Beef Ribs to die for. And if my wife reads this she'll probably take care of that little detail for me.
Great new sandwich too.
Wish I had 6 Stars. What a great lunch.
Now home for a shower. That's how good the ribs were.
Lots of flavor and really great ribs.
Consider me a fan. -

Went to Brother's on Arapahoe tonight. It was dollar rib night and the place was packed. I was picking up a take out order that I called in and it was ready and waiting for me when I walked in. The staff was smiling and friendly and they double checked my order and made sure everything was there before having me pay for it. Pretty good service if I do say so.
I had the beef ribs and my wife had the half a chicken. Both were moist and very flavorful. This was probably the best meal I have had from Brother's. Sometimes the smoke flavor can be a little overwhelming, but not this time. It was great!
If your going to go, go on a Thursday and take advantage of dollar rib night. You won't be disappointed. -

My girlfriend and I were visiting Denver from out of town and decided to stop in at Brothers' BBQ to watch the NFL playoff games and eat. We ordered two sliders and a couple drinks, to give us time to decide on our main course. I ordered a Jameson on the rocks and she ordered a Vodka and tonic, both of us making it a double.
Well, here's the thing: My "double" was about to consist of a typical rocks glass, with only a little extra liquor poured in it. Yet I was charged for two full drinks at $6.50 each. $13 for a glass of Jameson? Those are Las Vegas bar prices, guys. My girlfriend was similarly charged double for a glass with (I'm not kidding) only the tiniest amount more liquor. Luckily, they didn't have enough Jameson to fill my glass, so I opted to just grab a beer and get refunded the extra money (which was a nice gesture, and I do appreciate it).
The sliders were good. The drink prices were outrageous for what we got. We left and went down the street to Pho Saigon, ordered an appetizer, two full-course meals, and two beers for less than what we paid at Brothers'. -

About two months ago I had some carryout and I guess I forgot to review it then.
I know I had the pork and beef. Just like Yazoo, they don't have fries. So we tried the beans and the cole slaw. I remember thinking the sides weren't that good. The meat was fine. The sauces were fine.
Overall it wasn't a wow plate of barbecue. So I guess that's why I didn't remember to review them right away. Not bad, but I've had better elsewhere. -

Its a little pricey. Yazoo BBQ was closed and i was forced to go here. The food came out quick, and the meat was tender. Big portions to fill you up as well.

Must be said that before you even park you can smell the heavenly aromas of BBQ!
The new beau recommended this place and he has made some great food picks so I trusted him once again. He is still 20 for 20, this place has some great BBQ.
I wasn't expecting counter ordering, but was more than happy to comply if the the food tasted as good as it smelled. He ordered the hot link sandwich with no bread and a side of mac and cheese. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with no bread and a side of potato salad.
The food was brought out to us with their 4 BBQ sauces, a sweet, a tangy, a spicy, and a traditional. I mostly enjoyed the sweet but tried them all and they were all pretty good.
Hot Links - The overall restaurant experience was a 4 but the hot links were a total 5!
Pulled Pork - Yummy, but not as good as the hot links.
Mac and Cheese - Classic Mac and Cheese, nothing special here.
Potato Salad - Mustard based and very good. I would order a bucket of this to take home. This is one of those recipes that people would ask you for.
Great fun and great food. I would drive an hour out of my way to get this BBQ. -

The coworkers and I were looking for something delish for a Friday lunch and we mutually agreed on Brothers BBQ. We had not had it in quite some time so we decided to split the chicken meat pack which for $22 dollars included: a pound of chicken - chopped, a pint of beans, a ball of fries and a good sauce portion. Also included 4 rolls.
The chicken was moist and was even better when we mixed it in the original sauce which had a spicy kick to it for sure. There was enough for 4 generous sandwiches and there were definitely fries left over after we had our fill - the fries are pretty tasty.
We also got the chicken wings which were too awkward to eat - they are still attached by the joint so they kind of creeped me out so I did not try them so I cannot tell you how they were.
Another coworker got the ribs and assumed they would be pork - they were beef and huge bordering on Fred Flintstone status. She said they were OK but prefers pork so be sure to specify when getting take away! This is a good go to place. -

To-die-for bbq! I love their bbq chicken- it is smoked to perfection. Fries are fried with skin intact and are delicious. Large generous portions. Definitely good to come hungry.

In a neverending quest to refine how I personally apply the Yelp rating system, two of the key questions I've been asking myself is "Would I recommend this place?" and "What would I tell them to try?".
This is a classic 3 star joint. The food is fine. The sauces are a bit pedestrian (combining the sweet and original is a tad better I think), the BBQ is ok, the star (such as it is) on the plate is, strangely enough, the fries (they are big, crisp, and oh-so-good-for-you).
They slice and grill the hot links, and they are probably the best meat I have had there. They are missing a combination that includes ribs (neither the 2 or 3 meat shows them as an option) which is annoying. I remember the ribs being good, but not that memorable (don't parse this sentence too closely).
The beans are super peppery, which I like.
Overall, a solid ***. There's better, there's worse, and it would be hard to imagine a "You have to go there and try the......." recommendation. -

This is a place that my co-workers seem to love to go to, however I am not very fond of it. I'm not a big fan of this kind of food in general, and the whole place just kind of strikes me as being dirty.
I always get the salad with chicken. It's not terrible....and seems to be the healthiest thing on the menu.Listed in: Lunch Spots in the DTC

The ribs were pretty darn good. I was impressed. The mac n cheese was good, but catered towards the adult tastebuds. It's got a kick to it! I loved that little sneaky jalapeno pepper. Collard greens were quite tastely.
The service was friendly, however I could have used a refill or two of sweet tea!
My only complaint was, I found most of their food on the salty side, and not in a good way.
I plan to try this place again soon. -

You may say that a gal from Ohio, who lived in California and is now in Denver doesn't know good BBQ, but I can only tell you what my taste buds say :) ......
I am intent on trying to find my way around Denver and learn about as many places as I can... and I really wasn't in the mood for BBQ when I came here. I really didn't know WHAT I wanted. But as soon as I opened the door to go in I was hit with that smell.... that super yummy smell of BBQ. I was hoping that this food would taste as well as it smelled.
I got my order TO GO ( I don't like to eat alone too often, the plight of a business traveler)...
I ordered the BBQ Chicken Sandwich with a side of coleslaw and mashed potatoes/ gravy. And just to try something else I got a Hot Link Sandwich on a bun.
I ate the Hot link Sandwich first... DELICIOUS!!!! I love that it was spicy, but not until AFTER I started eating... it wasn't something that was instantly hot, it was like a slow rising heat. Loved it.
The Mashed Potatoes are decent enough .. they are redskin potatoes.
The coleslaw was not too good. I don't like my slaw too dry, and this was...
The chicken sandwich. Hmmmm. It was a ton of carved up chicken on the bun. The BBQ sauce was on the side. I mixed it up with my chicken and can't say that it WOW'd me..... i think i could have used a little more sweet... and it would have been perfect.
I went in there on a Saturday afternoon, there is a little bar with a tv showing college football... and there are some seats for you to sit and eat... most people coming in where ordering A LOT (in bulk) to go... so it seems like a really popular place to go in this area.
Oh, they have signs that say they deliver!... Maybe I'll try their ribs next time.. but I surely did like that hot links!! -

Came in here for lunch the other day. I've worked nearby for years and never been in. I absolutely love BBQ (namely, Brisket) and maybe that was my issue... Their brisket was okay, but nothing to write home about. It tasted almost completely flavorless and even though I drenched it in the sauces there was still not much flavor.
The restaurant itself is counter service. They bring your food to you relatively quickly. This place can turn into a nightmare at lunchtime with all the traffic and everyone else coming in, so just be warned! -

I had their pulled pork here today, which was okay, but it didn't have much smoky flavor to it and it was a bit on the dry side. The sauces were okay, but nothing special. The sides were not good at all (potato salad and cole slaw) but I never judge a bbq restaurant by their sides.
I have a general pet peeve of places that ask for tips on the credit card receipt before you are served. This place does that.
It's an average place, but on the bottom of my list for bbq. (That being said, I am from Texas, where bbq is a religion) -

This KC guy appreciates a good BBQ joint and Brothers isn't trying to be any "style" bbq, they just stick to the basics and especially do ribs pretty darn good.
The whole joint also gives me the feel of what a BBQ joint suppose to be, a simple walk up and order, a few specials ($1 ribs on Thursdays!!!), a spicy version of their sauce (always a must) and a place wreaking of that oh so good smell of bbq-ed meats on a fire.
Keep u the good work guys and I'll keep coming back. -

I made it back to Brothers for a second trial. Two main points:
1. The beef brisket sandwich was a lot better than the "brother" sandwich. However, the chopped beef in it still had some tough ends that don't jive well in a sammich. And I was forced to get the combo, even though my appetite wanted the 'wich ala-carte. So no major redemption here.
2. The service was a clusterf**k. Really. I forgot about this on my last review, but they ask your name at the counter, and give you a number. Okay, sure. Maybe a little unnecessary for both, but let's just see where this goes.
Next, they bring out everyone's food except mine. Probably fine, considering we all ordered separately and had separate numbers, but after waiting for several long minutes, I start to get impatient. I then see what looks like my sandwich being offered to table after table, with nobody claiming it. When I see dude taking the basket back to the kitchen, I get up and claim it, and he takes the number placard. Apparently that one wasn't mine though, a few minutes later a different fella wandered around to every table with a sandwich asking for Brandon. I didn't bother to help regulate; it seemed like a situation that would eventually resolve itself.
But the point is this: during peak times, like lunch, it's chaos.

Went to meet some friends for lunch today. I know I've eaten here a time or two before and had them cater a party I attended. Each time the food was decent, yet forgettable.
I had the Brothers special which was a link chopped up along with some pork shoulder on a bun, and I chose potato salad for the side. It was all passable as food, but not what I'd call good BBQ. No smokey flavor, the sauce was overwhelmed by the slaw on the sandwich, the potato salad was ok.
If you just want food, this is more than a capable joint to go. If you want good BBQ, there are better places. I'd much rather go to Jabos kitty korner from the joint for some real BBQ. You may pay a bit more and wait a bit longer, but the love in the food makes it much more worthwhile IMO. -

Damn my co-working talking about BBQ the other day! It started in me a craving, and once I get a craving I simply MUST have that particular food...in this case BBQ. Being new to the BBQ scene in Denver (I just moved here) the boyfriend took me to brothers, which he described as being similar to Famous Dave's only faster. (I shamelessly admit I like Famous Dave's....because their sauce ROCKS) Anyway...
The food was ok. I had a pulled pork sandwich with fries. The fries were good. The meat was OK and the sauce could have been better...The meal was OK. (Yes I know I keep saying OK but thats all I can say of the place). Did Brother's BBQ settle my craving for BBQ? Yes, but next time I will go somewhere else as this was not my new favorite BBQ restaurant. -

This is a weekly staple for me. Yesterday the S.O. got sucked into a show on Food Network where they highlighted a BBQ place in CA. Naturally, we had to turn off the tv and head to Brothers.
Brisket really is ridiculous. And i'd pay a serious amount of cash for the recipe for their beans. oh. my. god, they are good!1 Previous Review: Show all »

Chicken was dry, service was not very good. Guy just dropped the sandwiches on the table like he didn't care.
Hot BBQ sauce had no spice to it at all.
The brother was a big dissapointment. Was not impressed. -

So I decided to go to this place, after my first options were closed. I ordered ribs and beans. I think I can cook better beans. They were sour and overpowered by fresh peppercorn. The only I forced myself to eat them was because I paid for them. The ribs were ok...nothing an ordinary griller can't make. The sauces they offered were mediocre. First and last on my book.

We have eaten here several times. We have never been let down, but I would say the food isn't the best. It is good though. They have good bbq pork and good sides. The food is not thrilling or exciting, but the menu covers exactly what you'd expect to see at a reasonably priced fast-food-ish BBQ joint. I do recommend it for a good, basic BBQ meal.

Decent BBQ but the portions are too small and too expensive. They have a nice selection of BBQ sauces, but my fav is the Original. I'm wondering though, why don't they have corn bread as a side? I don't want a freaking bun with my food otherwise I would have ordered a sandwich.

FINALLY BEEF RIBS. Tender, jucy, love it. Went here 2 days in a row. Brisket & hot links are awsome. baked beans were okay. Fries rocked. Cole Slaw & Mac n cheese need help, both are too watery. Great place for kids.

I used to frequent this place a lot when I lived near enough to pick up a dinner and walk home. They were my favorite BBQ place in town back when I didn't know any other BBQ places. They feel a bit like fast-food BBQ. Maybe it's the restaurant. It doesn't really have a cozy, hang-out-a-while kind of vibe. It makes me more inclined to pickup my meal and take it home, but now I don't live near enough to make that a feasible option. It's not anything I'd personally rave about, but they do have some good BBQ, good sauces, good sides. I enjoy it best as a summer afternoon lunch, where I can go and get my BBQ fix without turning on the grill.

3.5 stars. Used to be my favorite BBQ. Brisket was awesome but alas their sauces have been far surpassed by others. Their baked beans (with pork) are still outstanding.
I tried all their sauces hoping to repeat what I'd experienced elsewhere. None of them compared to Dragon's Spit from Famous Dave's nor the Carolina Mustard at Smokin' Dave's BBQ in Estes Park. I've yet to find better in the South metro / DTC than this though.
Service was fine (it is more like a fast casual restaurant) but I dined at a very slow Monday dinner. -

YUM-YUM-YUM!!! Stopped into Brothers on my way home from work for a quick bite. I had a super fresh BBQ chicken sandwich. The chicken was moist and there was plenty of it. The bun- super soft. I opted for the sweet sauce- delicious. The fries were crispy & hot. Washed it down with a cold brew!!! Hit the spot

My company hired Brothers BBQ to cater lunch for us on this week. Besides the coleslaw being kind of flavorless, it wasn't bad. The beans were REALLY good and the chicken was moist and well prepared. What really got me was their spicy BBQ sauce. Oh man! It made my eyes water & my nose run! There are not many chains that make food that spicy. I am usually disappointed by most establishment's definition of spicy. There was actually so much food left over, I took a large cup from our break room and filled it with the spicy BBQ sauce and took it home. I intend to do something neat with it (I love to cook and get a kick out of getting to use unique ingredients). I have never eaten in one of their establishments, however their catering is not bad at all and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for this type of food to be delivered to their office, get together or any other event. I don't know if I'd ever actively seek out their food again, but it was just fine for a free lunch.
