Had a great experience! Our server, Ines, was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. We sat on the back patio, which offered a beautiful view of the mountains and the surrounding golden aspens. Food was amazing, Mac and Cheese is so delicious together with Chopped brisket was the best!! We will be back!!! read more

I don't know how this place has such a low rating. The staff was great and so was the food. Our waitress was very sweet and checked on us frequently. 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! read more

The food was great, but the service wasn't. I enjoyed the mac and cheese with pulled pork, although it was expensive at about $20. The staff was nice, but they were sloooooow and it wasn't busy. They were more interested in BSing with each other then serving the customers. Every time I needed something, I had to get up and ask someone. read more

Excellent service and food. Brisket and Turkey were great as were our sides --smoked cream corn and mashed potatoes. Also got to watch the MLB ALDS on tv. read more

I had the brisket and it was fantastic. Tender and just the right amount of smokiness. The service was very good, too. read more

We dropped in for a dirty martini and some live music. But a lot of folks seem to go there for the food. This barbecue house seems to attract folks for their 'que by the pound, smoked wings, and special sauces (espresso whiskey, honey gold, Texas red). It's a large restaurant that spans a few floors, and just about every table was filled upstairs (downstairs is more of a bar-vibe) so families were mostly seated upstairs. They have espresso martini machines and can make some classic hot, wintry drinks too. read more

Got the double burger. Very little meat. No seasonings. Potato salad was not fully cooked or seasoned. Potatoes hard. Nothing special here.

Service and beer were good were good! Food was ok. We order Mac and cheese with brisket and half the brisket was fat and the cheese was velveeta cheese so for $20 not impressed. Corn dog appetizer was ok but the batter wasn't cooked all the way. Overall it was ok I'd go again just for the beer. read more

Had a great experience!!!Our server Ines was really nice and made sure we had everything we needed. We sat on the back patio, which was a really nice, great view of mountain and yellow aspen. The Mac and Chopped Brisket was and definitely a must-try for brisket lovers. The brisket was tender, flavorful, and really good. Definitely must visit if you're in Breckenridge! read more

This place should be higher than 3.7 and I don't say that often. But I recognize when food is good, someone once said, trust the people that have a bit of fat in their bodies because we know how to eat, so I am here telling you this place is good! read more

Walking by I didn't smell the smoke, but I had to give it a try! Good local beer selection so I chose a pint! Opted for the 2 meat platter and opted for the brisket and sausage... both were tasty, and a large portion. Chose the beans as my side, and they were a decent bbq flavor. Ambiance is basement frat bar, service was at the bar and spotty, and prices are in line with expectation... I love bbq, but this joint does not make the list. read more

Super fun place to visit when in Breck. We had a great spot during a great live entertainment show. Drinks and food are solid here as well. Friendly staff and they are fast and efficient considering how crowded it was. It's a place we will come back to on our next trip here. read more

Ehh. We popped in for dinner and got right in. The brisket plate and burger was okay. The portions are on the smaller side but the brisket tacos were pretty good. They had live music starting at 8:30 if you're ever looking for that. read more

Logan M our server was excellent! We had Smokehouse Nachos, Mac and cheese, waffle fries, gumbo, double smash-burger - and two skinny margaritas. The resteraunt was a bit slow but everything was perfect. No noise, great service, and warm & toasty read more

A bit pricey, good came out extremely fast so I'm not sure on how fresh their BBQ is. Drinks are good! read more

Don't get chicken wings. Don't do it. After eating 2 wings I went to eat another and there were FEATHERS! It was horrific. The manager said omg, those come to us that way I would have expected at minimum an apology or meal comp. They said they would take them off the check. It was really so gross. read more

Have to give credit because for most of the things in their control, Whiskey Star excelled. A big restaurant on Main Street in Breckenridge often lends itself to poor service and long wait times. That was not the case at all here. We were seated quickly and the food came out a lot sooner than we all expected. The table shared Smokehouse Nachos with brisket and they were excellent. Good chips and toppings, loaded with tender meat. The manager even helped bus the tables because they were busy and they brought out a complimentary piece of cake for a birthday we were celebrating. The inside of the restaurant resembles a Western saloon and there is nice patio seating. Unfortunately, the entrees all left a lot to be desired. I got a salad with smoked chicken that was very dry and bland. The Brisket Mac n Cheese wasn't nearly as good as the meat from the nachos and most of the others at the table were underwhelmed with their orders. Inconsistent with the meals, but a safe play in an area where you can wait a lot longer for less appetizing food. read more

HANDS DOWN BEST BBQ IN BRECK! Y'all gotta check em out. Spent a lot of time in Texas and had plenty of bbq down there. This place lives up to the name. Great flavor in the meats. Sides are delicious. Pecan pie was really good. The whiskey and the tequila old fashions were very good! Our kiddo destroyed the rib sampler without speaking a word. Gotta check these guys out while in Breckenridge. read more

For our first night in Breckenridge, we wanted something quick to pick up and enjoy at our Airbnb. This BBQ joint was within walking distance so we placed orders online and went to pick up our order. It was hard to pick off their menu so I ended up with a sample of brisket ($9), turkey ($8), mashed potatoes ($4.50) and mac and cheese ($4.50). I liked that I could order 4 oz portions of the meat so it wasn't too much food but I still got a good variety. read more

Went for happy hour. 7 dollars for wine. 3 dollars deviled eggs- which really was deviled egg. lol. But overall good experience. The server was the best part. Really friendly and patient and nice. read more

Everything we had here tonight was delicious! We split a two meat platter, then ordered two extra sides and a 1/4 pound of meat - it was plenty (with some leftovers too!) for my husband and me. We had sliced brisket and pulled pork on the platter and both were so tender and full of flavor. The platter came with one small side, so we ordered collard greens. My goodness, they were some of the best I've ever had at a restaurant. We had the chopped brisket as the additional 1/4 pound of meat and it was perfectly cooked and delicious as well - my husband said that was his favorite meat of the meal. We also highly suggest the candied sweet potatoes and the smoked cream corn... holy wow! Both were incredible! The BBQ sauces on the table were really tasty too. They have a Texas red, spicy Texas red, sweet Carolina mustard, and a sweet espresso... I found myself alternating between the four with each bite I took. The staff were awesome, too. They were all really friendly and accommodating to guests with special requests. The host asked where a group would like to sit and the servers even helped them move when they were unclear about where the patio was (they serve $9 margaritas on the patio!). From the first person we spoke to, to the kitchen staff we passed as we left, everyone was great! Only two things that were disappointing: 1. We didn't have our dog with us to enjoy the dog friendly patio. 2. This restaurant is a long way from home! We would be here a whole lot if it was closer! But we will definitely come back when we are in town. read more

Found it out on a walk in Breckenridge. Smoker was going in the am definitely caught our attention. Went back for dinner and we were not disappointed. Ate outside on a nice evening. Food was very good, drinks as well. Service was great. We will be back! read more

Great spot for a drink. We didn't get foods but the nachos looked delicious. Our waiter was also great and would definitely go back. They said they have live music on Friday nights too! read more

Overpriced and very, very salty - we tried 3 different meats, as well as sides, and everything was so salty! Food also came out kind of room temp. It wasn't that busy. Service was great though, the staff was super friendly and nice. read more

This is a super fun late night spot in downtown Breckenridge! With over 70 whiskeys to choose from, there is plenty for anyone to enjoy. Pay close attention to their nightly specials, we were able to enjoy high quality rare Irish whiskey at less than half the price! Nothing beats sipping whiskey around a fire pit in the crisp mountain air read more

We went there for dinner with the kids. In short, the food was very good...we got chicken wings, chopped brisket sandwiches, etc. The only real problem was order accuracy. The waitress was super busy and plenty nice bit we ordered pickles and onions with the BBQ sandwiches but they didnt come when the food was delivered and when we reminded the waitress she told someone but maybe ten minutes later we decided to just eat before the food got cold. We told her to forget the pickles and onions but ordered a side of fries. Well we all finished our food and the fries weren't there so we told her to forget the fries too. So the service was friendly and the food was good but I cannot give four or five stars to a restaurant that did not deliver us what we ordered. read more

We love to come here for bbq when we're visiting Breck. We'd heard on one of our earliest visits that the staff is trained by the staff of Franklin's in Austin and if that's still true, I don't know, but the bbq is pretty dang delicious. The Mac n cheese and creamed corn is great, the pulled pork and brisket, phenom. My husband loves to get his shiner bock here (but was surprised it came out in a can, that wasn't always the case in the past). It's definitely picked up in popularity and was pretty busy when we visited at dinner time on a weeknight in early October. They got us seated pretty quickly, service was above average but after the food was delivered we were forgotten for some time, and with kids that's so tough bc once they are done, they're done. Won't stop us from coming back, really good food and worth a visit if you're visiting Breck and craving BBQ! read more

Don't listen to these negative reviews. Honestly, I'm incredibly surprised by them. This is my regular spot. I bring everyone that visits here first. This is always my go to bar to start the night. Live music, great ambiance, fire pit out front, nice workers who are good to talk to and find out what's going on around town, solid BBQ, and great drinks. read more

Ordered 3 drinks, $90. Absolutely insane. One of the three drinks was $12. I could have bought the whole bottle of bourbon for the same price. Would not recommend to anyone who isn't trying to actively break the bank. read more

Terrible experience, got charged for more drinks than we had. I would not suggest anyone go here unless you are okay with terrible service.

We were visiting Breckenridge and wanted somewhere we could sit on the patio with a dog. We had a puppy with us, so that was important to us. They were super accommodating and so nice! The owner/chef even came out to meet us and gave the puppy some brisket. I ordered the brisket platter with cornbread, beans and coleslaw. Everything was super tasty. I loved all the different sauce choices on the table!! This was a great find! read more

I love coming here! The staff are so sweet, and the food is really great. We got the ribs as an app - which were outstanding. And then we split the 1 meat plate... added a side and still have leftovers! We got the 12 hour slow cooked pork and it was incredible! We also love that there are many BBQ flavors to chose from and try at the table read more

Whiskey Star - Ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Breckenridge, Colorado

Super rude and unprofessional. We arrived a few minutes before their kitchen was closing, I specifically asked if it was too late to order food, i would have been fine just ordering drinks. They took our order (two appetizers) just to literally throw the plates on the table and talk amongst each other about how we order food at that time !!! To treat people rudely, why take the order? i would have preferred for them to respectfully let me know we are unable to order food, not a big deal. I hope someone speaks to those employees about treating their customers with some kindness. 0 stars read more

The BBQ here was solid, the Brisket was very good and I really liked the jalapeno sausage. The sides were just ok, the beans and mac and cheese were good but not great and the corn bread was very dry and flavorless. For the meat I'd recommend this place, and maybe skip the sides and let yourself indulge until you're forced to leave from shaking too bad from the meat sweats from the great BBQ read more

Where to start! As kind as I can give them it's not good. Here we go. Service was very slow and chaotic but it was pretty empty. Waitress cleaned tables vs asking for our order. Lost our drink order so food and cocktails came together. I really enjoy BBQ. This was nothing short of tragic. Small portions. Leathery dry brisket that was salt capped. WTF?! Burnt ends were literally burnt dry. Pulled pork was meh, but it was the best of the choices though. Beans were good Greens were decent It was a hard fail. But the Old Fashioned was yummy. Cannot recommend!! Positive reviews can't be from folks that know BBQ. A Texan would be advised to not step in lol. read more
