Food was good, but I think it was just a one time thing.
We paid $25 for the three meat combo plate, and it was kind of disappointing when receiving it. You get a small handful of fries and my Mac and cheese cup looked half empty. It was skimpyyy! You get like half a polish sausage and 4 pieces of brisket. I was sharing it, but getting two burgers for the same price would have been better. You get more pulled pork in the sandwich than the combo plate.
The food was good, but it wasn’t too crazy. The Dr. pepper and mango habanero were really good sauces! It was alright.

Terrible experience. The man at the counter — who I believe is the owner — acted like he had a problem with me from the moment I walked in. Cold, rude, and full of attitude. The way he looked at me felt personal and honestly racist.
I left angry and uncomfortable. I’ll never go back, and I hope people see what kind of place this really is.
*UPDATE
decided to go back since the quality wasn't necessarily bad. Second time around the brisket was much better. They could've had an off day when I came or just the cut that I received wasn't the best. But on my second time coming the brisket was much much better. Highly recommend updating to 5 stars
I wanna start this review off by saying I am a brisket connoseoir and I have extremely high expectations when it comes to brisket... I've had from The truth Barbeque in Houston Texas all the way up to blackwood and smoques in Chicago.
I think the main takeaway from this place was the value and the sauces. The prices inside are cheaper than what you see online don't let the online prices deter you from coming like It did me for a while. The brisket I will be honest was maybe a touch or two better than average. The pieces I had didn't have much bark if any. The flavor alright I think the sauces are what made the dish stand out. The side dish was very good and something different chipotle cheese fries are definitely recommended. Overall I think we are lucky to have this place local as it's a great place that serves pretty decent barbeque at a price locals can afford. Your platters will cost about what you find in most other places but they have the competition beat with the sandwich prices and the sides too. Would recommend definitely coming back for lunch

I am a corn bread connoisseur. Today I was able to try Bobos cornbread. It came highly recommended. This cornbread is delectable, moist, sweet, fluffy. Everything cornbread should be. Thank you Bobos bbq

Great for many years in the past, so I won’t leave one star.
but today will be the last visit.
Friday at lunch hour you say you’re unavailable to make my order, after I wait in the drive through and repeat my order to you twice, and not to mention you’d just finished taking the orders of two customers infront of me. Not to mention the patrons eating inside. No explanation further than that, and wasted my lunch hour during work so I go without a meal. Won’t be returning.

This place is great. Great specials, good brisket and good sauces. BUT what you need to know is that bobos has a sleeper menu item that is phenomenal. They are a bbq place but they serve an incredible triple steak burger with hand cut fries. Literally one of the best burgs in CU. Great bbq, but get the burger too - so good. Regular lunch spot for me!!
