Don't let the outer appearance of this small burger shack fool you! This quaint lil' joint makes some seriously tasty (and filling) food, especially after a long day of outdoor activity. We were in need of some calories! Being a vegetarian myself, I ordered the veggie burger and I can honestly say that it's one of the best I've had. The fries are extra crispy and salty, and the frozen custard for dessert is to simply die for! The only complaint I have is the flies that were buzzing around inside where you order. Not sure if it's usually like that, but while I was there I couldn't help but notice how close the flies were flying to where they prepare the food. All in all though, I would most definitely return here for some yummy grub :) read more

All though we don't live in Colorado any longer, our memory puts Snarf Burger in a class by itself. We are kind of burger experts and have had burgers all over the world. Snarf burgers may not look like much and they come from an unassuming place, but they carve a place out in your culinary memory, like few burgers can. The staff has always been energetic, personable, and efficient. Definitely one of the best fast food burgers we have ever had. There is just something unique and awesome about their hot sauce. We can't wait to visit again and highly recommend Snarf Burger! read more

This place was solid years ago. Recently it's gone down hill. The service is terrible now, long waits rude staff. The food also isn't what it once was. One of the better burgers just isn't good anymore. Checkout other places for burgers, pass on this one. read more

Snarfburger is a small stand on the corner of 20th and Arapahoe and you could easily miss it if you don't know what you're looking for. But don't miss it! They have one of the best veggie burgers in town and my daughter and I love to stop by for a couple burgers and frings. Quick, easy and cheap. read more

lost in the construction on arapahoe is this cool little place. snarf's is one of my fav sandwich shops so i was expecting the same greatness with their burgers. we ordered a snarfburger, hot dog with cheese, fries, onion rings and 2 drinks = $20. not bad. burger was normal; simple and cheap. the hot dog is a hot link sliced down the middle and served on a hamburger bun. they also have frozen custard which i was tempted to try, but will save for next time. we ate our meal outside of the small shack building at a picnic table as indoor seating is scarce. if you're looking for a gourmet burger, this place isn't it. but sometimes you don't need anything fancy. overall, it was pretty decent. read more

Giving Snarf 4 stars because it is the quintessential college spot for a quick burger and some sweet tea. First of all let me just say that the tiny restaurant is packed with personality. Awesome set up with just a few seats indoors, as well as patio seating. It'll take you back to your college days of eating cheap and throwing onion rings at your friends. I always suggest just going for the classic snarfburger (maybe double up on patties!!). What's awesomely unique is that they use hot sauce as a topping. Simple yet innovative and really packs a flavor punch! read more

I'm a mostly vegetarian and was craving a burger & fries; like the REAL DEAL--no fast food crap. Found this place & oh so glad I cdid. #1 this place is pet friendly #2 all food is cooked FRESH made to order #3 great outdoor seating & window to pick up order when called #4 DELICIOUS fries #5 amazing burgers #6 just eat here!!! read more

This is by far one of the best burgers I've ever had. If you're looking for something fancy in a burger, this place isn't for you; but if you're looking for a simple, tasty, and filling meal, this is the place. Pricing is great and the menu is nice and simple without a bunch of overwhelming choices. Service was very friendly and fast. It's a small joint, so if it's busy seating is likely to be an issue but we were lucky and got there at about 2pm on a Sunday. I got the double with everything plus 1000 island dressing. It was delicious, especially with the crispy salty fries to go along side it! Highly recommend and will definitely be back! read more

The first time I went, I was very impressed. The grilled cheese was perfect! It had just enough cheese that it wasn't gooey and spilled out, but there was enough cheese that this wasn't toast. It was nice and crispy as well, not soggy. They also had the best commercial onion rings I have encountered. They must cook the onions before battering and frying them because you can bite through them easily and not have to worry about taking out the whole onion piece and leaving the breading behind. I also think this adds to the flavor. I was impressed enough by my experience and the opinions of others to try veggie burger. I had heard good things about the burgers in general, as well as the veggie burger. Unfortunately, I was severely disappointed. Not only does it cost nearly twice as much as its carnivorous counterpart, but it was overcooked, dry, and tasteless. As far as vegetarian burgers go in Boulder, I think Larkburger is too greasy. I would recommend instead Smash Burger or Burger King. Burger King you say? Yes! The Boulder location on 29th street serves Morning Star! However, the grilled cheese and onion rings are worth returning for, when a lighter meal is desired. The sweet tea is also delicious. The location (and parking) is small, but it suits their needs for now. There is also seating outside, which also allows you to get away from the ridiculously loud music. read more

I'm sure that the food here is lovely, but I would like to highlight the staff here--specifically the closing staff on Monday evening. Before close, while going home from a nearby restaurant, an individual started pestering and following my group. This was the only open place within sight, so we popped in and explained to the staff, who welcomed us to stay as long as necessary, and called the authorities so that we could get home safely. They made us feel safe and secure, and we are grateful that they made navigating the situation more comfortable. read more

Really good burgers but they always close an hour before they say they close. Super annoying.

I just finished my burger and fries from the little street corner food joint, snarfburger. The food was good, but I didn't think it was anything special compared to other places in the area. The wait was really long, and their service wasn't the best. All in all, it's a cool place to try, but I don't think I would go here regularly. read more

Great! Why 5 stars? The bathroom was cleaner looking then the building outside which was a nice surprise, the burgers are fantastic, it's clean inside and friendly inside, not to mention cheap!!! It is the perfect burger dive. read more

This was our first time here. We had a really solid burger and fries. The "Snarf" peppers were a good topping on my burger.

The snarf burger and strawberry shake. A perfect combo. And perfectly delicious! Excellent service as well. We will definitely be back.

Stopped in today with the fam. Great solid burger. zings with some hot sauce. My wife and I asked for our onions grilled. good bun. solid fries. excellent value. Very reminiscent of In and Out Burger - which is one of the few things we miss from L.A. - but a bit more interesting. already craving another one. read some earlier reviews that weren't as positive on the folks working there - they've only been open a month now - seem to have gotten it dialed in. Kudos. read more

Four stars ... because I've only been to Snarfburger once. If this is a consistent experience, five stars will be a given. Genuinely friendly staff behind the counter, seemed to take our compliments on the food to heart. Classic burger joint fries are very good, reminding me of those at Seattle's Dick's Drive-In. Burger was excellent, cheese melted perfectly, bacon crisp but not burned, toppings ample but not overpowering. Regarding the atmosphere, I loved it ... this is a burger joint staffed by young people who really seem to enjoy being there. If the place gets crowded and loud, soak up the energy. Like life, it's supposed to be fun. Update: we've visited a few more times and have received consistently good service and great food. If we lived closer, I'd be in the place almost daily. read more

You always get a prompt, fresh, delicious burger at a great value here. Bastien's Sugar Burger in Denver is one of my all-time favorites, and the Snarfburger is just as enjoyable. Put one in your face. read more

Snarfburger - Delicious. - Burgers Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I was really looking forward to trying this joint out - I had heard great things! We ordered 2 of their special bacon guacamole burgers, fries, and a custard to go. Fries were pretty good, and the custard wasn't anything to brag about, but once we got all the way home and bit into our burgers... all I tasted was SMOKE. The entire thing had a distinct burnt flavor covering up any possible taste from the components. There was almost no guac at all, probably a teaspoon spread thin under the bun. The bacon was also burnt, but at least it was noticeably contributing to the burger. By which I mean I could at least tell it was there. I still had hopes for the future, and perhaps tonight their kitchen was just having a rough time. Might be a while before I feel risky enough to attempt this again though.. read more

Best burger in town, the hot soda definitely makes it! Living so close makes it a nice place to walk for a late night grub sesh. Height recommend, and add a vanilla shake one the side! read more

Needs recycling or compost. I like the food, but not making so much trash just for a burger. read more

Snarfburger - Smiley shakes - Burgers Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

This place is FANTASTIC! I am absolutely raving about this fine establishment! I absolutely cannot say enough good things about this marvelous eatery! Wow! The burgers! Wowza! So many layers of juicy goodness! Have I told you about the fries! Super good! Kowabunga! But there was one time I was at Snarfs, Snarfing down a Snarfburger and there was this one employee--Danny, Donald, or Donny I believe his name was--who was SO RUDE. He made my boyfriend cry! He even seemed DRUNK! I just couldnt believe it. But he gave me a free burger and was kinda cute so like he kinda made up for it. Overall, YOU SHOULD EAT HERE! ITS AWESOME read more

Super meh. No gluten free options even though it appears when you search gluten free. So we ate our first burger in a cup. But no fries because those are coated in wheat read more

I ordered at 3:50, picked it up at 4:05. Both the fries (very cold) and the burger were cold. The burger was not made to match the ticket. When I said it was cold, staff really tried to tell me it's because I didn't pick it up quick enough. The app told me to pick it up at 4:15-4:25. The new fries were literally the saltiest fries I've ever had in my life--not good. The burger was drenched in the bbq sauce so much so that the bun was immediately soggy and also the packaging had sauce all over it. My first experience here sucked--they made it wrong and the crew really had a don't care attitude. The second visit sucked too. ‍ read more

When you move to boulder, everyone says "gotta go to Snarfburger". Well after a year or so we decided it was time, play by play. Upon approach I'm always interested to see what kinda music they like to represent their establishment with and this time.... well gangster rap was the choice, loop back to that later. Second indication I should be Leary was the surprising young man taking orders who amazing couldn't hear me for the music was so loud. Moving on to the actual food, the hairy French fries also double as toothpicks post a1 burger disaster which is awful, mine I believe was made from likely roadkill and my wife's veggie burger might have actually been made of straight cardboard. Also what ever you do don't sit outside, if you decide to attempt and consume some of their food hold your breath for the outside smells like a dumpster. I really was hoping for something great.... read more

Amazingly disorganized! Order and 10 min later get my wife's burger that was not what she asked for. She went back in, pointed out the error, and asked for the originally ordered burger. After 15 minutes the "manager" came out and asked for the order again. 10 min and still no burger and the "manager" comes out and tells another customer they lost his order and asks my wife again what's her order. Really? And then five minutes later the "manager" comes out and asks again what's on the burger. Exasperated, my wife said forget it and just return the money for the burger. No joy there and we just left without her burger or the money. Pretty unimpressive staff. read more

I love Snarf's sandwiches, so I was really excited to see that they were opening a burger joint. I've been twice now, and have been let down both times. Originally I heard from a friend that the burgers were going to be "just like In N Out". I love In N Out, so I was immediately stoked. Turns out - nothing like In N Out. Now, that's not necessarily a negative, but if you love In N Out and expect the burgers here taste like In N Out, you're bein' lied to, son! No, the real negatives are the food, the service, and the atmosphere. Both times I went to Snarfburger, the music has been loud offensive rap. I like rap - But Lil' Wayne blasting in my ear while I'm trying to place my order is obnoxious. I basically had to shout my order to an employee who was hanging over the register because he could barely hear me. Yes, the music was that loud. Perhaps in a larger area, the music wouldn't have been such a big deal, but Snarfbuger's interior - kitchen and seating - is maybe 500 square feet, probably smaller. Luckily they have some nice picnic tables outside (a plus!). During my first visit, I was the only one in the shop as I was placing my order, and because they were having a shift change, all of the employees had to give each other hugs and talk about their day before getting my order going. I counted 7 people behind the counter when I walked in, but no one seemed to be doing anything. So I screamed my order at the dummy, and sat outside. After10 minutes I checked to see if my order was ready, only to find out they hadn't even started it yet. One guy said they may have accidentally given it to someone else. Another guy asked me what I had ordered. Finally, after a lot of speculation about what could have happened, the lone female amongst the idiot men apologized, made my order, bagged it, apologized again, and wished me a nice evening. Her positive attitude was the only thing that I took away as a plus. Then I tried the burger - 'twas ok. Not a big fan of the bun. For some reason the burger was spicy which was a little weird at first, but I got over it. The onion rings I ordered were stale and chewy - major negative when it comes to onion rings. But I decided that maybe these were opening week issues, and I would give it a shot. Second time in was 6/11. The employees were about the same - chatting loudly over the blaring music. Had to wait more than 10 minutes for 1 burger. The burger was the same, just ok. The fries were soggy. Snarfburger gets 2 stars because the burger itself is decent. I am going to stick to Larkburger, though. read more

Reasonable service, but I order my burgers plain (beef/cheese/bun only) and in that combo the burger had no discernible flavor whatsoever. I literally spit out what I was chewing and threw the rest away as it wasn't worth the calories. read more

Totally a hidden gem on the way to the mountains. Fabulous double patty burger with Bologna.

Honestly one of the greatest burgers I have had here in Colorado. I love the fries and you can sit inside or out!

Favorite burger of all time! visiting from California 3 times this year and snarfburger is on the list of destinations multiple times! The fries are also amazing!! read more

If you're looking for an amazing burger with equally amazing fries, Snarfburger is the place to go. Better than Larkburger, Parkburger, 5guys, and even in and out. There's very limited seating inside, but with 300 days of sunshine what's the point of sitting inside? (for my southerners) They're sweet tea is also top notch. read more

We've eaten at Snarfburger since they opened every couple of weeks and the quality of each encounter has decreased with every visit. Like so many businesses, the care and attention of its staff to its products eventually falls to the wayside. In the case of Snarfburger, it was a matter of months. Tonight, we walked in to see 4 staff members behind the counter, 2 of them licking their fingers clean before putting gloves on to make an order. I mean, that should have been a red flag, but I'm not particularly picky and I was hungry... We put in our order, the cashier was certainly friendly and seemed on top of her work, however, when we took our seats to wait, we watched the 2 who were licking their fingers continue to eat sandwiches right next to the prep station. It started to seem like our order was taking too long and just as my significant other got up to ask about it, one of the finger-lickers says, 'wait... why are there two hamburgers in here?" looking into the bag containing our order. With cooling burgers in tow, we get home to eat and, well, not surprisingly, the two most carelessly, shabbily constructed hamburgers I've ever seen. Seriously, if there's a way to upload pictures to Yelp, I'll show you. It's embarrassing; there's a few scraps of lettuce, a half slice of cheese and a couple loops of onion on my S.O.'s veggie burger, and a crumbling patty, a few pieces of giardiniera, and smashed tomato on my hamburger. I don't know. I called to complain, because, really, I LIKED the joint just fine, but got the impression that my comments and discontents fell on deaf ears. So here it is, Yelp. Snarfburger once had something delicious, but don't bother. It's run by a bunch of immature bros and girls who are clearly unqualified to serve food to the public. Go to Five Guys--their fries are better anyway. read more

This is just real good, tasty food. Don't listen to the gourmet crowd and burger "aficionados", who hate on this place. The flavor combination is unique and delicious. However upsetting this may be to many yelpers, THIS IS A BURGER JOINT, not a place to sit around a cup of tea and talk about relationships. read more

Don't listen to those less than 5 star reviews. This place is perfect for a quick bite to eat. Kris and Kara are super nice and fast at making food! The burger is so delicious with its signature hot sauce. And since I can never make up my mind, the half fries and half onion rings is the best option for me. The shakes are amazing too. 4 bucks for a loaded cheeseburger. What more can you ask for? read more

If it wasn't for the burgers, this place is nothing but another sloppy business run by college frat kids. We always drive from longmont, and they close early and are never open after we make the drive. The phone is always left to ring and never is answered. Proof because I called while my husband went inside to order, and he watched them hang up on both of my calls. We called to check to see if they were open on the way there and they never answered. Also, the fries could be better and don't waste your money on the cheap soft serve ice cream. The menu has less than 15 items and it could be cleaner inside. But then again, what should you expect for a college kid ran burger joint as they laugh loudly and drum on the counters while making your food? Another day in boulder. read more

Don't eat here; food allergies are ignored by staff!!! Everyone in line raved about how good this place was, then we got our food. Maybe they had a new crew, although the whole place is new, so I would have thought everyone would be trained. The problem is, cross contamination... Yup, I said it, they don't care about food allergies. I'm allergic to onions; I asked for no onions... but guess what I got? I also asked for no hot sauce on my burger, but the workers decided that I would have hot sauce anyway. Also, all of our burgers were burnt on the outside and rare on the inside. I'm not a fan of undercooked beef, or food that makes me physically sick, so I won't be going back. If you're a young college kid who can digest what ever toxins they throw at you, have fun... the rest of us should just stay away. read more

What happened to this place. Totally ambivalent service from the moment I walked in. Two girls at the front counter. Ordered 2 patty Burger (no cheese) and Onion Rings. Burger was HORRIBLE - not kidding - plain bad and I threw half of it away. This place had a beautiful formula and flavor palette that was burger heaven. Now - not even close to the first 4 or 5 times I had been there. SO MUCH MUSTARD it overpowered everything. Used to have nice shredded lettuce with a nice ribbon of hot sauce through it - now not even close. Leaf lettuce (barely) and the rest of the condiments were hidden by a sandwich builder that had no passion or touch for what they were doing. I sincerely hope that someone in power reads this and fixes what was a real nice place to stop and enjoy a burger. Even the Onion Rings were not "right" at all. I can handle the loud music and the high school kids - but give me the food that I really loved. Worse 11 dollars I've spent in a long long time. Pure bad... please fix it. read more

Imagine a place where all clocks are stuck at 4:20 and where munchies go to heaven. Brace yourself, it's here on earth. While it is true that even mozzarella and ginger snap sandwiches can seem like a solid plan when high, this place delivers a feast of fatty goodness that will satisfy cannabis ninjas and straight core soberites alike. The staff, a group of galactic star gypsies who exist between space and time are both attentive and not. Catch them in the right orbital plane and you can order. Miss the solar opening and you'll be out of luck. When I went, I was the only person around for most of the time that I was there. Literally, I was the only one there. The staff had slipped dimensions apparently. When they returned, they offered me beer from a keg one of them had back at their apartments. I declined. I ordered food, waited, and when it was ready (remember, I am the only person that is or has been in the place since I arrived and I am sitting no more than ten feet away from the counter), the guy looks out into the room over my head and says "John... John... Number 286... Your food is ready." I'm not sure what his colleague's role was, but he was standing staring at the ceiling. Bizarre. And then the acid rangers slipped dimensions again and I was left alone to snarf it a down. It was great! read more

This burger would have been better if the buns weren't as stale/hard and if they were slightly sweet. They tried it.
