Texas bbq in Colorado!!! This place has winning barbecue! The owner actually is from Texas and we were surprised by how good the barbecue here was! I have not been a lover of ribs but high country changed it for me - so so juicy and tender, just melts in your mouth! My typical order is a brisket and the brisket here was superb as well! I’m prepared to drive from Denver just to have some good barbecue that I think Denver lacks. Highly recommend checking this place out! Price point is great and food is extraordinary! Love it!

John catered for our wedding on May 23rd. The Family owned, authentic Texas BBQ atmosphere of this restaurant made it appealing to us from the start. The FOOD though is mouth watering good! All our guests were very impressed! You haven’t tasted real Texas in Colorado until you’ve checked out this place.

We’ve had brisket, pulled pork and beans on three occasions and have found it consistently very good. Service is great. Onsite seating is limited. I view High Country BBQ as primarily take out. Look forward to a return visit.

My husband and I know good barbecue. We’re from Texas! The brisket we had was some of the best ever! Moist, fat on it for flavor and no need for a knife! Can’t wait to try the ribs. The owner said he cooks his brisket for 20 hrs. Highly recommend!!

Best ribs in Colorado ! A must stop for ribs and brisket. Best ribs I’ve ever had ! Will be coming back

This is the perfect Texas BBQ. Ribs are fall off the bone, smoky, great flavor. Brisket is nice and juicy. The chopped brisket had the perfect mix of tender pieces, fatty bits, and crunchy smoked bites. The pulled pork was also great and the BBQ sauce was perfect on everything. The cowboy beans were so good, cooked well, great spice. Really it was even better than I was prepared for. They came up to delivered to us at mt Princeton Hot Springs.

This is the ONLY place to go if you're looking for delicious, fall-off-the-bone BBQ. They make their own sauce (Mild & Spicy) which you can also purchase jars of. The pit master is from Texas, the son of a BBQ restaurant owner, and is incredibly friendly. The staff is fun and makes you feel right at home. We got a two plate combo (beef ribs, sliced brisket, coleslaw, and cowboy beans) with another 1/2lb of sliced brisket. I can't say enough good about the food. It's addicting, no joke. Hot, juicy, and flavourful. You can taste the love and passion they put into their entire menu. I promise you won't find smoked BBQ anywhere better in the central high rockies than High Country! They're truly authentic and absolutely unreal.

Visited here after a local pickleball tournament in Buena Vista. Absolutely amazing BBQ made fresh in the smokers next to the truck. Our sandwiches were packed with meat, way more than any other place I've been to in Colorado. I've never been to Texas so I don't know for sure, but this has got to be what they're raving about down there! Thanks! We'll come by again if we're ever in BV!
