Slow Groovin BBQ

We just relocated and have heard from our peers/locals that this BBQ spot is the place to be. I must admit that it was pretty tasty. We were able to try a few items on the menu that were all great and had a perfect crisp. Mac n cheese with pulled pork was good, not as cheesy as I expected, but willing to try the regular man n cheese next time. Ribs were great, super tender and perfect seasoning. French fries were nice and crisp along with the wings and sausage. One of the things that stood out the most was Gracie, our server. From the minute she came to our table to the very end. She was super welcoming, friendly and attentive. Not an experience we've encountered at other restaurants in Glenwood Springs, Redstone and Carbondale. Thanks again, Gracie. = )

We were driving home from beaver Lake and went to this BBQ Place in marble The Food Was AMAZING The
Waiters were really nice! We sat outside and enjoyed the view while we ate our food. I recommend coming here.

This place is hands down the best bbq I've ever had and who would have guessed it would be in little Marble Colorado. You pull up to this place and they have the smoker right in front so you get a good whiff of the smoke!

My entire party was gluten free and they knew exactly what accommodations needed to be made to make it work. There was still a good selection of sides which can be pretty limited at bbq places that like to put hidden gluten into things.

We ordered the meat platter with salmon, brisket and ribs. The salmon was the star of the show - try it for sure! Brisket was best restaurant brisket I've ever had, and the ribs were above average.

We also got drinks which were good compliments to the food and priced appropriately. The Bloody Mary also came with a big chunk of bacon that was amazing.

When I am back in the valley I plan on making this a regular stop. 5/5

I don't know if I have different standards for BBQ having lived in the South and also having experienced excellent styles of BBQ around the country from West Texas to NC to Kansas City, etc... but the high reviews of this place have me confused.

First of all, let me say that the place smells amazing. You walk in and start to salivate from the aromas. They were understaffed the day I went, so the wait was long to get seated, the wait was long to get a drink, the food took forever to get to me, etc. It was understandable and I had patience for the staff, but they definitely were more attentive to the locals and spent time socializing with familiar faces rather than bustling. I would've ordered another beer if the bartender had been a bit more cognizant of us non-locals. Service was friendly though.

I got a brisket sandwich with a garden salad, which is $20 before any tax or tip. The bread was dry. I am used to thick juicy slices of brisket. They served their brisket super thin, shaved thinner than lunch meat and then cooked so that it is dry and crunchy. It was offensive to me that they would do that to a brisket- my favorite meat in the world. Not even adding bbq sauce to it could give it any moisture. The sauce options were okay but none were that great. Bread to meat ratio was definitely off. It could've used more meat or less bread (preferably more meat given the price and the portion).

When I first got there and was waiting in line, some dude told these tourists "this is the best bbq you'll ever have and I should know- I am from Chicago and we have some of the best bbq in the country." In hindsight, maybe that was a sign because Chicago is not even close to having amazing bbq.

If you're in Marble, this is basically your only food option. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing and it would be better if I didn't get the brisket.

I saw a TikTok about this place... and we were dying to try. It is INCREDIBLE. In the middle of Marble - with zero cell phone service - you find the best "hidden" gem - Slow Groovin BBQ. The food was next level - I had the mac and cheese for multiple meals even after the restaurant. But the BBQ - it is truly amazing. So unexpected but brilliant spot with great service.

People always ask me where is the best bbq spot in colorado and this place always pops in my head. It is out of the way unless you're visiting crystal mill but it's the best reward after a long bumpy hike. I love their corn bread and dream about it often. The meats are smoked to perfection and they just fall right off and is so tender and juicy. They have drinks but I usually get the root beer since it's such a crispy refreshing drink after a day in the sun. It does get busy so but worth the wait.

We finished 6 hours of epic snowboarding on Aspen Snowmass and was ready to eat some good, good food. We naturally gravitate to the highest calorie intake meal we can take in to replenish after an active day. We started off the meal with THE BEST smoked chickens wings we ever did have. Our server was so fun and gave us some great recommendations and gave us tidbits on our selections. Their wings are marinated in a secret sauce (we know the sauce and won't ever tell) they are smoked and then fried to order and tossed in homemade Buffalo sauce that isn't like your regular Buffalo sauce. It's got hints of tart and sweet and spicy. Drooling good! We shared the platter with ribs and pulled pork and because that wasn't enough food, we also had the pulled pork sandwich.

Aspen has the reputation that the restaurants are super expensive but the food is worth it. We were pleasantly surprised because Slow Groovin BBQ was not only one of the best BBQs we've had but their pricing was very fair. The ambiance was a chill vibe with TVs in the bars to watch sports (if you are into that) and the service was so friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Loved our experience and will definitely return on our next trip!

We started with the atomic buffalo turds and pulled pork nacho's. Marble is a really special town and this spot is a great destination. They've got lots of great local beers. I enjoyed a lemon grass spiked kombucha.

This place is worth the stop for many reasons. Sure, it is the best BBQ in a town with one BBQ joint, but making this a destination will also take you on a journey you won't soon forget. On your way here, you will see some of the most beautiful CO scenery, and experience a small mountain town. Plus, you'll get great food at the end. Win win!!

Was in the area for work and had someone suggest this place to me and it definitely lived up to the hype. No doubt the best bbq I've tried in Colorado!! Giant portions, great for sharing. The pulled pork and ribs were my favorite but I'd eat it all again, it was all really delicious. We chose okra and baked beans as sides - I love that they use a variety of beans. And as a southern, the okra was done perfectly!
Worth the detour if you're around!
