I've been here twice since they opened and I'm very impressed thus far. They are fast and the burnt ends are really prepared well. They're a little pricey, but no more than any other bbq joint. But you get much better bbq for your money here than at big chain bbq places. They're the real deal, with a giant smoker out front and almost a half inch of smoke ring on their burnt ends. Both times they served up generous portions of meat and plenty of sides. The guy at the front counter was friendly and I can tell they appreciate our business. The beans and mac + cheese are both good and they recently added fries that are a bit one-dimensional. I hope they get better fries, but that's a pretty small thing when compared to the quality of their bbq. In general, I'd definitely recommend them and hope they're successful in that location. read more

Excellent BBQ option. Couldn't believe the turkey was so good.

Got the "Whole Smoker" a healthy sampling of everything from the pits that are right outside and always going. Awesome. Plenty of leftovers for later. Pricing for that amount of food was great for BBQ. A+ burnt ends, fall off the bone ribs, turkey and sausage were spot on. Brisket was wonderful, I'm from Texas and this reminded me of home. I will be back. read more

Awesome food, great atmosphere, and friendly staff. The meat here is the real deal as far as BBQ is concerned. You can smell the wood chips smoking the meat from the parking lot! read more

Family get together so what else to eat - BBQ. The manager/owner went out of his way to accommodate us. The smoked mac and cheese was a definite hit. The ribs and pulled pork were perfect. If you like spicy BBQ sauce the regular sauce will do. The wings were not as tender or to the same standard but I did put the order in last minute. I was happy that there were some leftovers so I could enjoy for several days. I liked to try the collard greens and green chile next time. read more

This is the best BBQ I've had in Colorado. The brisket was very moist with a nice smoke ring. They smoke the food in giant smokers in the parking lot so great to see they aren't taking shortcuts with electric smokers. Sides were good and typical of what you'll find at most BBQ restaurants, but the meat is the star of the restaurant as it should be with good BBQ. read more

Finally! Really good bbq in town. This is the real stuff. Burnt ends are my favorite; also love the pulled pork. But the chili... it's a meal in and of itself and unbelievably tasty. It's pretty spicy (jalapenos?), so be careful if you don't like it hot. It is seriously worth a stop just for that. Mac and cheese must have drippings from the smoker, because it is really, really delicious (and at the bottom of the bowl you see why). Beans are good if you add some of the spicy sauce on the table. Service always friendly, and locally owned, starting from a food truck. These guys really know their 'q! read more

These guys do it right. I come here at least once a week. Don't waste your time getting BBQ anywhere else.

Amazing BBQ and even better people! Everything is delicious but you have to have the burnt ends and smoked mac n cheese! Couldn't be happier to have this joint in my neighborhood!!! read more

This is a hidden gem in Centennial for BBQ. Walking up to the restaurant, you are greeted by that distinct mesquite aroma from the large outdoor smokers. The dry rubbed ribs were exceptional and the sides were flavorful. Everything tasted freshly prepared. My biggest criticisms are that there are limited choices of sides and kid's meals and no salads or vegetables. The meals are also overpriced for a restaurant that is not full service. Expect to pay $12-21 per adult entree with fountain drink. read more

Kansas City born and raised. Been in Denver for 15+ years and Rolling Smoke is hands down the best BBQ I have had in the Metro area. They not only know what Burnt Ends are, they are the everyday menu. read more

Went in with the idea of ordering there platter and having a drink. Was greeted very rudely by the host. The manager had a cigarette behind his ear, totally got stared down when we sat at the end of bar by the hostess. We were ignored for quite a while and at 7;45 they had only one couple for customers. Did not try their food as we were sure we would get a spitter! We walked out and again got stared down by the manger and the hostess. Turned out the one couple in the place were friends. Totally understand why it was empty! read more

Great food. Inconsistent service. Literally sitting at bar and staff takes call in orders versus waitIng on people sitting in front of him. We walked out after 15 minutes. read more

We've been here 3 times and it's been consistently good. The place is clean and the staff is friendly. It smells WONDERFUL! The meats we have tried have all been moist and had a great flavor! read more

Great BBQ place run by awesome people. Brisket is great and so is the 3 Pig sandwich. In fact, I don't think I have had a bad meal yet.

I just moved to the area and this is the first place I went to. It was fantastic. The mac and cheese was really tasty, and the meats were all great as well. I'm be coming back. read more

This seemed like a perfect opportunity to support a local business. The food appeared very good. We placed an order after waiting for the frazzled staff to work through a problem on another order. This should have been a hint to us. But we wanted to give them a chance. After placing our order we had to bus a table ourselves to have a place to sit. We waited patiently for over 30 minutes watching everyone that came in after us be served. We tried on a couple of occasions to flag an employee to find out our status. On the 3rd time we got attention to find out our order ticket had not been printed. Then to top it off they were out of ribs and had been before we even placed our order. I am sad because I wanted to support them but they definitely lack organization and customer service. read more

Tried this for the first time last night. Called in order for carry out. First call I got put on hold and forgotten, I really wanted to try this place since I like good BBQ, so I called back. This time they took my order. I didnt really like it, the ribs weren't tasty unless you put extra sauce on and the mac n cheese and coleslaw have lots of room for improvement. I will probably stick with Rib City, always delicious. read more

We visited this restaurant twice. I can't believe anybody gives it more than one star. The food was tough. The service was terrible and they charge you extra to pay your bill by credit card. When I asked them about it they said you don't want us to pay for do you? I said well yes. The tables were dirty the bathroom was dirty. The food is definitely not worth going back for. There is no signage to let the public know they are there. I hardly wait for them to go out of business so another can take their place. read more

I'm a BBQ snob and wanted to try out the new place. We went at 11, right when they opened. I had the bourbon sausage. Extremely disappointed. It was so dry it could have passed as jerkey. My son had the brisket which was good, but his beans were cold. Found it expensive as well. Restaurant was clean though. read more

Fantastic. Haven't had BBQ this good since I moved back from KC. Burnt ends had perfect bark on the outside, soft and juicy on the inside. Friendly and welcoming staff. Can't wait to be back. read more

We get takeout from here at least once a month and ALWAYS order for our out-of-town guests. Everyone is always blown away. The Whole Smoker is a great deal and plenty of food for 4 people. The burnt ends are perfection and I love the vinegary, smoky collard greens. Their smoked wings are addicting. I'm not huge on wings and I'm obsessed. I've never had anything less than excellent customer service. I even called the day before Super Bowl Sunday and was able to order a couple dozen wings, with incredibly friendly service. Good quality bbq should be pricey and I feel their prices are completely fair. read more

I'll start off by saying I'm not a picky eater nor a BBQ snob, but I thought this food was terrible. Wife and I went on a Saturday afternoon for lunch and we ordered the pulled pork sandwich and beef brisket platter. Pulled pork was super dry to the point it was like eating pulled jerky, no amount of BBQ sauce was saving it. The side of mac and cheese was semi-warm and greasy, I am talking more grease than pepperoni pizza. Now beef brisket platter, half the brisket was tender and the other half was dry as well. Coleslaw was bland and just not good. Only decent part of the meal was the baked beans, those were good. But put all that with a high price tag and you have a place I will tell people to avoid. read more

We recently put in a large catering order for an employee meeting. The food was phenomenal. That taste of the brisket is definitely one of the top flavored briskets I have ever had. The customer service was absolutely wonderful. They ensure the order was correct before placing the order. When I did a confirmation of the order they were polite and were able to confirm it for me quickly. I appreciate the wonderful customer service and food. read more

First time we've ordered from here. We sampled the burnt ends, pulled pork and hot links. I have to say the burnt ends are the best I've ever had.....and I have a robust sampling history having grown up in KC. Also very tasty is the Mac&Cheese and the beans. I'll definitely be a regular read more

Just got a 3 meat plate as take out and it was fantastic. Turkey, pulled pork and ribs. All tender, smoky and hot. I'll be back for sure.

First impressions are encouraging in this cursed location on university. BBQ was moist, flavorful and not too sweet. The turkey was property peppered as well the brisket was not overly fatty or under lean. The smoked Mac & cheese is very well constructed. They send out a side dish well thought out- not too wet and overcooked but it seems as if a sharp cheddar sauce was covering evenly cooked shell pasta and superbly nuanced with a restrain of smoked seasoning. Certainly a splurge for the carbohydrate conscious. Just the collard greens were a bit flat and one dimensional. I'll be back. read more

My first experience with Rolling Smoke was over a year ago when I opted to try their brisket off the food truck. It was everything I expected: well defined smoke ring, succulent, and a perfect blend of smoke and seasoning. At the time the truck was it- fast forward to last week: they provided the food for my Daughter's reception: wings, brisket, and ribs plus sides of coleslaw, beans, and smoked mac and cheese. Nothing disappointed. The Mac and cheese was the star of the side show but the beans and slaw where a step up in flavor provide: the slaw had a slight kick and the beans were a nice balance of smoke and sweet. The baby back ribs were perfect to me, smokey and fall off the bone tender but retaining a significant bite. Our order was delivered on time with plenty of eating and serving utensil, plates, napkins, BBQ sauces and even a cup of pickles. In hindsight I won't change a thing, except to increase the amount of Mac and cheese. Cheers! read more

Good. I had the 2 meat plate. Burnt ends and hot links. Will start with the burnt ends. Good. Not a true burnt end. But ok smoke flavor. Hot link. Ok that's where the star was lost. Just a store bought link nothing special. read more

Pretty average but decent BBQ joint. The prices are definitely too high for the portions, quality, and flavor - that being said, my boyfriend and I enjoyed our meals. I ordered the brisket with collard greens and mac n cheese, my boyfriend got the hot links with seasoned fries and mac. I loved the mac n cheese in particular, very cheesy and well seasoned! Everything else was fine but not the best I've ever had by a long shot. Sated our craving for BBQ though, which is tough to come by in CO for a couple of native southerners! The service was also great, very friendly and quick. read more

Food is nothing short of amazing! I had the beef brisket with a side of cole slaw and a side of Mac and cheese. The brisket was tender, flavorful, and smoked to perfection. The Cole slaw had the perfect balance of tangy and crunchy. My friend had the pulled pork sandwich and baked beans-both amazing!! New favorite bbq joint in town. A place to bring visitors. Can't wait to let friends know about the gem. read more

Holy shit! I've finally found great BBQ in Colorado! No electric smokers here! Their wood smokers are in the parking lot next to the restaurant! The brisket had perfect smoke rings and the collard greens and smoked Mac and cheese were the best I've had in quite a while! And don't forget to order lemonade, it's just amazing! I love this place! read more

This place is pretty damn good. The giant smokers outside are a great sign and the honey bourbon sausage is pretty amazing!

If you're looking for great barbecue, I highly suggest you give this place a try. The brisket was excellent, the burnt ends were good though a little bit dry, and the french fries and coleslaw were out of this world. The collard greens were also pretty good although they had a little bit too much pepper. But seriously, the best brisket I've ever had at a restaurant, and I would give the place five stars just for the brisket, except sometimes barbecue places aren't consistent. If I come back and the brisket is just as good, I'll gladly give this place the fifth star it deserves. read more

Two times for takeout, it is fantastic, authentic Smokey bbq. The sides are fresh and good quality, we loved the mac and cheese and the potato salad reminds me of my families receive so delicious. Friendly and attentive, so happy some good food finally landed in that spot. Go support them, you won't be disappointed. read more

I love this place, finally some great bbq in this area. Not only that, but great customer service. I did an on online order tonight and they forgot to package one item. Called them back and they gave me three different options to correct the error. Since we live close by i decided to just go back and pick up the missing item. They were so apologetic about it, and gave me a coupon for $5 towards my next visit. Great food and great customer service, what more do you need. If you haven't tried them yet, get over there. read more

Fantastic bbq! Happy to finally have a decent bbq joint in Littleton. The smoked mac and cheese is amazing!

This place is on point absolutely delicious!! The prices are a little steep BUT worth it in my opinion. It's just like anything you get what you pay for. This is BY FAR the best BBQ I've had in Colorado. Do yourself a favor and swing by, come hungry and get plenty. read more

Pulled Pork -- Had their pulled pork sandwich today. I didn't know that pulled pork could be so "melt in your mouth" good. It was so good - didn't have to pull & chew each piece. The meat was so soft that it was so easy to eat. The sauces are killer. We will be back really soon. Can't wait to try their ribs! read more

I want to start this review by saying the food at Rolling Smoke is absolutely amazing!! It's some of the best bbq I have found in Colorado. The ribs are tender and flavorful and the smoked mac n cheese is to die for! Why would I give them one star then? For the experience we had last night. I placed a large to go order over $225 including tip for us a couple of other families with babies in the NICU with ours. I had brought in leftovers from a dinner I had from there a week before and they all wanted to taste this amazing bbq that they smelled. I thought hey, support a local business and give them free advertising by bringing the food to people who may become future customers. Local businesses need to be supported by our community. When I got there, the place was packed. When I finally got to the order counter, he didn't know the order off hand, which I understand. I explained it was a large order placed online and he tried to get me to pay again. I told him I paid through their online ordering. Then I found out the order isn't ready. I had put in the order at 4 for a pickup at 6:30. I could understand having to wait a little for such a large order, so that didn't bother me too much. What really got to me was the treatment I received after my order came out and I discovered that a pound of brisket and pound of pulled pork were missing. This is like $36 roughly worth of food missing! I told him I was sure it was supposed to be 2lbs of brisket and 2lbs of pulled pork and he literally said "well, that's what we got!" And while I was still talking to him he walked off!!! He walked off to start pouring drinks for assumingely more important customers at the end of the bar. I had to flag him down several minutes later to show him the receipt for my Internet order on my phone and he was just like "oh sorry about that". Like it was nothing or happens all the time. Then he basically sounded like we needed to get the rest of our order off of the counter because he had orders to place and we were in his way. Um, yeah, you shouldn't be taking orders til you can complete the ones you have. That's the first rule of running a successful business. So I struggled with my son to carry out the other food and then come back and wait for the rest of our order that they didn't have ready. The place was packed and there were no seats in the place yet he was still asking people coming in if they wanted it for there. I can't help but notice they have no clue how to run the customer service end of their own establishment and sadly this will probably be their undoing in the end. They are chasing customers away. It will definitely be the last time we order from them. The food is fabulous, but not being treated like garbage fabulous. There are too many other restaurants in town to spend large chunks of money at without being treated like it doesn't matter that your order wasn't right. read more
