As someone who lived in multiple states in the south I was a little skeptical about middle of Denver BBQ. Well, don't judge a book by its cover because the food here is absolutely delicious. The pulled pork, the chicken wings, the sausage, chips, seasoned fries, ice cream. The three sauces are all great (I mixed the hottie and gold). The iced tea is perfect, the staff is super kind and the manager personally checks on the tables: the place is clean and has a patio with ample seating as well. They have some pretty good tunes playing (not my style but not bad). My favorite part about the wings is how the sauce/flavor was really cooked into the meat. Absolutely delicious. We will be regulars going forward! DO NOT FORGET YOUR DESSERT! Oh, and they have happy hour! read more

Well G-QUE BBQ is great no matter which location you choose. This is my first time here at this location and the Food and Service was amazing as usual. Outdoor dining is available and the neighborhood ambiance is warm and welcoming. The weekly special was Pork Belly Burnt Ends and Coconut Curry Wings and they were both over the top tasty. Looking for the BEST BBQ then look no further than G-QUE read more

First time here. I was at a nearby store and was in the mood for BBQ. Friendly staff, fast service. I got an order of 10 wings, half G-Que dry rub & the daily special Caribbean jerk with a side of pit-smoked beans. I was expecting the wings to be more meatier & juicier. I did like the flavor of the dry rub. The beans were okay. G-Que also serves ice cream. I tried the salted caramel Oreo & banana pudding. They were both okay. Overall, there are many other BBQ places to try. read more

I'm originally from Oklahoma, so I mainly grew up on Texas-style BBQ so I was really excited to see what GQue was all about. GQue is nestled in Belmar, Lakewood in a very walkable area. There is paid street parking around the front and side, but I would recommend using the parking lot behind where the DSW and Hobby Lobby are. Indoor seating is plentiful and there is also outdoor patio seating for when the weather is nice. They don't offer plates so ordering is more à la carte style. The staff was super nice and explained everything, even certain events and discounts with local sports teams! I asked if it was more Texas, Kansas City, Atlanta style and he said "Nah this is Colorado style!!" I went with my usual order of pork ribs (I started with just 3) and 1/4lb sliced brisket, with sides of garlic mashed potatoes and pit smoked beans. The ribs are a must. They fell off the bone and had this nice carmelization on the outside that gave just the right amount of sweetness. As for the sliced brisket, I like mine to have a little fat on them and this serving don't have much (I did a to-go order a few days later and the brisket was PERFECT for that order). They have 3 sauces on the table: Original Sweet & Savory, Hottish, and Gold Zesty mustard. Hottish was the one for me, and don't worry it doesn't have much of a kick to it but less sweet than the original. The zesty mustard just wasn't my style. If you're a garlic person, you'll want to grab the mashed potatoes, and they have some skin left on the so it was so delicious. The pit fried beans were alright, and that might just be a Me thing due to texture...they seemed a little dry but you should definitely try them out!!! Overall, great place in Belmar with friendly staff and good quality BBQ with a unique Colorado technique! read more

5 stars hands down a favorite bbq spot for colorado!!!! Service is always great, quick and friendly. The ambiance is chill-- not too busy not too quiet. The food consistently flavorful and delicious. I think the only bad part is when they run out of food, but can you really be that mad? Running out of food = fresh food and that is always the best. read more

Tried GQue for the first time at their Lakewood location! Good BBQ in Colorado is rare and GQue is definitely a solid option! Restaurant is order at the counter, fast casual style. My partner and I tried the brisket sandwich, turkey sandwich, and a side of beans. I really enjoyed the flavor and moistness of the turkey and trying all the BBQ sauces! If you can make turkey taste that good, you're doing something right! My favorite sauce was the original but they all had their place! Staff were attentive and kept the restaurant clean. Cashier kid was patient and kind. There was limited seating for the evening dinner rush. read more

I don't know how this place has past 4 stars. The food was lukewarm minus the wings. Brisket dry and lacked flavor. Pulled pork was tender but had no smokiness. Wings were recommended but had zero crispiness. The restaurant is clean otherwise and staff is nice. I spoke with the manager and said the same things and they were receptive. Unfortunately I will not be returning as there are FAR better BBQ spots for the money. Cough cough Riot, Franks, Post Oak... read more

I ordered from here after reading great reviews and recommendations from others. However, I have to say I've had better BBQ spots in the city of Denver. I think because I ordered this for lunch, it's not a fresh batch of BBQ. The ribs were dry and tasted like it was from yesterday. I was expecting something juicy and tender but I probably got a bad batch. Hopefully this doesn't happen again read more

Holy delicious Thanksgiving. We had ours early and took advantage of their pickup service. The staff was very friendly and had me in and out the door with no wait. I've never tried their smoked turkey before but it is the best I've ever had. I may not choose it over their brisket in the future but it's wonderful for the holiday! The mashed potatoes and green beans were awesome. I wish they had offered a stuffing option for the holiday. read more

Really bad quality food, completely overpriced and bad service. I will NEVER go back.

This was the last stop on our Denver adventure after being in town for the Dodgers game. Best food we had during our trip hands down. The star of the show is the smoked meats. The brisket, wings, and ribs were all top notch. The sauces were all on point. The customer service is AMAZING. The staff if very attentive and helpful, and checked on us alot. Its a nice, clean establishment, and they even have an ice cream shop inside the restaurant. I have to keep it real though, the sides were just ok. The baked beans were OK, the garlic mashed potatoes were OK, but I would not recommend the mac n cheese at all. I don't take my mac n cheese lightly, especially since I make killer mac. This wasnt much better than Kraft. Still, this is definitely a 5 star joint. 1 recommendation i would make, put what meats come with the family platter. Because on the menu it just says meats, so we picked brisket and ribs, and that increased the price by $30 read more

My experience here was so unexpectedly wonderful. I came in for a midday snack on a Sunday and opted to try the wings of the week, maple bourbon dry rub, and a side of seasoned fries. I was blown away. The dry rub was perfectly crispy and juicy, with the maple and bourbon flavors really shining through, and the clear superiority of the smoked wings shining. The fries were also delicious, I got five wings and the fries for only $13, and it filled me up perfectly. The staff was also so friendly, with multiple people coming to check on me during my meal and making sure we had everything we needed I come to Belmar all the time, but this little gem was hiding in the back, in such a cute corner building with lots of natural light and a fun decor. Everything was also very clean and sanitary, which can be hard when places share communal squeeze bottle sauces like this one does. Kudos. I will definitely be coming through here more regularly now that I know ! read more

The brisket was good, but it wasn't as soft soft Tinder melt in your mouth as it usually is. But like I said before, it was doable plus the one dollar happy hour beers, It turned out all right. Aubry, the young lady working the register and the dining room area was simply wonderful with a great attitude and definitely willing to help. The ambience was perfect. It was clean and the music was on point. read more

Great dinner experience the other night. Extremely friendly, helpful staff- thank you!! The restaurant was clean and we didn't wait long for service or for our food to be delivered to the table- which is huge when you're having a slightly later than you should dinner be having dinner with a toddler. Our sandwiches were really tasty and the fries were perfection. My favorite sauce was the sweet and spicy one- yum!! However, the mustard based sauce was outstanding on the sausage. read more

Very good, we ordered the family meal, so much food. You have so many choices to make your meal up. Comes with plates. Server family style, I think is the best part. So the kids got as much as they wanted, of what the wanted..I love the creamy Mac & cheese and green beans. And of course the meat. This is a MUST TRY. read more

G-Que BBQ is easily one of the best barbecue spots I've tried in Colorado (I haven't had many). The brisket was incredibly tender and flavorful, with just the right amount of smoke. The ribs had a nice bite to them and they also had a rich, savory bark that really stood out. Sausage had a great snap and seasoning. The jalapeño wasn't too much heat at all. The mac and cheese was creamy, satisfying, and uniquely flavored. I destroyed it. Easily the perfect side. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, and the staff was friendly and efficient. I appreciated how everything was clearly marked on the menu, making it easy to order even for a first timer. Their "'til it's gone" policy is no joke, especially if you're planning to come later in the day, be prepared that some items might sell out. That said, it's a sign of how popular and fresh the food is. I'd definitely recommend G-Que for anyone looking for high quality BBQ in a relaxed setting. Great for groups, quick lunches, or a laid back dinner. read more

I've been there twice , great food and reasonable prices. Ambiance is great, I didn't have to wait at all .

I'll be back sometime soon! read more

Finally I Found It! It's no secret that I like pulled-pork sandwiches and also no secret that about 99% of them disappoint me. Usually they are fatty and the ones that aren't have meat that's unrecognizable. I've only been to one restaurant that had large chunks of tender, quality smoked pork with no fat and that was in Illinois. Once I moved to Colorado I started my search all over again to find a similar dining experience. It wasn't until today that I found a barbecue restaurant that equaled the quality I'd found in Illinois. G-Que's pulled-pork was perfect. It had large chunks of tender, quality smoked pork with no fat. And although this place provides different sauces to put on the meat, it was prepared so well it needed nothing to make it taste great. For fun I got the sandwich with the slaw on top and the meal couldn't have been more heavenly. read more

considering it axiomatic that a place that looks like you might like to eat there can't serve authentic cue, GQue is OK; but to offer as napkins flimsy brown 4x4 squares, instead of paper towels, is simply insensitive. and to offer house-made ice cream, including alcohol-infused shakes, is pandering to the audience that wishes it had gone next door to In-N-Out Burger. read more

We stopped in and grabbed some tasty meats to go. We ordered wings, brisket, ribs, pulled pork sandwich, beans, and Mac and cheese. Everything thing was made quickly and packaged well. Although I liked everything my personal favorites included the beans, brisket, and regular bbq sauce. My husband enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich and gold sauce the best. I'm glad that we had the opportunity to try a new spot and had a good meal with enough food for a hearty dinner and lunch the next day. Note: the brisket and beans were just as good on day 2. read more

It was surprisingly great! We didn't quite know what to expect. I don't really think of great restaurants when I think chains, but this was very very good. Pulled pork was flavorful and moist, but not soggy. The slaw doesn't have mayo which I loved about the slaw. It was tangy and subtly sweet from the tart green apples, and the vinegar gave it a nice cutting sourness to help with the rich smokiness of the meats. The wings were outstanding! Some of the best we've had in a long time! Get the wings! Also, the baby back pork ribs were the perfect texture--tender, but with a bite to them still. Sometimes fall off the bone ribs are not the right consistency. These were, and you could see the pink smoke ring round the edge of the ribs. Delicious. The one and only thing that fell very very short of our expectations was the beef brisket. It was super dry. Some parts were completely inedible because there were harder than jerky. The manager came to our table and asked how everything was. We explained it was awesome except the brisket. He fixed it by asking what we'd like as a replacement. Great customer service. The Mac and cheese was also to die for! I'm fairly certain they put the cheese sauce over noodles made to order instead of having a big vat of mac and cheese premade because their noodles were still in tact and had a nice firm texture instead of mush! Loved it. The green beans were even yummy! This place was worth it! Every worker was friendly and professional. We are definitely going back! read more

I love this place! Their BBQ is terrific and the onion rings are crispy perfection. Weekday happy hour $1- beers help to wash 'em down nicely. Every single employee that has helped me in a G-Que has been the most friendly and welcoming. They could give training seminars to other restaurants on how to treat customers. Be sure to get their ap, and get a bunch of free food. -YUMM! read more

Extremely disappointed and now I'm broke all thanks to GQ bbq. Group of us went here, we all got brisket, turkey, pork, sausage, and the ribs. In fairness to GQ, the pulled pork & sausage was good, But the brisket was all mush, no bark, no flavor. I suspected it was left over from the other day and they chopped it up like cat food, splashed moisture on it, and put it on my plate. Even tho I requested sliced. Turkey was extremely dry, no texture, just crumbles, no flavor. It was just taking up space on the plate. Boring. ribs were way mushy.... The sides, the beans again was just mush. Looked like a bean soup puree and very sweet. Mash potatoes was average... but I suspected these were boil from a bag potatoes? I could be wrong, but that's what it reminded of Mac and cheese was decent. what we paid per person for what we ordered was what you'd prob pay for TWO people at any other place. Bottom line, we all know good bbq isn't cheap, but this place couldn't meet the expectations of what they are asking for the price point. My experience was disappointing, and expensive. I won't go there again. And it's a head scratcher cause this place gets great reviews and is highly rated. Could be the day I went they were off, but you got my money. The service was nice. The lady taking my order was friendly. No problems there. read more

Pricey but worth it! Had the pulled pork sandwhich combo. The pork was tender and juicy. Delicious! The original sauce was the perfect compliment. The sandwich itself was huge.

Looks like they sell by the pound and do catering orders. Great find! read more

Was excited to try this restaurant (Lakewood location) based upon prior reviews. Unfortunately, this was the most DISAPPOINTING bbq to date in Denver metro. Absolutely no smoked flavor to my pork sandwich, just some seasoning sprinkled atop the meat on a PLAIN bun. Good bbq shouldn't have to be smothered w sauce to have flavor. Friend had brisket, minimal smoke ring, not much flavor at all either. Smoked meat should be able to stand alone w its flavor, both pork and brisket were AWFUL. Chose beans and onion rings for sides, these both were delicious. But, If you can't nail the bbq, a 1 star is too much. read more

Sweetest staff and owner! Amazing BBQ every time! I came in for my 50th birthday and placed a small order to-go.

When I came back they loaded me up with TONS of extra goodies to say sorry. They didn't have to do that but how thoughtful!! Super awesome birthday! I've been coming here for years anyway but they are THE go to for amazing food and great people. read more
