25 Best Salad Restaurants in Boulder

“Checking in with a collection of my experiences -- all of which have been resoundingly positive. I especially enjoy some of the appetizers and the happy hour menu, with the Brussel Sprouts & Hummus (pictured) and Calamari coming to mind. For my taste it's the perfect balance between comfort food and upscale, you can tell the menu has been well thought out and that the food items are designed to be a little more interesting and tasty than cut-and-paste bar food, while at the same time the vibe isn't overly pretentious. I think there's something to be said for knowing your lane and not pretending to be something you're not -- and Ironwood Grill does that perfectly. I always feel welcomed, I always feel relaxed, and I never leave hungry. I spent my 50th birthday and myself and all my guests (of which there were many) were well attended to and taken care of. I will continue to be back again and again and feel great about supporting this locally run enterprise.“

“Cashier was new, no problem as they had someone able to assist her through any questions so hardly any wait! Food came out beautiful with lots of sauce and meat, perfectly cooked and wonderfully fresh veggies 10/10 will be back!!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options!!!“

“As someone who eats out all over Boulder, this is my go to lunch spot and often dinner. The food is so clean I always feel amazing after eating. Great flavors. Great drinks. The service is good and the staff is very friendly. The owner is often around and you can tell the place runs smoothly and is very clean. When my visiting parents stayed at the adjacent hotel they literally ate here everyday.“

“Great breakfast and great service!“

“i was visiting from the mid west and ate here 2 days in a row. would have been more if it was closer to estes. awesome food! i love this place!“

“The pizza is pretty good, considering options in Denver. The service leaves much to be desired. The pizza arrived room temperature/cold and not even warm. On the phone manager was very apathetic and refused to make it right. He kept talking over me, even in person, and when I called him out on it he told me literally verbatim that I was a liar. Drove over to the store, returned the cold pizza and got a proper hot pizza with a side of attitude. For a $25 pizza, it should be received hot or replaced.“

“Super yummy in all ways. I had the Cobberado salad and didn’t disappoint. Fresh and refreshing!“

“Best pizza! Thanks to you all for still being here for Boulder!“

“I liked it but they need to stop calling me sir I'm not that old lol“

“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!!! ♥️“

“Excellent breakfast! Best bacon I’ve ever had and cooked perfectly! Pancakes are especially delicious with the best syrup ever!! Service was friendly and attentive! I will definitely be back!!“

“The coffee is good. But what's better is the sun when it hits their giant wall of a window. It's like that scene in Chronicles of Riddick when they escape from prison and the sun beam is coming towards them, scorching the planet. You gotta get your coffee and get outta there - ONE SPEED, MY SPEED - if you wanna survive.“

“always great Pizza at a great price“

“I've been eating here since it opened. John and Abby are the kindest people you will ever meet, and their whole family is just lovely. the gluten free subs are safe for me here and consistently excellent. the customers really become friends of the family here, and that's not something you always get in Boulder. I can't recommend this spot enough. I'm proud to know this family and think the world of them.“

“Amazing food and amazing service!“

“Really good sandwiches, but each time they’ve been pretty dry and they barely have any sauce. If they just added a bit more (i.e. more jam on the turkey bacon jam or pesto on the chicken pesto), they’d be perfect! Their pretzel bread is awesome though“

“I had the best experience today with Krystal at the new Boulder location!! She was super sweet and had a great attitude about the 50 million modifications I made to my wrap lol. Truly the most amazing team and my Japanese BBQ wrap was amazing per usual :)

Not to mention how cute and inviting the location itself is. 10/10 across the board!“

“Amazing food! Our first time and it was so good. The staff were friendly and patient as well, and though there was a line it moved quickly! I have quite a few dietary restrictions and I was able to get a ton on my bow. Highly recommend, and will be back.“

“Very fresh and super tasty and healthy.“

“2026: nice place to eat after a trip to Bricks and Minifigs lol, the lord truly does work in mysterious ways.

Edit: Yellow Deli should actually contact the FTC right now and let then know Google is refusing to remove reviews which are clear hate speech against Twelve Tribes.

Deli Waffle is bomb

Old Time Gathering tunes

One star reviews are Hate Speech and should be reported as such 👍“

“Superb! Great staff... delicious cuisine. Authentic! Discover a new taste bud: Umami! The Best of Colorado!“

“The gunbarrel location is so good. They always create a high quality sandwich. I get the gluten free and I am celiac and have never suffered from cross contamination. I get the veggie sandwich and they always hook it up with all the ingredients (other locations have left me disappointed) THANK YOU to the kind and respectful people who work at this location. There’s not a lot of decent gluten free food in Boulder and this place keeps me fed.“

“We love noodles , just as good as in Green Bay wis“

“I've been ordering takeout Buddha bowls for several years. they're always delicious except for the last two times. they were still delicious but half of the vegetables were missing because apparently you guys have turned into cheapskates. if you want to take out half of something, make it the rice.“

“I just moved to the Boulder area. I thought I'd check out the local Panera. I was very impressed. The gentleman at the register was very friendly. My orange scone was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was warm and clean. I'll be back!“
