Lake George Fat BBQ Shack & Breakfast Diner

"My boyfriend and I LOVED this place. He's from Texas, too, so he's a tough BBQ critic! The brisket was divine. The service was super friendly and felt local. I will absolutely stop again if I'm near Lake George."

"What a fun find. We spent most of the day in Manitou Springs and were headed to Dillon, and guess what...there's not a lot out there. The bbq was very good with very little fat and good flavor. Good pickles, too. It's a tiny little place, but there is outdoor seating as well. We were stuffed when we left on pitmaster, pulled pork, okra and baked beans, which seemed just a smidge sweet but i couldn't figure out why. The decor was a little hodge hodge. Maybe a work in progress. I loved the rough wood molding. Nice staff."

"Best BBQ of all of Colorado if you haven't yet take the drive to Lake George and try it out! You won't regret it! I love everything I have tried brisket, burnt ends, the macaroni and cheese is my favorite, the desserts are to die for!"

"I know BBQ and this is some of the best I've ever had. This is coming from a Texan! This place has everything you could want in a fabulous meal. The burnt ends and pulled pork were to die for....and the peach cobbler was divine."

"Best BBQ in Colorado! Worth the wait. Mango Peach bourbon brisket burger (with extra brisket) is probably the best BBQ sandwich I have had in my lifetime"

"I left Colorado springs at 7am on my way to Aspen and decided to drop by for some takeaway. I took a brisket sandwich, another burnt end sandwich and a potato salad. Ate them throughout the day with the great views of Colorado, instead of the expensive stuff around Aspen and this made my day. Meat was amazing, smoky, burnt the exact amount and tasty. Buns and salad were great. And everything was packed perfectly to keep fresh and neat. It's a shame I am not going back the same way :)"

"My friend and I were recommended this bbq spot by an artist we spoke to in Woodland Park, who couldn't stop raving about their food. We decided to give it a go and I'm SO glad we did! The location was super easy to get to - right off the highway, and the parking was great. I got the pulled pork sandwich with a side of potato salad, and it was truly some of the best bbq I've ever had. My friend got the pulled pork as well, with a side of coleslaw and a cornbread. Both were delicious! The owner, Cary, came outside to ask how we were enjoying our food, and we ended up having a 5-10 minute conversation with him about how he came into the business and all the locations and endeavors they've explored in the past. He was such a fun person to meet and talk to, and such a hospitable guy! Absolutely cannot recommend Fat BBQ enough, and I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area! Thanks, Cary!"
