    Restaurant

    Chose this place for price, proximity, and menu. Service friendly albeit a little slow. The sandwich was better than expected. Well fried, pleasantly spiced, with coleslaw and pickles. It was good. My biggest complaint was portion size. If I'm in the area again, I'm definitely ordering the wings because finding a good FRIED wing can be challenging. Fried chicken sandwich: 4.4

    Jumbo Tenders meal

    Stopped in for a quick solo lunch. The girl at the counter was nice and the vibe very dead/ not upbeat at all. I got the chicken tender basket with fries-- check was pretty good but the fries were not my favorite (they had a breading/coating of sone sort). I don't try their special sauce as it was mayonnaise base so I opted for the ranch and it was a little tangy.

    Loaded bird

    First time visit here. I love me some hot sandwiches, guy at the counter said there extreme heat which was the hottest they have needs to be eaten only after you sign a waiver. Your damn right I signed it and got the extreme sauce on the side and we poured it on. It's a dry rub but goes on well and packs a punch. So let's get to it. I was a little disappointed with the very hot and thought it was not as hot as I expected. Now don't get me wrong the extreme run was hot and unless you love hot heat it's probably not for you. Let me break it down. The chicken was cooked perfect and crispy outside and juicy inside. Coleslaw was great the bun we wonderful and they heat was hot. I order the original bird and my son got the loaded bird which came with mac n cheese on it. Price was good, a little high but fair.

    What's in this photo you ask .. an attempt at a skinny box of macaroni and cheese .

    Ooookay. I am trying to figure out why horrible food in Denver is so acceptable .. I have been here for 10 years and figured I'd be skinny by now . My daughter ordered from this place .. since I don't like seasoning on my fries, I ordered the fakeroni and cheese . It simply looks like Kraft Mac and cheese . My nine year old great niece could have done a better job.. of course upon opening I knew I needed salt and pepper ... no problem .. BUT The noodles were way undercooked and SWIMMING around in some orange / yellow substance .. RIDICULOUS ..

    My son and I visit this place every time he has a check up at Children's Hospital. We love the options of items and hot ratio. Very casual inside, all member have been very helpful and answer our questions every time.

    Number 3 with Fried Pickles
    Katie P.

    Had the number 3 medium spice level. Husband had number 3 hot spice level. The spice levels were good and the sandwiches had a lot of filling, however the flavor of the Mac and cheese wasn't my favorite nor was the slaw- it made my sandwich a bit soggy. I did like the pickle chips and. Taste tested the fries which were good too. It wasn't bad at all, I've just visited better Chicken spots around Denver. Place was clean and staff was nice but there was a chicken sound that went off every 3 mins which was a bit annoying.

    AMAZING service ! And the food is DELICIOUS. The blazing hot is TO DIE FOR literally haha

    The food is simply disgusting , the coleslaw taste like they mixed it with those bottled lemon juice honestly , why would you put lemon in the coleslaw in the first place??? and i ordered a lemonade i was expecting something more decent but no it literally taste just like lemon juice but not natural lemon more like those bottled lemon juice again mixed with sugar is disgusting IM SO DISAPPOINTED of spending my money on such a trashy food.... The whole thing was sour asf

    Loaded Burrito
    Dominic M.

    The loaded burrito is so delicious and filling. The fries are perfect and unmatched. The comeback sauce is beyond tasty. Many options to spice things up. Long story short, I come here to eat every chance I get!

    Vanilla Milkshake. There was a pump of chocolate I didn't request. Oops!

    After a meeting nearby, I found myself craving something new. A quick search brought me to Blazing Bird. PRO: Located across from the Ann Schutz Campus off I-225 and Colfax, Blazing Bird is in a prime location. CON: This location has notoriously terrible parking, and it can be difficult to enter and exit the parking lot. Oof. PRO: There's a variety of options that are all customizable in spice level to cater to your preference. CON: Like others have said, their hot isn't as hot as spice-lovers would like. I also noted that the hot really wasn't that hot. Perhaps the adjective "blazing" is a stretch here. Perhaps Seasoned Bird would be a more fitting name... PRO: Guy working at the register was nice enough to bring my order to my table. CON: This really didn't make up for the awkward experience ordering. I just don't think the guy at the register understood that I wanted a meal, but instead of a drink, I wanted a milkshake. That turned into a whole thing. I ended up with a vanilla milkshake that accidentally had a squirt of chocolate and a drink. Plus, bringing my order to my table held up the line of patrons waiting to order. Unfortunately this all just made it a meh experience. It was an okay experience, but I'm not rushing back to Blazing Bird anytime soon.

    My bowl is a #8 and the other bowl is a #10. Blazing Mac, Dave's Fried Jalapenos,Blazing Load

    The food was amazing. I got the #8 Mac and Cheese bowl, and the bowl (pictured about) was a #10. We also got Dave's Fried Jalapeños, which were also tasty. I'm going to be thinking about this food for the rest of our trip! Seriously delicious comfort food packed with flavor, spices, and topped with a delicious sauce. Staff were polite, and the place is clean. Would go again!

The windows are noticeably grimy and they leave silverware in an open container on the table for anyone to touch. We both had the fried shrimp dinner. The fries are good. No ketchup was offered. The shrimp came with watered down ranch which we used for our fries and a fast food container of cocktail sauce. In all fairness I would give 2.5 stars but I just cannot bring myself to 3 stars. In a bright note the vodka soda was a decent pour and helped wash down a mediocre meal.

I walked in and immediately realized it is now run as an Indian restaurant due to the intense incense aroma. Sometimes perceptions really are more important. When you expected A but received B, you feel off. So even though some of the fried chickens really aren't bad, somehow I felt "deceived", because, maybe I wasn't in the mood for Indian that day? I don't know. Services definitely is warm like spices and the original fried chicken is moist, I was still a bit turned off by the incense burning. I'm glad I've checked Angry Chicken off my list.

First, when we walked in, there was nobody in the front so we were just kind of standing there waiting for someone to greet us. The young man who did eventually greet us was nice and asked us if we were ready to order. Since we'd never been there, we didn't know that the concept is to order your food before you are seated and since we were totally unfamiliar with the menu, we were holding up the people behind us so he gave us some menus and we just kind of stood to the side until we knew what we wanted. The order counter is off to the side of the entrance and seating area and is kind of in the bar area which I thought was oddly placed. We ordered the onion rings as an appetizer and they were big and pretty good. My husband got the two piece dark chicken with collard greens and Mac and cheese, and I got the tenders and potato wedges. He remarked that the chicken was okay and the collard greens and Mac and cheese did not have much flavor. I tried his Mac and cheese and it seemed old and lacking in cheese or sauce. The chicken tenders were good but the potato wedges tasted old and not hot. The worst part for me though was that the tables are sticky - not because of something that was spilled but rather because of the varnish so it gives the impression that they are dirty. Also, when I used the women's bathroom, it looked like the stall doors have never been wiped down which totally grossed me out. Even though the food wasn't necessarily bad it isn't remarkable compared to any other chicken establishment, and the hype about the sauces seemed unwarranted. The BBQ and honey mustard sauces were way too sweet and the jalapeño ranch was devoid of ranch in my opinion. However, he main reason I wouldn't return is more because of the sticky tables and dirty bathroom stall doors.

I ordered the seasonal Thai Chicken Wrap with fries, and honestly, it's one of the best wraps I've had in a while. The crispy chicken tenders, Asian herb mix, crispy shallots, and green papaya dressing all had their own distinct flavors, but together they created a wrap that was incredibly balanced and satisfying. It felt like every ingredient was thoughtfully seasoned and intentionally paired. The biggest compliment I can give? I loved it so much that I went back a second time the same week. Definitely worth a visit.
