One of the best BBQ/Smokehouses in all of Colorado, they're only open from May to October, then they close for the season. They are in the heart of the Elk Mountains at 7,960 ft in elevation. It's about a 40 min drive from Glenwood Springs.

The smoked chicken is absolutely phenomenal. Crispy skin, the rub is to die for, the chicken is moist and incredibly tender. The ribs are perfectly smoked on an enormous stick burner smoker with hickory wood and pecan. Tender and tasty with an excellent dry rub. It's pricey but worth every dime when I go. My plate and drink before tip were $40. But you get your moneys worth. The cornbread isn't good at all, it has a peculiar taste and is very dry and crumbly. The beans and slaw were good. A little small on the portion for the beans but you get so much meat you're full.

Oh and this place is so popular, sometimes there's a line down the street two blocks from the steps. So be prepared to wait.

Looks pretty tasty.
Appears you hit about 50/50 on your road trip on eating establishments .
The most disappointing part is the Texas places I went to on my storm chasing trip back in April. I haven't posted those yet. 😬

For all the junk Texans talks about "real bbq" and "real brisket" and "real ribs"....pfffftt, there were more BAD reviews than there were good reviews. Texas does steak and steakhouses right, but the rest of their bbq and smoked meat leaves a lot to be desired.
