Post Oak BBQ is a great spot for some classic Texas-style BBQ in Denver. We got the brisket and ribs, and both had an awesome smoked flavor. The brisket was tender with a great bark, and the ribs were just as flavorful. For sides, we went with the jalapeño cilantro coleslaw, bacon mac 'n cheese, baked beans, and corn muffins with honey butter. Everything was delicious, but the corn muffins with the honey butter were definitely a standout. The service was also amazing, and the atmosphere made the experience even better. We sat inside and got to watch the end of the Rams vs. Seahawks playoff game while we ate, which was a perfect way to wrap up the meal. Great BBQ, excellent sides, friendly service, and a fun atmosphere. Definitely worth a stop if you're craving BBQ in Denver! #cleanyourplate read more

Post Oak Barbecue - Feed 4 growing men. Prime Brisket, Beef Ribs, Baked Beans, Bacon Mac 'n Cheese, Jalapeño Cilantro Coleslaw, and Corn Muffins + Honey Butter. - Smokehouse Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I've been here twice. Brisket is decent. The pulled pork very good. Service is efficient. Price is fair to expensive. The room doesn't have much vibe. Their sauces are the weak spot. Getting the meat right is a given, but the sauce should be addictive. I gave it two try's but prolly won't go again. On to the next. read more

We traveled from California to check out Colorado and stumbled upon this gem. Hands down, this was some of the best BBQ I've ever had. We ordered the four-meat plate with mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, and I think either the okra or the Brussels sprouts... honestly, I can't even remember because everything was so good. My absolute favorite was the brisket. It was incredibly tender and packed with flavor. The service was fantastic, the restaurant was clean, and although the line was a little long, it moved quickly and was well worth the wait. I don't know if we'll ever make it back to Colorado, but if we do, this place will absolutely be on our itinerary. Highly recommend! read more

I just love BBQ and a good slice of brisket. This place is by far one of the best bbq joints in Colorado and one that I keep coming back to. I've recently went here with my others and got the family meal. It's really a great deal. The meat selection was 2 brisket, pulled pork, and turkey. Sides were the mac and cheese + the mash potato. Everything was delicious, the brisket was tender with the edge done as how brisket should be. The only caveat is to skip the turkey. Will continue to go :) read more

Post Oak Barbecue - Brisket + Pulled pork + Mac + Loaded Baked Potato - Smokehouse Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Stopped in for lunch on Fathers Day. Even though we showed up 45 mins after opening, the line was out the door and moving slow. Guessing we stood in line for another 30 mins before we got to the counter. By the time that happened, they were already out of the hot links and the banana pudding. Soon after ordering, they ran out of the jalapeño and cheese sausage. Glad we got ours before they did. We ordered, got our table, and our food came out a little while later in waves. My daughter and I quickly realized we didn't each need our own sausage link. Getting one for the two of us would've been plenty. The sausage was fantastic. Lean brisket was a little fattier than I like but was still good. Ribs were a little dry on this day, but fine, I guess. My other daughter tried the turkey but didn't care for it. She said she'd get sausage next time too. I liked her turkey. My wife gets the brisket sandwich. She liked it but commented there could've been more meat. Brussel sprouts, Mac and cheese, and fries are all delicious. The gooey butter cake is a good way to end the meal. Food here isn't cheap. $175 for the four of us is a lot for lunch. However, it's a really good meal, and if you leave here hungry, it's your own fault. read more

My fiancé and I recently moved here from Texas, which is famous for bbq. When we moved into the Tennyson area, we kept passing Post Oak and the smell was always DELICIOUS. We finally decided to stop in, and we were not disappointed! Everything was so tasty. Very comparable to Terry Black's in ATX, if you've been there. Standard portions and options, and I like that they have specials every day of the week. This amount of food was more than enough for two of us. We will definitely be back! read more

Post Oak for the win!!! Five of us flew into Denver on three different flights for a guys' weekend. I contacted Post Oak the day before and asked if we could order the following morning so they wouldn't sell out before our late arrival. Their response: "No problem. We got you!" Then all three flights were delayed almost two hours. ‍ We landed around 9:15 PM, and I called to explain. Once again: "Don't worry. We'll work it out." Three of my boys made it there first, picked up our food, and later RAVED about how accommodating the staff was -- these dudes were excited about a takeout pickup! And the food? Fantastic. I'm picky, and there wasn't a single thing I didn't like. The meats , mac & cheese , and those greens...OMG. After the travel day from hell, I don't know what we would've eaten if the Post Oak crew hadn't gone out of their way for us. Amazing BBQ. Even better people. POST OAK FOR THE WIN!!! Sorry no pics. We devoured it all read more

I didn't get pics of the food before my husband and I ate it all but our brisket sandwiches were incredible. We ordered them plain and got sauce on the side. It honestly didn't need any sauce though, it was that good. We found the sandwiches very filling on their own, and didn't try any of the sides. But I don't think you could go wrong with anything at post oak bbq. read more

Came to meet a few friends for lunch. First time visit. I have seen them ranked online as one of the best in Colorado and we have a lot of them. The atmosphere and the food were outstanding. What I really liked was that the menu was simple to read with no confusion. We sat for a few hours and the line at lunch was pretty long. You may want to either come early or off-peak times. I ordered the $15.00 smaller portion sandwich which was plenty of food. I even had leftovers for dinner. Bottom line, I would agree. #1 BBQ in Colorado. read more

Being from Texas I've missed bbq the last 5 years. I heard Post Oak has the best Texas style bbq in Denver & gave it a shot. First off, arrive early if you have something specific off the menu you are wanting. We got one dinosaur rib and they ran out shortly after. Their seasonings are definitely reminiscent of Texas barbecue & they serve Shiner on tap if you are a beer drinker. read more

Came back after a year, and it was still just as good as the first time. I really love the Mac and the brussel sprouts are delicious. It wasn't as crowded as the first time we came so it was a nice atmosphere. I had a free pulled pork sandwich which was HUGE. We also got two spare ribs, 1/2 pound brisket and Parmesan fries. The spare ribs and the pork sandwich were the highlights both were juicy and just great flavor. The let downs for me were the fries they were like soggy and just not a consistent fry on them. I also am not the biggest fan of the brisket as I kind of think it's dry. Otherwise this place is great and I would recommend. read more

I lived in Texas for years, so I'd like to think I've had plenty of practice judging great BBQ. Post Oak BBQ is some of the best I've ever had. The staff was just as impressive as the food--friendly, welcoming, and passionate about what they serve. Every meat we tried was somehow even better than the last. I was told I didn't even get to their two best items--the wings and the pork belly--which just gives me another reason to come back. The biggest surprise? The turkey. I never thought I'd say it, but it may have been my favorite. That said, I'd gladly come back for every single meat on the menu. If you're there, tell Dokato at the bar I said hello. This place deserves 100 stars! Worse part but mandatory, save room for the banana pudding!!!!! read more

Best Texas-style barbecue in Denver - is not even close! Dino ribs, brisket, pork ribs - and pork belly, and all the sides - STELLAR - best anywhere near Denver. The only possible negatives are the long lines sometimes, and when they run out of many of our faves. Staff is awesome, too - friendly and always cheerful. read more

5 stars! As someone from Memphis, I'm pretty picky when it comes to BBQ, so I don't hand out praise lightly. Post Oak BBQ absolutely delivered. The Dino beef rib was cooked to perfection--tender, flavorful, and worth every bite. The pork ribs were meaty and had great texture, and the collard greens had just the right amount of vinegar to balance everything out. This is the best BBQ I've found in town so far. The sauces lean more Texas-style than what I'm used to, but I won't fault them for that . If you're looking for outstanding BBQ, Post Oak BBQ is definitely worth a visit. read more

Top to bottom an amazing BBQ restaurant, the only thing I didn't like was the beans. Starting with the service it was AMAZING! We opted to sit at the bar and our very busy bartender could not have been a better hostess. Making suggestions, answering questions, and even ensuring that I got a military discount I would not have thought to ask for at the end of my meal. (I didn't realize I was wearing my Army shirt) The food was outstanding not too much smoke (but still a Smokey flavor) tender and juicy meat, and 3 different sauces on the side to pair with. The Beans were not my favorite but that was a matter of preference in liking very BBQ forward beans. They were still cooked well. The Mac & Cheese was creamy with just the right amount of flavor and the mashed potatoes with country gravy were delicious. My favorite was the Jalapeño cheese sausage which was unbelievably delicious. The cost to food ratio was fair, and while BBQ is a bit more expensive it was very much worth it. read more

Post Oak Barbecue - Bbq - Smokehouse Near Me - Denver, Colorado

We stopped by on our last day in the Denver area. I needed some MEAT! Our party of five received special attention from the owners who suggested we order a family-style platter of a selection of their meats. We opted for this with pulled pork, beef brisket, smoked turkey and spicy jalapeño sausage complimented with sides of corn bread muffins, cowboy beans and collard greens. I've had Texas BBQ in San Marcos during a recent visit and this compared favorably to Salt Lick BBQ. The brisket was lean and very tender, the pork was on par with any other pulled pork I have had back east. However, to me, the star of the show was the smoked turkey. The two slabs I ate were easily the best I have had to date. Juicy, tender and smoked to perfection. The sides got mixed reviews. Some weren't wild about the collards and, given I don't like them, I can't comment. However, the cowboy beans were a perfect side for all this meat. It had great taste and just the right amount of heat. The corn bread muffins were great with their honey butter. Man, they give you a lot of butter! We left our hunger behind and still had several take-out containers for a snack on the road. I liked this place a lot and it is now one of my favorite places to eat when in Denver. read more

This place was off the hook! A 4.5 if I could adjust the rating. Colorado dwelling from Texas originally, we've been looking for Texas BBQ all over. I have to say we were thoroughly impressed here off the Tennyson strip! The staff was thorough and kind, greeting us in and sending us off with full bellies and smiles radiating. The place was bustling and full, a good sign in my book. We chose a few classics to get a good feel: beef brisket, smoked turkey, smoked wings with collard greens and the house bacon mac as our sides. Unfortunately, rolling in at nearly 7 we missed the honey glazed biscuits and Dino-ribs, already sold out for the day. The wings and turkey were cooked perfectly! I did prefer the juicier flats compared to the drums. The brisket, coming in at third place, was dry unfortunately. The sauces had to carry that one down, although the smoky flavor was there. Greens were absolutely delicious, the bacon mac was creamy and thick and flavorful. The Texas and Carolina sauces were a crowd favorite, tangy with a little kick, just enough to get the sinuses running! They had complimentary white bread (not toasted), cucumbers and jalapeños. Overall, the place was wonderful! I can't wait to go back start of service, see if we get blessed with some of the other meats they got to offer. :) read more

Literal perfection!!! Got the pulled pork Carolina and it was gone in 2.5 seconds!! Brussel sprouts and jalapeño Mac n cheese were great too. Only thing I regret is not ordering more meat options!! Prolly a good thing I don't live around here or else I'd be there once a week! Sat at the bar and the bartenders were super friendly! Everything came out really fast too. Went later than the normal dinner rush (like 7/8ish) and it was still busy! read more

Overall rating: 4.5/5 I love Texas style bbq so I was super excited to check out Post Oak Barbecue when I visited Denver. The inside was lively with people going in and out. Once inside, line up to order your meal which they prepare and bring to your table. One thing to note is that they do prefer you order first before finding a table. I came with family on a Tuesday around 7pm and it was decently packed. We parked along the streets and walked on over. The servers were really friendly and took their time explaining their menu. Our food came out within 10 minutes after we ordered. For a party of 4, we got: 1. Brisket (4/5): flavor was good but a bit dry 2. Sausage (5/5): good flavor and had a bite to it 3. Loaded potatoes with pulled pork (5/5): the biggest baked potato I had! Pulled pork was amazing 4. Corn muffin (3.5/5): good but pretty standard. It came with a cinnamon butter which I didn't really like 5. Dirty Mac with burnt ends (5/5): creamy and velvety either great flavor! I loved the burnt ends 6. Cream corn (4/5): good flavor but consistency was a bit watery 7. Brussel sprouts (5/5): these were phenomenal! Great flavor and really crispy! Overall a great place to check out. I'd recommend coming and for sure ordering the Brussel sprouts sides with whatever else interests you! read more

Visiting Colorado for the first time, I had to make a pit stop for some barbecue, and this place absolutely delivered. I loved that they offer daily specials; since it was Friday, they had a great deal on their burnt ends. I also tried the ribs, $8 for a two-count or $4 for a single, and they were amazing. The jalapeño mac and cheese was incredibly delicious. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything tastes so good. I also really appreciated the grab-and-go to-go trays laid out and ready instead of having to ask an employee. That was a new experience for me, and I loved the concept. Ambiance is nice and spacious and great for big groups. read more

We visited Post Oak BBQ on a Monday afternoon. The place was relatively packed. You order from the counter, get a number, and the food is brought out to your table. We had the brisket with chips and coleslaw, the chicken wings, and a side of the daily special (a tasty beef stew). Everything tasted delicious and we will definitely be back if in the area. read more

The bbq is great. I usually get the pulled pork and the burnt ends are only on Fridays and definitely worth the visit! The fried okra is one of my favorite sides. The only thing that would make it more perfect is if they had Texas style sweet tea. Overall, I'd recommend if you're looking for good bbq. read more

Post Oak Barbecue was a delicious lunch stop on Tennyson Street as we explored this fun & lively area. This little restaurant serves up some of the best Texas BBQ using post oak wood from Texas in their BBQ pits. You order at the counter, then find a table - the friendly staff brings out your food. It was crowded the Sunday we were there & the tables were close together. Parking is on the street. Note, check out their website for a free Pulled Pork Sandwich! We tried a variety of dishes. The Smoked Wings (dry rub & mild bbq) were awesome, very meaty & flavorful. The Loaded (huge) Baked Potato was good as well it just needed more pulled pork & cheese. The Pulled Pork Sandwich was piled high with more crispy onions than pork. However, the pork was really tender & tasty. My favorite was the Brisket Dirty Mac. Though the portion was on the smaller side the mouthwatering brisket was the best & the Jalapeño Bacon Mac & Cheese was just as good. It was topped with crispy onions rings & BBQ sauce. I liked that there were bottles of BBQ sauces at each table. This was an authentic Texas BBQ lunch & thoroughly enjoyable! read more

Post Oak is my favorite BBQ spot in Denver. I take all my visitors here. Their brisket dirty mac is to die for. I also crave their brussel sprouts weekly. Only negative is how far away I live from it!! Seriously though, i love the food and the atmosphere. 10/10 place. read more

It's Texas BBQ and it's amazing. There's going to be a wait, but you will get excellent service even while you wait. Completely worth the line and the money. Truly the best barbecue we've had in Denver after being here for almost 23 years. Don't miss the brisket, it's the main event! read more

Was nervous to try Post Oak because I was worried it would not live up to the hype but I was wrong!! Best BBQ we have had in Colorado so far. The meats were so tender and flavorful. The mashed potatoes were creamy and corn muffins were moist (even without the delicious butter). The staff was very friendly and happy to be there. There was plenty of indoor seating and you order at the counter and then set yourself. Decor typical of a BBQ restaurant. read more

Excellent brisket. Corn muffins. Honey butter. Good service. Not easy to find parking.

Ordered 2 pulled pork sandwiches, jalapeño mac and cheese, and a banana cream pudding. If you go onto their website, they have a promo if you sign up for emails, you can get a free pulled pork sandwich. My partner and I each redeemed 1 sandwich, and we added the other items. Pulled pork sandwiches were great, meat was very soft and I enjoyed the different BBQ sauces they had. The jalapeño mac and cheese was good as well, definitely on the thicker side and a bit salty. Banana pudding was yummy! Just the perfect amount of sweetness. Service was good and fast, ambiance is nice and clean. Parking is tough, as it's only street parking...we got lucky getting one around the corner! read more

You know it's good brisket when you can barely eat it with a fork because every piece you think you've stabbed transforms into two smaller pieces. Also the jalapeño mac and creamed corn were both *excellent* sides. We ordered the family platter, which fed five adult men who were moderately hungry. Not too shabby, but for the price it'd be nice if they'd throw some ribs on there as well. read more

The food here taste really good. The Mac and cheese was packed with flavor and a bit on the salty side. The pulled pork sandwiches were amazing. The meat was juicy and soft. Their BBQ sauce is also sweet besides the habanero one. The service was quick and they have a bar behind the food cashier. The food came out within minutes after ordering. The ambiance is clean inside and their bar is usually more filled than the eating area. read more

I moved to Denver from Houston last year. I heard about Post Oak from a fellow Texan who said Post Oak's bbq was as good as it can get. Although I was skeptical, he was right. I was blown away by the brisket and the sausage. The sides were just as good including the fries which are fried to order. The place felt like I was back home. Loved it. read more

Post Oak has gone from the go to Denver BBQ to just another "meh" Texas style spot. The brisket, which was the centerpiece, has been lackluster over the last year or two. When Post Oak first opened, the brisket was maybe not quite on par with what Austin or Central Texas offers, but close. An easy 5 star for Denver. For example, over the last few years, they can't produce brisket with "char" or "bark". Sure, the cashier nods their head when "char" is requested but somehow this very specific request is not reflected in the actual brisket which is neither most nor dry but less satisfying than it was during their first few years. Then their sides, like the cowboy beans, are ok but a bit colder than usual even though the place was only open for 30 minutes. So don't expect Austin quality here. For that, call J Meuller. In summary quality has deterioriated slowly even though it still retains a honky tonk ambiance. This could easily be a 5 or 4 star bbq experience, but not until they figure out how Central Texas Brisket should taste. Maybe 3 stars is a bit harsh, so 3.75 could also be a fair rating, but after the 5th time ordering brisket with bark/char and not receiving it, 3 is generous. read more
