This barbeque is legendary, a status I have never given before. They have brisket, ribs, burnt ends, pulled pork, chicken, sausage, beans and it's amazing. I savor this more than the other barbeque places. They give BBQ sauce, which you don't even need because of the seasoning they use. The meat is also so tender and juicy and smoked to perfection. I always buy so much because the family love this place. Get it when you get a chance, because they aren't open everyday and sell out quick. You'll find them in Parker at the farmers market, or Elizabeth at the Elizabeth Tech Center. They are so welcoming and the service is amazing.

I've lived here for more than 50 years and can confirm that Smokey Trail is the best Colorado-style BBQ in Colorado. The brisket, ribs, and pulled pork are delicious. You can tell they are made with care and experience. We originally tried them at the Parker Farmers Market, and put in a large order for Fathers Day. I think everyone we hosted enjoyed!

So glad I stopped here yesterday. I was going to a food chain and saw this trailer and decided I would much rather go here. I am sure glad I did. the wife and I both ordered the brisket sandwich and it was delicious. I scarfed mine down so fast. It was so juicy and tender. I would highly recommend stopping here and grabbing a bite to eat. They also offer Pulled pork and chicken. Next time I will try a different meat. Not to mention the couple running this are very nice and pleasant to speak with. If you are by the store swing in here and grab some meat to go. You wont be disappointed. the BBQ sauce for the sandwich is served on the side which I personally like so i can add the right amount.
