---

If you're hungry, here are some MUST-try places to eat in the Fort Collins area. This article covers the cuisine type, name of restaurant, and some dishes I have personally tried and recommended from the restaurant, and also includes the address and approximate location of the restaurant. I will also add an opinion-based rating out of 5 stars.

3. Cosmos Pizza

Cosmos Pizza is a Colorado-based restaurant with locations all over the state. They specialize in New York-style pizza, which has a thinner crust and a very airy dough. The restaurant is located at 1401 W Elizabeth St. The prices are relatively low with big portions and lots of toppings. Their large 16” no topping pizza goes for around 15$ not including tax, which is the same pricing as Domino's Pizza, even though the quality of Cosmos is unmatched. You truly cannot go wrong with Cosmos pizza, but I recommend the spicy ranch; even if you're not a fan of ranch with pizza, it tastes amazing adding a balance of creaminess and a little bit of spice. All in all, I would give Cosmos Pizza a 4.3⭐⭐⭐⭐.

2. Jim's Wings

Jim's Wings is a Fort Collins-originated restaurant. Jim's has been serving wings to the community for over 30 years. They serve all different ranges of spice to cater to your taste buds, offering spices from mild all the way to their signature RAM Hot spice. Jim is located at 1205 W Elizabeth St, with tables for large groups or just yourself. Their prices are very low compared to their competitors. They sell wings for 1$ a wing, also selling things like salads, chicken strips, and even calamari. Jim’s has an everyday lunch special where they sell 10 wings, fries, and a drink all for $13.25. My favorite sauce I recommend is their garlic parm. It's a perfect mix between tangy and savory, an all-around amazing sauce. Jims is the best wings in town by far, and it is not close, for this reason, I would say there are

4.7⭐⭐⭐⭐

1. Comet Chicken

Comet chicken is a Fried chicken restaurant similar to canes but on a whole new level. The breading is a crispy, crunchy bite paired with a juicy, tender. And if you're not feeling tendons, they have an amazing bhan mi bowl with veggie options. Comet is located at 126 W. Mountain Ave. The spices are a fiery kick to an amazing chicken. If you're up for it, I recommend the space dust or Nashville spice level. Unlike most spicy foods, where you only get hit with spice, the space dust adds amazing flavor along with the spice. A 4ct of chicken tenders is $12.99, which is a great deal, coming with fries and a drink. Comet chicken is an amazing restaurant, so I'm giving them a

4.8⭐⭐⭐⭐

Now that you know how juicy and crunchy Comet Chicken is, how flavorful and spicy Jim's Wings are, and how airy and fluffy cosmos pizza's is, you can choose what amazing reasturaunt to eat at here in Fort Collins.
