New barbecue joint in Palmer Lake hitting the ark
If you’re a fan of Texas-style, pit-smoked meats, you’re going to love Sundance Pit BBQ, 25 Colorado 105, Palmer Lake, formerly the longtime home of La Rosa Southwestern Dining.
JT Cline is the pitmaster. And boy, does he know what he’s doing. We got the first tastes of his craftmanship with a Thanksgiving smoked turkey. It was one of the best smoked turkeys we have enjoyed in some time. The meat (including the white meat) was juicy, tender and just the right level of smokiness.
Cline and Maria Fetisova, his fiancé, are doing a soft opening on weekends with the following for takeout: sliced or chopped brisket sandwich, pulled pork sandwich and brisket Philly cheesesteak with a cup of elote, which you can have by itself or topped with smoked meat. Sides are choice of potato salad, coleslaw or baked beans.
Current hours are 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. They will open fully beginning in early 2024. Visit facebook.com/sundancepitbbq.
