Bubba Duke’s BBQ

Stopped by Bubba D’s on a Friday outside of DBC. Wanted to try the meats so I got a pork/​brisket combo plate with slaw on the side along with his spicy and mustard sauces. The standout was the brisket and the sauces. The brisket wasn’t dry, it was chopped rather than in slices, but paired very well with both the spicy and mustard sauces. The slaw was more akin to a chopped salad with a vinegar based dressing; alright but wasn’t a huge fan of the kale — it gave it a hint of bitterness which I found unpleasant.
The bummer here and reason for only two stars was the pulled pork. I’m hoping something went wrong with this batch because there was something seriously funky about it, as in I took one bite and immediately spat it out. It had a really weird chemically taste — something familiar that I can’t quite put my tongue on… kerosene maybe? Not sure, but whatever it was, it was extremely unpleasant. I would have taken it back to ask for a refund if I hadn’t been working alone that day.
Almost tempted to come back again to see if the pork is better, but I’m not sure if it would be worth it.

Had the woodchuck burrito: bubba dukes pulled pork, jalapeño-​apple salsa, original BBQ sauce. David provided fast service and a hot tasty burrito. My mouth is on fire, I’m kinda sweaty, its freezing weather outside, BUT it was delicious!

These ribs are NOT up to the par of anyone who actually knows ribs. Dry, overcooked, under seasoned, and you can taste that they used propane to cook them. There’s not a lot of good bbq places in Denver, but this place isn’t even average for this town

Had the pleasure of trying this BBQ at Denver Beer Co. It was delicious. Got the cuban sandwich (which I used to live in NYC so I was judgmental at first) which was delicious. I loved the sauce that was on it. I wish there was a little more sauce because it was pretty dry without it. I also tried the ribs. I love a good char on my meat so I really enjoyed them. Fell off the bone the way ribs are supposed to. They were on the spicy side which I loved! Thanks for a great meal while I snacked on my beer :)

Amazazing!!! (not a typo, for you movie geeks).
Truly a feast for the senses – the buffalo chicken sandwich was ridiculously good; smoky, bit of a bite/​spicy taste added for extra measure.
Do not delay, do not pass go and do not collect $ 200; go directly to Bubba Dukes’ food truck and I assure you, you will not be disappointed.

So far Bubba Dukes has had the best brisket I’ve had since moving to Denver. He understands brisket is supposed to be moist, not dry like jerky (every other restaurant I’ve tried in Denver so far has terrible brisket).
I can’t speak for anything else he makes because I’ve only had the brisket sandwich, but I’ll be going back to this food truck any time I see it.

I’m sorry to have to disagree with the prevailing reviews, but I was not impressed. I made a pilgrimage here yesterday after it was mentioned in an article and after reading the great reviews. I only tried one thing, but based on that, I wouldn’t try anything else.
Other people have raved about the bbq nachos, so maybe you shouldn’t go by me, but I thought they weren’t good.
Maybe my experience was colored by having some of the most amazing nachos of my life this week at Los Chingones, but these were comparable to ballpark nachos with pulled pork.

Mmmm, Bubba’s got it goin’ on! We had the «nachos» and loved them! Big bonus because he makes his own BBQ sauce. Being someone who’s tried to perfect his own sauce for years, that’s no easy task. I’m looking forward to trying more the next time we find him.

I recently used Bubba Dukes to cater an office party, and it was nothing short of deliciously amazing! Everyone raved about the food and wanted to know where the restaurant was located. Ben took care of the set up, clean up, and take down. No fuss, no muss. All I needed to do was pay the (very reasonable) bill, and enjoy the food. There was even a kale slaw that complimented the pulled pork very nicely. I don’t even like kale, but I loved this slaw. I would recommend Bubba Dukes for your next catering event – a unique and yummy choice!

I had Bubba Duke’s while at Epic Brewery, and couldn’t be happier with my purchase. I had their pulled pork sandwich and it was the best one I had in Colorado, it actually might be better than Arthur Bryant’s in KC. If you ever see them out, it is a must!

Had the «B-​B-​Qbano» last night and it may be the best sandwich I have ever eaten in my life. So good. Can’t wait to have another.

I have become quite the fan of food trucks in the past couple of years. After hitting up a few breweries, it was time for food. Thankfully Bubba Duke’s was set up right outside of Epic. Before I even entered Epic, I placed an order for a brisket sandwich and headed inside.
Within 5 – 7 minutes, I had my brisket sandwich with my choice of bbq sauce (sweet) on it and a mess of «slaw» on top of the sandwich and as a side. I’m not a huge fan of slaw, but this was made with vinegar, not mayo, and had lots of chunky red cabbage, so it was already looking pretty good. The slaw did not disappoint and the bbq was pretty good, albeit a bit dry. But I think I just needed a bit more sauce, as I can be heavy-​handed with my liberal application of bbq sauce, so there’s that.
While one would think BBQ is meat-​centric, there was also a veggie option with portobello mushrooms, which I thought was a smart idea.
Others in my party had the bbq nachos, the pulled pork and porchetta sandwiches. Everyone seemed happy, which is a good sign.
Whenever I do see Bubba Duke’s BBQ again, I will definitely stop in, happily.

While going on a ‘Brews Cruise’ around downtown, we ended up at Epic Brewery (but that’s another review!). Bubba Duke’s was there, and as one knows, just smelling BBQ cooking is divine! This mild Sunday in fall made the smell exceptionally intoxicating! Before we even went into the brewery, I ordered the Pulled Pork Que sandwich. Once inside, it was devoured incessantly! It paired well with almost every beer inside. The sauce is akin to a more spicy and tangy Carolina style BBQ, which is a great welcome change from some of the chains that have a sweeter mild sauce. It was marvelous from first bite to last. I enjoyed it so much, I ordered a second sandwich to take home, and as a true master of the sandwich, the person who made it kept the meat, bread, sauce and slaw separate so I could assemble it at home. This kept it from becoming a soggy mess later, and made the experience at home equal to that of the brewery.

Hit this dude up outside of Odyssey Beerwerks in Arvada on a Friday afternoon. Went with the pulled-​pork nacho’s with the tangy mustard sauce. First off, the price point ($ 6) is right-​on with the portion size, i shared the nachos with my buddy and it was a sufficient amount. The pork tasted great. My only issue was that there were almost too many flavors. using the Boulder potato chips (sea salt /​pepper flavor maybe?) adds a lot saltiness and spice to nachos, as opposed to using plain tortilla chips. Add those to the pork flavor, hot cheese sauce, and then a great tangy mustard sauce was almost too much, the pork got lost. But, it was easily a ⁴⁄₅ for me, the jalepenos were hot as well. I will definitely be on the lookout to try more from the cart/​van.

One of my husband’s coworkers recommended stopping by this food cart, and boy are we glad we did. His BBQ is simply amazing. We tried the pulled pork and ribs and loved them both. Though I will warn you, when he says spicy… he means spicy! Ben the owner/​cook is super friendly and, as I said before, makes some damn good BBQ.
As another reviewer said, if you follow him on Facebook, you can see where the cart will be at. When we found him he was right in front of the River North Brewery on Blake.

Dig the nachos! And the muffins are fantastico!

Yeah yeah yeah, his barbeque is amazing. I get it. But what I want to know is have you tried his wife’s BIG cookies?!?

Bubba duke’s is great! If you follow them on facebook you can get a heads up to where the cart will be hangin out, or you can usually find them at the most fun events in town.

Being a Kansas City girl, moving to Denver left me longing for one thing from home: BBQ! After trying a few places (with meh results at best!), I heard about Bubba Duke from his awesome wife and was dying to try it! So off to Denver Beer Co we went and it was AMAZING!!! I probably could have eaten about a pound of the pulled pork and the bite of my friend’s brisket that I swiped while she made a beer run was outstanding! Yeah for awesome BBQ in Denver at last!

What an excellent experience. From the friendly service, to the great locations, down to the superb offerings. Bubba Duke’s is where we go as a family to get our BBQ fix.
I especially enjoyed my Brisket Sandwich and Sweet Potato Chips.
I can’t wait to eat from them again this summer!
