Rolling Smoke BBQ has quietly turned a longtime Wheat Ridge storefront into a full-on smokehouse on 38th Avenue, serving brisket, ribs, and a rotating lineup of live music. The new brick-and-mortar spot keeps a neighborhood vibe while making room for vegetarian and vegan plates alongside its smoked meats, and early diners are already sliding it onto their Friday happy-hour rotation.
The Wheat Ridge outpost sits at 7100 W. 38th Ave and is open seven days a week, with early reports estimating that roughly 25 percent of its business so far has been to-go. The menu ranges from classic smoked brisket and ribs to plant-forward plates such as portobello mushrooms, and the team plans to keep the front garage door rolled up during business hours so the building reads as open from the street, as reported by the Neighborhood Gazette.
From Food Truck To Wheat Ridge Smokehouse
Rolling Smoke started as a food truck and has since grown into multiple storefronts across the Denver metro area under owner Terry Walsh. Walsh bought the standalone building that previously housed Right Coast Pizza and had been eyeing a Wheat Ridge expansion for several years before this opening, with the purchase and growth plans covered by BizWest.
