Highside Brewing & BBQ - Fairplay — Restaurant in Fairplay

I tend not to leave bad reviews for food. I simply do not understand how this place has 4.8. All the people saying how good the BBQ is have clearly never had even decent BBQ. It barely qualified as smoked meat. The food was all mind-bogglingly bland. The brisket was grey and utterly flavorless. Like, use a rub or something...some salt at least. The Mac and cheese my daughter got was similarly unseasoned and generally flavorless. The al pastor tacos I got were not al pastor. It was flavorless pulled pork with a generic spicy sauce, that had no al pastor flavors. Absolutely nothing al pastor about it. My son's chicken legs were also flavorless and unseasoned.

Very highly recommended as a quick stop and as well as a place to grab some fresh cooked food as the menu was full of...

Average beer for Colorado and HORRIBLE BBQ. If you just go for a brew and pinball you will be fine. The BBQ is embarrassingly atrocious. We ordered ribs, pulled pork, and sausage. The pork was ok, the sausage was good, but the ribs were a joke. Ordered a half-slab that came uncut and now I know why, not even the kitchen could separate the bones surrounded in dry overcooked rib jerky. The ribs arrived and we saw that they were not separated so I got a knife and COULD NOT cut them apart. The “pitmaster” (laughably) leaves the flap on the spare rack for some reason and then possibly smokes them and they come out very similarly to an oven roasted rib rack. Amateur hour unfortunately……… Drink the beer and eat the mac n cheese, other than that, you’ve...
