    Big boy pibil with rice/beans and BLT salad
    Natalia S.

    Best chicken spot in Denver -- from the team behind the famed Riot BBQ (my fave BBQ spot in Denver) comes this spot focused on chicken. Adorable little spot for a quick lunch or takeout from Riot BBQ's Chef Manny Barella and Pitmaster Patrick Klaiber -- plus the rest of their lovely team. This spot is where Texas barbecue meets Northern Mexico's pollo asado traditions. This place reminded me how good chicken can really be! Just some of their mouthwatering menu: - Big Boy Pibil 1/2 Chicken (tangy, earthy, a little spice) - Señor Loco 1/2 Chicken (classic citrus pollo asado vibes) - "I'll Have a Sandwich" (chicken salad on a croissant) - Wrap It Up (a smoked chicken caesar wrap) - Mexican Protein Bar (turkey tamale with mole jojo) - Cesar and BLT salads Wed-Sun | 11am-8pm

    Chicken plate with 2 sides

    Stopped in for lunch. Definitely a small spot but you order at the counter and find a seat. We ordered the chicken plate and a salad. Both were super yummy! Beans was one of my sides and I want a tub of them. Great spot!

    Asked for a recommendation and ordered the Big Boy Pibil with beans and rice. Absolutely delicious! So flavorful, tender and moist. The place was packed with other hungry customers but service was fast. Seating is limited and there is no bathroom for customers, but don't let that stop you.

    2nd visit. I came on this snowy Friday to try their Mexican Protein Bar which are corn husk wrapped masa tamales. The masa is from Don Zorros and was filled with smoked turkey. The mole rojo is from Manny Barella's grandma. I got a small container of mole and got a 2nd one for free. Steamed well. The masa was slightly dry which the mole rojo sauced it just right. My order of 2 tamales for $18 includes 2 sides. I got the Mexican dirty rice and house side salad. Both good. I added Cerebral Brewing Just the Hops with guava water. The hops made it a refreshing drink. I was served by Jamie H. He was one of two employees. He said they had a brief surge when they opened today, but the snowfall has suppressed customers. He said that one day last week, they had continous demand until 7pm. I saw a Doordash person showed up to pick up an order. The dining area was clean and comfortable despite the chilly weather outside. I will be back to sample other menu items.

The place was small and cozy like. So we decided to dine in. I love the fact that everything is cooked to order, hot and fresh. I was skeptical because they had no lemon pepper seasoning. I know I know there are other flavors and I've tried plenty. I just always go back to good ol faithful lemon pepper. So we ordered the medium party pack. Which consisted of wings and tenders, and basket of loaded fries. Kenn got a Dr. pepper to go with it all. We heard the sauces were bomb. We got classic range, honey chipotle bbq, blue cheese dressings. Everything was delicious and we enjoyed ourselves... the chicken was crispy like I like it and the tenders oh my was delicious. We will be back.

You place your order at one of the kiosks, then just watch the pickup screen until your order is ready. The whole process is quick, simple, and efficient. 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.

Was immediately impressed by the staff. Greeted right away and they fully explained which food was safe and which ones to avoid. Also explained their precautions and overall process which was great. The place was very clean and looked well taken care of. The food itself was pretty great, given what they're trying to do without using flour. Texture was pretty spot on, but really the flavors are what got me. We tried both the plain and Nashville hot, and both were good. Tried 4 of their available sauces and everyone in the family agreed they were solid. The fries and most sides are also free from cross contamination so it was nice having a full meal where nothing was compromised or risky. Also appreciated the variety of lemonades and local sodas over the traditional coke/pepsi fountains most places offer. I won't say this fried chicken is a perfect one for one from my gluten eating days, but they've done a wonderful job of getting pretty close. The flavors and sauces get the experience pretty close in my opinion. Even my kids said they'd choose this over other "normal" fried chicken places. So if you're someone who avoids gluten and are craving some fried chicken, this place is absolutely worth a visit.

    Brought the wife and other kid after raving about Yardbird to them, and it was so disappointing the…read moresecond time around. First, wife is a vegetarian and they had no mains other than Mac and cheese for her. She ordered the salad without chicken which was $25. They knocked it down to $22 after I asked why it was the same price without meat, which still seemed like a lot for a salad with no protein. Kids' Mac and cheese was not the same receipe as last time; it was a different noodle and seemed to be needing some salt as it was pretty bland. Unlike our last visit they did not include an ice cream for dessert. My fried chicken and waffles was ok--the breading was a bit soggy though and I much preferred the Nashville hot chicken from my last visit. If I'm being honest this was closer to a 2 star experience, but with how good the last visit was, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt they maybe tonight they were just off. That said--need one vegetarian entree for the menu.

I love a good deviled egg but this one was just okay, it lacked any flavor. I also saw people rave about the cinnamon roll but it was just okay and dry. Steak and eggs were simple and classic but not warrant the price point. A lot of the items on the menu were a bit pricey for size/taste/quality but for a special occasion or date night could be worth it. Located off Blake St so parking is on the street, or garage if you prefer. There are some pull off areas where we saw many people being dropped off first. Stairs & ramp which make wheelchair/stroller accessible. Walk-ins are acceptable or you can make a reservation online! Menu includes GF options. Cool outdoor area for seating & games. Indoor seating's include standard, bar, booths & tables.
