Excellent brisket sandwich. Smoky flavor, succulent. The best I've had in a restaurant. I pride myself on my low & slow smoked brisket - and I'll say theirs approaches mine - while mine is wet smoked at 250° for 8 hours then wrapped and steamed...another 8 - how could they put that kind of effort into theirs? Don't know but it tastes like it! Very good beans & coleslaw. Good pricing, fast service. I make it a point to stop here when in Gunnison. Been doing that for years. I will go many miles out of my way for their BBQ. Their house BBQ sauce is really tasty - better than Sweet Baby Ray's! Haven't tried much of their menu because the brisket is so good. Plus I'm getting older so can't eat big volumes. I tell friends, be sure to eat here. And now they have moved to a bigger and more visible building. Glad covid didn't destroy the business as it did so many others.More

Appears to be a locals barbecue place with both inside and outside dining. Clean with extra fast service. We both had pulled pork sandwiches that we enjoyed.

Staff really friendly and attentive, helped us travelers with some recommendations. When it comes to the food - meat was cooked really well but lacked great bbq flavor. Baked beans hands down most flavorful. Rest was average. Not bad! But needs stronger flavor.

We popped in for lunch, and the barbecue and sides were okay. Brisket was tender, but not juicy. The ribs were fair and did not fall off the bone. The italian sausage was probably the best part of the meal. The potato salad seemed mayo...based but had a decent flavor. Not the best, but not bad. The staff is not too friendly, but they are polite when you order. They did not offer a goodbye or thank you as we left. The restaurant and restrooms are clean.More

Wasn't sure what to order everything sounded good. Picked the tatornator and husband had brisket sandwich. With side of ribs. Sauce was good. Service was friendly. Decided to get pie to go. WOW the pie was soooo good. Worth the price. Food was so good.

Stopped in for a late lunch and just had the brisket meal sandwich with potato salad. The meat was juicy and tender, the potato salad was very good and the beans were exceptional. While we were there a stream of both locals and tourists was...constant and everyone seemed to like the food a lot.More

The ribs were delish and falling off the bone. Coleslaw was not soggy like most other places. Sweet potato fries were just right. Hard to believe that it was that good but it was. I know barbeque after living in texas so I say try...this place, I don't think you will regret it.More

Stopped here for lunch on our way from Telluride to Denver and are we glad we did. We had the variety platter and my wife said the brisket was the best she had ever had. I agree and I also thought the pulled pork was...exceptional.More

We were actually going to the pizza place next door but they were closed and the BBQ smelled really good! As others said, order at the counter and they'll bring the food out. We found it to be great BBQ (and we loved the beans)...at a very reasonable price. Nice outside seating. One of the better meals we had on a recent 8 day trip through Colorado.More

Our family enjoyed our meat-filled dinner, especially the pulled pork and ribs best of all. The sides were a little iffy except for the fried okra. No one in our group liked the baked beans that automatically came as one side. There’s seating outside under...the umbrellas, but that patio is right on the street so there’s noise and car fumes to deal with. We chose to eat inside since we had small children with us. You place your order at the counter when you enter and the rest is “serve yourself.” Prices were quite reasonable. Before we left, the line to order was out the door, so the place is apparently popular.More

Coming from Texas 5B’S was up against some great BBQ. I really liked the taste of the chopped Q and the beans were outstanding. The chopped sandwich could have been bigger and if It had been bigger they’d have got a 5start.

It’s not a full service restaurant, you order at the counter and they call your name and drop it at your table. The barbecue was excellent and employees were courteous and fast. I’d eat here again.

Stopped here on the way back to Pueblo from Black Canyon, and I'm glad we did. I had spare ribs with fries and beans, and my wife had their "Tatornator." We wrapped it up with some chocolate pan cake! Hit the spot and was just...what we needed for the 3 hour drive to the house. There's a reason they've been voted best barbecue in Gunnison County many times over!More

So glad we stopped here for dinner after a hike! My husband and I shared the one meat platter with baked beans, cornbread, and sweet potato fries. We also got a corn dog and fried okra. The other couple with us got the tacos. If...I had room, I would have had the sheet cake for dessert! Service was fast and friendly, and we ate dinner outside.More
