    Pulled pork with a side of coleslaw and potato salad.
    Justin U.

    My life is consumed with a search for the perfect pulled pork sandwich. One where the pork is unbelievably tender, with flavor that doesn't need barbecue sauce and that has absolutely zero fat. Ninety eight percent of the sandwiches I've tried have disappointed me. I did find one in Illinois and thought there was only one in Colorado until I happened upon Hogback. After lunching there more than once I can promise you their pulled pork (and other barbecued meats) will blow your mind and excite your taste buds like few others. It easily passes my scrutiny.

    Philly Cheesesteak!!!!!!!! Awesome!

    Wow. The best bbq and friendliest service in town. Located off Platte Canyon Rd. A little harder to find but great food. And they have onion rings!!!! Great bbq!!!

    Habanero Thai chili, jalapeño, gold, and spicy barbecue

    Really really good food, decent service. Busy for the area so that has to tell you something. Great sauces but you have to ask for extra because they don't keep them at the table in bottles. The service was a little on the slow side but super friendly.

    4.5/5. 2nd time for lunch. Pretty busy keeping the waitresses busy but they were doing fine. Ribs were really good, hot link really good, wings with Aisan glaze were good, beans were good, brisket was good but not as good the last time. I like their 3 homemade sauces.

    Pretty good place for beer and some wings. The wings had a nice smoke flavor and I chose the Thai sweet sauce. Limited beer on tap selection. Could have used a bit more crispness on the flash fried wings since I ordered them crispy. Will be back to try a few other things.

    I really love the Hogback Barbecue. It's tucked into a small older strip center on Depew. I always access it via Chatfield and Wadsworth just past the traffic circle at 470. They have a small bar, a patio and an indoor dining room. They have always been super friendly to me whether I'm dining in or doing takeout. Parking is in the lot of the strip shopping center, but there might be a little street parking also. They don't have fancy packaging, just foil and clamshell containers, but the food is awesome! You can tell they smoke it a long time and slowly. Sides are delicious too! We did takeout today with a rack of ribs and half chicken so we could have leftovers! We also ordered settlers beans and some green chili to also have for leftovers!! I like everything I've had here, brisket, pork, ribs and chicken. They have a variety of sauces that you can use there or take in your carry out. Every time I come early in the day, I get their iced tea which is always fresh and delicious! I wouldn't classify it as a dive; and it's not fancy. It's just a nice fast casual no frills place to grab lunch or dinner. It's been 20 minutes since I ate my food; and I'm wondering when I can dig into the leftovers, haha!

    Pickles -- cornmeal breading and not thick. So depends on what you like! Not at all greasy. Firm dill pickles. Cornbread - delicious and very cake like. Moist Ribs -- great meat. Meaty ribs. Delicious flavor. Fall off the bone in the good way. Sauces -- very good. Pulled pork -- soo good. Didn't have a bunch of fat in it. Great flavor. Moist.

What impressed me even more was the service. I didn't catch our server's name, but she was constantly on the move, making sure every customer was taken care of and happy. Her hard work and attention to everyone in the restaurant did not go unnoticed. Great food and outstanding service--I'll definitely be back!

A quick google search for "dog friendly patios" led us here - and boy howdy I am sooooo glad it did! I love good smoked meats and Rusty Tapp hit the nail square on the head. Everything we had was fantastic, including the service. When the server asked if we wanted pup cups for the dogs, of course we said yes, but were so surprised to see that the dogs got to enjoy a little cup of plain smoked brisket. They each gave the pup cups 5 stars. We have a friend who is celiac, so we frequently as about gluten free options anywhere we go. Our server gave a very detailed and precise answer about the menu, what was available, and mentioned the shared fryer which was so appreciated and makes it easier for our friend to feel more comfortable trying a new place. The patio is couple of tables out front, but the traffic wasn't busy, it's not loud, and we had a nice night out. We've added this spot to our list of places to return to!

Was lucky enough to…read morestumble on this while walking around near a friend's apartment in Englewood, Denver has all these cool little pockets where it's very suburban and then all of a sudden you'll have a small corner with a few shops and restaurants and giving it a lovely walkable vibe. I could tell this place was going to be good because it was packed out at 11:30 AM on a Saturday. We decided to stop by and most people were ordering very large orders for takeout, but they have a good number of tables both inside and outside. The food takes a while to come, but that just means that it is all freshly prepared, and the staff are so nice and even give free samples. I went with the Kids meal brisket with the Potato salad and added a Sweet potato with the candied pecan butter. I seriously have no words -- all of these things were so delicious, and the amount of meat that you get even with the kids meal is more than enough to fill me up, especially with the rich sweet potato and potato salad on the side. I will be back as soon as I can, their hours are limited, and the drive is a little out of the central Denver area, but it is so worth it

That was missing here, the first indication that all would not go well. I soldiered on anyway, and ordered the 2 meat plate, pulled pork and brisket, with an extra rib bone and collard greens and beans for sides. The brisket and pork were both dry and had no smoke flavor. The rib was so small (an end piece) that they gave me 2; they were both overcooked and had very little meat on them. The sides were the only good part of this meal, but sides do not great barbecue make, hence the 2 stars. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The pitmaster visited our table and took our criticism with good grace, even offering to replace our food to see if they could do better, but I was done. I won't be returning.

That's what you expect when you're paying barbecue prices. Sadly, none of that showed up here. The brisket and burnt ends were the biggest disappointment. Instead of having that dark bark and beautiful smoke ring you expect from meat that's been smoked low and slow, everything looked gray and lifeless. There was no smoke flavor, no seasoning, and worst of all, the meat was dry. Not slightly dry, but the kind where you need sauce just to get it down. Burnt ends are usually the highlight of a barbecue meal, crispy outside with juicy, tender meat inside. These were just dry chunks with no caramelization or flavor payoff. The sausage didn't help things either. Overall, nothing about the meal felt homemade or smoked. It felt mass produced and rushed, missing the flavor and texture that make barbecue special in the first place. What made the experience even worse is the price. Spending around $40 on a pound of meat, expecting quality barbecue, and getting dry, bland food instead. For that price, you expect memorable barbecue, not something you regret ordering halfway through the meal. The food was so disappointing that I ended up throwing most of it away and going somewhere else afterward just to get a decent meal. That's something I almost never do, especially after paying premium prices.
