Real Good BBQ

KT's stands for Kirk and Tricia (Jamison). It's modeled after Pecos Pit BBQ in Seattle, where the couple hails from. Inspired to open their own pit, the Jamison's took a trip to Memphis to eat barbecue three or four times a day for a week, to learn what real BBQ is supposed to be like. Over the summer of 1991 they wrote a business plan and raised $50,000. In the fall of 1991 they moved to Boulder in their Landcruiser with two dogs and towing everything they owned in a 5x8 U-Haul trailer (their first address was the bank of the St. Vrain river near Lyons). They found the old blue house at 63rd and Arapahoe to rent for the restaurant, and opened January 3rd, 1992.

Editorial Review for KT's BBQ – by Marty Jones

In Short
KT's original location is a two-story layout with a quiet basement dining room just beneath the main room. A velvet Elvis and piped-in Memphis blues add a nice, homey touch. The superb, Memphis-style pork ribs are gently smoked, dry-rubbed bones that are basted and grilled prior to hitting the plate. The rub packs a hit of spicy heat, the lean meat is laced with vague smokiness. Mini Key-lime pies are a tangy meal closer.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

KT's is some of the best BBQ you can get, in my opinion, is always prompt (great for picking up an easy and delicious meal), and has some delightful beans. Though they have pork in them, with a touch of the mild or medium sauce are truly sublime. Very Highly Recommended.

Pros: Food, Speediness, Price, Food

Cons: Location, while hardly far from Boulder, isn't convenient or central Boulderites

4 Star Rating: Recommended

KT's does a great job on their pulled pork and ribs. The sauces are fine. The "Killer Beans" are missing somethiong they need but have too much of stuff they don't need, so stick to the excellent slaw and the mashed potatoes. I still go with Brothers as the better barbecue place, but I usually go to KTs more often because I live in Broomfield. Great stuff most of the time; occasionally inconsistent.

Pros: great barbecue

Cons: closes too early, inconsistent
