We went here for my partner's birthday while we were on vacation. First and foremost I want to applaud their safety efforts. Tables were appropriately distanced, and seating was exclusively outdoors when we went, thus reducing any chance of spreading any contaminated air particles. Staff wore masks, and as guests were were instructed to wear masks when getting up AND when talking with staff. As an Ohioan resident, the latter is not implemented, but honestly I wish it was. Restaurant staff need to be protected as well. The server brought us complimentary housemate beverages to begin the evening, an unexpected added bonus (which were deliciously refreshing, if I remember correctly, made from a grapefruit base). All staff was convivial, friendly, and easygoing. The food was next-level. Granted, this is a moderately upscale dining experience, despite the casual, down to earth ambiance that is quintessentially Colorado. The focaccia was fresh and perfectly balanced in that slight give, the crunchy exterior, and soft and oily interior. I'm partial to burrata above a lot of cheese options, especially with focaccia, and this didn't disappoint. The fennel pesto and nasturtium helped to lift the otherwise indulgent starter. The charcuterie board was well plated, offered a wide variety of flavors and textures, leaning on the sharper side of flavors, feeling a little French (as its namesake). The star of the show was the wagyu. With no exaggeration I will proclaim that this was the best cut of meat I have ever consumed. The perimeter had a nice salty crisp to it, the interior was juicy, flavorful, a melt in your mouth, no knife needed experience. I was viscerally taken aback. And each bite was like the first. Paired with the market fresh tomatoes, black garlic aioli, and shallot, the acidity, warmth, umami, and herbaceous boxes were all checked. Simply fantastic. My partner, a more frequent meat eater stated that this was the best meat he had eaten in over a decade. Last but certainly not least, we finished the night with their seasonal vanilla cherry bombe. Aesthetically pleasing Bavarian cream and dacquoise with poached cherries and vanilla cherry sauce. A nice subtle finish to the meal, if a little homogeneous. I would suggest a little citrus acid in the cherry sauce, and maybe some more incorporation of cherries throughout the dish. Overall, one of the best parts of our vacation. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a moderately priced meal. Fans of rich flavor and fine cuisine, without the pretentiousness that sometimes come with fine dining, reserve a table at Blackbelly for dinner. read more

Honestly, I thought it was very nice but... overpriced. I've lived in NYC for many years and I'm used to spending money on good meals but those were so tiny! We got out of there kinda hungry even though we spent $200+ (and we are not "big" people lol). If you go there, don't go hungry. Eat something first :P Other than that we liked it ;) read more

Blackbelly catered our daughter's backyard wedding. The food was delicious, the service friendly and professional and they took care of every detail. They coordinated the ordering of the tent, tables, chairs, place settings, etc. and had everything set up for both the service and meal. They truly helped make the day incredibly special. I would recommend Matt and his team without hesitation. read more

We had Blackbelly cater a dinner for 20 and it was beyond amazing. Hosea and his team cooked one of the best meals I have ever eaten in my entire life. Their support for local sustainable farming sets Blackbelly apart from other caterers. We had a wonderful evening and a memorable meal. I cannot thank the team at Blackbelly enough. We will definitely be using them again in the future. Thank you thank you for such a special meal and experience! read more

Blackbelly catered my wedding - my husband and I couldn't be happier with how things turned out! The food was incredible - you'd never know they accommodated my challenging dietary restrictions! They were very kind and professional in every step of the planning process and shared so much attention and care on the big day itself. read more

We decided to try this place since we had heard good things about it. Sat on the patio, nice wooden tables, good atmosphere. We both felt like burgers so ordered their burger plate along with a side of beets and sugar snap peas, which the waiter recommended over the green beans. Apparently, a lot of the menu items, which were limited in quantity were already sold out, this at 7:45p on a Sat evening... Burgers were huge and came with Swiss, lettuce, onion, tomato and 2 super thick slices of bacon...generous portion of their Kennenec fries, dill pickle and aioli mustard and ketchup on the side. Absolutely delicious and easily sharable it was so much food! The roasted beets with bacon and cheese was also very tasty, but couldn't fit it since the burger was so big...so asked to take it home but our waiter forgot to bring it back boxed...alas since it was $5 & only about a cupful so would've liked to eat it later... The sugar snap peas we're sadly not so great.....they basically seemed like overgrown peas with a chewy shell and grassy tasting peas. The waiter said the kitchen said they were picked just early which is why the color was pale...but my husband grew up on a farm and we also just picked peas from our own garden that looked exactly like these. ..and these did not seem like sugar snap peas at all in color, texture and flavor...so the waiter was kind enough to take it off the bill. Husband had a local beer, which wasn't his first choice, his 1st choice wasn't available. He said it was good, but hoppy. ..lots of IPAs on the menu. I had a cranberry soda with lime, which is hard to mess up... The waiter offered us dessert but we were too full...maybe next time... Place was full and clearly popular. ..a bit on the pricey side but staff was very nice. Definitely recommend the burger for you burgers fans! Would also consider ordering a bunch of sides the next time around just to sample different items... read more

Blackbelly Catering - Blackbelly burger, side of beets & sugar snap peas... - Caterers Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Our experience was a great! We loved the food and atmosphere and service! I was ambivalent at first when I researched Blackbelly. I found the website lackluster and confusing. After my experience, I found the Instagram page not representing the amazing experience I had...It's 2019, show us what've got through social media!!! Y'all should get someone on that. read more

They catered a small in person baby shower and the service and food was amazing. Had it delivered and they were right on time. Ordering was so easy. Everything was perfect and we are pretty big foodies. read more

Blackbelly has been our go to restaurant since they have opened. We go for special occasions, to treat out of town guests, for casual happy hours and special events like New Years Eve. We always have a guaranteed great meal and friendly, knowledgeable service. We recently contacted Marni in their catering department to set up a special birthday dinner in our home. It was one of the best meals and evenings we have ever had. Everything was top notch from beginning to end. The catering department was organized, clear and extremely easy to communicate with. I would think planning a large scale event with them would be a pleasure. Our server Matt was beyond professional and made sure to treat our home as his own, leaving it cleaner than when he arrived. The food was beyond memorable, Hosea prepared a stellar meal. We started with copious appetizers, all presented beautifully and at perfect timed intervals. The dinner amazed us with 4 courses, each one better than the last. The winter squash soup with blue crab was one of the favorites. The wagyu filet was cooked perfectly for each guest. The portions were generous and absolutely wonderful. Best meal our group has ever had. I will continue going to Blackbelly regularly and would love to work with their catering team again in the future. read more

Blackbelly Catering has some of the best food I've ever tasted, hands down. As the Event Manager at Rembrandt Yard in downtown Boulder, I've had the pleasure of working with them at multiple events. Chelsea is professional and effortlessly works with the client's and venue's needs. The staff is accommodating, the food is delicious, and I can easily recommend them to cater your event. read more

Another amazing meal at Blackbelly! Went to celebrate an upcoming wedding with a boys night out and walked away very happy. The service was excellent with appropriate recommendations for pairings and the bartenders and cocktails were great. Thank you for another memorable meal with friends. read more

Blackbelly catering just did our daughters wedding, in an art gallery with no reall facilities for them. IT WAS FLAWLESS! Fabulous food, and the best waitstaff and bartenders in the world. Many guests told us that it was the best wedding food , no the best dinner, that they had had in a long time. The staff handed every request before and during the wedding with grace and great humor. We could not have been more pleased I cannot recommend working with CHelsea and Matt enough. We had bvery high expectations, and they met them all. read more

I love love love the crew at Blackbelly! Their catering dishes are delicious and aesthetically appealing as well. You can't tell the love and care that goes into everything they make -- because it's stellar! The staff is friendly, efficient, and fun. It is my pleasure to recommend them for any event for catering! read more

No electricity or water for a wedding at Flagstaff summit? No problem. Blackbelly catered our wedding for 120 in this challenging environment and it was outstanding. The planning was great and effortless, with the many gluten free options a big plus. Service during the event was stellar with staff going above and beyond at every turn. Our guests went out of their way to comment how wonderful the food was and even the ice cream arrived in perfect condition. We just can't say enough about how wonderfully this team performed on our special day. read more

An exceptional experience at Blackbelly. I typically avoid new restaurants for at least the first month so they can work out the problems. I'm pleased I went to Blackbelly on their opening night. No problems - these are experienced chefs and restauranteurs. We had, and highly recommend, the half chicken, the posole, lemon sausage, a slice of goat cheese, and perfect bread. Service was excellent. I'd been to this location before with the previous restaurant. Blackbelly has completely morphed the formerly average space into a comfortable, casual atmosphere I'd find in downtown Boulder or Denver's Highlands. We sat at the kitchen counter; there's also bar seating. I will definitely return, so much more delicious food to try. read more

When you walk in and the GM knows how you like your Sazerac, you've either got a bad rep or a good one. Let's hope it's the latter. Wow. If opening night is any indication of things to come, this restaurant takes a spot at the top. First, the buildout is beautiful. Open kitchen, butcher shop, yet cozy and a beautiful bar. I came in with my wife and son but see myself a solo regular at the bar. Service was excellent. Even with a little bit of a safer opening menu, it offered quite a bit to be excited about. The green chili pozole was great as well as I now have a place to indulge on roasted bone marrow. The lamb shank hit the spot perfect with the cassoulet (it was snowing out)! My wife thoroughly enjoyed the salmon (although I secretly wanted her to get the prawn and pork dish!) As mentioned before, the GM knowing a good Sazerac is an indication of the cocktail program. Nothing crazy, no hip potions (refreshing), but a solid menu. Happy hour menu was great too. Next time I'll be sure to start out with the "shot and a beer". Great idea. Dessert was the carrot cake and the awesome Sundae with bacon peanut brittle. Solid. Looking forward to a lunch menu and spending hours at the bar solo, eating great food and drink, while the wife is working nights. I hope the location keeps them busy but not too busy I don't get a seat! read more

Blackbelly Catering - Bone marrow - Caterers Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

We had a wonderful meal trying several of the appetizers, the roasted bone marrow was spectacular, the pork rillette and sausage of the day were full of flavor. The chef did his best to cater for my gluten free wife with apple slices instead of bread for the marrow and rillette. The shrimp and pork belly main course was exceptional. Great food is nothing without service, and the service was wonderful. The manager came to check on our meal, the waitress was very attentive and knowledgeable about the full menu and how each dish was prepared, and even those bussing the table were friendly and attentive. This has just become my new favorite restaurant in Boulder, and I am a very particular ex-chef. read more

Took more than 3 weeks to return my initial call. I discussed with them at length what I was looking for for my upcoming wedding. I was told the day would be held for me and a quote would be emailed in about a week. I never heard from them again. Complete waste of my time. Maybe they are really as great as everyone says but their customer service sucks. read more

Blackbelly catered our wedding reception for 120+ people in our home. Every one of my guests commented on how incredible the food was. Their staff was amazing and on top of everything. They made sure all of my guests were happy and they were constantly cleaning up. Overall a top notch experience with incredible food and delivery. The catering manager was diligent in ensuring a positive customer experience. I am absolutely thrilled with Blackbelly Catering and will definitely use them again in the future! read more

What a beautiful restaurant!! Comfortable atmosphere and inviting. Breakfast and lunch to go items are to die for and dinner is over the top. They have their own in house butcher, and that guy seems unreal. This place will go far read more

Our daughter's fabulous wedding reception took place last weekend at Donovan Pavilion in Vail, Colorado. We were thrilled to have Hosea Rosenburg and Blackbelly out of Boulder, CO, as our caterer. We knew early on that the food would be off the scale. We were, in addition, also very impressed by the service the night of the reception. Everything went extremely smoothly starting with the outdoor cocktail hour with yummy appetizers and continuing with our family style dinner. The food was plentiful and exquisite. Chelsea and Matt did a fantastic job coordinating the event. Thanks so much to them and all the Blackbelly team. We will be regulars at their restaurant in Boulder, for sure, and will recommend them to anyone who needs a caterer! Well done! read more

Blackbelly Catering is top notch. As a professional event planner it's important for me to recommend and work with companies that truly excel at what they do, offer outstanding service and deliver the best possible ingredients in the food they prepare. I've had the honor of working with Blackbelly on three weddings since they started just over a year ago. Hosea and his team are the real deal. He prides himself on his food quality, sourcing farm fresh, local ingredients, growing most of the produce himself and producing meats and cheeses on the Blackbelly Farm. Not only does he cook and serve incredible food, his team produces events in unusual circumstances (a warehouse, a field, and parking lots where all catering equipment is brought in from the outside). If you are a foodie who is looking for a caterer for you next big event I highly suggest Blackbelly. For clients wanting a unique, out of the ordinary experience that's different from your standard catering fare Blackbelly is the top choice around. read more

My wife and I recently had our wedding in Telluride and hired Blackbelly to cater the wedding reception. We live in Boulder and care very deeply about food. For this reason we wanted to ensure that our guests were treated to a meal they would not forget. We looked around in Telluride for caterers but were unimpressed with the offerings, we also wanted to work with someone who we could meet with face-to-face to discuss vision and menu, so we chose a local company. We knew that Blackbelly has a great team behind it so we were not worried, but keep in mind we were asking them to leave Boulder, drive to Telluride and execute a large wedding. The Blackbelly team flawlessly sourced products from their farm in boulder, farmers markets in Ridgway, and restaurants in Telluride to create an unforgettable meal for our guests. I am still receiving compliments to the tune of "best wedding food EVER" daily. When you hire Blackbelly you are going to get something special, not just the usual wedding food, overcooked and under seasoned. They treated us and our event as though it was their only concern. THANK YOU BLACKBELLY!!! I would recommend this team to anyone in the Colorado area if you like great food and excellent service. read more
