Came for brunch on a weekday and waited for a few minutes at the outdoor host stand before having to go inside and locate a server. Got seated in a corner where there shouldn’t really be a table, as my wife was continuously bumped into by staff and customers alike. Our server was not very friendly, and when my wife asked her to add bacon a few minutes after we placed our order, she dropped it off shortly after by itself, which was not ideal, as she wanted it with her meal, not as an appetizer.
The food itself was quick and tasty, however, if you’re looking for a place to have conversation, this may not be for you! It was quite loud but eclectically decorated. Loved to see the pride flag!

The quality of all the food was great but the pancakes were way too small. I’m talking like 3-4” diameter. Needs to be bigger please

We love the food, history, and vibes of Foolish Craig's. My only critique is of the new espresso martini on the menu - too sweet and underwhelming. Otherwise I highly recommend!

Great cafe on Pearl Street in Boulder. This is an East End classic. Had the Mitch’s burger, it was tasty, quality ingredients, plenty of food for lunch. The staff is very friendly, mostly CU students, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, has a good vibe.

Vegetarian options: Like most places in Boulder there are lots of vegetarian choices

Seating swiftly at 11AM on a Sunday with the friendliest staff. This review is after my fourth visit and I ordered:
Black coffee with creamer was the best you could ever ask for 🤩
millionaire bacon (3 ⭐️)
short stack pancakes (5⭐️)
crepe with syrup (2⭐️)
biscuits and gravy (2⭐️)
Small fruit cup to supplement crepes and pancakes was good

What a groovy place, came up to see my dad for Christmas Eve and we all decided to stop in here because my uncle had heard such good things about it. The food was so good, the wait staff was great, I really loved the atmosphere, I would definitely go to this place again the next time I'm in Boulder.

I have a new best breakfast in Boulder place!
Corey guided us to great dishes, and interesting options. We had the corn beef hash with two eggs and an optional Nutella crap. We shared it and still feel full.

Amazing little place with incredible food and cocktails for brunch. Visited for my freinds birthday, and they were super accommodating. Crepes were delish. The hash melted in my mouth. Sloppy millionaire bacon to die for. Yum yum

This place has really gone downhill, after living in boulder my entire life and coming here for years after years I can say I will not be coming back. Service was laughable, we were ignored by our server for most of the time and when she finally did come over, we could bearly hear her speak and didn't even catch her name. They rushed us to order drinks and got upset when we said we needed another minute. Once we ordered and finally got out food she didn't check in to see if our food was good or if we needed anything else. Mind you every server there was standing 3 feet away from us at all times actively ignoring us. They were on their phone our entire visit and didn't notice that both water cups were empty until after we were done with our food. I also asked for a certain sauce(that is on the menu!) which no one seemed to know what it was and as they were trying to figure it out, they loudly mocked me behind the bar. Also after driving back home my girlfriend felt sick so not sure thats about but safe to say we won't ever be coming back. Overall very disappointed. This used to be a great local restaurant but now tastes like corporate greed just like every other restaurant in boulder. If I could 0/5 stars I definitely would.

Was here back in April of this year, the place was packed, but it was a quaint and cozy little joint, the food was awesome and the atmosphere was awesome, I would definitely go back here again in the future.
