GQue BBQ

Ordered a Pulled Pork Sandwich, a Cowtipper (beer), some ribs and the BBQ Beans. Couldn’t eat it all but what I did eat was delicious! If my Cowtipper would have been colder I would have given them 5 Stars.

Excellent BBQ! I have been here several times now and have tried many menu items. The ribs and brisket are my favorites as well as the baked beans and cole slaw. The ribs melt in your mouth and fall off the bone. Tender, flavorful deliciousness. The sauce here is VERY yummy. I highly recommend the baked beans, they are not to be missed! Fast friendly service and the food is always really, really good! You order at the counter and then take your food to go or find a seat if there is one. My kids love the Mac n cheese!

My husband and I love this place. The staff is very friendly and the food is amazing! The pulled pork and jalapeño cheddar sausage is my favorite and my husband loves the brisket! Their sides are great as well, Apple coleslaw, Mac n cheese, beans, and more! Definitely give this place a try!

Nice friendly staff, but their brisket is terrible. I ordered a half pound $ 10 asked for the brisket to be sliced & lean. Normally this is cut from the «point» of the brisket. The brisket was so fatty and not even sliced correctly. I cam in again today and thought I’d try it again. Same thing as last week, you could wring the fat grease out of the cut.
Being in the bbq industry for 10 years I’m picky about my brisket. This will be the last time for me. I’ll stick with Jim & Nicks even if it’s further away.
I don’t normally write reviews, this is only my 2^nd time. I just feel like this place is overpriced and the quality isn’t as good as it should be.

Amazing food, service, and people! We are from
MN and looking forward to coming back to CO just for their food.

AAAAMAZING!!! Greeted by Amy! Explained everything to us. Had the Sasquatch, so flavorful with tender brisket with fabulous bark! Atmosphere is welcoming and simple. Loved that it was so clean! Nice beer and liquor selection. Looking forward to our next feast!

This is my favorite bbq spot in Colorado! We’ve been in a handful of times and each time, the owner/​manager has hooked us up with some free pulled pork or ribs. The ribs are second to none in Colorado! Be sure to try the sausage and cherry bourbon cheesecake! Thank you for the great ‘que and hospitality!

Have yet to try the brisket as they were out, but the pulled pork was delicious. I went with the cashiers recommendation of getting it with the apple slaw. Cool place with a nice, family style vibe. They came around with a free sample of the jalapeño cheddar sausage, which had great flavor and a definite kick.
Looking forward to coming back for the brisket.

I stopped in here not expecting much, I just love BBQ and it was new…
I thought it was amazing, one of the better BBQ places I’ve been except for a handful in Texas.
The ribs especially, are amazing — they have a kind of glaze on them along with some kind of spices sprinkled on top which are fantastic, I ate a few ribs without any BBQ sauce at all as they were so delicious. I also had the brisket and pulled pork, both were very good with the sauce — as some have mentioned the spicy sauce is not really very spicy, but it’s got a good flavor — what both my wife and I liked best though was mixing both BBQ sauces in equal amounts together, that I thought had a great flavor.
For sides we had the beans and mac & cheese. The beans were amazing, super flavorful. The mac n cheese was good but so rich I could have only a little. Even the smallest side is pretty large so you may not want to order many.
One other thing I especially enjoyed was the cherry bourbon cheesecake, it has a great chocolate crust and the flavor and texture were great, by far the best cheesecake I’ve had at a restaurant anywhere. I normally prefer other desserts to cheesecake but this was fantastic, I would even consider going there just to have dessert…
Especially because of the ribs, I’m not sure I can think of any BBQ place in Denver I’d rather go to.
Since they can run out of stuff you might want to make lunch as your first visit so you get the fullest selection.

My bf and I had dinner here tonight and I have one word amazing. The service was great. The owner was friendly and nice. She came to our table several times to see how we were doing. Amazing place. Will be back.

Lots of folks here are mentioning the prices — they aren’t wrong, this place is pretty pricey for the amount of food you get. If portion size and price are your main factors when choosing a place to eat, GQue ain’t for you.
But if quality is your bag, then ignore everyone here and drive the fuck over to GQue right now, this place is fantastic. I have not yet had a single thing I’ve disliked, and I’m making an effort to order different things every time I go, as well as try everything my wife orders. My main complaint is that this place is really close, so I’m going to get extremely fat eating it.
Pulled pork is great, brisket is great, the sides are excellent, the sausage is good. But holy hell, the ribs. The Ribs. Hands down, the best ribs I’ve ever had in my life. There’s some kind of honey or something coating them, so if you don’t really like «sweet» barbecue sauces, you might not like them, but if you’re a sweet BBQ person you’re going to love these ribs. The bones that come from the ends tend to be a little overcooked and tough, but any other rib on the rack is just moist and falls of the bone and is truly delicious.
I’m not kidding, these ribs are absolutely amazing — I was recently in a different restaurant for dinner, a place where I usually ordered the ribs. But I decided not to bother, and just ordered a burger instead, because if I was going to eat ribs, I wanted to go to GQue and order there. I can’t wait until the next time my dad is in town — he’s from the south and always makes fun of my attempts to find good barbecue in Colorado. That old grumpy bastard’s gonna eat his words!
It’s worth mentioning for completeness that there are only two types of sauce, a sweet and a spicy, and the spicy sauce isn’t very spicy at all. I like a good spicy sauce so this is a slight bummer — if you’re into spicy BBQ you might be a bit disappointed.
Anyway, look, I need you to go buy some food here. If this place doesn’t succeed and winds up going out of business, I don’t know what I’ll do. It’s fantastic barbecue right near my house, it has to stay in business and feeding me ribs, please go give them money.

The food is still good but I find their «till its gone» attitude pretty frustrating. Especially when the items I make the trip for are gone before 7pm. To an extent the meat makes sense as it takes a while but other BBQ restaurants manage. What really doesn’t make sense is running out of sides.
I get they are trying to reduce waste but revenue drives restaurants and when I’ve had to walk away at normal dinner hours 3 out of 5 times I’ve gone it gets a bit frustrating. Seems short sided to focus on the expense side unless there is a constraint I am unaware of. Three times walking out plus at least three more times when we weren’t sure if they’d be sold out or what would be sold out went elsewhere. At $ 30 a trip minimum that starts to add up. Not mention we’ve walked out at dinner time where we’d probably order a few beers as well.
Bottom line is the food is good and it is a great addition to the area but the food is sold out so much it makes it difficult to go for dinner. Hopefully they start to figure out demand but frankly I am not sure when I am going to try again… Maybe the next time I’m looking for dinner at 4:30

Disappointing. Over priced and lacks flavor. Ala carte menu has all the standard items you expect. Ribs had good texture and meat easily comes off the bone. Two types of sauce, traditional and hot. Hot is not very spicey though. I got mac n cheese and beans. Again, disappointment. Mac n cheese noodles not cooked properly but cheese sauce is creamy. Garnish with a paprika type seasoning… ummm NO! Beans not much better. Literally taste like a can of pork n beans with a bit of pull pork added. Bland city!

It was mostly okay. Perhaps my favorite thing about the place would be the friendliness of the staff, particularly Amy who was working the register and was very personable and made an effort to introduce herself to each and every customer. My second favorite thing would have to be the beef brisket. It was moist, flavorful, beautifully cooked, and they did a very nice job of trimming off the excess fat before putting it in the take-​out container.
Other items I had were somewhat less successful from my point of view. I did appreciate that the pulled pork was moist and that I received a good sized portion of it. It did not seem to have a ton of flavor to me, however. I found the mashed potatoes to just be fair. I felt like the beans were a missed opportunity. They were well cooked, and had some decent flavor. However, I found them to be rather boring. There was nothing in them other than beans and sauce. I know that some people like them this way, but to me it felt like well-​made barbecued beans for children. I think a little bit of bacon, or some chunks of brisket, or some onion or peppers would’ve gone a long ways towards making the beans more interesting and superior. I also found the barbecue sauces to be just fair. The savory one did not do much for me, and the spicy one was not especially spicy. I could’ve used a much hotter/​spicier one. Also, perhaps a different style of sauce would’ve been a nice addition.
I cannot fault them for doing the food that they want to do it. And they are doing pretty well at it from that perspective. However, I guess I’m looking for something a little more exciting when I go out for barbecue.

Westminster is so not my part of town and after visiting GQue I wish it was. An associate set up a business meeting for about 12 of us on GQues outside patio. The group had ordered a selection of pretty much everything on the menu so we could all share family style. I am a meat eater and love BBQ. So, that being said, I do not say this lightly but the ribs were better than I have ever had, much better as a matter of fact. Amazing caramelization, flavorful and moist. The brisket was great and pulled pork awesome.
I read a few of the other reviews complaining about price written from Arbys fans apparently. :-) Just kidding, I do not want to start a review argument just want to make my point that this place is the real deal. Go check it out.

Yum!!! I’m so excited this place opened up! There’s not that many BBQ options around here that are satisfying but this sure was!
We ordered the brisket platter and the jalapeño a usage platter with garlic mashed potatoes and were thoroughly impressed. The brisket was soooo soft it was almost hard to eat cuz it kept falling off the fork. I’m a mashed potatoes critic and these were relish!!!
The price was a bit up there but this was quality food so I didn’t mind paying it. Will definitely be back.

Just got back from GQue for lunch. TL;DR: some breakout stars for the food, but far far too expensive for what you get.
This place opened about a month or so ago and had been under construction for awhile before that. The former tenant was Double D’s pizza and GQue has done a good job with the space. It’s interior is fresh, open and modern. Well laid-​out and clean with a queue-​style ordering area immediately up front, open dining room, and the front-​kitchen along the left side where you pick up your order. They have one of those nifty «Freestyle» Pepsi centers for fountain drinks, and offer alcohol (beer, wine, and a selection of spirits).
Since it was lunch, I was looking for a multi-​meat combo (I wanted to sample a couple of different items) but they don’t appear to offer that sort of thing. Their «special» appeared to be a sandwich combo, and all other meats were single-​platters, one side. Everything else is ala carte.
The order-​taker wasn’t really able to take me through the options on how I would put something like that together — she didn’t appear to have much familiarity with the ordering process (but I do think she was new).
At any rate, I ordered 4 ribs, what looked like either a ¼ or ½ pound of pulled pork, and two sides, rather small: coleslaw and baked beans. With drink, the grand total was $ 26.00 — way too much to pay for a single person for lunch, and way way too much for what I actually got once I received my order — it looked like what I would expect for a 13 dollar-​or-​so platter at a competitor. You could go across the street to Old Man and get BBQ just as good, for significantly less.
On to the food:
Baked Beans: Excellent. Nothing more to say here, probably the best baked beans I’ve had. Only thing that would make them better is some chunks of brisket or pulled pork in them.
Coleslaw: Fresh, but boring — no spice profile whatsoever. Add a little zing and they would have something here.
Ribs: Quite good. Tender, and a really tasty rub they are using. Not overly fatty. A+ on these.
Pulled Pork: Tender, but strangely TOO wet. I like a moist pulled pork but this was almost broth-​soaked. I smoke quite a bit at home, I’d say this pulled pork was either over-​cooked or allowed to rest in the foiling juice for too long which gave it a mushy texture.
Texas Toast: Didn’t get any, which is strange since it looked like every platter on the menu came with some and I certainly paid enough for it!
Table Sauces: Nothing to write home about. Perfectly adequate Kansas City-​style BBQ sauce, sweet and hot variety.
Overall, I like the place, but be prepared to pay for it — maybe they want to get their construction loans paid off quickly so prices are high right now! I’ll probably be back, but simply order smarter and maybe walk out a little hungrier.
Atmosphere A+
Cleanliness A+
Staff/​Service A
Food B+
Value D+

Here is the breakdown:
One BBQ sandwich combo 13 dollars
One Bbq sandwich 9 dollars
The food was not bad. Despite not knowing what region their sauce represented it was actually a decent version of a Kansas City type sauce. However, this place is way too expensive for what you get. The amount of food you are given in the 13 dollar combo is not impressive. Not bad bbq but be prepared to pay a lot for it.
Verdict: Too pricey for what you receive.

Stopped in with the husband for a saturday afternoon lunch. I was really craving good barbecue and beer and found this gem. Walking in we were immediately shocked at how many people were already in what looked like a very long line, but even with one person on the registers we flew through the line ordered our foot and found a seat.
I ordered the pull pork sandwich with a side of apple coleslaw and a Colorado crafted Oktoberfest. First off, the coleslaw was fresh, soooo fresh and the pork was tender and so perfectly seasoned it was almost a shame to add the sauce. The only complaint I would have was that the mac and cheese seemed a bit watery, but that is all.
The bill was up there, but for brisket and pulled pork not too bad at around $ 40. Will definately return.

I couldn’t wait to try this new spot as it’s gotten a lot of local hype. Lunch was delicious and the décor was fresh, clean, and spacious. I ordered the pulled pork platter with mashed potatoes and texas toast. The pork was tender and seasoned well, but the other two items were fairly average. However, the star of the show of a BBQ joint should be the BBQ, and I can’t wait to go back and try more of it. They just opened a couple days ago and I’m sure they’re still working out a few kinks, but it’s definitely a great addition to the area.
One one thing that might give people pause is that their food seems a little expensive for what you get.
