    I do wish roaming buffalo were a little closer to me, as I am always impressed with their perfectly done meats. I went with the three meat platter and tried out the bison ribs. I'm sure it's pretty tough to make these as tender as they were, but I was very happy with the results. I also had the pulled pork which was juicy and delicious and the brisket, which is always great. What may have impressed me the most was the grits. I also highly recommend going there on a weekend to get their three dollar Sammie. Don't think you'll beat that price anywhere for a solid amount of meat.

    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

    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.

    Absolutely not good at all. My ribs were so tough. Couldn't eat them at all spent $50+ and my partner and I just couldn't enjoy it at all.

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

    Came out of the Pavilions and was craving some ice cream with my daughter. Not just ice cream but…read morelike in-your-face ice cream. It was like my prayers were answered when I saw The Yard. It was around 2pm, not so busy inside, and the servers were really nice helping us what the difference in flavors, what their specialties were and offered samples to help us decide. WHAT WE SWALLOWED: *PECAN PRALINE MINI SUNDAE: I just love me some candied nuts and pecan praline has always been a favorite of mine since I was a child. The girl behind the counter was smart in giving me this sample ans I scooped it right up. Creamy ice cream and delicious pecan pralines. This was so good. *COOKIE MONSTER MINI SUNDAE: One of my daughters got this and I have to admit, the cookie monster ice cream in itself was so good. The lady behind the counter said it was one of their specialties. It's blue (duh) and it has either brownie or chocolate chunks. It was really good but I didn't want to be walking around with a blue mouth (yes, it made my daughter's mouth blue!) lol *THE MERMAID MINI SUNDAE: My other daughter got this as she loves mermaids. It was very cute and the ice cream inside it was delicious but she did say the mermaid tail tasted like wax (it was chocolate) and she didn't even finish it (which is saying a lot). Be prepared for lots of ice cream and the price tag that comes with it. Worth of stop if you're in the area, happy we had our sundae fix satiated but not sure if I would drive all the way down here just for this.

    Do yourself a favor and go to a different ice cream place. Tuesday 7/28 930PM the lady there was so…read morerude. Yelled at everyone she is trying to close and the wait ( 5 people in line) will take that long. Then proceeded to tell us all that she can't do (named off 8 things off the menu) everyone just walked out. Clearly she didn't want to be there nor us to be there... we are visiting out of state and was excited to try a new place . Just not this place apparently.
