This is the best bbq I’ve had since I moved to Colorado from Texas 10 years ago. Absolutely delicious and the service we got from Sara was excellent! I love brisket, and it was really good but the ribs stole the show!
It was my birthday and this was the most wonderful service and the most wonderful restaurant we had the most beautiful romantic time in our little cabin my new husband had lost his credit card and we were going to write a check and then the owner comped or maybe it was the server and the service was amazing from the bartenders to the bus boys it was just amazing servicewe're not sure who did it but we thought maybe the owner comped our meal and it was such a wonderful experience they were the most wonderful precious sweet people we had such a wonderful time we'll come back many many times
Stopped here for a quick breakfast before driving Black Bear Pass, and it was delicious! We weren’t sure what to expect and were very pleasantly surprised. Highly recommend!
Just ate here for the first time! THESE are the BEST BBQ ribs you can get on the western slope. Everything about the meal was excellent with one exception. My daughter (9) ordered the buttered noodles (which she loves buttered noodles) but the tiny portion size (basically served in a condiment sized dish) is less than half of the amount of food you would normally get at any other restaurant. I understand it’s the “kids” size but come on you guys you can give the kids more food than that. We had to order extra food for her which we were of course charged for.
Passed through Ouray and were pleasantly surprised with this gem! Perfect relaxed atmosphere, great pricing and the service was spectacular. We had Amanda as our server and Shawn was the bartender and the cocktails and food were amazing. Definitely will be back next time through town! And dog friendly!
Awesome location away from the busy town - take a leisurely walk down the river walk before or after (depending on how much brisket you eat :p). Food was excellent - even the picky meat eater said it was tasty. Our server, Kat, was great! Quick and attentive. Even offered us some water to go for our walk back to town. Thank you!
We went for brunch and dinner and the food was awesome. I had the spicy juevos rancheros for brunch and the feast for two for dinner. The ribs were good, the brisket was great. The juevos rancheros were exquisite. I was very pleased. Pricey but worth it!
Been here for dinner a few times and it's good BBQ! My wife is from Memphis and she approves. I especially like the Brussel sprouts appetizer and the smoked chicken plate. Wife loves the full rack of ribs. We always leave happy.
