Brisket is the best. Pork is ok. Did not care for the fired pickles or catfish. They were Old and cold

Fantastic! Pretty much the best place to get beef ribs and their BBQ chicken is moist and delicious (and I really don't care for chicken). I will not vacation anywhere else than Estes Park because I MUST have this BBQ at least yearly. I have eaten at the Longmont Smokin Daves as well and it is delicious as well, but the atmosphere is amazing in the original restaurant. Besides the owner Dave is a hottie! 

Business response:

Thanks for your kind (and humorous) words, Deb!

The BBQ had a little too much fat...waitress was nice, but we asked for the fries to be crispy and she was unable to fulfill this request.
