Boney’s BBQ

So, I was hungry after the conference, and hankering for somethingdeliciously filling. Unilocalers told me to come here. I was surprised and disappointed to find that this place closed at lunch (3pm). Gheez! I guess not tonight.
I remembered that the next day and called in an order for pick up with 8 minutes to spare. They were nice enough to take my order, even though they were closing. I walked ver and picked up my meal as they were shuttin’ it down. I ordered pork ribs and brisket with fries and mac ‘n cheese. I discovered when I got home that I didn’t get ribs, but pork shoulder. Sigh. I was hankerin’ for a rib, but at least the pork flavor sufficed.
The pork was tender.
The fries were deliciously seasoned, and had that delicious wimpy thing going on when you pick ‘em up.
The shoulder came unsauced; they gave me two little canisters – perfect.
The brisket came half-​sauced – like it’s supposed to be.
The brisket could gave been more tender.
The smoke flavor emanated from the bag.

Interesting basement location. Service was friendly. They were out of two meat items when we were there, but we really loved what we ended up with. The smoked chicken wings were amazing. The brisket was almost perfect. We only tried one BBQ sauce because that was all that was on the table, but apparently there are more, so… next time.

Food was tasty, huge potions, and great price. They have a bar area and offer cocktails but they were not sure how to make an Old Fashioned — the host said he could put coke and makers mark over ice. Other thank than, solid place to check out.

I don’t usually leave reviews but i had to give them there props. They have the best bbq I’ve ever tasted, it really has a home cooked feel to it. Plus on a hot day the lemonade is very refreshing. I recommend to anyone looking for a good meal convenient to 16^th street

I have to admit that I didn’t have high hopes for this place when my friend and I saw the sign on the street. Being right off the shopping area next to the convention center downtown just doesn’t seem like a successful formula for a good BBQ joint. Well, I am so glad we checked it out!
We ordered a slab of ribs, rib tips, and brisket. The ribs and rib tips were great. They had a really nice rub, nice smoky flavor, and were juicy and tender. The brisket was also good, but it came sliced and I prefer it chopped. As for the sauces, they have a variety of sauces to choose from. My favorite is the spicy vinegar sauce.
Oh, I forgot to mention that the employees are also really nice, and helpful!
When I go back to Denver again, I will be going straight to Boney’s for some excellent BBQ!

Said they close at 5:00pm but really close at 3:00pm what kind of barbecue closes at 3pm. Waste of a drive.

Not too bad — a bit dry but otherwise it fit the bill. The delivery guy came on a bike in the snow — my food was a bit cold and soggy.

Line was up the stairs during lunch hour on a week day! Wow! It took us about 30 minutes before we go to the register. My friend and I shared a two-​meat combo with baked beans and coleslaw. Also got their Strawberry Lemonade — yum. Friend got a beer.
Pay at the front and take a number — they bring the food to you. We didn’t have problems finding a table. Food took a while to come out. They have a variety of sauces to choose from that you can pour in little plastic cups. BBQ was good but not super tender. I think some of the rib tips were a little overcooked actually, but their sauces were all pretty good. And their baked beans were really good! Had chunks of meat in it and such a savory flavor. Cole slaw was decent. I think people raved about the cornbread, and I thought it was good, but nothing to rave about. Strawberry Lemonade was sweet and refreshing — it came in a huge mason jar, too.
It was enough food for the both of us. I don’t know if I’d wait in line that long again for it, though!

BBQ wasn’t very good at all. The beans were so salty I couldn’t even eat them. The staff was super nice and their sweet tea was good. Will never go back.

This place is awesome! Cool environment, awesome food, pretty affordable for what it is.

I came here with high expectations but let’s face the facts, this isn’t Kansas City or any other city known for its bbq.
I don’t know what they use to smoke meat here but it has a weird aftertaste. The potato salad was pretty good and the sauces are great. I had the burnt ends and they were good just not great. My wife had the pulled pork and it was tender but the smoke taste was weird. Maybe it’s just us but I doubt I’ll be going back.

Let me start off by saying that this is the best barbecue I’ve had in a very long time (and I’m from the south) !
The brisket was spot on. True perfection ! The hand cut fries were delish and the Brunswick stew was very tasty.
We sat at the bar and enjoyed ice cold beer and a fairly big tv right in front of us. The owners son (didn’t get his name) was awesome. Very attentive and quick to get anything we asked for.
If your staying in downtown Denver and have a hankering for top notch barbecue this is your go to place hands down. Thank you Boneys for a great BBQ experience in Denver Co. This Georgia girl hopes to return in the future !

OMG! Been looking for a BBQ place to finally give ‘cudos’ to! This is it! Folks-​delicious!
I had a pulled pork sandwich that was spectacular! Meat was tender, full of flavor. Also, the bun was soft and moist. My side was mac-​in-​cheese, the way it’s supposed to taste!
The parents had beef brisket platters. The meat was spectacular! Sides were cole slaw and beans. Now, I don’t like beans too much, but these were damn good!
Go to Boney’s for a great BBQ meal! Definitely going back!

This was a charming place to visit. We were downtown Denver and had 1 and ½ hour lunch break So we thought «no problem», Problem here! It took us about 20 minutes to go through the line just to order. We were told food would be delivered to our table in about 15 minutes. It ended up taking 30 minutes instead. When we tasted the brisket we were quite pleased. The fried catfish was fantastic! BBQ chicken was okay, so was the cornbread. I doubt I would return to this place if I had a smaller lunch break. Overall my suggestion would be have more staff during high volume hours.

The food here is actually pretty good. I would say that the brisket is better than the other major BBQ restaurant downtown because it’s less dry. But the ribs and pulled pork aren’t quite as good. The appetizers here are great. I recommend all of them.
The reason this place gets only three stars is the slow service. I’ve been here three times, and it seems like they only have one cashier to handle everyone’s order. This makes a relatively manageable lunch crowd end up waiting in line for WAY too long. Then they have food runners bring the food out, and the last time I was here it took 30 minutes to bring out my brisket sandwich. I’m sorry, but it should not take that long to make a sandwich when the main ingredient — the brisket — was probably prepared and smoked the night before. Just cut it up, put it on a bun, throw on some ‘slaw, and get that order out.
Generally, I’m a fan of the food at Boney’s. The location is much more convenient than the other major downtown BBQ joint, but the lack of service makes the convenience factor a wash at best.

I wanted to really really like this place… it smelled wonderful and its BBQ, what not to like? I ordered the three meat meal which comes with two sides. My order…
Brisket
Wings
Rib tips
Baked beans with meat
Okra
Brisket was fantastic. perfect smoke flavor
Wings-​best wings I have ever had! Love the crispiness of them…
Rib Tips– not good, chewy and gristly… would not order again
Baked beans-​good flavor
Okra-​pretty good
Service was slow and it took awhile to get the food, I was shocked because it was not busy at all. My water glass was never refilled, even after asking for more.
It was not the food that won’t have me coming back, there was enough that I liked. It’s the service, I was not impressed at the lack of responsiveness to each table.

Super disappointed in my lunch today. I ordered off a grub hub as I was working from home. The order took over an hour which isn’t really an issue, but was delivered in a bag full off bbq sauce (literally everything covered in two open containers of sauce). All of the food was soggy and cold. I ordered the brisket meal with Mac and cheese and sweet potato fries. Besides being soggy and cold the fries were under cooked and most of them still raw. The brisket was okay and the corn bread was inedible due to the soggy issue. I don’t normally post bad reviews but when a shitty lunch cost me 23 $ and some attitude from the grub hub delivery boy… I gotta.
I guess I should mention that my dog ended up having no issues with the fries and corn bread. Pretty expensive dog food tho :/

So we were seated next to the owner of Boney’s BBQ at Union Lodge No. 1. That ended up working out great for us. Our group had planned to figure out dinner while at Union Lodge, so circumstances were in our favor. Another hidden treat within this building!
The five of us were seated promptly. Service was sharp and on-​point. Being that I visited 6.5 months ago, I can tell you their food is really good and the hushpuppies too dry for my taste. I would recommend them

Everything is amazing. I love the mac n cheese, fried okra, baked beans, green beans. For meat, the sampler platter is on point!!!
I’m a regular (when I’m in town) :-)

As a southerner I am always trying to find good bbq and i found it! Everything is so good! But my favorite is the pulled pork. The cornbread is phenomenal! I got a 3 meat plate meal and shared with my daughter. It was plenty. There have a pretty good lunch menu
The staff here is wonderful. So attentive and really polite.

First off, my hubby had been coming here many times before we moved out of state. He always told me I wish I would have brought you to Boneys.
Well I’m so glad we finally came here! The staff, soo soo nice! Taking our order promptly, and checking up on us. Seriously some awesome customer service!
Now for the food. Yum! Yum! Yum! I ordered the Catfish & Meat (brisket) with coleslaw and fried okra. Now, the Catfish was alright, batter was on the salty side for my taste, but the Brisket… And the fried okra. Wow! I think I could have eaten a whole basket of fried okra and been a happy camper! The coleslaw was fresh. I think I might try the collard greens next time I go. The kids loved the fried okra and their side orders of Mac N Cheese. My hubby got Rib Tips (his favorite) and 5 wings, along with fried okra, cornbread and Mac N Cheese. We also ordered a side of fries for the kids, but honestly, we had so much food, there was no need for the fries.
Wow. Definitely coming back again. Great BBQ, Sides, and Customer Service!!!

Solid BBQ and friendly staff. Had the pulled pork sandwich a side of tasty coleslaw and some cornbread. After ordering at the bar they seemed to have lost my order, but when they realized my food never came they immediately comped the meal without missing a beat. Seems like they care a lot about their customers, thumbs up!

My friend and I came here for a quick afternoon snack around 5 on a Saturday. We got seated very quickly. The lady who seated us was very nice and wiped down the menus for us because it had been dirty.
We ordered the 2 meat platter with ribs and pulled pork and fried okra and sweet potato fries as sides. Although the ribs were a bit too charred for my liking, I really enjoyed the flavor of it and how it just falls right off the bone. The pulled pork was a little drier than I expected but still good with some barbecue sauce. The portions were great as well. We wanted to snack on this, but it was quite filling. The total came out to be ~15 dollars which was very reasonable. I would want to come back and try some of the other things on the menu.
The only downside with this place is that it’s kind of hidden, but food and customer service was awesome!
