Great tender smoky brisket and baked potato, my simple and very enjoyable lunch with husband; his pork and okra were very good also. Servers didn't miss a beat and food came reasonably fast. It was too sports-bar-like for me with all the games on tv (no sound, why is that?) but I bet in summer the patio is a very nice place to sit. I'd stop here again!

Great little place! If I hadn't seen the reviews I might not have stopped in, it is the epitome of the local "hidden treasure"!

Been here a bunch of times, keep hoping it will improve. Friendly staff and owners, locals bar vibe. Totally mediocre BBQ. Super drafty in the winter. Lots of TVs with sports on.

I've ordered a couple dozen pints here and never gotten a full one. Tonight's pour was well over an inch from the top. For the L of G, wait for the head to fall and fill it all the way to 16 oz!

I think I've had all the meats here. Brisket is probably the top, but the pulled pork wasn't bad either. Surprisingly, the salads are the best thing on the menu. Super fresh and flavorful fruits and veggies. "Wait, the salad is the best thing at the BBQ restaurant?" you're probably thinking. Yeah, I know.

Protip: save yourself a couple bucks and get brisket instead if you were thinking of getting burnt ends. Here, those are just big cubes of brisket, rather than all that caramelized crispy goodness you get from real burnt ends or even cubing the point and then tossing it in a glaze and reducing it. Literally just cubed brisket, sauced before being cubed so I don't see how this differs from brisket.

To be fair, this would probably be considered great BBQ in Massachusetts, where the owners are from. But Colorado has some really great BBQ, so I'm just disappointed every time I give this place another try. Just doesn't compare to real Texas brisket and BBQ. Try this next to food from Post Oak and you'll see what I mean.

Anyway, see y'all again in about 6 months.

Not a big review person , but after driving up and down the mountains so often and coming here figured it was time .
I love this place . Coming back down from the mountains this is always a great stop if you can wait longer on the road instead of stopping in Idaho springs its worth it (especially because all those restaurants in the springs are usually packed and you have to wait forever for your food ). Its often busy here but the wait is never very long , and for a pub the food selection is great . Can get any meet i want to choose from as well as seafood . Definitely not limited to just BBQ , which is great. My favorites tho , the coleslaw and potato salad to go with the Italian Sausage .

Vegetarian options: Salads and such
