everything was delicious as always only thing is the chips for my nachos were incredibly stale

BBQ done right! Everything we had, aside from the smoked beans, was fantastic. This is definitely a spot I will be going to more often, especially when going to a red rocks concert. Like look at this spread!! The staff definitely love what they do! read more

Seasoned Swine BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Golden, Colorado

Stairmaster to Heaven (The BBQ Kind) They say distance makes the 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. read more

Maybe we got them on a bad day, but I've seriously had better bbq at a gas station in Texas (Rudy's anyone?). Meat was dry. Mac and cheese wasn't really creamy. Nice service though. read more

We stopped here due to the reviews and it didn't disappoint. We both had a sandwich with combo and had to try the cornbread of course. The entire bill was $50 which was reasonable for all of the food we got. I thought the brisket was fantastic in both the Meathead sandwich and the boss. They didn't have hot BBQ sauce but the other options were ok. The beans were your typical baked beans but the Mac & Cheese was super cheesy and really good. There was jazz playing over the speakers which was a surprise and a nice touch. I would definitely stop by again if I'm ever in this area again! read more

Our 1st time to eat at Seasoned Swine. It did not disappoint! The Hatch Chili Mac and Cheese was an instant favorite! The pulled pork sandwiches with the awesome BBQ sauces offered different flavors to quench your taste buds. read more

Seasoned Swine BBQ - Hatch Chili Mac and Cheese and the pulled pork sandwiches with BBQ sauces are highly recommended!! - Barbeque Near Me - Golden, Colorado

If you're anywhere near Golden--or even just driving I-70 through Colorado--do yourself a favor and stop at Seasoned Swine BBQ. We loved it so much on our way to Vail that we made a point to stop again on our way back to the Denver airport. That's about the highest compliment I can give a restaurant. The burnt ends were among the best we've ever had--perfectly smoky, tender, and full of flavor. The ribs were outstanding with just the right amount of bark and tenderness. Every sauce was delicious, the sides were excellent, and the local Colorado beer selection and craft cocktails were just as thoughtfully curated as the food. What really sets Seasoned Swine apart, though, is the people. The entire staff made us feel genuinely welcome, and it was clear they take pride in what they do. We had the pleasure of meeting Jacob, the owner, and his passion for authentic barbecue is evident in every detail--from the quality of the food to the atmosphere and service. You can tell this isn't just a business to him--it's a craft. In a world where so many restaurants are just "good enough," Seasoned Swine is memorable. We can't wait to come back, and we'll be recommending it to everyone we know traveling through the Denver/Golden area. read more

Came here on a Friday evening and parking was easy. A nice chill bbq spot where you go up and order and they bring it out to you. Two of my friends and I decided to the swinoceros plate and I was so excited to try it. Definitely enough food for all of us. It came with pulled pork, turkey, brisket, burnt ends, ribs, and sausage. We ordered Mac and cheese for our sides. The workers were al really nice and brought us samples of bbq sauce. The meat was really good and the plate was a fun way to try everything. I really enjoyed the burnt ends and Mac and cheese. Yum! Price was good split between 3 around $24. Left very full and happy. read more

In town for a quick business trip and wanted to try the local Q. The candied rib was great. More BBQ joints should be willing to sell single ribs because they make a great side. I didn't want to stuff myself, so I went with the smoked turkey sammy. The juicy turkey had great smoke flavor. I'm not a big mayo fan, so I enjoyed the apply cider vinegar slaw. The cornbread was a little sweet with a bit of smoky flavor. Order at the counter and the friendly staff will bring your order to your table. Seating inside and outside under covered second floor patio. Good CO BBQ! read more

Cool bbq spot in Golden! $16.99 for pulled pork sandwich with a side and drink. This is comparable pricing for bbq. The entrance is a steep staircase up to the second floor. I'm not sure if they have an elevator. The staff were very friendly and the outdoor patio looked nice. The indoor seating area is not that big but had a traditional bbq vibe. read more

Seasoned Swine is near one of my work offices so I had to check it out for lunch. I had some pork ribs and burnt ends. The pork ribs were definetely the highlight of the plate. I also tried their cherry smoked green beans and they were also top notch. I did try their greens and they were to spicy for me to eat so I gave them to a friend. Beware of those greens! If you want a great place to grab BBQ then this is worth your time to visit! read more

Stopped by this jem before a Redrocks show. It's less then 10 minutes from the venue! The food was absolutely delicious. The meat was flavorful and the BBQ sauces were sweet and tangy. The macaroni and cheese was extremely creamy. I will definitely be back. There is plenty of indoor + outdoor seating. read more

The name of this restaurant is quite ironic if you think about it. It's called the season swine, but they could've been better in the seasoning area. I ate the swineoceros. It came with three sides, a jalapeño cheddar sausage, brisket, burnt ends, pulled pork, pulled chicken, and ribs. My top pics were the sausage and burnt ends. The pulled pork and pool chicken was very tender, however it just needed more seasoning added. Very similar to the brisket, it would've been dynamic if it had some flavor or seasoning to it. They have the concept of tender down, now they just need to ace the concept of flavor and seasonings. Would I come back, absolutely. They are one of very few restaurants that actually made a decent mac & cheese. The customer service was good. The spot was clean and some of the few foods I tasted were rated highly for me. read more

We stopped mid to late afternoon before a concert at Red Rocks, so kind of an off time and it was not busy. The gal at the counter was super friendly and the food came out very fast. The menu items are marked gluten free if applicable, so I appreciated that detail. Between the two of us we had brisket, ribs, vinegar slaw, and Mac and cheese. The slaw and Mac and cheese were the highlight, the sauces were yummy, but the meat was kind of dry and brisket over smoked. Maybe our timing was just not right, but it missed the mark for BBQ for us. read more

Was craving a little bbq lunch in the area and decided to stop by! Plenty of gravel lot parking, but beware for handicap patrons, this establishment is on the second floor. Overall, I was craving wings and these smokey, candied wings were fantastic, a solid 9/10. The brisket and burnt ends were more lackluster in my opinion, unfortunately a bit too far on the drier side, but the bbq sauce went very well with it and helped moisten it right up. The rib was tender, juicy, and sweet, and if I were to come back, I would definitely get a rack of ribs. The bottom of the list today was unfortunate the mac and cheese, which had a heavy artificial cheese flavor, which some enjoy, but not me. Otherwise, I noticed the bathrooms here were very clean and tidy, you have self service rolls of papertowels and bulk bbq sauces, and while you have a little number stand for the staff to bring your food out to you, its self service to place your used tray back. Overall a solid option to itch that craving for bbq! read more

We love their burnt ends and brisket. I hate that I have to write 85 characters for a review.

This came highly recommended by someone in our group. We arrived at opening time, pretty big group. We were quickly seated by the wonderfully friendly staff. I had the burnt ends with collard greens, baked beans and corn bread. I have had a lot of BBQ. I want to go back for dinner. And lunch again! Probably the best I've had in the metro area. The collard greens were cooked perfectly and for a second, thought I was back in the south. The cherry chipotle BBQ sauce was my favorite along with the Carolina mustard sauce. Super impressed. I asked about buying the sauce and was told it is in progress, which was good to hear. Even the Texas guy in our group loved it! Everyone's food came out quickly and orders were accurate. (Sometimes a challenge when a big group shows up right at opening, but it was a walk in the park for this crew.) Outstanding job to you all, I can't wait to come back! read more

This is the best BB-que ever and Sarah was the best also the music was great thanks ckb

Oh. My. Goodness. This was delicious. Was looking for a place for late lunch after hanging in Golden on a Saturday morning and bbq sounded good. My partner and I shared a platter with brisket, burnt ends, cornbread, spicy slaw, and green chile mac and cheese. They have their own custom sauces too and it tied everything together. All the flavors were amazing and we are definitely coming back to try the sausages and everything else. My partner and I were pretty full after sharing this meal. We'll have to bring friends next time so we can try more together! Also loved the view from the restaurant and the outdoor balcony with a view. Probably a great sunset dinner spot honestly. read more

On a lovely fall day, we wanted some bbq and decided to check out this wonderful find on W. Colfax in Golden. They have a nice patio, though it was a bit windy so we enjoyed our food inside. It's very casual, but comfortable. We ordered the Meathead to share, along with four ribs (you can order individually). We chose the beans and potato salad as our sides. All of it was very very tasty. The meat in the sandwich (prime brisket and pulled pork) was fantastic. The sauces were up to the task as well -- very tasty. We actually ordered the ribs as an afterthought after talking briefly with another customer about their ribs -- and we didn't have to order a whole rack. I'm so glad we did because they were equally as good. The staff was very helpful in all our decision-making. Look forward to a revisit soon! read more

Good ambiance. Good is really good compared to other bbq I've had in Colorado. Waitstaff is really nice and helpful. I would give this place a solid 4 stars. Is it the moistest and amazing brisket I've ever had? No. But it's pretty solid and pretty good. The sausage is pretty damn good. The spicy avocado slaw was not my cup of tea at all. And I personally didn't find it spicy. There was a hint but that's subjective I guess. Would probably come back when in the area.ended up trying the vinegar slaw, also not my cup of tea. I assume due to the altitude it's difficult to make bbq here. So that being said. I probably won't recommend it and won't go way out of my way but will probably be back. Always want to support local businesses. Maybe they will change the slaw recipe and I'll be a big fan one day read more

9/6/24 My husband and I along with our large group of friends came here for lunch. We were able to order and get seated quickly. Seasoned Swine is a hidden gem for quick and delicious BBQ! We ordered the brisket nachos, burnt ends, spicy slaw, and banana pudding, and everything was fantastic. The brisket nachos were loaded with so much flavor, and the burnt ends were perfectly tender. The spicy slaw was a bit too hot for us, but it was a fun twist on the usual coleslaw. The real star of our lunch was most definitely The banana pudding--absolutely a must-try! The laid-back ambiance is perfect for relaxing, with plenty of room for larger groups. We'll definitely be back when in Colorado next time. read more

If you're looking for some of the best BBQ around, this place is a must-visit. The owner, Jacob, was an absolute pleasure to talk to--his passion for what he does really shines through. He brings his own "Iowa BBQ style" that sets this spot apart. The food was outstanding. What I really appreciated was that the BBQ wasn't over-smoked--you could actually taste the quality of the meat itself, with the smoke adding just the right touch of flavor. Every bite was tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Great food, welcoming atmosphere, and a dedicated owner--this is the kind of BBQ spot you'll want to keep coming back to. I know I'll be stopping by every time I'm in town from California! read more

A little hard to find and unusual because you climb upstairs to get to the restaurant. Cozy and inviting with indoor and outdoor spaces. The first thing you do is stop and order at the register at the top of the stairs. I was grateful I reviewed the full menu online before going. Everything we had was SO incredibly delicious! I couldn't choose a favorite. The ribs and Mac and cheese are first with brisket, burnt ends, smoked beans and pulled pork all vying for a close second. It is pricy but the quality is second to none. The ribs are fall off the bone tender and just the right amount of juicy. Everyone is so kind that it felt more like a backyard BBQ at a friend's place. This is a true gem I am VERY glad I got to experience. read more

Husband and I came here for lunch today. Our cashier/waiter (we found out later that his name is Juan) took our order at the register, and gave us my husband's beer. That was all he did. A runner brought our food and when I asked about sugar, butter, and bbq sauce, we were told our waiter would bring it to us. We sat and waited probably 5-ish minutes. When we continued to be ignored, I walked around and found us 2 bottles of bbq sauce, some utensils, and a roll of paper towels. I couldn't find any sugar for my tea, butter for our bread rolls, or any other flavor bbq sauce. At some point, our "waiter" came to check on tables. He talked to the table next to us, turned around, looked at us and walked away. He never checked in with us or asked if we needed anything. At the end of our meal, another staff member who was cleaning tables walked around. I asked him who our waiter was and he told us. I found out that they have butter, sugar and spicy bbq sauce which I had been looking for. I asked him what was the point of us tipping when we didn't get any service. He apologized and I appreciate him but I hope he gets some of the tip because Juan didn't do anything besides ring us up. The food was decent... the experience was definitely diminished by the lack of service and whatever problem Juan had. read more

After a long hike this place hit the spot. We got the platter and between 3 adults (1 dude 2 ladies) it was perfect. The ribs were definitely the star of the show and I personally loved the jalapeno sausage, and my friends liked the shredded pork and og mac. I highly recomend it food is good, parking in private and plentiful and out of the busy chaotic main downtown vibe. read more

Solid experience. Friendly staff. Food was not bad, but doesn't compare to places in Texas.

We found SS very close and handy to our hotel. Great choice, quick service and fine BBQ. Place must be good, they had run out of smoked turkey! I tried the chicken, and was real happy. We finished off with a "smoked brownie". Something else! Jake, the owner, was on site checking with all the guests. Full service bar, and lots of tv's for sports. We'd go back if we get back to Golden! read more

Absolute Gem of a place, can't wait to come back! We are from Houston where BBQ is huge and was so thankful I stumbled upon this place. They have great blues music playing and a cool overlook. I had the pulled pork sandwich and it was top notch. Thanks Jacob read more

Stopped by this spot off the highway in Golden after a day of hiking. Was not crowded and had a decent small parking lot. Ordered the Diablo sandwich and a small side of OG Mac.

Food was very delicious! We had that huge sampler platter of brisket, chicken, burnt ends, ribs, pulled pork and sausage with 2 sides and bread for the four of us.

We entered the restaurant and were greeted immediately. Sat down with menus and made our selection which was difficult. We chose a sampler platter and it was more than enough for my husband and I.

Recently had an opportunity to try Seasoned Swine in Golden. Be aware, location is not ADA friendly. We decided to try the Swinoceros because we wanted to get an idea for their bbq options. This comes with multiple meat options; brisket, burnt ends, ribs, pulled chicken, pulled pork and sausage. We enjoyed the burnt ends, pulled pork the most. Sausage was good but more a breakfast sausage flavor. The brisket was a bit dry, chicken was good, ribs fell off the bone but not as big of a a fan of candied ribs. Sweet potato rolls were enjoyable. Green chili Mac, beans delicious and vinegar coleslaw was nice. They have a really great patio to sit at and everyone there was very nice. Sauces were good, both red and gold available. Overall an enjoyable experience and we'd come back for a few of those items for sure! read more

This might classify as "BBQ" in Colorado, but if you're looking for genuine slow smoked BBQ, this isn't your place. The staff were friendly, and the pricing wasn't bad, but the "pulled pork" sandwich had the consistency of a grilled chicken breast. It was dry, and you couldn't taste much flavor. I got more smoke flavor from the bean than the meat itself. You'll need to utilize the bottle of bbq sauce on the table to keep your mouth moist when eating, but you'll get a surprisingly decent flavor from that, so kudos there. Overall, the place was clean and the people were kind, but as an out-of-towner from NC, don't expect true BBQ here. read more
