The service was rocky at first, I was overlooked 4 different times before being told someone would help you soon. After that the waitress was great and the food was delicious, especially the roasted potatoes. The chicken on the pancakes is not so great, but the eggs made up for it. Overall, it was a decent experience that will leave you feeling satisfied.

My husband and I ate here yesterday morning and we had a great experience! We are Denver locals and have only been here one other time and we definitely noticed an increase in quality of food and service. We both ordered drinks, 2 appetizers and 2 entrees and it was all under $100 👍🏽 Our server Bailey was great and we will definitely be back again soon!

Excellent spot for brunch, the sweet and spicy waffles with chicken were amazing. The waffles are perfectly crispy on the outside yet fluffy on the inside. The chicken is crunchy and juicy too. The “queen” bloody Mary’s are huge and had us feeling great. The inside is cute and although it was busy we had great service and our food came out fast. I definitely would recommend and im looking forward to coming back to try other things on the menu.

Man the food was top notch. Ask for the secret menu banana creme brulee chicken and waffles you won't regret it. Wish we lived closer so we could go more often. We will be back our next visit I definitely did not need the syrup for this dish!

The drumstick flight was amazing, cooked to order! Got the okra and biscuits for a starter, they were delicious! Friend got the meatloaf and I got the chicken tenders. The sides were fries (normal fries) Mac and cheese (absolutely delicious with a breading on it) and the roasted potatoes (so good!!) and sweet tea was on point! Our server was awesome and personable and was on top of the drink refills! (so sorry can't remember his name but he talked about watches with my friend)

Lovely place!! Staff were friendly and welcoming. Food was delicious!! I really wanted to try the fried chicken but opted for the shrimp n’ grits and it did not disappoint!! Excellent flavor! The iced vanilla cold brew w blueberry cold foam was good.

We went about 5pm for dinner. Made reservations but it was not very crowded. We were seated quickly and our server came to greet us. We ordered right away because we looked at the menu before. She took a long time to bring out water/ drinks. It took about 35 minutes for food to come out, and this when they were not crowded. The speed of service needs something to be desired. The food itself was good and quantity was good too. The hot sandwich was good, fries were crispy and seemed fresh. The tenders were a bit dried out and seemed refried. The grilled cheese and tomato soup tasted good but the cheese seemed like cheap sliced kind. We also ordered the dessert mini duo. I’m not sure what was going on but that was the worst part of our meal, the mudpie crust was frozen solid and even with a knife we couldn’t break it. We left it in the bowl un eaten. The banana pudding didn’t seem set and was runny like milk. We literally ate bana flavored milk. The Overall it wasn’t too bad. Will I be back… probably not.

Located conveniently near the Union Station this restaurant had a lot to offer. My friend and I went in for brunch. The restaurant was quite busy but we were able to get a spot at the communal table right away. It's a gorgeous restaurant with a lot of space and beautifully decorated. For drinks, my friend got the Iced Dirty Chai and based on our server's recommendation, I got the Shaken Iced Matcha Latte. The Dirty Chai was delicious (a little on the sweeter side but still good). At first they gave me the wrong drink (coffee instead of the matcha) but when they brought me the right drink (Matcha Latte) I wished I had kept the coffee. The matcha drink was awful. Purely sugar and it kinda tasted like a soda? If you love matcha I would advise against this item. As for food, I ordered the Sriracha Honey Chicken & Waffles while my friend got the vegetarian version which was chicken replaced with Cauliflower. I loved my Sriracha Honey, it was a perfect balance of sweet and spicy, the chicken was tender and the waffles were crispy on the outside. My friend thought her's was mid and could've used a bit more seasoning. This meal was a bit on the heavier side for me, 1,000 cals is a lot for brunch.

Yum! Cute place right next to Union Station. Parking is a bit difficult to find a spot, but TH makes up for it. Adorable decor abounds TH. They went with the bee theme and committed, as one should. Brunch looked tasty but I went for a lunch menu item of grilled cheese and tomato soup- yum! The grilled cheese was well prepared with a couple of cheese thrown in the mix, all grilled to perfection on Texas toast. The tomato soup was divine. It was clearly homemade with added spices and bits of fresh tomatoes. In staying with the tomato theme, I also had a Bloody Mary- spiced up. It was very tasty. Our server was friendly. They are known for their homemade biscuits. I sampled one from my friend's order and it was tasty for sure. Will definitely go back to try some more deliciousness.

Where do I begin. Our first time eating there was a very good experience. My husband and I both ordered chicken and waffles and while we waited, we ordered the biscuits with blueberry jam. He ordered the Bloody Mary and I had a cup of hot tea. The biscuits were very good and the jam was delicious, made in-house. I love that the money for the biscuits goes to an employee fund. I really hope that's true. The Bloody Mary was out of this world! The pickled veges in it were delicious. It was so large, my husband couldn't finish it. When our chicken and waffles arrived, we chowed down on them. Although the dish is very good, I will say that the chicken had a little too much batter and not enough meat esp for its price point. However, when I mentioned it to the manager, he brought another piece. I believe they serve strips and not a breast or thighs. The combination of the spicy Bloody Mary and spicy chicken was a little too much for my husband's pallet, though he enjoyed both. The jam is available for purchase so I took a jar home. On our next visit, I ordered the fried chicken and potatoes and my husband ordered the tomato soup and pancakes and bacon. Both were okay although I would not write home about them or get it again. I didn't like the texture of the pancake and the fried chicken was more suitable for another pallet. He said the tomato soup was absolutely delicious! The manager remembered us from our first visit and he stopped by and chatted. We ended up getting a delicious dessert to go on the house. It was very good too. The restaurant is very nice and they have great artwork hanging by a local artist. You need a key to get into the bathrooms. I love a bathroom that has a foot door opener esp when hand towels are not provided like in this one. However, the foot door opener is pointless bc you have to turn the door knob to get out, I assume due to the lock. Defeats the whole purpose. Overall, we enjoyed our meals and the service that we received.

Really trendy cute spot! Service was great! They had some short staffing issues and delays but our server was so communicative and did a great job. Hubby loved the chicken and waffles and my breakfast plate was good. Something did hurt my stomach - think it was the cross contamination from fryer (potatoes) or the oil they used (many allergies) but that was the choice I made. Everything was yummy, location was great!

Lots of southern food and creative drinks to offer and Tupelo Honey for brunch. They currently have a $3 martini lunch (limit 3, with vodka or gin, must order food). My slightly dirty vodka martini was just right. I ordered the Shrimp Po Boy off the Mile-High menu. It was lightly battered shrimp in a hoagie roll with shredded lettuce, tomato, and a remoulade sauce. It came with a choice of side, and I picked the crispy fries which were as advertised. My only issue with my food was that one of the shrimp was not deveined. I am sure it was just an oversight since the rest of the shrimp were fine. Our server was attentive and made sure we always had refills on beverages. The decor is a cute nod to the south with fun terms relating to biscuits, bees, chickens, and grits.

This place knows brunch!! Tucked right behind Union Square, this southern style restaurant gets two thumbs up! If you want a great vibe, beautiful atmosphere, excellent, friendly servers, this is for you! Hubby and I ordered the cornbread sharable, chicken with biscuits and gravy. Sweet potato pancakes with chicken. We got here right before the surge of people and now we are moving on to the open marketplace. Enjoy the pics..

It's a delicious and casual southern kitchen! Not like classic true sour there, it's modernized version. Parker was our waiter and he was very friendly, even though we walked in 45 minutes before closing. At that time, there were just a handful of tables seated. Turmeric Ginger Tonic beverage was sold out, and it's very popular so consider it if you come at an earlier time! I had to try their famous 20-year old banana pudding recipe and wow, I was impressed. If you're a fan of the dessert, it's a must-try. On a side note, the water tasted great haha, not your average tap water. Sweet with no bitter after taste. I ordered sweet and spicy chicken and waffles, and it was out in less than 10 minutes. Fast! It was delicious too and decently portioned. It tasted like Korean fried chicken haha. Food summary: Banana pudding blew me away, and the chicken & waffles were delicious but nothing super special. Overall, I would come back due to the reliable service and tasty food!

Inviting kitchen /bar with a cozy environment. Casual but elevated. The food is delicious and well-presented. I felt like comfort food on this COLD DAY, so I ordered the Classic Chicken and waffles with a sprinkle of honey dust. I had the Tupelo Cold Brew with honey I ordered the Banana Pudding, and everything was as excellent as I remembered! John was fantastic. He anticipated what I would need! Tupelo Honey Southern Kitchen and Bar is a MUST when here in Denver!

I love biscuits, especially those from Tupelo Honey so when I saw there was one near my hotel, I knew where I was eating breakfast! It was a Sunday morning before 11 and they were already busy. I grabbed a seat at the bar and the harried barman took my order of coffee and chicken and biscuits. The coffee was good (although I would have loved a refill) and the chicken and biscuits was great. It also came with some crispy bacon which was exceptional. Since I wasn't going to eat until much later that night, I had a small banana pudding which was also incredible. I'm a fan of Tupelo Honey.

This is one of my favorite places and I went to a location in the Milwaukee area and the group I was with loved it too. My recent visit to the downtown Denver location proved that there is great consistency in locations and that it will be a go to as long as they keep this up! This visit I tried the Espresso martini and absolutely loved it. I also had the collard greens. Me and my guests were pleased as always! I would have tried the sweet potato pancake if I didn't need to get in a tight dress in a month lol! The service is always swift and the food hot.

Really delicious fried chicken. The fried green tomatoes were also excellent. Their ginger beverage was great, cause it had a good ginger kick to it. Really felt like it would help you fight a cold. Nice large interior with a bar.

The pumpkin soup was very good, although I didn't like the popcorn in it. The chicken straps with bee dust were good, although the dipping sauces were too spicy. The fried green tomatoes had a nice crunchy breading but no flavor. The best part was the grits with goat cheese and red pepper sauce that came under the fried green tomatoes, yum. The bisquit was very good. The grain bowl and the avocado melt (sandwhich) both looked great. The service wasn't the best. She forgot items, never came back and checked on us and the way she ran the cards for payment was strange. The space was very cozy with cute ornaments hanging from the rafters. Overall not a bad experience, I would try it again.

Found this place online for lunch when I was looking for good shrimp and grits. Unfortunately the grits here contain goat cheese and they are unable to make any more grits outside of the ones they have made for the day. We ordered two orders of the sweet potato pancake with scrambled eggs and bacon. One order was significantly smaller than the other. The pancakes were really thin. The food took quite a while to arrive, and when it finally did, the eggs were cold and extremely dry. The pancake had a slight burnt taste and wasn't very enjoyable. The butter and nuts were good, but that was about it. The server thought we would get egg and a meat but it was a mistake she admitted which was okay. The service was just slow. The restaurant itself was just okay, one side of the booth we sat at had oily seats. Overall, the place and the food felt like they were geared more toward tourists than regular diners.

I've wanted to visit a Tupelo Honey since I visited Charlotte in 2020 and ran out of time. I was excited when I saw there was a location in Denver as Southern food is one of my favorite cuisines. There was no doubt in my mind that I was going to order the honey-dusted fried chicken with white meat with a side of the baked mac and cheese and banana pudding for dessert. While the chicken was good, it didn't top the list of the best ever. You can never go wrong with banana pudding though!

This place felt like your southern grandmothers dining room, it was a welcomed break from the hustle and bustle of downtown Denver today. The happy hour menu was full of great options, including meatloaf that I may just have to go back tomorrow and try. Today I went for the classic chicken and waffles with a side of mac & cheese. The waffles were crispy, but soft on the inside, the perfect texture. The chicken had just threaded amount of breading to crispiness and the gooey baked mac & cheese was the perfect finishing touch. The service was friendly and not rushed. They did have a great bar menu, but I opted for a Diet Coke with a lemon and it was well balanced, like a fountain soda should be. The meal in total was about $30 and well portioned. The setting was well lit and inviting cozy. I loved the plates, they look just like a set every grandmother has. This was the reprieve I needed today.

Very good! We went for lunch and split the Sriracha honey chicken and waffles, it was delicious and super filling! The quality of the chicken breast was a little lacking, but the breading was nice and crispy, the waffle was pretty perfect, and the sauce was amazing. We also got an Irish Coffee, we felt it wasn't really worth $15 though, not very strong and not too tasty, just meh. The place was super cute! Our waiter was Tamarick and he was great! Super sweet, friendly, quick, and attentive!

We were in an Uber ride heading to dinner when we saw a police escorted tour bus going the same direction. Ah, Lakers came to play the Nuggets tonight! This restaurant was near the Ball Arena in Denver. Even without a reservation, we were able to get seated pretty quick! We started with drinks and everyone enjoyed what they ordered. I had a silky smooth espresso martini that was pretty good :) I love me some Chicken and Waffles and they have two versions here....main difference is regular waffles vs. Mac and cheese waffles. I went with the regular waffles which were good. With honey on the side, the fried chicken had a nice kick to it. Tender on the inside and crisp on the outside. To balance my meal, I added a side of bacon collards. Perfectly cooked and not over done, this dish was nice and smokey. See Mom, I eat my veggies :) Dining area was clean, service was friendly, food was pretty good! Thank you for the 10% off with Yelp check in :) Oh and congrats Nuggets!!

So, I'm updating my review. And happily to say that the service improved greatly. On my day to fly back to MD, my guy and I decided to come back. We had amazing service from Lanker. I skipped on the waffles as I really wanted to chow down on chicken. Their menus are different at lunchtime, so it's not that extensive as during the weekend. Our waiter offered us biscuits, which I thought were complimentary but wasn't. But they were good! I got fried chicken and it was good! My guy got shrimp n grits. He was so kind enough to share. Now it was good , I really wanted to swap meals because it was good. I managed to get a lion portion. Our meals were good and I had the itis and needed a nap. Service and food were much better. Thank you to the manager, Anna, who made sure we had an awesome time here. Definitely will come back and get my own shrimp and grits.

I specifically set out to eat here and was not disappointed. I sat at the bar and the staff were attentive without pushy conversation. The bar area was clean as well as the rest of the restaurant. The appetizers I got were the fried green tomatoes with grits and a red pepper sauce which was delicious and I got the crispy Brussels sprouts which had cheese and a chickpea based pepper sauce I thought was equally delicious. For my entree I got the Grilled Salmon & Creamy Quinoa with grilled yellow and red peppers. It was good but was overcooked and should have come with lemon and more seasoning. Overall, it was good and I'd go back but not pressed to go over a new place. Still I'd recommend the appetizers and drinks.

Breathtaking! I am so glad we came by here while in Denver! We walked from our hotel downtown for a scenic route and to get some steps in and we were not disappointed! The fried green tomato on top of a bed of grits was chef kiss! Both types of chicken were delicious! So you can't go wrong but if I had to pick, I would say the classic buttermilk chicken with the waffle. The waffle was fluffy and cooked to perfection! The eggs fried soft with American cheese - was good along with the bacon thick cut! Must try while in town! 5 Stars and great experience!

My daughter and I stepped in for a late lunch and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I had the Southern Chicken BLT with a side of Brussel sprouts. The fried chicken and the perfect amount of moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. The Brussels were also cooked to perfection. I'll definitely be back.

I came for lunch and did one of their half sandwich and soup lunch specials. It was a better route comparatively in my mind to do the special given the prices. Food is fine enough but I wasn't particularly impressed. There's nothing special to the offerings and, like I said, I just don't think it's worth the price given other options out there in Denver. I also found the service kind of meh. Like not that he was a bad server, just not particularly around, and pretty reflective of the overall experience of just a mediocre, shrug your shoulders time.

OMG! this was quite a treat. didn't know what to expect but the food was awesome. i got the purple people eater as my drink and glad i did. for appetizer i got the fried green tomatoes. the grits underneath were amazing by themselves. my entree was the shrimp po boy with collards. that plate needs a 'moment of silence' it was so good! my guy got meatloaf with mixed green salad. he said it was tasty.. we ended the meal with the nana pudding.. Lawd have mercy. it was JUST enough. I will most definitely be returning here or trying to find a location near me bc this place was a HIT. our host was pleasant and our server was such a sweetheart. the decor was cute and artsy and the view was actually nice too. it faced a train station but since people watching is my thing that was cool.

Benedicts are my jam these days and I have no idea why either. Savory taste for days with scrumptious hollandaise sauce and whatever protein they want to put on there. On our visit the choice of protein was a fried chicken aka the buttermilk fried chicken benedict. Food came out hot and tasty. On the other hand waitstaff could have been a bit more attentive but our waitress was friendly and offered suggestions. She just seemed to have a ton of tables in her section. Regardless this is a place to try out! Located within a stone's throw from Union Station Tupelo Honey will delight your senses upon arrival till the last bite on your dish!

The honey blueberry butter with the biscuits were delicious, but thw biscuits were a little dry. The food was good, however some of the items could have used a little more seasoning - like the fries. I really liked the pumpkin bisque the best part of the visit? The drinks! Peach dont kill my vibe was amazing!!

This place is right by Union Station and serves up Southern eats! I would say that the overall ambiance and the interior design of the restaurant is very cozy - making it great for a group of friends to get a bite to eat! However, I feel like I was a bit disappointed with the taste of the food itself. Everything looked very appetizing was a bit too salty or a bit bland. I think it's a nice place to try if you are in the area (parking will be a bit tough here since it's in the middle of downtown).

In reality, 4/5. I ordered Asheville hot with Mac and cheese waffles and a cold brew. The food is alright and nothing to run home about but service was good and food came out quickly. I also didn't mind the TV playing Friends. I don't have much to say about the place but I wouldn't necessarily recommend the chicken and waffles because the portion was small and the Mac and cheese didn't do anything for the meal. When I ordered the cold brew, the waiter asked if I wanted sweetener and/or cream. I ended up getting honey syrup and oat milk. It was cool that I got to pick different sweeteners but not cool that I had to pay $1 for 2 oz of oat milk. I checked in on Yelp and they did honor a 10% discount to my bill. Would go out of my way to come back? No. Would I stop anyone from coming here to eat? No. So feel free to head over and try for yourself.

Stopped in yesterday for Brunch with the family. This spot is behind Union station. Street parking is pretty tough but there are some garages in the area to make it easier. Although I think it would be an easy bike ride on a warm day. We had reservations and greeted and sat immediately. The service was very friendly but a bit slow at times with our water and coffee refills. It was a Sunday though and pretty busy, so I give them grace for that. We had the biscuits for a cause to start. They were crumbly and light and served with a whipped butter and blueberry compote of sorts. So darn yummy. It was hard to be judicious and not overeat waiting for our mains. Two of us ordered the shrimp and grits and the other had the breakfast platter. The shrimp and grits were a great portion, not too large or small considering how rich it is. My shrimp was perfectly cooked and the creole sauce was rich and deep. My son liked his platter and cleaned his plate. I think I need to come back and try the fried chicken!

I dined here last night with my friend. It was her birthday so this was an ideal venue for a nice birthday dinner. My friend immediately liked the ambiance of the restaurant. She also liked the "Butter My Butt and Call Me a Biscuit" sign. I liked that too! I also like that they have a small gift shop area to purchase glassware and other Tupelo Honey items. We sat near the front entrance with nice views of the downtown in the background. I like the location of the restaurant. However, it's not easily accessible. Street parking or public parking garage only. I had to park a ways down from the restaurant and it was only about 4:30 PM. Our waitress was polite but not personable. Service was slow in the beginning. My suggestion to management is to pick up the pace and don't let the patrons wait too long to put orders in. We waited a long time to put our appetizer order in and longer to put orders in for our entrees. For appetizers, we ordered the Sausage & Beer Gumbo along with Biscuits with Butter and Jam. Both are DELISH!! We actually ended up ordering TWO orders of the Biscuits with Butter and Jam. It was that good! For my entree I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken with Mac & Cheese Waffles along with a side of Brussel Sprouts. I very much enjoyed this meal. I would probably order a different side next time (additional time). They have lovely sides! My friend ordered the Bistro Steak with Broccoli and Potatoes. She very much enjoyed her meal! I sampled a bite of the steak and felt that it we as really good. Not overcooked and seasoned well. I passed on dessert. They do have some nice desert options. My only suggestion is to go here on an empty stomach and eat well. They have a lot of great menu options. My friend was so impressed that she would like to come back here again. ME TOO! This was my second visit and I'm so looking forward to another one! If you haven't been here yet, check them out! Hope you have a very pleasant experience!

A great brunch place located in downtown Denver and right next to Union Station! Their brunch dishes were delicious! I loved the flavor of the hot sauce and the grits. The margaritas were super strong so it made for a great time. I enjoyed the Southern flare on the dishes and really liked their biscuit. Make sure to make a reservation before coming here!

We asked the desk clerk for his favorite restaurant and he didn't disappoint. He said the food is from scratch and is fabulous. And it is! They were gracious about letting me order the quinoa without the bell peppers and let me get pickled onions instead. All of it was divine. The pickled onions were the best I've ever had. The salmon was cooked to perfection. The chicken tortilla soup was outstanding.

I. Love. This. Place! Every single thing I had was delicious and presented well. HIGHLY recommend the Brussels as a side to whatever you get. They're worth it. (Although I wasn't thrilled about the extra charge for ranch when the menu said "Brussels and ranch", it was still good). Happy hour starts at 3pm, so the sangria and fries green tomatoes were must haves. Small, single person portions which was just fine for me, but note that you won't be able to share any of the happy hour apps if that's your thing (but they're honestly cheap enough to just order a bunch anyway, $5ish) I wanna come here over and over to try it all. Thanks for such a great food happy hour and fun/classy atmosphere.

Sometimes second chances aren't bad! My first time in this location was a very disappointing experience, I must say this second time was a complete 180. The customer service was a little better, there wasn't much wrong the first time I just think my server this time was more customer oriented. I started off with the Peach and Pineapple mimosa, and also ordered the Smothered Chicken and Biscuit subbing the Sriracha Chicken and a side of scrambled eggs. The herby garnishment added a nice refreshing taste to the dish, the chicken was tender, juicy, spicy yet sweet, the eggs were good, however the bacon was a bit thin. My mimosa was nice and bubbly with fruity flavors; although I couldn't particularly pick out the peach or pineapple it was yummy. I am so relieved that the food was much better this time than the last time I came in!

I've eaten at this chain in N. Carolina and it's as delicious in Denver! The service was a bit slow but that was alright for a lazy Sunday. I got the siracha Chicken and waffles and the spicy wasn't overpowering and the syrup is such a great sweet balance.

Tonight was an underwhelming experience. We had reservations for 4:30. The restaurant was not very busy. It took close to half an hour for our server to come get our order. We started with the biscuits, hard and a little tasteless, butter was flat and the jelly was good not great 4.1/10. Next we got the fried green tomatoes, sauce and grits were alright but the tomatoes themselves left a little to be desired 5.5/10. I had a house salad, felt and little plain however I enjoyed the dressing 5.8/10. For entrees we had the chicken and waffles, over cooked dry chicken with mild seasoning 4.7/10. The waffles were alright but nothing special about them 4.5/10. I would not come back and order this dish again. For my entree I tired to mahi mahi. The fish was left in the window too long and the fish was dry and overcooked 4.5/10. The sauce that was on the fish was the only redeemable part of the dish. For $27 for a small piece of fish you could find a better piece at a lot of other places. The collared green with bacon side was pretty good 6/10 and the grits were the saving grace 8/10. To wrap the meal up we ended with the banana pudding. This was the one stand out dish that we had tonight 9.5/10. The server was nice enough to realize that our meal took a long time and she was gracious enough to give us a $20 discount. That went a long way in my book, as I may not have come back here. This was my second time here and was a let down. Maybe they were having an off night. Really the meal wasn't anywhere close to the experience I had the year prior. I would be willing to give them another chance, but not rushing back for anything except the banana pudding.

It was ok, maybe overhyped. Ambiance is great, cool location, bright open feel, but everyone coming in w/carryon cases and such, made it feel a little touristy. The food was good, not great, we ordered the signature fried chicken, 1/2 bird and shared a quinoa salad. Chicken was a little dry and could use more seasoning. The quinoa salad broccolini was a little overdone. My water wasn't refilled. The biscuit was solid and a little salty. Nothing was bad, I think I've had better in all categories from food to service. There are so many more epic food choices in and around Denver at a lesser price. I'd choose to go somewhere else next time.

For a chain, this place is pretty good. Tried the Mountain Morning Bowl - two sunny-side up eggs, rosemary & parmesan crispy potatoes, cheddar cheese, chopped apple cider bacon, green tomato salsa, red pepper sauce, stone-ground goat cheese grits with fried chicken. Overall, a good dish & very filling. Loved the combo of all the flavors. The chicken was ok, but not as juicy as I was hoping. I would also recommend ordering any additional sauces (get extra pepper sauce) up front. Otherwise, you'll be done eating before you get them. Excellent tea as well. Would like to try their shrimp poboy next time.

Came here at around noon on a Wednesday. Was able to be seated right away and ordered the Peach Don't Kill My Vibe cocktail that was delicious. I ordered the original honey dusted fried chicken (dark meat) with mac and cheese. It came with a handful of sliced pickles. The fried chicken was perfectly crunchy and super flavorful! You can tell it was brined, to the point of being a little too salty, but the honey dusting mellowed it out a bit. It came with two drumsticks and one thigh. Everything was perfectly cooked and the meat was nice and juicy. The Mac and cheese was good as well, nice and cheesy with some breadcrumbs on top. A nice meal before getting on the light rail to the airport. It came out to $37 including a 20% tip.

Omg. We booked this place a month ago for a team dinner. Super excited to try it because we heard so many great things. To leave with half of my group disappointed with their food choices. I think it didn't help that we didn't get seated for 30 minutes. I will say the wait staff and hostess were exceptionally friendly. My coworkers po boy sandwich had overly toasted bread and others said their meals were a bit dry. I did like my smothered chicken thighs. I think what added insult to injury was one of my coworkers ordered dessert to take back to the hotel to discover they gave him the wrong dessert. Before you say maybe they mixed your orders, he was the only one in our party to order dessert.

I've been 2 different times when visiting Denver! Love the live atmosphere. The first time I was here I loved the food, the second time wasn't as great. Service was decent but the server forgot my side of sausage and said the kitchen forgot it but I watched her walk to the stand and go put it in. So wasn't a fan of that.

Sunday was my first time back in a couple years, and my memory is likely failing me (because I don't remember that first meal, honestly) but I feel like they've stepped things up. I got the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Benedict and subbed the potatoes for their goat cheese grits. Can we have a little commotion for the grits? Incredible. Cheesy, creamy, no further notes. I would come just for a whole bowl of those. The Benedict was also great and flavorful. The biscuits are good though maybe not my favorite of the ones I've tried over time. The chicken was great and plenty tender and juicy. Our dining experience was lovely on the Sunday snowy morning. We had a reservation so didn't have to worry about waiting long, but it wasn't overly crowded or busy. Nice, relaxed brunch setting. Prices feel reasonable and on par with most other brunch places (but let's not talk about how attacked I feel that they list the calories for all the dishes... I know what I signed up for, let's not talk about it). Happy to recommend this place.

Went here for a work lunch and was a little disappointed. I've heard good things about this restaurant. All the food we got was mediocre, not bad, nothing outstanding in my opinion. I had the Grilled Chicken BLT, as well as the biscuits. The biscuits were good. The grilled chicken BLT's bacon was burnt. The chicken was cooked and seasoned well. My side caesar salad was the best part of the meal. The staff were wonderful and very attentive. There is a good amount of seating indoors. You will need to park in a garage nearby. There isn't a dedicated parking lot.

We came here for brunch on Sunday late afternoon and got the agave picante which came with a block of ice and citrus got real, was very refreshing. I got the Asheville's hot chicken and wafffles, the fried chicken was tasty but I wished there was more mac and cheese in the waffles. Husband got the divine swine benny which was also good, a bit dry. Service was very good and this is a great brunch spot right next to union station. I wish parking was easier.
