Great meats and an amazing Mac & Cheese! Brisket was tender and I got a bit of that delicious burnt ends. In particular went really well with their sweet BBQ sauce, which had a great brown sugar base. Mac & cheese came highly recommended and I can see why! Their mix of cheese includs a strong cheese though, so it's definitely something to be aware of.

In town for business. Asked about the best BBQ in town and this was the place I was directed to. Food was excellent. I had the brisket and mac&chz. Top notch! Great service. Fast. One worker finished his shift and walked out to check on me as he was headed to his car. Thanked me for coming to their restaurant. He didn't have to do that. He went out of his way to thank me for ordering a $15 meal. That was impressive. Try Owlbear! You won't be disappointed

Owlbear is the best bbq in the Denver area. Get there early before they run out! Truly one of the very best Denver has to offer. I recently bought a whole brisket - 5.5lbs of pure heaven. Awesome swag too. Thank you to the whole Owlbear crew for working 24/7 to put Denver on the barbecue map.

I've eaten here twice. First time the food was good, second time it was great. The reason I can't give 5 stars is because of the BBQ sauce. It's different. It tasted okay at first but had a weird flavor/texture, almost like there's coffee grounds in it. But based on the meat alone this has been the best BBQ I've had in Denver.

We got a (perfectly smoked!) sliced brisket sandwich all done up with a couple of sides- mac n cheese and pinto beans. The veggie option, bbq jackfruit sandwich, was very smokey, tasty, and worth a try.

Great bbq in the Rino area. Everything was delicious and service was fast. Pork belly and mac and cheese were highlights on my visit. Sauces were very good. I will be coming back soon!

I had the macaroni and cheese and a brisket sandwich. The brisket is good but nothing to write home about.The macaroni and cheese is absolutely fantastic.As of this review, they're still not doing inside dining but there are a few outside seats or you can eat at Our Mutual Friend.

Had the brisket, it was incredibly delicious, pretty much melted in my mouth. Great potato salad too. Fantastic lunch, would return any time.

Very good BBQ, particularly like their brisket and ribs. They also switch around and make different fusions in their sides. I hope to see the miso grits again some time. If OMF brewery next door isn't super busy, perfect easy combination of beer and BBQ without any fuss

Owlbear is a solid spot for BBQ. We ate the brisket and short ribs. The pickles and onions were very good along with the tangy sauce. I only wish they had sausage.

Best bbq in Denver! This place totally lives up to the hype I heard before I finally made it in. No frills hole in the wall type of joint but the food is on point!You can’t go wrong at Owlbear bbq. Brisket, pork tenderloin, ribs, all smoked to perfect. Secret spice rub featuring locally roasted coffee takes everything to the next level. Mac & cheese is delicious with hints of Gorgonzola and magic. Potato salad loaded with dill and mustard seeds to cook off the heat of the spicy sauce.Come early to make sure you get what you want because they do sell out because it’s that damn good!

First time at Owlbear and I would highly recommend it.It's right behind Our Mutual Friend Brewery. Super friendly staff. Brisket was unbelievable. Got one slice of the fatty and one of the lean. The fatty literally melted in my mouth. Both sauces, Tangy and Sweet, are real good too. Had the pulled pork sandwich too which was also good but not as good as the brisket. The brown sugar lemonade was tasty too.There's seating inside for about maybe 10 to 12 people, but you can also take your food and sit over at OMF if you buy a beer there. Sign on the door said staff was 100% vaccinated.Definitely going back whenever I can.

We are on vacation here in Denver and were recommended Owlbear. The food was spectacular and everyone was incredibly nice. We ended up going back for seconds. The price was absolutely reasonable. Definitely a place to go if you’re looking for good bbq.
