1. The Seasoned Brisket (Craig)

What better way to begin (or end, depending on where you hop on!) this delicious road trip than a place called the Seasoned Brisket? Located in Craig, the Seasoned Brisket has something for literally everyone, as it not only boasts mouthwatering brisket and BBQ but a tasty vegetarian menu as well.

2. All Smoked Up BBQ (Walden)

Like all great BBQ joints, All Smoked Up has all of the BBQ staples you know and love, plus innovative new favorites like BBQ nachos and ribs smothered in a homemade green chile. Yum!

3. Sagebrush BBQ & Grill (Grand Lake)

"Good BBQ, good folks, and good mountain-town times" await you at Sagebrush, a favorite of locals and visitors alike! Whether you order the pulled pork, ribs, brisket, or spicy sausage links, your tastebuds will be changed forever! (Bonus: Sagebrush is also THE place to go for local game plates.)

4. Rusty Tapp (Littleton)

Who says you can't get great BBQ in the city? Not us (or the Rusty Tapp)! While the smoked beef, pork, poultry, and sandwiches are reason enough to visit, the scratch sides (a la potato salad, coleslaw, mac and cheese, and green beans) may just steal the show.

5. BBQ Heaven (Colorado Springs)

Let's just say that BBQ Heaven lives up to its name (I mean, you are seeing this pulled pork perfection, right?)... Pair with a smoke master who is as friendly as he is talented, and you will be back for seconds!

6. This n That BBQ Shack (Penrose)

Like All Smoked Up, This n That has nachos (with your choice of plain, pulled pork, or chicken), PLUS wings, sandwiches (meatloaf, anyone?), hot dogs, and smoked sausage. Which will you choose?
