This place is always fantastic. The service is quick and all the employees, whether they assisted you or not, always thank you for coming. The food is great and there's a lot of options. I love the atmosphere, it feels very personal and it's certainly different from anywhere else I've been. Would definitely recommend checking this place out.
The grass fed spicy blue cheese burger I had was out of this world and my wife loved the mac-n-cheese. Environment was also cool. The loss of a star is due to poor service. Our server doubled as the bar tender and we never got drink refills. But still a great place to have lunch!
Every college town seems to have a classic place like this. The history on the walls is a nice touch of all the people who have been in here over the years. I had the Texas Straw Burger and my friend had the Tuscan Pizza. The portions are very large and the food was delicious! I really enjoyed the fries and sink sauce they had on the table. The drink list is pretty substantial. If you’re tall, be careful walking through with how low the ceilings are.
I love this place! It has a great atmosphere and is in my opinion one of the best places to eat in boulder. When I go there I get the pretzel sticks and a vegetarian pizza with pesto on it. There's unique murals on all the walls that you can walk around and look at. It definitely has a lot of character.
I would love to give a much higher rating to The Sink as food wise, it probably deserves it. But, the prices are just out of sight. The Sink burger my party had was good. The french onion soup was tasty but slightly on the cold side. The mac-n-cheese was very good. But, $11 for a mac-n-cheese? Really? In all, we kinds scrimped on the food order and yet we were still out of pocket $65. It's really that expensive! The food might be good but the value is just not there. Unfortunately, we will be going elsewhere..
I don't like leaving terrible reviews but I have to say this place was awful. I was in the Denver area for some hiking and vacation and saw this place had appeared on Food Network's Dinners Drive-ins and Dives and thought it would be an awesome place for my boyfriend and I to refuel with some guilty pleasure food after some intense hiking.
I can't emphasize enough how bad the service was. We were mostly standing around awkwardly waiting for someone to acknowledge us, at 2pm on a weekday, it was very odd. The bartender happ need to walk by after about 10 minutes and offered us a table. Never asked for a drink order he just popped back by after a while and asked what we wanted to eat. We ordered to cowboy Ruben, since it was the sandwich featured on the show and he left.
He dropped our sandwich off and we never saw him again until we saw him helping another table nearby and asked for our check.
The sandwich was SOAKED in butter, greasy and hard to eat. I would never come here again, and honestly, I don't think they would mind.
Cool college pizza parlor, with some history (Obama ate here! Robert Redford worked here! Glenn Miller may have had dinner here). Very informal atmosphere, but not in a frat-house way.
Pizza is not bad, but if you want good pizza, there are better places than this. Same goes for the burgers - if you are here, a cheeseburger with fries, etc. Is probably your best choice, but if you seek a really great burger, there are better places in town to try.
We stopped here on our way to Estes Park, and were definitely impressed. The artwork on the walls is so unique, and the atmosphere is cool and casual. We went on a Saturday night during one of the first week of school, and were able to get a table right away.
The food was delicious and when one of the orders was not right, it was quickly replaced with the correct one.
It was also really cool to see President Obama's signature on the wall, and read the story of his visit there.
On our way back down from hiking in the Rockies for 5 days, my friend and I stopped here to eat our first real meal that wasn't freeze-dried or oats and berries.
Really cool establishment--very unique inside.
My friend and I were warmly greeted by the bartender and we were well taken care of. The deep fried Mac N Cheese was great, and the burger was awesome!
Cheers from Florida!
The pizza is amazing! My family each got something different and we all raved about the food. We wanted to come back again before we left but we couldn't make it work out. I very much enjoyed the pizza, the waiter was friendly, and the atmosphere was cool. We had a good time trying to read the ceiling. Definitely recommend.
Pretty darn good hamburger, generous servings. The atmosphere and nostalgia makes this place a stop everyone should make at least once. Look around for signatures of former University of Colorado students - a few of the original wooden etched still exist.
If you are visiting from out of town, you need to be aware of the parking fee. Even though there is no meter or signs out front, you need to download an app and pay an upfront fee or look down the street for a kiosk. It is not close by.
Later we were from out of town and later while hiking at a national park, we found a small paper stuck on the windshield. We thought the park had a fee but they said they did not. Later we found out it was from the restaurant.
If you call the phone number on the ticket, it costs $5.00 to accept a call, then they want the money from your phone. Hopefully you have a cell phone or you can't call them
After calling the city 2 times, they dropped the fee.
Great food, but they need to inform people of the Boulder parking problem.
We will stay out of Boulder on our next stop in Colorado.
Stellar atmosphere, excellent service but food was unexceptional. We both had burgers. They were dry, not enough sauce, very little flavor. The onion straws on my burger were burned which was unpleasant. The Creole Fries were just okay. We would have loved to love it, but based on today's meal, will probably not return .
Cool spot. Really neat vibe and very interesting local hangout. Food was good. Worth coming in just to check out the artwork, pipes, and low ceilings. Watch your head if u r tall!
Had a great lunch here. It's a pretty neat American food restaurant with a couple of surprises on the menu. If you are taller than 6 feet, you gotta be careful that you don't bump your head because the ceilings are very very low.
