Some of the best brisket I've ever eaten! So good I got some sauce on my shirt. This seems like a local favorite; or a hidden gem for a tourist. It's not fancy. Just great food and service at good prices. If you like barbeque, you have to check this place out!
We are on a 4 state road trip. We stopped in smoking yard today for a late lunch. The food and service was absolutely amazing. I got the burnt end and my wife got the fried catfish. I couldn’t have been more impressed. Great job.
The best bbq joint around. I love this place and have to return regularly. We have two members of our family with Celiacs, and they are able to safely enjoy many of the delicious offerings from the menu.
Came back in for Lunch & I had the Burnt end’s sandwich with fried okra & it was Absolutely Delicious! Okra was piping hot & my sandwich was juicy, Smokey & Salty (not to much so.) paired with the sweet sauce Just Fantastic! Great place for a great Lunch & all around Darn good Que!!! Absolutely 100% recommend ??
Finally, some BBQ done right.I have been on the quest to find acceptable BBQ in this state and haven’t been satisfied by the “western” twist many local joints have put on their food. Smokin Yard keeps it simple— meat is dry rubbed and smoked, and while the sauces are fantastic there’s really no need for them as the meat itself is both loaded with flavor and juicy/tender.I arrived about 10 minutes before they opened on a Wednesday. There was one other guy in line and he was telling his buddy on the phone that he would save him some scraps as the place gets slammed. He wasn’t joking. 15 minutes in and there had to be 40 people in line. Burnt ends were sold out before I left the place (they were to die for, if you were wondering).Ribs, phenomenal and cooked so well you couldn’t differentiate between what was meat and what was cartilage/fat. Like butter and slid right off the bone.Catfish. One word Id never thought would be appropriate for this bottom feeding delicacy would be “exquisite” but they more than earned it. Simply fried in lightly seasoned cornmeal and served with lemon. Fish was fresh and tender.Burnt ends. No need for comment here, they speak for themselves but good luck getting ahold of any.Fried Okra was fresh and not the pre made frozen Sysco type. Still had a nice crunch and served with fabulous ranch.Mac n Cheese was homemade and not too heavy like most. I’m used to BBQ joints serving Mac and cheese that’s scooped with an ice cream scoop and about as thick as mashed potatoes and this was a refreshing change.BOILED PEANUTS….. my late father used to make these on the weekends. Haven’t found them anywhere in town. Boy did these take me back.And lastly the sweet tea was top notch, although at the price of $3 I would have liked a little more than their tiny 12 Oz plastic cups worth.Can’t wait to go back!
Recently my sister and her family were in denver an we ordered ribs. The comments mase were "delicious" "flavorful" "best in denver". Thanks for making their last night here memorable with your great food!
This place was amazing! Great food and awesome customer service. I got the Carolina Pulled Pork with spicy coleslaw and a side of fried pickles. My friend got ribs and side of beans. Portions were adequate for the price and very filling. Would definitely go there again!
This is by far THE best food I've had in Colorado, and THE best BBQ I've had ever. Juicy, tender and plentiful portions. So much to choose from, reasonable prices too. If you're dining in, grab a table and order at the counter (or vice versa). Your food will be be brought to your table by super friendly and attentive staff. The BBQ sauces are great. Three to choose from. I loved them all - and I typically do not care for chipotle anything. Do yourself a favor and get in this place - a delightfully delicious meal.
Went on a Sunday for lunch...busy but not SO busy that the gal behind the counter couldn't take the time to explain what we should order as first-timers. Decided on the four meat combo with three sides...brisket, sausage, pulled pork and burnt ends - delish!! Three choices of sauces to accompany our choices - with varying degrees of sweet and heat. Enjoyed it all. Order at the counter and they bring it to your table. We were checked on three times while seated. Awesome. Great bbq experience:)
Best BBQ in Denver we have had so far. The baby back ribs are solid and the Carolina pulled pork is very flavorful. Loved the chili side, as well. Brisket isnt top tier TX standard, but still very good.
