“This really is a Denver jewel. Coming from the South with a strong appreciation for Carolina and Texas BBQ, they hit the mark every time. The ribs, tri tip and brisket are incredibly good and the sides (truffle Mac n’ cheese, slaw, cornbread, bbq beans) are excellent. Service with a smile? Always. Happy smiling customers? Yep. Best BBQ in Denver? Absolutely. Unconventional, rough and sparkly, we love this place.“

“Showed up right when they opened, took about ten minutes to order and another ten minutes for the food to come. It felt like a while in the moment, but I think I just showed up on a day that they had a slow start.I only got the Loco-Moco to go. It was very hearty, the portion was large and the gravy had great rich flavor to it. For my first Loco Moco, I was impressed. The portions are massive too, it was easily two meals.“

“I’m from Memphis. The owner of this restaurant is from Yazoo, MS and was inspired by Memphis style BBQ. He wanted to open up a shop in Memphis, but instead of competing with his friend, Craig (owner of one of Memphis’ best BBQ joints, Central BBQ), he moved to Denver and opened up Yazoo. Let me tell you this place is more than divine. It is literally the best BBQ in Denver without a doubt, and competes with the best in Memphis as well. Congrats to the chefs! Incredible each and every time.“

“Have eaten here a couple of times. The menu is more than ample for anyone looking to satisfy a yen for meaty BBQ goodness. Also, plenty of delicious sides. I recently ate lunch here during my break so no alcohol for me but there is a well optioned bar here for libations. You'll need to enter in to the restaurant from the hotel, either through front lobby or there is a door back by Smok itself. There is a fairly tight parking lot out front or use the hotel parking garage out back. Staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is very casual so don't worry about showing up in your uniform. We will be back here again.“

“I only have incredible things to say about David and his team! Sam and Will catered our wedding with a taco buffet, followed by churros and then returned the next day to help us host a game day for our guests and did bbq food from the food truck. Our guests raved about their food - especially the mac and cheese and churros!David was absolutely amazing leading up to the wedding. He always responded within a day or so, was responsive to my event coordinator, and was so patient with our million questions while planning a wedding. He was so friendly and personable when we met him to do a tasting.Our guests loved Sam and Will!!! They were so so sweet during our wedding weekend, worked so well with our coordinator, and made sure to check in on us during the wedding.Everyone should book this wonderful group immediately :)“
