Great food! Great vibes! Great Service!…read more A soul food restaurant, if not one of the best; may be THE best in the Denver metro area, and the state for that matter. The food is a fine example of excellent soul food done with love through culinary knowledge and experience. We ordered the Oxtail plate with greens and yams, which included cornbread smathered in sweet, buttery love; Catfish with greens and mac and cheese. Nothing was overly salty or too much seasoning. I am pretty picky when it comes to soul food, and am now a regular customer.

Real Soul Food: Blazing Chicken Shack II…read more Listen, if you're looking for that authentic, seasoned-to-the-bone flavor in Denver, look no further. Blazing Chicken Shack II is officially in my rotation, and for good reason. I've gone through the menu, and I'm telling you right now, they are putting their soul into this kitchen. Check the breakdown on why this spot is a Denver staple: The Wing Dinner: Pure perfection. The wings are top-tier and easily some of the best you're going to find in the city. The crunch, the seasoning, the moisture, it's all there. The Catfish: Man, listen. This is top three in Denver, period. If you think otherwise, go argue with yo momma, don't argue with me! The Sides: Everything is cooked with straight-up love and grace. The okra? It tastes exactly like my grandma used to make it. That's that nostalgic flavor you just can't fake. The Wait: Look, let's keep it 100, be prepared to wait. They are cooking everything fresh to order. If you show up during peak hours, just know it's going to be a minute. Quality takes time, fam. The Vibe: My only real gripe is I wish they were open longer, but I get the mission. When you're serving heat like this, you go until it's gone. Pro-Tip for the Inner Circle: Don't just show up and wait in line. Order online first, then give them a quick call to modify it for dine-in. By the time you pull up, your food is ready, and you can go straight to a table and start grubbing while it's fresh and steaming. Final Verdict: This is a Mile High favorite. If you haven't been, you're late to the party!

We arrived when they were opening. The menu has a lot of options. My go to is always catfish and…read morewhen I saw they did grits it was a no brainer. They also do bbq and I haven't had any in a while. I ordered the sampler with rib tips, burnt ends and fried shrimp. The grits were good and the catfish was light and crispy. The rib tips were coated in a sweet bbq sauce. Not my first choice but they were good. The burnt ends were tender. I also got to try the mini corn muffins - yummy, the mac and cheese - yummy, the yams - and the potato salad - bland. The owner told us it was his fault the potato salad wasn't good. He was a very friendly guy. Answered all our questions and spent time with us. It's always good to speak to the owner when you are from out of town. He's done a lot with the place. We would have gone another day to try other things but our schedule was tight. Everyone was happy with their choices. It's a nice place, live music on certain nights, lots of room.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEW DOGGY WAS THEIR FOOD GOOD!…read more I googled hush puppies and found this place. The hush puppies have a bit of a kick but they certainly satisfied my craving. My only complaint is the amount of salt added as they certainly didn't need it. Every thing that was fried came out nice and crispy. The shrimp were nice and large. My friend said the catfish had a hint of bacon. He certainly loved the fried green tomatoes. The baked beans were flavorful but personally, they don't need the ground beef. Sweet bay jeebus the Cole slaw. My goodness it was the best Cole slaw I've ever eaten and a refreshing bite with all of the rich foods. The owner was nice and attentive but the server could definitely use some training.

I'm originally from Virginia. I miss "home cooking", so I make an extra effort to hit places that…read morecan "scratch that itch". This was my 3rd visit here this year. I wanted to give the restaurant a chance especially since the owner worked hard after my first experience to make it right. I rate on a 1(awful) to 5 (amazing) scale. Ambiance: One of the cleanest restaurants I've ever been in. You can eat off the floors! Spacious and interesting interior. Loved the exposed brick. But the music was too loud & bumpin for a Sunday evening meal (in my opinion). Had to talk over it. Rating: 4.5/5 Food: I'm sensitive to profit margins and such. When I go to small businesses, I try not to ask for "extras". All I wanted was the fried pork chops with no gravy (they come smothered). The waitress said that wasn't possible. I asked why-all I wanted was for them NOT to put gravy on the pork-chops (I was going to get it on the side). She was adamant that wasn't possible and couldn't give me a reason why. Only thing I can figure is the pork-chops were pre-made and already smothered. So I got the fried chicken, cabbage, and yams with white bread. Cabbage was shredded (different than what I'm used to, but not bad.) Hot sauce gave them some flavor. Yams were very sweet, but I enjoyed them. Both portions of sides were TINY. Especially considering the a la carte price of over $5 per side. The fried chicken was...ok. Which is surprising since I always enjoyed their wings. Now, I was asked whether I wanted cornbread ot white bread. I said white bread & when I said white bread, I was expecting a roll. But I literally got four pieces of wonder bread. No butter either. I was going to get the Red Kool-Aide but they only had Blue. I understand, not a big deal and I even joked with the server about it. I settled for water. Then I saw the price for Kool-Aide: $4.50 and NO REFILLS!!! Egregious. I could see a limit on refills. But NO refills for $4.50??? IKYFL. Rating: 3/5 Service: MUCH improved since my first visit. I had a reservation, and arrived on time. I was greeted by the friendly hostess and sat immediately. But it went south with the previously mentioned pork chop issue. The server could've said "Let me ask if we can do that." No good reason and no attempt to see if anything could be done. No salt and pepper on the table and when I asked for some, I was given tiny packets. My glass was kept full of water by different people, all of whom were polite. But my waitress only came to the table after delivering our food once. The hostess actually cleared our table and brought a little machine over to take payment. No printed receipt, just reading the items from the machine and given a total. Strange and a little off-putting. I want to look at a paper receipt. But that's just me. No offer of dessert, just the bill and a thanks for coming. Rating: 2. Overall rating out of a possible 15, they earned a 9.5. A very generous "3 Stars". Today was my birthday and I was really looking forward to it. I left disappointed. I eat at a lot of restaurants and take people to lunch at least 2x per week. I tend to take people to the same places when I can get a consistently good experience. This being my 3rd visit and I'm still not satisfied, I can't say I'll be back.

Oh man, do not sleep on this place. We went on a Sunday evening and tried the neck bones, wings,…read moreMac and cheese, cheesy potatoes, greens, red beans and rice and onion rings. The neck bones and the red beans and rice are next level good and the corn bread was so buttery and delicious. Honestly there wasn't a bad bite of food. We also had the special house cocktail which was sweet and fruity and delicious. Check the hours before you go and come with a big appetite, we both brought at least half of our meal home and now I can look forward to having it tomorrow!

It was perfect when you're in the mood for some good old soul food but lack the time or desire to cook it for yourself. Thanks, you guys, for an amazing and professional experience! I forgot to take a picture because I literally scarfed it. I had catfish - fried to perfection with a nice crust, greens were really good. I couldn't tell if it was canned ONLY because there were large stems chopped up in it. However, it did not taste like a can at all because it was delicious and appears homemade. Mac and cheese was so good that I saved some for later just to savor it. And if you appreciate peach cobbler, this recipe was divine! It was the perfect balance of peaches and cobbler. It reminded me of my mother's recipe (my favorite) Not too sweet, perfection! Please give this small business a try!

It's in-home real cooking. My favorites so far are the cooked butter cabbage (no seasoning), bakes beans with meat, their fluffy mashed potatoes, their sweet rolls (I order extras), and their warm and delicious peach cobbler! You can order by calling them, texting them or using the QR Code. I am not as tech savvy and my phone won't do it. They have a different menu every Sunday, plus Thursday & Friday regular menu's. Best of all? They deliver! This is a wonderful couple making some delicious soul food. Give them a try, you won't regret it!

Being a sucker for karaoke, I sought out this place for a Sunday night karaoke session last time I…read morewas in Denver. It's a basic dive bar --domestic drafts, well drinks, and cheap wine. The bartender that night was absolutely great. The karaoke DJ (Sexy Jesus Karaoke) was friendly and fair, keeping repeat singers in the queue while adding in new singers as they arrived. Our group had a fantastic time and got to sing several times. The crowd was eclectic, supportive, and full of good singers. The one thing none of our group appreciated was that the front windows were wide open and people smoked outside the entire night. They literally had ashtrays on the windowsill. We all reeked of smoke by the end of the night. Kind of a bummer, and something to consider if you're thinking of going here when it's warm enough to have the windows open.
