Some of the worst bbq ever. Got the burnt ends and wings. The burnt ends were inedible -terrible! And the wings were decent I expected so much more but would never go back. Sides were decent and did not even bother to try the cornbread. My husband and I were super underwhelmed with the dryness of the meat and sauces table side were average.

I cannot say enough GOOD about Roaming Buffalo BBQ in terms of food but also hospitality! We had them cater a work lunch event where they brought various cuts of meat (burnt ends, brisket, pulled pork, and turkey) as well as sides (coleslaw, beans, and mac and cheese)! I cannot even pick a favorite because they were all FANTASTIC!! Simply an explosion of flavor with every bite. I would recommend this to any person that wants good food and even better vibrations!

I’ve never had a brisket Rueben before…It was amazing. Some of the best BBQ I’ve ever had and I’m from the Midwest so that says quite a bit as far as I’m concerned (we do it better than Texas after all ). The cilantro lime coleslaw was the best I’ve ever had in my life. Tart, creamy and hearty. Definitely recommend this place.

Has the most unique tasting food I’ve had in a long time! Most good BBQ places have average sides, but that’s not the case here. I highly recommend the mac n cheese with whatever your choice of meats is. This place is Coloradolicious !!

Small restaurant with friendly staff and big portions. I got the pork ribs and sliced lean brisket with a smoked sweet potato and cornbread. I will definitely be coming back and getting the brisket again because it stole the show for me. It just gave me that backyard barbecue feeling. It felt nostalgic – like being back home, eating my dad’s brisket. They say nostalgia is love attempting to reach backward and I sure felt the love here in the food they made.

I had heard good things about this place, even a recommendation from a national publication. This is why I chose to dine here.
Unfortunately, this food is not up to par with other Denver BBQ joints and is not in the same universe as other legitimate places in TX, KC…etc.
We got the brisket, turkey, pork ribs, bison back ribs, jalapeño cheddar bison sausage, and sides.
1. Brisket was luke warm – either A. They are not holding at 140 F or B. this was reheated.
2. This bison ribs were dry nubs, inedible – absolutely should not be served to a customer if you desire repeat business.
3. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was good – but had an off after taste – that might just be gaminess and my personal aversion.
4. Pork ribs were good – Although, would prefer the bark to be set slightly better.
5. Too much acid/vinegar flavors – this was present in the jalapeño corn muffin and the $3 Sammie. Need to balance flavors – unless this is a stylistic choice. Not for me – and I like Carolina-style vinegar based sauces.
6. Understand they are not using an offset, and are using a lighter flavored pellet. I could tell. Not for me, personally, as I am accustomed to a Central TX style. If this is the style they are going with, I guess we can call it CO style, then I understand why CO style BBQ is not recognized or sought after.
7. Prices are good for BBQ (especially with current meat prices) but you get what you pay for.
Overall, they are very friendly, but this is not good BBQ. There are some decent items – pork ribs and turkey – but the lack of smoke flavor means you are basically eating a roasted turkey which you can do at home with an oven.
My recommendations are to balance out flavors, hit things with more smoke, and take pride in your work (I.e., do not serve customers anything that does not meet standards). Sounds like this place used to be better and more consistent. Hope they can get back to that.

Back in Denver, I was excited to eat here again since it was a standout spot during my last visit. Unfortunately, this time around was a letdown. Not sure if the place has gone downhill or if I just got stuck with bad cuts, but the food was pretty disappointing.
The brisket, which should be the star of the show, was dry, tough, and just poor quality overall—definitely not how I remembered it. On the bright side, the beans, pork belly burnt ends, and cornbread were all solid. But when you’re coming for BBQ, brisket is the main event, and it just didn’t deliver.
Service was okay, nothing great, nothing terrible. All in all, it was an underwhelming experience, and I won’t be coming back next time I’m in town.

Incredible service and fantastic barbecue. The guys at the counter are welcoming and offer great suggestions. The brisket was fall-apart tender and the sausage was delicious. The ribs were a little tough, but I’d still highly recommend this place and will be back to try them again. A must-visit if you’re in the area!

This is better than I remember. Bring your appetite, the portions are big! I personally loved The Real McCoy, the jalapenos added the right amount of spice. A must try for BBQ lovers!

Best BBQ in Colorado. Lived here 20+ years, then moved to South Texas and this place is still better than 99% of BBQ joints down there too. The mac n cheese is the best I’ve had at any restaurant
