Overall Rating and is it worth a visit: 8.75/10 and Yes. A small spot in the tiny town of Berthoud, just south of Fort Collins. Walking up, there was not a ton of smoke in the air, but it was also 30-40 mile per hour wind gusts, so this wasn’t surprising. Upon entering, the first thing I noticed was that they had a very friendly staff, and it seemed to be a local gathering spot for playing Golden Tee and starting the weekend early, based on the patrons I saw. As a heads up, it’s more of a bar/restaurant feel than a traditional/designed BBQ joint for the interior, but don’t let that stop you from heading in and placing an order. That said, I was very happy that I saw some massive offset smokers out back, so I was still encouraged that I was about to get some good smoked meats that matched the high reviews and recommendations they’ve received. Similar to when I was walking up to the restaurant, there was not much of a smoke smell upon entering, but it certainly had a laid-back, welcoming vibe to it, with just a hint of BBQ smoke in the air. Also, in addition to the BBQ, they have a full burger, sandwich, apps, and salad menu, with full bar options available as well to help wash down your meal. They even have a small stage set up as well for some live local music if that’s your jam. In terms of the food, I was pleasantly surprised at how good everything was, with each dish I ordered being extremely enjoyable and reasonably priced, but especially the brisket, which is easily the best I’ve had north of Denver. Overall, it creates a strong local hangout community feel, and while it does lean older in years for the patrons, it also creates a warm, friendly environment that is typically synonymous with happy BBQ vibes and pits. Probably a top 10 brisket and ribs in the state, and absolutely some of the best BBQ north of Denver. Would recommend and will be back for sure. Full review at The House of Salt & Smoke

Indoor or patio tables, the best Bacon brisket cheeseburger I have ever eaten so far. Great flavor. The loaded fries are very tasty,we had pulled pork topping and the smokey bbq flavor came out perfectly. The place may look like a hole in wall,but this is a must try. You will be pleased!

Incredible cheese fries, super friendly staff! Plus they hosted a really cool Ozzy Osborne cover band the night I went there. Probably the best place in Berthoud. 10 out of 10! Will definitely return!

Absolutely fantastic. They have a beautiful patio with views of trees and minimal vehicular activity on the road nearby. I got a brisket burger (two massive brisket patties) with lettuce, tomatoes, onion, and pickles as well as any other stereotypical burger condiments. It came with fantastic fresh french fries seasoned with a versatile seasoning blend. The total was about $14 for my food and might be one of the best meals I will have in little Berthoud. I highly highly recommend you come here. This place feels awesome

We had an order for 15 people, and Turner’s Pit Barbecue absolutely nailed it. The team was professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to take care of us. Every order was correct, everything came warm and fresh, and the barbecue was downright delicious. The sauces were incredible. You can tell they put pride into their food and service.
If you’re anywhere near Berthoud and craving real, flavorful barbecue, check this place out. You won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend!
