Rang Tang Craft Barbecue

Phenomenal, real food that doesn't sacrifice quality or taste! So rare to find minimally processed, unrefined foods that taste good- but that's all Rang Tang offers. Everything from the brisket to the carrots to the sauces!

It's a breath of fresh air to meet a chef that cares not only about what produces a delicious meal, but also what the healthiest option is for his customers. And if you're just looking for good ol' barbecue, don't miss this. I promise you can taste the love in it.

We are so lucky to have Rang Tang Craft Barbecue in the Boulder area. I love to get there food at the Boulder Farmer’s Market and I get their newsletter to find out where else they will be.

Their barbecue and sides are so high quality and well prepared. I must tell you that their burnt ends are the most brilliant barbecue I’ve ever had, exceeding anything in Texas and the Carolinas. I make a version of their coriander coleslaw already, which is delicious. Great sides, wonderful staff and service. I’m so glad I discovered it! You will be too. I send all my friends there way. Don’t miss out.

The best barbecue in CO made with love and local, clean ingredients. No seed oils! I took my dad and his one complaint was that the meat was so tender that it wouldn’t stay on his fork. Everything on the menu is exceptional.

I grew up in South Carolina and always love the Carolina sauce pulled pork sandwiches. I ordered it here at the Boulder’s Farmers market location and it was phenomenal. The smoke on their pork was so incredibly favorable. It was clearly created and built by excellent chefs that truly appreciate their craft. Well worth the trip!

I am picky about BBQ. There are few BBQ places where I will eat. Rang Tang is AWESOME! Their meat is so good, it doesn't even NEED sauce! It's delicious AND made with top quality ingredients! Wonderful! THANK YOU!!!

I have two Green Eggs, a Traeger and great affection for smoked meat. Finding this barbecue truck at the Boulder farmers market was true serendipity. They use grass fed beef and no seed oils. The Burnt Ends have incredible taste with the most perfect texture. The guys in the truck are very friendly and it was awesome to talk shop with them. I am definitely visiting this during my next trip to Boulder.

really delicious and I love the regenerative raised meats and no seed oils I’ve been wanting to try this forever. It was slightly small portions for $30; however, really good! Glad this place exists!

Some of the best BBQ I've had in this area. Great service. Love the slaw and pulled pork.

The price was outrageous, but I'm willing to pay for the high quality ingredients.

y'all should be ashamed.

i paid $30 for a few pieces of brisket and a sausage with slaw. waited there for nearly an hour before asking if i could just cancel my order, as i was working an event nearby, but the guys in the truck just rushed my order to the front instead. it was disappointingly dry and flavorless—the casing on the sausage was extremely tough too. i understand that they use very high quality beef, which would justify the price, but i would rather buy $30 worth of factory-farmed brisket than feel buyer's remorse for dry grass-fed meats that ended up ruining my day. and it wasn't even hot :( just lukewarm, dry meats.

i also think it's ridiculous to make people wait for 45 minutes or more for a plate at a food truck. it's not a sit down restaurant and isn't the idea of bbq to have slow-cooked meats ready ahead of time? so i'm not really sure what exactly i was waiting for, but i wish i saved my money and time and went literally anywhere else in the market.

also, my friend wanted to order the meatballs, but they were sold out despite the sign still being up. maybe take two seconds to remove the sign or write 'sold out' so your customers know what to expect. we waited about 15 minutes in line, so she had to quickly pivot to the mac and cheese when it was time to order. it wasn't a problem since she liked it, but we both found it a tad inconsiderate.

don't make your customers wait for bad overpriced bbq if you can't be prepared with your portions ahead of time—it's just bad business. everyone knows the market gets busy, so i kind of find it hard to believe that they 'got slammed with orders'. just don't give these guys your money because they clearly don't respect bbq or their customers' time. rancid vibes all around.

go support the vietnamese food stand instead; you'll wait a bit in line, but will be handed a fantastic banh mi and a lime mojito in under a minute for less than $15. and then you can get on with your life because you have more important things to do than wait for bad brisket.

Are you kidding me with this food! It is the real deal. I've had a lot of bbq in my day and you can tell when it is actually smoked with true fire. Everything was delicious and I say that as someone who almost never eats out, we make just about everything ourselves. To taste something of this high quality reminds me that there are people out there doing good by food.

L.R. is a master of his craft and a passionate purveyor of food that's good for people and the planet. BBQ is not my typical food choice, but when I arrived at a party catered by Rang Tang and was trying to figure out what to eat, L.R. convinced me to try everything! He told me the backstory of the beef he sources and how he uses only the best local ingredients. It was all incredible. Highly recommend!

Rang Tang Barbecue catered an event for us and it was fabulous! We had burnt ends, beans, mac and cheese and coleslaw. It was all DELICIOUS and L.R. was able to meet the needs of gluten free and dairy free guests. Definitely suggest using them for your next personal or business catering needs!

What is extra neat is that they use local meat and organic produce!

Delicious. Locally sourced. Life giving. Rang Tang will take very good care of you and your belly. Gouda mac & cheese with burnt ends and green chile was the first beef I had since 4 years a vegetarian — and it was incredible. You can taste the local love in every bite. You gotta have it!!
