We traveled from California to check out Colorado and stumbled upon this gem. Hands down, this was…read moresome of the best BBQ I've ever had. We ordered the four-meat plate with mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, and I think either the okra or the Brussels sprouts... honestly, I can't even remember because everything was so good. My absolute favorite was the brisket. It was incredibly tender and packed with flavor. The service was fantastic, the restaurant was clean, and although the line was a little long, it moved quickly and was well worth the wait. I don't know if we'll ever make it back to Colorado, but if we do, this place will absolutely be on our itinerary. Highly recommend!

I just love BBQ and a good slice of brisket. This place is by far one of the best bbq joints in…read moreColorado and one that I keep coming back to. I've recently went here with my others and got the family meal. It's really a great deal. The meat selection was 2 brisket, pulled pork, and turkey. Sides were the mac and cheese + the mash potato. Everything was delicious, the brisket was tender with the edge done as how brisket should be. The only caveat is to skip the turkey. Will continue to go :)

Can't find a better tasting combo in all of Colorado, let alone Denver. And sauces? Ya wanna talk sauces . . .? Best selection of different types ranging from sweet, to mild, to hot and super hot, as well as a mustard based North Carolina version which always brings me back to my school days at Bullocks BBQ in Durham, NC where I went to school. 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!

Good service and good tasting food. Stopped in before a Rockies game, and everything was seamless.read more

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.

I really loved the ribs and the pulled lamb at Pit Fiend! I will definitely be getting more of…read morethose in the future. I also really liked that you could order in super small sizes such as 1 or 2 ribs and smaller than 1/4 lbs. of meat, really any size you'd like (I'm not sure how low it goes) this is awesome. GET THE COWBOY CANDY FOR $1!* *That is if you like sweet heat. It's a generous amount of jalapenos that are candied. One cup is enough for multiple people, IMO. You can bring your BBQ right over the Out Mutual Friend and they have a nice patio area right outside of Pit Fiend. Grab you a beer and chow down! For me, the sides were not a hit. The coleslaw tasted like it had sesame oil, or something, which wasn't necessarily a "bad" taste, but it's not the crisp, refreshing coleslaw I like to have to cut the already oily meats. It's too much, too heavy, and I could not come close to finishing it with the rest of my meal. I feel like the should change their oil-based recipe to something without oil. The elote I did not like, either. I tried the pit beans and those were fine. The cucumbers I feel are ridiculously priced at $5 for a 4oz cup, when an entire cucumber is $0.89. I understand it's a business, but to mark up a few pieces of cucumbers that high is wild to me. The sauces were, ok. The few I tried really didn't taste different from each other. I'm used to very clearly distinctly different BBQ sauces, especially when they go through that effort to explain them all on the sign/sheet of paper that is too hard on the eyes and long to read. A more aesthetically pleasing presentation of the explanations would be nicer to look at. The burnt ends sell out FAST! We were there pretty early, though it was on a Saturday afternoon around 2-3pm-ish, I believe, and they were already out! And the pit is right out front!

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 server was quick to take my order and friendly. Definitely glad I got it to go because it was a bit loud due to a large group being there. Food took a little bit of time to make but definitely well worth the wait. The beans were very sweet and yummy. Mac and cheese slaps your taste buds with so much flavor. 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. There is parking garage but parking on the street wasn't a problem in the evening.

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. The rib meat was tough... but overall had great flavor. The Mac & cheese was dry, but green beans were pretty good! Banana pudding was a custard base and was thick and creamy and so worth it. 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!

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!

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.
