5 B's BBQ

Driving down 285 there isn't much to choose from but in Gunnison there are a bunch of options. We stopped here since it was right on the main road. It does have a couple tables on the patio very open concept. Not a ton of parking. You order at the front counter, then take the number back to your table. The menu has great options and is reasonably price for a town. I opted for the pulled pork sandwich and the smoked mac & cheese. I was surprised that mac & cheese is an up charge and considered to be a premium side. Not as many side options as I'd hoped to choose from. The food was under season and a little lackluster. Neighborhood spot but not somewhere I would go again if I was driving through.My friend got a burger, which was undercooked in the middle and when she brought it up to the server at the bar, he took it back and didn't offer to remake or refund her meal.

We decided to try 5Bs Barbecue based on other reviews and word of mouth, so we took the family out for a meal. The menu had a decent selection, though the kids' menu seemed a bit lackluster. For example, one chicken strip with fries for $8 felt overpriced.We ordered two brisket plates, each with two sides. I specifically asked for fatty brisket on mine, and we also got a two-meat plate with pulled pork and brisket for the kids to share, along with a grilled cheese from the kids' menu. The orders came out in a respectable amount of time, but unfortunately, the portions were less than expected.Both brisket plates were fatty, which was fine for me, but my wife did not enjoy hers as she had not ordered it that way. Oddly, the two-meat plate came with lean brisket instead. The brisket itself was moist and tender, but it lacked flavor. My wife ended up not eating hers due to the excess fat.The sides were a mixed bag. The fries and mac 'n' cheese were good, but the coleslaw had a strange aftertaste, and the potato salad was excessively wet and lacked flavor. The meat plates also came with pickles, fresh jalapenos, and pickled onions. While the pickles and jalapenos were fine, the pickled red onions were surprisingly bland.On a positive note, the kids enjoyed their meal, but overall, I wouldn't return or recommend this place. Despite the decent service, the food quality just didn't meet our expectations.

Stopped for lunch. Rib plate had 5 bones, great flavor and tender with Beans and bread. Side of potato saild was good but over priced. Coke over priced too. Small parking lot or street.

I went here twice in 3 days in Gunnison. The first day I ordered the taternater. It was a loaded potato with cole slaw, pulled pork and barbecue sauce. The pulled port in particular was excellent. The next day I ordered the 3 meat combo meal that came with beans, cornbread and another side and I chose fries. The chicken was great, brisket a little fatty but good flavor and the sausage was good. The beans were good but could have used maybe some Barbeque sauce and red pepper maybe. The Barbeque sauce tasted like some of the sauces you get in KC (tomato based with sugar and garlic) but the ones I like best also have a touch of red pepper. Overall all really good. I would recommend a little bit of red pepper in bbq sauce, beans and sausage and it would have been 5 stars. Recommended if you like Barbeque!

I really enjoyed this restaurant! Everything was very tasty (especially the ribs) and the service was extremely quick! There's a nice seating area and everything you need at a restaurant. Overall, very satisfied!

We hosted a memorial and had 5Bs cater it for 75 people. Jessica Brown was so accommodating and friendly. The food was fantastic. It was an outside event and the food stayed warm throughout the entire day. Such a friendly local business that knows what they're doing. We've been there many of times to just eat (always amazing) but the catering was over the top easy, convenient and delicious.

If you're headed to Black Canyon of the Gunnison from Denver you're probably going to get hungry along the way, and in the event that that does happen, you should probably stop at this BBQ place because it hits all the marks and is overall a pretty awesome spot.Plenty of parking, plenty of seating, super clean inside, a friendly crew, decent prices and everything we tried was delicious.Ii hadn't been before and kind of wanted to sample a lot of things so I just ordered a plate with a variety of their meats. Some brisket, chicken, sausages, pulled pork and a single rib. Everything was on point, and I'd order it all again, but the rib really stood out. They had em on special for $1.50 per rib, and I ordered it as an afterthought but it turned out to be the best thing on the plate. Perfectly smoky and literally fell complete off the bone with no effort at all. Fantastic. Long story short, this is exactly what you should expect from a good BBQ joint and you can rest assured that if you stop in you'll be pleased with the food.Would return for sure if in the area again.5 stars.

Pleasantly surprised. Brisket was tender, ribs were moist. Didn't love the sides, but the meat was all good.

As soon as you walk up to 5 B's BBQ you're greeted by the delicious smell of their smoked meats. The friendly staff suggested their most popular item: The Tatornator. It was piled high with just about everything but the combo of brisket and coleslaw really puts it over the top. Highly rated too is their basket of wings. Simple yet perfectly cooked with that homemade BBQ sauce. Definitely easy to spot in town and a great place for a meal.

The food here is very good. Interesting options you can't get just anywhere. Lots of tv's to watch the game and cool open air environment. Definitely a place to come back to.
