No other BBQ joint can touch the shrimp at Big Hoss — and we can't keep our hands off them. Served in a trough and doused with Hoss Orwat's special sauce, they're as close as you can come in Denver to the taste of the vinegar-sharp and spice-shot barbecue of the South Carolina tidewater region. And once you're done with the shrimp, pour the rest of that thin sauce over a plate of pulled pork brought naked from the kitchen. An order or two of shrimp, a couple PBRs off the tap, maybe a side of fried cheese and a Jim-Beam-and-Coke float for dessert, and you're well on your way to another memorable night at Hoss Orwat's house.

I think Jason must be getting a little schizy. He puts this place in a Best of Denver category and then this week he says Big Hoss as gone to hell in a handbasket and the last time he was there the food was inedible.

Seriously? Once again, Sheehan needs to give a shout to Big Hoss? and in this case, make up a category to even get their name on the list this year. This place is just bad BBQ in Denver, with the worst service. Please just stop the unnecessary plugs for this place. Let them survive on their own without the shameless hype.
