Foodography from Russell's Smoke House

There are a number of places you can get pretty good bbq in Denver.  Russell's is not one of them.  The meats are well smoked.  The dry rub gives them a good crust, but it is almost devoid of flavor, and the three watery and uninteresting sauces do little to improve that.  The cole slaw is totally bereft.  It has no flavor at all. The collards are bitter.  The beans and corn bread may be above average but not much. To say the food is mediocre might only encourage them. Terrible is more accurate.
