The food was really good. The best barbecue we've had in Colorado by far. Arguably worth the drive from Denver just for the food. The waiters were great, especially Ricky. Try the fried okra as a side.Kid-friendliness: Great value kids meal. They wanted to come back every day.

Amazing bbq, really nice staff. If you’re visiting Estes Park do come by for a meal! Also their pecan pie is great!
Perfect meal after a busy day in the park. We really enjoyed the ribs, pork, brisket, sausage, and all the sides we ordered. Great coleslaw too! There are plenty of menu options to please a family without it being overwhelming. I noticed from the start that Ricky our server is very efficient at what he does, he was awesome. This restaurant is doing things right and I’ll be back here again.

We came here mostly out of curiosity, because we are from East Texas and we wanted to know what the BBQ in Colorado would be like. We were very pleasantly surprised, the meat was all tender and not smoked perfectly. The service by our waiter Ricky was super fast and responsive. Overall a very good experiance.

We got an appetizer sampler (highly recommended), 2 meat (half chicken/pulled pork), and a Caesar salad. All portions were large and pricing was reasonable. Flavors were delicious and we loved the “sweet original” and “Carolina mustard” bbq sauces.The only issue was it took almost 5 minutes for anyone to check on us upon arrival. Multiple employees made eye contact but didn’t speak to us. We also had multiple people behind us.All in all, we would love to come back again.
I ordered the fish and chips and the fish was very crispy. My husband got brisket and pulled pork. The brisket was very fatty and it normally has some fat but it was not great. Our server had several tables while a group of employees stood around talking in the back. Our server did the best he could but needed help and nobody was offering. Pretty lackluster place.

My friend and I are visiting from Iowa and we decided to try Smokin' Dave's BBQ. It was amazing. We dug into the food so fast and forgot to take a picture. We had the Hoggin Combo which everything on it was delicious! My friend had the Cajun chicken sandwich with smashed potatoes and I had the BBQ chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. All was delicious, our service was great and the atmosphere was chill. We will for sure be back!
Unbelievably good food, some of the best bbq we’ve had. If you have a baby, no changing tables in the restrooms, but other than that no complaints, amazing bbq and great regional drinks. Solid prices!!

Very good experience overall, food was great for everyone and even for my mom who has a gluten allergy. Our server, Ricky, was very nice and checked on us enough so we got what we needed but wasn't checking on us too much. Wasn't super loud and was honestly very quiet and peaceful. Overall a nice experience and would recommend if you are in the areaDietary restrictions: My mom who has a gluten allergy was able to eat there worry free.Parking: About 15 spots open and can get full a little quickKid-friendliness: Was a very polite and quiet atmosphere good for children just maybe not very small children or babies
Out all the places we tried in Estes Park Smokin Dave’s hit it out of the park for us! Our waiter Ricky was super nice and amazing at his job!!! We will definitely be coming back to this place when we come back up for our next trip
Great experience, great BBQ, Ricky was awesome!
