HISTORY
The Arapahoe Café has lots of history...there's a reason why our floors are a bit uneven and the walls are somewhat out of square.

Maybe you've heard of us-we have BBQ so good it will make your big toe wiggle! Stop by and see for yourself why we've won awards.

Arapahoe Cafe's Ribs

"My barbeculinary focus this year was ribs: beef, bison, lamb, mutton, and pork. I love them all, but the best thing I ate this year were the barbecue pork ribs made by Doug Pierce [Above, at his Arapahoe Café] at the Colorado BBQ Challenge held each summer in Frisco."
