Tin Star Smokehouse - Golden

Tin Star Smokehouse is amazing! Had the brisket, pulled pork, rib tips, hush puppies, pickles, and chili mac and cheese with a variety of house made sauces. All the meat is dry rubbed and smoked on site with a combination of mesquite and fruit wood. This means you can taste the smoke up front while being left with a sweet finish that highlights the flavor of the rub. The sauces compliment various meats beautifully, although the rib tips were succulent all on their own. The meat was perfect; neither overcooked nor greasy. The hush puppies are the best we’ve had outside of KY. And they make their own lemonade! The owners are friendly and passionate about what they do; great service, atmosphere, and flavor. Don’t let the location dissuade you; it’s well worth it to stop and try. Over and over and over again!

We’re from NC, and were visiting Colorado and stopped here for lunch way back in September of 2017. To this day we still talk about how good the food was. One day we’ll be back in CO and we’ll come have another great meal!

GREAT BBQ! The outside might make you wonder, however, it's what's on the inside that counts. The smokey goodness is permeated throughout the meats with the right amount of smoke. Hatch Chillis mixed into a couple sides gives it a unique flavor with the right amount of heat. Don't pass this one by, you'll be sorry if you do. Trust this local guide, it could compete with the best in St Louis.

Delicious! Ordered the Big Tex brisket sandwich with a side of the campfire beans and added the green Chile Mac and cheese. Tasted the pulled chicken, coleslaw, sweet potato tater tots, and Texas toast. Hit the spot! My favorite was definitely the brisket, home made pickles and the green Chile Mac and cheese. Also, all of their sauces are great!

Andrew and Cate are amazing! Great food and atmosphere at the restaurant. Love the rewards program, how much they give back to the community and schools in the area.
