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 […]
One look behind the country-style shack that houses Piggin’ Out Bar-B-Que in almost-rural Lakewood will let you know that the owners understand what smoking meat means. There you’ll find a big steel smoker on a trailer that’s stained in streaked shades of bronze from smoke and fat. A recent expansion gives loyal customers a place […]

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, […]
Colorado’s ’cue aficionados were devastated when, in December 2021, Wayne’s Smoke Shack in Superior was a victim of devastating winter wildfires. While the building that housed it remained standing, Wayne’s suffered severe smoke damage, and nearly all of the restaurant’s equipment had to be thrown out.

The menu features traditional chicken wings, mini bone-in pork shank “wings” and fourteen wing sauces, most of which are housemade, and include everything from a sweet ginger Thai to a mango habanero. And all the wings — pig and chicken […]
Tin Star Smokehouse started smoking outside a Golden storefront in March 2013. The match was lit by Paul Schutt, a thirty-year industry veteran who decided it was time for a spot of his own. But that’s a relative concept: His brother, Andrew Schutt, had founded Tin Star Cafe & Donut Haus in Evergreen years earlier, […]
Hong Kong is famous for its siu mei, a blanket term that covers many roasted meats.

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. […]
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 […]
When Jabo Lawson found a permanent address for his once-mobile barbecue operation, he did a quick makeover, cramming overstuffed booths into the former home of a Heavenly Hams.
