Great BBQ also great sides. Highly recommended for the ribs!! Wonderfully smoked and tasted perfect. Very small restaurant but great food.

Great BBQ place with counter service, bar, and patio. It was quite busy when we came for lunch but came back for dinner. Super surprised about the very reasonable prices, super tender and tasty meat, and friendly staff. Definitely would come back.

Nice little spot if you are headed to the Mountains. Friendly service, full bar backed by some really good BBQ! I will make this a regular stop on the way home.

I had the brisket and Mac & cheese, and let me tell you, it was next-level good. The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender with just the right amount of smoky flavor. Perfectly seasoned, juicy, and with a beautiful bark, it's easily one of the best briskets I've ever had. And the Mac & cheese? Creamy, cheesy, and absolutely indulgent. It's that perfect comfort food you didn't know you needed to pair with BBQ. Together, it's a match made in BBQ heaven! The staff is friendly, and the laid-back atmosphere makes it the ideal spot to enjoy a good meal. Do yourself a favor and head over to Smokin' Yard BBQ--you won't be disappointed!

This place is so popular, we got in a short line to order but when I turned around there was a long line behind us. The service was very good, order taken quickly & correctly. Sat down and food & drinks were delivered shortly. The staff were very efficient serving and cleaning as they go. Fortunately there are so many great BBQ places in Colorado. We tried the pulled pork, beef brisket, burnt ends & ribs with Mac & cheese, onion rings and coleslaw. All were good, my favorite was the burnt ends (always my favorite). The 3 sauces in the squeeze bottles tasted very similar & the bottle was more vinegar. I like the thicker BBQ sauces. Excellent service & clean environment for a very busy place serving inherently messy foods.

We stopped here on our drive from Denver to Steamboat Springs a big were we blown away! We enjoyed (read: devoured) the pulled pork sandwiches and my kids loved the Sloppy Joes. I really appreciated their variety of sides and that they had a salad option (this is so uncommon for a BBQ joint) to balance everything out. There is ample seating and we highly recommend the back porch! After eating, we walked down the steps to check out the river and dip our feet in. So serene!

Normally when I drive by smoking yards there is a line out the door and the place is totally mobbed, but the weekend after Labor Day it was surprisingly dead so we decided to head in for lunch. Ordered the pulled chicken and pork along with a couple kids Mac and cheese and everything was great. Grabbed a table in the back on the patio and was shortly greeted with our refreshments. The buns on their sandwiches are large and soft which makes for a big meal when paired with a side. Always like to call out restaurants who take care of the kids and their Mac and cheeses were delicious. The back patio is dog friendly with only one confrontation occurring. Menu is typical to a BBQ place with a large selection of sides which the fried pickles were delicious.

Everyone is incredibly friendly you can even get a table overlooking the river. the food here is amazing as the value some of the best barbecue I've had. The ribs were delicious. The slow cooked pork fantastic baked beans. Tasty delicious the chicken great the sweet tea with a fresh squeeze. Lemon was really good . If you're in this area you Should definitely stop here.

Stopped here from my annual trip to the west coast to visit the sonic here and for sonic burrito week, also udaho springs, CO has multiple sonics :) The review is for the food as much as the service. The woman at the counter taking orders told me they had everything still available and when I asked about the here ends they said of course. So I'm waiting for my takeout order and in walks an Asian lady who looked grumpy and stupid. She asks for a recommendation and he recommends the burnt ends. She begins complaining anyway because they weren't wearing masks. None the less they still serve her and don't lose their temper. Apparently everybody can order burnt ends!? FYI, we ordered Fries, meat plate, and wings. All amazing along with the sauces. None of the people at the smoking yards bbq were wearing masks which pretty much tells you how MAGA this place is

Holy cowwww the bbq slapped! My brother and I got the sliced beef brisket sandwiches, one with a side of Mac n cheese and another with a side of creamed corn. The sandwich was amazing. The bun was buttery and crispy, the brisket was flavorful and tender. There were 3 different sauces, either sweet, bold, or spicy. All of em were good. My family's favorite was the sweet sauce. Mac n cheese was okay, tasted kind of bland. The creamed corn was actually grinded down, which I've never seen before! The texture reminded me of grits, but it still had the same delicious flavor of creamed corn I've had before. Service was alright, nothing too special. Only time we really interacted was when we paid for the food and then when we had to ask for bread, pickles, and onions on the side for the pound of sliced beef brisket my mom and dad ordered. Not sure how people like to eat their bbq, but they were going to serve the meat just by itself. They provide very little portions of onions and pickles. Small parking lot in front! Wasn't too busy when we went.
