Wonderful service and delicious brisket! We stopped here after Meow Wolf and my son was like: mommy look "bbq and beer" and I was like ok...let's give a try and we were happy we did. We ordered the brisket with mac and cheese (too die for) but on the small side. I decided to try the brisket sandwich in a brioche bread and came with a side of potato salad and chips. They also have beer on tap. The place is not fancy but cozy. If you're in the area make sure to stop by. read more

As I walked into this establishment, I heard the music of John Prine. There is limited seating inside; however, they do offer take out and there is a brewery next door. We were greeted by a wonderful employee who made our visit so enjoyable. we had not been here before, so we decided to order a bit of everything and share. I've heard that if the BBQ is good, you don't need sauce. This is so true here. Everything has such amazing flavor and I can not pick a favorite. Unfortunately, they offer Coca-Cola products. However, there is alcohol available. They also had a cream soda from Boyland Bottling. I decided to try that and was very happy with it. This will be a regular stop for me. Santa Fe is lucky to have this place. read more

We got there right after opening for dinner. We were greeted right away and our order came out fast. We both ordered 1/2 a rack of ribs and some brisket. Excellent smoke flavor and the meat was tender. Texas style so the sauce is on the side. It's a small place but has plenty of seating. Check the schedule and you make get some live music to go with your BBQ. Definitely would come back. read more

I had my first visit to DT's yesterday. I went for the bluegrass music jam and performance, and to try their food. In all my reviews, I automatically add one star for places that feature live music. The staff is friendly and energetic. The setting is rustic and comfortable. DT is the pitmaster and also a guitar master. I appreciate that a smokehouse has a tofu option, which I tried and really enjoyed. Prices are excellent. All in all: a fantastic Sunday afternoon. Great food, great music in a relaxed setting. The music jam session was fun, and the performance that followed was top notch bluegrass. read more

They serve proper brisket, trimmed well and smoked for 13 hours. The owner, David Thom, was mentored by legendary Texas BBQ pit master from Black's BBQ in Lockhart, TX. As a native Texan, I try brisket everywhere I go. This joint does not disappoint. read more

Stopped through on vacation in Santa Fe. This place is exactly what you think of when you think hole in the wall. Very casual out of a garage and dynamite ribs and burnt ends. This is worth the trip for the food and the owners choice in music! read more

Saturday restaurant review time.. this one in #santafenewmexico. Uncle DTs BBQ is located in a garage, which almost made Mark turn around before trusting the process. We were treated to a meal of brisket and chicken with Mac and Cheese, Beans, Potato Chips, and Curry Slaw (which Mark enjoyed!). Due to my food allergies, I was able to get the Mac and Cheese as a side for my platter. (Note: for my vegetarian friends, they also serve tofu!) At a certain point, we were treated to a taste of really delicious cherry pie in an effort to "get us hooked." The crust and filling were equally memorable and we are highly looking forward to our next visit! Absolutely home run out of the ballpark! Definitely gets my 5/5! https://uncledt.com Now hopefully we get some famous critics to go there and drum up more biz for them #gourmetrecovery #uncledt #santaferestaurants #rundontwalk read more

I respect and support small businesses. The barbecue is top notch. Barbecue sauce was tasty but would have liked a second choice of sauce. The slaw is not the standard but liked the change. The owner does it all! Service is a little slow but we were not in any hurry. read more

Best BBQ in the state! We finally found a place to rival our favorite BBQ food truck in Albuquerque. This place is the real deal... totally worth a drive up to Santa Fe from Albuquerque! We tried a full rack of red chile ribs and a few sides. Everything was outstanding! Our new favorite! Update: Another 5-star review after our smoked turkey Thanksgiving. Best turkey ever! read more

It's ok. From the outside, the smells are heavenly. The food experience didn't quite live up to the hope. We sampled beef and pork ribs. Both were in my opinion under seasoned; the rubs were difficult to taste. Neither had strong bark. There are schools of argument about the right amount of bite that a rib should have, and I'm in "fall off the bone" camp, so I felt like there was too much chew. The house sauce, which is a sweet and spicy mustard base, did redeem them, but overall one star off for being not bad cue, but not great. The other lost star is that sides are very meh. There's only one option that doesn't invoice mayonnaise, and three of our four eaters hate mayo. I think their curry slaw is decent, but I really wanted an option that was vinegar based to cut the fat. Beans were decent, but come on, at least add a mac and cheese for the kids. Not bad, and very convenient if you're Meow Wolf ing, but not worth going out of the way for. read more

I've tried this place twice for takeout. I LOVE the bluegrass that is always playing there. We've tried the pulled chicken, BBQ chicken, brisket, AND salmon! All were tasty! Sides are not a "hit" for me... I tried the jalapeño cornbread. I thought it was a bit too dry & I like "normal, unflavored" cornbread... and the potato salad was a bit too dry for me, as well (I AM a mayo LOVER.) The last time I picked up, they forgot (?) to add any BBQ sauces...but the pulled chicken had enough seasoning on it to be ok... The brisket was juicy & delicious, as usual, but could have used the sauce. I haven't tried a lot of BBQ in town yet... but I'm from TX so I'm PICKY. read more

A rustic down-to-earth place. The gentleman who took our pre-order was friendly and knowledgeable about his products. You must enjoy BBQ to eat here. read more

Pretty good BBQ at a reasonable price. I tried the Brisket Sandwich and Potato Salad which both were tasty. Nice little dinning area open to the outside, friendly staff and food comes out fast. I like Steely Dan was being played while I dined in. Will return to try mac n cheese, ribs and brisket. read more

My cousin and I LOVED this place. Unassuming outside that's really cozy once you come in. And we got to meet Uncle DT himself who was super nice and check in on us but let us enjoy our food (good balance of friendliness haha)! I would definitely get the sandwich again; the meat melted into the soft bread perfectly to create an amazing, rich bite. The other dish was my cousin's who also greatly enjoyed herself here. We also got the cornbread with hatch chilis and ice cream on top which was INCREDIBLE! Wanna come back next time I'm visiting Santa Fe!! Also SO CLOSE to Meow Wolf if you're visiting read more

We had just left Meow Wolf and were headed back home, when we passed this BBQ joint at 8pm on the dot. It smelled so good as we drove by that we turned around to go back! They were just closing, but were nice enough and willing to fix us 4 bbq brisket sandwiches, coleslaw, and potato chips to take with us as takeout. The brisket was tender, juicy and smoky - perfect. The coleslaw has cumin in it, I believe, which had a different flavor profile than this Dallasite is used to, but it was good. The cornbread was thick and a little crumbly with lots of whole kernel corn and green chiles, and was probably better hot out of the oven, but still had a nice flavor. The brisket was the real star of this meal. Only seating for about 8-10 folks and that includes the 4 bar stools outside against railing. It's basically just a small counter space with a table or two and a piano. It's in an old industrial area, and looks like it might have previously been an automotive shop as it has a roll down garage door. read more

Traveling from out of town Uncle DT's came highly recommended by many locals. Uncle DT's did not disappoint. Great BBQ, great service, and unlike many recommended "hole in the wall" restaurants this is a literal hole on the wall. Met all of our expectations for BBQ!! read more

Simple but delicious brisket and pulled chicken sandwiches. The beans were outstanding as well. Nice small venue with limited seating.

We were traveling from Chicago home of some really good barbecue, and this could compete! I loved the ambiance, lots of character, especially the frontman/server! Of course, loved the brisket and tips, but honorable mention to the delicious potato salad and Mac n cheese! Very flavorful. I would definitely recommend to anyone near Santa Fe. I also enjoyed the bluegrass music playing and I see that they have live music sometimes. Super cute place and 5 year old approved. read more

Always tasty, great service, always friendly! There's a lot of music night, but I haven't done it yet...

Just went there for the first time and have to say it was the BEST bbq we have ever had! The music was also awesome...I would highly recommend them...as a matter of fact I e are going to have them cater our Labor Day bbq read more

I've lived in Texas and I now live in NC. Not only is Uncle DT's the best BBQ in Santa Fe, it's some of the best BBQ I've ever had. The brisket is perfection. Keep it up, Uncle DT! read more

Great place to get your Texas BBQ fix when in Santa Fe. They have live music and are close to Rufina Street Tap Room and Meow Wolf. Bluegrass for the win. read more

We were sadly disappointed with the ribs and chicken last night. The chicken was bloody and the ribs had a huge layer of fat on the top of them that was thicker than the meat on the bone. We love this place and have ordered from them many times, this was definitely atypical. read more

My first time eating there and I enjoyed my order and service and pleasant. I was very impressed with the choices and menu.

The ribs were tasty and the pitmaster/owner was friendly, with good taste in music. Not cheap but good BBQ has its price.

The barbecue is great. The baby back ribs were some of the best we have ever eaten. Uncle DT's bluegrass band rivals bands we have heard in Nashville, Arkansas and Kentucky. This is a hidden Santa Fe gem! read more

Delicious BBQ. Place is all of 4 weeks old and Dave (as in DT) has the recipes down. Brisket was to die for. Pulled pork has his own sauce. Right next to Meow Wolf. read more

Really great option for bbq in Santa Fe. My kind of place. Obscure, out of the way location that only the locals will go to. Great homemade sauce and the pulled pork is smoked just right. Strongly recommend! read more

The dining area is small and spartan, but the food was great! You have a direct relationship with Pitmaster Dave as he handles everything personally. Brisket was tender and the baby back ribs came off the bone easily. read more

When you are open and accept an order, you fill the order, not notify the customer when it's due that you're canceling. And when you cancel, perhaps for a good reason, like out of stock, letting the customer know the reason, that would be useful, too. Because, who knows, maybe I'd settle for something else. read more

Wow! This place has curbside pickup perfected!! Totally contactless. My boyfriend and I ordered the full rack plate and cornbread to share. When we smelled it, we honestly couldn't wait to get home to eat it, so we ate in our car in their parking lot. They have enough spaces that you don't need to be near anyone, even just in your car. I would post a picture of our meal but we were like little kids with our hands and faces covered in sauce, and the food was gobbled down before it occurred to me to document it. The ribs actually do just fall off the bone. Like that is not an exaggeration. And the cornbread was dense and sweet and salty AND had a hint of green chile. It's a must have. I can't wait to come back and try the pulled pork sandwich. If I wasn't so full, I'd have ordered it for dessert. read more

The food is quite good - not KC good, but one has to temper expectations. A little curry in the slaw, which is different from KC The knocked star is for the location. Flies and a bathroom/sink without soap. read more

If you enjoy ribs with as much fat if not more than meat and a mustard/vinegar sauce, then these are the ribs for you. The slaw also had mustard which was a new experience for me. Not one that I want to repeat. read more

Awesome food down to the last bite, I couldn't tell what was better between the pojoaque spare ribs and the spicy sauce (optional), or the baked beans, or the aunt dee's potato salad. Nice touch in the potato salad with green beans. The baked beans are awesome down to the last soppy bite soaked into the dinner roll. The ribs for sure are made to bet served with the sauce, I'll have to try the less spicy next time. Definitely will come back, perhaps to second street riding taproom and some food next door! read more

The family likes the food but really expensive. $31 for a pound of brisket? Pricey. Whole Hog has it for $19.96 per pound.

Ordered delivery- We got the big boy sandwich and the smoked chicken. Both dishes were extremely flavorful and were everything we hoped for- definitely answered our bbq craving! Recommend read more

Food was very good! Mac & cheese yummy creamy. Brisket was tasty perfectly smoked and moist. Out of the way funky food place services was great warmed our bellies and left full! read more

Best BBQ I have had in a bit! Ribs, chicken and potato salad were at the top of the list, but the pork and brisket were so so so good! Great sauces too! Hit this place up if you go to Santa Fe!!!!! read more

Uncle DT sent me a package that I ordered online. It was filled with the most delicious pulled pork and other wonderful goodies and it was still frozen even though I live in Northern California. I highly recommend stopping by this BBQ joint in Santa Fe if you want to taste some great food. I will be stopping by in about 10 days to get some more of Uncle DT's great food !!! This is one of the reasons I go to Santa Fe now !! David really knows what he is doing when it comes to making great BBQ !!!! read more
