RevneD BBQ Company

Terrible service. Thank God this place finally closed. I have come across some rude people but this place took the cake. There is another restaurant in there now and they seem to be a little better.

Happy to announce this place is CLOSED. I was past there today to go to the homebrew store and there is a new sign that says Gyros King on it and the windows were painted with «Gyros King re-​opening soon.»
Good riddance.

I gave this place one star just because I had to. I do not recommend this place — at all!!! The person behind the counter was beyond rude! I ended up walking out due to the bad attitude that I was greeted by. I have no idea how they stay in business with such awful service. Spend your money elsewhere!

I love this place. The food is great. The service, well, it’s not great. The guy who runs the place isn’t very nice and often acts like we’re putting him out when we go there. We affectionately call this place «Angry Man BBQ». It’s not that he’s angry, it just has a better ring to it than Surly Man BBQ. Just go in thinking this is the real name and you’ll be okay with the place.
It’s kind of awesome. We’ve found that the more surly the owner is, the better the food is. We seriously don’t understand, but it seems to be true: the worse his mood, the better his food. And his food is great!
I’ve tried all of the meats offered and they are all GOOD. Nicely smoked, perfect flavor. And the sauce compliments the meats so well. I love their mac n cheese too. I don’t know what’s up with it, but I have to have it every time I go. It’s fantastic and appears to have some addictive properties to it.
So, in a nutshell, I love this place. I give it four stars because the service isn’t very good. But this is one place where I overlook it every time. Heck, he could slap me around and I’d still eat there.

Worst BBQ I have ever had. Meat was super dry and had no flavor at all. Mac and cheese was also flavorless and portion size was a joke. Don’t waste your money there are way better places for BBQ.

It was ok. We went towards later in the day to grab food to bring over to Dry Dock. Both the pork and the chicken were a little dry. I moistened it back up with the IPA sauce. They warned it was runny, and that’s a fact. The mac and cheese was nice and gooey.

I would never recommend this place based on the attitude of the business owner. He is an absolute jerk!
I hadn’t even gotten my foot in the door before he had started berating (yelling, swearing and getting aggressive) me for where I had parked (an open spot behind the restaurant with the back door open with no no parking sign posted).
I would go to a chain restaurant before ever setting foot in this place and would recommend you steer clear, unless you want to support a local @$$ hole.
There are better places to eat with better customer service.
I got in my car and drove away… guess he doesn’t need business if he treats customers (potential customers) like that.

In good faith I couldn’t keep to my original 4 stars. I think 3 is about right.
As most people say it’s not friendly service… at all. Which I guess I can sort of overlook, and sort of not.
2^nd I like sweet tea. A lot. Normally I find 2 issues with sweet tea: 1. It’s not sweet and 2. It’s too sweat and your mouth just hurts tasting it. Which only really problem #2 is a big deal. However, I found a new issue with Sweet tea from this place. I don’t even know what’s wrong b/​c my very first comment to myself as I drove away (to go order) was «Is there arsenic in this?» first of all I don’t know what arsenic taste like and second of all if that’s what comes to mind there is a serious issue with that sweet tea!
Food is still pretty decent, not as awesome as I remember it being (been awhile since I last went there) but I could no longer warrant my original 4 stars and for that I give a sad face.: (

I’m not sure what to say about this restaurants except that the customer service here was the WORST I have experienced in all of the Denver Metro area. I was greeted, nay, I was approached by a very rude man who didn’t even say hi or «may I take your order.» He just stared blankly at the cash register until we decided to just give him our order. When asked to explain something he repeated his prior options as though I didn’t hear him and ask him a more specified questions. We finished ordering and when asked if the combo’s came with drinks he looked up at the board and said, «doesn’t look like its written up there, does it…» What a jack-​hole! I was half tempted to turn around and tell him not to worry! I should have because here comes the review of the food…
Their menu states:
«It is not a twist on KC, Texas, Carolina,
Memphis or any other style BBQ.
We have taken what we like about BBQ
and restaurants and left out the rest.»
Apparently, theyve taken everything negative about bbq and applied it so that it doesn’t taste like classics such as KC, Texas, Carolina, or Memphis. I wonder why people have been bbq’in these types of recipes for YEARS?! Let’s make «denver style» bbq… Which is code for crappy BBQ.
Ribs: Dry and hardly any smoke flavor
Pork: Dry with no flavor, little seasoning, and again NO smoke flavor
Chicken: Again, do they know what a smoker even looks like?!
Brisket: Drop it from the menu because you butchered the whole idea of it! Who chops brisket into tiny bits to put on a sandwhich?!
Sides: Beans (guarantee came out of a can), Potatoe salad (no flavor and dry), mac n cheese (blah), cole slaw (definitely made with enough vinegar!).
I’ve had better bbq at Famous Dave’s BBQ. If you’re looking for extremely crappy service with a free side of attitude you’ve found the exact spot! You would think a couple idiots running the joint would WANT repeat customers and realize that someone might just make an honest online review of their establishment.
Whatever these «fruit» tree’s they are using must have absolutely NO effects on their smoking process… I mean I can’t imagine why professionals haven’t been using these tree’s for decades when they smoke if they are so amazing.
3 stars removed for sh*tty service
2 star removed for BLAH FOOD
1 star added because the idiot behind the counter actually opened the door for the elderly man who made an order to go. At least he wasn’t completely useless, he’d make a good door drop but I can definitely say he should leave the customer service and cooking to someone else!

I am so confused. Why in the world does this place have so many stellar ratings? One star for combination of experience, price and quality of of food.
My boyfriend and I are regulars at Dry Dock and got hungry after a couple beers, so we finally decided to give RevneD BBQ a try. When we arrived, there was a family waiting for a large order, so we prepared ourselves for the potential wait.
The man behind the counter appeared to have nothing but contempt and disdain for us for even thinking of coming in and spending our money there, so we decided quickly on the slider combo with beans and order of short ends.
And then came the wait. And wait and wait and wait. We understood that there was a large order ahead of ours, but there seemed to be little to no movement going on in their kitchen. Another man came in and ordered the slider combo as well, and managed to be in and out in about 5 minutes — always a biiig food service faux pas in my book.
After about 25 minutes of waiting, we got our food and went back to Dry Dock to eat. Verdict?
Brisket: cold and tasteless.
Pulled pork: cold and tasteless. BBQ chicken: cold and tasteless
Sausage: we were convinced it was a Slim Jim sandwich
BBQ baked beans: more reminiscent of refried beans, absolutely no hint of BBQ whatsoever.
Short ends: burnt to no end. The meat we found was as dry as beef jerky, and as cold as it too.
Oh! And one rib, which had more cartilage than meat, and bone shards had to be picked out of what meat existed.
So. RevneD and your «Denver style BBQ,» something’s not working here. And from what I saw in the kitchen, it’s all of your employees simply NOT WORKING. I’m completely willing to give good barbeque the wait it deserves, but when everything tastes like its been sitting on the assembly line since last night, I had better be in and out of there faster than McDonald’s.

Stopped here on suggestion from a friend.
You know what? Not a bad little place! Very clean and tidy — pleasant staff. The menu is quite simple yet not lacking in the least. We had ribs, greens, Mac-​n-​cheese, cowboy beans, and some good olé Fanta strawberry!
The meat was simply delicious — we liked that it was smokey and dry rubbed, with the sauce served on the side. The side dishes could have been hotter in temp.
Only complaint was that our dinner was served quite cafeteria-​style… Paper napkins, plastic utensils, plastic basket… and the sides were served in little plastic cups. This food deserves to be presented in a much better manner!
But…we will be back for sure!

Was down here one evening for business and had to eat. After a search for BBQ this came up. I thought the food was great, the staff very good, and the prices great.
I will write more on this but RevneD is a def must if you are in the area. We ate in and everything we had was very good and to order. It was nearly 8 so they were out of some thing (like dessert).

This place is pretty good… I’ll skip right to the business :)
Pulled Pork: great… nice and moist, a hint of smokiness
Ribs: my 3^rd favorite in Denver :) cooked just right but a little lean (get some extra sauce)
Chicken: excellent… wonderful flavor without being dried out
Brisket: nothing special
Links: good old spicy links but nothing really to make them stand out from any others
Sauce: good sauce with very mild flavor, good consistency; Not sure if they have a version with a little more bang available;
Coleslaw: Nice consistency with some very distinct notes of Mayo (without «swimming in it») :)
Collard Greens: not very good
Some items are pretty reasonably priced, especially if you do the specials/​sampler. Definitely will come back to check out some more items when in the area!

Question:
Great BBQ in Aurora?
Answer:
Hell to the yes!
After a Unilocal search, thought we’d stop in for some ‘Q on a Saturday night. Wife had cat fish, ribs and collared greens, I had brisket, hot links and, and Mac & cheese. Everything was delicious and portions were perfect. Give this 8 month new place a shot, you’ll love it.

For the price, it’s a fair meal. As per usual, I couldn’t decide on just one thing *Queen of Indecision* so I thought I’d sample the sampler. Eating less than I used to these days, it was a lot of food of course and despite the fact that I didn’t get a side I couldn’t finish the whole thing. I had tried the pulled pork, the brisket and a rib. I think this another one of those places with an inflated Unilocal rating because of the «hole in the wall» or «small business» factor.
The storefront was nice, clean and well kept. The staff is friendly.
I don’t think I would go outta my way to stop back by in, but if I were making another trip to Dry Dock I might be willing to give them another try. You know, I liked the pork the best of the three. The brisket was excessively dry and the rib was nothing special. In any case, BBQ is one of those food types that has so many styles, that certain sauces and prep methods may not be for everyone. Because of that I’m not gonna say something like, «I didn’t like the sauce» or «didn’t care for the rub». I will say that when eating BBQ I like to have the option of using as much or as little sauce as I want, but here I didn’t feel like I had the choice; everything was so dry.

RevneD BBQ Co, which is actually DenveR spelled backwards, is in Aurora. So congratulations Aurora, this one puts you on the map! Now I know there’s some hospital and maybe a few other buildings or something, but so far, RevneD is really the best thing Aurora has going for it besides Brew Hut.
What RevneD does well in its tittle slice of strip mall is BBQ — there’s even a big old meat smoker out back. There are a handful of sauces to choose from and meet from pulled pork to chicken, with sides like potato salad. Unfortunately, I only had one of the sliders, but now that I know about RevneD, I’ll be back to enjoy all the goodness.

We stopped by for a takeout order. We had the family combo with brisket, pulled pork, and hot links. Meat was very good quality and tasted great. Side dishes were good, especially the cowboy beans.
Owners were very friendly and the place was clean.
Good BBQ has been hard to find in Denver since Big Eddie passed away. I am a fan.

We stopped here today after picking up supplies at The Brew Hut. Very pleasant surprise! We got the family platter, which came with 3 meats and 4 sides. The brisket and rib tips were delicious, but my favorite was the hot links. Everything was smoky, tender, and not dry. The sides were wonderful, especially the collard greens and potato salad. I talked to the owner, and he said the meat is all cooked on charcoal and applewood — no gas or electric!
My only suggestion would be to move the smoker out to the front of the restaurant. The smoke would draw in slightly intoxicated Dry Dock patrons like a magnet.

Yum!
Food:
Smokey, moist, tender meats. They had a choice of chicken, beef brisket or pulled pork and one yummy BBQ sauce the day we went. The sauce is on the side. You can control the amount but you will want to dump the whole thing on! It is a nice twist on a classic BBQ sauce, not too thick and sweet yet not too thin and vinegary, it was just right with a tiny little kick.
They also have ribs; we all got sandwiches. We each had a different meat and they were all very tasty. The sides are also very good too.
I had the mac and cheese. Traditional mac and cheese nothing fancy but well done. The greens were loved by my friends. The slaw was good but nothing special; I’d rather go for something else.
The special we had was $ 2.99, a slider and a side. Great value because the sliders were very generous. A full size sandwich and side is about 7 bucks.
Vibe:
It is bright and very clean with a few pictures of Blues and Jazz greats, they had Blues jamming when we came in. It took the guy a second to warm up but he was nice once he did. A lady, co-​owner/​manager type (not sure her role) came by our table and asked how we liked it and we all chatted for a while. She was very warm and nice. This is a place you go for the food, that is the focus and they rock it. They are also very nice folks.
Overall:
Super yummy! Great for Aurora which needs more good local places and less chains. I will go again and I know my friends who live in the area will be back as well. I will order to go and head over to Dry Dock Brewery, only a few doors down, and have BBQ and a beer.

AWESOME barbeque! I am so happy to see another family owned restaurant open up in this shopping center, since the Greek place closed. This place actually took its place.
The first time I went, I got the combo with one side. They have five meats to choose from, and a vegetarian portabello mushroom option. I got chicken, and my mom got brisket. Both meats were incredibly tender and flavorful. The barbeque sauce is served on the side, and was some of the best sauce I’ve ever had! It’s has a little bit of a spicy kick to it, but its an awesome kick. Not too spicy, but it has a little bit of a smoky flavor.
When you get a combo, you also get a choice of a side. They have five sides to choose from, and we both got the mac and cheese. It was very tasty, and a decent sized little side.
Overall, I will definitely be back here again for some good barbeque. Much better than the chain barbeque I had a week ago, that was overly salty and tough. The folks here are really nice and asked us several times if we were enjoying our meal.
If you are looking for some great barbeque, come on down, folks!
