BBQ for the heart!
Posted by kirbzter13 on 12/06/2008
I have been going to brickyard BBQ for many years and Love the food. Recently i have been traveling to Dallas, Houston and KC and sampling the local BBQ. Now that i have had some of america's famous BBQ (Sonny Bryans Smokehouse BBQ Dallas, TX, Gates BBQ KC, KS, Jack Stacks KC, KS, Houston Barbecue Company, Houston, TX) i do have to say this is a local treat in Denver and reminds me of the KC style of BBQ.
If you are a KC native and looking for a little taste of KC BBQ, i would give this a try.

Overpriced!!

Small portions and expensive! I've seen 5 year old kids that can eat more food than you receive from this joint.

Don't Recommend Catering From Brickyard
Posted by bomoshea on 09/06/2007
I wanted to get the word out that my experience with Brickyard's catering staff was horrible!
I called earlier this week to request a catering service. Unfortunately, they were booked the night we wanted to hold our event (Friday, Sept. 14th). I requested a quote for what it would cost to just pick up the food ourselves. They said they'd call me back. They never did - which was fine b/c we ended up deciding to go a different direction.
Well...I get a call today, on the morning of Friday the 7th (a week before our event), asking who is coming to pick up the food (mind you, no talk of price or a finalized number for the food...which is what I was supposed to have a return call about). When I say we've decided to go a different direction and that no one will be picking up food the catering contact says: "don't tell me that, we already have the food." Then I realize he was asking who would be picking up the food TODAY. I tell him that our event is not even until next week, that it always was. He then hangs up on me.
Poor, poor, poor customer service. Not only did he get my event details wrong and didn't return a call when he said he would, but he hung up on me when he realized his mistake. Needless to say I'm never going there again!! I would recommend the same to others.

Disappointment
Posted by eatzking on 02/17/2007
This place came highly recommended from a friend so naturally I decided to get the sampler platter. I also am the kind of BBQ fan that believes even bad BBQ can be pretty enjoyable (smoked hunks of meat accompanied by mayo-based salads, c'mon). I will say that this was not very good. The beef was tough and had no indication of any pink smoke stain. The sauce and a distinctly vile aftertaste. Additionally, the sides could have come from the supermarket down the road. (they must be kidding me with that potato salad) To be fair, the pork was pretty good and chicken was flavorful.

Lower the prices
Posted by mlasser on 01/21/2006
I think the food is very good and the guys who work there act like they own the place. Good service. I think the sides are a rip. Full rack of ribs plus 2 sides and a drink is gonna run like $18. I think that's high for a place that serves on disposable plates and where you place your order at the counter.
I suggest they make a plate with 2 sides for under $15.

This little place has great food and service with a smile. You order at the counter and take a seat. Our food was brought out to us but I'm sure on a busy night you would have to get up to get your food. They have the classic BBQ menu. Their spicy sauce, which was more like mild, was finger licking good. There are rolls of paper towels on the table you'll need them. The ribs are packed with meat and are cooked to perfection. The Baked Beans were wonderful, but the Cole Slaw was tasteless. This is not a first date kind of place. This is an older building with only one small bathroom for everyone. I would recommend using the take out if you like beer and BBQ as beer was not available.They have a great lunch deal: any sandwich, choice of side and drink for $6.95

Better than Brothers
Posted by panko on 09/20/2005
We went for take out tonight- it was fast and delicious! My husband's decided to eat there once a week, and has promised to watch any movie I want as long as he has the BBQ. I had the pork burnt ends- which were fantastic. We got a rack of ribs with the thought of leftovers in mind, but they didn't last any longer than our movie.
No fat, excellent smoke flavor and perfect sauce- no secret ingredients trying to surprise you- just GOOD food.

Only so-so
Posted by llamapez on 02/13/2004
I was hoping I had finally found a decent BBQ joint in Denver, and right in my own neighborhood, but was pretty disappointed. I think $6 is a bit much for a pulled pork sandwich with no sides. And sides are $1.50 each, so it's $9 before you even get to the drink if you want beans and potato salad. Not a huge price by any means, but this is a BBQ sandwich for crying out loud. The sauce was good, but the pork had a lot of fat in it. The beans were very tasty.

What's so great about this place???
Posted by chuckcr on 11/30/2003
I'm from out of town and if this is some of the best in Denver I feel sorry for the locals. The links are fair and have NO texture. The brisket was dry and had NO smoke ring. The pork was the best by far, but still not too good! I'll not be back! Average at best.
