About Slice Public House
Slice Public House is a quick-bite bbq spot in Denver, CO, with a bright feel and counter-service seating with reclaimed wood tables. The kitchen leans into bbq done well, produce is delivered fresh from local growers six days a week.
The signature item to try first is the Brisket Plate, which has earned a loyal following. The rest of the menu rounds it out with options like Pulled Pork Sandwich, Smoked Ribs, Burnt Ends, plus rotating specials that change with the season. Portions are generous for the price point ($$), and the kitchen is consistent — orders come out fast even when the place is full.
On a typical day you'll find a steady mix of office workers, students, and curious tourists, especially around the lunch and dinner rushes. The bar pours frozen margaritas, agua frescas, and a short list of cocktails. There is a thoughtful vegan section that goes well beyond just a salad. The dining room is clean, the music is at a reasonable volume, and the wifi works.
For ordering, you can text ahead to skip the line during the lunch rush. Expect a short wait at peak hours, but the line moves quickly. Whether you're new to Denver or a longtime resident hunting for a reliable bbq fix, Slice Public House earns a spot in the regular rotation.

Honestly impressed. We tried three different items between the table and the Smoked Ribs stole the show. The staff genuinely seemed to enjoy being there which makes a difference. Cannot recommend enough.
Mixed feelings. The Pulled Pork Sandwich was excellent and the cashier was friendly, but my side came out cold and they were out of two of the things I wanted to order. Probably worth another try, but not the experience I was hoping for.
Hidden gem. We were in the neighborhood for an appointment and stopped here based on a friend's recommendation. So glad we did. The Brisket Plate was unreal — clearly made with care. We're already planning our next visit.
Slice Public House has become my regular weekday lunch. Consistent quality, generous portions, and the staff has started to recognize me. I usually grab the Mac & Cheese but I've worked through most of the menu and haven't had a miss yet.
Solid spot. The Mac & Cheese is a standout — bold flavors, well-seasoned, comes out hot. Took off a star only because the wait at the counter was longer than I expected on a weekday. Still, I'd come back without hesitation.
Brought the family on a Saturday and we all walked out happy. Kids loved their food, my partner ordered the Burnt Ends and finished every bite. Prices feel fair for the portions. The dining room was a little loud but that's expected on weekends.
