Worst place I've ever worked. Employees vaping on the line. No gloves. One employee doing drugs in the bathroom. Hiring evil people and having sexiest managers. Owner even said it was okay to undercook the chicken. Glad it closed permanently

Beware! Food poisoning! My wife and I ate here and enjoyed our food but got extremely sick for the following 72 hours after. We had Hot Chicken Sandwich, Chicken Wing Plate, and Fries. I contacted the restaurant to inform them and didn't even get a response. Not sure if it's an issue with bad ingredients or a sick employee but beware! Nashville hot chicken tastes good going down but not coming back up

SWEET PICKLES ARE DISGUSTING and are hurting the pickle brand! Dill or Nill - no exceptions! All dill pickle substations must be accompanied by a clear disclaimer and negotiated beforehand in good faith. Bit into my chicken sandwich expecting dill, and now my remaining tastebuds all suffer from PTSPD (Post Traumatic Sweet Pickle Disorder).

Place was less than average. The chicken was dry, the spice was low to medium and the bun fell apart not because it was fresh but because it was stale. Got the Mac n' chz - nasty, gritty sauce with no flavor. Slaw was super plain. Underwhelmed with everything about this place. Plenty of other choices better than this place.

Really Good Chicken! Best chicken sandwich I've had.I do think the Sandwich is very small considering the cost of them.Wallet Beware!

My roommates, me, and our horde of children came in today to eat around noon. The service was fantastic, friendly, and genuinely pleasant. We ordered a few sandwiches, a 2 PC dark, tenders for the kiddos, biscuits, and Mac n Cheese. Everything was delicious and VERY filling. It all came out hot, and quicker than I everexpected. Definitely recommend for a god chicken lunch. And the server was incredible with

Walked two miles to come here because I had heard it was good. When I walked in the whole situation was just awkward. I received my macaroni and it was cold and honestly tasted worse than kraft.

The Budlong is the closest representation to Nashville Hot Chicken I've found so far in Denver. It's all because of their Chicken Wing plate being served properly in white bread with house made pickles. The chicken and spice here were delicious. Nice crispy buttermilk batter that complimented their spices perfectly.The Hot was a perfect level if you want a bit of heat, they did warn the X-Hot is a big step up so we didn't move to it.The Fried Chicken Sandwich was delicious. My only complaint was too much bread to chicken ratio. But just like the wings, the chicken was crispy, moist, and had great flavor.The Banana Pudding and the buscuit and Jam are a MUST. Those definitely blew me away the most.

After my initial visit, I went back 3 times in the same week. The food and customer service goes hand in hand! Everything is amazing all the way down to the pickles! My regular order is the 5 piece wings with macaroni and collard greens.

I thought the chicken and sides were very good. Very fresh. I could come back. They do have microbrews on tap but it's not at their menu so you might not know.

This is a nice little chicken shop in my opinion! The inside is nicely decorated. I thought it was going to be an order and sit place, but it is a sit down restaurant! I thought everything was fresh and tasty. I think I would try the extra hot next time. The hot chicken sandwich was spicy, but not butt burning. Thank you for a great dinner.

Solid chicken sandwich. Spice level was decent. Chicken itself could've been a little juicer. But when in the area, it's a good grab.

Cancels my order every single time, after taking an hour to let me know...even when it was a $100 order. If you won't fulfill orders, don't allow orders to be placed online. If you don't want to allow food to be delivered, don't offer it as an option. How disappointing....so I can only assume that the food must be as well.

This place is the best! If your in search of the best hot chicken sandwich, Look no further! Top tier customer service from the second we walked in. Friendly servers, bartenders, and cooks! The food! Talk about all home made! Fresh, hot, to the table quick. The sandwich has a amazing crunch and spice no one else has. They offer 3 levels of heat to choose from. The home made sauce and seasoning complement the sandwich perfectly. Amazing bun and hefty sandwich. Five starts hands down. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent service with excellent food. The chicken was cooked perfectly, the heat of the hot was a good heat, but I will probably go for a hotter level next time. The collard greens were amazing, by far the best I have ever had. My wife had the classic heat chicken sandwich and it was delicious but will likely move up a heat level as well. The sandwich was tasty but got a bit messy with the slaw and sauce and pickles. Just get some tenders with slaw on the side, it wasn't worth the mess of the bread.
