Broken Bones BBQ

We have heard about this place and have always meant to go and it took our school doing a spirit night aka the busiest night ever, but the service was impeccable and though it was intensely busy, I was treated so well and the stress of the staff didn’t show. And it smelled amazing, I got the Linebacker sandwich and a meat platter for the fam. The beans were perfect and not cliché. The smoked turkey was the family fav, but the brisket and pulled pork were also some of the best we have ever had. Verdict? As a wanna be foodie family, we have a new favorite just about a mile from the house.

Don’t waste your money. $ 28.50 for a sandwich and three meat plate. Could only eat two, cause the ribs were not done. Like chewing a rubber dog bone. And everything taste the same. Go find Rudys you’ll be happier.

I don’t know why people I talked to didn’t like this place. I was pleasantly surprised that they have burnt ends-​that to me is how you know a BBQ place really can do BBQ. The location is less than ideal but the inside is cool, spacious, and clean. Another feature that added points in my book was the different options of BBQ sauce. They have about 6 and they range from hot, smokey, sweet and a mustard base. The overall price of any BBQ is pretty high to me but so are meat prices and if I don’t have to smoke a brisket, pork, or ribs-​then I’m not going to.
I ordered a 2 meat combo and was hoping for 2 sides but it only came with 1 and a piece of Texas toast. What made up for the lack of 2 sides is that I feel I got a great portion size. I ordered sliced brisket and pulled pork (was gonna make a few sandwiches and it made 3), baked beans as my side. The brisket was thick sliced, moist and had a touch of fat (which I like). The pulled pork was good as well but I preferred the brisket.
The baked beans had great flavor and had pieces of meat, onions and peppers. I thought I made a good selection as the amount was more than adequate and the price was about 11 dollars. They also have cup cakes that a local baker brings in I believe. I would definitely go back because the smoked turkey and sausage are my next option. Hope this helps!

So so good! The meats are moist, smokey and very flavorful. I had the chicken and pulled pork 2 meat combo. BBQ sauces are awesome, and memorable! They taste different from everyone else’s… And in a good way. I finally found potato salad that’s not sweet, and a new BBQ favorite that’s worth the trip off the bird dog path. (And I love bird dog).
Great to see a place like this in Monument. GO NOW! ;)

I heard a couple of good comments about this place so I thought I’d try it. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, fried okra and sweet potato fries. The pulled pork was slightly better than decent. Definitely had a smokey flavor and was tender. Okra was a bit less than average. Sweet potato fried tasted like they came out of a frozen bag from the Safeway across the street. Nothing special at all. The cost for pork sandwich, okra, fries and a sweet tea… a staggering $ 15. I much rather spend my money with Bird Dog BBQ than give Broken Bones BBQ almost double the coin for a sub par meal. Put a Bird Dog in Monument!

MY NEW FAVORITE! I’m kind of a BBQ connoisseur and the brisket, turkey and hot sausage was great! I will definitely be back for more. Thanks!

Great local bbq place. Wonderful variety of bbq sauces. Their cole slaw is not overly mayo’d, I love it. And the linebacker is amazing sandwich if your a big eater.

Always good BBQ! Ribs are some of the best around. Can’t go wrong here. Brisket is very moist.

So my search for good BBQ still continues here in Colorado. Talk about being spoiled, being from Oklahoma and Texas BBQ rules! Here not so much. Got the two meat plate let’s see it had 2 ribs and 2 so called not so hot links. All for $ 11. Okra was way too salty. Place is clean. But food is way below average for BBQ

Very inconsistent to the point that the only thing consistent was that the ribs tasted old. Ribs should NOT be hard, dry or have that refrigerant flavor (that usually means were made days earlier and heated up when the customer orders). And a rub should enhance the flavor not inhibit the experience — if I’m scraping off a paste that means there is too much, it’s too wet and it’s trying to cover up a flavor for poor meat quality.
As a chef myself I’ve made my own ribs, salt & pepper are all I use and then add a quick swipe of homemade BBQ sauce. Even leftovers — not that this happens often — taste good after a day or two. Makes me wonder how far in advance Broken Bones BBQ makes their ribs.
I give them kudos for their version of french fries and cole slaw — even though their prices are way too high and the sizes — or portions given — are often inconsistent. The red head behind the counter needs some training in customer service too.
Based on my experience I can’t recommend this place. And I wanted to support local, and have at least one day when someone else cooks!

Great smoke flavored BBQ. The fried okra is outstanding. My only complaint is that for the measure, the portions are really small for the price.

Colorado Springs is a dead town for foodies and as a New Yorker in exile, I suffer greatly. My expectations are generally low from continually being disappointed.
Having said that, Broken Bones is a great locally owned BBQ spot in a sea of franchises. Congratulations to them on their expansion, in effect doubling their space, a clear sign of doing well.
2 meat plate with cole slaw is my favorite. I usually get the hot links and pulled pork… of course smothered in their spicy sauce.
4 stars — you’ll be happy you came!

All the meat tasted the same ! Soaked or injected with some sort of Cajun flavoring that was super SALTY and pretty sure had a lot of MSG. Yuck. Also a «trick» to make it weigh more. BOO! The prices were also high like $ 10 for a sandwich w fries. Meats to go are nearly $ 20 a pound ! They put our ½ pound of turkey & ½ lb of brisket in the same to go box ! Srsly ?
Meat was tender& and the counter girl was very nice, they had an assortment of sauces & the place seemed very clean-that’s why 2 stars, but we will go to «Rudy’s“or «famous Dave’s «, for less money& better BBQ, next time.

This was the only source for BBQ in the Monument area, and as such you will pay a bit of an upcharge. The place recently expanded, which must have forced the to decrease their portions. Now they are overpriced and under-​portioned.

The food is good. The prices are way too high for portion size. No drink included with combos. Can’t afford this bbq anymore. Too big for their britches now that have moved.

At last! A local BBQ that is good! Based on the reviews we went to check it out! We ordered combo of everything and Wow! Everything was good! We had ribs, great bite the brisket was a bit fatty (maybe cook a bit longer), sausage was spicey and tastey. Check it out!

I always prefer to do business with locally owned places. This is a neighborhood joint tucked back in a shopping center. If you didn’t already know it was there, you’d miss it.
The menu board gives you a choice of a junior or a regular. I wanted the smoked sausage, and asked the difference between the junior and the regular. The girl said the small has 2 sausage links and the large has three. I went with the large.
Sadly the large was barely enough to even call a sandwich. 3 links, each about 2 inches long. Did I mention they were ½ links? Yep, sliced in half lengthwise. So, in essence, I ended up with one and a half links total.
I ordered the basket, which included a drink, and the side. I chose the fries, as my side. They came out barely cooked.
I ordered the spicy sausage and the flavor was good, just not great.
Bottom line, is the food was acceptable, nothing to write home about. If Rudy’s were any closer, I’d go there over here in a heartbeat.
The food is simply overpriced for what they serve. The portions are incredibly small for the money.
If they increase the portions, or lowered the prices in proportion to the serving size, I’d give it higher ratings.

BBQ is one of those things that I HAVE to be in the mood for, for me to order it… which is rare! This holiday season, my boyfriends mother thought a nice southern meal would be a delicious change up from our usual ham and turkey for Christmas dinner! Best. Decision. Ever.
**My review is based on takeout only :)
The food is amazing. Cooked to perfection, extremely tender meat with delicious sauces, killer cole slaw, biscuits and beans! Throw some pulled pork on a hawaiian role and BOOM! mmmm!
Prices seem to be reasonable for all we got, for our large party. Perfect!
The hidden location seems to throw some off but it’s right in a strip mall! i’ve found the best hidden gems in the most random of places!
GO HERE! :)

Corner pocket stripmall BBQ!
Speaking for the special seasonal «Linebacker» BBQ sandwich and the side of fried okra I had on first visit– when I saw the description written in marker on the whiteboard, I knew I had to make a tackle (okay, no more football metaphors). Susage, pulled pork, moist brisket and juicy slaw. .. all placed onto a Fresh football-​shaped bun (nice touch), and yes, it was DELICIOUS. Cook told me to add spicy BBQ sauce but this sandwich doesn’t need A SINGLE ADDITION. Good as is. They need to add it to menu permanently. Fried okra was just fine, and I grabbed some mustard BBQ sauce as well. Not bad.
Low expectations as I usually head down the road to Rudy’s in the Springs or Moe’s in Denver. .. and BBQ in Colorado is a little unreliable. .. but glad I finally satisfied my curiosity.
Came back for the ribs and they served them warmed up (not fresh, folks, darn it). .. tasted decent, but had them re-​warm them as a couple were cold on the inside. UGGGGG. Had to throw up 3 when I was originally gonna do four.

Come here for the food – not the atmosphere. Excellent dry with some great sauces. Nice and spicy cole slaw.
