Pretty good for a fast food restaurant. I'd come back sometime the only issue is that homeless and sketchy people walk in like it's their "home" and beg everyone for money . Employees never say a word and just look. Something regarding this must be done. I know it's right there at Union station but still.. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

My experience matched a lot of other reviews here and I wish I would have read them before coming to this establishment on a whim (I saw an ad for smash burgers that looked amazing) We ordered two smash burgers and the loaded fries. The burgers were ok but not worth going out of our way for next time, but the loaded fries were obviously reheated and stale. I was disappointed that our food was not made fresh at this business. At that point it's glorified gas station food. Do better Blazing Bird! There was only one other customer in the restaurant when we visited on a Friday night so obviously this place isn't highly regarded in the neighborhood. I was excited to find a hot chicken place that wasn't as overrated as Dave's (wayyyy tooo salty) but blazing bird is not it. read more

Place is updated and very clean. The food to me is very good and a solid price for what they give. Comeback sauce is very good. My only reason for 4 instead of 5 is just because they messed up the orders originally but dealt with it in a great way letting us keep the extra meal and made a second one very quick which was very good. read more

Blazing Bird -Downtown Denver - Oreo Chocolate Milk Shake - Comfort Food Near Me - Denver, Colorado

The second best Nashville hot chicken. They have a similar heat scale and chicken tender size. I got The Bird chicken tender sandwich ($9.99), their most basic item. The bun is fluffy, and the chicken is moist and flavorful. Their house sauce is very good read more

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. read more

Tried this place for the first time and had the grilled chicken tenders , fries and Nashville wings. The grilled tenders were perfectly cooked, fries seasoned well and wings expertly fried - crispy but not too dry. Give these guys a chance and ignore the bad reviews. We'll be back! read more

Service was good, they even brought it to our table because it was slow at the time. Chicken was a little better than "Dave's Hot Chicken." Got the standard sandwich, only gripe was the chicken strip was longer than wide so some of the sandwich didn't really have chicken, but the chicken was pretty great, even though the sandwich needed a little more of it imho. Fries were good, better than Dave's for sure. I'd come again. read more

Are you kidding me for $45 an entree for mid mexican food? It's low key insulting. I highly DO NOT recommend

suuuper mid food. tenders weren't the slightest bit crispy. paid 50$ for 7 tenders and 3 sides. service was horrible, guy seemed like he hated being there and having to do something. was also really dirty inside. read more

Grabbed a quick lunch to go! I liked the heat and flavor of the chicken, and the tacos were larger than I was expecting which was a plus. Also got an order of fries which were okay but nothing special. Friendly service too. read more

Overall, the service was great! :) Workers were relaxed and got the meal to me quickly. I loved the Loaded Bird sandwich (it has mac and cheese in it with a yummy buttered bun). The wings were doused in red hot and they were everything short of glorious. Don't get wings here. Overall? Great time. (They were playing chill lofi for the music and that helped the overall experience. read more

Ordered a delicious chicken sandwich from them today on uber eats. The portions were huge!! Will order again!

Horrible. Over spiced, expensive for a small piece of chicken. Mac & cheese old and hard

Since I've had Dave's hot uchicken, I thought I'd try this place. Decent Spicy chicken sandwich. Is it the better than Dave's? Mmm depends... the buns were definitely better in quality compares to Dave's. But the chicken and spice level and temperature wasn't great. I ordered medium and it was more mild than medium spice. Temperature wasn't very hot. Just tepid warm. And there wasn't enough spice rub on the chicken itself. I got the chicken sandwich with Mac n cheese added but requested mac n cheese on the side and it was "meh" as well, quite soft and wasn't cheesy enough. So overall, it's a decent place. A bit overpriced. Hubby and I each got a sandwich without drinks or sides and came to be about $30. read more

Blazing Bird -Downtown Denver - Medium Spicy chicken sandwich with Mac n cheese on the side - Comfort Food Near Me - Denver, Colorado

The two guys at the counter never stopped chatting; not even while taking my (or anyone else's) order. They charged me a bagging fee because they couldn't be bothered to ask whether it was "for her or to go" which pissed me off. The food itself was mediocre and extremely over-priced. Over $12 for what was basically a side salad with a chicken nugget on top. And the place is just really barren and feels uninviting. read more

The food was amazing. Person working the front was very kind. The meal was enough for me to share with my husband and we were both full. We ordered "hot" and there was still 2 hotness levels above this but it was still incredibly hot I was impressed since I like hot ! Sometimes you order hot sauce some places that end up being more like mild and this was definitely hot to both myself and my husband. I highly recommend this place :) read more

We came here hoping to get a spicy chicken sandwich. We both got The Bird with one being the combo. We took the sandwiches to go and when we got home (only a 3 minute drive away) we were sorely disappointed in the amount of french fries (as seen in the photo) and the quality of the sandwich itself. Both sandwiches were cold and didn't even come close to having the medium spice level we both asked for. $26 for low quality food. Not worth it. read more

Really really not worth the price for what you get. One skinny chicken tender on a bun with coleslaw for $11 is such a rip off. Go to one of the other 4 hot chicken places within a 1 mile radius if you actually want to eat a lunch. Taste was ok, bun was stale. Chicken is dry. Just a bummer really. read more

Blazing Bird -Downtown Denver - The Bird-Chicken sandwich - Comfort Food Near Me - Denver, Colorado

As a former resident of Nashville, I was excited to try this place. If you've ever been to Nashville and had hot chicken you know that Hattie AB's and Prince's reigns supreme. This place....is not either one of those. I'm tact, it's terrible. I ordered a chicken sandwich and the chicken was barely half the width of the bun, which lead to plenty of just stale bun bites. The seasoning on the chicken wasn't good and wasn't anything like true Nashville hot chicken and the fries tasted like they were from a carnival or state fair. Very underwhelming overall. If you're in the mood for better hot chicken, go to Dave's. It's not Nashville, but it's better than this. read more

I came on lunch and I'm mad at myself for paying $18.00 for a meal that wasn't even appetizing. I know that food companies prep ahead so a business can run smoothly throughout day. The only item that was cooked when I ordered was the egg because the yolk is hard. The slaw is soggy and the fries aren't even fresh, they aren't busy there was only 1 customer waiting when I got here so I'm not understanding why the food is cooked prior to ordering or stored properly so it taste fresh. read more

After the first bite I knew I had made a mistake, shortness of breath and hiccups two signs the toilet will not be my friend in a few hours. The extra hot is 10/10 hot. After that first bite and getting a glass of milk I finished the sandwich in near tears. Had to finish what I started. Special teams special players. My insides feel like I put two softballs in a dryer. My only question is How dare you! Will return. It slaps read more

We stopped in on our way to the light rail and I'm so glad we did! The owner was running the front of house and he was so pleasant and energetic that we loved the place before we even got our food. One thing that really stood out was how flipping clean it was! There is so much pride of ownership and it was pleasantly unusual. The food was great too! They offered a good variety and from this order I can tell you the chicken sandwich, Mac & cheese, fries and coleslaw are delicious! Definitely stop and give it a try! read more

Super mediocre. Not very flavorful. Dave's hot chicken is better. The mac n cheese was flavorless. Same with the coleslaw and the medium spicy chicken wasn't even spicy. Mainly tasted of paprika. read more

Got the basic chicken sando with medium heat. Wasn't bad and not dry but was so so. Chicken is grilled and was expecting it to be breaded but I can see doing this for a lunch option if you're in the area. Location is central and really close to the rail station. read more

Very good "hot style" chicken. We usually go Dave's Hot Chicken but I think k prefer this place better. Seasoning isn't as pungent like Dave's. The bird was perfect size sammy. Also delicious fries and yummy house sauce. The mild at Dave's is still too strong with seasoning for my kids. This places no heat, is perfect! Very tasty! And the owner is so nice, little error on our original order but they fixed it quickly! Great service ;) read more
