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

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

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

Decent spot, food took a while on a slow Thursday night No worries. Food was also average at best. 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

My family and I love this place & freqent here about 4 times a month!!! The staff are always very nice & helpful. Food is good & hot. Take out is always perfect too :) read more

Came for an early dinner with the family and had to wait for over thirty minutes for a table when we could clearly see no less then 10 tables open. Very very very poor planning and service. read more

Excellent food! Great service! Make sure to get the jalapeño bacon cheddar wontons! Amazing!

We enjoyed a late evening dinner. My 8 YO said it was his best dinner out. We all enjoyed our burgers and fries. Service was great..

Friendly service, great food and reasonable prices. We went here later at night so not sure what they are like during busy times, but our waitress was very attentive and our food and fresh and hot when we got it. The cheese curds are HUGE and definitely enough for 3-4 people. Burger and wings were tasty and their fries were actually better than most. If we lived closer we would be back often. read more

The Boulder Tap House - Huge cheese curds! You can get white or yellow cheese or a mix. - Burgers Near Me - St Cloud, Minnesota

Nice and clean, good drinks. Service has always been great! My only complaint is that their burgers sound SO amazing on the menus, and they are good but they are lacking a little bit of seasoning. The beef itself seems kinda bland. I would definitely still go back as the fries are great and the service is good. Just be prepared to season the burger a bit. read more

Not a St. Cloud fan. For a larger city in MN it sure is a foodie wasteland. Luckily there is now a place I can go to drink some craft beer and try and forget that I'm actually in St. Cloud. This place has plenty of taps, I didn't count but it looked like 30 or so craft taps and then nearly 10 crappy macros, at least they have something for everyone I guess. I was going to go with a solid 3 stars but then I thought about it again. For St. Cloud this place deserves another. The food is bar food but it's a relatively massive step up from your typical crapplebees or any other similar place. They have a really big menu with plenty to choose from including a pretty nice selection of wings. BTW, the inferno wings aren't very hot but they're pretty good still. If you're a hardcore spice junkie like me they won't cut it. The burgers however not made with grass fed or local beef are actually pattied in house (at least that's what they told me) so that's at least an upgrade from typical bar burger frozen pucks and really, they are pretty tasty. I've sat at the bar both times I've visited and the bartenders have all been very friendly so no complaints there. All and all this place is an upgrade from most of the places in St. Cloud. The food is actually on par with Granite City now that I think about it but the beer selection is light years ahead. read more

Let's start with the positives: the bar is awesome and the staff is great. Now with that our of the way let's get to the real issue: THE FOOD IS TERRIBLE. Some of the worst, most overrated food I have ever experienced. The burger was bland and the only thing making the cheese curds passable was the insane assortment of epic beers they had readily available for me. This place is a great bar first and foremost, but the food is so bad I cannot in good conscience give it a passing grade. If you want to get bombed to the point where you legitimately do not care what enters your mouth, by all means please order the entire menu. Otherwise, stop by the bar to sample their crazy arrangement of organic, chocolate, oatmeal beers and leave to get food anywhere else. Even a fast food restaurant is more acceptable. read more

The swing seats in the patio are cool. The burgers we ordered came out raw and inedible. When we asked for them to re-cooked to the proper temperature, which they eventually did, but only after attempting to lecture us about what medium rare looks like. After bringing the now overcooked burgers, the lady said that their new policy is to cook all burgers well done so they don't have to deal with picky customers like us. Good times. I would rate as zero stars if this app allowed it. I will not be returning, even if I survive the E.coli. read more

Boulder Tap House is in a prime location - probably one of the best locations in town. So it was no surprise when our group suggested we stop there on the way to a wedding reception in kimball. The first half of our party showed up to sticky menus - not ideal, it's something we can overlook. We ordered beers and a few apps, and the waiter, per usual left us with some app plates. Unfortunately, we were left with plates that came out of the dishwasher in a stack - there was cheese stuck to a number of plates. Gross. The waiter was great, super apologetic, but when nothing's wrong you don't need to apologize. The appetizers weren't stellar and I'm not sure if they'd be enough to entice me back. read more

Great prices on drinks, love their sweet potato fries . Great place for watching any sports since they have several TV's everywhere. Will probably come back here when I'm back in St. Cloud. Gre at and fast service. read more

Stopped here last night with a group of 14 friends! My fourth trip to this place. Our server was friendly and attentive! Even though we were a large group she didn't add in a gratuity, which I appreciate as I tend to tip more than what they give themselves. The food was great, as usual! Looking forward to my next trip to St Cloud so I can stop in again. I always tend to order the Brown Sugar & Smoked Cheddar burger, mmmmm! No one had complaints, they ordered a few different flavor of wings, side salad, tacos, and different burgers. Thank you Boulder Tap House!! read more

The burgers are ok and the cheese curds are awesome. Chunks of cheese cut in squares and fried. The dipping sauce is what brings them over the top. The one problem I have with this place is that there are too many tvs and there are always screaming kids running around. I know that it is a sports bar, but when I am trying to enjoy a meal with my husband I would like to be able to hear him talk. read more

I visited the Tap House recently for dinner with family - it's your standard type of sports bar restaurant, but with many more craft beer choices and smaller menu. Most of the menu choices are burgers and wings, which might be an issue for some, but not for me. Beer menu was pretty solid, lots of good craft beers on tap, and decent happy hour deals. Had it not been right after all the holiday parties and massive amounts of food, I would've tried the "defibrillator" burger - this monstrosity was a double bacon cheeseburger with cheese curds on top - sounded pretty epic. Positives: -Good craft beer menu, with decent prices during happy hour -Awesome huge cube cheese curds -Decent burger and fries -Tons of TVs, good place to catch a game Negatives: -Menu is a bit slim -Doesn't really add anything too original or new I enjoyed the food here, I was just a little disappointed it didn't add anything really that new to the eating options in the St. Cloud area - especially with Old Chicago, Granite City, and Buffalo Wild Wings all nearby. But, I'd like to try the wings sometime, so i'll be back for another visit. read more

Went here for dinner and drinks and everything was going well until female bartender messed up my friends drink order which was made with 7up and it was just seltzer water the machine needed syrup refill but bartender would not believe my friend so we won't be returning here.... read more

Went in with some friends today, I've been here a bunch of times and it was always good, this time it was good too service was good food was good, but I wanted to leave this review because I think it might be getting to be a bad neighborhood, their host was wearing body armor of some kind and the dude seemed really creepy. I tried to ignore it but it was so strange it just kinda put a sour taste in my mouth and made me wonder if there was some reason for this, no one else had any body armor it's not Halloween, was just very odd. read more

We went for lunch, maybe 12 people in the joint, waitress - oh you dint have lunch menu I will get them, she comes back to take order 10 min later. Duh no menus, so off she goes to get them. Ordered food, asked for sweetener for tea, finally got it just before end of meal after asking 3 times for it. waited forever for check, one guy walked right by me as I said excuse me, he just went his merry way. I guess if beer is all you want then this is the place they have lots of beer, nothing else except TVs. read more

The food here wasn't the best food I've ever had, but it wasn't bad either. We both ordered burgers and found them to be okay, we would have expected a little but more for them. We went with 4 stars because the beer selection is great, and this place isn't too bad for being in St. Cloud. The waitress was also okay, she didn't really seem overly friendly, but she wasn't horrible either. Also, the Cajun fries are pretty good. read more

There's a lot of TVs here (more than I've ever seen at any other restaurant) with all different kinds of sports on. If that is your thing it's really nice because you don't need to turn your head and hurt your neck to see what your friends are talking about on the screen. Chances are there's a TV with the same channel on in your point of view! The staff was very friendly and efficient. The servers all seemed to work as a team and things came out promptly even though it was fairly busy. On the other hand, the food was subpar. I had a "build your own burger" so I had to pay extra for my side of fries, and the amount they gave me was very small. They were room temperature and slightly soggy. The ranch flavoring on them was pretty good, though. No one at my table ordered any drinks, but a few of them on the menu caught my eye. I will probably go back to give the alcohol a try. read more

Fun bar good food, nice staff. Great support of a local hard cider! Love seeing local businesses supporting local businesses!

Loved the food my burger was cooked perfect, and the service was one of the best in St Cloud! Went there on Veterans Day and watched the staff communicate and interact with our veterans. read more

This is a cookie cutter chain-type brew pub. That being said, there are good and bad in all types of restaurants. As this genre goes, the Boulder Tap house is pretty good, and probably better than most. They do have a very good selection of beers. They also have a menu that should appeal to almost anyone. My chicken sandwich was very good and my wife's salad was awesome. The service is good. There were some new staff members the night we were there, but you could tell that they were being watched and guided and truly trained versus being thrown on the floor to fend for themselves. This place is definitely worth going to. read more

Food is over priced.server was nice but everything else was okay. Would recommend going to a different place.

Not great, but ok in a pinch. My order was screwed up twice. The waiter argued with me about what I ordered. (Wouldn't have ordered what he said I did because I'm allergic). Food was over cooked but the fries were good. read more

This used to be my favorite restaurant when I first moved up here. The wings and burgers and fries were okay then I recently went back this week and received and not only bloody raw tasting burger, it also had a horrible chemical taste from the veggies or bread. The waitress was nice and understanding the manager refused to listen and kept cutting me off saying the burgers are all medium well and I'm wrong and getting short with me. I never had to complain about food or write a review in my life. I will never be back. Managers, customers are always right and if anyone says something taste expired go check don't get upset very unprofessional, not to mention we still had to pay for appetizer and everything else after the manager got upset and defensive very disappointing read more

Wings were awesome! Ordered a large order of bone in wings and got a huge portion approx 20 large wings! Cheesecake was also great! Ordered it for pick up and was ready when I got there! Friendly helpful staff! Highly recommend! read more

Ordered food on Friday night and had delivered through a food service. Was told by driver that they were very busy. While I do understand this, it took over an hour and a half for our food to show up. Ordered 3 burgers, street tacos and some apps. My daughter said the tacos were good, but the burgers told a different story. All 3 were so overcooked that they were almost crunchy. The buns were also very hard and not easy to bite through. They also were thrown into their containers so when they did finally come they were half deconstructed. Now I don't normally like to complain in public but I wrote them an email after our experience and surprise, I haven't heard back. read more

Three days ago was a good experience. Today not so much. Server staff was great three days ago and poor today. Food was great last time, but stale food is a compliment for today's meal. read more

My husband and I dined at the Boulder Tap House this past weekend, and decided to give the soup a try. WOW! The buffalo chicken and jalapeno bacon beer cheese soup... All I can say is AMAZING! The flavor, the spice. You can't go wrong! read more

Burgers aren't very good but my guest enjoyed the salad. Staff is friendly and food gets done quick.

Been sitting here for over half an hour with no service whatsoever, three servers walk past constantly. But seems like we are invisible. I get you may be understaffed. But don't seat people if you can't serve them. Definitely not coming back again. read more

Holy beer on tap!! Sometimes it's hard to choose. Their choices of types of fries are also numerous. Decent service and awesome fried pickles, plus tons of TVs to watch. Worth a try if you're looking for some different types of beer, different types of burgers (including a cheese-curd cheese burger or a hot dog wrapped in a burger!!) read more
