Some of the best wings I have had in Colorado. Every rub is fantastic and you honestly can’t go wrong with any choice. The brisket sandwich is delicious especially if you add a little of the bbq sauce they have on the table. The portions are great for the price. This is the best bbq I have had outside of Texas, Tennessee, and North Carolina.

First time here. I was at a nearby store and was in the mood for BBQ. Friendly staff, fast service. I got an order of 10 wings, half G-Que dry rub & the daily special Caribbean jerk with a side of pit-smoked beans. I was expecting the wings to be more meatier & juicier. I did like the flavor of the dry rub. The beans were okay. G-Que also serves ice cream. I tried the salted caramel Oreo & banana pudding. They were both okay. Overall, there are many other BBQ places to try.

I ordered from here after reading great reviews and recommendations from others. However, I have to say I’ve had better BBQ spots in the city of Denver. I think because I ordered this for lunch, it’s not a fresh batch of BBQ. The ribs were dry and tasted like it was from yesterday. I was expecting something juicy and tender but I probably got a bad batch. Hopefully this doesn’t happen again

G-Que BBQ is easily one of the best barbecue spots I’ve tried in Colorado (I haven’t had many). The brisket was incredibly tender and flavorful, with just the right amount of smoke. The ribs had a nice bite to them and they also had a rich, savory bark that really stood out. Sausage had a great snap and seasoning. The jalapeño wasn’t too much heat at all. The mac and cheese was creamy, satisfying, and uniquely flavored. I destroyed it. Easily the perfect side. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, and the staff was friendly and efficient. I appreciated how everything was clearly marked on the menu, making it easy to order even for a first timer. Their “’til it’s gone” policy is no joke, especially if you’re planning to come later in the day, be prepared that some items might sell out. That said, it’s a sign of how popular and fresh the food is. I’d definitely recommend G-Que for anyone looking for high quality BBQ in a relaxed setting. Great for groups, quick lunches, or a laid back dinner.
