We were nearby on a Thursday late afternoon and were looking for a BBQ place to go to. Ragin Hog popped up. From the outside you would not expect a killer bbq place as this is in a small strip mall with little signage. There was no one in front of us and the lady took our order (she was very friendly). I had the burnt ends, sausage, and Brunswick Stew. My wife had brisket. The meat was very good and the bbq sauces were also very tasty. This is a great BBQ option outside downtown Denver. I would visit again in a minute. read more

I've driven by this spot for years and yesterday was the day I finally made it in. I love the hole-in-the-wall vibes! To my discredit, I was extremely indecisive on what to order. However, the lovely couple behind the counter were friendly and let me take my time. Though I didn't order it, they had a $10 lunch special that consisted of a pork sandwich, side, and fountain drink. Pretty good deal! After toggling back and forth, I settled on a half rack of ribs. I really love ribs and never make them at home, so when I see it on a BBQ menu it always catches my eye. As far as the portion size is concerned, you will not go home hungry here! Caveman ribs with plenty of meat on the bone. Unfortunately I really didn't love the flavor of the ribs. The two sauces I picked out (Memphis and hot) also weren't doing it for me. There was some smoke and bark, and though they were meaty, it really fell flat. It was underseasoned and the sauces didn't liven it up like I was hoping. Sad to say, the mac and cheese I got for my side was also supbar. It felt like eating macaroni without the cheese. Watery, thin, and not much flavor. I hate that I didn't love the food, because the two people behind the counter were so nice. It was pretty slow inside for a Friday. For my money, there are better BBQ options in town. I love hole-in-the-wall, mom and pop joints, this one just didn't deliver flavor wise for me. read more

Always down to try another bbq spot, even when it's clear on the other side of town! I tried them with a Too Good To Go order where you order ahead and get a mystery box for a set price. Ragin' Hog is a commodity on that site so when I saw they have availability, I snagged it right away! I got enough food for a couple meals including ribs, brisket, Cole slaw and a pork sandwich. I didn't love the ribs, they had some kind of curry rub that left a lot to be desired but everything else was fantastic. Added bonus for having a variety of bbq sauces on hand too. Really dug this spot and will be back again, either on Too Good To Go or on my own! read more

I was torn between 3-4 stars but the sides and dessert were good enough to make up for a somewhat sad and dry brisket. Ragin Hog is a solid neighborhood choice. The 2 meat special with two sides and dessert for $25 is good value. The ribs and mac&cheese were good, and the collard greens were great. The brisket was not up to par. Great friendly service and homie atmosphere. read more

Ragin' Hog BBQ - 2 Meat Combo (brisket, ribs) collard greens, Mac & cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Placed an order on TooGoodToGo for a sandwich surprise bag. Smells amazing when you walk in the restaurant. Love the chalkboard menu on the wall. What I got was flavorful and filling! I got a pulled pork sandwich that came with chicken noodle soup, mac n cheese and a slice of cornbread. The meat was moist and had nice flavor to it. I used the Georgia bbq sauce which is super tangy and mustardy- loved it! Cornbread was a hair dry but still good. Will try Ragin' Hog again. read more

This is my go to place in north Denver when I don't t want to smoke my own barbecue. Closest to good homemade smoked meats as I have found If you want to try this bbq the sooner you get there better because once they run out of food they close for the day I was so happy to find this place before covid and so happy that they survived and seem to be thriving. They make you feel like family and don't put up with any funny business, what I mean is if you think you are going to watch a movie or play a video game on speakerphone, you got another thing coming. They value their customers and want all of their guest to respect each other. I love the brisket pulled pork and their home style coleslaw Come in to try some of their special house made desserts as well. read more

Picked up a sandwich combo meal with green beans, mac and cheese and cole slaw with cornbread! All were delicious, especially the cole slaw. Wide variety of sauces to choose from. Every time I come in, the woman working here is so nice. It's not an easy spot to find between a nail salon and a tax place. It's worth looking for, whether you want to eat in or take something to go. read more

Sign me up as yet another fan of this BBQ joint. This place was noticably small, so clearly it was meant for a goblin such as myself to enjoy it. The place does look pricey, but once you get your food, you will notice this stuff is all well worth the price. You get quite the plate when it comes rolling out. Every order has sides and a dessert (or an additional side if you're shameless), so you get yourself stocked full pretty well. I do recommend the custard pie, it's sinfully delicious. Even with the small room to sit (they literally have like 5 tables in the joint), the service is still quick and quite friendly. The meats are smoky and delicious, too. The pork was so soft, with crispy bits. They do rely on you to sauce your own meats, and they make their own selection, too. So get saucy. read more

I really enjoy coming here. Yep it's small. Yep it's popular. And this means that if you come later, they have often sold out of many things. However, when I wanted a single rib or two to go with my food, they have often managed to find one in the back for me. The sauces are excellent. The people working here are great. Honestly, I have no complaints about the quality of the food here, and the sides are quite good as well. read more

Probably my favorite part of my work trip to Denver. The lady behind the counter was extremely nice and courteous and gave us recommendations when we couldn't decide. I ended up with the pulled pork sandwich with potato salad. They use sour cream in the potato salad so it's a bit different from what I'm used to on the east coast. The pulled pork was amazing. Juicy and delicious. I still think about this pulled pork sandwich now and it kills me I have to go back to Denver to get it. read more

Ragin' Hog BBQ - Pulled pork sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Was in town visiting Denver and I was craving bbq. Saw this place and decided to give it a shot. It's a small place and all the staff are friendly. They great value combos that includes meat, 2 sides, drink and a dessert. I got the 2 meat combo with brisket and pulled pork. The brisket had a nice flavor, it's cooked well would have liked it a little more moist. The pulled pork was very good, cooked well and moist. They have a nice variety of sauces. I got the buttermilk which was alright. The cornbread was very good. The Mac and cheese was not my favorite style. I would definitely recommend this place because it offers good value, good portions and good food. read more

You know that the food is going to be excellent when you find a BBQ joint next to a nail salon, in a grocery store parking lot. The smell of delicious meats hits you walking up too. Unfortunately, by the time you read this the burnt ends are probably sold out. Some of the best pulled pork and brisket was had, along with all the homemade side dishes. Definitely try the coleslaw and homemade pie! Homemade sauces from Carolina-style to Memphis-style. You can't go wrong with any selection at this family run BBQ stop! read more

Come hungry! This is the 1/2 rack combo ! Everything was excellent and the service was great! Highly recommended!!! read more

Ragin' Hog BBQ - 1/2 rib combo very good bbq! Highly recommended!!!! - Barbeque Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Fantastic bbq! Ordered the brisket combo with two sides (Mac & cheese and Cole slaw) to go. Everything was packed very nicely and super tasty and fresh. The bun that came with it was also fresh and soft and great for making a sandwich. Tried two of their homemade bbq sauces... very tasty! Service was very pleasant and the restaurant looked clean. Several dine in tables to eat at if you want. Cool galaxy overhead lights. read more

thank you so much for feeding all the Wayne Hills football kids! My son raved about how amazing the food was!

OMG!!! Came in after the lunch hour at 1:17 and had a long chat with Stacy (owner's spouse)... He talked about how they've been here 10+ years, and his pork & chicken are smoked with Hickory & fruit wood (the ratio is secret)... Beginning on the pork with a dry rub with basted secret sauces... The chicken is cooked smoky without a sauce which is added later. We added the custard pie to our 3 meat combo deal : pork ribs, burnt ends & chicken. All delicious with our sampling of several sauces... It was so good that I added a few more pork ribs as we were leaving. Incredibly friendly conversation with the owners. Great corn bread & collared greens. I just have so much more up add but it's just the BEST & Most Friendly BBQ visit I've had in memory. So why only 5 stars? If I could have given a thousand stars, that would not have been enough! What a fabulously memorable experience!!! read more

Fabulous barbecue and sides They deserve their reputation got carry out for Super Bowl enjoyed by all!

Absolutely excellent BBQ spot. They do everything well, even the brisket which is tough to get right. I like the variety of sauces too which allow one to choose the "style". Owner operated and always incredibly delicious. I smoke meats at home and appreciate their process. Nice smoke ring, good balance of smoke and moist meats. read more

The service was above and beyond excellent and the food was amazing! Highly recommend Ragin Hog for any of your BBQ needs! read more

Was greeted with the warmest welcome I haven't received in a long time. The lady working there was SO friendly I felt like I was visiting a family friend. So we got some bbq to go. The meats were a hit or miss: Brisket: Miss. Very very dry and I had to give the rest to my boyfriend who drenched the meat in sauce. Burnt ends: BIG HIT. My boyfriend ordered this one and it was SO delicious I wish I ordered that for myself. It was so good I didn't even need to dip it in any sauce at all. It was perfect the way it was. Sausage link: Hit! I was skeptical because the pictures made it look like regular ol rubbery tasteless sausages you can get at the supermarket but luckily the seasoning they put made it a hundred times better. Texture was not rubbery at all. Pork: Miss. Not as deathly dry as the brisket but still pretty dry. I'll tell you one thing tho, the side dishes were possibly the best side dishes I've ever had in any bbq places I've ever been to. All was super perfect except for the potato salad. But that Mac and cheese was out of this world! read more

I had high expectations going here and was a little disappointed but I wonder if that was due to going at off peak hours. We came around 2pm and they were sold out of burnt ends which is what I was most looking forward to. Their brisket was good as was the pulled pork and sausage but nothing really stood out and it was a bit cold. They were served with buns that were a bit stale and not toasted. The mac n cheese was very liquidy and not cheesy enough for my liking. I did however fall in love with their buttermilk pie and for 3$ a slice you cannot go wrong. The staff were extremely friendly and quick. I may have to go back earlier in the day to give them a second try. read more

Great food, reasonable prices/combos and nice staff. Also the buttermilk pie was unreal!

The Memphis BBQ sauce is great! The meat was dry and flavorless, however. Certainly didn't taste like it was smoked for long.

Solid BBQ with a nice assortment of sauces and delicious desserts! I'm always looking for good BBQ and this was a decent little find. I'm a Pulled Pork kinda guy and enjoyed the Pulled Pork Sandwich. The flavor was there but tasted a little dry. The meat definitely needed a lot more sauce, but still had a nice smokey taste to it. The sauces were amazing though and definitely saved the whole meal! The Mac and cheese could of used a little more love but the Baked Beans we're fantastic and the Buttermilk Pie stole the show! I was pleasantly surprised how good this dessert was. I want to go back and give them another try and hope to bump their rating up! read more

Awesome service and great food. Ribs and brisket were better than I can do on my traeger at home.

Yep, give this place five stars all the way. What a great place to eat. I went here last Saturday and it was my birthday dinner. We arrived at 5, the place closes at 6 and they were almost out of meat, so they shut down and we had the whole place to ourself. It was so great. The husband and wife (wish I remember their names) were so wonderful to us. We ate so much food and took plenty of it home. The brisket was great, but my favorite of everything was the green chili. Wow! The only thing I wasn't totally in love with was the cornbread, but it was adequate. I would HIGHLY recommend Ragin' Hog BBQ to anyone looking for really good barbeque in Denver. read more

The owners are soooo nice and the sauces are good! I'll try the hot link next time because the burnt ends were good but not great...

I selected Ragin' Hog to cater our daughter's Rehearsal Dinner for 25 people. Short and sweet, it was fabulous! We had mac and cheese, coleslaw, potato salad, corn bread, pulled pork, brisket and ribs - need I say more? Ok, I will! The brisket was the best I've ever eaten, the pulled pork was excellent, and the ribs were meat falling off the bone delicious. The side dishes complemented the meat perfectly. I have to mention the coleslaw, it has an unexpected but delicious kick and the creamy potato salad - WOWZA. All the sauces, etc. were included! I highly recommend Ragin' Hog for tonight's dinner as well as any upcoming event! read more

I usually frequent Ginger Pig, Asian fusion across the street, but on one of my recent visits there, I spied Ragin' Hog, which I had heard rumors regarding their Memphis style que. Finally made it in at lunch. Place was quiet by 1 pm, but it was after feasting for Super Bowl. I had the beef brisket which was very good, but not quite Texas quality, more like TN brisket. The chopped pork was very good. Some smoke and minimal bark in my serving which was a generous portion. The Brunswick stew was excellent, hot and spicy. I would recommend and return again, but AJ's is still my number one go to in Denver for beef que and beef ribs. read more

This was just ok. Fair price. Brisket was on a dryer end. But tender. Plenty of parking and good hours read more

Ragin' Hog BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Denver, Colorado

A friend turned me on to this place and I was hungry for some yummy Q... So I ordered a rack of ribs, burnt ends, Brunswick Stew, baked beans, cole slaw, and mac n cheese... plus a full complement of their BBQ sauces. I have to say this was the BEST comfort food I have ever had here in Colorado. The ribs - besides being an enormously generous portion, was smokey, fall of the bone tender, succulent, smack my lips Yumminess!!! The burnt ends - another generous portion, smokey, full of flavor, tender and juicy... Both meats were complemented by the various regional flavorful sauces... but to be honest neither needed the extra flavoring and were scrumptious just NAKED. The sides were all very tasty on their own... the mac n cheese was creamy and put my Mom's to shame - the coleslaw was sweet and savory, crunchy and fresh... the beans just perfect... but the Brunswick stew - wowee... that my friend is a meal in its self - packed full of everything and spiced just right... a true palette delight Now my friends have enjoyed the ambiance of the quaint restaurant. I would love to see where all the magic happens... because these folks are truly the stuff of legend. Can't wait to try it again!! read more
