    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.

    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.

    Over 8 years of going here, it is still pretty darn awesome. Folks are the best! So friendly and great to see. Casual happy environment is always a nice time. Food is super delish! Still haven't tried their burnt ends. But their bison ribs are my favorite. Tender, moist, flavorful. Hope we go this weekend!

    A little hole in the wall BBQ with some amazing flavor in their brisket. I ordered the brisket as well as Mac & Cheese to eat there. Service was quick once the order was placed. They came around to ask how it was and if everything was good. The amount of brisket was more than enough for another meal. My only complaint: they put spicy chopped up Cheetos or Takis on the Mac and cheese- that is not my flavor. Once I scooped that out the rest was good. I used the sweet bbq and enjoyed the flavor.

    Everything is homemade. Delicious food and friendly staff. Sorry I didn't get a pic of banana pudding but we split it three ways and it was awesome!

    Roaming buffalo barbecue is by far the best barbecue in all of Denver! Not only is their food delicious, but their staff is extremely kind and helpful, we stopped in today and John, Adam and Gilbert were all there smiling and happy to help us! Had to take some of the world's best Mac n cheese for the road! A must try!!

    We're huge BBQ fans, so when I looked up Yelp spots around our area and Roaming Buffalo BBQ was a result, I had to take a look! They have two locations, and this one is definitely smaller in comparison to photos from the one in Golden. - PARKING - Due to the smaller location, there also isn't a dedicated parking lot. Look for street parking along adjacent streets! - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - Service was okay - I've just definitely had more enthusiastic people at BBQ joints! Food came out fairly quickly though! There's a few small tables that could fit 4 people, although you might push it if you all had your own trays crowding the table. - FOOD - Pork Belly Burnt Ends: MUST TRY! Worth making the effort to come specifically on Friday's to get this Day Special! Perfectly balance between the fat and the meat of the Pork Belly. Makes me sad we weren't able to come a day earlier and get their Brisket Burnt Ends! Would recommend! Pork Spare Ribs (Single Bone - $2.50): I'm astonished as I write this review and realizing what a big steal this was! We're so used to smaller bones, almost half the size of what we got here! The meat was so tender as well! We could've split a single bone and been good to go! Would recommend! Colorado Bison Back Ribs (Single Bone - $3.25): I've had Bison Ribs before and each time I thought they just were too much on the dry side for me. I still decided to give it a try here... but the result was the same. The meat just isn't as juicy as other options. Pulled Colorado Lamb ($24/lb): We weren't originally planning on getting any Lamb, but we decided last minute. Definitely did not need to as we were quite full at the end and couldn't finish this. However, similar to the Bison Ribs, this was just a bit too dry for our liking. Others might still enjoy it, but it wasn't great for us. Angus Beef Brisket ($24/lb): They graciously ask if you want fatty or lean - we opted for fatty of course! Really delicious and tender pieces of Brisket! I will say that their salt crust is definitely saltier than most spots I've been to. Wish I had some bread on the side to balance it out. Turkey Breast ($16/lb): Ever since we encountered delicious Turkey at another BBQ joint, we've given Turkey a chance at every new spot we've been to! Roaming Buffalo's is pretty good! Although not the juiciest we've had, it definitely wasn't dry either! Bison Green Chile & Cheddar Sausage ($4.00/ea): Such a great mix of flavors!!! The casing has that snappy bite every great Sausage should have. The Green Chile and Cheddar Combo is delicious!!! Would recommend! Smoked Poblano Mac & Cheese (Individual - $2.25): The perfect amount of cheesiness and spice! This definitely helped us have a break from all the meat/saltiness! Pretty good portion for what you pay for! Housemade Chips [Green Chile & White Cheddar] ($2.25): There was a great crunch to these Chips, and even a day later they were still crunchy! I didn't really taste Green Chile or White Cheddar though. Bourbon Caramel Popcorn Puffs (Large - $2.50): Perfect sweet ending, especially since we were way too stuffed to get one of their regular dessert items! The Popcorn has an airy texture, and there's Peanuts also covered in the same Caramel flavor! - OVERALL - Would come back for the Burnt End Specials, Pork Spare Ribs, Bison Green Chile & Cheddar Sausage. Would also love to try their dessert items!

    Half the slab of almost pure fat included in the 1/2 lb of brisket
    Mateo E.

    Roaming Buffalo managed to stay on my bucket list for years until today. Why? I heard great things, especially about the brisket. It sounded heavenly. However, it's open only three hours a day and far enough away to make it weekends only for me. Sporadic Saturday calls always told me they were out of brisket, even as early as noon. I got lucky today & made a mad dash across town to grab some before it could get cold back at home. In short: Brisket was magic. Service lacking, close quarters Faustian B'Cue RB's brisket stands among the best I've had in CO. Turkey and bison ribs also proved well above average. Sauces were a cut above most. We had one labeled "H" and one labeled "S." They had one person (?!) working a busy Saturday lunch. My food took 40 minutes instead of the promised 15 min. She was too busy to smile. Social distancing: With a long line and a small store, there's not much room to wait six feet apart. I first sat at an empty table right behind where people stand to order, but got tired of butts in my face and moved to a spot at the bar when I could. Value: At $24/lb, brisket should not include a 2-3oz slice of pure fat. Today, I scratched Roaming Buffalo off my bucket list. How does it feel? Maybe they were having a bad day. Maybe I was, too? Three stars.

    Top notch BBQ, among the best. Try the Ribs, Brisket or sausage, I'm sure you'll agree!

I've had it before and enjoyed it, but the last couple times the food has been cold despite being ready within 7 minutes. Today, I was at Chop Shop the minute my order was ready, as I got a notification on my phone. I got the chicken with polenta and my husband had the chicken tenders. We got freezer burnt chicken that was wet and soggy, breading falling off, and impossible to chew like cardboard. Not to mention the polenta and Mac and cheese were cold. I understand not every experience can be perfect, however to pay a tip, restaurant service fee (that apparently doesn't go to staff because it's a separate charge), and have to pay for utensils at a quick serve restaurant just to receive small portions, cold food, and past quality ingredients is not acceptable.

Today, I went with Modern Market as I was in the new where this location of MM is located. "Open" sign wasn't lit so I wasn't sure if it was open. There was no way it was closed however. As I approached it I saw lights lit inside. I used to live in this part of town so walking to this little shopping center was my daily routine. Back then I fondly remembered this location of MM where my daughter and I frequented. They must have renovated or rearranged things inside since as it looked quite different. As I recall it was always so clean in the dining room. That was the case today when I stopped by. Two male workers were upfront. They both welcomed me. It was a slow time of the day. They didn't appear to have a lot of online orders either. Hence, I was immediately assisted by one of them. He was very pleasant and polite to me. Once he had taken my order the other male worker's quickly prepared my food which only took 1 minute. LOL! It's so nice to not have to wait (good thing because I was hungry!) I got me the Lemongrass Tuna with Cauliflower Rice substitution (their regular rice is already mixed with quinoa; I am allergic to quinoa so that's a no go for me unfortunately so I didn't forget to ask for the substitution this time!) I wish they were a bit more generous about the Cauliflower Rice portion as there was barely there at the bottom of the bowl underneath the tuna. Other than that, it tasted good. Nothing tasted old or was brown to indicate that the ingredients weren't fresh enough. The two sauces that accompanied the bowl were nice enhancers for all the ingredients inside. Not a bad experience where it made my tummy smile with a nice grin!
