98.5 KYGO

Listen, I have traveled the state far and wide trying to find the best BBQ. I’ve looked for the best ribs, for the best hot links, for the best brisket, the best smoked wings, you name it. My travels have brought me across some amazing flavors and while I dont know if I can pick the BEST BBQ, here’s some of my favorites for specific items.

Best Rib Tips – Jabo’s BBQ on Arapahoe Road (also some pretty great fries!)

Best Hot links – Brothers BBQ – With several locations around town, I just love how great their hot links are especially paired up with their spicy bbq sauce! They got that perfect heat and crunch and char. Their fries are great too.

Best E-Club / App – GQue BBQ – This place has amazing food (also serves up crowds at Empower Field) but the highlight for me is their E-club and app. When I signed up, I got like 3 items for free right away and just recently got a free Sasquatch sandwich. They definitely make it worth it to sign up and to download the app!
