In what has become an every other year tradition, we came here on 12/26 for lunch. We were promptly seated by the bartender and our server did a great job of answering our questions and checking in. We ordered a large (18) order of buffalo wings and a medium (12) order of dill wings. The wings are of good size. The bleu cheese was fairly thick and came with celery. We also shared an order of cajun fries. They didn't have much seasoning on them. BBQ made for a good dipping sauce. An odd heads up, the bathroom sinks are powerful! Easy to spill water on yourself if you aren't expecting it. read more

We were there on a Wednesday night around 5:30. It took about 12-14 minutes to get the server to take our order. She was rarely visible in the restaurant. Refills were virtually non-existent. After about a half hour the food finally came. Oh, I should mention after 15-20 minutes the server came and said there was only enough soup left for one of the two people in our party that ordered it. The one with soup-and-salad opted to just have a salad. It was a seemingly interminable time to get the bill to pay. I noticed that she never changed the soup/salad to salad only, but after waiting some time and not seeing her around, I finally opted to just sign the credit card slip and leave, we'd been there way too long! Worst Letnes-Brother's restaurant service I've ever experienced. Considering I was just at one of their other places, Grizzly's, the day before, which always has great service, I'd suggest there's a management problem at Boulder. read more

Boulder Taphouse served me one of the most unsafe meals I've ever been given at a restaurant. I ordered the Stuffed Tap House Burger, which they proudly say is always cooked medium. What showed up was RAW inside. Not "oops, a little pink." RAW. Cold, mushy, and absolutely inedible unless you're trying to speed-run food poisoning. Mission accomplished -- I spent the entire night throwing up. When I called for a refund, the manager actually argued with me, insisting the burger is always medium and claiming they are not responsible if customers get sick from undercooked meat. That is one of the most unhinged things I've ever heard from someone running a kitchen. So to be clear: * They served raw beef * I got violently ill * They denied responsibility * And acted like this was somehow normal If a restaurant's defense is "we always cook it medium, and if it makes you sick that's your problem," then you should not be eating there. Period. Do not order the burgers. Honestly, don't eat here at all unless you enjoy rolling the dice with food safety and being talked down to afterward. St. Cloud has plenty of restaurants that understand basic cooking temperatures and accountability. This place isn't one of them. Stay far away. read more

HORRIBLE. We did not receive our food for an hour. The food was mid as hell. DO NOT GO HERE We came in with a big group in celebration. However, it was obviously a foolish choice to come here. Also, the place reeked of piss and shit. Not sure what happened or if someone blew up the toilets, but it wasn't just our area, multiple people talked about it with us. Guess their plumbing needs work. read more

Location is very convenient. Our server was nice but not attentive at all. The kitchen wouldn't cut a burger in half, we were told they don't like doing that. We shared a burger and app. The chips were just ok, some were stale. The fries were cold with the burger. We did fresh fries quickly. The person that brought us our beer was very unfriendly. The burger was good but not good enough to off set everything else. read more

Here with a large group of coworkers as we were staying across the street. Server got us all one drink and then never asked if anyone wanted a second despite coming back to drop off food. Food was pretty average. Brought us all our tabs after not asking if we wanted anything else. Just kinda strange. read more

*CELIAC REVIEW / Gluten Free wow ! a full page, front and back, GF menu with lots of options. Not only that, they have a GF fryer and separate prep area. All GF food comes out first so there's no chance for CC with other dish items. We tried the nachos as an appetizer, boneless wings (thai chili & honey BBQ), and the brown sugar burger with ranch fries. the nachos were great, wings were a little chewy/dry but nice to have as a celiac, and honestly I didn't like the burger at all - fries were good tho! read more

Charges $0.50 for mayo that should come for free with a cheeseburger. The tomato and lettuce were wilted. The fries were soggy. The lid wasn't secured on the top of shake spilling out everywhere making a big mess. Needless to say I won't be coming back here. Not worth the money. read more

we had the worst service tonight at Boulder in St. Cloud. we went in at 6 pm and ordered cheese curds, pop, burger and boneless wings. it took almost 45 minutes to get our cheese curds at 7:15 we questioned where our food was as the people behind us and a large table next to us all came in after us and they have all gotten their food. we asked for our bill and the manager came over to tell us our food went to the wrong table as our waitress told us the order was missing placed. The manager said would you like a shake we said no we will pay for what we ate and we are leaving he then said do you want a shake when he should of said I will pick up the $17 dollar bill. Very unprofessional.. read more

awesome patio! Our server Dillion was the best! So personable and attentive. We'll be back!

Enjoyed it greatly. The first time in a long time something came as advertised. (If you order the Reaper Burger, be prepared!) read more

Had a great experience. service by Finn was great. Will definitely be coming back. food was great

Glad we stopped by on our way home from the cabin. Cool atmosphere and menu and over 40 beers on tap. Wings were definitely solid, but I wish they were a bit more crispy. Buffalo sauce was about as classic as it gets but no complaints. Burger had great flavor and I liked that they had a byob option. Looking forward to stopping by next year! read more

I can't knock anything about this place, even if I tried. Wait staff was friendly and attentive, food was hot and delicious, atmosphere was clean and cool! I loved the outdoor tables with swings instead of chairs, old barrels for silverware stations, & wrapped bar. read more

My sister and I stopped here after throwing axes. We were 1/2 hour before late night happy hour appetizer specials. I ordered chicken ranch Cobb salad with no onions. The server even added no onions to ticket. Guess what I get, tons of chopped up red onions everywhere! I'm able to pick around because as a kid, I always did this. I ate maybe 1/4 of salad. At first I told server about it and then picked more. She came around again and my fingers reeked of onions and was offered to remake. I declined and just asked for it to be taken off my bill. It was taken off. The salad would have been good and it was massive. Maybe next time order something else, the kitchen staff can't read. read more

Boulder Tap house is a step above your typical chain beer bar. Along side 40 some tap beers to choose from is some damn good bar food fare as well as a friendly and knowledgeable staff. The taps are constantly rotating and changing so I'm not going to get to far into detail. I will say they had a great variety or local or national craft beer, it was carbonated correctly and cold. As far as food. I ordered the "Defibrillator" and this thing was ridiculous (in a good way). Two 1/2 pound patties topped with cheese curds, bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickles, jalapeños, banana peppers, mushrooms, onions and a special sauce. Absolute craziness! They burger was served a mile high showcasing all the wonderful toppings. I literally had to smash it down to eat it. It was good, I ate the whole freaking thing. A temperature preference was not offered and while it wasn't burnt it was well done and I would have preferred a little pink. This is a solid place to grab a bite to eat and have a delicious craft beer to wash it down. Most certainly would recommend and return. read more

We stopped on our way through St Cloud at a place that looked interesting hoping for some tasty bar food to go with a nice glass of beer. At least I got a decent beer. The food was tasteless. Adequate service nice atmosphere. I had fish tacos. I had a hard time even finding the fish. My husband had a southwestern salad. Completely without flavor all lettuce and no southwestern. Both of our soups tasted like they came out of a can. I really can't recommend this establishment. Seek elsewhere for flavor. read more

We stopped for the night in St Cloud, MN on the way home from an east coast trip. We walked to this place from our hotel. What a nice place, we were greeted and seated, given menus and conversed with the server. She was great! She was very helpful and knowledgeable on the menus. We ordered drinks and hors de voures. They were excellent! The menus had a big variety. We had fried pickles, fish tacos and wontons with spiced cheese and jalapeños. The pickles and women's has dipping sauce of their own. YUM!!! read more

I love the outside of this building. It gives off an up north cabin type look. Inside is nothing fancy. I just felt like it was not very inviting. They were not very busy for a Saturday night at 7. Lots of staff seemed to be hanging out. And the floor was just awful which made me feel like one of these people standing around could have certainly been tidying up the place. We each ordered a burger and honestly these were probably the tiniest burgers I have ever seen. Definitely not even a 1/4 pound. I would say smaller than a McDonald's patty. I also ordered Parmesan fries and they were not what I expected at all. They had cold shredded Parmesan sprinkled on top of them, I guess everywhere else I have had Parmesan fries they were nothing like this. They weren't even good. Our food took what seemed like a long time for how dead the place was. We ordered some Totchos as an appetizer and those came in a decent amount of time. And honestly are the reason for three stars because they were delicious. The rest of the food, not so much. Our waitress seemed like she hated her job and only came to check on us once so I sat with an empty beverage for quite awhile, which is ridiculous because i actually had two and they both sat empty, thank goodness I ordered two. read more

Stopped by on our way home from a trip to the Twin Cities. Had never been here. Service was a bit on the slower side, but still pleasant. Overall the food was good. The missus had a regular burger - which was very good. The veggie burger I ordered was OK. Not the best, but doable for a chain restaurant. read more

2nd time coming Great food, great beer choices, love the bacon jalapeno cream cheese wontons, they were soggy today that and the lagging service today brought it to a 4. A waitress let us know our waiter was behind, greatful for the heads up and she made sure to get our daughters order started before our waiter even got to the table. :) friendly staff fair prices, nice seating with tons of TVs. read more

Great food good service. Will go back sometime in future here soon. Had a burger on cranberry wild rice bread. Was kick ass.

Burgers were downright delectable with all the bacon options. Adequate beer options. Our waitress went out of her way to get us good seating for view of the game, read more

Hey if you want uncooked rubbery wings this is definitely this place to come!!! Then if you let the waitress know the manager doesn't even care oh but he took half off the wings!!! Then the waitress continues to harass you like your the problem!!! Hey throw your wings in a fryer that might help!!! Never again!!! read more

The Boulder Tap House - a table with drinks and menus - Burgers Near Me - St Cloud, Minnesota

This place is off the hook!!! The place is setup as a bar and grill but has an eating side that can easily be classified as a "date night" as long as your partner is into/doesn't mind lots of TVS on the walls. They are not all doing the whole sports thing, some are the music they are playing...but however you look at it, you need to be down with a whole plethora of tv selections to choose from. The burgers were juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection! They are cooked exactly to your specifications, and you will leave more then happily full! They have a HUGE burgers and fries selections going on here, and one sounds just as amazing as the next...so give yourself a few minutes to just inhale the smell of angus heaven, and dream about what your next bite of greatness will taste like! You can't go wrong at this place, so try a new Burger each time you come! The service is just as much a five star as the food itself which was a precious gift all in itself! All around this place was set apart from a lot of mainstream places in this specific area, and we left wanting to come back for more! We were told by the locals that their milkshakes are "to die for", however, it was nearly impossible after the entree to eat another bite...so I guess I will have to leave that adventure for another day! (And there will be another day at this place...that's a promise!). Those in our party who ordered Bloody Mary's said they were one of the best they've ever had in their ENTIRE lives!!! So, for those of you who are Bloody Mary fans you might not want to miss out on this one! read more

The BEST juicy Lucy I have ever had! Always fabulous service, highly recommend you give them a try!

Great food, huge menu, best beer selection, great staff. Lots of TVs for sports, but if you don't like a lot of screens, don't look at them. Wish I lived closer. read more

Boulder Tap House is one of those large chain restaurants that doesn't really feel like a large chain...and that's a good thing! We've eaten there a couple of times and have been happy with the experience both times. The menu is pretty standard when it comes to casual places like this (burgers, sandwiches, appetizers, etc.), but the quality is there. It's really good! The reason for the high marks this time around was the larger selection of gluten-free menu items. My wife and I both had sandwiches on their gluten-free buns and they were great! Tasted like the real thing . . . not gluten-free. Plus, the meats on the sandwiches were super tasty. She had a chicken sandwich and I had the cuban! Both were equally delicious. We been there before the whole gluten-free thing, and were happy with the "regular" items too. Large selection of aps, burgers, beers to wash it all down with. It's all good! read more

We got there for lunch. The restaurant is catering to sport fans. You can see it on the TVs hanging on the walls. I never saw so many of them ! The decor is comfortable cabin style. We got greeted friendly and asked whether we want the bar or restaurant. We where hungry and got into the dining area. On the first look at the menu list, I thought, that the prices where on the high side. IT was for the most burgers and choices for $ 8.99. But once we saw the size of those supreme burgers, we were hooked and declared ourselves a fan of it. It was worth every bite of it ! I had the "Muenster Bacon Shroom Burger". The names are very original, as well as those HUGE burgers. They are delicious ! Not for a calorie aware person, thought, as someone may guess now ! IT made up for the small amount of fries included. The refills came fast and without asking for it. It was getting slowly full and also the noise level got louder. Some had their children with them, but I wouldnt recommend to take them there. Its closed to a bar and there are not many choices for small children. There are alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Their signature is the tap beer. All in all. We were enough than satisfied, and recommend Boulders Tap House to anyone, who is hungry enough. I would have given 4 stars, but wasnt impressed with all those TVs on the walls. read more

I am in love with the cheese curds here. If you ask me, they are the best cheese curds you can find anywhere. They're not what you expect because they don't even look like your typical cheese curds. They are so well prepared! Not too fatty/deep fried. They look like blocks of heavenly cheese, and come in two different kinds of cheese. I like to come here to grab a drink every once in awhile too. I'm not the biggest fan of beer, but this place is notorious for a wide selection of beers. I did try the beer sampler where you can pick 4 and try them. I did enjoy that. Boulder Tap House has a fun feel, and is the place to go if you're looking to hang out with friends and get a bite to eat! read more

In my earlier review, I spoke of the noise level. Recently, The Boulder Tap House opened a patio. I'm happy to report that those desiring a bit quieter place to visit, will thoroughly enjoy the patio. It offers some nice sun, or shade, as well as the great food you've come to expect from the Tap House - delicious wings, burgers, and who can forget their cheese curds. For about $10, you can have their special - which includes a classic burger, fries, and a shake or malt. You can't go wrong. I'm always amazed at how many people are at this restaurant when I go. It's a popular hangout. read more

Went here for the first time at the recommendation of our daughter. I will most certainly go back and I live 50 miles away. The service was fantastic. The food was great. The beer selection is amazing. All around a great experience. Only one criticism and that was an undercooked burger in our order. NBD. Could happen anywhere. Check this place out. Great location for watching sports. read more

My brother and I and my son stopped at the Boulder tap House. I had just come from the Minneapolis VA because I had had a few heart attacks. My brother and I ordered the teriyaki chicken bowl and my son ordered chicken strips with fries. We also got an order of onion rings and I got a bowl of French onion soup. Now I'm going to start this review out by saying that Mandy the manager the following day did refund some of our payment. The reason the refund was in order was the food was terrible. The teriyaki chicken bowls tasted horribly. The onion rings came out almost black. The French onion soup tasted like somebody had dumped a bottle of onion powder in it thus making it uneatable. Food wise we will never go back there again. The service was fantastic though. Our waitress tried many times to make it better and we have nothing bad at all to say about her, only compliments for her. As I said we called the next day and Mandy was a great help of refunding some of that cost of a meal since we actually didn't eat 2/3 of it. We brought it home to our dogs and they wouldn't eat it. read more
