Soooo delicious, I'd drive the 45 min here again just for the ribs. - Burnt-Ends sandwich, also 10/10 - Baked beans: 9/10. Really great, a couple kinds of meat in there made them extra delicious. The sauces were pretty underwhelming, but the meat was so good it wasn't a dealbreaker. I mixed the blue (Kansas City) with the hot and it went well. Cornbread was good, a little dry but not bad. The coleslaw was quite dry and bland. Mixing with the mustard-based bbq sauce elevated it considerably. Overall, strong meats, good sides, and perfect dining room environment for a BBQ spot. Would eat here again - and I'll be ordering the ribs.

Not picture is the must have sweet bbq sauce you can self serve (they have a spicy one too). This is a solid, good quality bbq spot, I'm surprised this was available in the area! This place is worth a stop for lunch or after a good hike. There are a few bar seats by the window (so not a full sit down restaurant) and I was to get one without issue and line moves fast, they are efficient and provide great customer service! Visited a couple of weeks ago around lunch time. August 2026. I'd return! Keep up the great work.

Honestly props to everyone that works at Scooters because we came in with a large group after a…read morerace at Georgetown Lake. They had to close briefly to catch up with the orders after us and we felt bad. When you first arrive, this is essentially a shack. There's limited seating indoors that's like window seats. Then they have a large outdoor seating area. I do wish there was some sort of shade or covering because the sun was beating down on us. It was very hot and it felt like we were burning so maybe bring an umbrella. Now onto the food. The food was quite delicious. The fries were a good crunch and taste. The jalapeño potato salad was so good. The coleslaw is very tangy. The meats were delicious. We had the chopped brisket and the ribs. They're smoked quite well and the bbq sauce pairings were very tasty. I definitely like the hot bbq sauce (wasn't spicy but had such a good flavor).

They offered their covered patio, but when I went out there, it was also full and it's not much of a covered patio. it's like a room with big windows and it smelled bad.

I can't tell for sure if the lady charged me for them or not because I wasn't given a receipt. The waiter just told me that it wasn't on the ticket that he is going by as he brings the food out and apologized.

There are only a handful of businesses in Kittredge, a humble unincorporated town outside of Evergreen and Morrison (closer to the former). And shockingly, most of the businesses are great! This is another creekside restaurant and what's not to love about that? I've never actually dined in, only gotten takeout a few times. Doesn't change the fact that they are doing something right in the kitchen! At Switchback, they have the MEATS. As all good BBQ places should. My last meal consisted of their brisket, sausage, and mac and cheese. I really enjoyed everything I had. The sausage may have been my favorite, it was extremely juicy. Brisket is the best BBQ meat and theirs (even takeout) was tender and tasty. Like many BBQ places, the hours and quantities are limited. And for being in a remote unincorporated town you can't fault them for that. Take a scenic drive out this way and score some yummy 'que!!!
