Pit Fiend Barbecue

Overall Rating and is it worth a visit: 9/10 and Yes. Ended up being a lunch stop for my 36th birthday this year, and it didn't disappoint. A top 3 BBQ spot in Colorado, that is 100% worth the visit and has delivered every time I've gone. As Mike, Juan, & Esteban learned the Texas BBQ ways from their previous restaurant owner/boss Karl Fallenius, who learned from his Pit Master boss before him, the Legendary Aaron Franklin, Pit Fiend delivers for anyone looking for a Central Texas BBQ experience while visiting Colorado or Denver. Simultaneously nailing the classics/staples like the brisket, sausages, and mac & cheese, while also rocking one of the more experimental and unique BBQ menus out there, you're sure to find something you like. Offering great daily specials with some seriously creative options, while also delivering tasty vegan choices such as jackfruit and mushrooms for your meat-averse friends, Pit Fiend has something for everyone in the group. Would recommend and will be back again. Full review at The House of Salt & Smoke

A cross between dungeons and dragons with bbq. The service here is top notch, and very knowledgeable about their bbq. We got the brisket, chicken, mushroom, baked potato with pork belly, corn bread with jalapeno and plain and the cucumber salad. The brisket is tasty and cooked very well. Their rub is unique, coffee and brown sugar gave the meat something different. The pork belly was very tasty and had fall apart texture. The chicken was a bit spicy, with a slightly tough texture. The mushrooms had a similar taste to the chicken but the texture was a mix between pulled pork and over cooked mushrooms. The cucumber salad was cucumber soaked in sour sauce, but it's so tiny. The bagged potato was cooked to perfection and the butter made it a work of art. The jalapeno cornbread was a more savory option with cheese. The plain, with a little honey was a very good traditional cornbread.

Some of the best BBQ I have ever had across all of the US. Friendly staff. Amazing pork belly and brisket. Great homemade fresh sauce. They do BBQ right putting the time. Highly recommend!

I am a true fiend for this place. The atmosphere is unique and fully embraced, the food is LIGHTS OUT. I now come weekly and every time I am met with smiling faces and tons of juicy, tender, delicious meats. This place is wonderful for catering, lunch, dinner, anytime you are hungry, really. Highly recommend the lamb (all meats really), jalapeño cornbread, gold dragon burger (special)
