Memorial Day weekend is upon us, which can only mean one thing… it is BBQ time! (Oh, and we get a 3-day weekend, which I guess is okay, too.) If you are ready to sink your teeth into some of the most tender and mouthwatering meats that the Mile High City has to offer, check out one of these 8 hole-in-the-wall BBQ joints that will make your taste buds go crazy:

1.) Bennett's BBQ (Centennial)
Yelp/Bennett’s Bar-B-Que - Centennial
Yelp/Denise R.
As if the sign itself wasn't appetizing enough (I'm a sucker for any place that will let my kids eat free... with the purchase of an adult entree, of course), Bennett's has been serving their mouthwatering Texas-style BBQ and "Texas-style values" to Denverites since 1985!
2.) Boney's BBQ (Denver Central Business District)
Yelp/Leslie M.
Yelp/Caroline K.
Let's just say there is a reason that Boney's is referred to as the #1 choice in the Mile High City for real pit-style barbecue... (P.S. Brisket + rib tips + beans + cole slaw = you will never want to eat anything else ever again.)
3.) Ragin' Hog BBQ (Denver Northwest)
Yelp/Gerard M.
Yelp/Christopher H.
Do you want to know the best way to spot some incredible BBQ? Find the most low-key and no-frills looking place around and get ready to enjoy some of the best meats and sides you have ever tasted!
4.) Aloha Hawaiian BBQ (Thornton)
Yelp/Anthony A.
Yelp/Dakota O.
You have demolished southern-style BBQ and have devoured every KC-inspired entree in the city... but have you said "Aloha" to Hawaiian BBQ? If you have yet to visit this Thornton gem, you have yet to REALLY consider yourself a BBQ aficionado.

Globe Hall
Yelp/aubrey c.
Welcome to Globe Hall, where patrons come for potent drinks and live music, and stay for the -- surprise! -- finger-licking delicious Texas Style Oak-Smoked BBQ!
6.) Kitchen Table: BBQ & Comfort Food (Denver Northeast)
Yelp/Kitchen Table: BBQ & Comfort Food
Yelp/Allen R.
Melt-in-your-mouth pulled pork with homemade slaw, creamy mac and cheese, AND an all-natural soda? Now THIS is what I call comfort food!
7.) Hong Kong Barbecue (Denver Southwest)
Yelp/Riza H. C.
Yelp/Michael B.
As you may have already guessed, Hong Kong doesn't serve your traditional American BBQ... however, to miss any of their juicy and slow-roasted meats would be -- dare I say -- unAmerican.
8.) Roaming Buffalo BBQ (Denver University)
Yelp/Manzano J.
Yelp/Adam D.
Here is something you may not know: Colorado-style BBQ is a real thing and is made with slow-smoked lamb and native game. After the BBQ elsewhere became more popularity, Colorado-style fizzled... that is, until the Roamin' BBQ opened its doors and began serving their to-die-for Colorado Bison Short Ribs and Lamb Shank! Do yourself a favor and try Roaming Buffalo BBQ today (before it sells out, typically before 4 pm).
