Totally not impressed. I guess if youre a beer and cyclist enthusiast, it would be great. But, seeing as i am neither, i will never go again. The location is okay, and i despise coming into a restaurant and not knowing what to do. We walked around for a few minutes wondering what to do. There was no sign that says seat yourself, or any distinct area for "bar" and "restaurant". We finally caught a waitress to see what to do. The service...was okay. The waitress didnt seem to know about the food at all. And i guess all they do is beer, because they couldnt do a virgin daiquiri. It took some time to get our drinks, and quite a while to get our appetizers and meals. It was not busy. She was nice and still did a good job. She just seemed new. The food.....oh my word...we ordered the pizza nuggets and artichoke dip. Nuggets were more like mini pizzas...thats all. Nothing special. Dip was okay, Ive had better. A LOT of chips for very little dip. Nothing impressive. But the apps were much better than the entrees. My husband got the mushroom burger, which he only ate half. Most of the burger was a massive bun. He really didnt have much to say about the taste, only it was "ok". My friend got a pizza, which was severely undercooked and was extremely doughy. She asked that is be cooked more, and the waitress said very confused "ummm...well...ill see what they can do"....What is there to do? Stick it back in the over... tad da! Her husband got a bacon cheese burger. He also was unimpressed and only ate half. He said the bun was pretty soggy. Asked for medium well and gave him close to medium rare. His fries were limp and undercooked. I got the chicken Alfredo. I was pretty excited because i love angel hair pasta. This was the worst Alfredo dish i have ever had in my entire life. And i have had a lot, its my favorite dish. I cant even explain the taste. The chicken was in tiny little bits and tasted like mesquite turkey. The pasta was undercooked and the sauce was....just awful. Worse than canned. I gave a bite to everyone else, and they all agreed that it was awful. I could only take 3 bites and i was done. Luckily i had Cesar salad as a side and bread. So i didnt leave hungry. I have never been in that situation before. I didnt want something else, so I just told them we were going to a movie and couldnt take it with us. I think the waitress knew we didnt like our food, so we didnt see her for a good 30 minutes after we were done eating. Another waitress came by and took our plates, and thats when our regular waitress came to give us our bill. We paid the full bill and gave her a 17% tip. Like i said the service over all was good so i wasnt going to let my tip reflect the food. I work at a cafe and i know how uncomfortable it can be when you have to deal with people who dont like their food. Maybe she thought we were going to try and get some free food. Anyway, like i said, if you love beer and watching games, defiantly come here. Seems like a good place for it. But for food...i would definitely pass.

We watched game 7 of the west conf finals here. To start, it was mildly crowded inside - Memorial Day 2016 - So not exactly a busy busy day for this kind of bar. We ordered jack and cokes and they were good. The service from our server was adequate - he was polite and answered questions for us. We initially ordered a 7 and 7 but they dont have seagrams so we went for jack and coke. They have cornhole (bags) boards outside and a mist system for those hot days/nights. During the NFL season I have watched plenty of Browns games there - they have the NFL Sunday Ticket. I have only eaten at this place once, and it was at this visit. I ordered a lb of wings - they were OK. I am a wing junkie and so im not easily impressed. The sauce was a jamaican and its nothing to write home about. The chicken quality was average - but overall I was satisfied. I ordered ranch and blue cheese and both were tasty which left me satisfied. They have a ton of parking available at that space - so you wont have to worry about a spot for your giant truck if you have one. One day ill definitely be back .

My friends love this place and although I dont drink their kool-aid, I can see why its so popular. The basics: 1) beer is good. 2) beer options change all the time. Yay! We love options!, 3) Menu has decent food for an OK price. 4) Trivia is here on Tuesdays and it is packed like a can of sardines. I wouldnt bring a date here or have a large dinner party here but its a good spot to grab a beer and share a large pizza. Their LA snob is gross (its a white creamy pizza with broccoli and raw tomato) but their Elvis (with pineapple and jalapeno) is delicious and great as left-overs. I have always found a beer flavor I like and they are not afraid to give you a small sample in case you are hesitant. Service is ok and their trivia is quite fun and audible from every corner of the bar (which can be a big problem at a bunch of trivia spots). As a casual place to hang out, this place takes the cake.

2nd time here,and thats what this review is based on, 1st was with the guys from work, great service great food and overall great experience. Went in with kids and wife on 1/30/16 took 15 min to get menus, 45 mins to get order which was missing items and overall slow service, the two waitress Courtney and Lauren although seriously overwhelmed due to managements lack of planning for staff remained positive, apologetic and overall a great attitude. I was using some gift card and had limited cash on hand to leave a proper tip, Lauren said dont worry about the tip as she felt they didnt deserve it due to the situation. If I was to leave a tip based on anything it was these two outstanding young ladies overall greatness despite the demanding work load thrown on to them. KUDOS to these two ladies and next time I am in Ill make up for the last tip.

Boulders is a nice little neighborhood bar, the owners are personable and the food is great, especially the Alaskan Salmon. It doesnt stop there, Boulders certainly rivals the Yard Houses selection of beer such as Chimay, Stone, and tons more for a lot less money. True story: I was 40+ miles from home with a dead cell phone, just leaving a clients office at 10PM when my car battery also died. I start walking down the street in search of help and BEHOLD! I see a sign, Boulders on Broadway. I pulled up a bar stool ordered "The Hard Day" (a calzone I think) and a beer, the bartender let me borrow her iPhone to call for help and all was well again. Boulders People, Food & Beer are the best. If you like good beer/food and a mellow atmosphere this is the place for you!
