Personally, my pick for the most grease content per meal in Denver, as well as the most unhealthiest place to eat in Denver is GB Fish & Chips. The GB must stand for the “Grease Box”. Thickly battered frozen slabs of questionable fish dripping with grease, glistening pools of grease left on the plate and zero vegetables unless you count soggy, mushy potato wedges as veggies.
Frankly I was raised on two bays, Tampa and Chesapeake and therefore I am a true seafood lover. I was taught as a kid that you broil, char-grill or smoke quality fish and that once the whole fish’s eyes turn cloudy, you then fillet that fish, fry it in grease to cover the staleness of the fish and then serve it up to the unsuspecting tourists. The locals don’t eat fried seafood. At least not like they cook it at GB, drenched in grease. Plus there was always fresh, healthy veggies served with our seafood.
I thought french fries should be crispy, but these are not french fries here, they a soft, mushy potato wedges, mostly still white and glistening with grease. Yuk!
The GB shops are the perfect example of how unhealthy a restaurant can be and still have customers. Basically I have to think the people that go back there simply do not care about their health or well being. They certainly don’t know real seafood and how it should be cooked. There’s so many great places for seafood in Denver these days, I don’t understand why anyone goes here! Plus for the $$$, they are very over-price for some greasy fish, fries and a soft drink for $10.00+, are you kidding me!?!!?
The UK is known throughout the planet as having some of the worst food there is. This is a great example of how bad British food can be!
Go to Long John Silver's, you would be better off, greasy fish for less $.

At Guadalajara Authentic Mexican Buffet on Colfax Avenue in Aurora (2011 Best of Denver winner), you’ll find barbacoa de borrego chivo -- a... More
The Guadalajara Authentic Mexican Buffet is very aptly named, as it is truly authentic Mexican food served in a buffet style. This is not your Old Country Buffet, but a true carnivore’s delight in the ways of preparing meats and seafood in many different traditional Mexican styles. I have eaten there now six times, both during the lunch and the dinner hours. Each time I have been, I have notice the amount of people eating there has increased, as this is a fairly new restaurant. I have been coming to this same address for nearly a dozen years now, because it was a great little Mexican Carniceria and grocery store where you could buy all types of excellently prepared meats to go and they had a small restaurant inside too. This just eventually evolved to being the restaurant they have there now. The review that I am writing is about the preparations they had out this Saturday evening, March 5, 2011. Since it is a Saturday night, they put out more seafood dishes than you usually see during the week. There were a half dozen different soups available tonight, including Caldo de Res (beef soup), Caldo de Mariscos (seafood soup), menudo (a traditional Mexican hangover cure, tripe soup) and pozole (pork and hominy stew). There were at least three completely different and quite wonderful shrimp dishes, one in a creamy spicy sauce. That sauce was so nice that I was mixing it in with my other dishes so I wouldn’t waste a drop. Mojarra (whole Tilapia fish) nice and crispy on the outside and hot, moist, flaky white meat on the inside. Done just right and available whole or halved. The crispy fried fish strips were pretty good when I dipped it in the creamy shrimp sauce. If you were to look in the back end of the ensaladas bar you would have found raw oysters on the half shell! Its not like you have to miss out on any choice Mexican style. Green chile? They always seem to have at least two versions: a more creamy New Mexican type with lot of tender roasted pork chucks and a more tomatillo and cumin based version with plenty of nicely roasted pork that just melts in your mouth. Green or red enchiladas. Soft or crispy chili rellenos. The choices go on and on. Personally, I do not eat beef, but their barbacoa (BBQ beef) looks and smells so good that I’m going to have to try it sometime! The amount of beef choices at any time is quite a bit and is worth checking out alone if you are into the cow. I do eat most all the other meats though and the goat there is some of the best in town! I can say that because it was the goat that I’ve been coming to this once meat market for a long time now. The Birria de Chivo of theirs is in a very nice, rich red chili sauce and is a treat to see every time that I been there. Not a bunch of bones like you might expect, but rather lots on nice chucks of tender, yummy goat meat! One of the things I really looked forwards to is their version of BBQ pork ribs. I’m sort of a rib purist, not liking Texan or St. Louis style ribs, but more like what you find in the deep South USA, or in Asia or Africa where BBQ began. They have a nice pork rib where the meat falls off the bone and very little sauce, and nicely charred if you can grab them before they go! There are always large bowls of freshly made salsa available each day and it seems like they mix up what types of salsa they have that day. Plenty of chips and other items for dipping. There is a small ensaladas bar with your usual sliced cukes, radishes, pickled jalapenos, carrot and onions, and onion & cilantro, but they also have a Civiche (seafood salad), cubes of queso blanco (white cheese) and pico de gallo (a traditional salsa). The dessert section is worth checking out whether you like the Mexican cakey stuff, of which there are several choices. The fruit is always freshly cut and usually there is pineapple, mango, cantaloupe. There is homemade flan and rice pudding too! There are so many different items they served that I just can not go through them all in this review, but I promise that the next time I go there, I will bring something to take notes on. (Hopefully a new iPad2) But I can assure you that the amount of items on the buffet at any given time is just amazing and very satisfying. It is quite an amazing spread of food, all you can eat and only $9.99 not including your beverage. Same price lunch and dinner.
