Fat BBQ Shack: Reviews & Ratings
Amazing place to stop by for a lunch, dinner, or snack! The gentleman there helped us decide on what we want, and he was very helpful with my boyfriend’s celiac disease. Going out to eat is usually very stressful considering cross-contamination, but he was familiar with his sensitivities and knew how to accommodate. Not only that, but the food was DELICIOUS. Anything you order melts in your mouth and is the best bbq you will ever have. We will definitely be back!!
We stopped in for the first time today. So glad we did. The brisket is insanely good. Perfect amount of smoke and oh so tender. The sausage and huge baked potato rounded out a perfect meal. Staff is so friendly and helpful. This may have been our first visitbut no way week or be our last. Worth the drive from Cripple Creek any day!!!
First time at Fat BBQ shack was amazing! Some of the best brisket and burnt ends I’ve ever had. Fries were great too. I’ll definitely be going back!
Although we arrived near the end of close, Cary welcomed us to his menu recommendations and invited us to wait inside where it was warmer. I loved the coziness and warmth of the shack (Loved the mural!) but when our brisket and burnt ends arrived, the meat melted in my mouth. Loaded that up with hot sauce, some side pickles and peppers, and had my okra and baked beans-I was set. Did I get any food pics? Not at all because I was too busy enjoying my fresh and smoky flavored meal. Please stop by and enjoy their hospitality and probably one of the best BBQ's in CO.
Good portion sizes, shareable plates and very tasty food. Owner is friendly and welcoming.
Do yourself a favor and stop by for some delicious BBQ!! We stopped by tonight and met the owner, Cary, who is so passionate about his BBQ and it shows! Everyone that we met were super cool and we can't wait to come down again and try the Banana pudding that will hopefully be on the menu. We look forward to seeing you again that's for sure!
