2.5, edging down to 2 stars…read more Not the best food experience I've ever had. They're rated really high -- actually one of the highest-rated restaurants in Fort Collins -- and from a food perspective I don't really understand why. Sliders with sweet potato fries -- fine, nothing extraordinary. Potato éclairs -- . It was really just mashed potatoes with some topping on it. I honestly didn't even finish it. Mountain oysters -- huge letdown. They came out so overcooked they were basically crunchier than potato chips, with the batter crumbling off. I've never had them before, so I didn't get a good representation of how they're supposed to be -- these were just super-cooked batter. On the space: we ended up sitting in three different spots to eat. We went outside by the street first -- super loud, and people were smoking, so we headed back in. The open spot inside was right under the AC and about forty degrees, so we moved to the back area. The back was fine -- covered -- but pretty dirty, with mop buckets and clutter sitting around. The one drink I had was a good value since we were there at happy hour -- some kind of fruity whiskey drink. It was fine, but nothing I'd seek out again. I hate to give such a friendly place a bad review. It'd be a really great spot if you're a college student who wants some cheap bites and a drink -- but honestly it's just bar food, and the ceiling is probably a 4 on a really good day. I wouldn't get excited to head down there, and parking is a bit of a hassle too. Would recommend only if you're after very cheap eats in that area -- check them out for happy hour. But I would not return.

We were offered indoor or outdoor seating and we opted for outdoors on this balmy 80-degree evening. Wife N started with a mocktail: Summer Crush. Delicious and we didn't miss the normally included liquors in the spirited version. She ordered a make it yourself burger: just the bun, patty, some ketchup and mayo. Medium. Side of fries. Her way. Burger perfect medium. Fries were crispy, above average. I ordered the Mushroom Avocado burger, also medium. Burger was juicy, flavorful, and the tempura avocados were an interesting twist on the un-fried norm. First couple bites had some crisp but mostly the avocados got soggy halfway through. Not sold on the tempura frying but the sandwich on the whole was great. Got some local draft on the side. Well taken care of, food was great, will return.

The service was friendly and efficient -- no complaints at all about the staff. They were polite and welcoming. Unfortunately, the food just didn't measure up. The brisket sandwich was honestly horrible. The meat didn't resemble sliced brisket at all -- it was more like ground-up meat mixed with fat. It lacked texture, structure, and that classic smoked brisket quality you expect from a place calling itself "Serious" Texas BBQ. The potato salad was bland and forgettable, with very little flavor. If you're looking for good barbecue in Fort Collins or Northern Colorado, I'd recommend choosing somewhere else. This location is nowhere near as good as the Durango stores.

We needed food and we needed a lot of it, so we headed to our favorite barbecue joint in town. Everyone at the counter was masked and gloved up, which is always a good start! I ordered the three meat platter with smoked chicken wings, brisket and pulled pork, selecting potato salad and baked beans as the sides. After a short wait, the huge tray was set down in front of us and we dug in. The smoked wings are some of the best wings I've had in Fort Collins! Tender, crispy and piping hot! The brisket was a little tougher than I had hoped, but still full of flavor. The pulled pork stole the show, however - juicy and falling apart on the plate with just the right amount of sizzling fat, drizzled with a sweet and slightly tangy barbecue sauce. Originally we had thought that we'd have leftovers to reheat at home but, as you can see, that didn't happen. We demolished the plates and ripped through the perfectly prepared potato salad and maple-sweet baked beans, then debated getting dessert. The debate was short and we rounded out the meal with a container of banana pudding that had notes of cinnamon and vanilla, topped traditionally with a Nilla wafer. Once the meat sweats stop (SO. MUCH. MEAT), we'll be heading back for another mountainous platter!

I love this place! The chicken is good, the vibe is casual, and the staff is friendly :)…read more This place stays busy, but I've always been seated right away so it's not overly packed. After placing your order, they give you a number to place on your table and the staff brings your food to your table. From there, you're basically on your own. Drinks, napkins, ketchup, silverware, and to-go containers are easily accessible close to the bar area so you can help yourself. This simplifies the experience so you can get whatever you need without staff assistance. You'll also leave your dishes and trash by the bin on your way out. My favorite spice level is the Nashville hot. It has the perfect seasoning without being overly salty. My go-to order is the wedgie garden veggie salad that includes mixed greens with bacon, blue cheese, tomato, snap peas, red onion. Ranch, Honey Mustard, Red Wine Vin, or Lemon Vin. You can choose crispy tenders, thigh, grilled breast, or tempeh with your wedgie salad. I choose the tenders and the salad comes with two of them. I also order a side of the fries. I always leave with leftovers and feel so full at the end of my meal. Music City Hot Chicken is one of my top picks to get good chicken in FoCo. I highly recommend!
