We ordered catering for our backward wedding BBQ and loved the brisket and potato salad. The food arrived as scheduled and delivered by Frank Jr himself! Thank you and we will be ordering again every year for our summer BBQ!
Visitor to Denver. Heard about this place from another hotel guest so I had to try it. Small little restaurant it’s little seating, mostly set up for takeout. Menu board had limited selection, made my order, and ate outside nearby and wow, the food was fantastic. Loved the meats and the coleslaw. I’ll be back next time I’m in town.
Our family has had Franks catering handle all our food needed events from private family outings to our corporate events for many years now. The quality of service, pricing, and the FOOD is always top notch.
Not that great

They catered our wedding this past week. I can't tell you how happy we were with our decision to work with Franks. The service was top notch. They showed up and had zero issues getting everything set up on time and professional laid out. THEN THE FOOD... We got dozens of compliments from the guests on how tasty the food was. Lastly, this was a very affordable option for hosting a large group. We would hire them again anytime!

Looks like a little hole in the wall, but it has some really good barbecue. Very impressed with the food and pretty good amount. I got the two meat special with two sides.

Brisket has Amazing flavor. We really enjoyed eating the brisket. We did try with the bbq sauce, It didn’t need it, the brisket was good on its own.The service was good and the small eating area was clean.

I've driven past this place dozens of times on my way from Denver to Lakewood and I've always been curious about it. This time I was driving home at 3:30 p.m. and I pulled over to check it out--just in time as they close at 4 p.m.I had no idea that this was one of the oldest food businesses in Denver. The grandfather of the current owners started the business in Bay City, Texas back in the late 1960s, moving to Denver in 1980. The walls of the dining room are full of memorabilia that provides an interesting history of the city.Frank's main business is catering and they can handle extremely large events. They include set-up, take-down, food tables, and servers. They can also provide tents, tables, and chairs. Food options include whole, smoked pigs, smoked turkeys, brisket, sausage, pork ribs, chicken, and pulled pork plus sides and desserts.Although the business is mostly catering, there is a small dining room at their headquarters and you can stop in for a plate or a sandwich or items by the pound to eat-in or take out. The hours vary and are limited, but they're generally open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.I tried a three meat plate with brisket, pulled pork, and pork ribs with sides of cole slaw and pinto beans. The brisket was awful. It was sliced paper thin which was a first for my lifetime of barbecue experiences. It was also totally lean, tough, and flavorless. The pulled pork was tender and pretty good. The ribs were OK, flavorful, but hardly fall-off-the-bone tender. The beans were cooked nicely, but I would have preferred a little more barbecue flavor. The cole slaw was great, very creamy and fresh. I don't expect the cole slaw to be my favorite item on a barbecue dinner, though.I don't think these guys do a lot of volume over the counter. They are probably a better choice for catering.

This place is family owned and their food is good. Place is clean and well kept. If you walk in and the doorbell don’t go off just yell, “HELLO!” and the cook will come out. Sometimes their bell don’t work but they don’t mind you grabbing their attention.
