The chicken, side dishes, and even the sauces were all above any expectation if could have had and all tasted exemplary.

Very good. Even the delivery was up to par, chicken was absolutely perfrct and the squash fries were cooler than i expected. Mist try

Disappointing. I had been in Chook before, and the aroma of the grilling chicken was delicious. Unfortunately, the experience of eating the chicken was not as delicious. I found that the chicken tasted ok, but nowhere near as good as it should have, particularly for the price. It was fully cooked, but just barely. I really would have liked it to have been a teeny bit more well done. The wedge potatoes, however, were absolutely delicious. Next time, I am going to get a few orders of the potatoes and skip the chicken! Just kidding. I also had broccoli salad which was not what I expected either. I may have misread the description, but I wasn't expecting raw broccoli. I followed their instructions for a low contact pick up, which also did not go that well. I had to call twice and waited almost 10 minutes (after having given them more than enough time to prepare my order) for them to actually get it to me. I was offered a lame excuse about re-warming the potatoes. In sum, I doubt I will eat here again. read more

Amazing food and service at a decent price! I shared the meal for 2 with a friend and we both loved everything! Got the Mac n cheese, mashed potatoes and a Greek salad with our meal. Sauces were great as well. Plenty of food to split between 2 people with some additional leftovers. I will certainly come back read more

Love this place! My friend and I split the quarter chicken, roasted squash, Mac and cheese, and mixed vegetables with tahini. Everything was DELICIOUS. Casual/quiet atmosphere, quick service, reasonable prices; Chook is definitely an anytime restaurant with the quality of a higher-end one. read more

I have been wanting to try this restaurant for months and I finally did! To start, it was better than I could have ever imagined. The rotisserie chicken was great but the true star of the show was the sides and the salad. The salads were some of the best ever, fresh grilled vegetables in every one. The sides are healthy, flavorful, fresh, and delicious! I loved the miso brócoli. When I left, I felt satisfied without any sense of guilt. That being said, I went back the next day and tried the Mac and cheese (SO GOOD). This is my new favorite neighborhood restaurant and I will be returning again and then again after that. read more

I'm a vegetarian, & this place deserves 5 stars. Alex Seidel does it again - allstar restaurant owner! I heard about this place through my company, & had checked out the menu every day for like a week before getting a chance to go over there. I am so glad I did; this place did not disappoint. Located right on the corner of Louisiana & Pearl, this is a small, hip restaurant with a trendy vibe. When we got inside, the cashier greeted us with a smile & told us about the menu since we were new. They have so many choices to satisfy meat, plant, & gluten-free eaters alike (not entirely sure about vegans, though) - I settled on a side of mac & cheese & the charcoal broccoli salad. No complaints about anything - the salad was very flavorful, & the mac & cheese was tasty! The size of the small dishes were more than ample to feed me & even gave me a whole lunch portion's worth of leftovers. The friends I was with split a full chicken, street corn, & mac & cheese, & said all were delicious as well. Since we had come in on a Friday at dinner time, the only seats left were right up against the cooking area / grill, which was cool because Alex was cooking & was extremely attentive to our needs. When we went to pack up our leftovers, he informed us that everything they use from the takeout containers to the silverware was compostable (deserves an additional star in my book - GO EARTH!), & even gave my friend an extra cup of gravy. TL;DR: Go here the next time you are in the DU area. It won't disappoint - it's hard to find restaurants these days that hit the mark in both the food & service area, & this one for sure did! Can't wait to come back & try the Curri-Cauli Flatbread. read more

Man....THAT BLAT SANDWICH HITS! I took a bite and instantly though "this is the best sandwich in Denver". My favorites: Smashed Cucumber and the Potato Wedges! My Partner loves their veggies and gravy for dipping. This is our go to chicken spot. Proper! Come see why! read more

100% my new favorite restaurant in Denver. I had heard about Chook through various platforms, and its rotisserie chicken-based menu immediately had me recalling two most favorite meals of my entire life: a chicken shack on the island of Cozumel selling rotisserie chickens with warm corn tortillas and beans for mere pesos, and a Parisian picnic where E and I feasted on street-cart rotisserie chicken and potatoes that had been roasted in the chicken's flavorful oily drippings. I immediately began looking for an opportunity to see if Chook stood up to all the hype! E and I arrived on a rainy, chilly Spring evening around 8pm. We ordered at the front counter - half a chicken with all three sauces, mac & cheese, charred vegetables, and delicata squash - and took some of the only seats available, in the very back at a counter in front of the rotisserie. E and I are always looking for some dinner entertainment, and these seats did not disappoint. We got a front and center show for every chicken that was pulled off the open coals and deconstructed for dinner plates, and we also got a good view of the organized chaos happening in the enclosed kitchen. Although built on a fast-casual concept, we felt so well taken care of. The front-of-house manager made sure we had water and checked in on us a couple of times, and our food was brought to us instead of having to retrieve it. On top of that, we struck up a conversation with the cook in charge of the chickens, and learned a fun thing or two! The longer we stared at those juicy chickens spinning over the coals, the more our anticipation built! When our dinner arrived, we gleefully tucked in to one of the most delicious meals we've both eaten in AGES. The chicken was juicy and perfectly seasoned, with an amazingly crisp and smoky skin. The three sauces - bright chimichurri, spicy, warm piri piri, and a classic gravy - each complemented the meat so well. E loved the piri piri best, but I am still having dreams about that chimichurri. Chook, care to share the recipe?! I'd literally pile it on anything and everything. The sides were standouts on their own. The delicata squash, my personal favorite, arrived roasted perfectly, with spots of charred skin, drizzled with brown butter and topped with almonds and soft feta. The charred mixed veg showed how determined to be sustainable and low-waste the restaurant is - broccoli crowns were accompanied by chopped broccoli stems (something most people throw away!), cauliflower, and carrots. They were topped with a smoky lemon tahini and E proclaimed them his favorite side. The mac and cheese, though, was no slouch - made from scratch with white cheddar, it is ridiculously rich and silky smooth. Drink-wise, they have a small but varied collection of on-draft local craft beer, on-tap red, white, and pink wine, and a few select no-frills classic cocktails. The people are friendly, the interior is homey and comforting and bright, and the food is absolutely delicious. But above all, the business practices of this restaurant are to be celebrated and supported. Clean ingredients, healthy natural chickens, an emphasis on composting and recycling - I highly recommend you explore their "Food Practices" of their website because that right there is what ALL restaurants should strive towards. E and I cleaned our plates and loved every minute and every bite. We can't wait until the next time we get to dine with the friendly people and delicious birds at Chook! read more

Three stars because the food is actually pretty amazing. The man who OWNS the place is NOT. This place hires people telling them everyone STARTS at $20.98. Well it's ACTUALLY $16 an hour. BARELY minimum wage. They then only give certain few employees ENOUGH hours to actually LIVE. They do their BEST to make sure they don't have to provide the many benefits they advertise upon your interview. MANY of these new GENTRIFIED spots are making sure they cut off employees hours at 30 to avoid having to pay for their benefits. That being said I OBVIOUSLY walked out. Then when you DO leave they REFUSE TO PAY YOU!!!! It's 2022. People are DONE being walked on by employers because you guys need minions to fulfill YOUR dreams. After two UNANSWERED text messages I'll be calling the Labor Board and an attorney. read more

The beet & berry salad was so good! Everything we ordered was great, but that salad was impressive.

What a delightful surprise. Chook is Australian slang for chicken, and the restaurant (one of whose owners is said to be Australian) does not disappoint. The primary entree is grilled chicken, and it was perfectly prepared. Sides are generous (fine for two), and all was as tasty as the signs in the windows promised. Service was friendly and efficient, though not quite as attentive as one might hope. (Still, I prefer that to those who hover over their customers. read more

Loved it! I had their chicken with peri-peri and chimichurri sauces, and it was great! This was my first time, and I would have ordered all of the sides since they all looked delicious! I went with the brown butter squash and the mac-n-cheese and was not disappointed. I am looking forward to my next visit to try the other sides. read more

I was shook by Chook!!! The menu is fairly small, which I appreciate it. It makes picking out what you want to eat so much easier. We got the chicken sliders, mac and cheese, and the booyah stew. All were out of this world amazing. The sliders have slaw on them, and GRAVY. The mac and cheese is beyond delicious, and has this amazing tang to it. The only thing I wish this restaurant had was included sides with sandwiches. Everything is a la carte. read more

Definitely splurged over the weekend. Starting the year of well and with a big dent in our wallets. Started off with Chook and it was not your typical Costco rotisserie chicken. It had a nice charred flavor and their piri piri sauce was my favorite. Stupid me ordered the chicken salad thinking it was a chicken salad l, but it was a chicken salad sandwich. I'm not a chicken salad sandwich person but I enjoyed this one! The pitcher of beer was a little pricey, but the pitcher was pretty cute. read more

Good food - well prepared, yet moist. We had take out so can't comment on the ambiance or service.

Favorite new local spot--and yet another reason to love Pearl St! A healthy but not boring dinner option, accommodating to those of us with allergies, and fun drinks! Some argue that you can go to Costco and get an entire rotisserie chicken for just $4.99-but I would argue back that it doesn't have the same amazing seasoning and sides! We will be back! read more

I cannot get enough of Chook. I talk about it all the time and sound like some kind of rotisserie chicken obsessed weirdo. But Chook is so good I don't care! The avocado chicken sandwich is tasty as other reviews have mentioned, but if youre looking for a warm sandwich I recommend the sliders. They remind me of Thanksgiving without the guilt of how much I just ate. The grilled veggies, mac and cheese, and mashed potatoes are all exceptional choices for a side. My personal favorite is the delicata squash with browned butter and feta, its unreal. Obviously, the charcoal rotisserie chicken is great, too. Chook also gives 10% of its proceeds to a charity or nonprofit each month which I think is nice. read more

Chook is a shirt distance away from our home. This was our first experience and it did not disappoint. The chicken was great and we enjoyed our sides of wedges and Mac and cheese. As we become more familiar with the menu, we will perfect our order. read more

Chook never disappoints! The food is outstanding, always. Every person we've ever encountered there is so friendly, nice and helpful. We take everyone who visits from out of town there! Can't wait to go back. read more

My wife and I placed an order to go. When I went to pick up our food, I found out the order we placed was for a separate location. Their manager, Chip, voided the other order, placed a new order at the location I was at, and put it at the top of the priority list. Just phenomenal service. Aside from this awesome service, the food here is great. We live blocks from Chook and have it on a very regular basis. It is our favorite take out restaurant (and also a great atmosphere for dining in). They have perfected a nice clean meal. Without this experience, we would have continued to support this business on a regular basis. With the experience, we will be even more inclined to do so. read more

Fantastic food! The chicken salad sandwiches are to die for and I love their Mac and cheese. The aesthetic is really pretty as well!

I have no idea how long this restaurant at Orchard and University has been around because I had never heard of it until yesterday. But today I ordered delivery from them and it was very good. I ordered the chicken noodle soup because I've had a cold. It was very good. I also ordered the mashed cucumbers. they were not mashed and had too much onion but still very good. I loved the nuts in it. just too much onion. read more

Simply delicious. The chicken is fantastic but that isn't even the end of the story. The sides are fresh, flavorful and hand made right there. The people are friendly and enjoy talking about the foods. They will steer you in the right direction for your pallet. The Booyah Stew is a 7 out of 10 and honestly the only thing that didn't hit the mark but for someone else it may be a 10. read more

So happy to have this spot in the platte park neighborhood! Delicious rotisserie chicken over charcoal and a plethora of sides. The roasted vegetables are amazing with lemon tahini and some nuts on top, super delicious and unique! Just the flavors I like. The chicken is great too. Can't wait to try sandwiches they have on the menu for lunch. Don't forget to try the chimichurri sauce with your chicken it is superb! read more

A bit above average chicken (previous reviewer mentioned not that much better than supermarket), decent sides. DEF not worth the price - I got a half chicken and one side = close to $20 with tax!! NOT twice as good as decent rotisserie for MORE than twice the price!! read more

I had high expectations for Chook with all the praise it receives, and it did NOT disappoint! I ordered a quarter chicken with white meat, and a half panzanella salad on the side. I had trouble deciding between the panzanella and street corn, and I was very surprised that the super friendly person who took my order gifted me a side of street corn as well! I was super grateful for that. I tried the street corn first, and let me tell you...this is about the best rendition of street corn I've ever had. They seemingly season it with their chicken salt (not sure) and it has this crazy good, smoky, savory complexity that you don't always get from street corn. It was perfect. I tried the panzanella next, and it was of the absolute highest quality, just like the street corn. I'm pretty sure they used garden-grown tomatoes--possibly heirlooms--and the bread and ricotta were super fresh and delicious. I don't mean to exaggerate, but the panzanella was also possibly the best I've ever had. Lastly (but not leastly), I finally tried the chicken. My word, it is delicious. Grilled, fried, roasted, or otherwise...this is some of the tastiest chicken I've ever consumed. It's incredibly juicy, and the skin is perfectly seasoned and crispy. I tried the piri piri and the chimichurri, and both complemented the chicken very well. I personally favored the chimichurri and will probably pick it again in the future, but both sauces were very fresh and complex. I also tried my friend's avocado chicken sandwich and mac and cheese, and they continued to impress. I like my mac and cheese strong and thick, just like my men, and Chook's is definitely that. Great choice of cheeses in the sauce. The sandwich was extremely fresh and flavorful. Whatever herbs they put into the sauce on the sandwich were brilliant, and I cannot express how good the bread is. I failed to ask where they get their bread or if they make it in-house, but it's crusty, chewy, and perfect. All-in-all, this is the best restaurant of any cuisine or price point that I've had since moving to Denver. It is worth going out of your way for, but be warned...you will not be going just once. This is the stuff of crazed cravings and avid addictions. I can't wait to go back. read more

I am so impressed with this place! It was sad that the wine bar left, but this is a great addition to the neighborhood. A perfect daytime or night time eatery. It's a concept out of Australia, cooking the chicken over charcoal. We split the avocado chicken sandwich which was surprisingly refreshing! We got a quarter chicken, the chart veggies, the squash, and the chips. Like big french fries. All of the food was delicious! The tahini sauce on the charred veggies was YUM, tased creamy but no dairy! Employees are incredibly kind and helpful. There's a super cute kids corner where they can draw, read, play and color. It's a order at the front and sit down type of place, but that doesn't seem to make it less nice. Just less expensive! Which is a win for me. I left the restaurant completely full, and yet not feeling that sick feeling. It seems like really healthy food! We will be back ASAP. read more

Normally when I write a 5 star yelp review, it is long overdue and I have an insane amount of information to share on a given place. I've now been to Chook three times, twice in the last seven days, and my girlfriend and I have worked our way through a significant portion of the menu. I don't have a ton to say other than try everything there. The sides we've had are all on point, the chicken has been great all three times we've been, the sauces are all delicious, and the salads are all amazing. Like, I can't even choose my favorite salad. The service there is great too. Everybody is super nice, and not in that Chick-Fil-A kinda way where they're all forced to say "my pleasure" and crap like that. If you're looking for a fine dining experience, this isn't it. Fair warning. But it is done by people who know that side of things as well. This is just their foray into reaching a wider audience/price demographic. It is a no frills, no bs type place - the menu isn't crazy, but they do every single thing well - completely on point. It's clear nothing is on the menu by accident. Do yourself a favor and go. You won't be upset read more

The food here is good but unless you're a fan of getting trampled by crazy people looking for tables and cutting you off, I'd say go elsewhere until they figure out the restaurant seating situation. The place is tiny and there is no organization for seating so people will come in, have one person stand in line while the other person elbows everyone around them to grab a table from the very limited seating selection. Maybe it's just me but if i'm paying for food, I expect a place to sit -- anywhere, even a rickety old chair -- anywhere! Anyway, once you miraculously beat down an old lady to finally get a table, there are 4 other parties that will lurk over you and watch you eat bite by bite in order to make you uncomfortable so you eat faster. One lady even cut us in line and said "I grabbed a table already so I should get to be in front of you -- the sooner I eat/finish the sooner you can sit!" I was at a loss for words. Thanks but I'll pass on the Hunger Games Dining Experience. read more

Really impressive sides and chicken is juicy and we'll seasoned. I love the variety of indulgent side mixed with a lot of solid veggie options. Very good value for what you get, especially if you are sharing and get the larger meals. read more

We got the chook for one, a chicken BLAT sandwich, with sides of potatoes, slaw, and squash. The portions of the sides were pretty generous, as well as the sandwich, but the chook for one seemed pretty small. The rotisserie chicken was good. We enjoyed the squash and the slaw, the potatos were good but very greasy. I didn't enjoy the BLAT sandwich at all. The chicken salad sounded really good on the website but it was so incredibly salty that I couldn't taste anything in it besides salt/garlic. If there were cherries and pistachios in there, I didn't find any. I couldn't finish the sandwich because it was so salty. The portion size was good though. read more

This place is underrated! The minute you walk into Chook, you're greeted with the nicest host. We ordered the quarter sized rotisserie chicken with the piri piri sauce (Portuguese style sauce made with chili's), pulled chicken sliders, mashed potatoes, and mac & cheese. To wash it all down, we ordered a nice refreshing glass of lemonade and berry punch. The rotisserie chicken and pulled chicken sandwich were cooked to perfection and the sides of mac & cheese and mashed potatoes were savory. If your confused with which sauce to choose, I highly recommend the piri piri sauce. Could not give enough praise to the friendly staff, thank you for a great date night dinner! read more

Great fast casual place for tasty roasted chicken. Bright, warm, appealing space, excellent service. Nice casual neighborhood vibe. I would love to try their avocado chicken sandwich, but have only tried their roast chicken and sides. I favor the piri piri sauce, the macha is also pretty tasty. Lots of tempting sides options--Mac and cheese, roasted veg, apple carrot cabbage slaw, all quite good. Short but satisfactory list of imbibing options, with and without alcohol. Appreciated the inclusion of bundaberg ginger beer, as an extra nod to its Aussie heritage. Thumbs up! read more

Went to Chook for the first time this weekend! It was great. I loved the different options. You can go really healthy or treat yourself a little more. My husband and I shared the half chicken, mac and cheese and roasted veggies and everything was great. The chicken was so flavorful and juicy. For the quality the prices were pretty good as well. I liked the counter service, it was quick and the girl working was super helpful with my questions. Highly recommend checking this out if you're in the area for shopping or the Pearl Farmers Market! read more

Solid 3.5-4 stars, definitely worth trying. We ordered the broccoli salad, pineapple rolls (a less toxic King's Hawaiian) mac n' cheese and a whole chicken to go. The sides were all good if a bit underwhelming, but the chicken was awesome. I normally don't like chicken (so bland and boring, bleh) but this was juicy and flavorful, and the sauces make it enjoyable. I think next time I'll try one of the sandwiches. The service and ambience are also fantastic. A super friendly and helpful cashier helped us order, and let us know we could have free refills on our drinks while we wait (score!). I HIGHLY recommend the berry drink, it's nice and refreshing and doesn't leave a gross sugary residue in your mouth like most fruity drinks do. read more

This place is good. The chicken tastes really good and so is the service, price and vibe. As an Aussie living in Denver I need to give these guys some props, not because it's an Aussie ripoff...but because it's NOT an Aussie ripoff. There's nothing worse than a crass attempt at an "authentic" Aussie style restaurant, think Outback Steakhouse. These guys never said they were an "Australian" restaurant, a Red Rooster or a Chicken Treat so don't go there if that's what you're expecting....or you could pony up the $2k to fly home for the RR if you want it that bad. It's Aussie "inspired" with their own twist on it and to be honest I like that they did it that way. Yes, the wedges are not deep fried chips, that's correct (which is why I gave them 4 stars not 5 :))...but the owners are looking at that and will see what they can do. They've only been open for a week, give them a chance. I for one will be back and enjoy the fact that I can get real charcoal cooked chicken and some lovely wine to wash it down in a fun family friendly vibe...right here in Denver. read more

We split two family meals with a couple of salads, Mac and cheese, miso broccoli and potato wedges. Two meals was the right amount of food for 6 of us. Especially enjoyed the miso broccoli! read more

Came in from the burbs for a date night, covid times create trial and error. Long lines elsewhere at more familiar places, too hungry to wait. Lucked out that this was a block away, and we had the place to ourselves other than takeout. Felt pretty good about that factor and the food was awesome to boot. Wood fired rotisserie chicken went down fast but their beet salad, sauces and other sides took it over the hill. High value for the price, which incentivized taking seconds home. read more

I come for the vegetables. Chook transforms them into the main event, making this seldom meat eater miss nothing about the days of charcoal cooked meats. Love how they mix up the veggies throughout the seasons. read more
