    Do you have hams for Christmas?

    Hi Bradley, thank you so much for reaching out. Unfortunately, we do not have hams for Christmas as we only carry Beef products.

    I've shopped here for over 30 years and always have had good service so I hate to write a bad…read morereview, but I would hate for this employee to bring down an important business in our community. I'm used to this store being open early (8 am) so this morning, when I walked in at 8:30 and I was kind of in my own head thinking about what kind of nice steaks I would like to buy for my son's birthday, I was abruptly yelled at and told to go away because the store was not open. It was so shocking and so rude. I thought the person was joking. I said you're joking right and she goes, "No, I'm not joking! We're closed! " Even though the doors were wide open, I guess they were open for employees coming in. I was ready to spend several hundred dollars, but instead I walked to my car and placed an online order from Snake River Farms. I got $25 off and two day delivery so I'm thrilled. It might be a while until I go back to Tonys. It's OK that the store was closed. I just wish the employee had used better tact.

    I think Tony's is great, although it is not without its flaws, as some have noted here. They are a…read moresmall, independent Market primarily focused on butchering and other proteins. As such, you get great cuts of meat, house-made sausages, bacon, pre-made meals, and roasts, etc. This fish selection is strong, and they have an excellent deli. That said, given they are a small independent shop, you will pay more for some staples, and you will pay more for higher quality items; you won't have the same selection of produce as a 60,000 sqft grocery chain. All of this, though, is fairly obvious when you walk in. Tony's is focused on quality over quantity.

    My new favorite barbecue spot in Denver! Was lucky enough to…read morestumble on this while walking around near a friend's apartment in Englewood, Denver has all these cool little pockets where it's very suburban and then all of a sudden you'll have a small corner with a few shops and restaurants and giving it a lovely walkable vibe. I could tell this place was going to be good because it was packed out at 11:30 AM on a Saturday. We decided to stop by and most people were ordering very large orders for takeout, but they have a good number of tables both inside and outside. The food takes a while to come, but that just means that it is all freshly prepared, and the staff are so nice and even give free samples. I went with the Kids meal brisket with the Potato salad and added a Sweet potato with the candied pecan butter. I seriously have no words -- all of these things were so delicious, and the amount of meat that you get even with the kids meal is more than enough to fill me up, especially with the rich sweet potato and potato salad on the side. I will be back as soon as I can, their hours are limited, and the drive is a little out of the central Denver area, but it is so worth it

    A big part of the BBQ experience for me is the wonderful aroma of smoke that always accompanies…read moregreat barbecue, and creates a feeling of anticipation for the coming meal. That was missing here, the first indication that all would not go well. I soldiered on anyway, and ordered the 2 meat plate, pulled pork and brisket, with an extra rib bone and collard greens and beans for sides. The brisket and pork were both dry and had no smoke flavor. The rib was so small (an end piece) that they gave me 2; they were both overcooked and had very little meat on them. The sides were the only good part of this meal, but sides do not great barbecue make, hence the 2 stars. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The pitmaster visited our table and took our criticism with good grace, even offering to replace our food to see if they could do better, but I was done. I won't be returning.

    This is our go-to to place for our very specific barbecue likes, namely the one meat plate with…read moreBurnt Ends, Smoked Collard Greens, and the best Fried Okra you will find anywhere. 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. The choices of causes number around 8, and the smoked collard greens are extra tasty when slightly spiked with a bit of the Carolina BBQ sauce. Bon Apeti, y 'all.

    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.
