Seasoned Swine BBQ

This place is great! I had the brisket & pulled pork sandwich, ribs, side of mac, beans, and banana pudding. Highly recommend trying whatever this place has to offer. Out of everything the ribs were probably my favorite...succulent, tender, well spiced and a little bit of a crunchy exterior offering up some texture variety. I will be telling others about this spot, and travelling from downtown Denver back to this place more in the future!

This place is a complete hidden gem! The brisket was perfect! Best beans I’ve had in a long time and yummy green Chile Mac!! Corn bread was also good (could use some honey on the table to pair with it! )

Seasoned Swine BBQ: Disappointing Group Order Experience I placed an order the night before for an 11 AM pickup—pulled pork for six with mac & cheese. The mac & cheese was okay and came in a good portion, but the rest of the meal didn’t meet expectations. The order was supposed to include three pounds of pork, BBQ sauce, onions, and pickles. What we received was pork with the pickles and onions mixed into the same container. I had to separate them myself, and even then, there were only four pickles and a small amount of onions—not nearly enough for six people. We also only got two containers of BBQ sauce. Making the sandwiches wasn’t hard, but having to divide such limited ingredients between everyone felt awkward and frustrating. The pork itself seemed barely seasoned—more like a sprinkle on top than a proper rub or marinade. Despite ordering ahead, we still had to wait 30 minutes past our scheduled pickup time. For a place that promotes bold flavors and smooth service, this experience felt rushed and disappointing.

Ordered the full rack of ribs, burnt ends, spicy avocado slaw, and sweet potato rolls. The ribs are really tender and on the sweeter side. The burnt ends are still pretty tender which are some of my favorite. The avocado slaw is a really good pairing with the sweeter ribs. I love a good vinegar based slaw rather than mayo. The sweet potato rolls were a little dry this time around. The time before, it was more like a Hawaiian roll and was delicious. This our second time here and the service is always so great. Although we sat outside, they came to check on us multiple times. Would absolutely come back for my BBQ fix.

They were out of chicken and turkey tonight. That happens at BBQ places so I try not to hold it against anyone. Their burnt ends were great. The brisket was ok. I like a really moist brisket and this had good flavor but wasn't as moist as I like. The sides were overpriced for what you get. The highlight for me was the cherry chipotle sauce. It isn't on the table but they brought a small amount to our table. That sauce was amazing. All around good but wouldn't be my first pick for BBQ in the Metro.

🌟Top Rated Reviewer🌟 Bonafide BBQ! I was visiting from Birmingham, which knows it's barbecue. This spot will not disappoint. They have a new Chipotle sauce🌶️ that's super tasty if you like a little spice. There's also 2 good classic sauces- Carolina-style mustard base and sweet brown Texas sauce. We got a combo with burnt ends 🥩, pulled chicken 🍗, ribs, collard greens, green chili mac & and cheese, and potato salad. All of the meets were seasoned and cooked to perfection. The mac & cheese was a show stopper! 🧑‍🍳 Staff were super friendly and attentive! This place has everything you need for getting great BBQ without lighting your grill. ❤️👍 if helpful, thanks! 🙏

Loving this place so much since I moved back home from the Bay Area! They have locally sourced meat, which is really important to me and the cherry sauce is out of this world! If you are sensitive to the acidity in tomato's, THIS is your option! And even if you aren't, it's simply a delicious cherry Chipotle! Not to mention? The wait staff is always sweet and welcoming. Not to mention, Jacob, the owner, is kind and cares about every customer who enters!

Seasoned Swine catered our wedding reception and did an amazing job. The staff brought professionalism and good vibes to our party and the food was to die for. We had a whole pig roast (which was, of course, a showstopper) as well as several other dishes (the green chili mac being a highlight), and everything was beautiful and our guests were quite pleased!

Pulled pork and ribs were amazing!! So flavorful and the bbq sauces !!! Couldn't go wrong with any of them! Service was excellent and the young man that took our order was very helpful!!

If you're looking for some of the best BBQ around, this place is a must-visit. The owner, Jacob, was an absolute pleasure to talk to--his passion for what he does really shines through. He brings his own "Iowa BBQ style" that sets this spot apart. The food was outstanding. What I really appreciated was that the BBQ wasn't over-smoked--you could actually taste the quality of the meat itself, with the smoke adding just the right touch of flavor. Every bite was tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Great food, welcoming atmosphere, and a dedicated owner--this is the kind of BBQ spot you'll want to keep coming back to. I know I'll be stopping by every time I'm in town from California!

This came highly recommended by someone in our group. We arrived at opening time, pretty big group. We were quickly seated by the wonderfully friendly staff. I had the burnt ends with collard greens, baked beans and corn bread. I have had a lot of BBQ. I want to go back for dinner. And lunch again! Probably the best I've had in the metro area. The collard greens were cooked perfectly and for a second, thought I was back in the south. The cherry chipotle BBQ sauce was my favorite along with the Carolina mustard sauce. Super impressed. I asked about buying the sauce and was told it is in progress, which was good to hear. Even the Texas guy in our group loved it! Everyone's food came out quickly and orders were accurate. (Sometimes a challenge when a big group shows up right at opening, but it was a walk in the park for this crew.) Outstanding job to you all, I can't wait to come back!

Fantastic! We had the "Swinoceros."A quarter pound each of Prime Brisket, Burnt Ends, Pulled Pork, Pulled Chicken, and Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage, plus three Candied Ribs. The candied ribs were amazing! This also comes with three sides. We had the cherry smoked beans, creamy potato salad and the green chili mac n cheese plus 3 sweet Potato Rolls. The leftovers were amazing the next day. So glad we chose this option! You will want to try everything!

Chicken sandwich was amazing barbecue sauce paired great with it and the og Mac is delicious, I loved the service very welcoming, also the music they played was pretty cool and food was to die for again 10/10 would recommend.

Oh. My. Goodness. This was delicious. Was looking for a place for late lunch after hanging in Golden on a Saturday morning and bbq sounded good. My partner and I shared a platter with brisket, burnt ends, cornbread, spicy slaw, and green chile mac and cheese. They have their own custom sauces too and it tied everything together. All the flavors were amazing and we are definitely coming back to try the sausages and everything else. My partner and I were pretty full after sharing this meal. We'll have to bring friends next time so we can try more together! Also loved the view from the restaurant and the outdoor balcony with a view. Probably a great sunset dinner spot honestly.

Food was very delicious! We had that huge sampler platter of brisket, chicken, burnt ends, ribs, pulled pork and sausage with 2 sides and bread for the four of us. Mac and cheese, slaw and the beans all delicious. Service is great; you order up front and get a number that sits on your table and they bring you your food. Margarita was ok. Ambiance is simple and place was pretty full!

On a lovely fall day, we wanted some bbq and decided to check out this wonderful find on W. Colfax in Golden. They have a nice patio, though it was a bit windy so we enjoyed our food inside. It's very casual, but comfortable. We ordered the Meathead to share, along with four ribs (you can order individually). We chose the beans and potato salad as our sides. All of it was very very tasty. The meat in the sandwich (prime brisket and pulled pork) was fantastic. The sauces were up to the task as well -- very tasty. We actually ordered the ribs as an afterthought after talking briefly with another customer about their ribs -- and we didn't have to order a whole rack. I'm so glad we did because they were equally as good. The staff was very helpful in all our decision-making. Look forward to a revisit soon!

9/6/24 My husband and I along with our large group of friends came here for lunch. We were able to order and get seated quickly. Seasoned Swine is a hidden gem for quick and delicious BBQ! We ordered the brisket nachos, burnt ends, spicy slaw, and banana pudding, and everything was fantastic. The brisket nachos were loaded with so much flavor, and the burnt ends were perfectly tender. The spicy slaw was a bit too hot for us, but it was a fun twist on the usual coleslaw. The real star of our lunch was most definitely The banana pudding--absolutely a must-try! The laid-back ambiance is perfect for relaxing, with plenty of room for larger groups. We'll definitely be back when in Colorado next time.

Five stars do not do this place justice. Colorado's Crown King of Smoked Meats is a better fit. Add a championship belt, and you have it. If you're thinking about BBQ and reading this right now, the best thing you can do is just stop, and go try it. It's like prioritizing children, but my favorites are the ribs, burnt ends, and macaroni and cheese. However, it is all great. What it is you like, they nail it. And if you're the bold type, ask for extra "Swine Candy." Parking is great. The restaurant is always immaculate. And the staff is second to none. You get your food fast, and it is always right. Why are you still reading?!! Go now! :-D

Delicious food, especially the ribs. Friendly staff & clean restaurant. Highly recommend.

Was on vacation in Colorado and tried this. I'm from Texas and I can say the bbq gave me southern taste. Definitely would try it again.

Recently had an opportunity to try Seasoned Swine in Golden. Be aware, location is not ADA friendly. We decided to try the Swinoceros because we wanted to get an idea for their bbq options. This comes with multiple meat options; brisket, burnt ends, ribs, pulled chicken, pulled pork and sausage. We enjoyed the burnt ends, pulled pork the most. Sausage was good but more a breakfast sausage flavor. The brisket was a bit dry, chicken was good, ribs fell off the bone but not as big of a a fan of candied ribs. Sweet potato rolls were enjoyable. Green chili Mac, beans delicious and vinegar coleslaw was nice. They have a really great patio to sit at and everyone there was very nice. Sauces were good, both red and gold available. Overall an enjoyable experience and we'd come back for a few of those items for sure!

Excellent barbeque restaurant! Ribs were excellent. Meat fell off the bone and seasoned perfectly. The ColoBama sandwich (chicken with green chili queso sauce) was incredible. All of the staff are very friendly.

Drinks top notch the food was great. We had the burnt ends and the pulled pork and the green chili. Mac really good. Several people came by to ask how everything was cool atmosphere. The owner came by and made sure everything was good. We really appreciated that. I would've posted a picture, but we ate everything. Lol!!

It was soooo casual yet very delicious!! The food was brought out quickly and the staff were friendly. My burnt ends were perfect: tender. Margarita on the rocks was tasty. I'd definitely come back. Visiting from Texas and I approve! Thank you!! Blessings

We ordered the swinasorous, allowing us to try most of the menu. Quantity wise, it was perfect for our family of four. The ribs were our favorite, some kind of caramelized magic sauce. Brisket was also very good. Mac-n-cheese is very creamy, but just average. Service was very quick and friendly.

Amazing pork sandwich. Terrific friendly service. I highly recommend. Upstairs overlooking the road is not so good a view but if you turn around you might find a nicer view behind the counter.

This might classify as "BBQ" in Colorado, but if you're looking for genuine slow smoked BBQ, this isn't your place. The staff were friendly, and the pricing wasn't bad, but the "pulled pork" sandwich had the consistency of a grilled chicken breast. It was dry, and you couldn't taste much flavor. I got more smoke flavor from the bean than the meat itself. You'll need to utilize the bottle of bbq sauce on the table to keep your mouth moist when eating, but you'll get a surprisingly decent flavor from that, so kudos there. Overall, the place was clean and the people were kind, but as an out-of-towner from NC, don't expect true BBQ here.

Stopped by this spot off the highway in Golden after a day of hiking. Was not crowded and had a decent small parking lot. Ordered the Diablo sandwich and a small side of OG Mac. The staff was nice and the place was clean but the BBQ and Mac itself was just ok. They had three sauces available including their new cherry chipotle sauce.

Disappointing despite the positive reviews. My sons and I tried their sample plate and here are our ratings (we all agreed that pretty much every dish was under seasoned). Pulled pork and sausage link 7/10 best things we tried. But still needed sauce. Decent sauce. Burt Ends 6/10 just ok. Chicken 6/10 just ok. Ribs 5/10 good texture but again flavor just ok. Brisket 3/10 (my one son wanted a zero). Admittedly this is our favorite Bar-B-Q. Theirs was just bad. It tasted like an under seasoned crock pot roast but way drier. Not a hint of smoke flavor or salt or pepper. Not much going on at all. I don't know if we got a bad batch but this was some of the worst brisket we've tried in CO. For sides we had the collards, spicy coleslaw, and green chili Mac. Not a winner in the bunch. Again just a disappointing experience.

Went on father's day. Place was packed and I have never been here before. I was truly amazed. Best BBQ since I had it in Tennessee. Hats off to you folks. Food is the best. Setting was right on with great music.

Honestly disappointed it was our 1st time coming here after seeing a tiktok video and reading through reviews about how good the food is but honestly that wasn't the case for us at all today because when we received our food it was not hot or warm at all!! Every single meat was dry AF! Side dishes cold Almost as if they just didn't care! We drove from over an 1hr 30 min for a birthday & honestly wouldn't go back!!

First time in, and won't be our last! If your looking for some great BBQ and drinks, this is the place! Nice dining area inside or out, looks like thy have live music at night time, the gal behind the counter was fantastic! She suggested the chicken, pork, with chili sauce sandwich- this did not disappoint! This place has the best and I mean the BEST beans! You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table, nice set up! We also had a raspberry mule and raspberry bourbon drink - fantastic!!

I wanted to love this place but have to admit, I was disappointed. Firstly, the positives: - Staff was great, friendly, and seemed knowledgeable. - - They offered a small sauce cup of a cherry bourbon BBQ sauce with a hint of kick - what was the best thing we had the entire meal. The needs improvements: - the restaurant entrance was clear but you needed to walk up steps to get to the dining space. Not sure how anyone with a disability would be able to come here. If you do need an ADA entrance, be sure to call and make sure they can accommodate. - at the top of the steps, there is the menu. That is great, gives you a chance to figure out what to order before getting to the register. The bad part though is that is the ONLY menu I saw. So we decided but then had to keep walking back to the menu to order. Weird and not time efficient. - I think the kitchen must be downstairs because our food was brought by someone who came in an outside door. Sadly, it was a chilly day and our food was lukewarm when we got it. Maybe they could install a dumb waiter to keep food inside but get it upstairs to the patrons. - the food was just ok. Not bad, but not good enough to return or mention to a friend. The potato salad had very good flavor but was very "wet," it was almost soupy! The Boss Sandwich was bordering on flavorless (we were thinking it would be spicy!). The best thing I had was the Candied Rib that I put the Spicy Cherry Bourbon BBQ sauce on. My husband did like the Carolina style mustard BBQ sauce. - dining tables. We were a party of two and the only two tops were high tables, which we avoid. So we were forced to sit at a table for six people. Fortunately we were there at a non-busy time so I didn't feel too bad about it. A lot of the items above are relatively simple fixes, and this spot definitely has potential!

Great quality food here for a fair price, their brisket for 1/2 pound was only 4 slices and you get more for your buck ordering the quarter pound of chicken. Overall though great food & was not crazy expensive either as we paid $33 for everything pictured to include the 8oz of Mac & cheese and beans. Would come back again! Is close to a lot of other cool stuff as well. Very clean inside & their bathrooms are right near you as well. There is outdoor seating & the service was fast & friendly.

This place gets busy at lunch time, so be warned! I had the 1/4 pound Burnt Ends and they were great. Potato Salad was very good. Establishment was clean and I would definitely go back when wanting a BBQ fix.

Great ribs and wings. Mac and cheese and collards are amazing too. Haven't had a bad thing from this place. It's all delicious.

Food is pretty good, but very expensive. I can get the same thing at Bennet's for half the price.

My husband & I thought we'd try out the restaurant, so we ordered takeout. After 45 minutes of waiting (we'd been told by the sweaty sever that it wouldn't take long) and asking 3 times about our order, we were finally told that they'd cleared our order from the system because another customer whose name was similar to mine had gotten what she ordered & which ever genius saw that on their computer thought our order was connected to hers somehow! No apology, nothing comped on the order until after the third time we asked about the order. We were offered a free drink. Lol! Not going back to that disorganized mess! No one working there even wondered why my husband & I were sitting at a table with no food or drinks in front of us for nearly an hour! I do not recommend this restaurant unless you don't mind waiting until the 2nd coming for your order to arrive!

Coming from Texas home of bbq we were on a hike and my daughter said she wanted bbq I told her that we don't get BBQ outside of Texas or anywhere close to Western USA but I ate my own words when I found this gem This is one of the best BBQ places in all of America. If you haven't been here you are missing out on quality BBQ

Our party of 6 ordered this share platter and still had leftovers for under $90, with a tip! We're from Texas so we're kinda (or really) BBQ snobs and this food exceeded our expectations. We loved the atmosphere and the staff were very friendly.

Just had to hop on here and say what a great experience we had here. The Swinoceros fed all 6 of us with a few left overs. Amazing taste! Friendly service!! I can only imagine what the patio experience in the evening would be here!!

Finally tried this place, it's near us and we remember when this upstairs location was a verrry divey bar. It's fairly roomy inside, maybe 15? small to medium tables, 8 bar seats or so, and then two very large decks with lots of seating that will be great in warm weather. Sufficient parking. You order and pay for your food as you enter so be ready. We did 1/2 rack 'candied' ribs $18, 1/4lb chicken $6.00, side slaw and side beans $3.25 each. Not very cold canned beers $6.00 each. Decent liquor selection, some very nice bourbons! We'd just had take-out from Rib City the week before in Arvada and we agree, their ribs are maybe a bit tastier but it's really a tie. Both serve nice fat meaty juicy fall off the bone ribs, I'd maybe give Swine the edge on their delicious sauces though. The 1/4 BBQ chicken was delicious, all meat perfectly cooked with a tasty skin, some of their yummy pickle slices included. I'd have that again as well. Where Swine fails is the sides, neither the slaw nor beans were good enough to even want to finish them. The slaw was cut a bit too thick for my taste, I like it closer to shredded, and it was in nothing but vinegar from what I could tell. The beans, not much better than canned BBQ beans really. Rib City on the other hand, wow, slaw is in a delicious vinegar/very light mayo/horseradish dressing, cut finer, and their sliced green beans were great, with a woodsy smokey flavor, true southern food. I gobbled them up. It's good enough to go again for the ribs, the friendly servers and a nice open space with big windows and decks, and I wish them well. We'll pick up sides at the grocery store.

I love the que at this place. Ribs and mac n cheese are my favorites. Great view of the foothills. Service is fast as it can get for a bbq place.

Friendly service. Fun atmosphere. Had the brisket. Cherry chipotle sauce delicious. Liked the potato salad more than Mac n cheese but both delicious

What a fun place and the BBQ is delicious. I'd been hearing about Seasoned Swine and how good it is, so I had to try it for myself. I climbed the stairs to find a small but adequate dining area and the menu. It was too cold to sit out on the balcony which begs for a sunny day. So many tasty things to try, I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw and a brownie for dessert. My sandwich was perfect, not dry, not covered in so much sauce one can't enjoy the meat... but a tangy, semi sweet, juicy, eat every bit of it pulled pork sandwich that sated my BBQ craving. The brownie goes without saying and was the perfect ending to my lunch. Looks like they have daily specials and there was a little stage set up in the corner, so I'm guessing they have live music from time to time. What a great addition to the neighborhood.

FANTASTIC burnt ends, amazing collard greens and the Chipotle Cherry BBQ sauce...::to die for. Great BBQ atmosphere, fast service, friendly staff and the food. I haven't had greens this good outside of North Carolina. So delicious, the burnt ends are perfect both in taste and texture. Glad beyond words to have come in today.!

We were looking for a quick lunch. The place is on the second floor of a building and seemed sort of suspect. When we walked in, we knew we were in the right place. The brisket melted like butter and tasted wonderful. I didn't have any thing to drink but water, but the whiskey collection looked absolutely stunning. Definitely go here.

I brought my mom here, from the east coast. She likes bbq, but never had some so good. The owner came and talked to us, and was a true delight. And that brisket, sheeeshhhhh! So good, appropriately priced and definitely worth the trip. I'll definitely be back for the wing Wednesdays!

We ordered takeout. Food is amazing. We had to order early to make sure we got everything and we did. We also had the banana pudding yummy. Next time we should eat at the restaurant. Highly recommend. Would love to eat here again.

Outstanding barbecue. I have never had a bad piece of meat. The interior is nothing fancy, but they do have blues music in the background and occasionally live music. Service is good. It's a walk up to order, you take your seat, and they bring you your grub.

Order up front, delivered our meal quickly and eaten ravenously! Guess we were hungry. Loved the El Diablo with a side of beans; I only had an empty tray left. Hubby got the 1/2 sliced brisket - ate the whole thing. Just delicious Mac & cheese was scrumptious. When in the area we will be back.

Being from Texas we were a little worried about trying barbecue but man it was delicious!!! Even the sides were amazing! I would definitely recommend this place!

Loved the food, maybe the best burnt ends I've ever had. Music felt very authentic to a good BBQ joint. The service was exceptionally good, servers were very attentive and had smiles on their faces.

This place is full of amazing barbecue. I am a huge Texas barbecue fan and this is the one place I have found in the area that can deliver the briskets amazing. They're burnt ends are even better.

Awesome! We live just north of Golden and have never been here. This is now a go-to for sure! The food was fantastic and we were helped through all of our awesome choices from Jason who helped us with some fantastic bourbon and barbecue selections! Even explained a few things to us and we are definitely coming back for sure!

Service is awesome. Best burnt ends!!! Great potion sizes for the . Brisket is prime . Great place to pull into to avoid I 70 parking lot going up the

The BBQ/meats were good, but the price is ridiculous for the portions they gave (see photo; sausages were in a different box as we ordered these as an add on). We paid $60 for these small portions.
