    Bourbon grill is located at 571 E Colfax after a number of years at Franklin and Colfax. This is hands down one of my favorite restaurants in Denver. I spent a number of years in Tennessee and this place reminds me of places there- a meat and sides. You have a choice of the original bourbon grilled chicken, blackened chicken, bbq chicken and blackened fish - all of these items are delicious and you really can’t go wrong with any choice. You have many side choices. The meat is served on a bed of rice- and 2 choices of - Spicy Cajun potatoes- fries- Mac and cheese- spicy noodles- steamed cabbage and other items. I don’t think that I’ve had a bad meal out of 50 visits. Some have been better than others, but none that were bad. If you are in the area stop by and see these great people and wonderful restaurant.

    If I had to pick one restaurant that defined my early adulthood, and one that defines Colorado, it would have to be Bourbon Grill. Their generous portions of delicious chicken has had me coming back for years, rain or shine. I had the chance to come back and try the chicken for the first time since 2015 and I happy to report that it’s still the same recipe. I was also glad to see that the original owners are still there. I give this restaurant my strongest recommendation for any Denver restaurant.

    Bourbon grill off East Colfax Denver Colorado. Excellent black and chicken combo and bourbon chicken combo along with a side of the spicy noodles. Recommended it out and about January 22 2023. Video included. Bring the Family, you won't regret it. Family owned. Only 1 location

    BEST bourbon chicken in Denver!! I used to frequent this spot when it was near Franklin and Colfax, I thought it had closed and was so sad. I drove past the new location on Pearl and Colfax a couple of weeks ago and nearly broke my neck when I saw the sign. If you're a BBQ chicken or mac & cheese lover, go here now. I can't say enough good things, this food brings me back and I was nearly brought to tears when the steamed rice and sauce hit my mouth. My taste buds were dancing!

    Amazing food, owners, and service 10/10 This place is a family owned business and Dany the son of owners took our order and he was extremely nice and loved working there. Not only that but was kind enough to give us recommendations of where to visit in Colorado, which made the experience great,. The food is juicy and fresh. Chicken wings are made by order and their egg rolls are just right 🔥. Would go again. Recommend

    Best Bourbon Chicken with Mac and cheese I have had in Denver area. They really stack it with the chicken and Mac and cheese. Really great combo, tasty, flavorful and most of all filling. Very happy with the food, finding parking there can be difficult but it’s worth it. I highly recommend anyone to come here to try it if you’re near the area.

    The chicken has good flavor but a bit dry. I think is a bit pricey for what you get. I ordered the bourbon chicken on bed of rice. Nothing special though. I have tried other places around the area that are better.

    I asked for extra juice they had my order already made when I got there I got home and my rice is dry dry. I ask for extra juice because this happened before. The reason I go there is because I like the juice over my rice so now I have a plate I barely ate and I cannot go back because I had to Uber to pick up and cannot go back my car is in the shop they don’t answer to talk to them about it. So I guess money wasted. Shame you guys shouldn’t do people like that!

    My fiancée and I visited from Canada and stumbled upon Bourbon Grill one day. I had the bourbon chicken combo plate with potatoes, rice and corn. The food and service was fantastic! It was the best bourbon chicken I've ever had. My fiancée had mac and cheese, which she said was the best she's ever had. Definitely recommend Bourbon Grill if you're visiting Denver.

    Hands down the best Burbon chicken place within 50 miles of Denver. This is my second time and after blowing my mind the first time I was amazed to have them do it again. Great portion sizes (I cannot emphasize this enough), great price point, and great flavors. You can't ask for more. Don't let the outside appearance trick you, go in! Trust me.

    I re-visit Bourbon Grill at least twice a month. They have the best bourbon chicken I've ever had. I personally order mine with extra sauce so it saturates the bed of rice and I also get a side of sauce to dip the chicken, it's that good. Sweet and savory!! I only get the Mac n cheese for my sides because it's amazing, IMO. I have been eating here since the last location that was just a walk up window. New location is much improved. If you e never tried it, you need to stop procrastinating!! One plate can easily serve 2 adults.

    Bourbon Grill is hands down one of The Best family owned spots in town! This family owned and run establishment has been serving the Denver metro area for well over 40 years! Their food is consistent and plentiful and made with true love by this family’s hands. My go to has been the bourbon chicken combo with Mac n cheese (from scratch) and fresh green beans (with extra sauce bc I’m bougie like that). Another favorite are their Cajun wings. I will Only eat BGs wings! They are beyond delicious with the best Crunch and tasty seasonings. (Pic taken after I chowed down for 10min and it is still a full plate! Their portions are beyond generous and I believe they deserve a price increase after 20+yrs of not having one! Definitely worth every penny!)

    I have mixed feelings, but ultimately would not recommend this place. Panda Express bourbon chicken has more flavor. The sides were less than mediocre--the Mac n cheese tasted like microwave Mac n cheese from the grocery store and the veggies were soggy and bland. The bourbon chicken hardly had any flavor. I'm very confused why people like this spot. To top it off, it's overpriced. The restaurant is dirty, too. If you're going to charge full service restaurant prices (even more expensive than a lot of full service restaurants), at least keep it clean. And to expect a tip on top? Bffr. The only reason I give it more than 1 star is because they do give you a lot of food. One plate is probably enough for 2 people. Would be better to serve less food for a lower price. I wouldn't go back.

    Had the bourbon chicken, steamed rice, steamed green beans, and potatoes. All very excellent. It's a huge amount of food, so we shared. If you can't take it with you I would highly recommend this. Totally enough food for 2 people. Otherwise, plan to get 2 meals out of it. We ate in. Basic, no frills place. Great for a place to stop before you go out to a concert or bar for the night.

    Such good food and large portions. It was enough for 2 plus extras. The burning chicken is amazing!! We would definitely come back

    Vegetable bourbon not on the menu but a couple cents cheaper than meat options I recommend putting a plant based option on the menu! I recommend the bourbon sauce over the vegetables not on the rice! To make restaurant more vegetarian friendly put the sauce closer to the vegetables and a glass divider between the meat and the vegetables!

    Came here for lunch and order the Bourbon Chicken Combo with the two sides being Mac N Cheese and the Cajun Potatoes. I also decided to eat indoors for this meal. It came out to around $18 with tip since I decided to eat there. Lets start off with service. Even though there was a long line, the worker was extremely helpful and attentive and the transaction for my order was quick. When we received our food, we were so surprised because the portions were huge and was able to be shared with two people. The chicken was sweet and delicious and was like BBQ sauce chicken but with more flavor and was a bit sweeter. It was to die for. The Mac N Cheese and Potatoes were also both delicious. It was also served with rice which was a great combination with the sauce the chicken provided. We were able to still take our food home because the portions were that big. If you're dining indoors, the dining room is a big small and cramped, but there are seats towards the restrooms for those not too comfortable with sitting near people just yet.

    Food was delicious but service was slow and they didn’t answer the phone the other day when I called to place a To go order so I had to go elsewhere unfortunately…they Should be much faster since all the food is already cooked, maybe hire more counter staff to help get orders out faster. I only tried the bourbon chicken and rice though, can’t rate anything else, but it was delicious, good quality chicken and flavor, some parts were a little too charred for my liking but the flavor and juiciness made up for it.

    Hadn’t visited BG since they moved west on Colfax to this new location but even with a major building upgrade and shiny new sign, it keeps it real as an eatery for the people! The same owners still run it with some extra help to pump volume. The food still comes in heaping portions, really enjoyed the bourbon chicken and blackened fish even if the sides are a bit generic. If bang for the buck and a slice of Colfax is what you want, it’s still alive and well at Bourbon Grill.
