Normally one of our very favorite places in Boulder until the unacceptable service we experienced recently. With time constraints on our schedule and a busy waitress who couldn't refill drinks for 20 mins, we kindly asked Tony - who was standing around doing nothing, for some help. Instead of apologizing and refreshing our beverages, Tony chose to rudely lecture us on "having more patience" and disgustedly walked away from our table shaking his head - as if we, the unattended, paying customers were the problem. If Tony can't muster up the minimal effort it takes to happily serve customers, maybe he's chosen the wrong profession. Despite the otherwise enjoyable meal, this experience left a really bad taste in our mouths. read more

I can't believe I've lived in Boulder for almost 5 years and never tried this place before! I loved the food and drinks here. There seems to be a wealth of history that I haven't explored yet. I had excellent service. In my experience, a small group of us shared a few different dishes and there isn't a thing I wouldn't recommend. If you want to check this place out, I'd recommend making a reservation or allowing a wait time. It seems to be a popular place and even though they have a lot of seating, it is limited due to COVID restrictions. read more

I met a friend for lunch at The Depot. It was my first time there, and it's a really beautiful space both inside and out. They seem to be doing really well, and I'm super happy for that! The service was good, with one glaring exception. I ordered the prime rib sandwich with horseradish sauce (as it is listed on the menu) and french fries. Food came out in good time, but when the server came she put my sandwich in front of me and said "we're out of horseradish sauce, what other sauce do you want?" Just a straight statement of fact, no apologies. I can almost admire that! But not for a $21 sandwich. Blindsided and stuck for a quick answer, I stuttered out "ranch?" Because that's all that came to my miniscule mind in that moment when it comes to sauces. Maybe I should have stuttered "bechamel?" I used the tiny little cup of really quite good ranch she brought to dip my fries into, and the fries were also really quite good, so it wasn't a total loss. BUT We all know a menu item should be what it is. Any substitutions should be communicated before the actual order is delivered, and okayed. Especially for a $21 sandwich. And we all know that if horseradish is mentioned, we love horseradish, want horseradish, and expect horseradish. Especially on anything beef. This sandwich was nothing to me without horseradish. I know you're all thinking "why didn't you complain or say something right there?" Because that's not in my nature, and it's not my job, and because I don't want a dining experience to be about arguing and refusing. In an ideal situation, the kitchen staff should have let the servers know before hand about the horrifying horseradish outage. If they didn't, the server should have realized at plating, and rather than just plunking it in front of me, let me know and offered me the chance to order something else. So this would have been a 4 star review because of that hiccup, but the prime rib had more than a little gristle in it, a major downer for me. So overall a great space, decent service, decent food, which is three stars in my book. Also, I tipped 25%, which everyone should do every time, unless they think the server was malicious or absolutely terrible. Here, I just think she was either misinformed by the kitchen staff or not trained on what to do. read more

As the snow front moved in, we wrapped up a ski boot fitting session in Boulder and I got a mad craving for a hearty bowl of French onion and my go-to was closed. We Stopped by Roadhouse Boulder Depot for a late lunch and wow! were we glad we did! Everything we ordered was tasty and fresh! Starting, of course with French Onion Soup! DEELISH! Seared tuna salad and the pad Thai peanut chicken bowl was outstanding, and the kids burgers were worthy of praise. This place rocks. Even the Arnold Palmers were perfect. We ordered some food goto on the way on the door for dinner and had a second feast that night. The cooks, bartender and staff at RBD are really excellent, this old train station restaurant and bar are complemented by a great menu. I wish we lived closer! read more

My boyfriend and I have a tradition of ordering food on Friday nights. We thought this place looked good so we ordered it. The first few time we ordered it the food was amazing. The last 2 times we have ordered from them we have been missing the same items from the meal. The food quality has also gone down. Don't recommend! read more

On 6/14/2023, 4 of us had dinner together, bill was approximately 150ish before tip. I submitted this review to the restaurants website as feedback and no one has gotten back to us or reach out in any way. I guess I'll post it here as a Yelp review. We ordered: Poke Bowl - Tuna was seared, poke is raw seasoned fish/shellfish heavily seasoned Hawaiian fare. So the bowl was a tataki bowl or perhaps a seared tuna bowl but Poke is an incorrect name. Plain burger - I wasn't asked about the cook, came well done which was OK. I did have to ask for lettuce tomato and pickle, ketchup, mustard as none were offered. I assumed these were standard? The Kale salad was excellent. No salt or pepper on the table Fish tacos - 2 fish tacos for 19 seems skimpy, even with the potato chips which were excellent. I gave my husband 1/2 my burger as he was looking at his plate in a disappointed manner. Our server xxxxx was not very friendly. From the beginning she did not smile once. She took our order in a competent manner. My friend xxxxx ordered one of the speciality cocktails and he did not like it. I tasted myself and it was bitter and bland. We let the server know and she stated "I'm not allowed to comp drinks, but I'll ask" To be clear we were not asking her for a free drink. She brought another drink without a word or a glance and left the table. The server did not apologize or state anything along the lines of : - I hope this one is better. - Sorry about that, let's get you something you will enjoy, I'd recommend.... - Would you like me to ask the bartender to remake the drink? We will not come back or recommend this restaurant moving forward. read more

Ever since we moved to Boulder my boyfriend and I have been coming to Roadhouse Depot. It is amazing EVERY TIME! The restaurant is beautiful and charming with wood furniture and accents and an open kitchen. For drinks I am an avid cider drinker and my boyfriend loves beer. We both always find a rotating draft we love. When we don't get a draft we get cocktails. I recommend the mules! Both the Kentucky and the peach are delicious and not too sweet! To eat we always start with the pretzels and queso because they are THAT good. Our other favorites include the French onion soup and the Thai cauliflower. Now on to the main event: BURGERS!! I have gotten both the Jam Burger and the Roadhouse Burger. The Jam burger has arugula, onion bacon jam, and Brie cheese. It is perfect!!! The Roadhouse is a burger with the brisket piled on top. It was also great. Very meaty and very salty but satisfying. My boyfriend is a vegetarian so he gets the Magic Mushroom Burger and subs the beef patty for the Beyond Patty. They are very accommodating to vegetarians and this switch. The magic mushroom burger has a truffle aioli which is delicious!! And their fries!!! They are twice fried and super crispy and perfectly salty. If you aren't in the mood for a burger, there are other options. The Mushroom flatbread has a truffle sauce which is not to miss! The Short Rib Enchiladas are also amazing! Honestly, everything here is amazing and I would recommend Roadhouse any day! read more

My wife and I recently visited the Roadhouse Boulder Depot the afternoon of Sunday, September 29th. The restaurant was not busy at all - maybe 10-15 other patrons. The service wasn't the greatest - we waited an extraordinarily long time for our appetizer, our drinks refill and our food. The food was decent, but nothing extraordinary. The short rib enchiladas were good, but there was way too much cheesy sauce on top. The mushroom pizza was also good, but the mushroom part didn't go to the edge of the crust - it didn't come close. There was about 1.5 inches of crust with nothing on it. The ambiance was decent - it would be nicer if they really went in for the old train depot vibe instead of just a few things that remind you the place used to be an old train depot. There are TVs everywhere (and some actually work), so it has more a sports bar vibe instead of a train vibe. read more

Roadhouse Boulder Depot - The prime dip was fire! - New American Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I love a great history lesson at my most vulnerable moments. Food was great, got the braised short rib.

This place superseded my expectations. I got the loaded nachos on the happy hour menu, with truffle fries from the sides menu. For being in the happy hour menu, the portion size was still the same and in fact it came with so many delicious nachos, that filled the entire tray. The truffle fries were absolutely delicious and enough to be shared with the table. The quality of the food was superb. The table also ordered wings that came is Asian flavor as well as buffalo , well seasoned exactly like advertised. Artichoke dip was fantastic with some fried chips on the side that were a bit spicy but made for an interesting seasoned flavor. I would recommend this place 100 percent. I found it by googling best wings in Boulder and I can say the restaurant lived up to the reviews I had found. Went there for the wings and enjoyed all the rest of the items ordered on the menu equally as much. read more

Guys! Just in from Cincinnati and needed to get some food. Hands down the best Margarita pizza I've ever had! Fresh basil and the tomatoes were fantastic! Service was also great and the Avery IPA now a fav. Kudos! read more

Food was good. Had the impossible burger and arrived late at night in denver. Apps were pretty good too

I would have given this place less then one star if I could,we booked a reservation for 20 people for a wedding rehearsal dinner showed up and they were closed ,no call no heads up,while we were standing out front two other parties of ten showed up same story had not heard from anyone from the restaurant I'm guessing that the owner or manager just doesn't care about integrity when having a restaurant that takes reservations months in advance and to add insult you could see people inside walking around trying not to be seen More then likely they just don't care makes you wonder if they feel the same about the food they cook or the cleanliness of the kitchen read more

Our table started with a round of craft drinks and Brussels sprouts as an appetizer. The fat of the goat cheese contrasted beautifully with the sticky sweet and spicy sesame sauce. The sprouts were the crispiest I have ever had. Absolutely scrumptious. For the main course, I had the Magic Mushroom Burger with a fried egg and avocado, and subbed in the (vegetarian!) beyond burger patty. The burger itself was a little too salty for my liking, but still great nonetheless. As for the omnivores at my table, I heard great reviews on the Lemon Chicken (pictured), Short Rib Bowl, Roadhouse Burger, and the Salmon Bowl. The service was fast and friendly, and very accommodating to my vegetarian diet. Our waitress was SO funny and personable! The atmosphere is very trendy and high scale, yet spacious enough to not be concerned about dining mask-free. When polling our table of 6, four people said 5 stars and two said 4 stars. Overall, I would return. read more

This place was SO delicious. oh my gosh. everything we ordered was SO GOOD. the appetizers of potato chip nachos and the brie (especially the brie) were jaw dropping. Had a bit of a problem with the service - as in, we got seated and the waitress proceeded to ignore us for 20 minutes in favor of doing little tasks like wiping down the soda machine. We watched her do it! Plus the food on the tables next to us had yet to be cleared. The hostess noticed and talked to her, but it was like, odd. Even the hostess talking to her didn't get her to come over and talk to us for a few more minutes! She wasn't wearing a mask so it wasn't a COVID thing? Sure it was later in the evening but the place wasn't exactly closed or empty, all the other guests were just in a different waitress' section. It wasn't until another table came in she started to do her job. Altogether a little weird, but with the food quality and knowing one person does not a restaurant make, totally four stars! Can't say enough good things about the food. read more

Delicious and friendly service. I ordered the short rib enchiladas. Very yummy with crispy Brussels sprouts! There was a bit of a sweet sauce topping both that I enjoy, for some it may be a little 2 sweet. All around enjoyed and will be coming back to try more! read more

I would eat the turkey burger if they dropped it on the ground first. 10/10. I even had it with a gluten free bun. That alone says everything you need to know. Run, don't walk. read more

Classic American Roadhouse. We all had beef & it was good. Service was just fine. I'd return.

Quick stop for a Bills game while out of town. The food was decent but very overpriced and very small portions. Expensive drinks/expensive meal for not getting a lot of food. Service was great though. There was a pay-to-park garage behind which was a little annoying having to pay on a Sunday afternoon. read more

This place was very recommended on Yelp and kept coming up whenever I looked for good gluten free options in Boulder that weren't on Pearl st. We arrived during happy hour, so were able to try quite a few apps that we wouldn't normally order. The salmon cakes were a bit salty but delish. They are a bit spicy so be ready for a nice kick in the buds. I enjoyed the heat more than anyone else and destroyed the slaw they came with. The ranch chips and dip, wooooooo delicious salt bomb, if you like ranchy salty chips, which I do. I ended up ordering two of the Mahi tacos and the brussels. The wife ordered the shrimp dish, and the kids ordered the kids cheese burger and the pepperoni pizza. Let's start with the kids... they hated their food. My daughter complained the burger wasn't "juicy", I took a bite and it was fine. A little on the dry-side, but nothing to send back. The pizza had rosemary and something else in the dough and it pretty much overrode any flavor from the generous amount of pepperoni. I took a few bites and agreed it was not very good, especially with such a strong flavor for kids. The wife absolutely enjoyed her dish and really appreciated the great sounding gluten free options that were available. The zucchini noodles were cooked to perfection, the sauces were good, the shrimp were very good sized. She liked her dish quite a bit. For me, the tacos were fish tacos. Good, well seasoned, good size, decent slaw, but I needed more hot sauce. The brussels were absolutely destroyed from a deep fry point of view. Way overdone but still covered in tasty sauces. The drinks were good, decent beer list and wine list. My old fashioned was decent, can't complain. If you have a chance to use the restroom, the lounge downstairs is pretty epic looking. the tile work is amazing. All in all a pretty decent experience. We might come back and order some different items, especially with the gluten free options, but overall just an OK experience. The service was good too. read more

We sat outside in the sun on their deck and the ambience is so beautiful and serene. The service was very friendly and accommodating with us getting different bread on the sandwich and automatically bringing two spoons for our soup. We ordered the chips and guac with the salsa and queso as the appetizer. The flavors were phenomenal. The salsa was the perfect amount of spice. We also had the French onion soup which cooked to perfection. They also make their own homemade ranch potato chips which were very yummy. Definitely recommend! read more

PSA: About to go full Karen on this restaurant So.... They made our party socially distance due to CDC protocols, yet the worker in the back can't follow the protocols and wear his mask. They took 20 minutes to get our water, another 30 minutes to get our orders, and finally an hour after that we got our food... BUT WAIT THERES MORE!!! So our food finally arrived a majority of our party either had cold food, burnt food, or no food... Awful and would not recommend read more

What a delight of a restaurant off of the normal congregation if restaurants in Boulder! I've eaten here several times and each time the food, drink, atmosphere and service are all great. The whole location is decorated with fun and beautiful style. My only criticism is that the bathrooms are down stairs and may be hard to access. I can't wait to try the patio in warmer weather! The blood orange margarita is delicious! Try the Bronx streak. The Asiago herb butter on top is extravagant and adds such amazing flavor to an already flavorful steak. read more

As a special reward for helping a friend and hustling a 7-mile walk, I took myself out for a solo luncheon. I had in mind where I wanted to go. In my mind's eye I recalled an intriguing site near a conference I'd attended. Per usual me I couldn't recall where it was (directionally challenged here), so all I had to work with was the description of the cuisine and the architectural style of the building. Found it - made easier that Boulder is the foodiest small town in America (or so I've read). Relaxing ambience in a beautiful techno rustic setting was definitely complimented by a crisp M. Chapoutier Belleruche Dry Rose, and Keto friendly Shaved Roast Beef with Au Jus and Gruyere, creamy Horseradish, and Lemon Parm dusted Kale. Friendly and efficient lunch service, rounded off a meal that exceeded my lofty expectations of a post-COVID indoor dining re-introduction. I'll be back, Boulder Depot! read more

I'll keep it short. Service was horrible. We were seated promptly but then sat and waited so long we almost got up and left. In hindsight we should have. Waitress finally came and took our order.

Mehhh. What happened Boulder Depot? I was underwhelmed on last visit. I tell people about The Roadhouse Burger-that they have to try it. This time it did not live up to my hype. It was kind of dry with very little prime rib on top, What really got me though was the margarita- $10- so price is ok if it was a regular size drink in an old fashioned/ lowball glass but this was a very small rocks glass and filled to the brim with ice- total bummer! Server was friendly and attentive. read more

Roadhouse Boulder Depot - Steak Cobb Salad - New American Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

We love this place. It is conveniently located near the bus station and the Hyatt Place Hotel. The service is good and they've got all the games on. On Saturdays they do AYCE buffalo wings. They have four flavors. - buffalo, BBQ, Parmesan, and Asian Zing. The Asian Zing almost has an Indian curry type flavor and was a dry rub. This one we liked the least, but still thought it was tasty. They serve you 5 at a time so they are always fresh and hot. The have some delicious sandwiches too. I got a burger with roast beef on top and an Au Jus dip on the side. It's got a great train vibe and the downstairs space is great for a private party. read more
