The ribs were meaty, tender, juicy, and NOT overcooked. They had an aromatic smoky flavor too! There were at least 5 BBQ sauces to choose from, I liked the Sweet and Spicey myself. If you want Texas style BBQ Ribs you can't go wrong at Brad's Pit BBQ. Of course, they offer brisket, sausages, pulled pork and more. I had two sides w/my meal, the BBQ beans were delicious, coleslaw was okay. BTW Brad's is next door to Locavore Beer Works so if you don't want to take your BBQ home you can go next door, order any of a multitude of craft beers and they will deliver your food to your table. I liked the Mexican Lager. Great service, great staff and great food and drink! One can't go wrong at either of these businesses.

I am not sure why this BBQ restaurant has such high reviews. Overpriced cold food. The chicken was…read moreseasoned well, however the skin was rubbery. The beans tasted exactly like Bushes from a can. The Mac n cheese was cold, dry and had no cheese on it... it was basically buttered noodles. I hope this was just an off day, however Colorado isn't known for having the best BBQ out there. Very disappointed. Not a good meal at all and I feel like I wasted money. I am giving 2 stars because the gentleman assisting was very friendly. When I asked for a recommendation for a side, he hesitated and didn't sound too sure of his answer.

While it's a counter-order kind of place, there's a big empty room in the building right outside the restaurant where you can eat. There's even cornhole to play in the meantime! While I'm a bit biased since my mother in law is the family friend of one of the owner's relatives (we all chatted for a bit), the service was great and quick. It's worth the drive further from Denver!

A quick google search for "dog friendly patios" led us here - and boy howdy I am sooooo glad it did! I love good smoked meats and Rusty Tapp hit the nail square on the head. Everything we had was fantastic, including the service. When the server asked if we wanted pup cups for the dogs, of course we said yes, but were so surprised to see that the dogs got to enjoy a little cup of plain smoked brisket. They each gave the pup cups 5 stars. We have a friend who is celiac, so we frequently as about gluten free options anywhere we go. Our server gave a very detailed and precise answer about the menu, what was available, and mentioned the shared fryer which was so appreciated and makes it easier for our friend to feel more comfortable trying a new place. The patio is couple of tables out front, but the traffic wasn't busy, it's not loud, and we had a nice night out. We've added this spot to our list of places to return to!

Fantastic New BBQ Spot - Highly Recommend!…read more I tried this new BBQ place for the first time and it absolutely did not disappoint. From the moment I took my first bite, it was clear they know what they're doing. The ribs and brisket were both outstanding -- incredibly tender, juicy, and fresh with that perfect smoky flavor. You can tell the meat is high quality and cooked with care. Their house-made sauces are next-level. I tried both the spicy and the sweet. The sweet was solid, but the spicy stole the show. It has a real kick, but the heat never overwhelms -- it actually enhances the deep, complex flavor. The balance is perfect. The sides were just as impressive. The mac n' cheese was creamy and rich, and the beans were packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. Overall, this place is the real deal. If you love quality BBQ with great sauce options and solid sides, do yourself a favor and go check it out. I'll definitely be back soon!

I'm sure it's pretty tough to make these as tender as they were, but I was very happy with the results. I also had the pulled pork which was juicy and delicious and the brisket, which is always great. What may have impressed me the most was the grits. I also highly recommend going there on a weekend to get their three dollar Sammie. Don't think you'll beat that price anywhere for a solid amount of meat.

Went recently to have a birthday lunch for a friend. We both tried the real McCoy sandwich and…read moreeverything from the customer service to the food was just ok. The employee taking orders didn't know much about the sides (when my friend asked about the beans he just showed them to him instead of explaining what they have in them or if he likes them). I asked about the grits and another employee had to chime in that they were good. We both ordered the combo which includes a drink and side. We waited for a while for our food and went in after a while to see if everything was ready. They seemed flustered and told us the food would be right out. Granted there were a few people ahead of us but less than 5 total. The real McCoy sandwich was REAL dry. It comes with burnt ends and the bison green Chile and cheddar sausage (used to have pork as well) and their regular or buffalo sauce helped but not enough to overcome the dryness of the meats. The andouille & corn grits were fine as well. The sausage gives it a nice pop but the grits were more like potatoes in consistency. The best part was the Boylans ginger ale. Bummed Roaming Buffalo wasn't what I had previously. May come back but with other BBQ options it may be a while.

The service is fast and impeccable, the food is delicious and filling, and we highly recommend this establishment at Dry Creek and University ... near the ARC.

I'm someone who really appreciates proper barbecue, the kind where you smell smoke before you even…read moreopen the door, where brisket is juicy and tender, and burnt ends are rich, smoky, and melt in your mouth. That's what you expect when you're paying barbecue prices. Sadly, none of that showed up here. The brisket and burnt ends were the biggest disappointment. Instead of having that dark bark and beautiful smoke ring you expect from meat that's been smoked low and slow, everything looked gray and lifeless. There was no smoke flavor, no seasoning, and worst of all, the meat was dry. Not slightly dry, but the kind where you need sauce just to get it down. Burnt ends are usually the highlight of a barbecue meal, crispy outside with juicy, tender meat inside. These were just dry chunks with no caramelization or flavor payoff. The sausage didn't help things either. Overall, nothing about the meal felt homemade or smoked. It felt mass produced and rushed, missing the flavor and texture that make barbecue special in the first place. What made the experience even worse is the price. Spending around $40 on a pound of meat, expecting quality barbecue, and getting dry, bland food instead. For that price, you expect memorable barbecue, not something you regret ordering halfway through the meal. The food was so disappointing that I ended up throwing most of it away and going somewhere else afterward just to get a decent meal. That's something I almost never do, especially after paying premium prices.

Got the pulled pork and brisket - the classics judged in every BBQ competition. Everything was overdone, bland, and dry. No smoke. No bark on the brisket.

There are many BBQ places in Denver, I'd pass on this one and look elsewhere.
