B-Man ‘s BBQ

Overall Rating and is it worth a visit: 8.25 to 8.5/10 and Yes. B-Man’s is tucked in a small little industrial neighborhood just off Hwy 85, surrounded by camper storage lots, some private businesses, and junk yards. That said, it gives it a nice low key vibe and also has great views of the front range mountains in the distance. Walking up to the building, you get a nice smell of smoke before you open the door, with a friendly staff and welcoming interior waiting for you inside. Outside, you have the primary smoker right front, along side some unique metal pig art. In terms of the food, the brisket was solid and the other meats were on par as well, so would certainly visit again if in the area, but nothing that was a must have. Worth stopping by, especially on a nice weather day to enjoy some good bbq and nice outside seating views, with or without your dogs and family

Interior Description: Gave me small cottage vibes when I walked in, with seating for maybe 30 people. You order at the window and then get your food delivered to your table, either inside or out. Depending on the season, would recommend sitting outside for the views of the mountains and so you can bring your furry friends as well

Pro Tip: Get the brisket and fried pickles, as they are one of the few places that has them

Brisket

0/10 Ranking: 8.5/10

Seasoning: Unsure, but at least salt and pepper

Description: The combo portion came with three lean cut pieces with a nice 1/2″ smoke ring and a perfect fat trim at the bottom. Tender and juicy with a nice bite to the them, but were just a little bit firmer than I would have liked. Not really much for bark, but the seasoning and the smoke is well blended for a tasty and balanced bite each time. They could have used a little more smoke and pepper to it, but absolutely would get this one again and was their best meat overall

Pulled Pork

0/10 Ranking: 8.5/10

Seasoning: Unsure

Description: Juicy with some nice seasoning to it. Tender and melt in your mouth texture, but not mushy and actually had some bark on some pieces as well, which is a feat to accomplish. Was slightly too salty though and could have used a little more smoke flavor to it, but a solid pulled pork overall and would get again. While no sauce is needed, if you did want to add some, I’d recommend the Mild as the best option. It’s the best one for preserving the pork’s flavor, while still bringing a nice sweetness to it that doesn’t over power the meat’s original taste. The Hot bbq sauce takes over the flavor of the pork and the palate. Even though the spice and taste of the Hot is enjoyable, it becomes the only flavor you taste very quickly

Sausage

0/10 Ranking: 8/10

Description: Smoked, cut up, and then sauced. Had a nice meat to fat ratio, while still having a taut casing to it. Could have used a little less sauce to it, but good overall. Would get again, but also not making a special stop for them either

Sauces – Mild

0/10 Ranking: 8/10

Description: A thin sauce that is slightly sweet, but not over the top with it. Has a little bit of acidity to it, with a nice flavor overall. Good with the pulled pork

Sauces – Hot

0/10 Ranking: 7.75/10

Description: Thin sauce as well, that does live up to its name, but goes slightly too far with the heat. Unless you’re a hot sauce fanatic, go easy when applying to your bbq, as it will overpower almost all of the other flavors with its spice. One of the spiciest Hot BBQ sauces in Colorado, so would recommend it if that’s your thing, but if not, proceed with caution

Sides – Fried Pickles

0/10 Ranking: 8.25/10

Description: Pickle chips with a nice light breading and some mild seasoning to it as well. The pickles were crispy without being overcooked and had a nice salt and acidity balance to them. One order should be split between 2-3 people though, but is also a solid value at only $6. Would get again
