Overall Rating and is it worth a visit: 8.5 to 9/10 and yes it is. For overall quality of their offerings, they are easily in the top 5 of Colorado for the all around category. While no particular meat takes the gold medal for being the best in the state, their ability to produce tasty barbecue across pretty much their entire offering is something not easily accomplished. As such, this would be one of the few places in the state I would be comfortable recommending to a large group of food enthusiasts who have a wide range of tastes to try and please, as everyone is sure to be able to find something they like here

Brisket

0/10 Ranking: 8/10

Seasoning: (Unsure)

Description: After talking with staff, was told they smoke their brisket for 14 hours typically. My cuts had about 1/4 inch of red smoke ring going through it, but they were a very lean pieces with the majority of the fat being trimmed off. That said, it was juicier than it appeared, but could use a lot more bark to it, as the pieces I received had minimal to none left on them. The barbecue sauce, if used, ends up overtaking the base meat flavor to the point that the sauce is all that shines through, so if you are using it, spread/dip with a delicate hand. While the brisket was average, it did offer a good pepper and seasoning flavor when some could be found, with it also being at the minimum moisture level for it to still be declared juicy. When comparing the smoke level to other bbq places in Colorado, this one does take the gold for being the most intense with it’s hickory taste beaming strongly. If a smoky flavored brisket is your goal, you’d be hard pressed to find one somewhere else in the front range

Burnt Ends

0/10 Ranking: 9/10

Seasoning: (Unsure)

Description: Smoked for 16-17 hours, they were extremely moist and had a strong smoke flavor running through them. They were also a great blend of fat and meat having been trimmed well. Similar to the brisket though, the salt and pepper and possibly another seasoning flavors were not coming through as much as I would have liked and needs just a little something else for it to take top burnt ends in the state

St Louis Style Spare Ribs 

0/10 Ranking: 8.5 to 9/10

Description: Smoked for 5 hours, the ribs were extremely juicy and may be the juiciest in Colorado. The outer layering of seasoning had really good flavor and a dash of of maybe cinnamon in the blend, couldn’t really put my finger on it. The meat itself could have used a bit more flavor, but still a very good rib overall. Would put them in the top 5 for ribs in the state

Pulled Pork

0/10 Ranking: 8.5 to 9/10

Description: The pulled pork has the most smoke flavor of any I’ve found in Colorado. It was moist with good overall flavor that doesn’t require any sauce to enjoy, but if you do use the sauce, their sweat heat option is better than the original. May be the top pulled pork in the state going toe to toe with GQue BBQ
