  21. Rank 110. Music City Hot Chicken

    Nashville Southern

    Nashville hot chicken shop tucked inside TRVE Brewing on Broadway, where the menu runs from classic spicy tenders to a green chile heat option that leans decidedly Colorado. The sandwiches are big and juicy in the way that requires a full stack of napkins and no white shirt. Vegan versions and a lineup of sides round things out for groups who can't agree on anything except that they're hungry.

  22. Rank 110. Noodles Express

    Sichuan

    The menu has a section called "America's Popular," which tells you everything you need to know about where the kitchen's heart actually lies. This counter-service Sichuan spot runs a long list of chile-heavy, mouth-numbing dishes built around Sichuan peppercorns, and the portions are sized for sharing. Come with people, order widely, and leave the safe column alone.

  23. Rank 110. Pete's Kitchen

    The neon chef flipping pancakes above the door has been a landmark on East Colfax long enough to outlast everything around it. Pete's Kitchen is a classic diner, the kind that keeps the grill going through the night on weekends for whoever needs a gyros omelet or a green chile smothered burrito at 3 a.m. The crowd that fills the stools tends to tell a story. Westword named it Denver's best late-night diner.

  47. Rank 132. Ochag Bar & Grill

    Armenian Middle Eastern

    An Armenian and Caucasian grill tucked into an Aurora strip mall, where the khachapuri arrives topped with egg and cheese and the beef dumplings, called khinkali, are large enough to require a small plan of attack. The menu runs from hearty stews and hand-pulled noodles to eggplant rolls stuffed with garlic-walnut spread. Georgian wine, from a region that considers itself the cradle of viticulture, is the right call alongside any of it.

  92. Rank 166. Misfit Snack Bar

    A tiny kitchen tucked inside a bar on Colfax, Misfit Snack Bar runs a menu that changes so freely you'd be foolish to plan ahead. The chef sends out small plates and bigger dishes that skip cheerfully across any notion of culinary tradition, the balance swinging between delicate and audacious. One constant: a burger that regulars order without looking up. A James Beard Emerging Chef semifinalist in 2023.
