    Rolling up to Slow Groovin, you’re immediately greeted by the delicious smell of their smoker parked right out in front of the restaurant. We ended up eating here twice during our stay, allowing us to get a good taste of the menu. We arrived Thursday, and it’s definitely very busy during the weekend, all day long. As far as seating- they have plentiful outdoor seating, with a smaller indoor area. It has a rustic charm to it, with some modern touches. There was even live music on Friday night, and they have a stage built in. As far as the food - they have traditional BBQ fare. For starters, we sampled the burnt ends, and the jalapeño poppers. The burnt ends were the winner by far, and come in a decent sized cup portion that we both shared together. Excellent flavor! The poppers were ok- the bacon wrapping the jalapeños was burnt and detracted from the taste - I would’ve recommended they bake it in the oven vs a grill. For the main dish- we both shared a double meat plater, which comes with the perfect amount of food for 2, and comes with 3 sides. Between both trips, we tried the Brisket, Half Chicken, Ribs, and Pulled Pork. I’m picky with my BBQ, making it myself and obviously it’s best completely fresh, which is impossible to do for a restaurant to pull off based on a 12 hour cook time. However, all 4 were better than expected considering, and I was pleasantly surprised. The half chicken was probably our favorite. For sides- we tried the cornbread, skillet corn, and fries, which we liked. Cornbread was easily the favorite, and better than others with some mild chipotle spices. Our Server Laura was very friendly and accommodating, as we had a lot of questions, and took the time to make us feel welcomed. Overall, reasonably priced, and a solid choice if you’re in the area. Since Slow Groovin is the only restaurant in Marble, they could probably get by with only mediocre food, but we appreciate that they put out good service, ambiance, and food. We’ll definitely be back!

    We have lived on the Western Slope since 2015 and never made the drive to Slow Groovin’. Then covid hits and backs us off a spell. Finally, today we made it. Beautiful drive over McClure pass. Leaves just beginning to turn. Amazing setting in the Marble Valley with fabulous views in every direction. Less than 20 minute wait, even as busy as they were. We ordered two family plates with all the meat except the salmon. Beans and coleslaw. Prior to the meal we had the Hillbilly Nachos and some Burnt Ends. Damn fine meal. Friendly and attentive service. Well worth the drive. We’ll be back again before winter closing for sure. Sorry it took us this long.

    Slow Groovn BBQ offers a stunning view with mountains and greenery, making it a perfect spot for both outdoor and indoor seating. We particularly enjoyed the scenic mountains while savoring our drinks, with the spicy margarita being a personal favorite. The okra fry left us amazed, and the fried corn and wings were also delectable. However, the twisted potato fries and chicken nachos were somewhat disappointing and didn't quite meet expectations. The ambiance of the place is enhanced by colorful flowers, adding to the overall pleasant experience. The barbecue-style meat was well-cooked and delicious. If you're visiting Beaver Lake, Slow Groovn BBQ is definitely a must-try, offering a delightful combination of good food and beautiful surroundings.

    Simply wonderful. Chloe, Sam and the rest of the staff were all smiles from the minute that I walked up the front steps. Their service was as excellent as the BBQ! I can't wait to visit again!

    I really enjoyed my lunch here. The salad with homemade Bleu cheese dressing was incredible, and the brisket platter had great portions of meat and coleslaw. The beans were nice with a kick. Zach was my server and he was very friendly and efficient, even with one arm in a sling! This place is worth stopping into.

    A mandatory stop for anyone visiting the region. This restaurant has the best barbecue I've ever tasted! The place is very interesting, in the middle of the forest, with a rustic and welcoming atmosphere. Despite not taking reservations, Ryan was helpful in being able to accommodate a group of almost 30 people during the holidays. thank you very much!

    The food is amazing. I have loved everything I have ordered (except for the water). Best Mac and cheese I have had in a long time. The Megatron was to die for.

    Great barbecue! Many options. Delicious smells from the very large roasting oven. Love the ambiance and the outdoor setting in Marble, Colorado.
