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.

88. GQue Championship BBQ, Westminster, Colorado

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