New American Restaurants in Boulder, CO

“Conversation friendly; unique farm to table entrees; creative combinations always delicious.“

“The Italian pasta menu was out of this world and hope it returns. The lasagne with wagyu beef was incredible - a perfect balance of delicious beef, fresh pasta and cheese. My personal fave was the squid ink spaghetti frutti di mare - the fresh tomato sauce combined beautifully with the seafood, and the saffron breadcrumbs made it all truly unique and unforgettable. The tiramisu was delicate, and the ricotta cheesecake with orange marmalade felt fresh and citrusy.“

“Blackbelly has I thought always had great tasting options. Breakfast burrito is reasonably priced for how big it is.
The lunch side I’ve noticed slacking if I’m going to pay for 15 dollars for a Turkey Club sandwich it better come with more than just two pieces of folded deli turkey. I’ve always enjoyed them in the past but this was truly disappointing in terms of not living up to expectations.“

“Zeal is a place you want to eat if you love your body. This place seriously cares about what you eat. If I ate here everyday I'd probably live to be 120. The level of quality at Zeal is off the chain. The food consists of fresh ingredients, healthy, organic no bad things for your body. I had the goddess salad. And after I ate it I felt like a goddess. If you want to live a little longer Zeal is the place for you. The food is premium fuel for your body. The chefs have created a menu of food combinations that are 5 star. Way to shine Zeal!“

“We only had time for drinks and a snack. The staff were more than helpful and accommodating. We will definitely be back! The flavors of natural herbs coming through the desserts were superb!e“

“Excellent as always. Sevice and food are always great. Last night's standout was the shrimp cocktail. We ordered two and when they arrived they looked almost like a tartare with bits of shrimp on top and dollops of unknown sauce around the edges. Thought they may misheard our order. But much to our delight, it was a de-constructed shrimp cocktail with rich, spicy, lemony delightful flavors. See you there soon!“

“Visited Boulder Cork for our anniversary and had the most wonderful experience! All of the staff were so friendly and kind, our food was delicious, and drinks were tasty. Their dinner happy hour menu has great prices and really good options. The prime rib was delectable and the fish & chips were fried to perfection. Mud pie for dessert was incredible as well! Thank you for making our night special! Can’t wait to go back. ❤️“

“Absolutely incredible flavors and excellent variety! I wanted more but was so full! I’m ready to come back and try other things… for dinner 🤣🤣! Had the chicken enchilada and forbidden rice with tofu! For desert… the gluten free lemon cake was Devine! HIGHLY recommend!!! ♥️“

“They have great food and drinks! you have to go up to the bar to order either. Food can take quite a while to show up, but it is worth it cuz it is delicious. Bartenders are always super helpful if you don't know what you want. There are so many fun and cozy nooks that you can hang out in. if you are around dinner time there's usually seats. if you go later in the night then it can be pretty packed and it will be more standing room“

“SUCH an incredible date night!! The dinner was seamless in timing (we love longer dining experiences), and absolutely fresh and delicious. We felt incredibly safe having our own space. Our server was stellar, and we even got to share our meal with a couple of the farm pups! I can't recommend this enough!!“

“Excellent service and friendly staff.“

“Best quick meal in Boulder! Hope to visit again soon it’s been far too long“

“Jo-Jo. No more need be said. The most stand-out server I have experienced, including among very high-end restaurants. Agile engagement with and caring for customers. Food, as always at this location, was exactly as described - very flavorful and appropriately filling. Manager came to greet us. During a busy time she clearly cared about our opinions. We will return again. And again. …“

“Love love love the huge pretzels- especially for Oktoberfest! On the other hand the sauerkraut was the worst I ever had - didn't know anyone could mess up sauerkraut but TIP: destroy that recipe!! Live music was a treat - service was super friendly even though the kitchen was swamped. Fun evening - thank for having these great events. We'll be back!“

“My wife Carmen and I had a wonderful time celebrating our 46th anniversary on October 9, 2022, capping the day with a visit to the historic Greenbriar Inn north of Boulder. The food was as amazing as we remembered, while the service (especially from our host Megan) was impeccable and the atmosphere was quite cozy. Instead of just the two of us dining together, our usual custom for at least the past 20 years, I decided to surprise Carmen by inviting our three sons and some close family friends for dinner in a familiar place that we haven’t frequented recently. After a warm greeting by friendly owner Philip Goddard, we were taken to a private dining room that once served as the Inn’s lone restaurant space. The special treatment continued throughout the memorable night. While Happy Anniversary 46 will be hard to top, another date at this remarkable restaurant next year is a distinct possibility. Since October 9 is on a Monday next year (when the Greenbriar is closed), we might have to change our plans: Is it too early to make a reservation for October 8, 2023?“

“This was such a great find! I wanted something low key to take my son in a stroller and this place hit the jackpot. There is a ton of room and the bartender is one of the friendliest guys I’ve ever been served by!I got a glass of wine and a charcuterie board while waiting for my husband and the charcuterie came of fast and was delicious.“

“I'd give the happy hour 5/5.
The wings are a good deal and are delicious. The BBQ was pretty tasty, but the dry rub is the winner. Though it wasn't super consistent, some were impressively juicy.
They also have a solid selection of other appetizers and cheap drinks. $5 margs and beer flights can't be beat.
There was a period of time where the wings were taken off the happy hour menu, so I'm definitely hoping they stay.“

“Ive been here several times over the last few years and while sometimes the service hasn’t always been fast and sometimes forgetful i think its important to acknowledge the service industry has been rough with covid and staffing ♥️ i love this place! The outdoor seating and vibes are so cozy and lovely and the food is 9/10 times really good! Had the duck wings, fried artichoke hearts and a good ole burger on my most recent visit. Its def a little pricey, but thats boulder ?‍♀️“

“Love this restaurant! One of the highly understated gems of Boulder, walking the walk of the true farm to table experience. They go above and beyond with their commitment to serve only the highest quality sustainable meet and produce - nowhere else in Boulder have I found grass fed Wagyu (didn’t even know that was a thing!), Then there’s the locally sourced, organic produce, served up with true culinary creativity by a warm, welcoming staff. This isn’t a Boulder institution resting on their laurels, it’s truly a restaurant that’s stood the test of time and only getting better! ?

Vegetarian options: The vegetable sampler entrée was phenomenal – can’t recommend it enough!

Dietary restrictions: Incredibly accommodating for those with food, allergies, and sensitivities“

“Delicious food! Friendly crew. Try the corn ribs. The Peach Bourbon Smash cocktail was mighty fine!“

“The service the night we were there was not 100%. My friend asked for a cup of ranch and it server took 10 minutes to bring it, meanwhile he got someone else to get him one.

He had the bacon burger and I had the mushroom burger, both were delicious. I would recommend Roadhouse for sure.

We each had two drinks as well.

Parking: The parking was$1.75 for an hour and Half of so, not terrible but not sure I line the idea of paying to park to go out to eat as well.“
