"You don’t go to the Denver Biscuit Co. for something light. No, you head there when you’re craving a softball-sized biscuit loaded with buttermilk fried chicken, bacon, and cheese, all smothered in sausage gravy. Besides the sandwiches, they’ve got biscuit French toast, biscuit pot pie, biscuit cinnamon rolls, and, well, you get the picture—there are a lot of biscuits. The wild west-meets-mid-century mod vibe is so homey that you might want to stay all day and night. And luckily, you can. The spot turns into a New York-style slice joint called Fat Sully’s for lunch and dinner, and drafts are always available at Atomic Cowboy, the dive bar that kick-started it all." - allyson reedy
"Anything with fried chicken is a sure bet at this homegrown chain — and it’s even better alongside an oatmeal stout–infused bloody mary or breakfast sangria. Waits are inevitable, but the Instagram shots of towering biscuit sandwiches make the time well spent." - Ruth Tobias
"Like Snooze, the Denver Biscuit Company started as one little daytime operation on East Colfax before expanding across the city on the strength of its namesake item. Now also in Baker, Berkeley, Aurora, Centennial, and Golden, it’s never not packed to the rafters with people clamoring for biscuit sandwiches — above all the Franklin, featuring fried chicken, bacon, cheddar, and sausage or mushroom gravy plus an optional fried egg. Many have tried but few have managed to replicate its success." - Ruth Tobias
"The newest of four enormously popular Denver-area locations, this may be a dedicated daytime spot, but its biscuit sandwiches and platters are so enormous and filling there’s generally more than enough left over for later. Breakfast for dinner, anyone?" - Eater Staff
"Hangover cures and Instagram likes are both guaranteed by the gigantic concoctions at this multi-branch biscuit kitchen, which features buttermilk-fried chicken on seven of its 11 sandwiches. With bacon, cheddar, sausage or mushroom gravy, and an optional egg, the Franklin’s perhaps the fan favorite, but the Cordon Bleu with ham and honey butter’s no slouch either." - Eater Staff
