    Best BBQ in all the Denver area and overall surrounding area. Truly smoked, prepared right, and…read moredifferent sauces to enjoy dipping in as I am not one to ruin my meat by smothering it. 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!

    Like some others, I'm scratching my head wondering how this place has the high rating it does…read more The staff was really friendly, I wish the food was as good. 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.

    Have I rated this place before? Well, even if I have, it's time that I renewed my rating for Pit…read moreFiend. This place has been my go-to for bbq meal for several years now. 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.

    Today was definitely a bbq day and we came across this establishment…read more The employees were friendly and there was a great variety of meats. Unfortunately like every bbq pit you need to get there early to get burnt ends but there were other meats to choose from. The only unfortunate thing was they are part of the up and coming group of merchants that charge 2% if using a credit card on top of that city fee and tax.

    Wow! When in the Denver Arts District, I highly recommend. Located in The Source building…read more Homemade is the keyword! Homemade pickles, Cornbread, Mac n Cheese & more. The Brisket Sandwich, the Chicken Sandwich, Burnt Ends Sandwich and Portabelo Mushroom Sandwich were all delicious. You can see the smoke ring. The toasted brioche bun, the cole slaw, the great local beers...it was all great! The interior is awesome, as it shares the space with other businesses in a refurbished old iron factory. Definitely cool! Drew was super friendly with his service. I smoke my own meats, so I know quality when I taste it. They even have breakfast burritos with burnt ends. I highly recommend this place!

Plenty of seating options and they have a few TVs to watch the game. It is connected to the Source hotel but I like that, great vibes. I took out a star because the mac and cheese was lack luster, I was so excited to eat it but ended up only taking a few bites. The real winner were the fries and the brisket sandwich. Those were to die for!!! Corn bread was okay, and I feel like it would be next level with a few more bun options. I would kill for that brisket on a hard baguette. 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!
