what a little gem, my cholesterol will never be the same
we found it based on the iphone yelp application, and it was exactly what we were looking for
small (old house)
not much on the atmosphere, basically 3 doors converted into tables seating 6-8
family run
we had been struggling with car troubles and just wanted good food, another couple at our table recommended the brisket (wow) -- we opted for the try-it-all ($20, oh so good), perfect for 2 normal eaters, 3 side onion rings beans and cheese potato (eh)
AND the best corn muffins ever
We found this place after a long day of driving. Â
We had the "Try it All" platter like another Yelp-er. Â Fantastic. Â The brisket was my favorite. Â The beans and onion rings were yummy. Â The cheesy potatoes were okay.
There are only 3 tables - we shared a larger table with another couple who came in after us and had a nice chat. Â This place does a HUGE take out business with the locals.
Who could have room for dessert?!?
A great stop along the way to Denver.
btw - it is BYOB
Upon arrival smokey goodness meets you at the door. Â KT has a varied menu of burgers, ribs and other BBQ favorites. Specials are listed on the wall. We shared the All in One platter, which had smoked sausage, moist pulled chicken, brisket, pulled pork and fall off the bones ribs, three sides we chose baked beans, coleslaw and onion rings and four cornbread muffins all for less than $20.00. They have four sauces on the table for you to use as you need.
It's worth a drive from Denver for some great barbecue or if you are driving I-70 like we were, pull off the road in Strasberg for some delicious BBQ.
This restaurant has no affiliation to the KT's BBQ in Broomfield/Lafayette, CO. Â Different menus and BBQ sauces.
On a long drive back to Denver from Missouri, got hungry after realizing that we passed Limon.. Â What to eat? Â Where to eat? Â Looked up places in Deer Trail.. no luck.. Byers... no luck neither.... Â and found this place with some Google reviews and decided to stop in Strasburg, CO.
It's located conveniently next to a KOA campground. Â Small house that's converted to a restaurant has really cute charm. Â The place is clean and well decorated. Â They make everything in house and has burger and salad choices if you're not in the mood for BBQ. Â
We ordered a Try-All BBQ plate to share between 2 people. Â It comes with couple ribs, BBQ pork, BBQ brisket, BBQ chicken and hot links. Â You get a choice of 3 sides and also you get 4 corn bread muffins. Â The price is around $19 for the plate to share and with couple of sweet tea the total came out to be about $24 before tip. Â We got fried okra, onion rings and cheesy potatoes. Â (Some other choices that I can remember are fries, sweet potato fries, hot veggies, mashed potato... ) Â The sides were delicious!
There are 4 BBQ sauces to try. Â My personal favorite is the Lawman with a little smoky flavor. Â Also the Vaquero sauce is really good but it tastes more like an asian sweet chili sauce more than hot BBQ. Â Don't remember the other 2 names. Â All really great stuff. Â Everything turned out great and the chicken was tender.. I wish there was a bit more flavor on the meat but I guess the whole purpose is to try all sauces so the meat is not seasoned much with the exception of the hot links and ribs. Â
They also have fried Twinkie for dessert but we got too full on the main course we didn't have room to eat more. Â Also had some left overs to take home for snacks later. Â Big portions. Â They also do catering and there is 1 table outside that you can sit and eat... it was too hot for us to do that the day we stopped by. Â (No shade.) Â They also offer Taco Tuesdays and Brunch on Saturdays. Â
Definitely will come back again if I was to drive out East from Denver. Â Great treasure find in the middle of nowhere. Â :)
