    Great BBQ and we came in on a Tuesday which is rib day at $2/rib which lead to us getting a rack. It's me, my spouse and daughter and we added two 16oz side and it filled us up with leftovers. The bake beans and coleslaw are both home made and yummy! Service was good, its walk up style. Full bar if that interest you. Nice outdoors area.

    If you're looking for the true BBQ taste, smell and feel, look no further! 5B's has got it going on! Locally owned and operated by a wonderful family. This family owned operation gives back a lot to the community and Western State Colorado University. Support local business! They support so much! Excellent service. Excellent food! They even have a food truck for off premise events. If you like the color pink, you'll love the decor!!

    Yummy! I always love going here. It is such a good atmosphere, everything on the menu is good, it's locally owned, and the drinks are delicious! Great place to host large groups or go in any day of the week!

    Ribs, sausage, brisket, okra, and potato salad
    Skeeter S.

    Absolutely delicious! The perfect stop before getting on the road back from Created Butte to Denver. The meat was tender, delicious, and unsauced...allowing you to taste the meat first and then enjoy your level of sauciness. The okra and potato salad are wonderful. Even the ice in the soda fountain is good! Fast, friendly, and freaking delicious.

    Happy hour

    Driving down 285 there isn't much to choose from but in Gunnison there are a bunch of options. We stopped here since it was right on the main road. It does have a couple tables on the patio very open concept. Not a ton of parking. You order at the front counter, then take the number back to your table. The menu has great options and is reasonably price for a town. I opted for the pulled pork sandwich and the smoked mac & cheese. I was surprised that mac & cheese is an up charge and considered to be a premium side. Not as many side options as I'd hoped to choose from. The food was under season and a little lackluster. Neighborhood spot but not somewhere I would go again if I was driving through. My friend got a burger, which was undercooked in the middle and when she brought it up to the server at the bar, he took it back and didn't offer to remake or refund her meal.

    Pulled Pork sandwich and coleslaw

    Good sized portion pulled pork sandwich. Great tasting bbq sauce. Friendly counter help. Tasteless coleslaw. Brisket wasn't really juicy and a little dry as if sitting in a warmer all day.

    Rib plate, beams, toast and a side.  $23.   Good!

    Stopped for lunch. Rib plate had 5 bones, great flavor and tender with Beans and bread. Side of potato saild was good but over priced. Coke over priced too. Small parking lot or street.

    We had brisket on the nachos and the Stuckey Shaker is quite unique.   Had to get it and it is good.  Nachos are top nach-o!

    The food here is very good. Interesting options you can't get just anywhere. Lots of tv's to watch the game and cool open air environment. Definitely a place to come back to.

    If you're headed to Black Canyon of the Gunnison from Denver you're probably going to get hungry along the way, and in the event that that does happen, you should probably stop at this BBQ place because it hits all the marks and is overall a pretty awesome spot. Plenty of parking, plenty of seating, super clean inside, a friendly crew, decent prices and everything we tried was delicious. Ii hadn't been before and kind of wanted to sample a lot of things so I just ordered a plate with a variety of their meats. Some brisket, chicken, sausages, pulled pork and a single rib. Everything was on point, and I'd order it all again, but the rib really stood out. They had em on special for $1.50 per rib, and I ordered it as an afterthought but it turned out to be the best thing on the plate. Perfectly smoky and literally fell complete off the bone with no effort at all. Fantastic. Long story short, this is exactly what you should expect from a good BBQ joint and you can rest assured that if you stop in you'll be pleased with the food. Would return for sure if in the area again. 5 stars.

    What a find! We were road tripping through the area on our way to Boulder and found this excellent…read morelittle local food truck. Everything was so fresh and tasty. Super friendly service and very accommodating for my no dairy requirements. I had the veggie burger, which was probably the best veggie burger I've ever had. This thing was so fresh tasting, there's no way it was prepared from being frozen. Full of quinoa, corn, etc. super duper delicious remoulade on a really good gourmet bun. Of course, I forgot to take a pic, but, I did manage to document my eating mates selections. See those pics - albeit, half eaten. Upgrade your order to the sweet potato tots, don't even hesitate, they're healthy and come with a mustard seed aioli sauce that makes the whole meal 360 degrees of scrumptiousness. I wish I had room in my pie hole for the donut ice cream sandwich - my only regret. Go off your intended route to try this place. McDonald's and Taco Bell don't need you. There's lovely tables and chairs under the trees that are clean and stocked with napkins and hand sanitizer. A really nice break in our trip!

    Great find! Stopped by here while camping in the area. I'm with my pups so an outdoor seating area…read moreat a food truck sounded perfect. They have a nice sized patio area with about 7 spaced out tables and a couple of chairs for the to go orders. There is a huge pine tree for shade as well. Simple menu written on a chalk board because it varies daily. The prices seem appropriate for a quality food truck and for the area as well. I was already debating the Philly or the shrimp poboy depending on what they had and it turned out to be the poboy. Order didn't take long and then my huge sandwich arrived. It came with a small bag of chips, but the sandwich itself is huge and loaded. The sandwich is on a soft hogie rather than the traditional french type of bread, but it's delicious and fresh . The shrimp (plump, perfectly cooked and plenty) is in a kind of dark cajun remoulade mixed with bacon and sauteed onions with multi colored bell peppers. Oh, and it has lettuce so you don't feel bad about eating it all in one sitting! :) Overall, I loved it! Bursting with flavor in every bite! Felt more like a Cajun shrimp Philly minus the cheese. Only if I was to be the one to name it of course! There is no such thing as a shrimp Philly though...yet! Oh, and ask for a fork or to have them cut it in half or you will be using way more napkins than necessary! ;-) Met Kevin, ones of the owners and he was very nice and easy to talk to. Nice place to stop if you are passing through or if you are a local, what are you waiting for!? Try them out before they go on their winter vacation! :) Or just make sure you try them out when you get a chance. They'll be back. I hope!

    This is about as good as it gets in Gunnison, and that's saying quite a bit because there are…read moreseveral very nice restaurants here. The wine list is very nice, and you won't break the bank -- especially at happy hour, with two dollars off each glass of wine between 5 and 7 PM. We had the House Malbec, from Mendoza, Argentina, and it had a delicious flavor and aroma. It was a full bodied and smooth, dark red offering. For an appetizer, we had the Shishati grilled peppers with pesto/cilantro sauce, and they were just fantastic. They are mild, nicely grilled, and beautifully presented. It is served as an appetizer, but please be warned, one out of every nine peppers is exceedingly hot. We had about 12 peppers, and all of them were mild, so we beat the odds! I've had hamburgers all over the world, and I can honestly say I have not had a better cheeseburger than I got right here from the menu at Blackstock. It's in a traditional bun, lightly toasted, with tempura, onion, cracked pepper, mayo, Tabasco, candied and smoked bacon, and it is served with Hand-cut fries. You can add guacamole for a dollar, or blue cheese or Gruyere cheese for another dollar. But I did not add a thing; it was perfect as it came out of the kitchen for me! You will be asked how you want your hamburger cooked, and I chose medium. It could not have been better! It's on the menu at a very fair $21 including your hand-cut fries. My lovely dinner-date had the petite filet mignon, a 5-ounce offering of spectacular steak, served with goat cheese, potato croquettes, asparagus, stewed shallots, served with a Cabernet Demi glaze at $45. It was a large serving, I believe bigger than 5 ounces, because we are taking half of it home in a to-go box! Again, the food was spectacular... really good. We will finish with the flourless chocolate torte, serve with whipped cream and Amarina dark cherries at $11. If I was a betting man, I'd say you're gonna love this place! Take a few pictures, do what I did, and leave a review, because more people need to know the quality of food coming out of this little storefront on a busy street in Gunnison! And if you ask for Danielle, be advised, he's a great server and you will get exactly what you need! He's very attentive, and charming.
