Big Hoss Bar-B-Q

3961 Tennyson St.

Denver, CO 80212

720-855-3061
Website

This is the kind of neighborhood joint that everyone ought to have in his neighborhood, a place that’s both casually friendly and aggressively social, that serves both PBR on tap and super-call whiskey, and that offers the menus of both a champion barbecue restaurant and a decent locals-only steakhouse. Carolina pork shoulder, closed-pit Texas brisket, fried cheese and half-chickens in Alabama white sauce -- what are you waiting for? Big Hoss Bar-B-Q is one of the best all-around spots in town. - Jason Sheehan

Review by Marne3RDdog
Overall:

Ah, a brand new BBQ place and it's looking good and close by. We read the sign to see when it was open, didn't see a sign but people were inside so we went in. First thing the waiter said: "We don't open until 5. The cook just got here and is getting the kitchen ready."
As it was 4:50, we didn't care and didn't see why we needed to know the cook just got there. We could have been seated and given our drink orders and perused the menu. We had seen no indication on the door that the dining room was not open but no big deal.
The big deal was that my food was cold. One of the managers/owners came by to ask us if all was well. Since they were new, we thought we'd let them know of the cold food. He said he'd send over Big Hoss. Big Hoss must have decided he needed to talk to his friends at another booth because he never spoke to us and no one made it right. He kept visiting and schmoozing with his friends but I guess we were unimportant. The waiter also thought she should be goofing around instead of providing service. I'll never go here again. It's not worth it.

Overall:

We tried this place twice. Both times we couldn't even get anyone to serve us. Guess we will never know if the food is good. WE will never go back
Review by lee
Overall:

Big Hoss was probably my best meal of the year. We had a group of six and ordered the family platter which consisted of pulled pork, sliced brisket, sausage, chicken, and ribs. They were all so good I couldn't even say which was best. Probably the best bbq I had, even including Texas, which says alot. The service was fun and friendly, the atmosphere cool, and a good game was on the tube. A must eat indeed!!!!!!
