Bono`s Pit Bar Bq in Englewood

Been here numerous times. Service is quick, food tasty and good selection of sauces. Try the baked beans, big chunks of meat are included!

3.7 stars.Ribs were the best part. Have definitely had better smoked meats.

Best BBQ I've had in Colorado! Friendly staff and great atmosphere for the family. I'll be back again

Was able to sit on the patio for dinner. Great options on the menu from ribs to turkey to brisket. Food was great, variety of sauces were offered. Overall small portions for the price but will definitely go back

I am originally from Georgia. I absolutely love this BBQ stop! Was so excited for Brunswick stew, fried okra and black eyed peas! Did not disappoint! The brisket is amazing!!

meat comes straight off the pit, defiantly good enough to keep you coming back

Favorite bbq in colorado!

Not impressed at all. We ordered the bbq feast, one pound sliced brisket, half a pound of jalepeno cheddar sausage for the sides; mac and cheese, fries, stew, a kids meal chicken tender and one drink. The food was not good. I had a couple mouthfuls of chunks of fat and another of a bone when I was eating the brisket. The stew had so much pepper in it but I ate it because that was essentially my meal. The fries had no seasoning and the mac and cheese was bland. On top of the food being WAY less than expected, thanks to all the rave reviews..... we were overcharged for a drink. But that's on my husband for just paying and not bothering to insure it was correct. I just love wasting money. 🙄🙄🙄

Inedible. We were shocked. Meat was as if it had been frozen and reheated - very dry and tasteless. Fries were stale, unseasoned (not even salt), and also tasted as if they’d come out of a frozen bag. I can’t believe the positive reviews this place got.

Delicious meat!!! Cooked and cut in front of you (if you're at the bar). A good place to get an inexpensive rib fix.

I love their BBQ brisketsNice service and good food

AMAZING BBQ. A MUST HAVE. Love their cinnamon butter for the sweet potatoes or sweet potato fries! Their Hickory Red BBQ sauce is the best BBQ sauce I've ever had!

First time visiting and it was ABSOLUTELY amazing! Make sure to try the banana pudding!!

If the food was as spectacular as the Smokey BBQ smell that excites you when you walk in, I'd give it 5 stars. Unfortunately the brisket and pulled pork combo I ordered was bland. I guess you're supposed to add flavor using 1 of the 4 BBQ sauces that sit on the table (for who knows how long) none of the "sauces" tasted very fresh. The "pulled" pork was "sliced" for some reason The brisket was dry, I never did TASTE the "Smoky" flavor that you smell when you walk in the restaurant. Too bad, the smokey smell lures you in, the food did not live up to it's billing.

Amazing bbq my whole family loved it! Everyone ate everything it was great

Honestly some of the best wings I have ever had. They are smoked perfectly and then tossed in buffalo or bbq sauce. The green chili is also really great and has a nice spin on normal green chili as they use pulled pork. The staff is incredibly nice as well. Come here almost every week and it is truly a quality establishment.

I've been going to this restaurant since they opened, back in the day! I love there food, staff has been always above and beyond. Oh yeah and the food, killer!

My wife and I ordered takeout from here during the COVID-19 pandemic. The customer service was fine, but the food was plain bad. Since we ordered in the evening, I suspect the food was prepared in the morning and sat the entire day. The fries seemed like they were made the day before and were reheated in a microwave. That's the best way I can describe it. I threw the green chili away - it was unnaturally spicy and tasted bad. Not sure if they are having supply chain issues but the quality of food was something I would expect from an all you can eat, cheap buffet. My dog enjoyed the green beans.

Good food. Friendly service. Great place to meet friends for lunch!

Great lunch place for a great price. The brisket is the nomiest. I like the hickory sauce. Great ambiance.

Southern boy trapped in California vacationing in Colorado here. Short answer: GO EAT HERE! This place made me miss home, the black eyed peas are divine (can't really find them in California) the pulled pork is fantastic with great mustard based sauce options. Just the smell of the place when you walk in is worth a trip. Go here, you won't regret it!

I'm genuinely surprised by the relatively high ratings.I will say that the customer service is absolutely 5 stars! The host, servers and support staff are very friendly and helpful. BUT, the food is not good. At all. We ordered a full rack of ribs to share. And literally ate 3 of them. The ribs tastes like they'd been previously frozen and reheated - they were dry and lukewarm. The fries were flavorless, not even salted. Baked beans were too tangy and also lukewarm. We still paid our bill, and the server gave us a free icecream and cookie, but I will never return to this establishment again.

Friendly service and a very clean place, but excepting for the smoked turkey(which is EXCELLENT) the food is only ok. You cant really go wrong with bbq, but it tastes like chain food. The burnt ends are not so carmel, their black eyed peas dont taste homemade, their pork is... Good enough.thing is, this area has a ton of bbq places, and this doesnt compare to yazoos or jabos.

Service 100Food 80Cleanliness 72Quickness 100Good quick BBQ even though I didn’t care for the sauces. The tried to sit me at a dirty table first and then finally sat me at a table with salt all over it(no biggie). I had the 3 meat platter 2 ribs were great, pulled pork was kind of a weird consistency(like it had been boiled), the brisket was juicy and tender(stick with the brisket). It came with green beans in water with chunks of what I think were potatoes(not my fave) and green chili for the other side that was so peppery I only could handle a few bites. Food came out in less than 2 minutes and my whole experience was less than 15 minutes but I have to give the servers credit they were on top of it! Overall if I came back I would stick with the brisket and try another side.

Food was quick and was really good

Stopped for lunch to go and everything was great! The green Chile (as a side) was terrific and the meat was flavorful! I’ll definitely be back!

Great food and service. We sat on the patio and was very comfortable and well attended to. We will return!!

Good bbq, loved the sides.

Service was very quick and friendly, but the food was only 'okay', and the price felt a little high.I'd recommend their pulled pork sandwiches.

Me most delicious BBQ 🤗 I wanted barbecue and I went to the right place... Will definitely be back...

The brisket was great! Good amount of bark but still tender and (I do not use this word lightly) moist. Also got some mild sausage and it was great. Cole slaw is traditional. Green beans were definitely from frozen or canned but had bacon and good flavor if not maybe a little mushy. The Mac n cheese had too much pepper in it. It's a staple in my kids diet but they weren't enjoying the heavy dose of black pepper. For adults, it was fine. Id say it's an average Mac n cheese...could definitely be creamier and it had a taste that it wasn't made fresh today ..maybe warmed from frozen? Overall review ... Go for the meats and ignore the sides!

I was working an insane week in the animal ER and needed something to feel like I was pampering myself, but also comforting and filling. Holy WOW. SOO GOOD. It was delivered early and still hot!! The ribs were 👌👌👌 and the corn nuggets made my day. Ooh and the brisket. I tried another place recently and realized how moist Bono's was.

This is a really good bbq joint! Everything is cooked very well there, and if you sit at the bar, you’re right in front of all the meats. I got the pulled pork sandwich as a “hawg” (double meat built like a Big Mac) and it was delicious. The pork comes without sauce, but they have 4 different sauces on the table to choose from and you can put as much, or as little, as you’d like. The owner/manager (Alex) is a super nice guy and seems to run the place very well. Been back several times and will continue to do so.

nice friendly staff, food was good for the price.

Great BBQ. The owners are on top of things to make sure the food is good and the staff takes care of customers.

The service was great! The food was pretty good too. I got the Wednesday special: this double decker style pulled pork sandwich with 2 sides... mac & cheese and green beans. The green beans had a good kick to them, the mac & cheese had good flavor too. The sandwich bread was very greasy and the meat was dry. They do have multiple Bar-B-Q sauce options on the table, which were delicious and helped with the dryness. All-in-all, it was a decent meal for the price.

Good food and great service!

This place looked promising and sounded promising with 4 stars. We ordered the sweet corn nuggets and a 3 meat platter with sides of black eyed peas and Brunswick stew. The corn fritters were overdone. Hard little rocks, pretty dry on the inside. At 6 bucks we should have sent them back. The ranch dipping sauce did have a nice garlic flavor. The 3 meats were pulled pork (bone dry), St. Louis ribs (good flavor but very fatty and greasy), and beef brisket (juicy and flavorful). The Brunswick stew was tasty enough but the black eyed peas were stewed with tomato chunks - my wife didn't care for that. The service was good, that is why 2 stars. The food was passable with only the brisket a highlight. The servings were not generous and the prices a bit high for what you got. Not a great dining experience and one we won't likely repeat. Not sure how the place got 4 stars.

Just like back home! It's been a couple years since I've been back home to Jax and had the chance to get some Bono's, then I found out there was one in Denver! It's incredible, it was exactly what I needed! Get the turkey and some corn nuggets, you won't be disappointed.

Great value-especially the family meal. We got it for the two of us so to have additional meals with leftovers. Smoked turkey REALLY good too in addition to pulled pork. Baked sweet potatoes also good.

Good BBQ. Good value. Off the beaten path and not to crowded.

Food very well done will go back again

Best BBQ ever! Service isamazing and fast. Highly recommend this place

BBQ pulled pork and brisket was amazing! Tender with a lot of flavor!

Pulled pork was completely dried out. Corn nuggets were over cooked and tasted burned. The brisket was tasty. I really don't care for any of their BBQ sauces. The waitress was attentive and friendly, she should get a job at a better restaurant. We won't be returning or recommending Bono's to anyone.

Another city another BBQ joint. This one we weren't extremely fond of. The staff was friendly and attentive. However the food was ok. This place however is a chain restaurant, so our expectations weren't too high. The one side they had that was amazing was the fried corn on the cob. That's a must have. The Mac and cheese was very blah, baked beans were very good, the potato salad was your normal run of the mill chain style potato salad. We got a rack of baby back ribs. I will say these ribs weren't as fatty as your typical bb ribs but they seemed as though they needed to be smoked longer. The flavor however was good. We tried their banana pudding, which was very good, and a slice of snicker pie. The pie is very good, but rich. This was a nice place to eat at and close by our hotel.

Loved it, Bono's Feast is an absolutely must try. We're a bit hefty eating folks and it's very delicious and delightful.

Just did curbside pickup. First time customer and won't be the last. We ordered the whole chicken and brisket. Both amazing, tender and delicious! The sides we ordered were the green beans, cole slaw and mac n' cheese. When we picked up the order, the staff asked if I ordered the baked beans...we didn't...and they gave us a pint to try. They were correct....loved it. My family loved all the sides and the food. GREAT STAFF and great food. Can't wait to go again!

The service was great, but I've definitely had better barbeque. Smallest plate I've ever had at Barbeque place.

Excellent service. Food was very good, I'll be back.
