The Wishbone Family Restaurant

Oct 2025 1st visit, weekday, lunch. Good number of diners for a weekday lunch. Was looking forward to dining here based on feedback. First, the restaurant is dated. Entrance to restaurant is in itself "fun". Maybe, I am the only 1 who found entering this restaurant could have been more simple. Food: I got the impression that chicken was their specialty, but, I wasn't in the mood for chicken and ordered 1 of my favorite diner foods, hamburger steak. Let's just say, my dining companions were surprised I only ate about a fourth of my food. The hamburger steak was dry that it was a bit hard even with the gravy. On a positive note, the Chicken Noodle Soup was really delicious! I would have been better off ordering a big bowl of it. Also good was the mushroom (appetizer). Service was 👍 The

How have we not been here before? Fantastic choices, cooked clean, fresh, and fast. Quality was great and the service was friendly and speedy. Would recommend 100 times over. Support a local business that is generations deep!

Best fried chicken I’ve had in a long time. We will definitely go back!! And I loved the extra gravy for dipping!!

Can’t believe it took me 4 years of living in Denver to find this spot. Easily one of my top 5 meals I’ve had in Denver. Our server Desiree was absolutely incredible. She had great energy and she was always smiling. Not to mention she also gave us soooo many wonderful tips during our meal (like eat the fried pickles with thousand island and put Tabasco in your gravy). Everything she recommended was delicious. We got the fried chicken which was perfectly fried. Fried pickles. Shrimp. Mac and cheese. Fries. Toast and mashed potatoes. We also ordered TWO desserts. French silk pie and the cheesecake. We were 3 members of the clean plate club tonight. 12/10 experience all around, can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu!!

Wishbone Family Restaurant absolutely nailed it! The service was impeccable from start to finish—friendly, attentive, and fast. The chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned—seriously on point. Every dish we tried was delicious, and the whole experience was exceptional. It’s clear they take pride in what they do. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for great comfort food and top-notch service!
