Is there anything better than full plate of soul food? While the South may be known for housing restaurants that specialized in flavorful soul food, you can find eateries around the country that have perfected their take on the cuisine and have become a must-visit for foodies in search of a comforting meal.
Using reviews, awards and accolades as well as first-hand experience, LoveFood compiled a list of the "best soul food restaurant" in every state that serves up dishes full of "heartiness, comfort and finger-licking flavor."
According to the site, the top spot in all of Colorado is The Blazing Chicken Shack II. This Denver eatery crafts delicious, classic soul food staples "packed with bold flavors in every bite," per its website. The Blazing Chicken Shack II, located at 5560 E 33rd Avenue, has a 4.4 star rating on Google and more than 800 reviews.
Here's what LoveFood had to say about this "sensational" spot:
"Hole-in-the-wall joint The Blazing Chicken Shack II has a short but impressive menu. It might not look much from the outside, but it's what's on the inside the counts. The star items are the fried chicken wings, catfish, and oxtails, which come with sides such as red beans and rice, mac 'n' cheese, and fried okra."
