Cody and Mateo provided absolutely fantastic service! We had the cheese fries and onion rings with a Face Down Brown beer to start off. All, so good! The cheese sauce was so good. The onion rings were probably the best I've had, ever. I had five garlic parmasan wings and five mango habanero. These were so delicious and well cooked. The restaurant is nicely laid out so you can get food, drinks and ice cream easily with no real wait. Very clean too! read more

Had some extra time on my hands before I had to go to an appointment and stopped by to grab something to eat. I was greeted at the counter by Mateo, and he was such a happy, vibrant young man! He first asked my name and then introduced himself to me and said, "Hi, I'm Mateo." We chatted for a few minutes, and he was so nice--he even complimented me on how pretty my nails were. It was such a pleasant interaction. My order was taken, and then I sat down and waited for my meal. Mateo brought me my meal with that same warm smile and greeting. About halfway through my meal, he came back to my table, addressed me by name, and asked how my meal was and if there was anything else he could get me. I told him the meal was delicious, and we chatted for a few minutes more. When I asked for a to-go box because I was full and wanted to take the rest home, he brought me a container AND a bag to carry it in. Mateo's service and attention to his customers was superb! I say this because, even though you can sit down and eat inside, this is counter service--you walk up, place your order, and they bring your food to you. What I have never experienced is that kind of personal follow-up and attention after sitting down and starting my meal. I truly appreciated Mateo's thoughtfulness and the genuine pride he seemed to take in making sure his customers were taken care of. Great customer service can completely change an ordinary stop for lunch into a memorable experience, and that's exactly what Mateo did for me today. Thank you, Mateo, for your kindness, your warm smile, and for making my unexpected lunch stop such a pleasant one. You are an excellent example of what outstanding customer service looks like! read more

The ordering & service was fine, and the bbq tasted ok, but the problem is that my 1/4 of turkey was served cold. My ftmruend's brisket was too. I'm from Texas, and I've never had bbq served to me that way. It really is better hot! Bathrooms were clean & there was plenty of parking. read more

GQue BBQ Thornton - Turkey served cold - Barbeque Near Me - Thornton, Colorado

Fast food BBQ that will NEVER get confused with real BBQ from Texas or Kansas City. Came by for lunch and was not impressed. Ordered the brisket sandwich and "made it a meal" so I also got a drink and a side. Brisket was dry and had no bark. I ate a little over half the sandwich and put it down. Mac & cheese was just ok. They have pasta made and in storage and slop some cheese on it. All for $24 which seemed like way too much money. Won't be back. read more

I go to Gque pretty often and it never disappoints. I always love the vibe and 90's music. The food is great and today I had the dry rub wings and the seasoned fries. The wings are always excellent. The rub they use has a ton of flavor and the blue cheese has the perfect amount of tang. The seasoned fries are the best I've ever had and I order them everytime I eat here. The service is always fast and the employees are always kind to me. My favorite bbq place in Denver, no question. read more

Love the new location in Thornton! The interior is separated into a bar, an ice cream counter, and a counter or order food. You can order food and drinks at the same counter as well- they have an amazing happy hour with $1 coors and $12 pork nachos m-f 2-5pm. Love the nachos- they have a great ratio of cheese to chip, a decent pile of meat, and lots of fresh ingredients. The pulled pork sandwich was good too- the slaw adds a nice sweet crunch. They had 3 different bbq sauces- original, hotish, and a Carolina mustard sauce. Hotish wasn't hot so much as it tasted earthy, like peppers without the heat. Original was excellent though. Was not expecting to be so wowed by the ice cream- I got the cookie dough and the salted caramel Oreo. Some places the cookie dough is just chunks of flavorless dough, but here it actually tastes like cookie dough! And it has plenty of chunks of cookie dough in every bite. The salted caramel Oreo also had a good salt flavor- not too much, just enough to make it different. Service was very friendly, and everyone was very patient. I especially appreciated the guy at the ice cream counter who talked me through the flavors and was patient as I tried a ton before making my decision. Also, be sure to sign up for their rewards program on their website, as you get a free sandwich! Highly highly recommend and we will be back. read more

Great food, great environment, great ice cream! Mateo was working hard and very friendly. We come once a week! Highly recommend!

We've come here weekly for 6-months. Food is emasculate. The service is better than a restaurant. The people are amazing and nice. We love coming here. read more

Went there on 11/26/25. Went got there around 5pm. It was the day before Thanksgiving so it was very busy. Like us, nobody else wanted to cook at home. When we got there they were out of turkey and brisket. Then while we were there they ran out of beans. The staff was great! Very attentive and friendly. We got the family platter. (1.5 pounds of meat, we got pulled pork and sausage, 3 sides, Mac n cheese, baked beans and coleslaw.). The coleslaw was awesome! So good. The atmosphere was great. Such a change from what that building was before. Will definitely be back. Everything was great! read more

Faith and Steph rock. I arrived at noon and they were busy but with the service they delivered it was as if I was the only one there. I had the Denver Broncos Fries along with a half dozen Dry Rubbed Chicken Wings which were all so delicious. This was my first time at the Thornton Restaurant and it was a great experience. A warm sunny November Day lead us to lunch on the outside eating area and it was a real treat. Looking for Great BBQ in THORNTON, look no further than GQue BBQ. read more

The meat was incredibly dry! The side was maybe three bites with very little flavor. The worker offered no bread. If I had it, maybe it would have been one good thing. Expensive for what you get! read more

Great location addition! Everyone who works here is fast friendly and efficient. Food at GQue is always consistent and delicious. I love that this location has a drive thru for pick up orders. read more

Food is amazing every time! Wife and I go here a few times a month and we always leave satisfied!

It's been a minute since I have contributed to Yelp, and what better time than now with this restaurant. We just recently returned from Texas visiting family and we're craving some good BBQ, and had been wanting to give this place a try. It seemed a little pricey, but you can't put a price on good food (you get what you pay for). We took our Granddaughter, and Great Granddaughter (who approved of the Mac and Cheese) and meet a couple other family members (Texans), and we all felt that the food was pretty good. The true test was the brisket. The brisket was very tender, yet still moist, and also had a lot of flavor. The pulled pork was also very tasty. They also had three different bbq sauces available for you to use, which were all good, and not overpowering like other establishments. The staff were very courteous, and the establishment was very clean and welcoming. All in all we were all very impressed. read more

Very best BBQ in North Metro Denver. Excellent whether there or to go. Great ice cream too.

We are happy to have another local food joint on this side of town. We love gQue, but the prices nowadays will make us come a lot less. We have been to the other GQue several of times, so I ordered ahead since I knew this location has been really busy. The pick up system is pretty great since at this location you can pick it up through the drive thru. It was a previous Wendy's that they converted which is pretty cool compared to their other locations. I ordered the chipotle smoked wings which were spicier than I was expecting but not bad. The seasoned fries didn't help though. I also ordered a single Mac & cheese for $4 which was basically a scoop. In total, it was $26 which is a little higher compared to other places. We would come back, but hopefully they have turkey next time because that's my favorite. read more

First time at GQue was for take out. Ordered the Family Feast and onion rings. The order process was easy and service was quick and friendly. The atmosphere is casual but there is a small bar area. The food was delicious! I had the hot links, pulled pork with beans, onion rings and an order of wings. We'll definitely be back and GQue is our favorite new bbq spot. read more

It's St.Paddy's Day and looking for corn beef and cabbage. I couldn't have made a better choice than GQue in Thornton. The corn beef was the most flavorful and tender I've ever had and I'm old! I highly recommend GQue and will be going back soon. read more

The food is damn good. Service is top notch. The ambiance is BBQ Thank you. I'll be back for sure read more

I'm hooked on what Jason Ganahl is doing at GQ-BBQ and have been since my first visit in 2019 when I was a newbie to Colorado. My favorite smoked wings hands down. Multiple locations around town. Pick your spot! Granny Smith apple slaw on The Carolina pulled pork sandwich's Prime Meats and homemade sauce's. Amazing Teams at each restaurant willing to know you as a guest and make you feel at home. 20% off GC's happens a couple time a a year so take advantage. Getting paid to eat at my go to place priceless. Download the app for even more perks. I'd be a wing subscriber for sure if GQ was closer to my homestead. I haven't tried all the hip spots in Denver for wings-honest and always true in my reviews I speak. Indy has a couple places but.... Being a foodie my whole life and a YELPY has given me the opportunity to be on the other side. Go there tomorrow or this week I promise you you'll have a new favorite place to dine! SYOY and at GQ-BBQ. read more

GQue never fails us! Being from the south it is probably the best BBQ I have found out here in Colorado! We normally order inside, sometimes we'll sit and eat. Today we ordered ahead and picked up through the drive thru, great service always! read more

Great food and amazing drinks! I walked in not expecting much because it looked like a fast food restaurant, but after we got our food I changed my mind. Everything was delicious and I loved the boozy shake. read more

I mean all I have to say is that it's GQue. This location is fantastic just like the others and was amazing even for takeout. I wish I had a drive through location like this near me. We went inside to order and we got our food super quick. Pipping hot and the staff was super nice. Inside it's neat too because they have a bar and an ice cream shop in the back! We got the pulled pork and the brisket and both were amazing!!! They both have an awesome flavor and were super juicy. They have 3 different spice levels for their BBQ sauce as well which I love because I am not a sweet BBQ sauce fan and like it hot! The hot one had a zip to it but nothing crazy at least for me. Don't let the fast food look on the outside fool you. This place is amazing and the food is phenomenal. Definitely coming back here when I am on this side of town! read more

I decided to try their wings. And I was not disappointed. I got the dry rub and a side of mashed potatoes with gravy. It's my first time trying to Thornton location and I give it a big thumbs up. read more

I love the fact that their barbecue is delicious and you can always turn around go the other end of the store and get some ice cream for dessert. read more

It's nice to have somewhere to get good barbecue. This joint does not disappoint. The wings are smoked and then fried and I recommended the dry rub rather than the sauces. They are out of this world. They have a nice selection of craft beers and a good selection of canned beer. Happy hour is awesome with one dollar domestic. What a deal! I enjoy sitting at the bar where they have friendly bartenders and two TVs swing in and enjoy. read more

This BBQ is super good and I'm a BBQ snob. Love that they have a small bar for single diners. Incredibly good service. Clean establishment- I will keep coming back! read more

Went in tonight, a couple days after the grand opening to give it a try because I've heard good things about the other locations and was not disappointed! When you walk in its very nice! Clean, upbeat and includes a full bar, outdoor patio and ice creamery! The staff was kind and upbeat. Management walked around greeting most people. I was disappointed that neither manager stopped to check on us, but I'll survive lol. We tried the pulled pork sandwich and The Nashville Hot smoked and fried chicken sandwich. We also got the seasoned fries. The BBQ pork was extremely good! Topped off with the "Hottish" sauce, was definitely a good choice. I can see why its a popular choice. The Chicken sandwich wasn't bad either. It barely had any Nashville Hot sauce on it so we had to add some more of the hottish sauce. Fries were hot and crispy and very well seasoned! Overall it was a good experience. Glad they are in the neighborhood and hope they do well!! I will definitely be back to try some other meats, some ice cream and their $1 happy hour beers!! read more

Great food... fast and friendly staff. We have found our go to BBQ place. Definitely will go back!!!

We love this place! From the minute you walk in the door the staff is the best. Friendly as can be. Every single staff member. They all help each other out- working efficiently in like a well oiled machine. I am especially particular about a place that is clean and I notice them taking the time to wipe tables carefully and even the outside of the condiments. It is difficult to decide what to order because everything is good. The seasoned fries - the ribs- the wings- the brisket ! We moved here recently and im so glad we found this place! It's my go to at least once a week. read more

Great, barbecue can't be beat!! The lean brisket is so good. As are the pork ribs, you only need a couple bones and they're amazing.

Great barbecue! And the pulled pork sandwiches are huge. Mateo was so helpful and friendly. I'll definitely be back.

The good is the tenderness of the brisket and pork. The bad is they put an huge amount of salty seasoning just before serving that destroys the flavor of the meat. Note to self: if I eat here again I will definitely tell them not to put the seasoning on my meat. BBQ sauce should be addictive. The sauces are passable but not memorable. read more
