Popeyes #12656 - Brighton, CO


2032 Prairie Center Pkwy

Visited June 14, 2022

Great service but cooked in advance chicken was  below par for Popeyes.

Jim 'N Nicks Bar-B-Q - Denver, CO

CLOSED August 30(?), 2021

8264 E. 49th Ave

Established 2008

Visited September 6, 2018

I walked in with the thought that Jim's is a counter service maybe fast casual small to medium sized establishment. Instead, it's sized about the same as Appleby's.

The waiter tells me they do Alabama style BBQ.  I've had Gibson's in Georgia so my mind automatic synchronizes with that style, right or wrong.

Church's Chicken #790 - Denver, CO


3401 Colorado Blvd

Visited September 6, 2018

This is my first time at a Church's Chicken, and I am eager to compare their chicken against KFC and Popeyes.

Heidi's Brooklyn Deli - Denver, CO

CLOSED Aug (?) 2019

3500 E Colfax Ave

Visited August 8, 2017

Cajun Turkey Avocado is their Number 1 best seller. I ordered it in part because of that but mostly because I was looking for a healthier option. Health aside, I would have chosen the Bronx Bomber.

This is the first location as they proudly advertise but it's noted as Store #17 on the business card.  What am I missing? Does anyone know the story behind the number?

Rubio's Coastal Grill #311 - Denver, CO

CLOSED June 1, 2020

Rubio's touts itself as a healthier alternative in the fast casual food scene. There offerings are healthier in escaping the fat trap but lack of fat has to be made up by increased sodium. That's my belief.

Big Smoke Burger #1014 - Glendale, CO

 CLOSED February 14, 2018

Big Smoke Burger has the look and feel of a chain but I wasn't sure until I researched after eating here.  I found the poutine offering unusual but that was all explained when the website states Big Smoke is a Canadian based chain.  And so far, Denver has the only US based location.  That explains the unfamiliarity.

Tokyo Joe's - Glendale, CO

CLOSED October 31(?), 2022

1000 South Colorado Blvd Ste B-102

Visited November 29, 2016

Is it surprising or not that the staff is hipster yet all seemed willing to willingly accommodate the customers?

The Kitchen Next Door - Glendale. CO

CLOSED August (?) 2019

658 S Colorado Blvd

Another of the restaurants to check off the list in this food strip.  I wasn't expecting much in terms of  taste.
