Tommyknocker Tavern, nestled in the picturesque town of Creede, CO, is a barbecue haven that captures the essence of comfort dining. Its ambiance blends relaxation with a historic charm, making it an ideal stop for both locals and travelers. The reviews speak volumes of the restaurant’s excellent service and mouthwatering dishes.

Patrons rave about the sliders, particularly the brisket—with its perfect balance of crispness and tenderness—alongside delectable sides like coleslaw and baked beans. The standout menu item appears to be the Okey Pokey pork BBQ sandwich. Guests appreciate generous portions and affordable prices, making it a family-friendly destination.

David Greenlees noted the unique Honeywagon BBQ sandwich, a delightful mix of beef and pork that keeps diners coming back for more. The local craft beer selection adds to the experience, though some suggest a desire for a broader tap selection. With live music filling the summer nights and a lovely patio area, it’s clear that Tommyknocker Tavern is more than just a meal; it’s a true dining experience in the heart of Colorado’s mountainous beauty.

Amazing place, very relaxed atmosphere in a beautiful mountain town. Great BBQ and staff serving it. If you are in town and would like a cocktail or beer, then this is the place to go.

Awesome bar in a historic Creede building. Good spot for lunch or dinner. BBQ is really good and ribs are spectacular. I highly recommend the Okey Pokey (pork BBQ sandwich) and the Banker. Not a whole lot of beer on tap but they serve local brews from Alamosa, CO. Best Bloody Mary I’ve ever had. Great place to eat for kids as well. In the summertime there is a great patio out back and evenings always have live music in the summer as well.

My family happened upon this place while exploring the area around Creede and decided to give it a shot. We didn't have many options as the quaint, little town of Creed had so few dining options that were open, but we were craving BBQ anyway. We were immediately seated and served by the helpful staff. The food was great and the portions were large. The family opted for the pulled pork sliders while I had the Okie Pokie (?) pulled pork sandwich. Yum! The baked beans were awesome also, and the price for all of us came in at under 50. I'd recommend Tommyknocker Tavern if you find yourself in Creede, Colorado and needing a bite to eat.

We shared a BBQ sandwich called the Honeywagon. It's basically a mixture of beef and pork BBQ with sauce mixed in. It's not huge for the , but it's good. We had chips for a side. When our order came out, it looked someone had eaten half the chips ;), so our server brought us a bag. All was good.

I had a blast stopping in here for moment. People are way too busy being real in the greatest way here. I had this sandwich called the Molly S. that's like this amazing mad scientist bbq-adjacent sandwich. there's clearly an undiscovered genius setting the menu. I also had a great local Pilsner. stop in here if you like a good happy bbq joint / bar atmosphere and delicious BBQ and similar food.

We had nachos and sliders. Sliders were so good we didn't get a picture! The service was great. I was just a bit surprised at the dust that was all over the things hanging on the ceiling. Maybe a good power wash.
