While traveling through south-central Colorado, AI recommended a local brewery as a lunch stop. On our walk there, however, we were drawn in by the incredible aroma coming from Woody's Q Shack. After reading the excellent reviews, we decided to have lunch there and save the brewery for drinks only. Upon entering, we were greeted by a friendly staff member who explained the daily lunch special: a pulled pork sandwich, fries, and a drink. It sounded like a great value, so we ordered two specials along with a serving of the banana pudding for dessert. The pulled pork sandwich was served without sauce, allowing us to customize it from several barbecue sauce options available at the self serve counter. The pork was flavorful and tender, the fries were crispy, and the banana pudding was a delicious finishing touch that definitely hit the spot. Prices were very reasonable, especially considering the value of the lunch special. One thing to note is that a 3% fee is added for credit card purchases, and the restrooms are reserved for customers only. Overall, this was a fortunate and memorable find. The food was satisfying, the service was friendly, and the value was excellent. I would highly recommend Woody's Q Shack to anyone traveling through south-central Colorado and looking for authentic barbecue. read more

Appears to be family run and great service was provided. The beef brisket was excellent. Seating was indoors at wood picnic tables. The others that I was with all enjoyed their meals as well. read more

The burnt ends met expectations - definitely worth it if you enjoy them. Overall, this is a solid location. Location is semi-clean; sort of expected at a BBQ joint. Grabbing the sauces is fun because it's like you're milking the sauces. Service is nice and prompt. I'd get the burnt ends here repeatedly but nothing else. The pulled port and brisket were mediocre. The brioche buns helped on the pulled pork sandwich, but it needed a lot of sauce. The fries were also mediocre. The loaded mac bowl was nuts. It was rich in flavor, but it was so packed and covered in cheese that it tasted like food coma in a bowl. I think it was good, but nothing I'd ever eat again. read more

I'm traveling through Staff were nice and quick but.... Meat was stone cold and super dry couldn't even finish the food! Spacious dining and ok music but cold & dry food is a no go for me read more

Great food, atmosphere and customer service! Also very accommodating for our dog on porch

The brisket nachos are AWESOME!! Quick service and friendly staff. Definitely worth checking out.

We're in Alamosa for the weekend and turned to Yelp for help in finding a place for dinner. The reviews here were glowing so we gave it a shot. I love good BBQ and smoke my own meat on occasion, so I was hoping to be bowled over. What a disappointment! They were out of the well-reviewed burnt tips, so I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and my wife ordered the stuffed baked potato. The pork, on it's own, was tender but had absolutely no flavor! I kept wondering why and then it occurred to me: they don't use any wood! There was no smoky flavor whatsoever: no hickory, no applewood, no cherry wood or no mesquite. They simple slow roasted the meat. The only flavor came from the four BBQ sauces provided: a Carolina, Original, Hot Mamma and sweet Mama. They provided pickles and pickled onions which was a nice touch. That's not BBQ. My wife's potato was SWIMMING in a liquid. After some investigation, we realized that it was butter. It had the same bland pulled pork and a dollop of sour cream. She ate about a quarter of it and pushed it away. The coleslaw was limp with little crunch, had onions in it, but no mayo. The place was clean, the staff friendly. I appreciate the "Free Fry Fridays" which gave us free french fries that pretty good. Would I come back? Sadly, nope. I want a BBQ joint where you can see/smell the smoke coming out of the place and taste the smoke in the meat. That's what BBQ is all about. read more

This place was fantastic! They were patient with my kids. Amazing, friendly, delicious. All of the things!

Great lunch stop after visiting the Great Sand Dunes national park! Staff were super friendly and restaurant was spotless. We had the Cuban pulled pork- juicy and made well; the Carolina pulled pork - great coleslaw! (Vinegar based); and the smoked turkey which was also very tasty. The Mac and cheese (real white cheddar) and campfire beans were fabulous! Enjoyed the 80s music and outdoor patio. read more

The food was good and exactly what we were expecting looking for BBQ. The menu had a variety of options if you want to share a plate as well as individual sandwiches. Nice variety of sauces, there was a sauce that fit everyone liking. Price point was normal for a traditional barbecue joint. The staff was friendly and the food came out quick and hot. I do wish it had more of a restaurant feel to it compared to a fast food joint. Like most traditional bbq spots you order at the counter compared to at the table. At lunch time I wouldn't have even thought about it but going there for dinner didn't feel like going out to an actual restaurant. This is purely my preference and opinion and shouldn't stop anyone from visiting if you're looking for good BBQ. read more

On my current trip across the US I passed on bbq going through Kansas City in lieu of Chinese. I am so glad I made this decision since it freed me up to try bbq elsewhere. I can't tell you how fortunate I was to find Woody's giving me another reason to visit beautiful Alamosa! When I saw the menu I was well pleased to see my favorite offering of burnt ends. Sadly I saw them on the 86 board but the guy behind the counter (Josh I think his name was) was able to find some for me! That kind of service would make any customer happy. The sauces, four of them in total were impressive. My favorite was the smokey, sweet and hot KC style with celery seed like a cross between KC Joe and Gates. I drank it straight from the little cup. If you find yourself passing through Alamosa you can't go wrong stopping here for some great q. They even had beer which sadly I passed on since I had to drive. The demeanor was clean and comfortable. read more

It was alright. The Mac and cheese, beans and fries were good. The staff was friendly. I think it was excessive to have an up charge on ribs and brisket. The brisket lacked flavor and was dry and I'm not a harsh critic to bbq. The ribs were chewy and dry as well. All in all it was alright and overpriced. read more

I always like to try different bbq spots so to Woody's Q Shack we went. Service was friendly and fast. What I loved was the barbecue sauce dispensers. It's just like milking a cow and pretty fun. The food is pretty lackluster. There's not a lot of flavor. Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage. There wasn't even a hint of spicyness, and the flavor was bland. read more

The BBQ was awesome, staff was helpful checked in on us twice. Brisket is perfect, ribs are perfect, side were alright but still good. 10/10 some of the best barbecue in Colorado. It's a small town with a big BBQ joint. Good job woodys read more

I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, burnt ends and Mac sandwich and the onion rings. My favorite was the burnt end and Mac sandwich. The flavor and tenderness of the meat was perfect. The flavor, in my opinion didn't need any sauces added but I tried the sauce just to see the difference. It just enhanced the flavor even more! The crisp outer onion ring was just the right crispy texture and soft onion in the middle. This place is definitely a MUST! I'm pretty confident anything you order will be made with quality ingredients! read more

By Far one of my Favorites in town. The food is fresh! Quickly made! And ... DELICIOUS! Having them just down the block is a bit dangerous to my diet ... but worth every step! I even have the T-Shirt! Weekly specials! Imaginative Recipes! Online Ordering! Regular Customer Rewards! In-house choice of several BBQ Sauces! GREAT Online Rings! I even love the Potato Salad with just a drizzle of Signature BBQ Sauce! They even have a house salad! Give it a Try! It's worth it! read more

The food, service, and convenience was just lovely. The macaroni and cheese is a true 5 star experience!

Great BBQ! I got the 1 meat @ 2 sides. The brisket fell apart easily and was delicious. The campfire beans and Mac and cheese were great as well! Can't wait to try other items on their menu! read more

Woody's Q Shack - 1 Meat 2 Sides (Brisket w/ Campfire Beans and Mac & Cheese) - Barbeque Near Me - Alamosa, Colorado

We were trying out prior to order for a catered event. Skimpy serving on meat for price. $35 for 2 meats and 2 sides included up pricing for brisket, 1 drink. Potatoe salad and Cole slaw were good. Ice tea had no flavor. Asked for bread, given a stale roll. Left hungry. Clean facility, friendly service read more

Delicious food, nice family friendly atmosphere. Great service and clean facilities. They were very kind with our little family meltdown. Would come back for sure read more

09/28/2021 Tuesday 2:15pm. Passing through on the way back home to Texas. So we know our Cue. We eat quite a bit of it and are KCBS judges for fun. We ordered a 2 meat plate. The brisket comes lean or moist as burnt ends for $2.00 more. Lean is like roast beef so we always get moist. In this case we had to have the burnt ends. They were better than average. The ribs were solid! Good flavor and smoke as good as some competition ribs we have had! Our only critique with the ribs, they were a tad dry. Neither meats were hot at all! Our sides were uninspired mac&cheese and onions rings. What no green veggies at all?! Not even the obligatory canned green beans?! We are satisfied. We have paid more for cue that wasn't even half this good. We would recommend it and would have given it higher rating had the food been warm! read more

Always good! Very tasty pork sandwiches and friendly fast service too! Highly recommend the sweet mama sauce.

All I can say is wow for Woody's, W Q S has, I have to say, the best ribs that I have eaten in Colorado, and the brisket sandwich M D W ordered was also pretty good, although she said it was not as moist as she would have liked. Woody's offers inside, and outdoor dining (we ate outside), and the experience was seamless, from ordering at the counter, to our food being brought out to us. The only thing that I really did not like was the way the barbecue sauce is served, it is served at a table with inverted containers with squeeze bottles connected to them and everyone squeezes the bottles into little containers provided when ordering at the counter... A lot of hands are pawing those BBQ bottles, it's like milking a BBQ sauce cow. A different way to get your sauce on would be fire. read more

The brisket was good. The bun was soft and the barbecue sauce was really tasty. I did pay a lot more than I was expecting for a brisket sandwich fries and some coleslaw about $25. read more

We are on a short trip from Texas to escape the heat and came across this gem. The Turkey sandwich, pulled pork baked potato and Mac and cheese were all delicious! We love the variety of sauces. Everyone was so friendly! If you're passing through Alamosa, don't miss this deliciousness! If we lived here, it would be a weekly meal in our house. read more

The food was absolutely delicious and the service was great but they charged us over $40 for a three meat plate (3/4 lb) of meat with two small sides. It seemed absurdly expensive. read more

Amazing food, service, and portions! Would eat here 100 more times when given the opportunity. The burnt ends, turkey, potato salad, Mac and cheese, and Bannana pudding were amazing!! read more

The staff are super super nice and welcoming. I enjoyed the tasty burger with 60% beef and Bacon mixed in; but the fixings were very slim...small slice of tomato, lettuce and onion...that's it. they have mustard, catsup and ranch if you like to add to bun. Stick with pulled Pork Sandwiches...they are meaty packed. The side items are very small. Everything is spicy and salty; but not good for those who do not like salty with a punch. It is pricey , and the sides are small portions. Handicap accessible and clean. read more

Overpriced for the skimpy portions. Brisket and pulled pork was dry and lacking flavor. Ice tee machine served colored water. On a positive note, the service was good. read more

I LOVE this place!!! They have the sweetest owners!! The food is honestly the best in the valley if you want/like BBQ. It's freshly made and flavorful and awesome portions. The environment is so chill and clean. It's my son's favorite place to eat; they are so sweet, they always make the time to chat with him. I genuinely wish this business nothing but success. read more

There isn't many options in Alamosa but if your in the mood for bbq this is definitely the top spot! We ordered the 3 meats and 2 sides plate and it was definitely the right amount of food for two people. My favorite meat was surprisingly the jalapeño cheddar sausage. It was really delicious with jalapeños and cheese just bursting out! The burnt ends we're also really tasty and cooked perfectly. The biggest disappointment of the meal was the brisket, while it was still good it's normally the star of the show and mine was more of just a supporting actor. The sides were both done well with the cowboy beans being my favorite, super good with pieces of bacon and other goodies added. The Mac was decent but mostly what you would expect from anywhere else. read more

Woody's Q Shack - 3 Meats 2 Sides - Barbeque Near Me - Alamosa, Colorado

Passing through another town and wanted something fast but not fast food. They didn't disappoint. I tried both the pulled pork and brisket by getting the half nachos. Both were delicious! Since I'm someone that doesn't like the heavy BBQ sauce on most BBQ, they allow you to self serve your own flavor and amount of BBQ sauce. The Pitmaster rolls were unique and and excellent mix. The staff was pleasant and quick. We didn't lose much time to get back on the road. The dining room takes you to a backyard BBQ, a welcomed change from sitting in the car for hours. Definitely would stop here again! read more

Woody's Q Shack - Pitmaster Rolls and BBQ nachos (half pulled pork, half brisket) - Barbeque Near Me - Alamosa, Colorado

Had high expectation for this place but was truly disappointed. Let me start with the good: service was friendly and fantastic, onions rings were good, seasoned fries were good (but cold), ambience was nice. Now for the negative: Baked potato salad: truly disgusting, drenched in oil, greasy and tasted bad Mac n cheese: basic, served cold Brisket: extremely dry to the point that its hard to swallow, served cold Ribs: sad and dry, served cold Buffalo wings: lacked buffalo sauce, served cold Seasoned fries: although had good flavor, fries were cold like they've been sitting on the counter for awhile BBQ sauces: all waaay to sweet. No balance in flavor. Why was everything on my plate cold? Too bad. read more

Fantastic barbecue! Ribs were lean and fall off the bone tender. Wings were smokey and crispy. Both were excellent without any sauce. The smoked brisket is very good. Nachos were okay except for the powdered style cheese sauce. Clean place and friendly staff. Highly recommend this place. read more

5 stars all the way! We ordered "Papa Jeff's Platter" for a chance to try a bunch of their meats and sides. The ribs were fantastic! All the other meats - brisket, pulled pork, turkey, sausage - were really good. The wings surprised us with how good they were. I really enjoyed the Baked Potato Salad (as opposed to their Potato Salad) and Campfire Beans, both of which are somewhat unusual sides, and both very good. My family usually prefers KC-style BBQ sauce, but not here; the "Hot" (which was not) and Original were well liked, but the Sweet was not (we thought it too sweet). The Platter is said to feed 6-8 people and it definitely would; the four of us were stuffed and we still took home leftovers. We would go out of our way to stop here again. read more

Price was outrageous for what it was. Brisket was dry, mac and cheese is the worst I've had, mushy and literally 0 flavor. The wings were good but 11$ for 6 wings. I just wouldn't recommend this place, brought our order out wrong a couple times. I would just go across the street to purple pig and get a pizza for 2-3 for 16 dollars. read more
