    1/2 pound of brisket sides: mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, pulled pork bean. The bag contains 2 lbs of brisket, 1/2 side if my baby back.

    Dammmm. This place rivals Terry Blacks in Austin Texas. Locals line up when it opens. Brisket is unbelievable Bring your wallet, this quality is not cheap. Oh, it's only open 11-3 Friday and Saturday

    We arrived about 30 minutes before the 11am opening time. There was already a handful of people ahead of us. My advice is to arrive early because lines can get long and items can sell out quickly. Both items i tried were some of the best I have ever had anywhere. The sliced brisket was so tender and really didn't need sauce. Besides, the sauce is extra! I'm no expert in TX BBQ but this team is definitely doing something right because people are driving from all over the city to wait in long lines just to get a taste. You should do the same.... Enjoy!!!

    Ribs (top), pulled pork (right side), moist brisket (left side). All tender and delicious!

    The best barbecue I've ever had, especially the moist brisket, ribs (with this delicious crackly sugar crust), and pulled pork (which I normally don't like but blew me away!). Definitely surprised at how expensive a meal for 2 people turned out to be, so more of a one-in-a-while treat but WOW incredible! Candied jalapeños were tasty, but $1 a piece, which I found somewhat annoying. Get yourself there!

    Truly the best bbq meal I've ever had. The owners are great, super friendly and helpful for newbies. And to top it off, the music slaps. 10/10

    Candied pork belly, Smoked Turkey, Peach Cobbler

    Honestly this is hands down the best BBQ in CO. The meat was moist and super delicious. Here is how I would rank the meat: 1. Smoked Turkey 2. Ribs 3. Candied Pork Belly 4. Ham 5. Brisket This place has THE BEST Turkey. I kid you not. Super juicy, flavorful and tender. The ribs were fall off the bone. Candied pork belly had the right candied-ness and sweetness. Also the peach cobbler had a really good brown sugar and cinnamon top crust. Great way to end the meal. Lastly I recommend the Heat sauce. Other two sauces were okay. You don't really need much though since the meat themselves have so much flavor!

    Outside, some picnic tables, lots of sitting inside though

    Wayne... you are a master pitmaster. This is good ole smoked Texas BBQ. So let's just get down to what you want to know... THE MEATS Ribs - 5+ Pork Belly - 5+ Smoked Salmon - 5+ Fatty Brisket - 5 Okay, let's explain. The Ribs and Smoked Salmon were my favorite, while the Pork Belly was my other half's favorite. However, I'd truly have all four meats again and again! They were Grade A, Top Quality in flavor, seasoning and juiciness. THE SIDES Homemade Bread - 5+ Mac N' Cheese - 4 Okay, let's explain. The Homemade Bread may have been our favorite part of the whole meal! It was fluffy, fresh and the perfect vessel for our Fatty Brisket. Together, the combo was a 5++ for make it at your table Brisket BBQ Sandwich. THE SAUCES Mild BBQ Sauce - 5 Hot BBQ Sauce - 5+ Okay, let's explain. The Hot BBQ Sauce had such a great tang and kick to it's sweetness. I'll probably just ask for that one next time! I'd like to note that they do have Gold BBQ Sauce. I tried it since Gold BBQ Sauce is not my sauce of tea, I do not feel right judging it. THE ATMOSPHERE It's a pretty basic BBQ joint: you wait in line, you ask for your cuts of meat, you choose your sides, you pay the cashier and sit at a picnic table to eat. The biggest difference for me (coming from living in Texas for 10 years) is that it's not out in the country and there was no free beer given to customers waiting in line... instead it's in a nice shopping center! Oh and they do not serve beer, but do have coke in a bottle. For me, that's an okay switch up! *WARNING & ONLY CONSTRUCTIVE CRITIC* You have to pay for your BBQ sauce. I did not know this when I was choosing my BBQ sauce, so of course, I said two of each. We ended up spending almost $5 extra dollars on sauce and then not even using all of it. Personally, I have never been to BBQ spot that did this. It would have been cool to be given either a heads up of it's cost per unit or at least two on the house, especially considering we spent upwards of $80 dollars just on BBQ. GO BACK? Hell yeah, for sure. Again, it's good ole smoked Texas BBQ! And, definitely the BEST BBQ we've had in Colorado!

    I can see why Wayne's Smoke Shack is so highly rated! Based on the reviews, I was prepared for a line out the door during lunchtime. I was surprised to see only a few people inside (I wonder if the sudden snowfall had something to do with it). More BBQ for us I guess! - Brisket: We ordered a pound, which sounds like a lot, doesn't look like a lot (4 thick slices), but as other reviews have said, it's also deceptively filling! We were given the option of choosing either the juicy part or the more lean part, which no other BBQ joint we've been to has done before. - Macaroni and cheese: Thick and creamy. - Homemade bread: Soft, fluffy, and perfect for making a brisket sandwich. - A pickled jalapeno: The Mr thought I would like an entire pickled jalapeno for some reason lol. I like that it wasn't too sour. - BBQ sauces: OG was definitely our favorite; classic savory and sweet. The mustard one was nice as well. The heat has a nice kick. For some reason it reminded me of the Mexican candies I had as a kid (maybe hinting at a tamarind flavor?) I think everything is a la carte. Their BBQ sauces are not complimentary; you pay for each one, but it's quite affordable. There are so many sides to choose from! I'd love to come back and try their homemade banana pudding and sticky toffee bun. I wish I had been better about getting names, but everyone here was friendly and you can tell how passionate they are about their craft. The place is big with plenty of seating. Located in a plaza with plenty of parking.

    Excellent Texas style bbq. Probably the best brisket I've had in Colorado. The candied pork belly was also delicious. The turkey was very tender and had great flavor. The beans had an interesting flavor, different than any I've had but I didn't love them. Peach cobbler was good, we got the last bit of it so it was light on peaches. I love that they use plates and utensils for dine in. Just need to add reusable cups.

    Best BBQ in CO. Brisket so rich, you'll need to be rolled out on a gurney. Turkey so juicy, you'll never go thirsty.

    Great off-the-beaten-path bistro with excellent food and an aviation atmosphere…read more I ordered the 1/2 sandwich and cup of soup combo. Sandwich was the Tail Dragger sandwich (Black Forest ham, oven-roasted turkey, pastrami, salami, Swiss, provolone, and mayo on sourdough) along with Jalapeño Beer Cheese soup. The sandwich was spot on, well toasted with a satisfying crunch, melty cheese, and layers of flavor in every bite. The soup was equally impressive: rich, cheesy, and savory with just the right amount of jalapeño kick without being overpowering. There was a fairly large group of older / retired folks who had just ordered when I arrived. Whether they were waiting on a charter flight or this is a regular Wednesday gathering, the place had a fun atmosphere. Despite the crowd and several pending orders, my food came out faster than expected. As an added bonus, the Vegas Golden Knights' jet was parked on the tarmac, which was very cool to see. This place reinforces my theory that FBOs and semi-private airports often have some of the best hidden gem diners and bistros, places usually known only to flight crews and private pilots. Definitely worth the stop.

Our waitress was amazing - friendly, made great recommendations, and talked us through the menu, answer all of our questions thoroughly. We ordered the streak tartare app, clearly a staff favorite and they put a unique twist on the standard dish with mushrooms and a divine Dijon mustard sauce. The bread was baked to perfection - crunchy but soft all at the same time. My friend got the salmon, cooked to medium and I got the Jamaican jerk chicken which was not very spicy and contained a lot of flavor. The mango chutney and green mojo combo was complex and paired well with the chicken. My friend devoured she salmon so one can only assume it was delicious! I would highly recommend if you are looking for a date night or dinner with a friend and you're in the Broomfield area, Hickory and Ash is the spot!
