The Blazing Chicken Shack II

This place looks quite different from when the forest opened. Good environment in the dining room. They did have someone at the front checking online or door dash orders. They had it all under control even calling door dash after an order sat for a time without being picked up. Family establishment, family vibes.

Came in to visit from Vegas. Park Hill was where I grew up. Knew about this place when it first opened awhile back. My first stop off the plane. Have to admit food was outstanding!! Everything was hot!! Props to the cook and the owner!! A major staple to the area!! Will definitely be back!!

Food was excellent. Service knocks overall rating down. I brought a restaurant owner as my guest, as I had an excellent previous visit which was 5/5. We were the only table, coming in for the highly recommended oxtail dinner, which we ordered. We had a drink, waiting for our dinner. A couple of menu items caught our eye. We ordered them around 5 minutes within our original order. Our server was annoyed and rude. In an empty restaurant at the time, I would think appreciation for more businesses, not being annoyed. It's not like she was slammed, taking care of a bunch of tables. I had others I was going to bring, but poor service to friends won't be tolerated.

Out-freaking-standing! Can't remember when I had a meal this good. Fried chicken - cooked to order and best I've had. Red beans and rice - who knew they were that good. Gumbo - hot and full of shrimp, sausage, and chicken. Even the cornbread was outstanding with a little bite with every spoonful of beans or gumbo. Pretty damn good music too. I will 100% be back.Like I said earlier, the fried foods are cooked to order and it takes awhile to fry chicken. They do a lot of take out business too, so even if the place is relatively empty, you're probably not at the head of the line. If you don't want to wait for freshly cooked food, you should probably go to KFC with all the other bums.

If you did not live in the neighborhood, read about or was told about, I am confident you would drive by. But tucked inside the rundown, barred strip mall is a soul food hidden gem.The posted hours are a mere suggestion and the service is spotty. I think the owners maintain that as part of their charm. The food is solid. I have had better fried chicken, collard greens along with Mac'n cheese, but I licked my plate. The corn bread was tasty and the star by far is the Carmel cake. I came straight home and looked up a recipe.Would I go back? Sure

Please take my review with a grain of salt as I don't often eat traditionally southern/comfort food but this is in my new neighborhood and seems popular. Pros: Nice staff.The chicken was good.Cons: They play the music SO LOUD in here like its a club or something. I waited 35 minutes for wings and fries,insane. The exterior is a little sketchy with cages on the doors and windows. While the chicken was good, I thought everything was quite plain. Plain green beans, unseasoned fries, interesting cut of chicken with sauce. Just not my type of place but they seem to really be popular so you should absolutely give it a try.

A year later my sister and I came to the place and ordered lunch. She ordered the shrimp dinnerWith her sides of okra, and red beans, and rice. My sister said the red beans rice was done to perfection. She loved it. I got the catfish dinner with sides of collar, greens and yams and it was very good. It was worth the wait. The food came out hot and it was awesome. We both ordered peach cobbler and my sister gobbled it up.(she was hungry lol). We will return to order again it's worth it . It was a nice inside and it was peaceful and you got to take your time eating. There was no rush. The waitresses were awesome.

Went here last Saturday, 7/22. They were quite busy and only have a small kitchen. I ordered the Fried Chicken dinner, 1/2 a Chicken, Breast, Wing, Leg and thigh and you get two sides. I ordered the Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans, and you get a piece of Cornbread with it. Extra sides were $5.00 each, except the Mac and Cheese, which was $6. The Mashed Potatoes were rather salty, but the green beans were excellent. I also got some Mac and Cheese and it was a good size and was very Cheesey and delicious. The chicken was moist and fried just right. Very lovely ladies that work there and they were very helpful. I would highly recommend eating there.

A Park Hill staple, The Blazing Chicken Shack II, is a great soul food eatery. Come hungry and leave happy and full. We had the 12 wings and the 3 wing meal and the food was very flavorful and delicious. We also had the cornbread, and I will have to say that their cornbread is some of my favorite cornbread from a restaurant. All the food that we had here was nothing short of delicious, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. From the moment we walked in they made sure that we had water and were taken care of.

Too Late; Did not ReadGrub literally Got SoulService Super BadAfter a couple solo trips here for takeout, I wanted my Mom to try the fried chicken at Blazin' Chicken Shack, so we decided to dine in. Big mistake. I won't make it again. The vibe was anything but comforting. Sometimes, a hole-in-the-wall spot just isn't worth the struggle.The kitchen cranks out quality comfort food, but the the focus during busy times is on takeout orders, not diners. We showed up around 5pm expecting to eat there, but left well after 6pm with takeout, and finally got to eat--back home after 6:30 with no fried chicken. Total disappointment. Our server was friendly in taking our order. She warned against fried chicken, saying it takes 25 minutes to cook and the kitchen was 30 minutes behind, so 55 min was the best we could hope for if we ordered that. Huge bummer. No such delay for other items, she assured us. Mom ordered gizzards (rarely seen on Denver menus) and I asked for the catfish, which I knew was delicious in a huge portion. I've been here before and was ready to be patient. Good food takes time. As noted by other Yelpers, the staff seem poised to snap at people they deem impatient. I know better.Over the next hour, we gave up trying to get our server to fulfill her promise of a cup of ice for our bottled Coke. Refill our waters? Forget it. On each trip to adjacent tables--including serving food to people who ordered after us--she somehow turned away or just didn't hear us asking for her attention. I get that they were busy, but ignoring customers for an hour is bush league.Eventually, I went to the counter to ask if we could have it to go. I was the only customer there. After a few minutes of watching our server and others box and ring up takeout orders, she turned her back on me and walked away. No one else helped. I checked. I'm not invisible. I followed her until she begrudgingly acknowledged me.While waiting to pay, I overheard that they must have misplaced or lost our order. No apology. Instead, the person who took payment mocked me to my face and then to other staff. I had not complained, only asked for takeout. Perhaps having enough staff would afford time to actually provide table service without being openly rude or ignoring customers. Maybe not. The surliness seems baked in--a feature, not a bug. If you like long waits, empty water glasses, and staff too overwhelmed to acknowledge you, dining in at Blazin' Chicken Shack will be right up your alley. If you're looking for comfort, just get takeout or go elsewhere. Negative stars for "service" cancel out good food.
