I was in Grand Rapids for a quick weekend getaway to bike part of the Mesabi Trail. After spending…read morethe morning biking, after getting cleaned up I was ready for lunch! Boulder Tap House was just up the street from my hotel and after a quick spin through their menu I decided to stop by. Arriving shortly after they opened at 11, I grabbed a seat at the bar and the bartender was prompt and attentive. Glancing over the menu, prices seemed a little steep and I ordered the BTH Classic Smash Burger. Burger arrived quickly and I was disappointed to find it poorly seasoned with little flavor. I had to drown it in ketchup and was glad I requested a side of ranch (79-cent up charge). Fries were Sysco foodservice standard and I quickly got the impression folks don't come to Boulder Tap House for the food. Rather, it's a spot for drinks and appetizers. They have a clearly well stocked bar and I think if I'm in town again I'll come for happy hour and not for an actual meal.

We enjoyed the patio during our 1st visit but this time around it was a little too breezy so we claimed a cozy booth inside. We tried the Jam IPA and Noble Pilsner during this visit and both were great! We haven't had a chance to try the food yet, but everything we saw coming out looked delicious. The service was also super friendly. It's such a nice place to relax and hang out while we were waiting for our AirBnB to be ready and we would definitely stop again the next time we're in town!

It was busy and they let us know the pizza and breadsticks we ordered would be about 25 minutes. It was spot on. We order the Sammy's Special to go and it was delicious. The crust was thin and crispy. I can only imagine how good it would be fresh at restaurant instead of to go. The breadsticks were thick and fresh. We did order Alfredo sauce and got pizza sauce instead but it was still very good. I will definitely come again when we're in town for lacrosse.

What a Northwoods gem! Surly Furious on tap, you can't ask for much else…read more But we did. Beer and dinner for 5, 4 of which just emerged from a week of canoeing Quetico, and we were starving. The waitress (she is really nice!) said 2 larges would be enough for the 5 of us and she was right - we had almost no leftovers (good thing, we were staying in a motel with no fridge), but it was a stretch (literally) to eat it all. I have to say, for a Northwoods pizza joint the crust was really good. Toppings not half bad either, and they really like to load up your pie with banana peppers. We had a great time. I noticed on the way to the men's room that they have a nice game area for the kids, and it looked well-used. Also liked the free popcorn, though I'm sure it makes lots of people thirsty enough to order another beer. Next year we try the wings!!!

This place was great - super friendly service, reasonable prices, big portions, AND tasty food! Nothing flashy, but everything we tried was good. We had cheese curds and fried green beans to start, my son got shepherd's pie, and my husband and I both got fish & chips, and we got a little two pack of monster cookies to go for dessert (yum) - we would definitely return here!

Food 5/5: the outside of this place gives dive bar vibes, but the food absolutely wow'd us. We got pretzels and the fried green beans for appetizers, both were very good. It was a cooler summer day, so many of us opted for the comfort food. I got the chicken and it was spiced absolutely perfectly. The rice was done to perfection, the chunks of chicken complimented by the sauce. I would absolutely go back for just that. They have a great menu selection and great kid meal options. Service 5/5: our waitress was very friendly and attentive. She took our order quickly and the food also came quickly. Ambiance 5/5: like I said earlier, this place gives dive bar vibes from the outside. The inside is definitely more elevated. Plenty of room and seating with a great patio for nice days.

Was not as impressed with that however. Surprised what you can find in a Northern Minnesota range town.

I visited BoomTown this evening for their Taco Tuesday. I ordered the Boom Boom Pulled Pork tacos…read more I have had these many time before, but tonight they were over the top spicy. I talked to the table next to me who agreed, in fact like me the lady at that table ate almost two of her tacos before she couldn't handle it any more. I told them I was having the same difficulty. One waiter said the tacos should be more "sweet" not spicy. Our waitress said others had complained today regarding the spiciness too. I stopped eating my tacos, chips and salsa, since I couldn't identify where the spice was coming from. When I asked my waitress, who had admitted others were complaining, about a discount since I couldn't finish my food since the heat kept building in my mouth. She stated I couldn't get a discount since it was Taco Tuesday so the food was already discounted. Not pleased. To add insult to injury the lady at the table next to me made the same complaint and she was offered new food. I don't know if it was because her husband made the complaint on her behalf, and I was a table of one? Very disappointed in service and food. Sadly I drove by Thirsty Moose who has amazing food, but picked Boomtown tonight. Regretting that decision.

Having tried burgers, sandwiches, entrees, pizza, wings, I would summarize the food this way, straightforward. Everything that I have eaten has been good. Not extra special or amazing, but good and consistent. I have had consistently friendly and helpful servers. I don't personally know anyone who works there but my interactions with staff have all been very friendly. I have eaten here alone and with groups, there is always music or TV sound happening, but it not so loud as to bother all conversation or prevent you from reading. I personally like ambient noise as long as it is not too loud. It is one of the reasons I would go out by myself is to be in that environment. I have found this business to be consistently accommodating and reliably good quality.

However, we also had to call the restaurant while we were there to get service, Still, we're "up north " so trying to "chill". After we were finally served our food (it was a "so-so" meal ) we had to actually call the restaurant yet again to pay the bill! It will be a great story to tell everyone about.....we waited around forever. Stood up and went to get a server to make sure that our bill was paid- which was another ordeal. A good story for the ages,but we won't recommend it for the faint of heart Food (honestly) wasn't even close to be worth waiting for. Restaurant wasn't close to being busy either.
