I go to Gque pretty often and it never disappoints. I always love the vibe and 90's music. The food is great and today I had the dry rub wings and the seasoned fries. The wings are always excellent. The rub they use has a ton of flavor and the blue cheese has the perfect amount of tang. The seasoned fries are the best I've ever had and I order them everytime I eat here. The service is always fast and the employees are always kind to me. My favorite bbq place in Denver, no question.

Love the new location in Thornton! The interior is separated into a bar, an ice cream counter, and a counter or order food. You can order food and drinks at the same counter as well- they have an amazing happy hour with $1 coors and $12 pork nachos m-f 2-5pm. Love the nachos- they have a great ratio of cheese to chip, a decent pile of meat, and lots of fresh ingredients. The pulled pork sandwich was good too- the slaw adds a nice sweet crunch. They had 3 different bbq sauces- original, hotish, and a Carolina mustard sauce. Hotish wasn't hot so much as it tasted earthy, like peppers without the heat. Original was excellent though. Was not expecting to be so wowed by the ice cream- I got the cookie dough and the salted caramel Oreo. Some places the cookie dough is just chunks of flavorless dough, but here it actually tastes like cookie dough! And it has plenty of chunks of cookie dough in every bite. The salted caramel Oreo also had a good salt flavor- not too much, just enough to make it different. Service was very friendly, and everyone was very patient. I especially appreciated the guy at the ice cream counter who talked me through the flavors and was patient as I tried a ton before making my decision. Also, be sure to sign up for their rewards program on their website, as you get a free sandwich! Highly highly recommend and we will be back.

Went there on 11/26/25. Went got there around 5pm. It was the day before Thanksgiving so it was very busy. Like us, nobody else wanted to cook at home. When we got there they were out of turkey and brisket. Then while we were there they ran out of beans. The staff was great! Very attentive and friendly. We got the family platter. (1.5 pounds of meat, we got pulled pork and sausage, 3 sides, Mac n cheese, baked beans and coleslaw.). The coleslaw was awesome! So good. The atmosphere was great. Such a change from what that building was before. Will definitely be back. Everything was great!

Faith and Steph rock. I arrived at noon and they were busy but with the service they delivered it was as if I was the only one there. I had the Denver Broncos Fries along with a half dozen Dry Rubbed Chicken Wings which were all so delicious. This was my first time at the Thornton Restaurant and it was a great experience. A warm sunny November Day lead us to lunch on the outside eating area and it was a real treat. Looking for Great BBQ in THORNTON, look no further than GQue BBQ.

It's been a minute since I have contributed to Yelp, and what better time than now with this restaurant. We just recently returned from Texas visiting family and we're craving some good BBQ, and had been wanting to give this place a try. It seemed a little pricey, but you can't put a price on good food (you get what you pay for). We took our Granddaughter, and Great Granddaughter (who approved of the Mac and Cheese) and meet a couple other family members (Texans), and we all felt that the food was pretty good. The true test was the brisket. The brisket was very tender, yet still moist, and also had a lot of flavor. The pulled pork was also very tasty. They also had three different bbq sauces available for you to use, which were all good, and not overpowering like other establishments. The staff were very courteous, and the establishment was very clean and welcoming. All in all we were all very impressed.

We are happy to have another local food joint on this side of town. We love gQue, but the prices nowadays will make us come a lot less. We have been to the other GQue several of times, so I ordered ahead since I knew this location has been really busy. The pick up system is pretty great since at this location you can pick it up through the drive thru. It was a previous Wendy's that they converted which is pretty cool compared to their other locations. I ordered the chipotle smoked wings which were spicier than I was expecting but not bad. The seasoned fries didn't help though. I also ordered a single Mac & cheese for $4 which was basically a scoop. In total, it was $26 which is a little higher compared to other places. We would come back, but hopefully they have turkey next time because that's my favorite.

The bbq is not good. Very tough and almost inedible. Honestly an Arby's sandwich is probably better. Very sad.

Located in a strip mall by a couple hotels this place really shines when it comes to their beer…read more Their name might suggest that when writing their menus, they would be interesting and funny; that could be no more truthful! Satire without a doubt has the most interesting and quite frankly tasty beers! Overhearing one of the bartenders talk about some of the new upcoming Drink specials lets me know that this place does cocktails well too. It's a large place that has two bars in two separate rooms. One thing that made me pause a bit was that most of their food comes out on paper plates. For the sake of ease, this is awesome, but I think their food is nicer than what should be served on a paper plate. I will definitely be back and I will definitely bring friends and family.

I stopped by Satire with a coworker after a happy hour event during the weekday. Even though it was…read morea Wednesday at around 9:00PM, the place was PACKED! It's a very large space with 2 seating areas and there was still only like 2 empty tables that I saw. The menu is huge. They pretty much had any kind of beer you can want and with funny names to accompany them. We did not order any food but the food that others ordered around me looked good. The beer I ordered was a simple lager and it tasted great with reasonable pricing. Service here was impressive. Even with how large the place is and how many people were there, we did not have to wait long at all to be helped and get our stuff including our beers and then our check at the end. Great job staff and managers! I will be back to have a few beers with good company! Cheers!
