Ophelia's Kansas City BBQ

Owner's are stellar human beings and even better chiefs. Delicious pulled pork sandwich paired perfectly with TEDxMilehigh and Colorado summertime. Can't wait until they get a brick and mortar home! Keep making delicious KS BBQ!

I was going to bring back food for four family members, since I ditched my husband with the kids (one of whom is a demanding, imperious baby) all day while I shopped for rocks at the Denver gem show. This food truck smelled so damned good from 3 rows away that I finally caved and stopped there on the way out. Grabbed a couple pounds of the pork/brisket mix along with sides for under $40. The man and woman manning the truck today were both so nice, too!! As an afterthought, I tasted their BBQ sauces (both spicy and regular) by putting a dab of each on a napkin. I figured they'd be the typical, generic restaurant supply jugs of gloppy KC Masterpiece garbage. I am DELIGHTED to say I was wrong!! Both were tangy, bright, memorable perfection. The spicy was just hot enough to make you say "hoo!" but not so much that it overpowered the other flavors. The regular was beautifully spiced, but not hot. Definitely a good one for those who can't handle some kick.My family would have been so happy for this...BUT I'm currently sitting in my car eating it with my fingers and I'm not sure there'll be any left for those poor suckers. It's all over my shirt now and IDGAF if I look like a mess as long as this barbecue continues to get to my mouth.

What a great find! As a KC native, not a lot of Denver places compare in giving me a taste of home at a reasonable price, but Ophelia's benchmarks at that level. I had pork, wings, beans and slaw and everything was great. Additionally, I was really late in getting food and the folks went out of their way to open everything back up, and serve me piping hot food in spite of it being 10:30 at night. Great food. Great staff. Great price. A solid bet.

Only giving one star because I can't give zero. The gem show runs 10-6 but you don't show up until 2, foods not ready until 3. Why bother coming? All your potential customers have settled for something else by then.

Another strong showing from Ophelia's outside Alpine Dog Brewery on Friday. Amazing ribs and best pulled pork in Denver. Every Friday night it's a must!

Ophelia's BBQ is amazing! Best BBQ Smoked Salmon ever- and GMO free!!! The brussell sprouts and mac'n cheese bites are also the best sides ever! Get some while it's hot! :)

Best BBQ I've had in Denver. Check their FB page for location and pick up some grub. These guys are always giving away samples - wings and ribs are super good. Always have to get the pulled pork with Brussels sprouts.

The music on friday could be better. Djs couldnt make people dance. The venue is nice.

Because there are SO many food trucks on the Denver scene these days, it is almost hard to choose which one to try. But the buck stops here. Seriously my favorite food truck in town. Brian, the owner, is an absolute doll, and takes so much pride in the food he serves. You can tell he puts a lot of love and time into the final product, and it shows. Favorite Dishes: 1)Pineapple Pulled Chicken. Hands down. SO GOOD. 2) The Ribs. You want to talk about fall of the bone goodness. Look no further. 3) Brussel Sprouts. Fried deliciousness with a secret spice. TIPS: 1.Make sure to get out there early, bc Ophelias is likely to sell out! 2.Come hungry- the portions are very generous. 3.Make a bet with your friend that this is the best KC Style BBQ in town, cause they'll end up loosing and buying you dinner.

It's pretty hard to find good barbeque in Denver. I don't want to talk too much smack on the poor excuses for barbeque around here, but Ophelia's food truck is legit. Being from Kansas, I must say Ophelia's lives up to the "Kansas City Barbeque" name. The pulled pork is incredibly moist and tender with great smoky flavor. The pineapple chicken has great flavor and is incredibly juicy. I've tried the brussels sprouts, potatoes, and onion rings, and they have always been quite good. The owner seems to enjoy making barbeque, and he said he was from Kansas City (Go Chiefs!). He serves up very generous portions. If you've never been, just let him know and he will be happy to offer you a free sample. I try to track him down for lunch whenever he posts up downtown (usually around 17th and Lawrence or Larimer), and if you work downtown, you need to check it out next time you see the Ophelia's truck.Thank you for your passion, enthusiasm, and generosity! Ophelia's is one of the best food trucks around. I can't wait to stop by again!
