Psst… GoodBird Kitchen to Open in Stapleton

GoodBird Kitchen will bring its award-winning fried chicken and fixin’s and Post Brewing Company beer to Stapleton in the spring of 2016!

Dave Query, Chef/Owner of the Big Red F Restaurant Group, has signed a lease on a fantastic space in the new Stanley Aviation Marketplace.

GoodBird Kitchen, also known as “GBK”, will be a smaller, more streamlined version of The Post Brewing Company in Lafayette. It will offer their famous fried and rotisserie bird, local farm fresh sides, homemade pies, and award-winning post beers.

Guests will order at a counter prior to being seated and full service will be available from that point forward. Dining rooms will feature the same cozy Colorado Mountain – meets – Michigan Roadhouse feel that has made The Post so comfortable for its diners.

Prices will start at $7 and top out at $14 for platters, and buckets of chicken and big family meals to-go will be available from walk-up to-go windows. 

“We are trying to create a simple, easy to use, value driven chicken concept,” says Query. “We like cooking bird the same way we like cooking and working with fresh seafood at Jax. The biscuits, the award winning pies, the field driven side dishes that we feature by the dozen each night. It’s all good. It’s all GoodBird Kitchen.”

GoodBird Kitchen will feature can and draft beers produced exclusively by Brewmaster/Partner Bryan Selders of The Post. Many limited editions and “only available at’s” will be featured at GBK.

The food will be at the hand of Chef/Partner Brett Smith. Smith has been working tirelessly to perfect this bird and all the sides coming out of the wood oven that have made The Post kitchen what it is. The bar/program will be directed by Post Bar Manager/Partner Brian Selbitchka. Beer, chicken friendly wines and a straightforward classic cocktail menu will be available to lovers of the bird.

The Stanley Marketplace is a budding urban marketplace on the borders of Stapleton and Aurora. It was once the Stanley Aviation headquarters – where airplane ejector seats were engineered and manufactured – and when it reopens in 2016 it will be a community hub and gathering space with numerous like-minded businesses, a park, a beer hall, and more.

GoodBird Kitchen is slated to open spring 2016!
