We just unveiled the 34th annual Best of Denver edition, and one of our toughest choices was determining the Best Restaurant on Colfax Avenue, a strip where new spots keep popping up. We went with Chop Shop Casual Urban Eatery (which recently opened a second location in Lowry), but one reader vehemently disagrees. Says Candice:
Seriously, the Chop Shop? It’s all right but the best restaurant on Colfax? Really? Honestly, some of the best food on Colfax is the Bourbon chicken joint: $8 for a fat plate of food. It tastes great and it’s super cheap. I never got to check out everything; I moved away. But I did check out the Chop Shop and it’s okay.
I am not dogging it, but I am not sure why Westword has these stupid categories and it’s definitely not the best thing I ate on Colfax. It’s a pretty long stretch of road.
Bourbon Grill has been a Best of winner in the past, but Chop Shop definitely has its fans. There’s this from Jana:
All right!!! Love Chop Shop!
When news happens, Westword is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $50,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to this community. If Westword matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
And Amy:
Good food, indeed.
For the record, our readers’ choice this year was Solera. What’s your favorite restaurant on Colfax? Chop Shop? Bourbon Chicken? Solera? Or something else?
