Brad's Pit BBQ is take out but you can eat it outside in the beer garden or just take it home. Parking can be a bit challenging on a Saturday afternoon. Service was top notch.

Don't judge me, I had lots of leftovers, lol. My favorite from the bounty was Brad's special beans, green chili and brisket. Go check them out and have a beer next door!

Steve is a master of the grill…read more We used Smoke House Meats to cater our daughters HS graduation party. The beef ribs were a huge hit, smoked over a combo of cherry wood and hickory. They come dry (Texas style) but hold the sauce so perfectly. Beef ribs can be tough if rushed but clearly Steve takes his time and let's these babies render to tender. He also supplied us with a 100 piece of mixed-flavor wings. The party favorites were the simple smoked and Sriracha Honey. His brisket was lean but juicy and deeply flavored. As I write this, I am reheating the brisket chopped and mixed into my eggs and hash browns. Just as good this am as last night. The pulled chicken was the least favorite. I don't believe that has much to do with Steve. It is more the fact that white meat is baseline dry and adding the smoke only dries it further. I would recommend bone-in whole chicken if smoked chicken is what you are after. The sides Steve prepared were a HUGE HIT. The smoked mac-n-cheese was great in flavor and held its heat the whole night without cooking to the mealy mush sometimes sheet pan mac will get to. The green beans were over the top flavorful but unlike the mac, start to get soft as the night goes on and they steam. Again, this isn't an issue with Steve. It's an issue with the nature of greenbeans. You would be completely safe adding these to your event if everyone eats in a single wave. Like others have said, the favorite ended up being the BBQ spaghetti. We encountered a happy accident with our order. We ordered the traditional BBQ spaghetti as well as the previously mentioned mac. The mac was requested to have jalapeños but communication got crossed and the spaghetti received the jalapeños. Steve caught the mistake and gave us the "oops" pan and the regular. At the party, nearly all of the jalapeño spaghetti was consumed while only a quarter of the pan of regular was eaten. It was such a unique dish and unexpected deep in flavor, even a friend of our who owns a restaurant was talking about doing a riff on this dish. We ordered food for 25 adults. The result was good for 50+. Portions are generous and the quality was there. Steve BBQ is a unique style and he is a pleasure to work with.

Service was good, however, once we were very close to being finished, she came up with our bill. Gave 20% tip. We weren't offered anything else. At the time we didn't want anything else but being offered would have been nice. We stayed ONE hour AFTER paying our check. (Yes, we looked around and saw our table wasn't needed. Plenty of open tables. We were once Servers, we "get it." ) We sat with 5 empty and dirty dishes for almost an hour along with 5 empty cocktail glasses. VERY surprised as our server (and buser) walked by a few times in that hour and NEVER grabbed a dish or offered water refills or perhaps even another drink. We felt like, she got the tip, she's done. Disappointing.

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

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.

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!
