"You’ve got plenty of options for barbecue around town, but if you’re in the Gulch, it's worth checking out Peg Leg Porker. It’s fast casual, so expect a quick-moving line to get to some of their famous pulled pork. It’s a thing of beauty, especially if you order the tender protein as a sandwich, slathered with creamy slaw. You should also try their yardbird chicken, with its smoky and sweet seasoning that strikes a satisfying balance between the crispy skin and tender meat. The smoked green beans, mac and cheese, and barbecue beans are the best sides here—just be sure to wrap your meal up with the thick and creamy banana pudding. And if the weather is playing nice, the patio out in front is perfect for some people-watching with your pork." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak
"If you’re looking to get away from the touristy crowds near Broadway, the Gulch is … not the place to do it (you can thank a certain winged mural for that). Still, it's worth checking out Peg Leg Porker for some of that pulled pork. It’s really a thing of beauty, especially if you order the tender protein as a sandwich, slathered with creamy slaw. It’s also worth trying their yardbird chicken, with its smoky and sweet seasoning, that strikes a satisfying balance between the crispy skin and tender meat.

"Peg Leg Porker, run by pitmaster Carey Bringle, offers Memphis-style barbecue, with pork ribs smoked for three to four hours before applying a proprietary dry rub. They also serve brown sugar and bacon baked beans, mac and cheese, and deep-fried pies topped with vanilla ice cream." - Jon Gugala
