellies demanded that we risk it. OMG are we ever glad we did! Combine that everybody-knows-your-name feel of your local dive-bar, with the earnestly eclectic comfort of your favorite independent coffee house, then hide that under a wooden carport, and you will have the vaguest impression of the dining room. An order window faces into the humbly hip dining room, and a bright white sign, looking for all the world  like an oversized tri-fold pamphlet displays the menu.  I know exactly what I want from the pictures on Yelp, but I have trouble finding it. Turns out that if you want fried shrimp and sweet potato waffle-fries, that's just the Shrimp Basket with a substitution. Those sweet potato fries are pretty darn amazing, though, and the shrimp are some of the best ive had this far from an ocean. Raz went for the Cajun Pork plate. I was astounded at the slow burn of the spicing, and the absolute perfection of the succulent meat. The absolute star of the whole experience, however, was his side of spicy ranch-style beans. They were savory, smoky, spicy, and had almost none of the sweetness I generally associate with bbq beans. Thus, they were the perfect pintos, and I would be willing to make the half-day drive back here just for them. This place is an absolute diamond-in-the-rough, and worth every one of the 5 stars I'm giving.

My favorite was the 1/2 rack of ribs which were smoked to perfection, juicy, had a good amount of bark and a nice smoke line. The menu has salads, pulled pork, brisket etc...You can also grab some chili or Mac-n-cheese if that suits your taste buds. Service here was excellent. Attendants ensured the tables were cleared off promptly to make sure guests had a clean space to eat. Although the food is delicious it IS pricey... $18 for the ribs... If you're hungry and looking for some good bbq this place will hit the spot! Service: excellent Cost: $$ Cleanliness: very clean Seating: limited indoor, tons of outdoor seating Ambiance: chillaxed

It was not slow service for us like others are saying and really ordering to when the food got to us was pretty quick but I have the mindset that you don't need to have your food to come out within five minutes or ordering. Enjoy the scenery and the company you are with! The folks at the front were great as well and gave the option to sit inside, or outside upstairs or downstairs. Definitely ask for upstairs if you can because the view of the slopes is great! For food we got the deviled eggs which were amazing and tasted great! We also had the pulled pork and the street tacos with chicken, pork, and brisket. The pulled pork tasted amazing even as leftovers as did the street tacos. the tacos had great flavor and we loved the variety. I really enjoyed coming here and will recommend it to my friends and family when they come up!

Super friendly service and very accommodating for my no dairy requirements. I had the veggie burger, which was probably the best veggie burger I've ever had.

Of course, I forgot to take a pic, but, I did manage to document my eating mates selections. See those pics - albeit, half eaten. Upgrade your order to the sweet potato tots, don't even hesitate, they're healthy and come with a mustard seed aioli sauce that makes the whole meal 360 degrees of scrumptiousness. I wish I had room in my pie hole for the donut ice cream sandwich - my only regret. Go off your intended route to try this place. McDonald's and Taco Bell don't need you. There's lovely tables and chairs under the trees that are clean and stocked with napkins and hand sanitizer. A really nice break in our trip!
