    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

I'm sure it's pretty tough to make these as tender as they were, but I was very happy with the results. I also had the pulled pork which was juicy and delicious and the brisket, which is always great. What may have impressed me the most was the grits. I also highly recommend going there on a weekend to get their three dollar Sammie. Don't think you'll beat that price anywhere for a solid amount of meat.

    Got to try this place out first on the TooGoodTooGo app and couldn't resist on coming back the next…read moreday to order something else off the menu! 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.

    Yum! I got the 1 meat plate with bbq ribs, green beans and Mac & cheese. It included a Hawaiian…read moreroll 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!

    Alas, I should have heeded more the rating than the enticement of the business' name. And then we…read morewalk in on a Sunday night and it's completely empty, not one table with patrons. I would have walked out and gone somewhere else except I had two disabled folks with me and one ornery sibling who would have balked. That being said, the place itself has been designed pretty great. Excellent tables and chairs and even some high top ones. Very, very clean. Area where there was BBQ sauce and some garnishes was alone by itself and coulda been dressed up a bit more to look more enticing. Now, the food. The burnt ends, unbelievably, were not true burnt ends, at least in my book. They were cubed meat with either side burnt but they were not ends. Burnt ends need to be almost all burnt around except one edge. There were only SOME of them like that. But, ok, fine, how's the meat, how's the cut? Most of my pieces were very tough. Cut wrong or with some gristle. Not a tender bite. But I also ordered brisket. Although not as good as I'm used to, at least it was tender and flavorful. But it was sliced thin and shoulda been thicker slices with more burnt edges. My sister liked.her chicken although it looked a bit dry, my uncle seemed to really enjoy his ribs. My brother didn't seem to be as picky as me about his burnt ends, he said it was good. So perhaps my standards are too high. Sides of Mac & Cheese, creamy Cole slaw, rustic fries, and loaded mashed potato were decent, but the charred corn wasn't at all as I was expecting, just corn in a lot of spicy sauce and I would skip it. The toasted bread on the side was altogether uninteresting. My uncle did like his Breckenridge Beer Amber Ale. And the fellow at the front was really nice, although interesting it was just him, and then two cooks in the back, not what I'm used to at most bbq places which usually have a bustle of people behind the counter. But then, again, the place was empty, although had a decent amount of "to go" business. This place feels like it may not last -- it's in a great location and should have had way more people dining in -- and I think the owner needs to invest in another bbq chef who can bring a bit more magic to the food, especially the burnt ends, the brisket and the sides. I was torn between 3 and 4 stars -- were it just me it would be 3, but with the rest of my party, a 4 -- plus the cleanliness and bright atmosphere and great service, a 4 is deserved.

    The burnt end is always sooo good. I've been here a few times now and it never disappoints. The…read moremeat literally just melts in your mouth. They also have a few different bbq sauces to choose from. From sweet, original, tangy, spicy and extremely spicy. They are all so delicious. The bbq beans have bits and pieces of meat and full of flavor. I'm already planning my next visit.
