New owners have brought a new menu along with a new cleanliness regimen to the former dark, divey Hoffbrau, now renamed 1301 Santa Fe Bar & Grill. The rooftop smoking deck and wooden floor of the dining room got a good scrubbing, and the kitchen and interior underwent several much-needed repairs. The result is a […]

AJ’s started out as an unusual venture: a weekend-only smokehouse serving meats slow-roasted in a smoker bolted onto the back of an old farm truck. Since then, it’s expanded its hours and seating options, serving Wagyu beef pastrami along with traditional barbecue favorites like brisket, pulled pork, spare ribs, sausage and turkey.
Color photos of menu items clutter the front window of this little shoebox Hawaiian joint in suburban Thornton, offering the promise of a filling, comforting and inexpensive meal inside — a Spam musubi here will set you back less than the price of a cup of coffee elsewhere. Aloha’s interior leans strongly toward the Spartan, […]
Diners call the shots at BD’s Mongolian Barbeque, a bustling, decade-old LoDo spot that puts a modern spin on the traditional Mongolian feast. Build a stir-fry bowl from an assembly-line-style selection of meats, vegetables, starches and sauces, which are grilled on the spot by knife-wielding chefs. The possible combinations are infinite, from seafood-centric to meaty, […]
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, […]

There’s no grizzled old papa at Big Papa’s standing watch over a hickory fire in the parking lot, but rather one giant Southern Pride smoker in the back. This little storefront outfit works fast — and with barbecue, speed is made possible only by the intelligent application of technology and mass-production methods. The ribs, the […]

Colorado is the brewpub capital of the world, and Breckenridge Brewery was one of the early pioneers that helped the state claim that crown. The main attraction at the Ballpark location is the brewery’s extensive selection of handcrafted beers, which can best be sampled during daily happy hour, but there’s also a good selection of […]
Ron Brooks and his wife, Louella, run a Louisiana barbecue restaurant out of their home in suburban Aurora from Friday through Sunday, where they serve up twelve-hour smoked meats, some of the best sides in town – like a kicked-up creamed corn called maque choux – and a sampling of Cajun specialties, from gumbo to […]
A born-and-bred Colorado chain founded by the British O’Sullivan brothers in 1998, Brothers offers everything a traditional barbecue joint must: ribs, brisket, pulled pork, chicken and hot links, to be slathered with any of the array of homemade sauces. You can order those meats on sandwiches or in plate specials, family packs or even by […]

Cabin Creek is the first stable, solid location for owners John and Christi Patrick, barbecue veterans who got their start in catering. While Cabin Creek still does a tremendous amount of catering (including whole pigs for luaus), a lot of cars screech to a halt here for a fast hit of barbecue. The meats are […]
For more than twenty years, this very casual, sports-oriented spot has been cooking up credible BBQ, right down to the sweet, hickory-smokey Oklahoma-style sauce. While you’re munching, watch the big game on one of the many TVs; in the summer, hit the huge deck to ogle the babes playing volleyball.
Country Time BBQ owners Lawrence and Jennifer Barkers, onetime partners in life but now divorced and just business partners, remain true to one style of barbecue: their own. And it’s so good that friends begged them for years to start a ‘cue restaurant. Finally, the two relented and opened up a BBQ joint in Sheridan. […]

Dave Anderson already had a distinguished resume before he decided to get into the barbecue business. That was back in 1994, when he opened his first Famous Dave’s in Wisconsin, a joint that was casual, comfortable and so down-home that the barbecue was served on a garbage-can lid, in homage to Anderson’s personal cooking technique.
