First time dining here after many years of coming up to Gunnison. First strike is it is a walk up and order joint. I don't like these because you are under pressure to decide what you want as well as those with you as a line forms behind you. Sit down with menu lets you review the options so you get what you want. The food? It was a medium "OK". Do not get the Mac N Cheese. It has something added that takes away any cheese flavor. It is over priced for what it is. And it is served in a jar! Three meals totaled well over $77 with drinks and a slice of bland cheese cake. Also tipping should be added AFTER the meal. Not at the register prior to getting the meal. You don't know what you are getting and the tip should be able reflect that. Have cash to tip and make your decision on how much. After the lowest amount of tip selected it came out to $96 for the three meals. That was the cost to find out I will never be going back. BBQ should have flavor. This missed the mark. Again, avoid the Mac N Cheese. Kraft Cheese and shells would have been an improvement. Just letting you know before you shell out your money. Staff was friendly. read more

On my back from the western slope of Colorado, I stopped in Gunnison for dinner. Gunnison is a college town for Western Colorado University, so I expected lots of pizza shops. Then I found 5B's with a pink color scheme and a large American flag. They have a nice menu of BBQ standards with sandwiches and burgers. Full bar with a range of beers. An adjacent patio with unbrellas was next to garage doors. You can get full service at the bar. Otherwise, order at the counter, get a table sign and your order will be delivered to you. Good prices, 2 meats & 2 sides for $20. Generous portions. I got a Tangerine Blonde draft to start. Then beef brisket and pulled pork with baked beans, fried okra and a cheddar biscuit. I added a wonderful Strawberry Spinach salad. read more

BBQ is okay but portions are light given the prices. Also not much smoke in the meat. The place is not kept clean. Outside tables were dirty and so is the floor. The woman who took my order was grumpy. read more

Great BBQ and we came in on a Tuesday which is rib day at $2/rib which lead to us getting a rack. It's me, my spouse and daughter and we added two 16oz side and it filled us up with leftovers. The bake beans and coleslaw are both home made and yummy! Service was good, its walk up style. Full bar if that interest you. Nice outdoors area. read more

Absolutely delicious! The perfect stop before getting on the road back from Created Butte to Denver. The meat was tender, delicious, and unsauced...allowing you to taste the meat first and then enjoy your level of sauciness. The okra and potato salad are wonderful. Even the ice in the soda fountain is good! Fast, friendly, and freaking delicious. read more

5 B's BBQ - Ribs, sausage, brisket, okra, and potato salad - Barbeque Near Me - Gunnison, Colorado

Driving down 285 there isn't much to choose from but in Gunnison there are a bunch of options. We stopped here since it was right on the main road. It does have a couple tables on the patio very open concept. Not a ton of parking. You order at the front counter, then take the number back to your table. The menu has great options and is reasonably price for a town. I opted for the pulled pork sandwich and the smoked mac & cheese. I was surprised that mac & cheese is an up charge and considered to be a premium side. Not as many side options as I'd hoped to choose from. The food was under season and a little lackluster. Neighborhood spot but not somewhere I would go again if I was driving through. My friend got a burger, which was undercooked in the middle and when she brought it up to the server at the bar, he took it back and didn't offer to remake or refund her meal. read more

Do NOT eat here, the service is ok, but the prices are actually insane. For 3 ribs it's 17.00!!! And the whole place is pink. Just save your time and money and go somewhere else everything is extremely overpriced and the food isn't that good either. read more

Service was good, friendly people working when I was there. There is enough room for a good size party in case that's what you're looking for. My son liked his pulled pork sandwich but my meal was just ok. Their soda machine serves the good ice and that in itself deserves compliments... drink ice snobs know. read more

Soooo good!! To hard to pick a favorite!! So friendly and such a hometown vibe! Watch a game or bring you fam!

Came in on Memorial Day. Cut kids chicken strip up and was completely raw. They just refried it and sent it back in pieces. Also my wife's pork ribs were raw too. Came here several times before, unfortunate to get some much raw food on one take. Won't be returning again after this experience. It wasn't even busy, we were the only ones there. read more

Stopped for lunch. Rib plate had 5 bones, great flavor and tender with Beans and bread. Side of potato saild was good but over priced. Coke over priced too. Small parking lot or street. read more

5 B's BBQ - Rib plate, beams, toast and a side. $23. Good! - Barbeque Near Me - Gunnison, Colorado

Driving through town and stopped on impulse--meats were delicious, moist, dry rub seasoned, sweet sauce on the table. Served with pickled onions, fresh pickles, jalapeño slices. Potato salad and coleslaw were fabulous, mixed together by a chef with a palate for tangy and saucy. And that homemade strawberry-rhubarb pie was a dream! read more

Incredible service and food. Informative and went out of his way to be helpful. This is a Colorado owned and bread business! It's run the way a restaurant business should be run! read more

Brisket and potato salad were awesome. Coleslaw was a bit lacking. First time here, I'll be back

The ambiance is less than desired. The front door was open and there were many flies. I was so disappointed in the smoked macaroni and cheese - couldn't taste any cheddar and, for me, it was very unappetizing. My husband's meat plate was average. Service was good. Can't believe this place has so many stars. They need to keep their doors closed to keep the flies out as it is awful to have to keep shooing them away. Not gonna go back. read more

Good food, good drinks, mountain town prices, and they have a kids night on Thursday so if that's a bonus or something to avoid, it was a bit crazy. read more

If you're headed to Black Canyon of the Gunnison from Denver you're probably going to get hungry along the way, and in the event that that does happen, you should probably stop at this BBQ place because it hits all the marks and is overall a pretty awesome spot. Plenty of parking, plenty of seating, super clean inside, a friendly crew, decent prices and everything we tried was delicious. Ii hadn't been before and kind of wanted to sample a lot of things so I just ordered a plate with a variety of their meats. Some brisket, chicken, sausages, pulled pork and a single rib. Everything was on point, and I'd order it all again, but the rib really stood out. They had em on special for $1.50 per rib, and I ordered it as an afterthought but it turned out to be the best thing on the plate. Perfectly smoky and literally fell complete off the bone with no effort at all. Fantastic. Long story short, this is exactly what you should expect from a good BBQ joint and you can rest assured that if you stop in you'll be pleased with the food. Would return for sure if in the area again. 5 stars. read more

5 B's BBQ - We had brisket on the nachos and the Stuckey Shaker is quite unique. Had to get it and it is good. Nachos are top nach-o! - Barbeque Near Me - Gunnison, Colorado

I went here twice in 3 days in Gunnison. The first day I ordered the taternater. It was a loaded potato with cole slaw, pulled pork and barbecue sauce. The pulled port in particular was excellent. The next day I ordered the 3 meat combo meal that came with beans, cornbread and another side and I chose fries. The chicken was great, brisket a little fatty but good flavor and the sausage was good. The beans were good but could have used maybe some Barbeque sauce and red pepper maybe. The Barbeque sauce tasted like some of the sauces you get in KC (tomato based with sugar and garlic) but the ones I like best also have a touch of red pepper. Overall all really good. I would recommend a little bit of red pepper in bbq sauce, beans and sausage and it would have been 5 stars. Recommended if you like Barbeque! read more

I hardly ever write reviews, unless a place really impresses me-- well this place did! I'm from St. Louis, so I know what I'm talking about when it comes to bbq. The ribs and brisket were fantastic, a little fatty but so flavorful. The smoked Mac, 10 stars, and even the coleslaw, an easy but staple in bbq, beautifully simple. Even the cornbread was moist and came with a heavenly cinnamon butter, the perfect "sweet treat" to end the meal. Most places out in Colorado have good meat or good sides, not both-- this place does! I wish I didn't live so far, this would be a staple spot for me. Plus it was under $30 for 2 meat 2 sides and a beer. Keep it up guys! read more

Always stop here when we're passing through. Best bbq around. Always stop here when we're passing through. Best bbq around.

The picturs looked good, but that was the only good thing about it. Super dry meats, like super dry. The sides onion rings... Greasy, cold no flavor. Texas toast was a joke, it was just cold bread that was lightly toasted. It will make you sick to your stomach a few hours after. Spent about 100 with a good tip. They forgot a few things in the order unfortunately. It used to be good, but now it's just below mid. I wouldn't recommend. read more

Barbecue was great! Avoid the desserts. Overpriced, not good, and very small. Wine was good, but served in miniature glasses so not worth $9 each. read more

Stopped here in our way through Gunninson and I'm really glad we stumbled upon this small gem. The BBQ here was awesome, I got the Beef Brisket combo and the food came out quick and was awesome. The meat was excellent; the beans were good, and so were the fries. If I had to knock this place the only slight negative was I wish they put a little more meat on their sandwich but it was really really good! read more

As soon as you walk up to 5 B's BBQ you're greeted by the delicious smell of their smoked meats. The friendly staff suggested their most popular item: The Tatornator. It was piled high with just about everything but the combo of brisket and coleslaw really puts it over the top. Highly rated too is their basket of wings. Simple yet perfectly cooked with that homemade BBQ sauce. Definitely easy to spot in town and a great place for a meal. read more
