As a Southerner I love to try different BBQ joints I come across. Being in Colorado it is hard to find authentic bbq. First off the staff is very welcoming and hospitable. I think the younger guy said they are from Arkansas or something.
Prices seemed high but you really get a lot of food with it so I think it is worth it (and that is a lot coming from me bc I am very cheap)!
The meat is very tender and juicy though I felt the pork lacked hard hitting flavors, the slaw and bbq sauce all tasted good and went better together with the pork.
The cornbread is made in house by the nice woman, but it was a bit dry and had an odd flavor profile behind it. I did enjoy that she doesn’t make it super sweet though. I enjoyed the side of beans, they don’t put brisket in it which some might see as a miss but I enjoyed it as someone who can’t eat red meat. They use green chiles for a little flavor and kick. I enjoy them. (I will say, I made it to the bottom and there were little pork bits in it)
Not sure if the sweet tea is house brewed and sweetened but I also thought it was done just right.
I had them surprised me for tthe desert and got the red velvet cookie, it is definitely different but not terrible, I don’t think I would order it again if getting a desert, but there were two customers who came in specifically for that cookie so it must be a crowd favorite. I feel like chocolate chunks could elevate it a little.
I give this place an overall 3.75/5, I would come back at some point, but it isn’t at the top of my list.
Vegetarian options: It is a BBQ joint so you really only have meat free sides and desert.
Kid-friendliness: I wouldn't see issues with kids.
Wheelchair accessibility: The steps up and slight incline might make it harder on manual chairs. Once inside you should be fine.
Small little mom and pop shop. I do support smaller BBQ places in denver metro. Me being a Texan, the pulled pork sandwich was good. I used the store bought jar of sweet sauce. Lots of meat that is falling off the sandwich. Never had potatoe salad with sour cream but this ones made with sour cream and mayo, it tasted ok. Just different. The store sign is pretty small. Should Def have a bigger one to ge them more business in. It was pretty busy when I went in for lunch. Seating outside as well as inside. Good customer service. Greeted once you walk in. All around nice little BBQ place.

Great soft and nicely cooked burnt ends. Coleslaw is a nice sweet one.
I kind of hate leaving this review, but it feels necessary given the experience I had and how far off it seems to the prevailing opinions here.
I stopped in around 3 PM and ordered burnt ends with a side of Mac and baked beans.
The people in the restaurant were kind and welcoming, the ambiance is definitely in line with what I'd expect at a no-frills BBQ joint, and the baked beans were sincerely delicious.
Unfortunately, the burnt ends were bland and very dry/tough, and the Mac and cheese was similarly disappointing.
I'm not sure if I had a bad experience due to the day of the week or time of day, or if most of the reviewers here just haven't had much genuinely good BBQ, but this fell well short of my expectations based on the restaurant's rating.
Especially disappointed because this is very close to my new home and it would have been wonderful to have a good BBQ spot around the corner, but I just can't imagine going back.

I’m not sure what to say about this, the first time that I went here I came with my son and it was excellent. The owner had given me a taste of some of the brisket, even though I had ordered a sandwich. At that time, I thought it was pretty exceptional.
Today, however, I went with a friend and I must say the burnt ends were dry and not very tasty. Likewise, the brisket was looked like yesterday’s brisket, dry, and not juicy, overall I would say that I was disappointed.
Your mileage may vary, but I thought I probably won’t be back.
I can honestly say the one thing that I really like about this place is their sauces, they are vibrant and taste good. However, I’m not sure if that overcomes the rest of the food experience.
The food is delicious and it comes out fast. The woman at the counter was also really nice. The parking is free and there's plenty of it between the parking lot for this restaurant and the parking lot for the grocery store behind it. There is indoor seating ;no outdoor seating.
The one thing I wish was better was the portion sizes for the sides. You're paying $3+ for a side and they come in a pretty small container -- and my collard greens container was half full of water. The food is delicious, I just wish you got a little more for your $.

Sign me up as yet another fan of this BBQ joint. This place was noticably small, so clearly it was meant for a goblin such as myself to enjoy it.
The place does look pricey, but once you get your food, you will notice this stuff is all well worth the price. You get quite the plate when it comes rolling out.
Every order has sides and a dessert (or an additional side if you're shameless), so you get yourself stocked full pretty well. I do recommend the custard pie, it's sinfully delicious.
Even with the small room to sit (they literally have like 5 tables in the joint), the service is still quick and quite friendly. The meats are smoky and delicious, too. The pork was so soft, with crispy bits. They do rely on you to sauce your own meats, and they make their own selection, too. So get saucy.
Vegetarian options: I mean, coleslaw is pretty good.
