This place has amazing meats, sides and sauces... not to mention a super nice staff! I have been coming here for almost two decades and will continue to do so!! I love getting both the warm & frozen trays of meat! Pulled pork & brisket are my families favs. read more

I wish yelp would let you give zero stars. Stay far away from this business. If you're thinking about using them, do yourself a huge favor and go elsewhere. The owner, Dustin, is incredibly rude and irresponsible. We rented a roaster from him that failed, leaving our fundraiser event without enough food. They don't answer their "Emergency" numbers that they give you as a safeguard. The roaster was a safety hazard and the gas leak could have caused a huge accident at an event with 200 people in attendance. Regardless of what you want to use Arapahoe Hog Roasters for, you need to know that if any issues come up, they will not take responsibility for them. I called them and wanted to have a calm discussion about the day's events to see if we could come to a conclusion that would make both sides happy. Dustin began yelling at me and told me to "go call my f'n lawyer if I wanted to do something about it." Shortly after this, he hung up on me. Now that's great service. Not to mention, this event that we were putting on was to benefit children and adults with mental and physical disabilities. This company couldn't care less about anything like this in their own community. People like this should not be allowed to run businesses where they deal with the public. There are other businesses that do what they do in this area, and save your event - go with them. Here's one I found that I'll be using next time. http://www.rmhr.com/ read more

This place is great if you're doing the pig and roaster, but if you are just ordering a half pig or beef, think again! If you are not one of their old time customers, they will give your meat away even though a $500 deposit will be held for months! There is no organization once they take your order and deposit money. For three years we went through them, the first year we got a half beef and pig, and it went okay, but took longer then they said. The next couple years, we had to keep calling them when the time frame passed for a half cow, they basically had given our meat away to others and we had to ask for our money back each time after they had it for 2 - 3 months....what a racket! They are making interest on other peoples money and don't care if they complete your order or not...win, win situation for them! We have moved on the Craig Angus Ranch! read more

We have used this company quiet a few times for our huge family gatherings. The roasted hog comes equipped with sunglasses (always a party favorite) and tastes amazing! We have had the beans, coleslaw, mac and cheese, potato salad, and lemon bars, all which are amazing! We thank the courteous and amazing staff, and will definitely use them again. Highly recommended! read more

Arapahoe Hog Roasters - Aloha! - Meat Shops Near Me - Lafayette, Colorado

See all

A client of mine recommended this place to purchase steaks. I had interactions with many of the staff members and all seemed pleasant and knowledgable. I asked for a cut they didn't have and they said they could always do custom. When I took my filets home and grilled them. They were the best cuts of meat I have had in a very long time! My friend and I usually chat all through dinner and both were quiet!!! I also bought a few burgers and some sausage and cheese. I can't wait to try that!!!! I will be a regular customer! The prices were also very reasonable. read more

I been trying to call them for two days now and nobody answering the phone. I dont even now if this company really do exist....

We have used Arapahoe Meat Co. for many years, at least 7+. However, it seems that ever since it's been taken over by the kids, the quality has slipped. We've given feedback and they said they would do better but this is the third year in a row where the elk brats we order are not properly sealed off at the ends...they are simply barely twisted so that when you defrost them, they are completely open ended or end up that way as soon as they are not frozen. Therefore, all the juices run out of the meat regardless of how careful you are to grill the brats, leaving them dry and tasteless. Every single packet of the brats last year were like this and, so far this year, we have had 3 packs since December 2012 like this....luckily the elk burger is simply ground up and put into sealed bags, so they are ok. They stopped using metal staples to keep the burger meat sealed so that was a benefit since before you couldn't simply pop the bag into the microwave for a quick defrost... Also, last year the elk pepperoni was so fatty that taking a bite was like eating a tube of lard. It was so bad that we ended up throwing out all the elk pepperoni we ordered, which ends up wasting the meat that we worked hard to hunt and bring in. This year, the meat tastes a little better but the casing is so tough on it that you can't eat it. You end up chewing on a wad of casing at the end of your bite, which ruins the eating enjoyment. Sad to say we will more than likely be taking our elk et al meat someplace else this year. The convenient location does not make it worth the money wasted on meat that gets "ruined." Burger meat is still ok so far, but that is usually only 1/3 of what we order...it's too bad, this used to be a terrific butcher... read more

We thought we would like to try an organic approach to buying grass-fed beef and bought a 1/4 side from a local rancher near Peyton and this is the place they use. Well, one of the first cuts we unwrapped had cow hair on it. Yes, you heard me right. What a horrible experience. Needless to say we've gone back to just buying from Costco and Whole Foods. read more

I recently ordered a pig but had to cancel it 2 days before we were to pick it up due to a broken water pipe in our kitchen. After explaining the situation, they refunded me the cost of the entire thing (minus the 3% ccard fee) and were so kind and understanding about my problem. When I have another party, I'll definitely call them again:) thank you so much read more

We ordered BBQ and three sides for 80 people. We were pleased with the quality and quantity of food. I was worried we wouldn't have enough but there was more than enough food. We gave away leftovers. I suggest they always leave business cards when they deliver the food. Many folks asked us about the caterer. It would have been nice to have business cards to pass out. read more

We bought a 91-lb. pig last weekend and also rented the roaster for a big party that we threw. The pig was excellent and I found the price to be reasonable. The person who helped me was very friendly and accommodating. I would use their service again if the need comes up. read more

What a great experience! I called and left a message over the weekend & had a return call from Amanda first thing (7am) Monday morning! Amanda was great and had great suggestions on what to order when I told her my budget - Down to the best sauces to go with my order & buns as well! It was ready as promised & Lisa and everyone were helpful & happy. The pulled pork was well seasoned & tasty and the beef brisket was even better. Our 30+ guests were over the moon about the quality of the product - Several of whom were self-proclaimed BBQ aficionados (including the birthday boy for whom the party was being thrown). The price & quality cannot be beat and I will definitely be back again. Thank you! Teddy was VERY surprised & VERY happy! read more

Arapahoe Hog Roasters catered a Halloween party at my friends space last night. Simply put, they cooked the most delicious pig I've ever tasted. They did a great job slow roasting the pig, and the presentation was nicely done. They also provided us with additional meat and a delicious selection of BBQ sauce. The 2 caterers were totally awesome, considering this was probably the weirdest Halloween event they've done (15 bands, art show upstairs, haunted house, live alligator, lots of kids who were probably too young to be out so late, etc). I'm sure they were in some serious culture shock, but they played along to the event very well. read more

Owners are rude and their product is not as good as others. They are very very expensive and they are not helpful if you have a problem which we did. Whatever you do don't use them read more

I just had a pig roast from Arapahoe and rented the equipment myself, the party was a huge success, and all of my guests not only LOVED the whole hog but can't wait to have a party of their own. All of the staff was very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. Thank you Arapahoe I highly recommend and will be back!!! read more

I went to a party years ago that had a roasted hog from Arapahoe Hog Roasters. It was delicious! It was from that party that I learned that Arapahoe Hog Roasters also processes wild game. For those of you who don't hunt, this may not mean much, but it's wonderful to be able to bring in a deer or elk for processing. The meat is returned nicely packaged and ready for the freezer. They make terrific jerky, sausage, and other products from the wild game, and it's all natural. I've used them for years now, and want them to always stay in business. So stop by and see them! You'll be happy you did. read more

Arapahoe Hog Roasters exceeded any expectation from start to finish. I live in Santa Monica, CA and was trying to secure catered food for a mountain home wedding outside of Golden, CO for my nephew's wedding. The arrangements were made last minute and we also secured one person to assist in carving and serving the roasted pig. From the first call to last, the folks at Arapahoe were professional and extremely helpful. Dustin, who I understand runs the business, followed up with phone calls and emails to answer follow-up questions. Lisa spent the most time helping with this order and I was very happy when she was assigned to be our carver/server at the wedding. Lisa was lovely, so personable, helpful and went out of her way for us. But here's the best part - THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT!! I do not eat meat, but most folks did and they raved and raved about the roasted pork. I heard over and over that it was the best roasted pig ever! The bride confided that she wished they could take some leftovers - not possible because left for honeymoon that evening. As a non-meat eater, I was able to enjoy the deilcious potatoe salad, coleslaw, roasted corn salad, green beans and the BBQ sauce. The baked beans had pork in them, but I also heard over and over that the beans were the best! Additionally, Lisa has a most beautiful demeanor and smile - was cheerful and professional through-out the event. The host and hostess of the wedding (the home was not my nephews), were initially concerned that a roasted pig meant grease and mess - NOT SO! They loved the food, service and Lisa so much, wondered where I found such an amazing resource, and plan to use this company in the future for events at their home. As the out-of-state aunt, it was wonderful to receive such high praise for the quality of food and service. I would recommend this company to anyone seeking to make their event special. A most well-deserved THANK YOU to Arapahoe Hog Roasters! read more
