DO NOT ORDER THE BEEF RIBS! Beef ribs are a family favorite so we tend to try them anytime we see them on the menu. I should have been tipped off by the reasonably low price. What we received (take out order) was a stack of bones with the silverskin and bbq sauce, nothing else. No meat at all... not good. If we had been dining in I would have requested my money back. Everything else we ordered was ok. Good for satisfying a bbq fix but definitely wouldn't win any cook offs. read more

Been wanting a bbq fix for a while. Heard good things about this place and happened to walk by. My wife and I love it!

Great BBQ to pick up or dine in Got the sampler to make everyone happy. They do a great job packing food and giving plenty of BBQ sauce with take out order. Good size portions and things reheat well read more

Brothers BBQ, Steven tonight on the phone had a wonderful disposition and was very helpful on my crazy lady BBQ sauce request, please give him a shout out! Thank you for being a Colorado staple Brothers. read more

I ordered the ribs and my husband had the brisket sandwich. For sides, we got macaroni and cheese, cornbread, beans, and coleslaw. We ordered online for pickup and they threw in hot links, which we appreciated. Everything was delicious and tasted pretty healthy for BBQ. I would like to try the tofu at some point. Overall, it was a good experience and we will come back when we have another BBQ craving! read more

Excellent bbq. They have beef ribs and they are great!!! Also had the pork ribs (solid), brisket (excellent) and sausage (good). Will definitely be back. Dude behind the counter was super friendly as well. read more

We have now ordered delivery three times and all three times are missing French fries. What the hell?

This place has lost its fastball, to say the least. It was never my favorite BBQ outfit, but it was, once upon a time, undeniably good. Sort of the Eli Manning of Denver barbeque, no one was going to argue it was the best, nor that it was below average. Nowadays, it's below average, maybe worse than that. You simply can't put millennials that don't give a f*%k in charge of a smoker, pay them $12 an hour, and have that work out. So no surprise. Good or bad, barbecue is never cheap, so with the diminished quality comes poor value. Cross this once-upon-a-time worthwhile stop off your list. read more

Ok, I was jonesing for some ol' skool hood BBQ, and had to drive to a part of the Denver area, where I was told its the not sooo good side, and I should stay out of that area. Im glad I dont follow and listen to anybody and everybody. I had the smoked 1/2 pound beef brisket and 2- sides mac n cheese and potato salad, and my buddy from Chicago had the smoked hot links and pork ribs...everything in our baskets hit da spot! Its not in any place I would describe as bad neighborhood or location. Jus a hood LOL! a neighborhood.The food was very good and you get too choose the sauce from their regular to their hot stuff! Good ALL AROUND place too eat! read more

Here in Denver I think we're hard pressed for good BBQ. I like the Carolina Vinegar w/ Slaw on the top BBQ. We've searched high and low for years ! While Brothers isn't as authentic as what you will find in South Carolina, it *is* the closest we've come in Colorado. When you're looking for good BBQ in Denver, this is the place to come ! read more

I ordered online yesterday, during the dinner rush. Picked up my order and it wasn't right, 2 orders with the same name. Staff called me to let me know before I was more than a couple blocks away. When I got back, they went above and beyond in their efforts to make it right. When we finally had the opportunity to eat, I was not disappointed by the food. Experience wasn't perfect, but the handling of the honest mistake was. I have loved this place for years and this is the first time anything ever went wrong out of 75+ visits. I was incredibly impressed with the staff before, now even more so. I have worked in restaurants for 24 years and have never seen better customer service over a simple mistake. read more

I got the tofu sandwich with a side of potato salad and it certainly hit the spot. All their sauces were great. My friend got the burnt ends, pulled pork sandwich, and mac and cheese (which was yummy) and it was all good. The order came out super fast! read more

In high school Latin class I learned about two classical rhetorical devices that come to mind when telling you about my lunch at Brothers BBQ, today . . . Imagine that I was hitch hiking and was dropped off near the corner of Leetsdale and Monaco at about noon. Imagine that I'm hungry, and that there are few restaurant choices in the neighborhood. Imagine that I decide to go into Brothers for some BBQ. Here's what might be said about my lunchtime experience (and if you can name the 2 rhetorical devices used below, it's worth a lunch at one of Denver's best BBQ joints for you) (either Yazoo's or Boney's:): "I'm not saying that only people who don't have cars and who find themselves starving while right outside the door of Brothers BBQ are the only people who should think about eating there. What I guess I am saying is that this is certainly not the worst BBQ you could find on Leetsdale." (This contest ends after the first winner submits his/her answer, or 1 year from now, whichever occurs sooner:). Sign me, :-David "Trebek" M. read more

I've eaten at several of the Brothers' locations, as well as this one, several times and it has always been good, although somewhat pricey. *I had to come back and change my review as of early 2015. Sadly after I raved about the beef ribs, the train went off the tracks. 3x now in the past 6 months I've gone back to get some beef ribs and every time there has barely been any meat on the bone, and none of these visits were on their rib special night. Their price for beef ribs isn't cheap so I was massively disappointed to get home, open up my dinner to find the ribs looking like someone had already had a go at them & then were put back in the smoker. First time, I thought it was just an off night, & didn't go back for any until a few months later, only to get home and find them again quiet bare. So I let a few more months go thinking they had to be back to the giant meaty ribs they used to have that made me slather an overzealous review of love, but nope. The people that work here are super nice and even though my rib situation has sucked, they have continued to have wonderful people working here. The sandwich and rib deal only come with a side the size of a Dixie cup which is also a let down with the cost. The location is a bit tricky since it is on a small slice of space on a very busy intersection that is typically backed up in all directions. Coming in a little later in dinner time is a good bet. There's a few other BBQ places within range now so unfortunately Brothers has moved further down my list. :( read more

I got their signature sandwich, "The Brother." The BBQ was absolutely knocked out of the park, and it's just a hell of a sandwich-- smoked pork links (with just the right amount of kick) under a pile of deliciously juicy pulled pork, topped with creamy coleslaw, jalapeños, and grilled onions. Absolutely delicious. They have four individual sauces that sport an impressive array of flavor, too. The only downside I have is that I was severely disappointed by their sides. Incredibly tiny cup, and the mac 'n cheese that I got looked and tasted like it was from a Kraft microwaveable bowl. Very disappointed, but I will definitely be back to try some of their other sides. Overall, a very delicious find that I'm incredibly glad I stumbled across. read more

Brothers BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Denver, Colorado

We've lived like a mile away from this place for 4 yrs and never tried it. Well we finally did during this quarantine and it is pretty damn good! Good service and good portions for the price as well. read more

Just had the most awesome burnt ends, ribs, mashed potatoes and gravy and baked beans! Whoever's cooking today gets 5 stars!!

I spent $75 at this place and no napkins, plastic ware, plates, or customer service. I will NOT be returning to this place! They didn't even greet me when I came in. This place blows! read more

Food was good. However, had to waste money ordering through door dash because they have no phone in store it seems. called over 15 times, went straight to line busy and hung up. If i order pick up it says it will take 60 minutes to be ready yet my door dash is only 45 minutes. Dont understand why i cant call an order in to pick up on my way home read more

Stopped in for some bbq for dinner as I was traveling for work. Friendly service. Excellent brisket by the pound and good Cole slaw with 6 bbq sauces to choose from. Nicer side than outside with a flat screen a few tables. Great choice for a low carb dinner! read more

The ribs are great, but they take NO responsibility for their errors. We ordered 2 half slabs through Uber Eats, and Brothers BBQ packed only ONE half slab. When we called to complain, the woman on duty REFUSED to credit us, telling us to take it up with Uber. Uber didn't pack the order, Brothers did! We will file a formal complaint with our credit card company. Be careful ordering, because Brothers does not care if they get it right. read more

Ribs were not what I expected it to be they were room temp, although they were tender it didn't have that flare I was looking for, slaw was tasty but the baked beans thumbs down and the sauce can use some tweeking. I wish that the Hot links were gold star, there's had a bitter taste. staff was pleasant read more

Ordered three meals from Brothers today. Each meal had side of potato salad and baked beans. The brisket tasted like it had been boiled and the hot link had a weird texture. The baked beans were soupy and the white-colored potato salad tasted like mashed potatoes and mayo. The sauces were bland. Our meals were pretty much inedible and after several bites, we decided to trash it. We will never order from this place again! If anyone knows of a decent BBQ place, I'm listening.#NoBrother read more

We asked for lean brisket, and received fatty brisket. We did not realize this until we opened the package at our home. At $21 per pound we have an expectation that we should not have to police the order at the point of pickup. We live close by in Crestmoor, however we will not be making a return trip to this establishment. So much for investor driven barbeque. read more

They food was really good, everything was fresh and the cornbread was slamming. The reason why I can't give 5 stars was the tiny little barbecue sauce that was given with my meal. I ordered brisket and hot links and the little cup of bbq was barely just enough. Otherwise, I would definitely eat here again and I hope the food/service is consistent! read more

All I really need to say is they don't own a smoker. But let me just also add that the food was not good at all. Ribs were a no go was struggling to figure out when they were cooked, the "brisket"was shredded pot roast and the sides were gross, check my photo of the mashed potatoes. read more

Can't believe two young man open up the barbecue place and cannot invest in Wi-Fi for the patrons. I hope they could invest ...

Very poor service. The young girl that was working was very passive aggressive towards me. She let us know what sides were open she says the only part that was not open was the middle of the restaurant and then when I sat in the side that she said to sit, I sat there. Then said that we had to move. She said it was very obvious that it was closed on that side which she had pointed out that it was open and I had even asked her several times and she said yes that side is open. So I again asked where exactly did she wanted my family to sit she pointed to one table at the corner and continued to go on about. She brought our food had the condiments in the left hand along with the food and almost smacked me in the face with it. She totally did it purposely. She placed the condiments right in my face as well. My food came cold. I wasn't happy at all. I will be talking to management tomorrow. I will NEVER visit this place again. Rude horrible service. read more

I have to hit this place up every time I pass there Denver. We always get the double sampler platter. It says it will feed 4-6 I believe- but I would say 4 because you can't stop eating it. The original and hot bbq sauces are my personal favorites. read more

Service was terrible, I understand if you're busy but not acknowledging and telling me to keep waiting is not good service didn't even eat my food so I couldn't tell you about the taste read more

Yes, my friend, yes to the bbq! Melt in your mouth goodness. Wanna drag the summer out for one more month, who's your daddy bbq~ That's what I'm talking about. Good meat, good sauce, almost deviant. Love my sauce - the tangy vinegar was f'n awesome. Everyone had been telling me about this bbq for years and today t was verifiable. ummmhmmm read more

The service suck, no labels to know what kind of bbq sauce they have. Asked for brisket and got pulled pork.very cover cooked ribs.

nothing to write home about. We used grubhub to order from here a couple weeks ago. I gotta say, this was our first time ordering and I was super unimpressed. I'd take Dickys BBQ over Brothers anyday. And the prices are pretty comparable. We got chicken and pork, and sides of potato salad, mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. Everything was bland. The potato salad was flavorless. The mashed potatoes were prob the only thing I truly liked out of the side dishes. I don't know..maybe someday ill give em another shot but there are plenty of other bbq joints I'd eat at first. read more

I have been searching for barbecue like this for half my life: meat that virtually falls apart, is bursting with flavor even before you put the sauce on it, doesn't cost an arm and a leg, and close to home or work. I found it today at the corner of Monaco and Leetsdale (thanks Sherri S!). And to think, I've been working two blocks away for almost half a year and didn't know about this place. I feel like Dorothy in the land of Oz ... this whole time I could have clicked my heels three times and walked my ass over to Brothers for some serious barbecue! The first thing that came to mind when I saw my two-meats plate at Brothers BBQ was "beautiful, this is just beautiful." Perfectly cooked beef brisket and very nice hot links. The cole slaw side is worth it, as are the baked beans. The hot links could have been improved with just a little searing, but otherwise they were quite enjoyable. You get your choice of sauces at this, the original location. Hot, Sweet, Original, Tart, and one or two others I don't remember. I was going to try all of them, but I pretty much stopped at Original; there was no need to go any further. I also want to point out that you can order "just one rib." Thank you Chris Rock. I'm already jonesing for meat as I write this, so I think I know where I'll be eating lunch tomorrow. They have parking but the spaces are a little tight. It's also nearly impossible to make a left turn out of there any time close to rush hour (I don't know how Sherri did it). The layout is a tad crazy, soda machine and utensils tucked in the corner right by the counter; it feels crowded there but spare once you sit at a table. Don't go for the ambiance, anyway, just the awesome barbecue. read more

This is the mothership, ground zero for two British brother's take on Kansas City 'que. Brother's BBQ started their mini empire here. It's a hole in the wall at the corner of Leetsdale & Monaco, in what must have been a service station in the past. Next door is a check cashing operation if you need an advance to cover your meal. Today, I ordered something different. Tried the hot links on a bun, with a side of slaw. The doesn't have that vinegar tang I prefer, so minus one subjective star. Hot links with a bit of their original sauce hit the spot. It was a soggy, sloppy mess, but delish! My usual is the beef brisket. Their dry smoke method, with bits of burnt ends can't be beat. The setting is early garage, with lot's auto, bike, etc. memorabilia on the walls & ceiling. Today's unexpected treat was a little amuse bouche, Brothers-style: a small side of their beans. Very tasty! Now this is my personal, uninformed opinion of their offering. I've tried Good's in Houston, and actually prefer this one. read more

These guys came over from England to learn about the art of barbecue. They trained in KC, then decided to open up shop in Denver about a decade ago. As a Kansas City girl, I'm a barbecue snob, I'll admit it. Five stars would have happened if there'd been burnt ends on the menu. However, finding burnt ends outside KC is probably wishful thinking. Give me a moment while I weep softly in the corner. Right then. I had the brisket sandwich with fries. I slapped some of their original sauce on everything and was pretty impressed. Not only was the meat tender, but the sauce was tangy, the bun was good, and the fries were spectacular. My husband tried the pork with sweet mustard and liked it, but I don't think he's going to necessarily shoot for the mustard again in the future. We went in the late afternoon on a weekday and there weren't more than five or six guys in there (it kind of had the same vibe as Oklahoma Joe's, if you happen to be from KC). However, parking was a nightmare. That lot is a joke. I was ready to pull out and skip the whole thing until some jackass thoroughly pissed me off, but was kind enough to leave a spot available. Oh yeah! I almost forgot because I got too wound up about the parking situation! There were a few staples missing from the restaurant itself, namely toothpicks, wet wipes, and mints. These things are key. They're tools of the trade. Next time I go, I intend to bring my own and hand them out as gifts. read more

My fiancés father is moving back from Ecuador and hasn't had BBQ in over a year. We are all originally from Texas and were looking for a good BBQ place in Denver since we haven't been here long. I have mixed emotions about this place. The location is horrible and the parking lot is ridiculous!!! Very dangerous getting in and out of. It's super steep and very small. No room for error here. Inside the building it was very hot. They apparently don't cook the brisket ahead of time because it took a long time to get the food and we were the first people in line. I felt bad for the 6 people behind us. In Texas they smoke it all day or night usually so it's ready to go when ordered. It shouldn't take more than a few min to bag it up. When I asked for the sauce on the side they seemed like they've never heard of that before and say once they put it on the grill without sauce it dries it out. I was confused why it would be going on the grill if it's already cooked but we took our chances because we don't like a ton of sauce. Luckily it wasn't overly dry or moist really. It just.....was. Second of all they're very expensive!!! 65.00 for 3 lbs of brisket (they only offer chopped not sliced), 8 slices of sausage (not pieces or links, literally 8 small slices which is supposed to be two orders I guess since that's what I asked for at $3 each) and 1 small French fry order. That didn't include buns either. Those are extra which is ludicrous. Absolutely ridiculous. For that much money I expected the food to be insanely delicious. It was very mediocre at best. We got it to go and once we got home it was still warm. That was a bonus. I would've probably given it more stars but the customer service wasn't that great either. I doubt we will be back. Not enough pros to outweigh the cons. read more

Ordered the Sampler pack which was wayyyy over priced ($35). came with these tiny foil packages of chicken,beef,pork, and 5 ribs. Literally the foil packages the meat came in were the size of a pack of cigarettes. The meat was okay (nothing to brag about). The worst part was that they only gave 2 tiny 1/2 ounce sample cups of BBQ sauce. The mac and cheese was bland (needed salt) and the potato salad was bulk king soopers straight out the carton stuff. The food overall was 3 stars I am giving this place 1 star because of the service. The guy who took my order was very rude. They had Bruno Mars blasting on the speakers so I could barely hear anything said. I changed my order and the guy rolled his eyes at me (I guess to him this was a huge inconvenience even though I was literally the only customer in the building) And proceeded to talk about me in Spanish (He thought I couldn't understand) I will never go here again. I was hoping to get a nice easy family meal on a Monday night but instead got mediocre expensive food and bad attitude. read more

All of their meat is pretty tasty but what sets them apart in my eyes is the hot link sandwich with onions and pickles. They have 4 different sauces. I like the regular one that comes on everything but it has a lot of celery seed in the sauce and it can be a bit overwhelming after a while. I went there last night because I really wanted some of their banana pudding and they were out!. I can't hold that against them though. read more

I have had Brother's BBQ catered for lunch before and it's one of my favorites. My husband has just started to love BBQ too, so we were really happy to see the Denver Perks coupon the other day. My stars go for the hot links and the BBQ sauces. I took the dare as it states on the menu to try the hot sauce with the hot link and I loved it, although my lips were burning for some time after! So, needless to say, the hot BBQ sauce is my fave. I also really like the vinegar sauce on the pork. The Carolina mustard is tasty too, I like it on the hot link. I like the hot link because it is thinly sliced then grilled. All the other hot links I've had are just a big grilled sausage. This makes for crispy little pieces of deliciousness. I do not like the ribs, they are too smoky for my taste. I like to taste the meat, not just smoke. The pork shoulder is juicy and very tasty. It's very tender. I wish there were more sides. The slaw is good, potato salad and mac & cheese are pretty average. I tried the seasonal corn on the cob and it had no flavor, very bland. The bread you get on the side is a lightly grilled hamburger bun, really. The service was great. Very polite and helpful. The man behind the counter was very knowledgeable on the menu and sauces. I heard one guy joking with him about how he must have never eaten a meal there! read more
