Website

While many local barbecue joints specialize in Texas-style ’cue, Roaming Buffalo’s is based firmly in Colorado culinary history, with pulled lamb, huge bison ribs and venison sausage. It also serves more traditional meats such as pork ribs and brisket, which are available by the pound, heaped onto sandwiches or on plates, with sides such as smoked poblano cheddar mac and Southwest potato salad.
