Overall Rating and is it worth a visit: 8.25/10 and Yes. Located in a small strip mall in Littleton, right next door to Locavore Beer Works, Brad’s started as a food truck and has since turned into a small Brick & Mortar, while still operating his catering and food truck options as well. Also, when I say a small B&M, I mean there’s no indoor seating options available, like at all. You walk in, place an order at the register and then can either sit outside on one of the 6-10 picnic tables they share with Locavore or you can head inside to Locavore (as long as you’re also buying a beer from them of course, but they have a nice tap list to choose from) to wait for and then eat your meal, which Brad’s team will walk over once it’s ready. As far as the meat goes, while I typically prefer oak over hickory smoked, Brad does a nice job staying true to his hickory style and delivers some of the smokier meats in the greater Denver area. Where they do get a knock is for not having a current indoor seating option of their own, to truly create their own atmosphere and experience. While the staff is extremely friendly, there’s no real ambiance to speak of with its limited interior and without even a whiff of hickory smoke in the air, they are unfortunately more dependent on being good at the bbq and letting Locavore handle the vibes/environment, especially come cold weather time. That said, they are a top option for Littleton BBQ and with its alliance to Locavore, it still checks all the normal boxes for what you’d expect for a bbq joint. Would come back again.

We drove 45 minutes to come here and we were NOT disappointed. Having not had the best experiences with BBQ in Colorado, we were skeptical. However, we were delightfully surprised with portion size, price, and flavor! My husband and I both got a brisket sandwich with Mac and cheese bites. Everything about the sandwich down to bread, sauce, and pickles was everything we hoped for in a brisket sandwich! We planned on returning the following night, but unfortunately they are closed on Mondays. Going back (yes another 45 min drive) soon!!

We have been customers of Brad’s for over 15 years and love this place. We got take out yesterday and again his food hit the spot! The BBQ ribs are tender, moist but not fatty, and flavorful; the sausage is also tasty and moist but not fatty. The potato salad is the best we’ve ever found in any restaurant and the meat-filled beans are delicious. It is rare to find a BBQ place that has truly delicious, home-made tasting sides. Nearly all the BBQ places we’ve been to have sides that aren’t even as good as those in a carton at the grocery store. So grateful for this place!

Food was delicious, but service was HORRIBLE. Four orders and three were wrong. Guy at the counter was rude with a bad attitude. Server was overwhelmed with requests for BBQ sauce. No ketchup for the fries. Upcharged for a sauce that never arrived despite asking for it three times. If you want tasty food with a side of inappropriate attitude and atrocious service, this is your place.

Ordered the 2 meats 2 sides and a pulled pork sandwich. The brisket was tough- I had to use a knife to cut it, and very fatty- even though I ordered it “lean”. The spicy sausage was good- fried okra was ok- bbq beans were delicious. My daughter said the sandwich was ok as well. I’m not personally a fan of the brisket being cubed- I prefer it sliced thin and long. BBQ sauce is a bit on the sweet side. The young lady working was super friendly.

I’m sure there are others, but its a rare thing to find BBQ this good around here. Also really love how they will deliver to the brewery next door.

YUMMY FOOD!
Got it delivered through ChowNow. The food was ready, but the delivery driver didn’t pick it up! The owner reached out to see if I had received it yet and was extremely kind. Food arrived cold, but a quick reheat and the food was still delicious!!
We ordered: Pulled pork, chicken, baked beans, corn fritters, okra, potato salad and cole slaw 🙂 We will have to try the okra again fresh! Portions were big too. Will def eat again!!

Really enjoyed our food from here. Okra and the beans were very good. I do wish when you order coconut shrimp you got Pinacolada sauce rather than cocktail sauce.

Whatever you guys did to the brisket it’s amazing. Please do not stop. The Mac and cheese are always delicious.

The food at Brad’s Pit BBQ is fantastic, there are a variety of meats and sides. There’s something for everyone—but the pork wing is truly out of this world, perfectly cooked goodness. The baked beans are just as impressive, flavorful with just the right hint of sweetness.
