has anybody tried "Yazoo BBQ" downtown? would be interesting to hear how it compares to the Hickory House....

Park Burger in Wash Park was pretty darn good,

Quincy's steakhouse in Buena Vista/Leadville etc. I think is exceptional- I can't believe a filet meal (6oz) for $8. I have paid over $60 for filet that was not as good as theirs. I also appreciate their menu- your "choice" is only size- and what drink you would want. M-Th is filet, Friday thru Sun changes to prime rib and/or sirloin roast or something like that.

for something to mix it up, Cafe Brazil in Denver Highlands is top five in Denver for me. Family run/owned place- great quality ingredients and reasonable for what you are getting.

Also another vote for Root Down.

La Loma, Lola or Patzcuaro's for "southern food" for me.
