    Cheeseburger. You pick the toppings
    Mrs C.

    You gotta try. Fun Street art, and stickers, and license plates everywhere. Grab an empty burger "sleeve" and pick your burger type. Pay at register. Sit and wait. You get a receipt with a movie related name. They call out your "name" and deliver that "sleeve" to your table with your burger in it. Voted best burger the past 2 years. Sit inside or out.

    YUM! Our uber driver, who was a local, drove by this spot on our way out of Golden... He pointed it out and said he drives 25-30 minutes out of his way to get a burger here... Naturally, we had to stop in for lunch the following day. He was not wrong! The wait staff was kind, we both ordered burgers with sweet potato fries and onion rings. The burgers were insane (good) and they loaded us up with sides of fries and rings - we had to take some to go. Very lowkey spot - we dressed in running shorts and tshirts and sat outside, looking at the Coors brewery and they bring your food right to your table. Overall, great experience and will definitely be back here!

    Bob's Atomic Burgers is an interesting and unique little burger joint with solid food. We dined in after a nearby hike. We ordered the daily special burger, a regular burger, onion rings and a kids lettuce wrapped burger. My daughter has a dairy allergy and good thing the lady at the counter checked the ingredients of the bun because it contains milk. It's a small and funky little spot serving solid food.

    The line out the door told me all I needed to know about this place. It's a simple, old school burger joint. The menu isn't extensive but what they do, they do it right. Seating indoors is limited but there's ample patio space to enjoy the scenery. After the lengthy wait to place our order, the food arrived shortly after and it was absolutely worth the wait. The four of us ordered fries and onion rings to share at the table and we all left satisfied. This place is a must stop if you enjoy a good burger.

    Delicious! Long wait that was worth it, if weather is nice it's a great experience. They have great salsa as well.

    From outside, this place does NOT look like somewhere that would have good food. My friend who lives in the Denver area suggested it and I was a little hesitant. When we got there, it was very busy with all the outdoor seating taken and a line out the door. Before getting to the cashier, you fill out a sleeve depending on what you want (burger, hot dog, or chicken sandwich). I got a burger, so I had to mark off what bun, toppings, and extras I wanted. At the cashier, you give them your sleeve and order any sides or drinks that you want. They then give you a random name for your order (I got Leatherface). When the order is done, they announce the funny name and bring the food to you. The burger was juicy and filling. I also shared fries and onion rings, which were both good as well. The fries were on the salty side, which I do like. Outside the restaurant has a view of the mountains and the Coors factory. Great price point and great food... can't beat that!

    Excuse my messy fingerprints!

    Bob's Atomic Burgers is always packed. There's always a line. Random movie stars, fictional characters and historical figures are bellowed throughout the small digs. IYKYK. Why would people wait? Why does anyone wait? The wait is worth it. Bob's prides themselves on simple ingredients, cooked to order every time, and nothing prepped in a hurry. Your patience will pay off. And no, you won't be waiting any longer than you would anywhere else. My burger was huge. That's my fault, though, as I choose more than a few yummy toppings. I could barely hold it in my hand. I also had a strawberry milkshake and loved the over the top creaminess. I left distended and smiling, haha. We love Bob's. We've never left disappointed. That says a lot all by itself. Def check them out. Simple food but amazingly good food.

    Menu

    Good burger and sweet potato fries, with great customer service. Fill out what you want off the menu as you come in the door, then head to the counter to order and pay. Would definitely eat here again.

    This is easily one of the top hamburger spots in town. The beef patties are consistently juicy and flavorful, complemented by perfectly melted cheese. What truly elevates the experience is the outstanding customer service--the cashier and servers are friendly, attentive, and create a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended for both quality food and excellent service. They ground beef every morning for all their beef patties!

    What a great find! If you are in the area,go eat here. The service was wonderful. Such nice people and the food was amazing. I got shrimp and grits for breakfast and it was a winner winner.

    Super divey with a view. The smell outside brings you in from a mile away. They have a little something for everyone. You fill out your order on the bag and bring it to the cashier. The wait was short and you can sit outside looking at Coors if you can grab a seat inside if you can.

    Onion rings, sweet potato fries, and BIG burgers!

    Amazing burger and fries! We stopped here after our tour of the coors brewery. It really hit the spot!!

    I've had multiple burgers here through the years traveling through Golden. I haven't been disappointed yet. Good service and kind of a dive bar feel. It get a little packed sometimes but it's worth the wait.

    Delicious! I liked that they had a whole wheat bun. The ordering process where you write on the burger wrapper worked great.

    Close to Lookout Mountain, this is a great stop! Five stars across the board!…read more Food: was fantastic - between the 4 of us, we tried the brisket sandwich (tender and delicious with the pickles and picked red onions), pork ribs (meaty, flavorful and tender, my son's favorite), pulled pork on nachos (tasty and fresh). Had to have a Coors Light while in Golden, CO! Sides of Mac and cheese, baked beans, vinegar Cole slaw and potato salad were all freshly made, clean tasting, and added quality to each meal! Service: attentive and hospitable. You order at the counter and they bring out the trays from the kitchen. Every member was knowledgeable in explaining the multiple sauces and went out of the way to attend to every question or request. Love the casual vibes, from picking up your own utensils to cleaning up your own trays. Excellent service. And they were appreciative of our patronage. Ambiance: clean restaurant all around, cool casual vibes with a great outdoor patio side facing the sun and mountains. Well worth the stop, best bbq in Golden CO, indeed! 5

    Stairmaster to Heaven (The BBQ Kind) They say distance makes…read morethe heart grow fonder, but in this case, a 30-minute drive and a second-story climb mostly just made us hungry. We were strongly motivated by a lunch date with our daughter and her husband, and apparently, the 'Seasoned Swine' experience starts with a mandatory pre-meal cardio session. If you aren't ready to hit the stairs, you aren't ready for the Swine. The Atmosphere (2 Stars): It's a bit like a sports bar that forgot to buy the TVs. Plenty of high-top tables to perched upon, and a bathroom door that refuses to close--perfect for those who enjoy a 'communal' dining experience in every sense of the word. The Service (3 Stars): Standard 'pay-to-play' setup. You order at the register, pay upfront, and hope for the best. Functional, but don't expect a candlelit serenade. The Food (5 Stars): This is where the magic happens. Three of us tackled the 'Swinoceros' plate--a meat-sweat-inducing mountain of the menu's highlights--while our fourth went for the pulled pork 'sammie.' The Candied Ribs: Out of this world. I'm pretty sure these are illegal in several states. Absolute perfection. The Burnt Ends: Moist, flavorful, and worth the drive alone. The Supporting Cast: The pulled pork, sliced turkey, brisket, and jalapeño cheddar sausage were all good. Even the sides--the OC Mac and Cheese and baked beans--were terrific. The Rolls: The three sweet rolls were... well, they were rolls. They were there. The Verdict: If you can survive the stairs, the awkward bathroom situation, and the DIY service, the food is a total knockout. I came for the family, but I'd stay for those candied ribs.

    I had high hopes for the Eddy but my experience there was that the food was just OK. I ordered…read moreburnt ends from their barbecue food truck and they weren't really ends or burnt. They were kind of just fatty pieces of barbecue meat. Still delicious and the sauces were great, but not really what I was hoping for. We ordered cheese curds, which were actually cubes and that is the first time I've ever seen shaped curds. They were pretty good, as was the sausage and mac & cheese, though the cheese sauce was a little thin. My mom had the focaccia grilled cheese, which had awesome flavors in it, but the focaccia itself was super thick. If we could decrease the bread by like half I think this would be an awesome choice. I think the main reason I would go to the Eddy is to hang out on their patio, especially when they have live music. It's a good view of golden in the foothills and its probably a great sunset spot. They also have a lot of good nonalcoholic options which we really appreciated - including nonalcoholic wine, which you don't see very often . I think I would stop back here on my way back from hiking or climbing in the canyon but I hope to be a little more impressed by the food next time.

Yes we were told we could even bring her inside. This made all the adults so happy. We sat in/out near a huge back patio set with games and other dog owners came and went. Food selection was nice, and there were a few options for a diner with gluten restrictions, though not a dedicated gf prepared. Two men ate burgers, and I had the fried green tomato blt it was very good. So many fries on the side. Service was a smidgen slow, the waiter was attentive until near the end of our meal as more folks came and went in the restaurant. We waited a little to get final check. Great patio/pub dining inside the restaurant. Super dog friendly.
