1301 Santa Fe Tavern & Grill

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 01:38:30 -0600

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 Pit Bar-B-Q

Tue, 22 May 2018 21:56:55 -0600

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.

Aloha Hawaiian Barbecue

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 06:33:53 -0600

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, […]

BD’s Mongolian Barbeque

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 02:49:46 -0600

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, […]

Big Hoss Bar-B-Q

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 03:39:36 -0600

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, […]

Big Papa’s BBQ

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 04:31:04 -0600

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 […]

Breckenridge Brewery and BBQ

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 01:38:14 -0600

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 […]

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 05:12:29 -0600

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 […]
