Reviews for Russell's Smokehouse in Denver, CO
Inspired BBQ & craft cocktails star at chef Frank Bonanno's Southern-Gothic underground haunt.
We planned a 35 person corporate dinner party at Russell’s Smokehouse for guests attending a conference in Denver. They went... above and beyond to accommodate all of our needs from extra guests to dietary restrictions- they handled it all with ease! Wewere in awe at the service and incredible food. Alice and “Captain” are incredible and I am so grateful! I HIGHLY recommendthem for any occasion but especially for the OUTSTANDING private room service. You will not be disappointed! Read more
Actually stopped in prior to when they opened and spent about 30-45 minutes talking to Shane about bbq and bourbon. Being from... the south, bbq is kinda of sacred and a bit of a religion in itself. BBQ and bourbon are a passion of my brother in law andmyself. The food here is absolutely amazing!!! From the bacon cheese curds, to the brisket and pastrami!! Not real big on mixeddrinks but my brother in law both had the eat a peach drink as recommended by Shane. Enjoyed it so much we decided to eat anddrink there twice in our 4 day stay… The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and make for a great experience!!! Didn’tget her name but the hostess with the ink is a fricken fireball!!! Overall this was an amazing experience all the way around!!!And a couple of old country rednecks enjoyed it so much we twice in four days!!!! Thank y’all so much!!! Can’t wait to comeback!!! Shane and that entire crew will be our first stop!!! Read more
I have been for a business dinner and a birthday, both times were phenomenal. Tonight our server was Taylor, she made us feel... very special for our birthday dinner and was super sweet and attentive the whole time. You really can’t go wrong here, thebrisket is so juicy and really doesn’t need sauce but they do have 3 kinds. The sausage plate is incredible, the pickles aremade in house! Making reservations is easy, if you call the number and dial for reservations you get a real person. you do haveto put down a card number in case of no show, $10 a head, when you go, it’s taken off the bill or you can ask it go back inthe card.

Easy spot for BBQ and a Bourbon drink. The st Louis ribs come in huge amounts. Go half rack unless you are ready to unbutton ... the jeans. Staff is active and engaged. Chat with Shane at the bar, nice guy from TX. The hostess heard me ask about next doorand ask me to come check out Green Russels. That’s an entirely different adventure. Drinks are good. The decor is woodsywith large plank floors and painted walls. An homage to the dark Rendezvous Memphis. . Don’t skip desert - peach cobbler. Noice cream. Keep it sweet bourbons and delish. Read more
I honestly love this place. It is a bit pricy, like $27 for a half rack of ribs pricey. But the food is delicious, the staff is... awesome, 22% gratuity is already included in the bill. There is a dining area and a cocktail lounge, both of which you can eatand drink in, just depends on the vibe you're looking for! Homemade biscuits and pie. The food is very flavorful.

This is by far the best BBQ I have eaten. I had the brisket and it was fork tender and absolutely amazing! No need for the sauce... either, that's how great it was. Paired with the apple coleslaw, which was also amazing, and the baked beans. I was not pleasedwith the beans but that is minimal. The decor is fabulous and the staff is dressed to match. An absolute must stop for BBQlovers and for folks who will soon become lovers after this stop! Read more
Fantastic food and an amazing atmosphere. It is a tragedy that they will be closing their doors at the end of the year. Get... reservations now while you still can! Read more
