    So very disappointing. I saw another location of this restaurants opened on 6th Ave recently, but I was in the area today and decided I would give it shot. It was the WORST chicken I think I've ever had. There was one other person in the restaurant when I arrived (could have been a sign . . ). I got the #1 (basic chicken sandwich) as a combo. What is listed as a "jumbo tender" is . . . not. I've included a picture of . . .whatever that is. The fries and chicken were both lukewarm at best and tasted as though they had been sitting around for quite some time. I'm not going to even try the 6th Ave location now and have already reached out via the company website for a refund. *Also a note: checkout the really stellar reviews. . . they all seem to only have 1 or 2 reviews ever posted. . . seems suspicious to me.

    We ordered this to our hotel room, did not take long was very fast. We were disappointed on the size of the fried jalapeños, paid around $7 for this tiny little side. Definitely not worth the seven dollars. The combo had just enough fries, but the tender on the bun was so tiny not worth it. The flavor and taste was there crunchy on the outside juicy on the inside. They just need to fix the portion sizes for the price you pay.

    My husband and I stopped by here on a whim. We were in the area getting boba and decided we wanted to grab some lunch first and this place caught our eyes. We got The Bird and The Loaded Bird and shared both- they were fantastic. The sand which was stacked nicely so the portions were a good size, and super tasty. We left pleasantly surprised and satisfied.

    A solid spot when I'm in Denver craving flavorful, spicy chicken. This is the Nashville-style hot chicken with a wide range of spice levels when you need a heat-packed dish. The menu features chicken sandwiches, wings, and deep-fried Oreos for dessert. The staff is friendly and like mountain climbing sherpas, will guide you through the spice options (caution: some choices can be very hot). The chicken wings are excellent, served with Buffalo sauce, BBQ sauce, or a fiery Nashville dry rub. The atmosphere is casual, the portion sizes are decent, and the service is quick but they do get busy which of course leads to longer wait times.

    Ok, spice is good. However, chicken is RAW!!! The cook needs to cook their chicken better to make sure they don't get their customers sick! Beware, ask the cook to leave the chicken on the grill longer, or find a better chicken place. Edit: Good they refunded when my husband went back there and showed the picture, but RAW chicken is carelessness. Please be safe.

    I pay more then $100 dollars for what i order and Im always getting my order wrong . Location colfax , they forgot how to make wings and a simple sandwich seriously guys .... Etc etc.....

    Not loaded or spicy. A sad, sad, overpriced establishment. Id rather get McDonald's next time, which is hilariously bad

    when i saw the photos, i was excited, but honestly i was kind of disappointed. When you order a sandwich that cost 9.99 and up and it doesnt come with anything else. *shaking my head* i think it is overpriced for a sandwich with nothing else. Atleast have some fries or come with a chip. Let start with the food we got. So we got the bird sandwich medium spicy, the early bird with the hotest spicy (with a sign wavier) and the loaded burrito. The spicy wasnt that spicy to be honest. The blazing was not as spicy as i thought it would be, the only thing that was spicy was the seasoning. If the whole chicken was spicy together, now that is a different story. Both the sandwich was not great becuz it comes with a small piece of chicken. The chicken was dry as well. The only good think i enjoy was the loaded burrito, but it didnt come with another sauce, only drizzle sauce on it. It needs some additional sauce to it. But overall, i have had better and i hope this place can up their game! The oreo shake was good, it got too sweet afterward. Im not a very sweet person, but my family like it.

    My lobster roll was quite delicious, and the price was good/average…read more It was $45 for the larger Bar Harbor lobster roll combo, including a Diet Coke and potato chips. This is a boring casual place in Denver. So I took the food to go and ate outside on a bench - a beautiful afternoon - and I went across the street and picked up two cans of white wine at Whole Foods

    Well, this is a mixed review as some of my visit was good, some not so good…read more I saw this on my Yelp app shortly after I arrived in Denver, and while lobster is my favorite food, I am always a bit dubious to eating lobster in a beef eating place like Colorado! Still, it sounded great and I made my way there with a coworker on my last day in Denver. We walked in and there was no one there, but it was past lunch. It was bright and looked like other lobster roll restaurants I have been to in Boston. We looked at the menu and both ordered the same thing- a hot Connecticut Roll with a side cup of Clam Chowder. We sat down and waited as the 2 staff prepared our food, and while we the only ones in there, every table was dirty, so we hesitatingly sat down at the cleanest one and waited. A few minutes later, they brought our food out to us, but we had to ask her to clean the table, which she quickly got a bottle of spray and a towel and wiped our table down. I dove into the Clam Chowder and was immediately disappointed- it was barely even warm, thin, watery and without flavor. I tried to spice it up with salt, pepper and hot sauce to no avail. Now, the lobster roll was a different story- bun toasted perfectly, the lobster meat layered inside with hot butter, I took a bite and was in heaven. The roll was good, so that saved the day- I would not order the chowder again, though. I sent to the bathroom to wash my hands and was immediately hit with the stench of sewer, so that was a real turnoff. This could be a 5 star place if they fixed the simple things. I would only come back here to get a lobster roll to go.

    Favorite!! I'd eat here every day and be perfectly happy about it…read more I always get the chicken sandwich. The seasoning on the chicken is so good, and you never get any chicken surprise, if you know what I mean. They trim it really well. Huge appreciation for that! If they sold the chicken by the cup I'd buy it and just snack on it! Pro tip for the chicken sandwich: add lettuce and feta, then get a side of the salad dressing and drizzle it over the top. So good. Legit one of those sandwiches you start thinking about later. The fries are extra good too. Crispy on the outside, fluffy in the middle, and the seasoning on them is flavorful and salty in the best way. If they served Coke products, this place would be a 6 out of 5 :)

    TLDR; Just get a gyro to go. Spanakopita not great…read more E Colfax gets a little seedy so it's not the most pleasant restaurant to walk to but the restaurant itself is clean. Order at the counter and have a sit while they prepare your food. The cashier was friendly. Food was ready in about 7 minutes I got the Beef Gyro Combo and the Spanakopita. Beef Gyro was excellent. Very tasty and filling. The fries were lightly salted, which was perfect. The veggies were fresh and crunchy. Spanakopita was not good. I did not finish it. It was nice and flaky, but the taste was off and the aftertaste was gross. Wouldn't recommend. Total was $23.49 after tip. Would definitely come back for just a gyro. The meal is just a little too much for me. Worth stopping by.
