Happy National BBQ Day! Yelp has released a list of the “Top 100 BBQ Spots in the U.S.,” and of course Colorado has a few on the list. According to Yelp, to qualify for the list the restaurant must have a certain amount of reviews and engagement with keywords like “barbecue” listed in the review, and the restaurant must pass a health review.

29. Post Oak Barbecue, Denver, Colorado

87. Georgia Boys BBQ, Longmont, Colorado

88. GQue Championship BBQ, Westminster, Colorado

The number one BBQ spot was Wright’s BBQ in Jonesboro, Arkansas.
