The 24 best spots for onion rings in Boulder

Stopped in Dark Horse after hiking nearby since we heard such great things about this dive bar. We absolutely loved the vibe of the place - so cool and everything being self serve was nice too. I got a cheeseburger and it was okay. Not bad, not great. The fries were pretty bland and the ranch wasn’t my favorite. My friends got the chicken wings which they absolutely loved. It was very inexpensive which I appreciated. If I ever found myself visiting Boulder again, I’d consider trying something else!

Go for the wings! I like that they're whole too and not shy on the sauce. Good prices. They DO NOT allow dogs on the patio so just keep that in mind. Kitchen cashier did not seem like they wanted to be there 😂 but I get it. Kitchen, on the other hand, seemed like they were having a great time and they served up some good food. Also had a burger; not the best in town but it was solid enough for me to eat the whole thing and for $9 I'm not going to complain. Still thinking about the wings though! Nice atmosphere of course.

I used to go here almost every Tuesday for burger madness when I lived in Boulder. Love the interior and burgers and fries are great. Met friends for lunch to reminisce. It wasn't crowded like it used to be, but the food is still good and still love the atmosphere!

Don’t go if you want someone to come take your order and bring you your food/drinks. 😂 Love the atmosphere! Food was very reasonable and came up fast, even though we were there during dinner on a weeknight. Fries were delicious and my blue cheese burger was perfectly cooked. Can’t wait to come back to try something else!

Why on Earth any of these building developers would demolish this place out blows my mind. This has been a boulder staple forever and it is truly amazing and unique. Especially with the Sundance film festival coming to town, This has the perfect movie-like environment.

Pretty good food. We had baby back ribs and steak, both were well prepared and the portions were good to share between two people. There is no take service and it can be hard to come by seating during busy hours. The atmosphere was good. A bit loud but not excessive; good for families with little children.

So chill & great food. Walked around and checked everything out! Cool arcade too! Great staff!!!!

If you don't go to The Sink, you're missing out! Best burger I've had in recent memory. My friend had a pizza, and it was great too. Also, great espresso martini and margaritas. The food and drinks are only surpassed by the atmosphere. A really cool vibe. Don't miss out!

This food definitely catered to the American palette. Everything was overly sweet, The Cowboy Ruben was okay… very very sweet. The Straw Burger was just okay… a lot of bread and a lot of cheese. Spicy from the jalapeños but no flavor. My fries were a little stale and my husbands. Probably wouldn’t come again.

Best food ever! Please come to this place. If they say Reuben sandwich SAY YES! If they say french fries or sweet potato, take both! Best honey mustard I’ve ever tried in my life.

Such a fun experience! This placed was rec’d by some friends who used to live here. It’s a bit hole-in-the wall in all the best ways. Seems to be a Boulder institution. My H and I shared the spinach dip and the bacon jammin burger. Loved both. The house-made pickles were extra yummy. Loved the vibe of the place. The service was fast and super friendly. Definitely a must when visiting Boulder.

Went here a few weeks ago and still dreaming of their skillet chocolate chip cookie… it’s a MUST! The food is great, not the best burger I’ve ever had but pretty good regardless. The lavender cocktail was splendid, as well. Their ambience is probably the best part (other than the cookie), filled with eclectic hand-painted murals. On their video board, they have stories at the Sink, which gives it a very homey feel. I loved learning about its history. Highly recommend for a unique bite in the area!

We ate here as a group and everyone loved what they got! I had the goat cheese pizza, and it was absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the art all around is wonderful to take in as you're eating. 10/10

Fun environment with great food. We were visiting from Michigan, and the manager came out to ask how our visit was. We appreciated his friendlies and sharing the history of The Sink with us. We would definitely eat here again.

This place is beautiful and cozy with great vibes, great views and incredible food. Our server, Mia, went above and beyond to make sure my boyfriend and I were satisfied. Don’t forget to try their homemade sauce - mustardy and spicy deliciousness. Can’t give this place enough praise! Thank you, Mia! ♥️☺️

The shepherds pie was good, but the appetizer (Korean bbq skewer) and side (onion rings) were definitely the best part of the meal. The cocktail was also really good.

Pretty decent bbq spot. Got the burnt ends, brisket platter, smoked artichoke dip, and crispy Brussels. The Brussels were very crispy - too dry. The burnt ends were inconsistent, some were dry and hard and others were buttery and fell apart. The brisket platter was good, it was all too much food. sweet potato fries and slaw were good. Most things were lacking flavor for us. The smoked artichoke dip was the best. The in house chips were great! Our server, Josh, was very nice. He kept closing the door for us since it was very windy and we got cold.

This review is specifically based on my bar experience (no food). November 2025: My husband and I sat at the bar and had a couple of drinks. The bartender was friendly and the barstools were comfortable! I ordered the Old Buffalo from the cocktail menu and got it smoked. It was awesome! I loved the Bourbon and the smoke enhancement. We also met a few people while we were there and we enjoyed the warm, social environment.

I ate the brisket platter. It was tasty. So were the beans, coleslaw, Texas toast & pickles. Bbq sauce was good too.

Korean BBQ skewer was mediocre at best. My fries were a bit over seasoned. My friend did really like the chicken sandwich. Service was good but not exceptional. Ate outside which was quite pleasant! So many options on Pearl St...I feel like you have to really stand out, which this didn't.

The West End Tavern was a pleasant experience with a few hiccups. We quite enjoyed the jalapeno dip, the peppers paired with the cheese so well and the portion size was far better than most other restaurants selling the same item. The fish from the fish and chips was crispy with a tasty batter and the fries were pretty decent. The sticky style chicken sandwich was an interesting take that absolutely had me reaching for the wet naps. It was sweet and crispy with a bit too much apple, overall nice but I don't think I'll go back to it. The kids food is where I question things. Kids are picky, sure, but why is the chicken breast and fries so plain? The service was ok, a bit slow at times and and definitely distracted.

Really like the idea of this place, but found the burger to be okay. Ordered the single with everything. I think the bun was soft - missed a griddle crusting. To be fair, two hours earlier I visited The Sink. Yes, two burgers in two hours. That was special. I also got their custard, and unfortunately it wasn't solidified, so it was pretty soupy from the onset.

Very popular place with take out orders. Only 5 chairs to sit down and eat but still a good burger to satisfy your cravings. A bit on the greasy side but perhaps it makes it more satisfying. Reasonably priced for Boulder.

This is an old bare bones burger shack and it is awesome! The burgers are smashed and the cheese is dripping! Best part is they put hot sauce on it! The onion rings ant tots were good as well as the grilled cheese. Everyone should eat at Snarfs!

This was so freaking good!!! Absolutely amazing food price was great 15 bucks for a double Hawaiian burger fries and ranch! Best burger in boulder I have ever had. Services was great food came out in 5 mins at lunch hr. Great job guys !!!

Good burgers, not very friendly, no restrooms, great location on Arapahoe near the CU campus and Boulder High School. It got the job done after a nice hike.

What a dive! My husband and I are from out of state and we happened to be passing by, saw this place, and knew it’d be good! It’s always the hole in the wall places! We ordered burgers and then went back for fries and a shake. I loooooved the fries. Crispy and well seasoned. Friendly staff, good food, and we already decided we’d come again if we ended up in CO again!

The staff works hard for such a tiny place to eat. The food was good and a chill vibe.Jess is so friendly and patient. The food was good had a triple b and onion rings . Best burger I’ve had!

We absolutely loved this spot! While driving through Boulder on our way to Estes Park, we stumbled upon this charming little gem. The service was warm and welcoming, and the food blew us away. The fresh juices were bursting with flavor, and the oat milk lattes—though a bit on the small side—were fantastic. The pancake flight was such a fun and creative idea, with each flavor more delicious than the last. The greens & grain bowl was packed with flavor, and the garden harvest omelette was equally satisfying. A perfect stop we’re glad we didn’t miss!

We visited the Boulder location for breakfast and everything—from the upbeat vibe to the creative menu—was spot on. The staff was friendly, efficient, and made the experience feel fun from start to finish. Our food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious. Even though it was busy, the energy stayed positive and welcoming. Great coffee, great food, great people — Snooze Boulder is easily one of the best breakfast spots in town! Perfect stop between Denver & Estes Park! 🌟

What a great experience, the food was absolutely awesome and the service was very friendly and welcoming. It was a little busy which sometimes meant the service lagged but overall our server was super sweet and attentive. My mother is very allergic to shellfish so I always worry about servers blowing it off. But the server we had not only asked about the allergy but clarified that she would make sure there was no contamination! This is so appreciated!

Loved the first meal so much, we went back the next day. Shrimp and Grits were amazing as were the Eggs Benedict. But whatever you do, order a strawberry shortcake pancake as a side (one large pancake) - oh my! Our server, SHELBY, was reason enough to make us come back, so charming and friendly!

My daughter and I were trying to find a brunch restaurant on 3 Aug 2025 and discovered this one via Google search. And since I've never visited the infamous Pearl Street area, we thought this would be a good time to do so, after we get some much-needed sustenance prior to walking around. We arrived a little later in the afternoon so when we walked in, it wasn't too crowded...which was a good thing because I wanted to have a quiet(er) Dad-Daughter time. We were greeted nicely by the hostess on shift (I didn't catch her name but kudos to the one working that position on the day we arrived ~2:30 pm). The service here was impeccable...provided initially by the hostess, all the way to our primary server, Gladelfa. In fact, speaking of Gladelfa, she was outstanding! She was highly attentive, professional, and extremely friendly - all quality traits! The restaurant's décor was nice which enabled a warm, yet vibrant feeling during our dining experience. The tables and chairs were adequate; they were comfortable enough and I had enough elbow room while eating. Yes, I have been to restaurants where the tables were so tiny that I struggled with moving things around, including my arms. We ordered the Egg White Garden Harvest Omelet with Hash Browns (instead of the Parmesan-Dressed Greens), Strawberry Shortcake Pancakes, side of Bacon, side of the Polidori Sausage Links, Strawberry Lavender Lemonade, and Coffee. The omelet and pancakes were divine, and the hash browns were perfect (I loved the presentation). The bacon and sausage were adequate; the bacon could've been cooked longer in my opinion, but it was still scrumptious...and I can honestly say that I've had better sausage. I took a sip of my daughter's mocktail and it was refreshing...which was surprising because I'm not a lemonade kind of guy. And finally, the coffee was splendid (roast and temperature). Overall, I loved my initial visit here as depicted in my 5-star rating. The price-to-quantity/quality ratio was superb and I highly respect this business for their support to the men and women of the Armed Forces, including its Veterans - thank you for that! I know that my former self would've grumbled with the quantity because I've been to restaurants that serve massive amounts of food and that was my go-to type of restaurants; however, as I got older, I realized how much food us Americans eat and let's just say this restaurant does it right. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll be sure to stop in because this restaurant was something else! I know my daughter will most likely stop in again since she's attending CU Boulder. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone! Note: I recently noticed we have this restaurant in my home city of Las Vegas so I'll have to go check it out one day.

I had walked by here several times over the years while enjoying the energy and commotion of the Pearl Street Mall, and I decided to finally enter and indulge. The cavernous interior is greatly appreciated, as the restaurant becomes quite crowded quite early. Everything is brightly colorful, and the restaurant exudes a confident and playful personality: not brash but still charming and distinctive. I appreciate the names of the food on the menu, which can be things like "Awesome Vegan Banana Pancakes" and others in the same voice and register. The restaurant effectively communicates a loose, carefree atmosphere while still being serious when delivering delicious food. The "Eggs Benedict Verde" with green chili is particularly delightful.

The best diner in town! I love their “OMG! French Toast”, the name describes perfectly how you feel after trying it. They are fluffy, spongy, sweet, filled with mascarpone. Topped with caramel and fresh strawberry. I order half size which it was enough for me. Mmh delicious 🤤!! Plus, ordered a side of hash brown and scrambled eggs. Highlight the hash brown because it’s a great portion and not too grilled, so it doesn’t get completely dry. Server was nice and attentive, as well as the entire crew. Everyone was friendly and available to help you asap. Definitely would come back! 💛

We decided to have a destination wedding in Boulder, CO and spent a while looking into different restaurants in the area to host a wedding reception dinner. We wanted a private room for 10 people and amazing food. Annie, the event coordinator, answered all of my questions before we signed the contract to hold the event there. And we are soooo happy with our decision to go to Flagstaff House. Everyone from Annie to the staff and waiters were amazing and made the entire experience easy and unforgettable. They were very knowledgeable about the menu and even gave us a little history about the restaurant when we asked about it. The food, views, staff, and atmosphere were all amazing! I took pictures of our first course, but forgot to take pictures of the rest of our meal and drinks because everything was so good I just started eating immediately after they brought it out! lol All of our guests absolutely loved the food, drinks, and spectacular views! I was originally a little worried because some reviews said the portions were very small. But I disagree. Between the size of the portions, the amount of courses, and all the little appetizers between courses, we were all beyond full by the end of dinner. It is expensive, but it’s a great place for a special occasion. Can’t say enough good things about this place. We plan on returning for our one year anniversary. Highly recommend!

This was my second time at the Flagstaff House and it was, again, a wonderful culinary and family experience. If you are in a rush, go elsewhere. For me, it was best to remember that I am there to enjoy, relax, and participate. The waitstaff is intuitive, accommodating, friendly, and attentive. Our waitress was very polite, helpful, and soft-spoken. The valet was super friendly and accommodating as well, as I had my dog with me, and they found a comfortable shaded area for him - don’t worry, it was not a warm day, the windows were left down, and he came out with Wagyu! We also jumped across the street to the lookout for some “relieving.” It was clear that the two guys had checked on him a few times during the dinner encounter. Plain and simple - it would be hard for you to not enjoy yourself. A plus is seeing what designer, purse, and shoe the ladies are wearing!

I had a lot of thoughts about this place. Overall the food was very good. I enjoy fine dining however, I personally don’t prefer the tasting menu style of restaurant where you get 10 different bite sized dishes. The flavor was good in everything and each item was a work of art. The best thing I had on the menu though was the butter that came with the bread and the Orions Belt cocktail. The staff and restaurant put a lot of effort into everything from the service to the food which I appreciate but I wouldn’t have classified it as an “experience” which is what I expect from places like this. It was a really nice meal at a fancy restaurant. The cocktails were really good and the bottle of wine (No Name Barolo) we had was fabulous. The service felt a bit over the top at times. For instance when I got up to go the bathroom, staff members would say “pardon me” as I walked by when they weren’t in my way. It felt like they were told to say that in an attempt to make the restaurant more bougie. Whereas I felt that the service was quite slow at times. The atmosphere was great, the architecture of the building and the views are incredible. Overall I had a very nice time and would recommend it if you are looking for a high end dinner or drinks when in Boulder.

We came to Flagstaff House to celebrate our anniversary, having had an outstanding experience here previously with a larger group. Unfortunately, our dinner for two—over $775—fell far short of expectations. The evening started with promise: our menus had our anniversary printed on them, which felt special, but they were later taken away and never returned as a keepsake. From there, the attention to detail unraveled. After ordering sparkling water, we were later refilled with flat. One cocktail had so much ice it was distracting, while another, though tasty, was served in a large clunky glass that made it unpleasant to drink. Twice I had to ask for crumbs to be cleared, and the second time the waiter actually sprayed the table with a bottle while silverware was still set. Course after course was inconsistent. The canape tartare was overwhelmed by mustard, and the plating looked tired. The melon palate cleanser and roasted Palisade peaches were flavorless. The tuna crudo and squash blossom were decent, though again lacking in presentation. The salmon was overcooked, the soft shell crab both overcooked and poorly plated, though the Berkshire BLT was one of the highlights. Our wine pairings were hit or miss—the first good, the next two poor—and our server even misidentified one pairing, leaving us unsure if we were given the correct wine at all. For mains, the Wagyu was cooked well, but the sauce ruined it, and the lobster was forgettable. The lamb was good, but again plating felt uninspired. Desserts were equally disappointing: the lemon macarons and cheesecake cleanser lacked flavor, the gelato was inedible, and the cinnamon roll had little cinnamon. The chocolate pecan entremet was the standout, while the apple spice cake was just fine. Service did not help the experience. Our server seemed lackluster and unknowledgeable compared to others around us, and at no point did the manager stop by to check in. For a restaurant of this caliber, and at this price point, the lack of attention to detail, inconsistent food, poor plating, and uninspired service were extremely disappointing. What should have been a special celebration felt like a missed opportunity, and sadly, we left more frustrated than fulfilled.

I rarely ever leave reviews but after sitting on this all night I felt I needed to say something. I would only rate it one star if it wasn’t for our server, Adam, and his amazing service. But everything else was unfortunately disappointing. We had such high hopes for this place after hearing about how wonderful it is but we had a totally different experience. We came to celebrate our anniversary and were prepared to spend a pretty penny on an incredible experience that we thought we were going to be getting. But unfortunately the food was not worth half of what we paid for it and we felt more than a little ripped off. The portions were laughably tiny. Like really. It was like you were getting teased with 2 bites of food every 20-30 minutes (yes that’s how long it took each “course” to come out, expect to be here for at least 2 hours) but yet you never got to experience a real meal. My husband and I both left hungry and frustrated. The dishes were either overly salty or underwhelming in flavor. For example, I got the rack of lamb for one of the courses and the risotto it was on top of was terribly dry and undercooked. Another thing was there was so many servers and other workers standing/moving around that it was a little overwhelming. You would take one sip of water and someone would run up to refill your cup. I left the table for a moment and came back and my napkin was gone with a new one in it’s place. While I appreciate the gesture, it felt like we were being watched and had no privacy. My husband and I could not even hold a conversation because there would be a different person coming to our table for something every minute or so. It felt like the employees were bored and were desperate for something to do since there were so many of them. Overall I would not recommend this place and would encourage you to check out other restaurants in the area whose food is incredible and portioned correctly.

My birthday celebration here was truly unforgettable, marked by exceptional service from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, the valet greeted us with warmth and even noted it was my birthday, setting the tone for a royal experience.This personalized attention continued with the hostess, who thoughtfully prepared our table in a prime corner spot by the window, offering a breathtaking view of the city lights. Adam, our server, provided truly top-notch service, his attentiveness was so remarkable that my boyfriend made a note of his name and our table number for future visits. The culinary experience was equally impressive, with every dish exceeding expectations. The entire evening, from our arrival to our departure, was elevated to another level, even including specially printed menus says Happy Birthday with my name on it.

We decided to stop in for a few cocktails and dinner before our concert, not realizing it was a full-course restaurant. I was mainly looking for amazing mountain views, but this place had it all—the scenery, delicious food, and staff who were incredibly nice and accommodating

This place is a must-try when in Boulder! The food, drinks, dog-friendly patio, and views were all perfection. Reasonably priced and the best part was our amazing server Sara - she made us feel so welcomed, was attuned to our every need, and had great recommendations! Will definitely be back 😊

Such unique plates that you aren’t going to get anywhere else. Breakfast potatoes are unique and consistently great. My go to order is the Eggs New Orleans and it always hits, though last time I switched it up and got the Eggs Pontchartrain and that was good too. But in all honestly, I’m mostly there for the biscuits and potatoes. Fresh squeezed juices are good here too! Boulder location atmosphere is one of my favorite of all its locations. Consider yourself extra lucky if you end up on the porch!

I came here at the recommendation of a friend, and I am very grateful that I did, because this is a bustling and vibrant slice of New Orleans vividness in the heart of Boulder. This place is admittedly quite crowded, and at peak times, there are significant weights for a table. I was fortunate enough that I only had to wait about 10 minutes or so, and I was ushered into a lovely little table surrounded with Cajun paraphernalia and a delightful, glamorously nostalgic sense of early 20th century ambience. The food is varied and provides a Boulder twist on New Orleans cuisine, and I am particularly enamored with the blueberry southern pancakes, which have a grainy authenticity to them that feels quite hardy. I will conclude by saying that this is also a fun place for eavesdropping, if you are so inclined, as the tables are close and everyone around has quite interesting stories. This place feels both energetic and classy, and I quite recommend it for anyone who wants a savory breakfast or just a slice of New Orleans delights.

Lucile’s Creole Cafe is a great breakfast or lunch restaurant. It’s in an old Victorian house that gives it a homey atmosphere. The servers were friendly, polite, and helpful. They returned often to the table to refresh our drinks or ask if we needed anything else. The food was delicious and not at all the common fair you find in most breakfast lunch places these days. I had the rice pudding porridge and my guest had Eggs New Orleans. There was plenty of food and it was quite tasty.

im gonna gush on this restaurant a bit. so we are big fans of anything cajun or creole. my littlest is BIG into cheesy grits, shrimp and grits, buttered grits, grits and gumbo. if you can name the grits dish they'll eat it. my aunt knowing there is a complete adoration for grits and beignets suggested this and it did not disappoint. Boulder does not have a reputation for being southern and i was completely thrown when google led me to a house. i saw the tables outside on the porch but i was a little like do i just go in? do i wait? like you don't just go waltzing into a house there is just something about a restaurant in a house that screams come on in and sit a spell and wait for meemaws supper or breakfast ! we ordered hoe cakes and our favorite cheese grits and the food came rather quickly. the waitress was friendly and the jams and sauces were homemade and you could tell. there is one kinda unusual thing about this place and that is when you pay its a dollar more if you use a credit card. not sure if thats tip or if its the restaurants way of covering the service fees associated with credit cards

Solid southern comfort food in a very cozy atmosphere. Huge portions,beignets and chicory coffee were the stand out dishes

Lucile’s is a wonderful place for brunch! They have the best trout and eggs I've ever had, and I love the fresh, warm biscuits with homemade jams. Plus, fresh-squeezed OJ is always a nice way to start the day.

Flawless presentation, impeccable service, and exquisite flavors. Pretty much everything you want when you make a dinner reservation. Came into town from Austin with my daughter and sat at the chef’s bar which was a great experience for her to see the behind the scenes magic that goes into the details of executing a perfect plate. Cannot recommend dinner at Blackbelly more…a true gem.

Really just an all around wonderful dining experience. Myself and my team spent a week in Boulder. We all agreed this was our favorite restaurant 🍽️ and we visited some really good places 👍. The overall ambiance is wonderful with a locker of meat showing 👀. The bar in the back was very quaint 😊. The star of the show was the food for sure. Excellent flavors. Everything cooked just perfectly. The service was on point and very well done. I had some very delicious scallops. I know it might be odd to order at a beef place, but they were excellent and I was in the mood for some. Very moist and delicious. Not cooked too long. Just an excellent dish. We had several appetizers, an amazing bread and a wonderful beef tartar. The menu even satisfied our vegetarian team member. I assure you you will enjoy this place for its food and everything else.

Outstanding food, delicious dishes, good service. Tables are rather small and positioned way too close together, noise level was quite high. Wine prices are rather high: steak, lamb and pork dishes were outstanding. Focaccia was great, fresh and warm, just pieces of it were humongous, so we had to break them apart ourselves. Tip of 6% for kitchen was included on the bill.

Best food in town! They have their own dry age cooler. All the meats are great. The service is great. Ambience is great. Can’t say anything bad about this place. Must try!

Just fine. Was it bad? No. Was it overly flavorful and beckoning for me to return? No. Got the Bahn Mi and the Wagyu Beef sandwich. The wagyu was pretty forgettable and the bahn mi wasn’t too much better. Forgot the soup and had to remind them when the food was dropped off (no big deal). But, the flavor of the food doesn’t align with the cost. There are other $17 sub sandwiches that I’d choose over blackbelly.

Visited: Mid-May 2025 | Dinner | Party of 2 Blackbelly in Boulder (with its Denver outpost now drawing buzz) carries weight--not only from its reputation as a whole-animal, sustainable operation, but also from its Michelin Green Star nod for sustainability. Naturally, expectations were high. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to the hype. Starters: Overpowered and Underwhelming We began with the Roasted Bone Marrow, which came sparsely portioned. Only about half of the bone contained marrow--arguably normal, but not ideal when paired with two pieces of overly oily toast. The pickled onions were aggressively acidic, dominating rather than complementing the dish. The Chicharrones were... fine. Just fine. Crisp and salty, but forgettable. Not a starter that leaves an impression or sets the tone for a special meal. Mains: Long Wait, Little Reward We waited nearly 40 minutes for our mains--an unusually long delay with no clear explanation. The Crispy Pig Ears, which I was genuinely excited about, were a letdown. As a longtime fan of this ingredient, I found the deep-frying and sugary red pepper jelly completely obliterated the subtle, gelatinous texture and flavor pig ears are celebrated for. In the end, the ears became just a vehicle for the jelly. The result? A dish that could've been made with anything and tasted the same. The 5oz Buckner Loin (lamb) didn't fare much better. Though ordered medium and appearing cooked accordingly, it somehow tasted dry and under-seasoned, lacking the richness or tenderness good lamb should deliver. The accompanying crispy sweetbreads were charred to the point of bitterness--blackened, dry, and tasting closer to burnt wood than delicacy. Presentation-wise, the dish lacked any visual appeal. And at $55 for the loin alone, the price felt unjustified--especially when you compare it to equally-priced signature mains in fine dining institutions. Drink & Service Notes The strawberry mocktail was delightful--bright, balanced, and refreshing. A rare bright spot in an otherwise unremarkable meal. Service was warm and attentive overall, although we were handed a set of dirty tongs, which felt out of place in a restaurant of this price point and prestige. We dined outdoors, so I can't comment on the interior atmosphere, but the patio was comfortable. Final Thoughts Our bill also included a 6% kitchen surcharge, which diners should be aware of--especially when value already feels questionable. In the end, while Blackbelly's mission is admirable and its service professional, the execution in the kitchen fell flat across the board. It's hard to reconcile the restaurant's accolades with the actual experience. Perhaps we caught them on an off night, but with so many exceptional dining options in Denver, I wouldn't rush back.

What an amazing place! My brother insisted we take my dad here for his 79th birthday. Everything from service, to ambiance, and especially the food was amazing. We were able to try a variety of dishes by sharing plates. They are also wonderful with allergies. They took care of my celiacs like pros. One of the most impressive dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. This is our new place for all special occasions!

Zoe Ma Ma is a great spot for a flavorful and satisfying meal. We tried the Dan Dan noodles and the pork belly with rice, and both dishes were packed with great flavor. The noodles had just the right amount of spice and richness, while the pork belly was tender and paired perfectly with the rice. Portions were generous, and everything felt fresh and well-prepared. It’s the kind of place that hits the spot when you’re craving something hearty and comforting.

My husband and I shared: - Dan Dan Main - Cold Sesame Noodles - Pork Belly Bao - Roast Duck Bao - Pearl Meatball - Ma Ma's Potstickers - Vegan Dumplings - Goji Berry & Raisin Rice Cake I found this spot to be a little inconsistent. I absolutely loved the Goji Berry & Raisin Rice Cake, Pearl Meatball, both baos, and the potstickers. These could complete with the best Asian food I've had anywhere. The bigger dishes were a little disappointing to me. They weren't bad, but they weren't nearly as good as the smaller plates for me. I'd still happily come back to try the rest of the menu.

I tried Zoe Ma Ma in Boulder and ordered the chicken pho it was pretty good! The broth on its own was okay, but the toppings and seasonings you can add yourself really made it better. I also got the dumplings, but they weren’t as good as I was expecting. The service was okay, though it took quite a while for my order to be ready. Just a heads-up when you come in, you order at the counter, pick your own seat, and they’ll call your name when your food is ready. Overall, not bad for a casual spot, but a few things could’ve been better.

Tasty food at a reasonable price right on Pearl. I love the menu's simplicity which is based on the owner's mom's signature Taiwanese recipes. I also love that it's served on simple plates. It lets the food speak for itself. Super yummy. We ordered the Stir-fry Garlic Choy Sum and added chicken to it and the Pork Belly Bao and Roast Duck Bao. It wasn't too busy when we went, but I could see it getting crowded.

I ordered the Dan Dan Mian which was good. The forced 15% tip was very disappointing since you order like a fast food place here. Counter order and they don’t even bring your food or silverware to your table.

Wow! What a unique take on the traditional Chinese food! There's no sweet and sour chicken here! I had no idea about Chinese curry and many of the other delicious items on the menu. We also loved that they don't charge extra for tips like most places do now. The service was great, the place was clean, and the food was delicious.

We got the duck wonton soup, the Lu Ro Fan, and the pot stickers. The wonton soup broth was not as salty/umami as I would have liked, but the duck was tender and the wontons were yummy. The rice dish was tasty. We both were unimpressed with the potstickers. The service was very nice and informative on recommendations. The interior is also very nice.

Ordered a bacon cheddar burger and received just a hamburger. Had to ask for cheese and bacon to be added, and of course the cheese was cold. Then started in on my fries which were barely cooked, and there was one fry that wasn't cooked at all. Look at my accompanying pictures! Do your self a favor and eat a burger someplace else that values your business!

Ate here the other day and it was amazing, so I decided eat here again. This time it wasn’t as good. The didn’t have the mushroom burger and I had to wait for them to make turkey burgers (which wasn’t the issue). My burger and bun were both burnt and it came with onions when I ordered it without and they forgot the pickles on one and no sauce on both of the burgers. Also Boulder just mandated that all people have to wear masks while inside (vaccinated or not) and only one employee had a mask on. They were also more concerned about how much money they made for the day and that another employee forgot to clock out. Hopefully it will get better the next time I’m visiting Boulder.

This was my first time visiting Larkburger and I had heard good things about it. I ordered truffle fries and a milkshake. The fries were soggy/not crisp but otherwise tasted good. The milkshake looked small so I asked a worker if it actually was 16 oz., as advertised. He said that they received new cups so he wasn't actually sure. I compared at home to a 16 oz. cup and discovered that the milkshake was maybe 12 oz. For the price, I didn't get what I ordered.

This was my first time visiting Larkburger and it'll likely be my last. While walking home from work, I decided I didn't feel like cooking and that a burger would be better. I regret that decision. My burger fell apart almost immediately and I ended up having to eat it in pieces. The fries I got were tiny little crunchy bits with very few pieces that I could actually pick up and dip in ketchup. Also, the box the fries came in wasn't folded right, so the tiny overcooked bits kept falling out the bottom and I didn't even get a full portion since the bottom flap of the box took up as much space as the fries did. I will say, whatever brand of root beer they have is absolutely delicious. The half-portion of fries I got (at full cost) seemed like the leftovers of whatever batch had been cooked previously. The burger, while tasting all right, was a disaster. I've attached a picture showing both the unintentionally deconstructed burger and the garbage half portion of fries. One star, and that's being generous.

When they are cooked properly, the burgers are delicious, but this location has a serious problem with cooking them to any consistent standard. Some days, medium is well done, sometimes it is rare, almost raw (not surprising considering how quickly they cook a 1/3lb burger). Only once out of my past 4 visits was actually medium. I dont really want to return to this location at the risk of a barely edible $8 burger. I added a picture of my most recent medium.

I just got a burger here to go and it was completely raw even though I ordered medium. I called to get a refund but their voicemail was full so I could not. I have to say their fries were fantastic but were completely overshadowed by the raw meat.

I got The bacon 🥓 Cheddar burger 🍔 with a side of edemame. Burger Was Great. I liked you could pick how you wanted it cooked I chose medium well. Great meal but pricey. 10$ burger. I guess everything so expensive now sucks.

I just paid for a burrito the size of a soda can, what a joke. It looked like someone rolled up a child’s portion and called it a meal. If I wanted to be hungry again in 10 minutes, I’d have just eaten a granola bar. Save your money and go somewhere that doesn’t skimp on portions like they’re rationing supplies. I expected it to taste mediocre, as it typically does here, but this was a robbery.

Maybe it was the time of day or..? The food as always=excellent. Although it's been almost 10 yrs since I last ate here as I'd moved away. The staff was less than attentive and maybe it's just the "new level expected of customer service" which is just above automaton automated robot service...but still, the credit card prompts you to tip regardless of the actual "SERVICE" you receive. The atmosphere was quiet and only 2-4 other guests were present. The place was very clean and well organized and a i said, food was excellent, that's what really matters.

We shared the chicken bowl with white rice, grilled chicken, black beans, cheese, black olives and cilantro and it came with a side of chips. The chicken seemed overcooked and a little chewy. All the other ingredients were great. We did arrive later in the evening for dinner. It felt like the college town near campus restaurant where the staff are partially dialed in but friendly. Great location on Pearl Street Mall. There’s only two tables outside facing Pearl Street. Street parking only. If you park about three blocks away it’s free parking.

My son and I are visiting from Portland and stopped in here last night for dinner. Jacob was super friendly and recommended us the taco night when we said we were looking for vegetarian options. 10/10 would come back just to chat with him again.

Very disappointed with my experience here. Stopped in during the work day for a quick bite to eat. We weren’t greeted by anyone, there were two employees standing at the cashier stand(mind you we’re were the only people in store). After standing at the counter for a while, any pregnant pause, without being acknowledged someone from the back came up asking the employees at cashier id one of them could help us. One of the employees sucked their teeth and rolled their eyes right in-front of us, absolutely appalling. Left us feeling uncomfortable as if we were a bother the rest of the entire interaction. Why have a job in customer service if you don’t want to be there? It’d only been 30 minutes since they’d been there it’s not like they’d been working all day, I mean come on! Have some dignity & respect for yourself and others. The food was fine but all I could think about was the nastiness from the employee.

First time eating here, awesome food!

Love the place and highly recommend the Baja fish burrito. The burrito came in an overly toasted tortilla but it still had great taste.

We consider this restaurant the “Crown Jewel” of Boulder and the Denver area. In two days, we tried everything on the menu and were consistently impressed by its taste and presentation. The only picture we took was of the deviled eggs. We devoured the food so quickly that pictures became an afterthought. The staff was pleasant, professional, and understood the restaurant’s mission. After 2 days we became friends and it felt like we knew them for 20 years. We truly hope our paths cross again! Hats off to Maddie, Gabby, Rob, and Nos (chef) - with all our adoration, Jennifer, Steve “The Grad,” and Matthew from Chicago!

We enjoyed the dinner here with our 13-year-old son on a Friday night. We sat in the back patio area which featured live music from a guitar player. We appreciated that the music was a nice volume that did not overwhelm conversation. Food quality and preparation was solid. The service was excellent. Ambience is really nice with the lighting and decor. A really nicely done small restaurant that has good food with a casual vibe.

river and woods has quickly become my new favorite dinner spot in boulder. the menu is so creative and delicious — every dish feels thoughtful and full of flavor. the atmosphere is warm, inviting, and perfectly boulder with its mix of cozy and modern. the staff makes you feel right at home, and it’s the kind of place you want to linger over dinner with friends or a glass of wine. truly a gem that i can’t wait to return to again and again.

We booked a large party for a birthday celebration. Four of our party was running late and as a courtesy we let them know. One person did not order food - at this point they came out and announced we would be charged $20 for any adult who did not eat. When we asked to see the policy/speak to the manager, they said they would skip that charge, but we would be charged for any seats that weren't filled. They repeatedly sent our waitress back to speak with us, versus having a manager speak to us. When she finally came out, she said they could have sat other people, and it wasnt fair to the restaurant if we had a table for 15 but only had 13 people present. There are open tables as I write this. There were open tables the entire time. The food was okay. My duck wings were cold in the middle but the flavor was good. The food was not delivered until after this altercation, which was 100 minutes AFTER our reservation (and several of us were here early). That's over an hour and a half we had 2 empty seats they intended to charge us for when they weren't serving our food. We checked the website, the menu, the reservation confirmation. There is NOTHING that said we would have a $20 penalty for any seats empty, for adults not eating, or for any other issues. I will never, for any reason, eat at this restaurant again. They tried to bring the check before half the table was even served. And if you want to make an arbitrary rule half way through our meal, have the backbone to come speak with us and not send the waitress back over and over with different ways to charge us money for things we haven't done or didn't order. Terrible service. Food was cold. Management was rude. But hey, there seems to be a table at any time.... Also? There was an "upcharge" for getting anything besides mustard or ketchup on the burger. Not just cheese - lettuce, tomatoes and pickles were extra. This place is a joke.

First time in Boulder and we found this gem of a restaurant via Google Maps. We dined at the bar and felt right at home with Maddie & Rob. I had a great start with a Manhattan made with Redwood Empire Rye. It got better from there! We had Duck Wings (which were so good) to start and moved to the Rocky Mountain River Trout and the Pasture Raised Chicken. Maddie paired up a beautiful Nivarius Tempranillo Blanco that was spot on for both the trout and the chicken. We finished with the Chocolate Mousse paired with a Castro Ventosa Spanish red. This was a food and wine lovers primo experience! The trout and sides were outstanding and the chicken dish with the greens was excellent. Maddie knows her wines and has some tasty and interesting choices. Pro tip, book a dinner for two at the bar! We will come back! Sorry, no photos of trout and chicken as we were into the meal.

Almost magical - every bite was special and the flavors were delicious and very intentional. The best item on the forage board appetizer was a fish salad. We tried the trout entree, gnocchi, and duck gumbo. Each was truly delicious and thoughtfully assembled. The trout was cooked perfectly, the gnocchi were divine and served with a lemony sauce that was bright and delightful. The "gumbo" was savory and delicious, although not much like a classic gumbo. We enjoyed the smokes for dessert and some tasty drinks too.

This place is truly magical. The food, service, and ambiance—the entire vibe is incredible. I'll take more and better pictures next time because, wow. I can't wait to return.

I'm so happy to discover this gem of a restaurant! The food is fresh and excellent, pasta cooked perfectly, and the eggplant Parmesan is the best I've had in Colorado. This is a family owned business and has been here for 25 years - don't hesitate just go! But make reservations - it's small and bustling and was full of happy diners!

Excellent food. We went there during lunch hours. Kinda buffet style where you get to pick one of the vegetables, one choice of lasagna and sauce per plate. All the vegetables are very tasty. We only had one choice of vegetarian lasagna on the day we went. However they said we can call them in the morning and find out the menu. Their food is out of this world. Lasagna was very tasty Update : April 2025 We went there during our visit to Boulder. Still love their food.

Everything was delicious and fresh and the staff and owner were so warm and inviting. The restaurant itself is also really cute. It can def get busy so recommend making a reservation for a bigger party. I got the pesto cream pappardelle soooo good ❤️

Delightful dinner with a beautiful environment. Everyone there took care of each table beautifully. The food was excellent and left me full! Will definitely be recommending to others and coming back again.

Some of the best Italian food I’ve ever tasted. We sampled the gnocchi with Alfredo pesto sauce, the lamb with polenta and the Papperdelle Paglia e Fieno Portofino, which I highly recommend. All the pastas and sauces are made fresh and the variety is impressive. You’ll most likely meet the owner and his son who make the rounds ensuring you are enjoying your meal.

My husband and I had a great dining experience at the bar. The owners were especially nice and accommodating. We did not have reservations, but they are usually important. My husband had a delicious fettuccine. I had a half order of spaghetti with 1 meatball. Everything was so tasty. We wish we had room for dessert which was reasonably priced as well. This is the place for homemade Italian food when one is in Boulder. We came all the way from Chicago for this wonderful Italian restaurant.

The Gazpacho Soup was heavenly! It was velvety in texture and had the best flavors with hints of herbs. The fresh toppings finished it off perfectly.

Great breakfast spot in Boulder! Very friendly service- Perla took great care of us. My husband loves corned beef hash and thought theirs was very classic and delicious! I am a biscuits and gravy fan and it was really good too. Great coffee, great prices- we will be back!

The food here is pretty good and then cappuccino I ordered was very delicious. Everything on the menu is very affordable and well priced. The menu has an extensive breakfast and Mexican style food menu.

Fantastic breakfast stop in Boulder CO. Had an amazing divorce menu featuring Mexican & traditional American dishes. The chicken fried steak is sharable ( due to portion size), and fantasticly flavorful. The biscuits and gravy were on point, the biscuit was fluffy with a crisp bottom and the gravy had a little kick of spice making it memorable and tasty. The mexan hash browns are great but ask for a flour tortilla on the side to sop up all the delicious sauce. Had a great chai latte as well as a smooth and just the right amount of sweet/chocolate mocha. Overall this is a crowd pleasing restaurant that's nice on the pocket book as well. ❤️👍👍

Passing through town and based on other reviews had to try it. Now I see why there’s so many 5 star reviews! AMAZING breakfast (even the pancake syrup was warm)! Had their Parkway potatoes, eggs, refried beans and ham. (And stole a pancake from my husband’s plate). Perfect in my opinion!

Extremely good! Just found out about this place after living in Boulder for about a year, and I’ll be back often. My new favorite breakfast place, the Mexican hashbrowns and chorizo was amazing, along with both the green and red chili.

I love this place. The service has been exceptional every time I have visited. Their menu has a lot of highlights for both breakfast and lunch with a good array of Mexican offerings. My only complaint is that they have little to no knowledge about gluten free food. We asked for a Byron gluten free bread that they offered but when the kitchen couldn’t find it they used a regular bun and the fries had a wheat coating even though we were assured they didn’t. I would recommend it to anyone who didn’t have dietary allergies.

My to-go spot for a delicious breakfast! The special today was the Barbacoa omelette.

I had been excited to try this place for sometime now and I’m glad I did but I do not think I will be returning. I felt like everything left something to be desired… menu, food, service, etc… Not bad by any means just not great and more so just fine! Tenders were extra crispy but the French onion soup was on the sweet end. I would check it out for yourself!

The atmosphere is warm and inviting. Very “pub”. The waiter was absent and never once refilled drinks. The food was burnt and bland. The house burger was burnt but inside was pink so the cook doesn’t understand temps. The fish and chips were also burnt and the oil tasted old. I had the toad in a hole and the “Yorkshire Pudding” was also burnt. The hash-browns were literally tater tots that had been smashed up and served lol I mean really? The French onion soup broth, delicious. Once you got past the burnt bread and cheese on top. I didn’t realize they cooked via surface of the sun. The fries were old. I mean black spotted, sitting out for a while, old potatoes. I ate a bite of each item on my plate but nothing more. It was inedible. I told them I didn’t like it and they just apologized. While not required, comping it since it wasn’t eaten, would’ve been nice to at least offer. They authentically suck. I added a photo of the smashed tater tots because honestly, it cracked me up lol. Spending $118 on 4 people, and not being able to eat your meal, is wild. Go there to drink and hang out. Not for the food.

Delicious burger! I loved the very English pub atmosphere. A pint of Old Speckled Hen was icing on the cake.

I used to love this place. Sad to see it going so downhill. The shepherds pie used to be amazing, but it was just so bland and gross this time. The waitress was terrible. I ordered a Guinness and she brought it to me in a mug. When I asked her why she didn’t bring it in a Guinness pint glass, she seemed confused. If you’re going to try to be an authentic pub, the least you could do is serve Guinness in a Guinness pint glass. There’s a reason why it’s shaped the way it is. Will definitely not be returning again.

This place was amazing the food was incredible and the staff was very friendly I will definitely be coming back

We have been going to The Toad for 32 years. It’s rare that we don’t run in to someone we know who is also dining there. Our son grew up going to The Toad. The new owners have made it even better. We recently had a small family gathering and reserved a table through the on- line system. No problem! Our table for 7 was ready for us. As always, great food and service. What a Boulder treasure!

Came here for a office happy hour, was so happy with the pricing, service and food. The vibe was very cozy but fun and felt very true to the British pub. Absolutely would go back!

Good selection of unique truffles. I bought the strawberry balsamic chocolate and it was good, though I couldn’t taste much strawberry flavor (heavier flavor profile towards dark chocolate and balsamic). Staff did not seem very friendly or helpful, but we got what we ordered just fine.

Stepping into Piece love Chocolate is a truly delightful escape! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with cute, quiet vibes that make it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a treat. And oh, the treats! I can honestly say their Caramel Mocha is hands down the best I have ever had. It’s perfectly balanced, not too sweet, with that wonderful rich caramel flavor dancing with the coffee. I've been searching for a mocha this good for ages, and I've finally found it. Beyond the incredible drinks, I also had the pleasure of attending their macaron class, and it was a fantastic experience. It was well-taught, fun, and left me feeling like a macaron master (or at least, well on my way!). The staff guiding the class were patient and lovely, making the whole time a joy. This place is more than just a bakery; it's a sweet little haven. Whether you're looking for an incredible coffee, a quiet place to unwind, or a fun and engaging class, you won't be disappointed. I can't recommend it highly enough!

Cannot thank you guys enough for this cake! It was a wonderful surprise for my newly engaged friend, and the chocolate vanilla bean cake was incredible. Could not have asked for a more perfect cake!

I can’t recommend this chocolatier highly enough! I called with a last-minute request for over 400 truffles to hand out at a conference, and Lola was absolutely fantastic to work with. The communication was seamless, the turnaround time was incredible, and the willingness to go above and beyond was out of this world. The chocolates were a huge hit with everyone: beautifully made, delicious, and exactly what we needed to make an impression. I coordinated everything remotely, and from placing the order to delivering the treats into attendees’ hands, it was a smooth, stress-free, and successful experience. Thank you, thank you! We will absolutely be back when we're in Boulder again (and will plan ahead this time)!

I was attending a bachelorette party that would have a chocolate charcuterie board, so I googled chocolate store between Estes Park and Golden, whered I'd be staying. I wouldn't say I ordered too much because you can never have enough, but I did order quite a bit. They were so patient with me as I made all the important truffle making decisions. BTW I highly recommend the pistachio eclair.

The chocolates are pretty but super overpriced. We got 8 different flavors and we could barely taste anything but the chocolate. I also got a chocolate covered pretzel (not worth it) and an almond lace cookie (this was just okay). We also got a few macarons, which were pretty good. But it really says something about a chocolate place where the non chocolate items taste better than the actual chocolate.

All the desserts and chocolate truffles looked great. We tried Tiramisu, which was amazing, and Pistachio Eclair, which didn't really excite me, even though I love pistachio desserts. The atmosphere of the store was nice, and the service was very pleasant. The prices are higher, but that probably won't surprise you in downtown Boulder. Yeah, try it!

Amazing food, I had the lunch buffet and I was very impressed. Not only was the food delicious but the staff was friendly and the atmosphere was great. An overall stellar experience I would recommend to anybody. Please go.

Not very impressed with the food or the service. The attendent came in straight and asked for the order. Surprised to see no greeting or anything. Then came the food - none of them tasted good. It's a Nepali restaurant (at least the name is) but did not really have any Nepali cuisine options.

Indian Buffet. Need I say more? When you need a quick delicious meal, this place is awesome! When you want a chill space to dine and talk it’s great too. Dishes are always hot and salad station always has fresh salad. Good dessert options to complete the meal.

We went to have asian food here in September 2025, it was late in the evening and the moment we entered the restaurant it felt homely and cozy The aesthetics are very authentic and the food was decent as well. We had chicken momo and repeated the order

I love this restaurant. The buffet has lots of great vegetarian and vegan choices and even a brown rice option, even though that’s not traditional Nepalese food. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. They also have cool videos from Nepal on the TV. I’ve been to Nepal twice, and I always feel I’ve dropped back in for a little visit when I eat at Kathmandu II.

So many delicious vegan and GF options here! Thank you!

!WARNING: Your stomach will double in size from not being able to stop eating all the delicious buffet food! Incredible flavor. I was so stuffed, but there's always room for ice cream. Had a bowl of ice cream and put some mango custard on top. It was divine. If you're a local, take advantage of having such a yummy place in town. I would frequent Kathmandu if I lived closer. Now go enjoy!

6/5/25 Update: I have received a refund. Update: I sent an email to marketing on May 27th as suggested by the owner and a week later have not received a response or refund. On May 8th, I placed an order in the app and when I showed up at the restaurant, they were very busy. After waiting well past the time the order said it would be ready in the app, I decided to cancel the order. The app said I needed to call the restaurant so I walked over to the cashier and asked to cancel my order. He took my name and I was assured me that I would receive a refund. After leaving, I realized that he hadn't taken the order number, so I called. The person who answered said they didn't need the order number and I was again assured that I would get a refund. Three weeks later, I have not received a refund.

If you're looking for a pretty good sandwich you are at the spot. Prices were ok. Sat outside at a table that had more rock than a concert but the sub was good. Overall a very decent place.

Very good sandwiches. Terrible customer service. There is simply too much good local competition to recommend when: -There are no order updates -Service 50 percent slower than projected -No where to wait comfortably -Overworked crew has no time to respond to questions -Baskets laying around floor to trip you -Tables dirty So, great food, the rest is terrible. The staff really tried, but they help and better systems.

A sub shop that is a bit like Potbelly's but on steroids, with better bread and more choices. The sandwiches are big and can be configured in many ways with all sorts of sides from chips to potato salads. The service is friendly, professional, and speedy, even when busy. The prices are high but fall within the new normal, especially considering the location.

90% of the time- great service. One time sandwich makers must not have been feeling good. I usually get the tuna which is super yummy. Chicken has been reliably good as well. For a basic sandwich shop it’s perfect.

$15 for a dry, cold, French dip with room temp au jus. Chips and a drink would’ve put the meal at $20! WITHOUT A TIP (and they do ask for tips). Remember when subs used to be affordable?

The gluten-free was really good not many gluten-free breads are worth eating, but would definitely eat there again being gluten-free

I'm giving it 3 stars instead of 2 as I have recieved better food in the past from here. Last night's order was terrible. The orange chicken tasted very heavy on the grease like it had been fried twice and it was over cooked. The chicken fried rice was also very small and had what looked like frozen chicken from the schools lunch room in it. Over all my husband and I still don't feel well today due to all the grease. I won't be ordering from here again. Price was also very high even in today's world. Do yourself a favor and eat from home.

My sister’s 12th birthday was a few days ago and all she wanted was to come here. We come here all the time and the food and service is great. I love the sesame chicken, and for vegetarians or tofu lovers the sesame tofu is amazing the tofus texture and flavor are on point. 5 star totally would recommend this place to anyone and everyone.

Delicious with a wide variety of options! The only Chinese restaurant my very picky Asian parents will go to in Boulder. My favorites are the mapo tofu and the spicy beef with veggies. And noodles!

I have been coming here for 30+ years. I love the sesame chicken and shrimp in Lobster sauce. China gourmet is the best Chinese food in Boulder and beyond. Highly recommended, simple, the best!

I eat here fairly often (1X per week), it's good food. It's not traditional authentic Chinese, it's American Chinese. There are other places in Boulder if you want that, they also cost more. Every time I go here, the dining area is mostly full and the people in the kitchen are happy and helpful. It's food, don't overthink it!

Just not good. It’s expensive and you can’t order veggies or noodles cause they are not good and lack flavor. We ordered Mongolian Beef and it was practically ALL onion, very little beef for about $20. The only thing worth getting was the orange chicken and even that was mediocre at best.

The disappointment in my brother’s face is from the $13 combo fried rice size and a total of TWO shrimp. As for myself, my Mongolian beef with lite onions and fried rice was good. Overpriced in my opinion, but it’s Boulder. North Boulder at that. This order came out to $32 plus tax. *As I was writing the review and eating, the fork literally snapped in half. 4 stars to 3 just for the pour cutlery.

Great spot in Boulder! The place is super cool and laid-back. The burger was really tasty—though it could’ve been a bit bigger. They have a very diverse drink menu with cocktails for every taste. Prices are excellent, and the location is perfect. The restaurant is pretty small, so we ended up sharing a big table with others, but it wasn’t a problem. The service was fantastic, and it’s definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for a place to grab a quick bite or try some unique drinks.

Would really give this place 3.5 stars. Drinks, atmosphere and staff are great. Food is a bit more hit and miss. Plus it doesn't really fit the theme of the place. Fixing their food would definitely increase their star count. Having said all this I would definitely be back for drinks again..

Awesome tiki bar with quality cocktails. Had the Romaine Calm, Dijon Sanders, and house Mai Tai. The sunflower seed orgeat in the Mai Tai was truly 'chef's kiss', could easily pound the Romaine Calm, and the Dijon was a fun savory experience.

couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend a saturday afternoon than at Jungle. I stumbled upon it while cruising around Boulder, and happy I did. Such a great atmosphere and the staff was so kind. I’ll be back!

Food was actually pretty great, as were the drinks. Got seated right away, found out it was some celebration or something for the establishment. Ordered drinks and an appetizer, which were great and came out quick. Waitress didn't check in for another 45 minutes. Eventually, another waitress came by and grabbed our orders for entrees. A Warning about the Shrimp Skewers, the metal on the skewer is fresh off the fire. Should've thought about this, but it was just dropped on the table, so I didn't. Got a small second degree fingertip burn from the skewer which... I should've realized it was hot, but there was also no way to eat without grabbing the skewer. I chalk that 50/50. Usually I'd grab some ice or something and it'd be a non-issue, but after 45 minutes we had no drinks or water, and thus no ice. Never did actually get a refill on the water, and would've liked to place a second drink order, but never got the chance. Gave up eventually and had to flag down another waitress to get our check. It's not a bad place, but our particular experience was not great. Again, food/drinks/decor are great, and maybe during a normal day things would've been fine, but we didn't get much by way of service.

Amazing drinks that taste like the classics, not overly sweet syrupy modern takes on them. The food was outstanding with plantain fritters that were out of this world. Great service too!

Best burgers in town and of course the drinks are fantastic. All the staff are welcoming and kind. By far my favorite place to grab drinks and food in Boulder.

Easily one of my favorite restaurants in Colorado. I randomly stumbled upon this location when I lived near the Boulder area in 2019. I now live out of state but will easily travel out of my way to make it for a meal here when I’m in the area. I can remember doing takeout multiple times a week to support them during covid. I’ve always received speedy service & the food is always delicious. The sweet chili glazed sweet potatoes are seriously my favorite side along with their mac & cheese. I’ll always be a fan & it’s a refreshing place to receive whole foods & fresh ingredients.

My friends and I decided to stop in for an early dinner. I'm gluten, dairy and soy free but a carnivore and two others are vegan. The cashier was knowledgeable about food allergens, there were no issues with cross contamination. My friend who doesn't have food allergies got the gluten free Mac and cheese and enjoyed it. I had the Peruvian braised beef without the salsa and I also tasted the cauliflower risotto and chili sesame sweet potatoes. I also had the lemon olive oil cupcake and the sangria that had guava. We all enjoyed our meals and this is a great place to keep in mind of you have food sensitivities, are a carnivore, vegan or vegetarian.

Absolutely delicious! Menu notes if dish is vegan, vegetarian or GF for every item. I got the glow bowl, cauliflower kung pow and a beer. I would eat this these dishes every day they were so good! For someone with lots of food sensitivities, I felt very welcome with many choices that I didn’t need to alter. Outdoor seating, patio seating with rain block and indoor dining.

Amazing food! Hubby likes the Enchilada bowl and I like the Asian Noodle one. (Sauce on the side and add shrimp.) This is our second favorite place in Boulder and we go here at least twice when we're in town. Fun teas are a bonus. Strongly recommend.

Flower Child in Boulder is such a refreshing spot! The food is not only delicious but also feels healthy and thoughtfully prepared. I love that there are so many options for all kinds of diets—vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free—yet everything tastes amazing no matter what you choose. The atmosphere is bright, welcoming, and uplifting, making it a perfect place for a casual meal or even a quick bite on the go. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and the service feels genuine. It’s one of those places where you leave feeling good about what you ate and the overall experience. Definitely one of my go-to favorites in Boulder!

I'm a regular at Flower Child and usually have a good experience with the food. Unfortunately, yesterday's experience was not great. I was surprised by how quickly our food came out but then I realized why. I ordered the Forbidden Rice bowl with chicken and the vegetables were completely raw- hard, crunchy, not cooked at all. Broccoli, carrots, pea pods, etc. The chicken looked like it had been placed on top and did not seem to be part of the dish. I am sure there is lots of staff turnover in the kitchen, so perhaps someone hadn't been trained to make this dish.

Ordered at the counter. The staff let me see there for over 20 minutes waiting for my food before I decided to check the online ordered table. This was not an online order, and everyone else got their names called and their food brought out. Once I got home and opened my food, I discovered that I spent over $20 on 2 bites of salmon thrown into cold mashed potatoes looks like it’s been sitting out for several hours. Disgusted and disappointed

i just to eat here very frequently when i lived in boulder. but today i ordered a bagel sandwich and the bagel wasn’t toasted?? i’m not sure who wants a raw bagel with their sandwich but wasted my money. also their sign said that the spicy buff was the special for thursday and she still charged me full price for it. employees not very friendly either.

I LOVE Moe's Bagels. Always Fresh and good. Vegetarian choices are on point! Healthy grab and go breakfast and other goodies like homemade cookies. Of course the bagels are made by Moes. The employees always happy! Every one wins!!

I grew up on Moe’s bagels and to say the least this place is going downhill. My girlfriend and I went in a few days ago to grab something quick for lunch and had the exact opposite. It took me about 20 minutes to get my simple bagel and my girlfriend 15 to get her burrito. By the time we finally got our food the eggs tasted horribly overcooked. The employees looked like they hated their lives and job which I completely understand after having worked in the food industry myself but not acknowledging the fact that a family of 7 got their food before us was beyond me. Moe’s I truly hope you get better at remembering what people order and not just letting people stand around waiting for a simple order for over 20 minutes while talking amongst each other.

Been Moe's customer for many many years. I'm very happy you guys are paying your employees a living wage and do not take tips. But with that, your $$ per item went up and quality of service went down unfortunately. Really just gone downhill in the last year or so. I get the same Manhattan on sesame every time, and on the last 5 visits I have gotten everything else but not my order. Often its a new Yorker, or a wrong bagel, or missing egg, missing tomato, missing salmon once. Just never comes out right event when the place is slow. My boyfriend has been a customer 20+ years, grew up with Moe's. And same deal - he gets a simple egg and cheddar on plain bagel, toasted. You would think there's no way to mess it up. But wait - just today - he got sesame and not a toasted bagel. You guys im just disappointed. I know its hard to find staff that care but you guys being a staple of boulder shpuld at least try. Just super sad seeing this place failing. I hope it gets better for ya

Good old Moe's was a favorite haunt when I went to school at CU in the '90s and it's still pretty much the same. As busy as ever and bagel breakfast sandwich was exactly as it used to be. The garlic bagels are amazing!

This was my favorite place for 2 years until I moved further from the location. Decided to stop over the weekend when I was in the area and was super excited. Got a breakfast sandwich to go (spicy buff), when I went to eat it, the bagel wasn't toasted at all, assembly was a mess. It was soo disappointing to have a cold bagel, never ever had to ask for it toasted when getting a speciality sandwich in the past and it's really annoying when you are paying $16 for one sandwich!!

I put a preorder in and when I got there the lobby was empty. My order was still not ready for 20 minutes. I dont know if the staff is too tired, but to me it seemed like they were all to high to make to their jobs in a timely fashion. They proceeded to help everyone that came in but didnt work on the preorder they had for 20 minutes. The food came out so greasy they couldnt give me my receipt and I was late for work

I've been eating here on occasion for years. A great stop for lunch that I always try to get when passing through boulder. I don't know why anyone would eat anywhere else honestly.They makes the absolute best tortas I've ever had! And the additional sauces gratis are fire fire!

Ordered the Veggie Farm Quesadilla. Got given the Veggie Farm Tacos instead. They did offer to remake the correct item, but the rest of our family's order was already up, so it was either eat the wrong item or miss eating with my family. I accepted the wrong food and now I wish I'd just asked for a refund instead. Totally flavorless. Plain veggies sauteed in vegetable oil, no seasonings, no taste. Would not pick this food truck ever again. 16 bucks plus tax and tip, for a meal I ate two bites of, then threw away.

Great taco truck, will come again for sure.

The best food truck around these parts!!!! These guys have awesome food and even better prices. Huge portions for your money. These guys are going to run all the other food trucks out of business. My company has also got their food catered - it’s awesome. You get a lot of food for the money. Really good quality too. Everything I’ve had from these guys is delicious. Highly recommend!!!!

Wow!!! The tacos blew me away. Quick service and great value. Al pastor tacoes were marinated and cooked to perfection. Five tacos was the perfect portion size for lunch.

Food is meh and the service kinda sucks. Not friendly at all. Probably won't order from again since there's an over abundance of Mexican food trucks everywhere. Very expensive Also.

Solid food. The al pastor tacos are good, but not my favorite. The tamales are really good, although the green chili is just spciy without having much flavor.

I will say I was a little skeptical at first, expecting the usual dry, flavorless, and gritty texture that comes with the ultra “clean and healthy” menu. However, the food not only surpassed my expectations but I can confidently say I will be coming back to try just about everything they have to offer! We had the burger, chicken wrap, salad, and brownie, and all of it was fantastic! To top it off the staff and manager were very friendly, personable and made our experience memorable! If you go here I highly recommend anything with the dairy free ranch, I’d buy a bottle of the stuff if I could, and treat yourself to a brownie, 100% worth it!

Amazingly delicious!! The manager Mike was kind enough to help me enjoy a custom wrap to fit my dietary restrictions using what ingredients the kitchen had on hand. Gluten free tortilla, mixed veggies, avocado, riced cauliflower, garbanzo beans, vegan pesto and vegan cheese sauce! I was also given a side of vegan ranch. All of this healthy food served with love from the chefs who created it at an affordable price. I left full, happy and vibing 💚✨ can't wait to come back with friends and family to enjoy more good food, great ambiance (loved the music and relaxing on the outdoor patio away from road noise) and terrific people! Highly recommend!!

I wish I could give a 5+ rating! It is so great to have a place that cares about inflammatory foods closer to home (and I don't have to cook from scratch). I have been on the autoimmune protocol diet for over 8 months now (am in the reintro phase) and it's great to see food options on menus that are dairy free and egg free. And having confidence in the ingredients list or crosscontaminatio n. The dishes we had (Passion vegetable curry chicken and Rot buffalo chicken wrap) were sized for more than we could eat and packed our leftovers to go. The curry seemed spicier than I expected, but I have not had a lot of spices in the last months, so it's possible it's just my reaction. The desserts look just like the traditional recipes. Yes, some dishes may not look or taste like the originals, but this is food for those that actually need it free of allergens. So I think the reviews about consistency and taste don't have a place here - have you tried making these at home? Prices were decent for Boulder and we also purchased a brownie mix bag to make at home (mine will be an egg free version). Staff was attentive, friendly and served us some brownie bites while we were pondering our choices. Will definetly come back.

Really cute cafe with an uncommonly large menu. Plenty of clearly labeled options for many different diets, including vegans, gluten free, non dairy, refined sugar free, legume free, etc. My delicious toast order was ready in under 5 minutes!

Just Be Kitchen is awesome! I was skeptical of how the food would taste as it’s not easy to do gluten, dairy, soy, seed oil, corn FREE but the food was amazing. So good my husband and I ate there 3 meals straight during our race weekend in Boulder. From enchanted salad to crave burger to breakfast burrito, we were extremely impressed. Mike (I think the owner) was friendly, helpful and passionate about how clean the food is. Highly recommend this place for anyone who cares about high quality and truly healthy, delicious food.

Just Be is one of my Go-Tos when I'm in the Denver and Boulder areas. The breakfast burrito is SO GOOD, I've never had such a wonderful GF tortilla. It's a bit expensive for the quantity of food and I'd like to see more consistency for quantity per item ordered; the shepherd's pie is much smaller and less substantial than the burrito. The drinks are also very pricey. Don't get me wrong, I love a good turmeric latte with good, clean, ingredients, but I struggle with the $9 price tag. I'll keep coming here! 1000%. I recommend you do, too. This is an awesome dedicated GF / Celiac safe restaurant.

Wow!!! I had heard about Just Be Kitchen but my expectations were wildly surpassed once I actually took my first bite. I’m hooked! (Look out for the potato and leek soup! It’s unbelievable) Mike and his team are outstanding and truly go above and beyond for this community and you can literally taste all of the passion that goes into their dishes. I love to see what new special they have put together. I would literally eat here every day and never get tired. OBSESSED!
