Apparently they sold out on Friday in the they were supposed to open up on Saturday but they never showed up so apparently when they sold out on Friday they were sold out on Saturday and they did not post anything on their Facebook and when I called them they did not say anything on their voicemail very disappointed

First off, be prepared to wait. I really love the brisket. I’m not a huge fan of sausage links, but other stuff is awesome. Sides are good. The only thing that sucks is the sauce. They charge you for it and it’s a lot. 2 little tiny containers is $1.50. Seems like a cash grab as almost all bbq spots have it available for free. The sauce is not Texas quality either. It’s not my cup of tea. Luckily you don’t need it. The meat is that good.

They also overcharged me. Waiting to see what they will do about it.

Seriously the best bbq I've had in Colorado. We got brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and sausage with a few sides. Absolutely incredible! Definitely get in line before they open, they sell out quick

Solid 5-star BBQ joint. Great BBQ hall atmosphere. Excellent ribs and sauces. Loved the green chili Mac n cheese. Even the zesty coleslaw worth it. Sadly, they were sold out of brisket, so I guess I'm coming back tomorrow!

The best barbecue I’ve had in Colorado. Period. The brisket is perfect with a great crust, the fat rendered and fall apart tender. It’s real Texas brisket so it’s super smoky and not sweet.
The ribs are the best I’ve ever had. Super meaty and a crust with enough bite and sweet.
The candied pork belly is fantastic. You don’t need a lot because it’s so rich, but try it.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. When we arrived just before opening there were about 40 people in line already. Because the staff knows what they are doing it moved fast once the doors opened.
I didn’t care for the pulled pork. The meat is nice but the flavor base doesn’t work for me. I need some vinegar in there!
We had the garlic mash and the green chili mac. Both good, both a bit salty and the mac needs more green.
The peach cobbler was good, but very bready with few peaches. After a rich meal like this you don’t need more bread you need the peaches!

10/5/24 Update:
It just keeps getting better. Wayne's commitment to barbecue excellence knows no bounds. You won't find a more detail-oriented pitmaster anywhere.

9/15/24 Update: This is still the best BBQ in the state of Colorado. If you are anywhere in the Denver metro it is worth the drive to Superior for this exceptional barbecue.

Original Review:
As a 10-year resident of Kansas City, and a former fat guy, I know a thing or two about consuming smoked meats.

This is, hands-down, the best authentic Texas-style barbecue in Colorado.
The establishment is inviting and the staff are upbeat, fun and welcoming.
There is an incredible smell that emits from the establishment. My partner, who is natively from TX, explained to me that smell "is what Texas smells like." Proper.

I am perfectly satisfied. This is by far the most carefully prepared and delicious BBQ anywhere around. I have not had another local establishment's barbecue that is even worth comparing to the amazing glory that is Wayne's Smoke Shack.

Are you getting barbecue in Colorado from another restaurant? Then you're doing it wrong. Unless you are smoking meat in your backyard and are winning BBQ competitions, you have no excuse to not visit these exceptional meat magicians.

They don't put any sauce on the meat. It doesn't need it. Yes, they have three kinds of homemade sauces, if you need it. Original (Molasses action), Texas Style (Sweet & Tangy), and Southern Heat (Peppery). However, the 24-28 hour cooking process for all the meats ensures they are substantially juicier than any other smoked meat I've found here in Colorado.

I just finished consuming:
The most perfectly cooked and seasoned ribs I have ever eaten. No other memory of ribs even approaches the apex of rib-glory these meatsmiths have procured.

Brisket that is so juicy it *literally* melts in my facehole.

Sausage for DAYS. Delicious. The casing had the right texture to make the bites extra crisp and satisfying, and the inner contents of the sausage were impeccably delicious, seasoned to perfection.

REAL FUCKING SIDES. Mac & Cheese. Baked Beans. Mashed Taters. You know. This place is the genuine article if you are looking for flawlessly executed Texas-style barbecue in Colorado.

Go here and eat barbecue. Any day except Monday, from 11am until they're out of meat. They are usually out of meat by 2pm. That's how good it is. GO. GO NOW AND SATISFY YOUR BARBECUE FANTASY.

Kid-friendliness: Family-run restaurant that treats everyone with kindness, and their barbecue is among the best of all finger-foods.

Best BBQ ever! I’m from out of town and stopped here for lunch. I’m glad I did. Ordered the beef brisket, sausage and was lucky to get the last 6 ribs. Brisket was tender and delicious. Ribs are like none I’ve ever eaten. The rub and sauce were very flavorful and the meat just fell off the bone. Sausage was very good also. Loved the flavor of everything I tried. When I’m back in Colorado, hopefully soon, I’ll be sure to stop at Wayne’s for more BBQ. Thank you for the best BBQ ever!

Although the food was phenomenal, I refuse to return to a place that charges extra for barbecue sauce and a service fee considering the prices are extremely high alone.

Overpriced. Not that great. A BBQ place that charges for BBQ sauce… all you really need to know. This is the second chance I’ve given it and the second time I’ve been disappointed. $80 for two meals btw. Don’t pay extra for the “toffee pudding” it’s just a stick of butter covered in sugar on a small piece of spiced bread. Not great.
