The Post Chicken & Beer - Rosedale

Sometimes, "best" isn't about upscale and expensive. Casual and affordable restaurants can be the best at what they do and The Post Chicken & Beer on South Broadway is just such a place. For its fans, it's the go-to for deeply satisfying fried chicken in Denver. Guy Fieri clearly agreed when he showcased The Post on a Diners, Drive Ins & Dives segment on his popular show. While there's better craft beer in Denver, Post brews are worthy companions to the food, which includes options in addition to chicken. As for sides, standout accompaniments include cheddar biscuits, beets & sweets, collard greens and deviled eggs, though naturally mashed potatoes and mac & cheese have many fans, too. There is, however, something that must be noted: Inexplicably, grits are no longer on the menu. My great-aunt Mary from rural Alabama would be horrified. Come on, Post, give us back our grits!
