    Amazing burgers. The brown sugar one is top notch. Crispy buttered bun with fresh toppings. Large interior seating area with plenty of TVs showing all the games. Large craft beer selection. Great service!

    This is a nice place great food, good help and lots of televisions. There was 7 of us(4 kids) of whom 4 we're gluten free. The Boulder tap has all the supplies and knowledge to serve the gluten free folks. I know they were busy but it took more than ½ hour for the food to come out. Great food though.

    The cheese curds are not only very good they are huge. Try to share them with someone if you can because they are very generous with the portion size. First time in a while I’ve been somewhere and the a appetizer can be shared. If you don’t share it you might be full before your order arrives! Very good problem to have though! The burgers are also very good. The fries were definitely above average. Unlike Buffalo Wild Wings fries lol. They also have boneless and traditional Wings if you’re into that.

    I’ve never experienced a greasy salad until last night. I got the Steak Fajita Salad. Dressing on the side. The entire bottom of the bowl was greasy oil. It was not even edible. I took two bites to see if I could eat it and sent it back. Politely just said please take this back it is very greasy for some reason. Didn’t offer to remake it, didn’t take it off my bill. I will not be going back.

    Being able to take my gluten free wife out to dinner again is thanks to this amazing restaurant. Not only do they have a separate fryer for gluten free food but an amazing menu as well. For me personally, I love the food and the great beer selection. This is a wonderful restaurant and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes good food.

    My brother and I ordered the teriyaki chicken bowl. The taste was so awful neither one of us could eat it. I brought it home to my dog and she wouldn't eat it. My son ordered chicken strips with fries and that was pretty good. I also ordered the French onion soup. It tasted like somebody had dumped a bottle of onion powder in it. It was so overpowering I only took three bites and then couldn't eat anymore. We also ordered the onion rings and you would think for $9.99 you would get unburned and tasty onion rings. Well you'd be thinking wrong. They came out and were the step right before black. They were burned and tasted terrible. I would highly recommend going to a different restaurant if you want quality food. Our waitress on the other hand was quite delightful. She brought me out a second bowl of French onion soup but it still was so overpowering I couldn't eat it. She tried everything she could to make the teriyaki chicken taste better but nothing she did work. We do not blame her at all as her service was on par. But the food was awful and we never plan on going back there again

    A group of friends and I ate dinner here last night and had a good time. I ordered the gourmet burger with cheddar and bacon wontons. I also ordered some of their boneless wings and I believe the flavor was Jamaican Jerk .The wait staff were very friendly and seemed happy to be there. We waited about 5 minutes to get seated, 5 mins to order drinks, another 5 to get drinks then she started taking orders but seemed very unorganized or distracted. The wait to get our food was pretty extreme but when it was done I cannot stress enough how well cooked it was and just soooooooo tasty. Lots of sports memorabilia and TVs with different games on and plenty of room to stretch out. If you're looking for some quality food and to burn some time I would highly recommend visiting. I'm not a drinker anymore so I cannot comment on the actual bar scene or the quality of the different beers and cocktails but the Strawberry lemonade was refreshing.

    Watched the Vikes there today because my tv died. Huge huge TV. Great bartender. If I remember right her name was Brittany. Very pleasant. Slight oversight on my order but great hot food. Not enough to take away a star. Best onion rings I’ve had in a very long time. 5 stars.

    Once the entire party was seated, someone brought 3 sets of silverware (there were 6 of us). No water or drinks were offered at this moment. We inquired on our waiter or waitress, and a quick conversation between 2 gals happened, and one of them mentioned, "I guess I will take care of you." Great, from the time our drink orders were taken and food orders taken, it was 10 minutes. Add the normal wait time for our meals to arrive is now a total of an hour. They asked if anything was needed, and a mention of extra napkins was made, 5 minutes later, it was mentioned again on the extra napkins. They were brought 2 minutes later. The waitress asked a couple of times how everything was and if any drink refills were needed and promptly did the refills. I can say the quickest part of the experience was the drink refills, the 2nd request for napkins, and when it was time to pay for the bill. For being at the establishment for the first time, this did not give me a great impression. With that said, the service needs to be stepped up, the food was delicious, and the cleanliness was noticed.

    The atmosphere was good, nothing special, though. HOWEVER, the cheese curds took about 25-30 minutes to arrive and were cold and solid in the middle. The burgers were kind of small and VERY dry. The fries were like the atmosphere, good but nothing special. Food and service were not good. Needless to say, we will not be returning.

    Ordered via food dudes after a long day with a colicky baby. I asked for no lettuce but my wrap has lettuce on it. I’m allergic to it. Food dudes had to argue with the restaurant for 10 mins to resend the order to an exhausted mom. Not cool

    Great service. 8/10 Great drinks. 8.5/10 Okay good, cheese curds and starters 9/10 but our burgers were really flat and the brown sugar bacon was rock solid 5/10

    Definitely 1,000% prefer the location in Alexandria - the food is way better, prices seem more reasonable in Alex and the food is actually fully cooked there. Here at the St Cloud location, my husband’s burger was way pinker than it should’ve been (but he’s too nice to send it back) and it was so greasy that you tell without picking it up that it wasn’t fully cooked. My sandwich was… meh, okay. The fries were good though, that was about it.

    Amazing pepper Jack cheese cures curds, really good pulled pork sandwich

  • 5/5 Sharon D. 8 months ago on Google
    The food was very good. But for not being real busy, service was a little slow. We had the Tuesday Cheeseburger basket special. The everything was very good. My burger was a little dry, but that's what ketchup is for. We would definitely come back again.

    Delicious! You can't go wrong with their cheese curd burger. The fried pickles and pretzle sticks are amazing, and the raspberry chocolate shake is another amazing find! I would highly recommend as a family friendly environment with amazing food!

  • 5/5 deryl c. 9 months ago on Google
    Excellent place to grab some beers with delicious food! I went twice during our week of training at Park Industries and was not disappointed. I highly recommend the fried pickles because the breading resembled french fries, which was amazing! My favorite entre was the cheese curd burger, it was out of this world!

  • 1/5 James K. 10 months ago on Google
    Cheese curds is the only thing worth getting, burger was so over cooked I thought it was Chicken, I ate 2 bites of dry beef and the waitress never even gave me the opportunity to say that it was bad, on top of her giving absolutely horrible service, will not be back

    Not a great experience at all. Ordered to go for 7pm. Had specifics outlined for a burger. Called to ensure that they got all of that and they assured me they would talk to the kitchen and make sure. Got to the restaurant and none of the hosts knew where we were supposed to pickup our order and there wasn’t any signage pointing people where to pickup to-go orders. Then the extra BBQ wasn’t in there and we had to pay an additional $1.10 for the sauce. Not the worst but still annoying on the sauce. After that we got back to the cabin and the items we asked for customized were wrong. My wife hates pickles and there were pickles on the burger. So I paid $20 for a burger that we are going to throw away because my wife won’t eat it. She has super strong taste and can’t eat the food. Super bummed. Do not recommend.

    Greeted with a smile and then served by Ryne who got our drinks quickly. He was very attentive and engaging. Enjoyed the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, cheese quesadillas, and fajita salad. Lots of beers on tap and milkshakes for the kids. My 13 year old gave it a 10/10.

  • 4/5 Madison K. 1 year ago on Google
    Cool place limited tap list which for most people is fine. Ordered a burger which was great along with a shake and pretzels as an app both pretty good. There cheese dip was insanely thick which turned me off a bit from it. Good atmosphere with good food and drinks! Would visit again with friends/family.

    Fellow veterans and myself went for veterans day. There was a bit of a wait due to the holiday but there were plenty of conversations to kill the time. Staff were courteous and prompt, food was great, coffee was surprisingly very good, and the lemonade was freshly squeezed. If you are in the market for a hamburger, then look no further. This place is home to two of my favorites. Bathroom was clean, and up to date, TVs were plentiful, and tables were clean. The floor was a little slick, on the bar side. I would recommend some grease cutting chemicals for the manager or to sit on the restaurant side for those with mobility or gait issues.

    Walked over to this restaurant as it was next door to our hotel. Large selection of beers on tap including local options. Our server was fantastic; she had extensive knowledge on all the menu items, was efficient, and checked up on us frequently. Lots of menu items to choose from. Portion sizes were good for the price and food was filling. Everyone in our party enjoyed their meal. Would love to come back again next time I'm in town.

  • 5/5 Jen C. 1 year ago on Google
    We were in town for a funeral and stopped by to have some drinks/apps with family who lived it town. What a great spot! The appetizers were tasty, highly recommended the deep fried pickle spears! And don't even get me started on the drink menu! It has some fun drinks, I wouldn't call them "craft" just some fun twist from the basics. We also had a lovely waitress! Wish I remembered her name. My Step daughter could decide on a beer to drink, so the waitress and bringing out samples until she found something she liked! 10/10 customer service!

  • 5/5 Owen K. 1 year ago on Google
    Very busy, the service was great even though they told us the cooks were backed up. The cooks came through and the food wait wasn't that bad. The waitress was thoughtful and made sure we had drinks for the extra wait for food. I can't give them anything under a 5 due to the extra work involved in making everyone happy. Times are tough and they have great staff with a positive attitude. The food was great and looked fabulous. I got a simple salad and soup/bread.

    Wasn't impressed with the gentleman host or the guy bartender (not very polite) That being said, The burgers were amazing! We had 3 different ones. All were exceptional. Staff maybe work on being polite in busy times. Woman mgr (blonde) was very nice. We will definitely be back for those burgers!

  • 4/5 Anna K. 1 year ago on Google
    My husband ordered pickup today, food was done on time (it was a pretty big order!) and tasted awesome. Small issue, and a red or brown beard hair was in the beans. Not a huge deal, but I’d advise in the future better QC for pickup orders. I’ve worked in food service and I know how often mistakes happen so I’m definitely not one to complain, just to point out for the future because someone else might not be very understanding. Thanks for the food

    Way to go Boulder Tap House!! Great staff, food and beer selection. Very good burgers, onion rings, and fantastic cheese curds. My wife and I were first time customers this weekend. We'll definitely be back any time we're in the area. Staff made us feel welcome and like regulars.

  • 5/5 Jessica H. 2 years ago on Google
    The service was quick and very good! Hostess was fast with getting us a spot. Our waitress was very bubbly and always there when we needed something and the cook staff was great. Food and drinks were amazing!!

  • 5/5 Natasha M. 2 years ago on Google
    We are regular eaters at Tap House! We always leave happy, service is always just wonderful! This last time we went, we got wings and the Philly, and OH MY GOD, if you had not had their new Philly yet, you are 100% missing out! It was the best Philly either of us have tasted! That alone is worth trying this place!! They have a wonderful food menu, and wonder beer and drink menu! Their long island list is amazing, so many different types, and I believe it's Tuesday that they are half off! Such a great restaurant, one of all time favorites!!!
