Denver Barbecue Review: Yazoo (on Arapahoe)

My second barbecue experience in Denver was at Yazoo. It was convenient to go to this newer location near my hotel, not their original location.

First sign that something's not quite right...their house specialty is a Bob...a chicken dish.

Now I saw a bunch of people ordering it. It looked good. Chicken with jalapenos and bacon on skewers. But it's chicken. Barbecue places all over the country feature pork, brisket, ribs as their signature dish...but chicken?

Anyways, I got the 1/2 pound pork sandwich with beans.

The pork was dry and not that flavorful. Luckily, they had an assortment of good sauces, so it was an enjoyable sandwich.

But as far as barbecue goes, I wasn't impressed. Maybe I'll have to try the Bob, sometime when I'm in the mood for chicken, just not barbecue.

Pork Sandwich: B-
Beans: B
Overall: B-
