Fun place, picnic tables but industrial inside with metal and wood. We had the Brussels sprouts and they are amazing! So tasty, definitely sweetened, multiple textures and flavors. We ordered the Feast for 3 of us with some leftovers. Now to start off, I grew up in Texas and have opinions about BBQ. Hands down I love the ribs here, good smoky flavor, well seasoned, good bark. So yum! Brisket and pulled pork are good. I love to put the coleslaw with the pulled pork. Desserts were tasty too. Staff is so friendly. We had live jazz music while we were here. Go here! Eat ribs! read more

We had a fantastic breakfast at the Smokehouse in Ouray! We meandered through town prior to and nothing was calling to us so we started down the road and happened upon this place and I'm so thrilled about it! It can be a little confusing because it's a part of a campground/ resort. But once you turn in, you can easily identify where to go! Service was great! We sat outside with the nice, warm propane heaters! I got the bronco buster and wife got the all American. The sausage gravy was !! read more

Wow. Such complex pairings in the brisket eggs Benedict. Loved the chunky potatoes to clean up the hollandaise sauce. Son had eggs, brisket and hash. This place left me overhearing multiple people say to waitress "wow this was good." It is a memorable experience. Outside patio had six hummingbirds visiting plants. Hours are odd. Dinner sometimes, sometimes not. Check the Ouray Riverside Resort for info or call so you don't waste a trip. Epic views of mountain behind and joins Ouray River walk. Well worth a bike ride from Ouray on river walk or drive. read more

After a very long drive from Phoenix to Ouray the night before, I decided to take my friends out for breakfast. The location is perfect right by the river and the interior very cozy but we decided to sit on the patio. Although it was chilly, the heaters did a great job of warning us up. The server couldn't be better at her job. Impeccable service! The eggs were perfectly cooked and my friends said the Huevos Rancheros weee the best that they ever had! read more

We are so glad we came across this gem of a restaurant on a previous trip to Ouray. Staying nearby this time we decided to stop in again. To us, this place represents exactly what we love about Ouray: unassuming, welcoming and exceeding expectations. It's a place where you can sit inside or outside and sip a martini from a full bar. (Although we fell for the smokey Old Fashioned). A piano and saxophone combo played jazz. Conversations flowed on all sides at big tables. Located on the cozy grounds of the Ouray Riverside Resort complex, the Smokehouse recently added an enclosed patio with roll-up garage doors to give diners the indoor-outdoor feel. The rib platter and sides were terrific. The meat had a nice peppery bark and came easily off the bone. The Caesar salad and Mac and Cheese sides also were thoughtfully prepared. Desert was a rich Creme Brûlée cheesecake. Travis and his fellow hard-working servers were helpful and friendly. We can't recommend this place enough. read more

Heard good things about The Smokehouse in Ouray, Colorado. We decided to give it a try on Thursday evening. Service was fair but slow and they didn't offer refills on our soda which were almost empty when our food was delivered to the table. Kind of a cool place with outdoor seating and seating inside with the garage doors up on a chilly, windy evening. Food was where I had the main issues though. We both had the brisket 1/2 lb meal that came with baked beans, potato salad and cole slaw. I was not a fan of any of the meal. My wife thought it was fine. Meat was dry and little taste, potato salad was dry, coleslaw was swimming in juice, the beans were similar to a can of cheap baked beans. Bbq sauce was too vinegary for me. I really had high hopes for this joint, but in the evening both my wife and I were feeling sick and she decided to throw out the leftovers she brought from our two plates back to our camper. It was a long night of churning stomach issues if you get my drift! Don't get me wrong- I LOVE BBQ! Hate to give this rating but it is what it is! read more

This is a convenient stop if you're staying at the attached RV park, and even if you're not, it's worth a visit for a fun, easygoing night out. The atmosphere was lively, with live music and a laid-back crowd that made the evening feel relaxed and enjoyable. I started with the cucumber martini, which was fresh, crisp, and perfectly balanced. For dinner, I ordered the sampler platter with brisket, ribs, and chicken. The barbecue was decent across the board. The brisket had good flavor, the ribs were tender, and the chicken was moist and well-cooked. The sides--baked beans and mac and cheese--were both satisfying and filling. Service was excellent. Everyone we interacted with was genuinely friendly and made us feel welcome. The highlight of the night was dessert. The s'mores martini tasted like melted ice cream in the best possible way. It was topped with a torched marshmallow, done tableside, which added a fun and memorable touch. read more

Smokehouse was SO good and super cozy, just a short walk from our cabin. Brunch did not disappoint--the brisket Benedict and burrito were both a 10/10. We even came back one night for a nightcap and dessert. The staff was super friendly. Definitely a must-visit if you're staying at the cabins! read more

This little restaurant is a ways out of ouray and is kind of in the RV park which is why it got 4 stars. The food and service were great. I had the brisket BLT but the b was for brisket. The wife tried the pulled sandwich. I ordered the potato salad which I would totally recommend. The brisket was tender and flavorful. The wife said the pork was also great. read more

TOURISTS AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! Food was rushed- bland, swimming in juices. Kept having to ask for water, and our food. The service was absolutely horrendous. Lynn (racist red head with glasses) had the audacity to have an attitude when we asked to split the check and then tell us "if you want me to sit here for the next 20 minutes and split your check then I'll do it" as if that's not your job? Or maybe you should've asked how the check was going to be taken care of instead of assuming? We came as two separate tables, ordered separately, at what point did we say it was a joint check? Also sitting there at the bar talking bad about people in our party to the bartender and acting surprised when getting caught? Not only disrespectful but unprofessional, in the future maybe wait until they are out of your restaurant before ranting. Mind you we got there about an hour before closing, and we had all decided that due to us being so late we were all leaving a large tip ($40 per couple, we were 8 couples), but a $474 check with an added $73 tip for that kind of service and food? Would leave $0 in tips and 0 stars if I could. Still wondering why it's so hard to support small businesses? It's because of people like Lynn! read more

Great restaurant while visiting Ouray. Pet friendly outdoor patio was very helpful for us. Great service, great food, and friendly staff. This was our second visit and great service and food both time. read more

Great outdoor parking and very fast service. We had the sampler and the brisket and ribs were amazing. The sides are ok.

Located at the Ouray riverside resort but open to everyone. Cute smokehouse with nice bar inside. Some outdoor seating too but looks to RVs which isn't where I would choose to sit unless it's karaoke night or live band night. Our waitress Kathy was great- kind, friendly and attentive. Our food - smokehouse for 2 was a lot of smoked meat and an amazing barbecue sauce- like really good. Cocktails were delicious! Old fashion was Smokey and so good. S'more's tasted just like s'mores - yum- just do it. read more

The pulled pork sandwich was yummy. Aiden was a very helpful server. The view of the mountain was beautiful.

Excellent pulled pork sandwiches. Being from the south, I'm always a skeptic when trying bbq out west. Coleslaw is just as good. Excellent service, fast, dog friendly, even brought my dog water. A hidden gem in Ouray. It's located to one side of an RV park and easy to miss! Highly Recommend! read more

We had soooo much fun with the live music (Jack Haight) and the food was great. I had the smoked pork ribs and my wife had the smoked shrimp. All wonderful. Jack is a great entertainer. Huge range of music choices. We'll be back!! read more

Outstanding food! The Bronco Buster and French Toast are outstanding. The ambiance was nice and quaint. We were unsure at first but were so glad we went. We will be back! read more

The food was great. The waiter not so much. He never brought toppings for the baked potato. Never checked to see if we wanted another drink or dessert. Never cleared a dish from the table and didn't know how to split the bill. Hope he plays guitar better than being a server. read more

Had a nice meal and tasty cocktails here while visiting Ouray. The servers were so nice and working so hard. It was super busy and there was 1 bartender and 1 waiter managing the entire restaurant. Things took a little while to come out but that was okay, we were in no rush and enjoying our time there. Ambiance is really cozy in there. read more

The pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw was very good. One of the better ones I've ever had and it had a delicious, although a bit too sweet, sauce. French fries were just average but the beer selection is good. Service was quick and efficient and great outside seating in the shade or sun but I didn't go inside. I wouldn't call it overpriced at all so I would recommend it if you would like a decent meal when they are open because they have specific hours but I'm sure there are other places in town that are just as good or better. Have to say that overall for lunch with a pint of beer and a good pulled pork sandwich, the price was average or better than average. read more

The food was okay. The service was good. The specialty drinks tasted like they were watered down. When we got the bill there was an extra charge for the "kitchen" and when we selected to continue (cc payment) the next page asked for the TIP. That is pretty bold! We have seen different ways that businesses have tried to squeeze a few more dollars out of their customers. This is a new one! Shame on you! read more

Great food, prices, service, and atmosphere. If you're considering going to "kamis samis" the other breakfast place in town over this you should slap yourself in the face. read more

Went for dinner service was great food was good. However they gave me a bill that stated tip would be added to parties of six or more and they still added it to our party of 2 as well as a 5% for kitchen. They did not tell us but I read it and saw it was added. I also ordered an iced tea. Most places give free refills but not here and the cup was so small. The band was playing and it was great. I am good about tipping but hate when they add it and don't tell you. The secrets of the tip and lack of telling us refills are extra I feel takes away a couple stars read more

The ribs were absolutely cooked to perfects melting in your mouth right off the bone. We got the meat feast for two. It was 1/4 chicken, half rack ribs and beef brisket with Mac and cheese, beans and coleslaw. Service is quick and the food by far the best we ever had! read more

The food was really good and the platter for 2 was amazing, we shared it with three people. The service was awesome and the environment was peaceful and welcoming. Highly recommended read more

Drove all the way from San Diego, California to stay at the Ouray Riverside RV resort. Wanted to go to the Smokehouse restaurant for Christmas Eve dinner. Everything was perfect. Cooked to perfection. Service was incredible. If you see this before New Year's Eve, they have a repeat of the same. Gotta go try it read more

The pros - the food was great! We had the Smokehouse special for 2. That included beef brisket, pork ribs and chicken. The brisket was really tender as were the ribs! The chicken was a little dry. The service was great but we also got there right when it opened at 5 PM. The cons - we were second in line when it opened and of course, the restaurant was totally empty. Most of the tables had Reserve signs on them. We got a cramped little table in the center that the hostess said was the only one not reserved or we could sit at the bar and have dinner. By the time we left, there were several tables that still had Reserve signs on them and they were still empty. They gave you nice, heavy, silverware, nice cloth napkins, nice heavy plates and - silly plastic glasses for water. They give you a little iPad looking thing to pay. All of the charges looked accurate so we hit continue left a nice 20% tip and asked to have our receipt printed. I had read the other yelp review that said that there were added charges and I wanted to see if they did that to us as well. They did! There was a 5% added tax for kitchen help. It did not show up on the charges prior to getting the printed receipt. I too strongly object to this. It's one thing if they had put it on the list of charges prior to you deciding on your tip and prior to you paying the total amount. There was no way to opt out of it gracefully other than to tell the server or manager, you weren't going to pay it. Also, call ahead to make sure they're open. We actually came a long way on bicycle to have an early dinner at 4 o'clock and you bike back home by dark. On their website & on Apple Maps and even on a board above their front door- it all shows they're open!! But they are not open for several hours between lunch and dinner. read more
