Joel H.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Smoked Chicken Wings- chipotle, side of Mac & Cheese, Fries

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.

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.

My son had to put his shirt over his nose because it smelled so bad. There was no staff member anywhere. No one walked out from the back, no one. Half of the yogurt machines were out of yogurt and the advertised yogurts weren't even available. It was dirty and felt run dow. We walked right out and will never return. Do not waste your time.

Came in at 8:40 and was made to feel like we were unwelcome because they were trying to close. All…read morethe chairs were stacked up, the tables were turned over upside down, the napkins were put away, a girl was sweeping, and they seemed perturbed that we would come in so late. If you wanna close at 8:40 then don't advertise that you are open until 9 PM. And on top of all that, this place is borderline disgustingly filthy. I took a picture of the bottom of the table that was stacked on top of another table upside down. It doesn't look like it's been cleaned ever in its history,, ever. The tables outside, as well as the chairs, are disgusting and I wouldn't even touch them. The bathrooms are dirty, the floors are dirty, the place is just filthy.

I've been coming to this place for years and it still is my favorite place for FroYo! Very nice…read moreowner, same great service and great yogurt! It's really nice to see a business keep the quality of product and service. It's not a cheap treat, but what's cheap lately?? Everyone wants higher wages... so prices go up everywhere... I don't understand why some customers paying ahead of me were sooooo outraged that their Yogurt cost was $7.00.... what did you expect?? It was your choice to fill up your cup! Anyways, LOVE the place!

Most Expensive Yogurt Ever…read more I'm from Southern California, one of the most expensive places in the country, so I'm no stranger to high prices. But even by Southern California standards, my experience at Yogurt Yum was absolutely shocking. Two small cups of frozen yogurt came out to $27.02. Let that sink in. Twenty-seven dollars... for yogurt. To make matters worse, the yogurt itself was average at best. Nothing special, nothing memorable, certainly nothing that would remotely justify a price tag like that. It tasted like the same frozen yogurt you can get at dozens of other places for a fraction of the cost. What really made the experience worse was the fact that there were no tasting cups available. Most frozen yogurt shops allow customers to try flavors before committing, especially when you're paying by weight. Here, you're expected to just guess and hope you like what you pick, while the price quietly climbs into the stratosphere. Again, I come from Southern California. I've been to plenty of frozen yogurt shops in places where rent, labor, and everything else is expensive. Never in my life have I paid $27 for two small yogurts. Needless to say, NEVER again will I buy yogurt from here. Buyer beware... you can't say you weren't warned.

Extremely expensive $41 for these two yogurts which weren't even half way full. Very disappointed won't go back again
