We went to Boulder Tap House in Ankeny with a party of five and a half -- Kim and I, three of my…read morekids, and my one-month-old granddaughter. We sat at a high top with a bench, and it actually worked really well for having the baby with us. Drinks and waters came out efficiently, and our waitress was kind and courteous. The food did take a little while, but everything came out together, which I appreciate with a larger table. My fries were room temperature when they arrived, but they quickly replaced them with piping hot ones, so no real complaint there. Our table had a good mix: the Pulled Pork Sandwich for $12.99, Crispy Chicken Wrap for $14.99, Tequila Lime Chicken Tacos for $14.99, BTH Classic Smash Burger for $14.99, and a medium order of house-made boneless wings for $16.99. No one complained, which is usually a pretty good sign with our crew. The restaurant was clean, fairly busy, and all the staff we interacted with were friendly. Drink prices seemed reasonable too. We were also able to hang out and visit for quite a while without feeling rushed, which made it a really nice family stop. It is close to home, the food was good, and my daughter picked up the bill for Father's Day, so that made it taste even better. We will definitely be back.

There also isn't any seating so you have to take it to go also. Overall this is 0 stars don't go, I would rather season my fingers and chew on that then eat here.

The sourdough was perfectly crispy, and there was plenty of gooey melted cheese--I even got an awesome cheese pull! The only thing I would change is that I thought my sandwich could have used a little more salt, but that might just be because I'm a salt addict. The fries were perfectly crispy and paired so well with their homemade ranch. I even confirmed with our waitress that it was homemade, and she was super friendly and helpful. We were seated quickly, and since we came around 2:00 p.m. on a Monday, we had the place to ourselves. The restaurant has a casual atmosphere with a bar, and the bathrooms were very clean and nice. The portion sizes were just right--enough to leave me comfortably full without feeling stuffed. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal and would definitely consider coming back!

Its setup is very dated, you can tell whoever owns it has no pride and doesn't want to spend any money on the decor. Also, they dont care about the setting the environment for example; we went this past Wednesday night and at 10pm every light was still on full blast. Anyone with any bar knowledge knows that this has a negative effect on bar sales. Food took about 45 minutes to come out ( we ordered at 7:30) and they weren't busy, I actually did a table count. Including us three other tables. Two couples and what looked like a mom, pop with a child who came in long after we did. Our table was 3 adults. I ordered medium boneless wings with sauce. I got medium bone in wings dry rub. I was too hungry to care at that point. My friend order a cheeseburger and got some black bean burger thing. After waiting so long for food, you would expect it to be right. Our server was nice, can't blame him. Sadly this is standard for thos location. I tired to talk my friend out of going, but she didnt think it would he that bad. As we left she said she definitely wont go back. The vibe here is always wrong. When we go to other locations it's a completely different feeling and vibe. The other locations feel cleaner, they look and feel like a bar / eatery. This location always feels like a pit stop.

It took a fortnight to get the actual order placed. They have some good late night specials (some apps are $4), but beware of sneaky, hidden up charges. For example, I got the chips/queso.

The ranch here is awful and tastes like food service 5 gallon stuff. The buffalo cauliflower was admittedly good...nice and crispy and a large portion.

For an appetizer we ordered the onion rings. They are shoestring rings which are my boyfriend's favorite and he loved these. His only complaint was that they needed more salt, but there was some at the table so he just added his own. The ranch that comes with them is also very good. For pizza, we split the Northsider and thought it was delicious. The pepperoni they have is so good. I'm not sure where they are getting it, but it's my favorite pepperoni. To us, it seemed a little pricey for pizza, but it was so delicious we thought it was worth it. We typically don't eat all our leftover pizza, but there was not a single slice left over. The service is wonderful and they even let us know ahead of time that pizza was running a little longer when we ordered which didn't bother us, but it was appreciated they told us. They even box your leftovers up which is so appreciated. Everyone was kind, the pizza was 10/10, and the drinks were cold. We will be back!

The house curly fries were perfectly seasoned and delish. The rest of the menu looks great, and I hope to be back next time I'm in town.

Huge bar, but not a ton of seating. Large parking lot. There is no area to wait and there will be a wait if you don't have a reservation. We waited about 25 minutes for a table without a reservation. Clean bathrooms. Service: Super friendly staff that were rolling with the punches as it was absolutely packed. Food: OH MY GOD. So good, so so soooooo good. The food here honestly reminded me of my time in Ireland, this is the closet I've got to that level of amazingness without actually being there. Even the brown bread reminded me of many meals in County Clare. I forgot to take a photo of the corned beef and cabbage and potatoes but I will never forget them. Perfectly tender, and seasoned. I will dream about this place and hope that some day I end up back in Iowa.
