Review of The Brutal Poodle

Dive bar with loud metal music. If you can embrace this, you’ll have a great gf meal.

Short 15 minute wait for a table. Played arcade games and ordered high noon and a certified gf kombucha made in Fort Collins.

Ordered wings with dry rub (smoked then fried) with side of their spicy Buffalo and ranch. Wings were small. Ranch was too rich and fatty for me but Buffalo and dry rub were good. Rub had a little sugar in it- definitely something they play with here- the spicy with sweet.

Fries are house cut and can be put in a dedicated fryer.

Husband had gf chicken and waffles that is as good as all the other reviews say. Waffle had jalapeño and corn meal to create a denser, spicier finish.

Also tried a side of green chili. Ordered the veg, but found a few bites of what tasted like meat mixed throughout. I didn’t bring it up since I do eat meat. Corn tortillas on side warmed in foil to avoid cross contact. Spicy, good flavor.

Good allergy training for celiac. Vegetarians be careful.

Tried to call in for takeout a few days before and sat on hold for 30 minutes and never got an order in. Go in for good service.
