Atmosphere was chill. Server was on top of things. My house margarita was gooood. My wrap & sweet potato fries were decent. Hubby said his "Heart Attack" wasn't as good as he'd expected & barely touched it, which is odd for him. He said the gravy wasn't to his liking; however, he did say the cornbread was really good. It's decent priced, average food. Nothing exceptional. The bathroom was super clean. read more

Came in for lunch on a sleepy Wednesday. The place is a little awkward to get to as it is on a small side street directly off the main drag once you exit the freeway so go slow or you will pass it. Big parking lot friendly service with full bar. We ordered the appetizers of nachos with brisket, sliders (pulled pork and brisket) and the fried pickles. Pickles were fried dill pickle spears that came with ranch sauce. Good crispness and enjoyable with about 6 spears on the plate. Nachos were massive and was about two meals worth of food for one person or shareable for about 3-4. Good flavor and no queso cheese which was nice. Sliders were good and came with 2 pulled pork and 2 brisket sliders about the size of hawaiin rolls with a small cup of coleslaw. Both had good flavor which went well with the assortment of house bbq sauces on the table. Good quantity, quality for a decent price. read more

The portions are large! The service was excellent. I came in with two friends on a Sunday night - we were immediately seated and given drinks. The menu is pretty much your run of the mill bbq restaurant. Be sure to check out the value meals on the back - they end up being significantly cheaper than ordering individual meals for yourself. We ordered the not so teenie wahine - which included pretty much everything on the menu - a nice small sampling. The three of use could not even put a small dent into the meal - definitely lots of leftovers. My favorite was the bbq ribs - which were very sweet and tangy. A very great value $40 of food - and i was eating for days. read more

My cravings took over and I had to have some BBQ. I used my handy YELP app to see what was close. Smokin' Dave's popped up and I was on my way to lunch. Located in twin lakes right off of 36 on Cortez near the America Furniture Warehouse. Once you step inside you see the old school antique motif and smell the smoke and know you're in a good place. Hannah was on it and catered to my craving of wings, pulled pork sandwich and beans. Sweet tea went down easy. The wings are big and meaty. Choice of Dave's original or hot sauce. Carolina was on spot too awaiting my sauce of choice. The staff was attentive and very welcoming. If you crave BBQ I recommend you give SD's a try. SYOY read more

Smokin' Dave's consistently delivers the yummy! TJ gave great service and made sure we had everything to make this a great meal!

Service was lacking. The pickle fries were a let down. Order basic drinks here because we ordered the menu items and they came made improperly. Would say it's fine for a college kids night out but would not go back due to the price of everything and the lower quality read more

I live in Texas, born and raised. We were in Denver because we are considering moving to the area since my husband is considering a work transfer. With that said, I know BBQ. It's in my veins. I wanted to see how a random BBQ spot stood up to my expectations and let me tell you, they did not disappoint. The Texas brisket is on point, and BETTER THAN several spots in Texas. It's not the best I've had (ahem Goldies, Hutchins) but it's damn solid brisket. The bison ribs are something I've never seen offered anywhere, and they were super tasty. This was a standput unique option I very much appreciated. The chicken didn't have much of a smoky flavor, but was really moist. Also had the chicken fried steak and gravy. Hella great gravy! Ty for not being lazy with instant mix, it drives me crazy! It was like it's own food there, so bravo. The cfs was great and crispy and unique to a "typical" breaded crust. It was kind of like a katsu crust. Also a good choice to order. Fried okra was nothing special but good and hot. The sides though were incredibly impressive. The corn bake is literally the best I've ever had of its style. The bbq beans were outstanding. The red beans in rice in comparison weren't the best but a solid choice, too. I didnt care for the Mac personally, but if you like a whiter cheese, it's good! The cornbread... also good. I can't find fault in really anything here truly, and I'm a very tough grader. Well done yall. read more

Just found out new favorite spot for BBQ!! We went for dinner on a Saturday and found a seat quickly at the bar. It's a cute place with western decor (as expected) with plenty of parking. As soon as you sit down they put a basket of homemade potato chips on the table to nosh on while perusing the newspaper style menu. The staff was super friendly and had great recommendations. We ordered a bit of everything - I got an order of jalapeño hush puppies to share and for me, the duo (pic below) with burnt ends (apparently these aren't a regular menu item so ask about them - trust me!) and the ribs with fried okra and the Mac n cheese. The hubby got the trio with bbq chicken, burnt ends and sausage with collard greens and Mac n cheese. He also ordered wings anticipating they would be his lunch next day. The ribs were amazing!!! As you can see from the clean bone in the pic, the meat is so tender it completely slides off the ribs. The burnt ends were absolutely the best either of us has had. The piece of chicken is the full thigh/leg and seasoned really well. And he liked the sausage but the wings were a show stealer for him - they were big and meaty and perfectly seasoned and coated (note: he ordered them crispy so they cook a bit longer). The sides were all great and the greens got particularly high reviews from him. Not sure if so the hush puppies again - they were okay. We finished with an order of the bread pudding to share (on recommendation from the bartender) and it was fantastic!! It wasn't a typical bread pudding - more like a cake consistency - but really delicious. We had to get a to-go box and I swear we brought home 2lbs of meat for a leftover meal tomorrow. Now we're excited to introduce others - definitely give it a try if you want some good BBQ. read more

Love this place! The best bbq in town. Food is always hot and fresh. Steady beer selection. Service is great, even when busy still very attentive. Great sauces read more

I would have liked to rate it higher on my BBQ spots but wasn't impressed with the food overall. On a positive note the Service provided by Jordan was great. I had the Beef brisket and Sausage with Mac & Cheese and Potato salad. Again not horrible I definitely would recommend the Sausage it was good. The brisket was dry and a little over cooked. The sides were not great. All in the family wasn't to thrilled nor satisfied. I hope the next time we give this spot a chance the food is better. read more

Amazing Denver BBQ Atmosphere: very cool Art Deco license plates repurposed everywhere nice bar plenty of seating inside and outside on the covered patio. Food we ordered: Not so teeny Wahine Dinner: Includes: Half Rack of St. Louis Pork Ribs, 1/2 Chicken, ¼ lb Brisket, ¼ lb Pork, 4 small sides, and 3 pieces of cornbread Half Rack St. Louis Ribs - tender and smoked to perfection BBQ sauce was great on this. 1/4 Lb Brisket - Lean and tender my favorite meat on the combo 1/2 Chicken - really moist and delicious again sauce was amazing 1/4 lb pulled pork - my least favorite of the meats a bit dry but overall better then most BBQ places. Cornbread - Soft and crispy on the edges very sweet BBQ Baked Beans - Surprisingly delicous, i dont normally love beans but these are great! Southern Corn Bake - Biggest surprise it was a corn souflee this is a BIG winner get this. Smashed Potatoes - a bit dry just overall meh. Jalapeño Hushpuppies (6) - VERY good this is another big winner for us, not too spicy. Mac & Cheese - good homemade Mac Dessert: Mile High Beignets (Doughnuts) Western twist on a French classic. These pillows of fried goodness are served three to an order, drizzled with salted caramel sauce and powdered sugar. Served with a scoop of Vanilla Bean ice cream. Holy crap this was AMAZING!!! one of the best desserts we have ever eaten, amazingly soft and pillowy and not crazy sweet, with an amazing vanilla ice cream.

I'm visiting Denver and have felt like I've struck out when it comes to ordering food and eating places. I was worried about ordering bbq but i figure why not. Holy best bake beans ever. The food was hot when i picked it up. The girl at the counter was friendly, nice, and made sure i had everything i needed. Come back to the Airbnb. Food was wrapped great. Everything was separate even the brownie and ice cream. The food was good overall but the baked beans were awesome. I wish i got two side of it. The chicken had some flavor but the sauces made it much better. I would for sure order again. Not sure I would eat inside, it just didn't seem like my vibe. read more

I come here for the great food, happy hour and the charming staff. This morning I ordered a cup of chili. It was a generous portion, complete with soda crackers, cornbread cheese and onions. However it was not chili to me, a hamburger goulash at best. What I am upset about is that the bartender/server was arguing with me. "This chili has won chili competition awards. Everyone else loves it." And then he replied "very good" with each of my comments. I told him that I am an unhappy customer and "very good isn't what I want to hear." The ONLY bad experience I've experienced at Smokin' Dave's. read more

It was Alfies turn to choose date night and he had a hankering for BBQ, given that we are not too far from Smokin Daves and have both driven past it dozens of times when exiting 36 he suggested we try it out. I've been craving onion rings for a minute so I was in. We got in, it has a cute bbq type vibe. I'm not exactly sure what that means but it just looked like how I was expect a bbq place to look; rustic etc. Cute. Our server was super sweet. We ended up ordering a 3 meat combo and a sandwich to share (an of course onion rings) that way we got a good taste of most of the meats, as well as a good array of sides. Now first things first. I don't like potato salad. Unless it's German Potato Salad (vinegar based) I've never met a Pot salad that I liked. Well little did I know that was all about to change. I ordered the potato salad as one of my sides to be a sweet boo knowing Alfie likes it...shoot i think I ate more of it that him. There was something unique about it. It was seasoned perfectly but a hint of acidity, pickles?? Onions?? I don't know. It was just the best damn potato salad I've ever had. I legit told him when we come back we are doubling up on that side. Alfie ordered Mac and cheese for his side which is something I usually gravitate towards; and don't get me wrong it was good, actually far superior to many other Mac and cheese...but it still didn't hold a candle to this potato salad. I know I'm still in disbelief I would say such a thing. Anyways the red beans and rice were a serious close second. Shoot I'd venture to say; you just give me those two sides and I would actually be happy as a clam. Lol The meats were great don't get me wrong. I went with chicken (my fave) brisket of the lean variety, and ribs. I really appreciated that you could choose fattier or leaner brisket..because brisket isn't my top bbq meat selection (it is Alfies fave) but I especially don't like it when it's fatty. The lean brisket here was great. Still fall apart succulent, and not dried out or anything. Ribs of course are great as Ribs tend to be. But that chicken: perfectly cooked and juicy with some great flavor from the bbq. Alfie got the pulled pork sandwich which I also thought was good, but I'm going to be honest with you. Sandwiches are dumb when you go to a bbq joint. Forget all that bread noise. I just want meat and sides. Maybe if you're on the go a sandwich is the right play but if you are sitting down for a meal; do the right thing and order some meat. It's the way to go. Oops I almost forgot to mention the onion rings. They are massive and nicely breaded. I didn't care for the bbq ranch but you can request regular and that was good.I have to say as fried food doesn't travel well we finished the onion rings and that kind of filled me up for the main so are they necessary? I'll let you be the judge of that. They are good. That's how I'll leave it. read more

Been here twice, mixed experience. The great: BBQ Baked Beans are superb. Heavy with brown sugar and simply delicious. 10/10 Had the Mac n cheese on both visits. First visit was oozing with lotsa melted cheese smoking the noodles, second visit significantly less cheesy. Panko topping a nice touch. Hoping next visit this dish will be consistent toward the first visit (very cheesy) instead of less cheesy. Alright, here's the Buyer Beware item. Hugely do not recommend the Crawfish Po Boy. Menu says "dusted in cornmeal". A more accurate description would be "quadruple caked in cornmeal". The sandwich tastes exclusively like deep fried cornmeal balls. You can't taste the crawfish at all (which is why you ordered the crawfish po boy). Extremely disappointing, when you had some good Southern/Cajun food expectations for the sandwich. Second visit I wanted to order the Catfish Sandwich, but its description said "dusted in cornmeal " like the crawfish po boy, and I was gun shy about getting it, obviously. The service is good here. Team concept. Friendly staff. They have four bbq sauces at the table. Original Sweet, Tangy, Spicy, and Mustard Based. Get a side of cornbread (2 muffins), and enjoy squeezing your favorite sauce on the muffin and eating. I'll be back, for the baked beans & cornbread with sauces. read more

Wow. I don't think I have any negatives comments to make about Smokin Dave's. The sauces are great. My favorites are the tangy and spicy sauces. The drinks are huge so waiting on a refill isn't as much of a problem as other places. The meats are perfectly done. Fall off the bone and so tasty! I did have a few sides that were too salty before but they seem to have fixed that issue as my last visit did not have that problem. The size on the not so teeny wahine is huge with a great selection of food. The corn bread is so good. We will be having leftovers for our next meal! Service is top notch as well. We rarely had to wait for anything. I would definitely recommend this place! Just make sure to bring a healthy appetite if you're going to do the not so teeny wahine especially if you have three or less people in your group. read more

So it's hard to find a good barbecue place and I waited a while to try this place. Finally my boyfriend myself and my girlfriend decided that we would get together on a Sunday afternoon and go and check it out so I decided to call on Saturday the day before to see if we needed to make a reservation. I was told that we did not have to make one and that the weight would not be long. I said OK thank you I hung up well we got there we were told we would have to wait but not long, we waited 22 minutes. That's a long time during those 22 minutes not once did the hostess come over and apologize for the wait or offer us something to drink while we were waiting which would've been nice considering how long of a wait we were sitting there, and then of us had eaten before we decided to go there, which was at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, it didn't seem that busy but whatever. Finally, there was a table available somebody besides the hostess came over and got us and escorted us to a table in the back it was nice it was clean and there was constantly somebody cleaning the floor, the tables, and some one was refilling waters, and tea. that's a big plus for me. We sat down at our table and they brought us a basket of homemade chips, super delicious and at the table there were four different types of sauces, which I assumed were homemade. All of them were great flavor, some sweet and some not we tried them with the chips, and they were delicious. The menu was printed as if it was a newspaper which was really cool.!! we ordered brisket with the side orders. It was also delicious. We enjoyed each other's company. We enjoyed the ambience in there. It was just a great time that we had on a Sunday afternoon .The only downfall was the wait. And not being acknowledged during that wait Other than that, the food, the waitress, and the bussers were all wonderful, great staff thank you for taking care of us that all deserves a five-star in my opinion read more

Stopped in for a business lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Food was great with large quantities of meat. I ordered the Dave's 2 Meat plate with (2) sides, slaw and beans which also came with a small cornbread. Good and service were above average although our order took a little longer than it should. There were (4) different bbq sauces to choose from at each table, Original, Spicy, Tangy and Carolina Mustard. My fav was the Tangy. read more
