    Need to refuel after a long hike in beautiful Lyons? This is definitely the place to go! Such a cool atmosphere and excellent service. I believe our waitress name was May and she was an absolute delight! Oh yeah and the food.. SOOO GOOD! We got an array of what they had on the menu and every plate was delicious! Definitely would recommend coming here!

    Wow. What a great and unexpected find on a recent motorcycle ride in the Rockies. As a Texan, it's always risky going to BBQ places but this one had a quiet confidence about it that I liked. And it was worth the risk. Amazing 3 meat sandwich that I wish I could get at home. I would make this a destination stop if I lived in the area.

    Smokin' Dave's BBQ was fantastic! What I loved most was the variety of food, not just your basic BBQ fare but a wide range of all sorts. Our service was exceptional, a perfect meal to a lovely quiet afternoon with family. I know they have more than one location but I would not be opposed to driving the hour+ trip to go to the Lyons location!

    2 meat platter with pork ribs and pulled pork, sweet potato fries and potato salad

    3.5-4 stars - this place does the trick if you're looking for fast, casual bbq with hefty portions for a good price. The interior is casual and the smoky smells wafting from the kitchen instantly draw you in. We ordered the onion rings to start that were HUGE and they also came out in record time after we ordered which was a little alarming. Are they not made fresh? Anyway, they had a nice crunch but the breading was pretty heavy and the onions slid right out. The bbq ranch it came with was pretty good. My husband got the heart attack and he enjoyed the pulled pork and the gravy although the biscuits were quite dense. He really liked the meal, but the fries didn't taste very fresh, not crispy and a little mushy so we didn't eat much of that. The corn bread is ok. It crumbles when you put butter on it but the flavor is decent. I ordered the 2 meat platter with pork ribs and pulled pork. I love ribs and any chance I can get to order them I will. I was first taken with how big a portion it was. The meat was good, but definitely not the fall off the bone smoky meat I was hoping for. They reminded me of ribs from your classic bbq chain restaurant. Again, not bad and will do the trick but I've certainly had better. Same with the pulled pork. It was a bit dried out with not a ton of flavor so I had to dress it quite a bit in sauce. The sauces were all alright. I preferred the spicy bbq. The potato salad was really good. It was the perfect temp and very flavorful. The sweet potato fries were good too. Overall, we enjoyed our quick & casual dinner and would return.

    Pleasant staff. Reasonably priced. Food was excellent. $8 for a 22 ounce local IPA (coffee stout) and $3 for a 22 ounce PBR. Couldn't finish the burgers and sweet potato fries (plate was overflowing). Loved the onion ring appetizer too. Live music was just setting up as we left. Great rustic vibe and clean bathrooms sans graffiti even!! Will definitely go back

    Delicious chicken and brisket. The collards and slaw were wonderful too. Our server, Sonia, was extremely helpful. She made sure we were thoroughly take care of.

    Ok food, but they are in serious need of some fly-strips. Disgusting. The service was not spectacular, took a long time to get our checks.

    If you're in downtown Frederick, this place is a must-visit! It's right in the heart of the main…read moredowntown area, and before we even walked through the door, we could smell the incredible smoky aroma of the meats from outside. That alone had us excited. We were greeted immediately, seated right away, and had plenty of time to look over the menu. There was a huge variety of options, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable. We started with the pickle fries, which were a great appetizer. I was also thrilled to see they offered a non-alcoholic drink menu. I ordered the Peach Mule, and my husband had the cream soda, both were excellent. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Our food came out quickly, and the portion sizes were enormous! I ordered the Turkey Ranch Bacon Mac & Cheese, and it was absolutely delicious. I could barely finish a third of it, so I had plenty left over for dinner later. My husband ordered the brisket plate, and he loved every bite. Everything about our visit met, and honestly exceeded, our expectations. From the food and service to the atmosphere, it was an outstanding experience. We left completely stuffed, very happy, and we'll definitely be back! Our only regret is that we forgot to order banana pudding to go.

    After reading all the positive reviews I was excited to try this place. Haven't been able to find…read moregood bbq here like we had in Texas. Went for lunch today with my son. Ordered onion rings for an appetizer. Reading the menu I couldn't find brisket anywhere. Not on the nachos, one two or three meat plates, or sandwiches. All I ever get is brisket and sausage. Finally found the brisket. It's in small print under each item for an upcharge of anywhere between $5 and $10. For example the sandwich is $19. They are happy to sell you the cheaper meats at a premium but if you want brisket you have to pay even more. If we wouldn't have already ordered onion rings we would have left. Son ordered a burger and I ordered fries. Ate almost all onion rings and one was raw and still had powder on the inside. Fries were good, son's burger was good, but we can get burgers anywhere. I did bring the onion ring issue to the waitresses attention just so she could let the kitchen know. When she brought the bill, they had taken the onion rings off. I did not ask them to do that, but they did it anyway.
