Yazoo is my go-to BBQ restaurant in all of Denver. Love the pork shoulder and brisket 2-meat combo meal with beans and slaw. Can't find a better tasting combo in all of Colorado, let alone Denver. And sauces? Ya wanna talk sauces . . .? Best selection of different types ranging from sweet, to mild, to hot and super hot, as well as a mustard based North Carolina version which always brings me back to my school days at Bullocks BBQ in Durham, NC where I went to school. MMM good! Matter of fact, I just talked myself into going there this afternoon 'cause I'm taking my baby to the DBG concert tonight and a bbq picnic from Yazoo will make the party rock! read more

My favorite BBQ place! Friendly folks, good prices, unique downtown atmosphere. A young man got my order wrong but I called and the issue was rectified with apologetic authenticity! I felt like a valued customer. read more

Oh! Parking in downtown Denver? Woah! Friday about 6:30 pm, it was quietly busy. Steady, but we could chatty! Staff was really nice! Potty key to go potty (knock first). Portion sizes were awesome (for me). One of our party said their entree was a little dry, but ... oh! There's shmear (sauce)! Sides are mostly a la carte. We particularly liked the Mac and Cheese. The Hashbrown Casserole was also delicious. We ordered a pint of each side and shared it among 4 people! * munchy * munchy * Shh!!! I am mixing the sides to make the hashbrown casserole even cheesier! Whee!!! ... and I am full ... I recommend this place! If you want The Bob, it sells out quickly, so ... call ahead when they open. I saw some folks doing takeout, too. read more

Definitely!!! Hole in the wall places are THE BEST!!! This BBQ is banging and the prices are the lowest that I've ever seen for a BBQ restaurant The restaurant also has upstairs with outdoor roof top bar and balcony. The rib tips w/ potato salad and beans were the perfect hit on a beautiful hot day! I'll definitely return here when back in the area. The service was great! As always, There's plenty of parking onsite which was awesome because being so close to downtown usually there's a cost to park. read more

5 Stars! Everything at Yazoo BBQ Company is absolutely delicious! From the creamy, flavorful mac and cheese to the fall-off-the-bone ribs and tender brisket -- every bite hits just right. The peach cobbler? A perfect sweet ending that I'm still dreaming about The environment is fun, laid-back, and chill, with a rooftop bar vibe that makes it even better. Plus, the people there are super friendly and welcoming. Definitely a must-visit if you're craving good BBQ in a good mood! read more

I decided to venture away from the restaurants near my hotel adjacent to the convention center because I was craving Texas/southern style BBQ. My walk (on Champa St) ended when I saw their sign and back patio area. The restaurant looks like a sort of island oasis as the building is flanked by well trafficked streets. Also it looks to be the only restaurant in the area, my quick scan noticing mostly apartments and mixed industrial spaces. You literally can't miss them! That said, it's more than a stand which isn't what I expected. The interior is spacious and has table service (upstairs), gathering/hangout space outside (and inside) as well as plenty of parking. I was there around "linner" time, which was relatively empty of people. The dude at the counter was friendly and was more than happy to guide me through their menu. I had a 3 meal meat combo: 2 ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Also had two sides: green beans and slaw. And dessert! I left full and was happy to be able to "walk off" my linner. The pulled pork so awesome ! Tender, Smokey 100% delicious. I can say the same about the ribs and add they were very tender...I could have an entire rack no problem. The brisket wasn't my favorite, I don't like the way it was served, which was chopped...not sure if it can be requested another way. I would have preferred slices of brisket. Also texture wise it was a little dry. The sides were awesome! The cobbler, hmm, I loved it, as it was sweet but it didn't have any crust only some crunchy stuff that left me wanting crust...again delicious and very much a dessert but definitely not what I expected nor would describe as a traditional cobbler. Flavor was sold though. Overall, my craving for BBq and desire to go outside of what's being offered near the convention center was more than satisfied. Great meal at a great value. I think I spent less than $25 for my combo and dessert. I doubt I'll spend less money on food the rest of my time in the downtown area! read more

10/10! A good BBQ place is hard to find, but this place has become in instant classic in my opinion. The parking could be a hard thing being located in Denver, but I was lucky to go on my lunch break and found instant parking and was in and out in a matter of seconds. They have a good size menu, and specials to keep it easy to order. But I was blown away by how tender the riblets were. Well smoked and hearty. The sides are equally well prepared. With fair prices you can easily walk away with left overs. I love that they have two stories to seat and host, a night out with friends and or family would be great here. If you love Denver sports I don't think you can go wrong eating here before or after the games... I'll be back soon! read more

Yazoo BBQ Company - 1/2 lb riblet special, side of Cole slaw and Mac and cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I had an opportunity to pop in here for a quick lunch with friends. After finding this place on Yelp (and being disappointed by a failed attempt at getting BBQ elsewhere a couple days prior), I thought I'd check this place out. It was within walking distance of where I was staying so that also made it a good choice. When we arrived the place wasn't very busy and we decided to check out the upstairs. It was not busy either and had open air seating creating a very laid back atmosphere. It seemed to be a good area to sit so we grabbed some menus from the bar and a table. Shortly after, our Server came over with waters and took our orders once we were ready. He turned out to be very friendly and was good about checking up on us, offering to refill our drinks and casual small talk. He even shared with us the story around receiving their Yelp award. I decided to try a quarter pound of smoked brisket and a half pound of smoked rib tips. Their meat comes just smoked with their dry rub and no sauce, just the way that I prefer it. Naked. They had a selection of sauces that you add yourself including some made-in-house and Sweet Baby Rays. I enjoyed my BBQ sans sauce. Apparently, the mac-n-cheese and the bob can be hard to come by and my companions lucked up and were able to obtain both. Overall, I enjoyed my meal here and if I had discovered them sooner during my visit, I probably would have come back 1 or 2 more times to try different smoked meats. read more

The food was decent. I really enjoyed the potato salad and brown sugar bbq beans. The rib tip was nice and juicy. I also tried the chopped chicken which was a little dry for me. But the choices of bbq helped. They range from sweet, mild, hot and extra hot. The ambiance was a bbq shack pub feel. I definitely prefer bbq more on the smoked side and charcoal taste. I was missing that. The service was quick and the gentleman was very helpful with assisting in choosing most popular dishes. read more

Over the years I've remained a fan. Seven years to be exact. Love their ribs. Just love their delicious Bbq in general. It's dry-rubbed which I favor. They remained open during pandemic. I'm glad they made it! Ignore the somewhat iffy location for a great Bbq. Let's support them! They have a good sized private parking lot which is getting more and more rare these days. Recently they were in the top ten Bbq places in Denver! Says Yazoo "BBQ comes in more ways than just about any food on earth. We think our way is the best, cuz it's Deep South Style. Prepared with our own Dry Rub (sauce keeps the smoke out of the meat...put the sauce on later if you like). Smoked with real Pecan flavor. To them bbq sauce is a condiment that can be added after. Amen! read more

I had the brisket and sausage link with Mac and cheese and hash brown casserole and my wife had ribs with potato salad and coleslaw. Everything was good except the ribs were a little dry and coleslaw was a little flat, needed more liquid. But was pleased for the most part. read more

Popped in to grab some ribs to go. Got a full rack with Mac & cheese and potato salad. Really fresh sides. Delicious. The ribs were so moist, didn't even need sauce but my man loved the hot sauce. Cool place. Long-term local biz. Give them a shot read more

This place is great if you're on the go and looking to grab a quick lunch near coors field. They have a private parking lot which is amazing, so you can just whip right in there and order at the counter to go and be on your way in no time. The to-go containers are great and make it easy in the event that you're looking to eat a bowl of chopped brisket while driving. A lot of utility in that for sure. Aside from the convenience of easy parking in this area and robust to-go containers, the food itself is pretty good. Everyone has a favorite BBQ spot so and I won't delve into that debate, but this stuff will for sure do the trick and for the price it's tough to beat. Would definitely recommend. read more

Very good BBQ at a very reasonable price with a bar upstairs frequented by locals. Staff is very accommodating and friendly.

Reed was an excellent, friendly and helpful waiter at this charming restaurant with a local flavor. It is the BEST BBQ I have ever had!!! The sauces make the experience unique. I wish I could buy some to bring home. Our hotel made sure to tell us it wasn't fancy but it was a welcoming, homey place upstairs. And the aroma of the food makes the decision of what to order very difficult! I eyed a number of peoples' plates and wasn't sure what to get! We ended up ordering the popular "Bobby". It was a little dry but the brisket, beans and coleslaw were epic! We ordered a second round because there were too yummy to pass up. And what can't be left out is the freshly steeped iced tea. It was delicious! So hard to find restaurants that make that special effort these days. I hope we get to go back before our trip is over. read more

It was our first time here last week - and we were very pleasantly surprised by our experience, and wish we had come in sooner! There's plenty of seating both upstairs and downstairs - we chose to sit upstairs where it's full service and there's a full bar. The tables are under a covered area/with openings around the outside of the room that let lots of air in, which was great. Our server/bartender was wonderful - super attentive- took our drink order, brought our drinks over, and took our food order. There's a basket near the stairs that has all of the plates, sauces, etc where you help yourself to what you want. Our food arrived about ten minutes after we ordered. I went with the two meat combo - I selected the ribs and the beef brisket, along with three sides, potato salad, coleslaw, and spicy green beans. All of the food was delicious (and generously portioned). We are excited to come back, and try more of the menu! read more

Great bbq. Had the brisket sandwich and it was fantastic. Not in the best part of town but worth the trip.

TL;DR: good ribs, ok pulled pork, great pickled green beans, good baked beans. Unreliable for takeout (make sure you double check your order) Got takeout from Yazoo, which unfortunately was a disappointment in regards to service. We received only gave us 1 of each side we ordered (ordered 2 of each side) and one order of something we didn't order. The order was late for pick up on a Wednesday (especially surprising for a barbecue establishment, where things are generally pre-prepared for the most part). They then volunteered to give us some free cookies because of running late, but then they didn't include these with our items. The ribs were pretty good, enjoyed the sweet barbecue sauce and golden bbq sauce (medium was just ok), pulled pork was average. Would consider going back but would definitely double check everything before leaving and plan on them running late. read more

Yazoo BBQ Company - 3Meat 3 Meat Combo 4 Ribs, 1/4 lb Brisket, Hot Link, hash brown casserole, pickled beans - Barbeque Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This place is located on the outskirts of downtown, near a homeless camp. There is metered street parking nearby the restaurant and they have a private parking lot. The restaurant is relatively large and has two levels. The first level has you counter where you order your food and indoor dining. There is also a sectional garage door on the first level that can be opened up as well. Up the stairs on the second level is where you will find the bar and the covered outdoor patio dining area. They have a full service bar up there, ready to make your favorite cocktail. They have typical barbecue food like ribs, chicken, and pulled pork. There was one exotic menu item that caught my eye, the Bob, so i went with it. They had me at "bacon wrapped". I got a side of beans and peach cobbler to top off my meal. I took my food upstairs and ate on the second level patio. I am glad I did, Ryan was up there working the bar. He was awesome. He pushed this place to 5 stars. My food was pretty good, the Bob was delicious and well seasoned, the beans had a little kick, like I like it and the cobbler was packed with flavor too. This is a decent "Q' joint that is local and has a family feel to it. It is deserving of all the praise it gets and I recommend this place to satisfy your barbecue craving. read more

I tried Yazoo for the first time today. It was very good. The ribs were excellent. The hash brown casserole was delicious. You can probably skip the bbq beans. They were pretty basic. I wouldn't make a pilgrimage to go there, but if you are in the area and want bbq, Yazoo is a good choice. read more

Some of the best barbecued meat I've had and who knew it would be in Denver lol. This spot is nothing to look at so that's how you know it'll be good and so cheap! I'm used to a plate of bbq being $20-$30 fir one person but not here. We got a pound of rib tips, two sides, 2 meat plate with chicken and ribs and it was $25. Three of use shared it. The sides menu leaves a bit to be desired (no fries, collard greens, Mac and cheese) but maybe that's the southerner in me. The meat makes up for it. The sauces are the icing on the cake. Beware the super hot really is super hot lol. Staff is friendly, bathroom clean, parking in the back. read more

3.5 stars Reasonably priced, pretty good bbq with a tangy spicy sauce. I thought the chicken was a little dried out and would've liked to have seen some lunch combos offered. read more

Yazoo BBQ Company - Chicken sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Denver, Colorado

BEST bbq in Denver and I am literally addicted to whatever they put into their Mac and Cheese. I swear you can always tell how good a place is just how good their basic sides are and this place did not disappoint. They were nice enough to call me when they ran out of food briskets (which happens everywhere) and immediately replaced it. Amazing service. Amazing food. Amazing restaurant. Cant ask for more :) read more

I've heard about this place for years and finally stopped in. Pretty impressed. Both the pulled pork and the brisket had very good flavor and texture. The half pound sandwiches live up to the stated size, very filling for a reasonable price. I use sauce sparingly, so I appreciate it coming entirely unsauced with several to choose from & do on your own. The hash brown casserole is not super common bbq side, but it pairs great. I assume there's some weird liquor license split explaining why downstairs is counter service with no alcohol while upstairs is a bar with table service. In any case, it's a cool building, garage redone into a restaurant. read more

Visiting Denver for the first time and this place did not disappoint! A three way combo and 2 sides for less than 20 bucks is unheard of where I'm from!! The portion size is good. The service was great, real friendly folks. The ribs are tender, the brisket is tender and the links are true hot links!! The sauce selection is good with my favorite being the hot, but beware, it ain't for the weak! But all the sauces are tasty. A 10 out of 10 defiantly recommend!!! read more

The attitude from the two guys was over the top. It is seriously as though they do not want to stay in business. After ordering and receiving our food, not one of the 6 friends I was with were impressed. The brisket was dry and in tiny bits. One of my friends could not tell the difference between brisket and the pork. Would not recommend or go back. read more

I love this place but they screw up sooo many orders. I keep going back because the food is great and they're usually good about making it right, but I have to double check every order before I leave and I've had more than one delivery missing components. Five stars for food, three stars for consistency and reliability. read more

Ribs were great. They didn't even need sauce...but im a sauce guy so I used all the sauces and they were all good. The 1/4 brisket sandwich was huge. It was good. I also tried the link and that was also good. The sides I got were the off menu Mac n cheese that they don't always have but it did the job. Then the hash casserole was good. It lacked a little flavor but was still a good choice in my opinion. The environment upstairs when we went on a early Saturday afternoon was relaxing. Buddha the bartender is chill and attentive. Great customer! read more

The ribs are so tender and the meat is succulent - they give you plenty as well so nobody goes hungry. We got 5-6 hearty ribs and that was my fav. compared to the brisket & although it was good - the ribs were the stars of the show! The mustard sauce was the best one I thought! We thought their sides were not that great - looked up from our seat to the swinging door and saw that the green beans (vinegary) came from big cans. lol They can up their dining by making the sides themselves! Outdoor dining available-too hot for me so we scooted back inside to enjoy the a/c! There's a parking lot attached to the restaurant although it's smallish. read more

// Summary Let your search for good BBQ take you elsewhere. // Experience I ordered a combo with brisket and 2 ribs with a side of hash brown casserole. The meat was lukewarm and incredibly dry, and if there was any redemption, it would be that there was sauce to help make it palatable. The hash brown casserole could be described as maybe a couple notches above mush. // Service Service was fine in terms of food. There was still like 30-45 minutes left til closing, and one of the guys started mopping up the floors, which gav // Ambiance Not much to look at inside or out. Plenty of tables were available, and there's an upstairs part that I didn't check out, since I was pretty much in a "eat and leave" type of pace. // Convenience Pretty much in downtown, but you have so many other options to choose that would surely be better than this place. read more

Quick and friendly service! The pulled chicken bbq was very good, and the sauces are all amazing. The sides were also delicious: mac and cheese, pickled spicy green beans, and baked beans. Highly recommend. read more
