True smoked meat shouldn't be wet and should taste as natural as possible outside of whatever dry rub blesses the outside. Happily come back all the time and recommend to everyone I know that enjoys BBQ that's closer to Oklahoma/Texas taste/prep. Love the atmosphere, rich in history, service is always on point in making sure I am pleased before/ordering and when I get my food. Keep up the great work yall, I am happy to have a BBQ place to enjoy. Also bad-A for them to allow clientele to actually see their smokers/smoked meat. Doesn't leave me guessing what theyre really doing with their meats!

Got the pulled pork and brisket - the classics judged in every BBQ competition. Everything was overdone, bland, and dry. No smoke. No bark on the brisket. And the brisket was cut so thin you could fold it over four times on half a fork. The mac and cheese was mid/meh. It was all very disappointing. There are many BBQ places in Denver, I'd pass on this one and look elsewhere.

MMM good! Matter of fact, I just talked myself into going there this afternoon 'cause I'm taking my baby to the DBG concert tonight and a bbq picnic from Yazoo will make the party rock!

It's not close from my southeast Denver house at all but I make the trip to go here when I crave for good/quality bbq. Service is (in my frankest sense) solid and this restaurant has never failed in that regard. I always see the same lady manning the front. Her demeanor and speech are always consistent where her professionalism is her strong attribute. Quality is of utmost importance at any restaurant and this place is consistent in that regard as well. Today, I had pulled pork (about 6oz; by the way, you get to pick how much you want as you pay by the weight.) To accompany my meat, I got the Elote Salad and the Jalapeno Corn Bread. These created the perfect combination of balanced breakfast (yup, it was past 11am but it was my first meal of the day!!) It truly filled me up. The ambiance is of a typical bbq place. It's small and yet with the symbiotic relationship with the brewery right next door, the current space size justifies. The customers from said brewery come and get food as "eat-in" to take their plates back to the brewery to eat while brewing themselves up (lol!) Businesses co-exist/co-mingle/co-operate. We all help each other. I am giving my solid high five to Pit Fiend today. This place has my heart.

When they closed, they decided to take the leap of faith, rebrand slightly, and carry on the tradition. Well it's probably been three years at this point, clearly they're succeeding in this tough biz! I used to say one of the quintessential Denver experiences was having a plate of Owlbear while drinking an OMF beer ( the neighboring brewery Our Mutual Friend). I'm happy to report the Pit Fiend and OMF relationship is just as strong, and the experience still remains a very Denver thing to do. Things to note: they are using USDA prime beef brisket, heritage breed duroc pork, and make their sausages and sauces from scratch. So they're doing things the right way, not sacrificing quality, and not taking shortcuts. This is important in the BBQ world!!! Low and slowwwww, baby. We split a half pound of fatty brisket, pulled pork sandwich, mac and cheese, and a cornbread muffin situation. Food was awesome. I was going to town on the brisket. Pulled apart as it should, while still remaining intact. The mac isn't your typical mac, but boy it's rich and cheesy. You can tell they work hard for the community. Sometimes it's overwhelming inside and the staff seems a little behind, but they hustle here. Tip your pitmasters!!!

As I was driving down, the owner called me and let me know they ran out of corn fritters, and only had one order of burnt ends. I went with another order of brisket and changed to corn bread as my other side. I appreciated the call, he was on top of things! I picked up my food and ate it in my car. The beans were thick and full of meat pieces which I love. The corn bread was more like a corn cake. Super buttery and chewy, it was delicious...maybe the best corn bread I have ever had! On to the meats...........Burnt Ends- Meh...they were just ok. 2 pieces of the 6 were straight up fat, with no meat on them. A tad disappointed in that! The brisket was a little dry, but still tasty enough. Their regular bbq sauce is really good, and I dipped my brisket in that. Solid 3 meat plate minus the 2 shitty burnt ends pieces. Service was great! Cool guys running the spot. Would definitely come back if I lived in the area.

The ribs on the 2 meat platter I only got 3 of them and a huge link but for the price I thought it was worth it. Can't wait to come back and try the wings and the different types of sauces they got.

It included a Hawaiian roll as well. I also got a banana pudding for a sweet treat. The Bbq sauce was top tier on the ribs- absolutely delicious.

Will absolutely be back to try more of their sauces and for more of that banana pudding Love that they endorse local businesses, right when you walk in there is a table full of cards for cleaning, dispensary deals, stickers, barbers, etc etc. The young ladies working were very friendly!

As I was leaving I ran into some friends and they got a meat plate with so many different kinds, I definitely need to try that next time! Overall 4/5 Stars!
