Wanted to share my own experience on here after reading that others went through the same situation that I did. We reserved high country bbq for our wedding, food for 165 for my ranch wedding. We visited the shop 12 months before our wedding to taste the food and put down a 50% deposit. Everything was going well and I was checking in leading up to the wedding. The month before our wedding I was inquiring about finally details and he started acting very sketchy . I began to call and text several times a day because I got concerned. Finally seven days before our wedding he said he could not cater our wedding, leaving us absolutely scrambling to find food for a large wedding in a small town. We were able to find catering thankfully (huge shoutout to Stuboys bbq out of Littleton who I cannot recommend highly enough).
Regardless, we told John we would be needing our deposit back. He would reply occasionally with various excuses, saying he would mail a check, pay in installments, but we got nothing. Finally he stopped replying all together. So to this day we have not recieved the thousands of dollars we are owed, an apology for leaving us scrambling or anything. But he has his read receipts on… so we know he’s seen our messages.

Says they're open on Google maps but they're not. Infuriating. Truck didn't even exist. Stop lying to customer. Wasted trip.

They were supposed to cater my friends wedding and never showed up with the food. The company never called and apologized and when they finally called and asked where the food was they didn’t even apologize. Months went by of them asking for a refund and they never gave them one. Awful company and TERRIBLE owner. Take your business elsewhere.

Please do not book High Country BBQ for your wedding. I paid for them to cater my wedding, they never brought the food, never apologized, never issued a refund.
EDIT: Since the owner decided to leave a false reply to my review, let me be clear. I ordered food for 65 people, as I am finishing up my ceremony, I am told by family that High Country BBQ never showed up with the food. We called them and they said they weren’t bringing it, no apologies, no refunds. I’ve called three times trying to get a refund and two months later I’m still out over $1,000.

Never have them cater any event. Food was ether terribly overpriced or they didn’t bother bring enough. When we complained we were told to F Off and hung up on us. Didn’t bring anything to serve the food with and showed up an hour late dropped the food off and took off didn’t even bother to open the containers.

John catered for our wedding on May 23rd. The Family owned, authentic Texas BBQ atmosphere of this restaurant made it appealing to us from the start. The FOOD though is mouth watering good! All our guests were very impressed! You haven’t tasted real Texas in Colorado until you’ve checked out this place.
