I've lived in denver forever and just discovered this place. If you love a hometown feel and bbq...this is the place. Delicious!!

Corn nugget
Rose R.

Incredible. You must go here. The fried corn nuggets are sweet little fried pillows of creamy corn. The baked beans are perfect; not too sweet, not too heat. The bbq pork was delicious, smoky, tender and juicy. And we took home a pint of banana pudding. Every single part of this visit was perfect. Comfy atmosphere, amazing food; and our waitress (look-alike for Mila Kunis) was on point. Definitely recommend this spot. It was so good I forgot to get pics... next time.

St. Louis Ribs

Went in for a takeout order. I ordered the farmhouse burger and half slab of St. Louis style ribs. This place didn't disappoint and let me tell you I was worried my burger was going to be soggy and condiments all messed up from sitting inside the box but what they did is wrap the lettuce, tomato, onions, and picked up separate from everything else. The burger was great! The ribs aware excellent as well!

The staff at Bono's was amazing! I ordered about $300 of food for my office get together. I placed the order at 1040am, and they had everything ready by 1140am. The food was absolutely delicious, they even let me try samples to make sure I liked what I ordered. Unbelievable customer service!

Baby Back Ribs - Full Rack
Lynn J.

Mouthwatering ribs. I I did not think I was ever going to find a Barbecue place anywhere near as good as Texas, but this place comes really close. This will be my go to place for Texas comfort food. Everyone was so nice. It seemed they have quite a few regulars too. As people walked in they knew them by name. It started getting really busy around 6:30. I'm glad we had gotten there earlier. They have a lot to offer on the menu. Everything we had was so good. I definitely recommend this restaurant. It's clean and quick great service!

Sweet potato fries, one of the combos (sorry...forgot the exact name of the combo) mac n cheese, green chile stew

Probably the best BBQ I have had in the Denver Area. The…read moreBrisket is AWESOME. Good smoke ring, incredibly tender. The jalapeño cornbread was actually a bit spicy and didn't just crumble apart. The Mac and cheese was a good mix of saucy and pull apart cheesy. And the Beans! I have struggled to find a good sweet BBQ bean, these hit the spot. Plenty of room to sit, counter up front, bar in the back. Seating everywhere. Everyone working in the restaurant went out of their way to come check on us during our visit. They were genuinely grateful for everyone who came in and made sure they expressed it! They just got a second smoker and apparently neither one ever gets cold. Even with that, we came at 5:45 in a Saturday evening and several meats were already sold out. Excellent stop! Highly recommend. It's hard to find good BBQ in Denver. But this one competes with some good BBQ I have had around the country.

The people who work here are friendly and the service is ok (a bit slow but they're working hard)…read more The bbq sauce is ok. The spicy one is the same as regular with some hot sauce added to it. The meh part was some of the food. We ordered the 3 meat 2 side Combo: - The green beans were mush and no seasoning. - The mac'n'cheese with the bacon was actually delicious. We might come back for that alone. We added the sausage hotlinks and they were delicious also. - Corn bread was soggy - The meats: we tried the chicken, pulled pork, and brisket. The meats were good but not seasoned. What if I didn't want to slather the bbq sauce on? I just wanted a little salt. And we took our food to go on a picnic so had no access to salt. Overall, it's an ok place. Maybe they're going through growing pains. I'll give them another try when I'm in the area. Be forewarned: their door automatically slams shut, so when I was walking out pushing the door with my shoulder bc my hands were full it slammed closed super quickly. On my foot. Just a random side note to keep in mind if you're walking out with your hands full.*

My new favorite barbecue spot in Denver! 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

The server was quick to take my order and friendly. Definitely glad I got it to go because it was a bit loud due to a large group being there. Food took a little bit of time to make but definitely well worth the wait. The beans were very sweet and yummy. Mac and cheese slaps your taste buds with so much flavor. The ribs on the 2 meat platter I only got 3 of them and a huge link but for the price I thought it was worth it. Can't wait to come back and try the wings and the different types of sauces they got. There is parking garage but parking on the street wasn't a problem in the evening.

It included a Hawaiian roll as well. I also got a banana pudding for a sweet treat. The Bbq sauce was top tier on the ribs- absolutely delicious. The rib meat was tough... but overall had great flavor. The Mac & cheese was dry, but green beans were pretty good! Banana pudding was a custard base and was thick and creamy and so worth it. Will absolutely be back to try more of their sauces and for more of that banana pudding Love that they endorse local businesses, right when you walk in there is a table full of cards for cleaning, dispensary deals, stickers, barbers, etc etc. The young ladies working were very friendly!

He liked his chicken just fine, but anything fried is always best eaten at the restaurant for crisp factor. My brisket French dip was so delicious, I want to order another one today, just thinking about it! The Parmesan fries sound better than they are. They were good, but didn't have any bursting flavor. Regardless, I just love fries, so they were fine, but not anything special. I will definitely be back to this spot. It was hard to decide what I wanted from their menu because it all sounded so good. Some unique options on there. Definitely give it a try!

I've had it before and enjoyed it, but the last couple times the food has been cold despite being ready within 7 minutes. Today, I was at Chop Shop the minute my order was ready, as I got a notification on my phone. I got the chicken with polenta and my husband had the chicken tenders. We got freezer burnt chicken that was wet and soggy, breading falling off, and impossible to chew like cardboard. Not to mention the polenta and Mac and cheese were cold. I understand not every experience can be perfect, however to pay a tip, restaurant service fee (that apparently doesn't go to staff because it's a separate charge), and have to pay for utensils at a quick serve restaurant just to receive small portions, cold food, and past quality ingredients is not acceptable. I would sooner go to a fast food restaurant.
