This place has an amazing menu but, for dinner, it's an absolutely terrible setting unless you're a early 20's college student drinking beer - in which case you're probably drinking there right now! The sandwiches are ginormous and we got them to-go, but there was actually beer all over the outside of my sandwich bag! Also, I could not stomach the chicken Thai peanut sandwich. Too spicy, just the wrong combo of something... but my guy liked his, so I'm sure they're not all bad. read more

Sandwiches are very large and tastey. Can save the rest for another meal. Very fast and nice people. I will come back.

Best and biggest selection of subs in Boulder. Lots of hot and cold choices, plus vegetarian. The small is a meal, the large for sharing. Good selection of beers (where else can you get a 40 of mickey's in paper bag?) and some pretty cheap drinks. Nice patio, lots of students getting (but usually not) drunk, and a funky feel. Not a bad place to spend lunch read more

Consistently incredible. Love the caprese sub and can't seem to stop ordering it. Nothing negative to say.

Half Fast Subs Review: Genre: Quick food place (not sit down) Service 5/5 Food 4/5 Ambiance 5/5 Overall 4.5/5 For a not sit down restaurant this place is amazing! Has the local boulder feel and the prices aren't too bad! they cater to vegans (YAY) and I have never once run into a mean employee there they are always super helpful! JB's Suggestions: Vegetarian sloppy joe with the Daiya cheese (very tasty) :) read more

Half Fast is just excellent! We have been enjoying delicious sandwiches and pitchers of Strong Islands here for years and have always been happy, satisfied customers. Yesterday, though, the team at Half Fast truly went above and beyond to absolutely make my day. I had oral surgery yesterday and was seriously craving their delicious mashed potatoes...I couldn't get them out of my head! You can't even buy mashers off the menu (they're available on a delicious sandwich though so I knew they existed), I figured I was out of luck but the guys at Half Fast went out of their way to humor my non traditional order and they worked with my hubby to find a way to get them delivered by Hungry Buffs! 30 minutes later, I was in mashed potato heaven! Lucky for me (and for you), these guys are willing to go out of their way to make your little food dreams come true! read more

MAJOR selection of sandwiches. Do not go in here if your A.D.D. is acting up or you aren't able to make a decision...............they have over 100 sandwiches and that's before no onion, add pickle. Be prepared. not the fastest sandwich shop, but their small (7") is plenty for any normal human being be careful if you get crab, they warm it up..............should have asked for it cold. read more

The undisputed champion of sub sandwichcraft. Amazing selection and everything is delicious. Staff is great. I drive 20 miles for it, and I would drive 500 more, just to be the one to..... sorry, you get it. These sandwiches are that good. Treat yo self. read more

AMAZING Rueben on sourdough. Celebrating special trip to CO from TX and stopped in. I try the Rueben at every diner I eat at and this was a top 5 overall. Would go out of my way to stop by and grab a sandwich if I was in the area again. read more

I had never been to this place for food before while living in Boulder for 6 years because I had heard they do it make sandwiches well. I went there for the first time today and realized why. I was ordering food and the young man ringing me up was incredibly rude he laughed at me to his coworkers blatantly laughed in my face when I asked for a drink, I even heard him call me "a large woman" when he looked at me. NEVER GOING HERE AGAIN AND I RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO THE SAME! read more

Wow so good!! I ordered the philly cheese steak and was very impressed! Loved the bun!

Great choice and quality subs, not to mention a friendly staff! It can get busy here, especially at night time when people hit this place up for their amazing personal pitchers. Speaking of which, get the Strongo! Far and none the best. read more

Huge selection of sandwiches and you can get them delivered to your dorm.

We ordered online and waited for 45 minutes even after we arrived. They almost completely forgot one sandwich. When we went home and sat down to eat. They completely messed up one sandwich. I ordered a turkey sandwhich and I received one with cream cheese and mushroom. So not even close to what I ordered. I cannot eat the sandwich I got because I am allergic to milk. I'm upset by my first experience at Half-Fast Subs. read more

This place was Amazing! So many choices it was hard to decide. I had a turkey club and shared it with my friend who got a ranch chicken. Great deal too. My only complaint is the lack of parking. It's near the college and no free parking anywhere. But totally worth it! Wish there was one closer to where I live. read more

I absolutely love this place. There isn't a better sub shop in town in my opinion (though, I love Snarf's and Cheeba Hut, too). The Long Island Iced Teas at HFS are strong and cheap which brings a ton of people in the door all day every day. I usually get the 7" Baba Booey with extra meat. I think they charge $1 per ounce for extra meat. I get 2-3 extra ounces, and it is well worth the extra cost. The Baba Booey is turkey, salami, and melted cheese - a delicious combo! The only con I can think of here is that the line gets really long during lunch. You may want to wait until the early afternoon (3-4pm) to go grab a sub. Otherwise it could take a half hour...yikes! read more

Great option for veggies! I had the BBQ tempeh and was very happy. If you're a vegan, make sure they take off the cheese. There are chingos of options, so definitely go if you want a good sammich. read more

I ordered a big apple sub which was mediocre at best. The sandwich was hardly full, very soggy, and had a greasy scent that lingered with me all day. Some friends of mine raved about the quality of food served here but it's safe to say I will never eat here again. Save yourself the trouble and go to snarf's. read more

The food was really gross. When I brought my sandwich back with 3 bites out of it, the manager gave me a hard time and said I ate the whole thing which was far from true. This was my second time in. I wanted to give then a chance to redeem themselves from my last gross sandwich and they failed, miserably. read more

Didn't realize they actually make half fast subs! Ordered one of the hot French dip sandwiches and the roast beef was cold.. it was busy and took awhile to get the sandwich, so wasn't worth having them redo it. Might give it another try next time I'm in Boulder since they have so many good reviews. read more

Delicious! I've only had the new turkey so far but I will be stopping in when I go to Boulder and try more! They have a turkey sub with mashed potatoes and gravy..... Enough said! read more

Excellent, quick, and super filling subs! Don't let the long lines fool you, Half Fast is literally one of the fastest made to order sandwich shop with long lines I've ever been to. The sandwiches are delicious and aren't too messy to eat in a hurry or to chill with friends or fanoly. SO SO SO GOOD (for a sandwich). read more

The customer service here was LOUSY. The hipster with the mustache took it upon himself to publically embarrass people who weren't drinking and constantly cut into our conversations with snarky remarks like "If I see her take a drink you're all out!" I work in a restaurant too so I understand, but butting into my conversations 5+ times and pestering me about ID gets annoying after I told him for the 1000th time I DONT DRINK. He then proceeded to stare at my group during his ENTIRE smoke break and even creepily winked at the girl I was with. The staff as a whole were unfriendly and it was not a very welcoming enviroment. Wish I got the bro's name so I could call him out personally. Needless to say I won't be coming back here again. read more

Half Fast is one of my favorite places to grab a drink in Boulder on a nice day. The outdoor patio is a great place to hang out, and more importantly, they offer personal pitchers of long islands. They're small pitchers, granted, but they're a still a nice way to get a buzz going after/ in between class. Can't really go wrong with that, or a pitcher of the margs. They have some other mixed drinks on the menu but I've come to find that they are rather hit or miss and generally very sweet. They also have an unbelievable amount of sandwiches, and while they're not the greatest subs in Boulder, they're pretty decent and it's always fun to try different choices. One of my favorite, most absurd sandwiches is "The Colonel", which comes with mashed potatoes, chicken tenders, corn, gravy, and coleslaw.... Highly recommended, especially if you're drunk. If not, there are plenty of other things to chose from. They also have salads and chips and such. I don't always love the atmosphere of Half Fast, but then again, I don't always love the atmosphere of Boulder and that's why I live in Denver. Anywho, definitely worth checking out if you are in the area! read more

This place has countless kinds of subs, all kinds imaginable since its located in Boulder; from veggies to tempeh, from seafood to all kinds of meats and cheeses! read more

I had the dagwood's dream, no flavor till the last bite? I was just ok, nothing special. My wife had some chicken/ guacamole sandwich it was better, but still nothing that amazing. read more

Best atmosphere. Best sandwiches. Best drinks. Nuff said. This place is better than jimmy, Lenny's, fire house, you name it. All the workers are always super friendly. I love coming to hang here. Also the music is always on point. Love it. read more

This place is so freaking hit and miss. I guess that is what you get though when the sub shop is being run by a bunch of stoned college kids. Example, yesterday...went there with two friends to grab a "quick bite." I order first, pay, then sit down. My two buddies order after me. They get their sandwiches, and I don't get mine. 10 minutes pass... After 15 minutes I ask someone who works there and they say it should be right out. After 20 minutes I go to the counter and ask for a refund. Turns out they haven't even started making the sandwich and the crappy-ass counter girl who looked 12 years old wouldn't give me a refund. I finally get the manager out and he refunds my money and has the gall to ask me if he should cancel the sandwich order. "No jack off, I want my damn sandwich!" 5 minutes later they gave me my sandwich. I sat down at the table (my friends were already done eating), ate my sandwich and it was great. Sandwich = good Service = Stoners who don't know how to handle "their highs" I would also like to point out that my buddy ordered a BLT and was shocked at how much bacon was actually on the sandwich. He literally had to pull out strips of bacon because it was too much. These guys definitely pile on the ingredients. So here is the new recap: Portions = Beyond Huge Sandwich = Good Service = Stoners who don't know how to handle "their highs" read more

My new fav place for sandwich needs! I can't believe the number of vegetarian options they have. My husband and I have been there 3 times now. We've tried out different subs, each time I was amazed at the well crafted sandwich. Very I'll interesting combinations go into each of them! Love it :) read more

Huge and cheap portions. I shared a 7" sub of the thai chicken (sandwiches are 7" or 14", which just seems excessive), which was stuffed with chicken and wontons and greens but needed more spice, which can be easily remedied. I also drank one of their Mega-ritas, 32 oz of tequila and sour mix and whatever else. Let me just say, I'm glad I was staying downhill, because that was the only direction I was going. read more

You haven't truly experienced CU life till you have ventured to Half Fast subs. It's a great place to meet your fellow students and grab a delicious lunch or get shitty on their affordable and oh so strong pitchers. There menu is insanely vast. I have probably tried 10 different subs and they were all great. My fav is the turkey with cream cheese and sprouts.. so yummy, but I'm sure you will be able to find literally every type of sandwich you can dream of. The service is usually very fast and friendly and they have a cute patio out front that's great for enjoying boulders beauty on the hill. read more

As a former employee of Half Fast Subs (Fall of 2002) I might be a little biased. But there are so many subs to choose from. And I think I tried them all (and gained 15 pounds in the process) And their long islands are the best- I definitely sucked down a few after work. Oh, and it was the first time I ever ate cheesesteak. And it's da bomb (yes, I said Da bomb) read more

This place has the most scrumptious subs in Boulder and the widest selection as well! I so highly recommend this place! My only grievance is that it is on the hill and it attracts a lot of douchebag meatheads and frat boys from CU. read more

At the recommendation of a few locals my two friends and I went in for a sandwich. Our first issue was the wait, I think we were one of two people in there and waited about 15 minutes for sandwiches. The sandwiches were inedible - the chicken salad pesto we threw out. The other sandwiches were just not done right - dry and lacking in ingredients they claimed to have when we ordered. I'm shocked this place is in business and even more shocked it has good reviews on yelp. read more

The Californian sub wasn't that great- the cream cheese was cold and wasn't well spread so there were large chunks- yuck!

i dont get the appeal of this place. everyone i know always talks about "the pitchers of beer", but as a non-beer-drinker, i get to "experience" the food with a sober pallet. ive had a sandwich and a salad from this place- both were totally icky. the sandwich was supposed to be roasted turkey with various "thanksgiving type things" on top- and they used... like... oscar mayer type meat. the "round, out of the vacuumed package" sort of meat. frankly, i get kind of pissed off paying $6+ for fake lunch meat. the salad was supposed to be a chinese chicken salad. EW. EW. EW. EW. ive had airplane salads that failed less. the chicken was like the kind that came out of a bag in the microwave section at a grocery store. only nastier. it smelt like tuna. i hate tuna. moral of the story, if you dont drink beer, you dont need to eat their food. read more

First time here and it was great! Came here on a whim and ordered the Lou and the Italian beef dip, both were excellent. Probably one of the best subs I've had. Margaritas were decent as well. Extensive menu with choices for everyone. read more

Tons of options for sandwiches! I got the bbq cheesesteak, which was really tasty. The downfall is that this place is almost always so packed that it's hard to find a place to sit. I don't mind the college kids that like to hang out there and get a little loud, but I know that might not be some people's thing. Also, don't be fooled by their cheap drinks. I got two different margaritas that they have and didn't like either of them. And I've never turned down a margarita! read more

Solid sandwiches and drink specials. I have no complaints. I'd recommend any of the Philly cheesesteak sandwiches. They are fantastic. I will be back here in the future! read more

Once again I tried to order through hungry buffs and was denied due to their app. It must be the money. Or they must be super hot... but hungry buffs just isn't worth it. You have got to move on... I want to give you money. Lots of it. And I just can't. I literally can't even give you money with nothing in return because their app sucks so badly. A year later and I can't even order a fu*#%ing sandwich. Wtf mate... read more
