The wife and I went here for lunch. Great, great decision. Let's talk about service, food/drink, and vibe. Service. We sat at the bar, although they have cool seats out the front door, and a nice patio also. I loved the bar area. Kook was our bartender. He immediately greeted us, and gave us stellar service throughout our visit. We got some history on the place, along with how they make their food. Sometimes, you get service from someone who might know a menu and the dishes, but it is just knowledge. And sometimes you get service from someone who has true passion for what they are serving. Kook gave us service where every explanation, every description, and every check-in filled was filled with absolute passion for BBQ food. You could tell he loves, loves, loves what he does. Food/Drink. They had a West Coast IPA, which is always a good thing, and the wife had vodka/lemonade. We decided to share the two meat plate with brisket and burnt ends, with mac and cheese and cucumber salad as our sides. The brisket was solid, as was the cucumber salad and mac and cheese, but the burnt ends were ridiculously good. Like, where does it go on my all-time list good. Worth the trip alone. They had sauces on the bar, but the real magic was on a shelf in the back. Our favorites were the green chili and Alabama white. Vibe. I personally LOVED this place. We were there during a slow time, but you got the feeling that it would be a really fun place when packed. Widespread Panic stuff (owners are fans) on all of the walls...another winner for me. OU banner, which my wife loved (owner went to OU). Cool bar area, other parts to sit in, chill music in the background. Loved the energy of the place. I was told also that their French Dip sandwich is another ringer. I plan on coming back to get that next. I highly recommend this place...especially the burnt ends...and see you there.

The moment I walked in I was greeted with a big smile! This place feels so warm and welcoming ! We popped in to get some food to go and I was so captivated by the heart and stories and art in this place. They also hold lots of local and fun events like music bingo. The food when we got home was still hot and absolutely delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly and there were so many sauces to choose from. There was this jalapeño one that was sweet and spicy and my absolute fave! They have a brisket Swiss dip sandwich (I forget the exact name) but omg yes the roll was fluffy and tasty and the meat perfect and just so much flavor ! We got also some brisket and sausage mashed potatoes and gravy potato salad (I'm a potato gal) and those burnt ends we got OMG... so much flavor and crunch but also juicy how do they do it? I will be doing a reel this week on them for more info if you are curious. And this was not a promo or food given to us or anything like that. Just had such a great experience here for the first time and will be in again soon!

Awesome all around. Generally well priced for what you get and meat seems of quality, Some of the sides are only okay, but all the meats have been Lack of parking is a bummer but the area is easy enough to find something nearby. Happy they multiple locations! Plus free WiFi

I did manage to drop back in and try the ribs. They were outstanding, meaty, delicious, and we made three meals out of them.

Came for dinner, my partner had the 3 meat plate and I had the dry rub chicken wings with blue cheese. My wings were a bit too salty for me but the blue cheese helped, overall just ok. I didn't get to try my partner's plate but he reported that he enjoyed his selection of meats, overall good. I'm giving a higher score of 4 because a lot of over eateries I've tried during my visit (first time here) in Denver had been too salty for me so it may just be a me issue. Also, service was great, everyone was very friendly and welcoming - very cozy spot!

Food is delicious, flavorful, not drenched in sauce (hate that). I did get the greens and Mac/cheese sides- awesome!!!!! Reminded me of the Midwest bbq joints. FYI- Mac/cheese has lots of black pepper I tried the beef brisket, burnt ends, and fried pork rib tips- recommend all of them! Tom was my server and so fricking fabulous!!!! Thank you!

More like, Holy Smokes BBQ this place is phenomenal. All the Yelp reviews told me to order this place for takeout to a store I was going to. Placed my online order, was ready when I arrived. Indoor & outdoor seating, staff was friendly, everything was clean, and holy moly this place is delicious. I have a high standard for BBQ because my brother is in the food industry as well. This is the best BBQ I've had in CO!

Checked out this place for the first time and loved it! We just had a hankering for some BBQ and decided to give this place a try. It's located near Wadsworth and 38th. I ordered online and drove to pick up my order. One thing I liked was there was a parking lot that I just pulled in and went to the front door. I hear this place can get busy but I had no problem finding a spot and getting in to pick up my order on a Sunday afternoon. I must have been a minute early but they told me I could get my sauces towards the back of the area. While I was picking out my sauces they brought my order all packed and loaded into a large hand carry paper bag. This first time we both tried the rib plate. When you add a side dish it comes to around $15. My side dish was fries and hers was a cucumber salad. Other available sides include baked beans and even collard greens! The ribs themselves were meaty and quite good even before adding a sauce. The initial taste was delightful and tantalizing! As an additional surprise we received an extra rib so it was four instead of three. Yum it's just great. There is seating inside and they have a nice outside covered patio. I can see why this place is popular. It clicks all the boxes and it's a true BBQ place. Nothing fancy here but it's spot on for real BBQ. If you're in the area stop in and give them a try. Then enjoy your meal just like we did. I was in and out so fast that I did not take enough photos but I'll post what I did take for your review.

5 for the burnt ends and their BBQ sauces both sweet and spicy! Perfection 5 for the smoked Mac n cheese. The shells are the thick kind so it's not a traditional Mac n cheese pasta fyi. The cheese sauce is delish. 4 for the baked beans as they were a tad too soft and needed more bbq sauce, or molasses or something. 4 for the greens. They taste healthy, you can't taste the smoked meat, but there wasn't any savory type flavor. Service was fast! Parking is easy. Tons of seating, restrooms, gorgeous area to sit near the river and with views of the mountain and Coors! Such a cute town and all their food is delish!!! read more

From corporate layoffs to slow-smoked success--meet Terry Walsh, the founder of @rollingsmokebbq! Starting as a humble food truck in Denver back in 2014, Rolling Smoke BBQ has grown into a beloved local favorite with multiple locations across the Denver metro area, including Centennial, Golden, and Wheat Ridge, plus a spot at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre. If you love Southern-style barbecue, you've got to try their mouthwatering Pork Spare Ribs with a side of fries--perfectly seasoned with a dry rub that'll keep you coming back for more. They have a covered patio attached to the building on the side and exposed one infront. Remember, this is the Colorado-based Rolling Smoke BBQ, not to be confused with similarly named spots in Vegas or Austin. Support local, savor the flavor, and celebrate the journey from laid-off to legendary! read more

Fantastic! We grabbed our dinner to go after ordering from the patio bar window. The bartender was super friendly and helpful. I ordered the Mac n cheese bowl with pulled pork on top and a side of jalapeno corn bread. My husband ordered the 2 meats and 2 sides meal. He ordered brisket, burnt ends, smoked Mac n cheese and potato salad. I wasn't able to finish my meal because I also stole some of my husbands potato salad Everything was so good. The smoked Mac and cheese was the best I've had. Not too smoky or cheesy or dry. The potato salad tastes just like Mom made. I couldn't ask for anything more 10/10 can't wait to go again. read more

Excellent BBQ! The ribs were great and fell off the bone. The sandwich was huge and had 3 meats, beans and Cole slaw. The fries, Mac n cheese and wings were very heavily seasoned. I liked this, but I could see how it could be too much for some people. The staff were friendly and the establishment was clean. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We arrived just before 5pm on Saturday and it was pretty empty, but by the time we ordered and sat down, the place was full. We will definitely return, it was top notch bbq! read more

Major changes for the worse in August 2024 so check the dates as you read reviews. Unfortunately, with these changes other than the local Wheat Ridge vibe it's not much different than any other bbq chain. Used to be good bbq at an average price now average bbq at a premium price. The cost for a standard bbq meal of 2 meats and 2 sides has almost doubled and comes with less since they changed to à la carte. They also got rid of number sauces (now only 2) and there are no more fixins. It's pretty obvious that Rolling Smoke is adding locations, cutting corners and maximizing profit. No shame in that, it is a business after all. just know that is what kind of place it is. The local Wheat Ridge vibe is still there thanks to the location. Still a great place to "meat up" with friends however unless the atmosphere is worth the premium price you might as well hit up a larger bbq chain. The food will be just as good and you'll probably get more. read more

The place is a great location and nice rustic interior - seating comfortable to get my grub on- ribs were spot on - meaty - smoked to perfection - moist - and fall off the bone! Sampled all the smoke sausage - again home run ! Another favorite was the Redneck Cuban which has the most amazing smoked bologna I've ever had. I must add that the burnt ends topped everything and showcased to true pit master excellence as so many places claim the have good burnt ends - this is the very highest watermark in my years and years of eating bbq from coast to coast. Rolling Smoke is in my top ten bbq spots now - I will be back soon and often thereafter. read more

There are now two great options for BBQ on the northside. We had the burnt ends, pork belly, brisket, and ribs with coleslaw, collards, beans, and fries for sides. Everything was KCBS competition grade (except maybe the beans which were texturally and flavor wise just a step up from canned). Definitely worth checking out! read more

I asked for a Moscow mule, they took payment , then opened a can of Punching mule and told me "sorry, they can't make a Moscow mule." Why would you charge me for something you can't make, and give me something I didn't ask for. read more

Brothers has never disappointed me this much. In short, sad. Bread had more moisture than the brisket.

Smokin' Dave's BBQ

Posted to Google already deserves to be shared here as well since I'm at it today…read more.. Smokin Dave's absolutely delivered last weekend. We ordered the Not So Teeny Wahine platter to share and added an okra appetizer, and everything that hit the table was legit. The meats were exactly what you want from a good barbecue joint: smoky, tender, and packed with flavor without drowning in sauce. You could tell the pit did the talking. The okra was a great starter too, crispy without being greasy and a perfect way to kick things off. Sides can make or break a BBQ place and Smokin Dave's nailed them. The mac and cheese was creamy and rich, the mashed potatoes were comforting and buttery, the collard greens had that slow-cooked depth you hope for, and the red beans and rice brought a little Southern soul to the table. Overall, just a really solid barbecue experience. Great flavors, generous portions, and the kind of meal that makes you want to come back and try the rest of the menu.

Love the welcoming, casual, and authentic BBQ atmosphere along with everything else this place offers! I don't know if you can go wrong with how you order but my favorite is to get Dave's Smokin Platter which can come with one meat ($18), two meats ($22), or three meats ($26)! Any of these come with choice of two sides and cornbread. My go-to's are the brisket and pulled pork for the meats and fried okra, red beans and rice, or baked beans for the sides! If you are a first timer and want to try several meats- the Pitmaster sandwich ($16.25) is a great option as it comes with brisket, pulled pork, and jalapeño cheddar sausage!

Seasoned Swine BBQ

Close to Lookout Mountain, this is a great stop! Five stars across the board!…read more Food: was fantastic - between the 4 of us, we tried the brisket sandwich (tender and delicious with the pickles and picked red onions), pork ribs (meaty, flavorful and tender, my son's favorite), pulled pork on nachos (tasty and fresh). Had to have a Coors Light while in Golden, CO! Sides of Mac and cheese, baked beans, vinegar Cole slaw and potato salad were all freshly made, clean tasting, and added quality to each meal! Service: attentive and hospitable. You order at the counter and they bring out the trays from the kitchen. Every member was knowledgeable in explaining the multiple sauces and went out of the way to attend to every question or request. Love the casual vibes, from picking up your own utensils to cleaning up your own trays. Excellent service. And they were appreciative of our patronage. Ambiance: clean restaurant all around, cool casual vibes with a great outdoor patio side facing the sun and mountains. Well worth the stop, best bbq in Golden CO, indeed! 5

Stairmaster to Heaven (The BBQ Kind) They say distance makes…read morethe heart grow fonder, but in this case, a 30-minute drive and a second-story climb mostly just made us hungry. We were strongly motivated by a lunch date with our daughter and her husband, and apparently, the 'Seasoned Swine' experience starts with a mandatory pre-meal cardio session. If you aren't ready to hit the stairs, you aren't ready for the Swine. The Atmosphere (2 Stars): It's a bit like a sports bar that forgot to buy the TVs. Plenty of high-top tables to perched upon, and a bathroom door that refuses to close--perfect for those who enjoy a 'communal' dining experience in every sense of the word. The Service (3 Stars): Standard 'pay-to-play' setup. You order at the register, pay upfront, and hope for the best. Functional, but don't expect a candlelit serenade. The Food (5 Stars): This is where the magic happens. Three of us tackled the 'Swinoceros' plate--a meat-sweat-inducing mountain of the menu's highlights--while our fourth went for the pulled pork 'sammie.' The Candied Ribs: Out of this world. I'm pretty sure these are illegal in several states. Absolute perfection. The Burnt Ends: Moist, flavorful, and worth the drive alone. The Supporting Cast: The pulled pork, sliced turkey, brisket, and jalapeño cheddar sausage were all good. Even the sides--the OC Mac and Cheese and baked beans--were terrific. The Rolls: The three sweet rolls were... well, they were rolls. They were there. The Verdict: If you can survive the stairs, the awkward bathroom situation, and the DIY service, the food is a total knockout. I came for the family, but I'd stay for those candied ribs.

We shared the skinny pig sampler (1/4 lb. of 3 meats + 1 side); we got brisket, pulled pork, and sausage and citrus kale salad. The pulled pork had just the right amount of fat to prevent it from being dry, and the sausage was great! The brisket was a little bit dry; I would prefer it a little fattier. I really enjoyed the sweet pineapple sauce, and the peach habanero sauce had good heat but the peach flavor was overpowered. We also got a full slab of ribs à la carte, which were great! You could easily eat all of the meat off the bone. It is a dry and wet rub that includes some brown sugar. Altogether, this was $56. The food was ready quickly! Highly recommend.

I had it saved but couldn't quite remember why...until we turned the corner and saw a line out the door around noon on a Sunday. Normally that might be a dealbreaker, but once we saw the food coming out, we were all in, it looked way too good to pass up. The menu is stacked: everything from sweet pastries to savory sandwiches and even pizzas on what looked like fresh, fluffy focaccia. I went with the prosciutto sandwich (prosciutto, cheese, pesto on focaccia), and it was incredible--simple, fresh, and packed with flavor. My girlfriend had the ham sandwich on a baguette, which was just as good. We were also tempted by the turkey and some seasonal options, so we'll definitely be back to try more. We couldn't leave without grabbing a couple pastries. The almond croissant was a hit (my girlfriend saved it for the next morning and loved it), and the standout for me was the cinnamon white chocolate cookie--kind of like a snickerdoodle but with white chocolate chips. Easily a top tier cookie. Between the quality, variety, and how clearly everything is made with care, this place jumped straight to the top of my list. Worth the wait, worth the hype, and absolutely worth a return trip.

I sure was one of them today as when I stepped in it was past 2pm. What I had in mind was (of course) all gone which forced me to go some alternative option. I hence ended up with one of the vanilla custard buns and the gouda baguettes. Did I regret? Nope, it is quite the opposite of it. The vanilla custard bun was simply the right size for me (I not too long ago had just had my late breakfast so I was still quite full from it.) Perfectly brown on some of the custard on top. This Portuguese style dessert is a staple at any bakery or dessert shop. It's moist and yet the flaky out layers made the perfect sound as I bit into it. As of this writing, I haven't had the baguette yet but I can only imagine how delicious it would be (as the kind lady upfront was telling other customer that.) For a great business like GetRight's, I do the drive to get to it from my southeast Denver home. It's my utmost duty to support them.
