Brad's Pit BBQ is take out but you can eat it outside in the beer garden or just take it home. Parking can be a bit challenging on a Saturday afternoon. Service was top notch. I wasn't sure what to order so I went overboard and ordered a sampling. 3 meat (pulled pork, spicy sausage, chopped brisket), creamy Cole slaw, red skinned potato salad, Brad's special bean (OMG), green chili, and grandma's special chili. Don't judge me, I had lots of leftovers, lol. My favorite from the bounty was Brad's special beans, green chili and brisket. Go check them out and have a beer next door!

Like layered rocks, dust with spider webs in corners that have dust on the web. This place has literally never been cleaned in a very long time. I can't possibly know if the kitchen is also dirty, but I make it a point never to patronize any restaurant that doesn't clean thoroughly - regularly.

I am not sure why this BBQ restaurant has such high reviews. Overpriced cold food. The chicken was…read moreseasoned well, however the skin was rubbery. The beans tasted exactly like Bushes from a can. The Mac n cheese was cold, dry and had no cheese on it... it was basically buttered noodles. I hope this was just an off day, however Colorado isn't known for having the best BBQ out there. Very disappointed. Not a good meal at all and I feel like I wasted money. I am giving 2 stars because the gentleman assisting was very friendly. When I asked for a recommendation for a side, he hesitated and didn't sound too sure of his answer.

While it's a counter-order kind of place, there's a big empty room in the building right outside the restaurant where you can eat. There's even cornhole to play in the meantime! While I'm a bit biased since my mother in law is the family friend of one of the owner's relatives (we all chatted for a bit), the service was great and quick. It's worth the drive further from Denver!

A quick google search for "dog friendly patios" led us here - and boy howdy I am sooooo glad it did! I love good smoked meats and Rusty Tapp hit the nail square on the head. Everything we had was fantastic, including the service. When the server asked if we wanted pup cups for the dogs, of course we said yes, but were so surprised to see that the dogs got to enjoy a little cup of plain smoked brisket. They each gave the pup cups 5 stars. We have a friend who is celiac, so we frequently as about gluten free options anywhere we go. Our server gave a very detailed and precise answer about the menu, what was available, and mentioned the shared fryer which was so appreciated and makes it easier for our friend to feel more comfortable trying a new place. The patio is couple of tables out front, but the traffic wasn't busy, it's not loud, and we had a nice night out. We've added this spot to our list of places to return to!

Was lucky enough to…read morestumble on this while walking around near a friend's apartment in Englewood, Denver has all these cool little pockets where it's very suburban and then all of a sudden you'll have a small corner with a few shops and restaurants and giving it a lovely walkable vibe. I could tell this place was going to be good because it was packed out at 11:30 AM on a Saturday. We decided to stop by and most people were ordering very large orders for takeout, but they have a good number of tables both inside and outside. The food takes a while to come, but that just means that it is all freshly prepared, and the staff are so nice and even give free samples. I went with the Kids meal brisket with the Potato salad and added a Sweet potato with the candied pecan butter. I seriously have no words -- all of these things were so delicious, and the amount of meat that you get even with the kids meal is more than enough to fill me up, especially with the rich sweet potato and potato salad on the side. I will be back as soon as I can, their hours are limited, and the drive is a little out of the central Denver area, but it is so worth it

That was missing here, the first indication that all would not go well. I soldiered on anyway, and ordered the 2 meat plate, pulled pork and brisket, with an extra rib bone and collard greens and beans for sides. The brisket and pork were both dry and had no smoke flavor. The rib was so small (an end piece) that they gave me 2; they were both overcooked and had very little meat on them. The sides were the only good part of this meal, but sides do not great barbecue make, hence the 2 stars. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The pitmaster visited our table and took our criticism with good grace, even offering to replace our food to see if they could do better, but I was done. I won't be returning.

As I was driving down, the owner called me and let me know they ran out of corn fritters, and only had one order of burnt ends. I went with another order of brisket and changed to corn bread as my other side. I appreciated the call, he was on top of things! I picked up my food and ate it in my car. The beans were thick and full of meat pieces which I love. The corn bread was more like a corn cake. Super buttery and chewy, it was delicious...maybe the best corn bread I have ever had! On to the meats...........Burnt Ends- Meh...they were just ok. 2 pieces of the 6 were straight up fat, with no meat on them. A tad disappointed in that! The brisket was a little dry, but still tasty enough. Their regular bbq sauce is really good, and I dipped my brisket in that. Solid 3 meat plate minus the 2 shitty burnt ends pieces.
