3 week agoPlace is a classic. Also a bit of a premium. Can’t really go wrong with ordering anything on the menu. Really everything is great. Get ready to pay up though. Highly recommended for happy hour but the deals aren’t worth bragging about. Food is great though. Awesome for work events. They have a private bar in the basement that you can reserve.

3 week agoStopped by the Roadhouse Boulder Depot to pick up some appetizers and dessert for a late day takeout snack. The food was great, and the service at the bar was outstanding. The bartenders were very nice and welcoming, which is a pleasant change from some of the attitudes you get during service at restaurants in NYC. Needless to say, we highly recommend it here!

2 month agoDelicious food with a gorgeous view from the patio, clean bathrooms and great service! We loved stopping here for a quick bite with our kids and small dog. It’s so nice to have dog friendly options. The bathrooms were also very clean, as well as the inside of the restaurant and the patio where we sat.

2 month agoDelightful surprise, staff was friendly and efficient, food was good and arrived quickly. Didn't know what to think about the Depot when we first looked it over on these reviews. Everything seemed above the fold, but I had a nagging feeling that something was off. I was wrong and proved to a point that this restaurant earns it's 5 stars from me. Flatbread with mushrooms is absolutely delicious. Tuna poke was a good choice too. Over cooked Brussel sprouts, but this was corrected quickly and a kitchen staff brought it out with a proper explanation and apology. We'll be back!!

4 month agoDelicious food, wonderful service, fun atmosphere. I love the building. They have cool photos on the wall showing the history. We started with the chips & guacamole. The chips are house made and absolutely delicious. They are the perfect thickness, served hot and fresh. The guac was perfection. My husband had the Thai Peanut Noodle signature entree. The portion was large. The dish was very flavorful and fresh. The chicken was perfectly seasoned. I had the filet mignon. I ordered it medium and it was cooked perfectly. Again, the portion is large. The steak and potatoes were well seasoned and delicious. The broccolini was was good. My only wish was that they had served one more stalk served with the meal. Needed a little more veggies for my personal taste. The happy hour offers great prices on select house wines. I had the house white and it was very good. Not a wine I would have normally ordered and I am glad I did. Great value and taste. Our server was attentive and friendly. He was very knowledgable about the menu and making suggestions. There is paid parking in the rear. We will definitely go back next time we are in Boulder.

4 month agoStopped by recently with some family and the food and service were both incredible! I got the prime rib sandwich and it was definitely the best French dip sandwich I've ever had in my life. The fries were amazing as well. My wife got the mushroom skillet and loved it and we all shared the pretzel bites, which came with amazing queso. We can't wait to stop by again and try more things from the menu, I highly recommend the Roadhouse Boulder Depot!

4 month agoVery very good burger! Bun was soft, toasted, and not too thick. The patty was cooked to perfect temp (med rare) and had char flavor. Toppings great. Great service and ambiance.
