Loved everything - the ambiance. The food. The lavender mimosa was spot on. Everything we had from the fresh baked bread to the eggs were spot on. read more

No wait on a Friday morning which was nice. Service was good. I REALLY enjoyed my Porktastic Crepes. Very tasty carnitas mixed with bacon, onions and mushrooms. Had a good cinnamon cold coffee special. Ordered the house made oatmeal stout toasted bread .. meh... Here's where the disappointment is.... They fumbled on the breakfast basics. My wife's scrambled eggs were dry and lumpy. My daughter's pancakes were mealy and tasteless. But the absolute SIN on the table...... my son ordered Belgian waffles. He got two Belgian waffles on his plate ...... straight from a Sysco box and microwave. I've been in foodservice a long time. I recognize these waffles anywhere. They are pre bought "brioche waffles". They don't necessarily taste bad (they are dense with little bits of sugar folded into them) but you are a BREAKFAST restaurant and you put waffles on my kids plate that I can buy for $1.25 each off the grocery store shelf.... I know... I've sold them retail! Very disappointing in an otherwise good experience. My meal was a 10. Unfortunately the other 3 diners who ordered very basic food did not enjoy the experience. read more

Fantastic place. Favorite Reuben in Boulder and maybe ever. Some of my favorite restaurant staff in Boulder too. I just can't stop talking about the Reuben...did I mention that the Reuben is really good? read more

I felt like I came into this brunch with high expectations since this place was on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and because of all the good reviews for the corned beef hash. Overall I wasn't that satisfied, and felt like the place didn't live up to the hype. The eggs were overcooked and it felt like the overall dish wasn't that much more premium than your typical local brunch or breakfast spot. I feel like for the price I paid I could've gotten much more food at a local breakfast chain and would've left with a similar feeling of satisfaction as I did when I finished my meal at Craig's. read more

Well, this place remains busy, even during the week for breakfast and with Snooze next door! And there's a good reason for it, service is friendly and the food yummy (portions are huge!) Once again, I had the Foolish Craig's crêpe and it was delicious, I really think next time I should share it, no way I can finish it. We ordered a side of grits (as if we needed more food...) and we thought it was a little bland, but others might like it as I usually like them mixed with sauce, not on their own. It's Pearl Street but there is public parking right around the corner so no worries. Solid place for breakfast...all day! read more

I had the triple D special. Chorizo Benedict. Tastes delicious. Not too Spicy. Potatoes to accompany and small side salad (unnecessary) but I guess to cut some of the heaviness of the dish. Staff was very helpful and, on a Friday morning...it was jammed. The vibe very welcoming. read more

Great little cafe/diner in Boulder. We were visiting my sister in law for a few days and needed a spot for an easy, casual brunch and this hit the spot. I'm a big fan of Mexican breakfast so the tacos hit the spot.. a little dry but nothing some salsa and hot sauce can't fix. Hubby got the breakfast sandwich which was quite delicious and certainly filling if you're looking for a bigger item. My sister in law got the avocado toast and you can see by my photo that it wasn't the most exciting thing, but it got the job done. Overall, I'd definitely eat there again! read more

Stumbled upon this place honestly because another place I scoped was temporarily closed. We walked in and waited at the host stand. It took a few minutes for a young lady to come up and we were sat immediately for lunch on a Tuesday. There was lots of good choices on the menu but ultimately went with that BLT Guacamole sandwich because it says right underneath it that it was featured on Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives. I don't remember that episode but if Guy Fieri says something is good - he knows right?! My side of choice was the home made potato chips. They also had a choice of tortilla chips or fries. Food arrived and I was surprised by how many chips were on the plate! They were crispy and had some good seasoning! My co-worker asked for a side of ranch to dip and they brought out this - what looked like - house made ranch and it was yummm! BLT comes on wheat but you can change to get different bread but I stuck with the recommended. The bacon is super crispy and over cooked! Just the way I LOVE bacon. The guacamole was good but I bit into a few big chunks of either onion and/or garlic which I did not like. Also, there is a LOT of Mayo on it. All and all - it was okay. The bacon was of course the star - Next time, I know to ask for the Mayo on the side! read more

So came here with high expectation but left disappointed. Their best in town beef hash was average. Although I enjoyed the ambiance and friendly customer service but the food quality was lacking. Not sure if my expectation + my palate regards to beef hash was a contributing factor but their food was just ok. Our party had to wait 1.5 hours and frankly speaking, it was not worth the wait. read more

Amazing crepes!!! , the breasto pesto is actually divine. Great service and a really cozy environment.

Must have just come on an off day, because I ordered the eggs B with thick cut ham and asked for a crispy English muffin. The muffin was barely toasted, the egg white wasn't cooked thoroughly and the ham was pre-packaged, lunch meat very thin kind.. it was nasty. 3 stars because they did not charge us for it. read more

The food, excellent! The service, excellent. The ambiance, excellent. A classic Boulder spot that I will come back to time and time again.

We came in early for breakfast and had a BLT which was amazing! It's a cute little spot but all the servers are rude with attitudes. Asking for a drink refill is a chore apparently. read more

Typically Foolish Craig's is my favorite restaurant on pearl street, their food consistently great and large portion sizes of fresh food. But this time my fiancé and I were terribly disappointed. The salmon BLT was completely under seasoned and cold. My fiancés dish was also not seasoned, cold, and no gravy on the biscuits, with undercooked eggs. He asked for more gravy and it took 20 minutes to get just one more tablespoon. For a $17 plate I would expect more than that. We ordered crepes and they were spongy and dry. I hope they fix these issues as it felt like a scam this time around. However the coffee has remained divine and just as good. read more

Very good breakfast spot. From omelettes to breakfast tacos. Everything here was so good. Onion rings were great too. If you looking for good food at a good price check it out. read more

I selected this cafe for the positive reviews and DDD appearance. Today's selection: The Blintz, 2 eggs, and cranberry WoManosa (large mimosa). Perfectly mixed mimosa and fluffy eggs. The crepes were good, but a bit overcooked and could use a little more filling. Service was decent. It's worth the stop. read more

Foolish Craig's a must if you're in Boulder and are seeking a fun and spunky place for breakfast. We went fairly early in the morning (8:30am on a Wednesday) and it wasn't busy. I ordered "The Foolish Craig" and my friend ordered the "Corned Beef Hash" and boy were we not disappointed!! I wouldn't say I'm super into the idea of a ~savory~ crepe however, The Foolish Craig has changed my mind! Jam packed with veggies, meat, and topped with eggs and salsa, this savory crepe is a great start to your morning. My friend's Corned Beef Hash was also a huge serving, with fresh skillet veggies and topped with eggs and toast (I'll be trying that next time!). The food came out fast and every bite was hot and full of flavor. read more

Great food - my husband absolutely loves the corn beef hash, and I love the butter rum caramel crepe cake!!

We'll be back again! read more

It's been four years since I first reviewed--time for an update. My love for Foolish Craig's has only grown stronger. Some may say it's at an awkward level of intimacy. I'm now a regular, with my fave seat at the bar and the courteous, professional, and beautiful staff all know my order before I even utter a word. They put up with my scatter-brained stream-of-consciousness ramblings about every subject and brutal attempts at comedy. What brings me in, week after week, and sometimes day after day? It is an intangible emergent property which is the sum of extremely tasty food, fresh Boulder Organic coffee, quenching cocktails, a pleasing eclectic atmosphere, friendly dining room and bar staff, a skilled and efficient kitchen team, and top-notch owners and managers who care about both their guests' and their employees' experience. Special shout-out to Meg, Yulia, Kate, Caroline, Lucy, Ashley, Hannah, Liv, Aspen, Zokni, Brynn, Emma, Allie, Marissa, Alice, Annaka, Noga, Nate, Cory, Dom, Dino, Jake, Raph, Dmitri, Sam, Luis, Justin, Matteo, Zach, and of course Mitch, Craig, and Chris! And everyone I forgot to mention, past and present. Eat here, you won't regret it. Love you all. read more

Fuel Your Foolishness... Post-Bolder Boulder 10k, our famished group found ourselves in the world of Foolish Craigs. Despite the throng of race enthusiasts, we were seated in a mere 15 minutes, ready to embark on a culinary adventure. Forget your run-of-the-mill greasy spoon--this place is a treasure trove of randomness hanging from the walls and such. The decor is a delightful jumble of curiosities, including a mosaic handmade mirror in the upper loft--which is like stepping into a childhood fever dream. Rumor has it there's even a mysterious boob-shaped pattern on it. Foolish Craigs is a haven of inclusivity, with a warm and welcoming staff that served up our food faster than you can say 'huevos rancheros'. Speaking of which, the huevos rancheros and the blintz (a sinful medley of chocolate and strawberry crepes) were a gastronomic delight. Both dishes were scrumptious, but the huevos rancheros stole the show. I'd happily order both again. Deliciousness overload! Where food, folly, and a mysteriously fabulous boob mirror come together for foolishly good times! Moses relished every moment of this foolish breakfast escapade and recommends Foolish Craigs Café. read more

Foolish Craigs has a fabulous menu. Their list of starters and sides will have you trying to decide between sweet or savory. I decided to try the warm brie which was served with pear- apple marmalade and toasted baguette. It was absolutely delicious. For the amount of bread that was served, I wish that there had been a bit more cheese and apple. (I don't feel like I'm the only cheese lover here. I'm sure I'm not the only one putting a moderate scoop of apple and cheese on my baguette). For the entree, I had their famous corned beef hash. It too was delicious. It's served with house potatoes, onions, green peppers, two eegs and toast. The corned beef had both great texture and flavor. That being said, their menu was so extensive, if I were to go back I think I would try something else. Even their list of beverages did not disappoint. If you love caramel, definitely try their salted caramel latte. It was perfect for a cold day while sitting outside. read more

There was a big wait, even when we booked ahead, but I can see why. All four of us were hungry from a strenuous hike and we ate every last bit of our meals! I got the egg and pancake breakfast, and would only suggest they make the pancakes a little bigger, they were tiny. My friend got the everything crepe (forgetting the full name), and it looked amazing. My other friends got the burger and a fried chicken sandwich. I would definitely come here again! read more

We got off the airplane, and came directly here for breakfast. You want a spot that just does everything the right way, this is where you want to go. Chris really cares about his staff and it's obvious that everyone enjoys working here. read more

Very friendly service and decent food. We got brunch and a sandwich and found it alright.

We checked out this restaurant after a night of camping because 1. They were featured on diners, drive ins and dives and 2. They are dog friendly so we could bring our pup! From the greeting at the restaurant to our entire dining experience the service was top notch. I was really excited about the food but unfortunately for me it fell flat. For the pork benny, the sauce was under seasoned and the English Muffin was soggy by the time it made it to the table. I like a nice crunch on my fork when I order a Benedict. I was really craving biscuits and gravy so we started with those but again the gravy was a bit flavorless. However my boyfriend had the corn beef hash which was spectacular so I definitely recommend that. The food wasn't what I expected but the service was great so I'd be willing to try it again with some different menu items. read more

Found this place while walking around looking for a place to eat. Stumbled upon foolish Craig's which is super cute and eclectic.

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area read more

So good. Perfect weekend wetaher sitting out door. Service was very nice. They are very friendly. The meal was a lot for the price. For Boulder this is a great deal. I order the beef hash. It came with potato and green peppers and 2 piece of bread. The lady order whole thing crepe. It was huge for her so she can't finished it. Really good but for her it was too sweet by the end. The coffee came with flavor and milk so you can mix it yourself as you like it. We will definitely be back!!!! read more

On a busy morning we got in without a wait, squeezed onto the balcony, which we think is the best seats in the place--you get to watch folks below get their food! Food was excellent!! We shared: corned beef hash, pesto chicken crepe, chicken fried steak, and a side of bacon. Corned beef hash: liked that it was robust and soft chunks of corned beef vs. the normal paste-y version. Chicken fried steak was cooked perfectly w a delicious gravy. Chicken pesto crepe (diff name on menu) was excellent; flavorful pesto wasn't overpowering. Highly recommend this place, and would definitely come back. read more

Very busy. The decor seems undecided in character. Everything is too close together, you run into waiters trying to reach the bathroom. The food is okay. read more

Not impressed. 45 minute wait on a Saturday morning was completely expected and normal. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Food on the other hand was rushed and lacking. Eggs were under cooked, toast was just warm bread, chorizo didn't have much flavor, plates were messy, and dishes did not match the description. read more

One of my favorite places to order from in Boulder. I love all the options on the menu and there is a lot of quality ingredients and meals. I ordered the Cuban sandwich and was thrilled with what I got. The fries stayed crispy even though I ordered delivery and the flavors were perfect. My friend ordered the Philly cheesesteak sandwich and we both agreed it was way too dry. Definitely needs more cheese or sauce or something else to spice it up a little bit. In the past I've ordered the Buffalo chicken sandwich and would also not recommend it. The quality of the chicken wasn't good and I think if it was cooked in a different way it would've been a lot better. I've also ordered the Brie appetizer and it's sooo yummy. Will go back again and again but some things on the menu are hit or miss. read more

Great local diner-like cafe. Service was great, very attentive and courteous. Food was excellent! We had gone to Snooze right down the block the day before and I enjoyed this place more.

Foolish Craig's has always been one of my favorites in Boulder. I was visiting for the day and knew they had a great patio so it was the perfect COVID-friendly spot. I had my dog with me, so I called ahead of time to ask for a table for us. They seated us at a table outside and brought my pup a bowl of water and a slice of bacon! What a great treat for her before we had even gotten settled, very nice touch! I ordered "A Bunch of Hooey", which came with potatoes that were seasoned perfectly, lots of fresh veggies, and two delicious eggs cooked by my choice, over medium. I also got a side of bacon because...bacon. The food was perfectly cooked, with lots of delicious flavors. The service was fast and attentive, and everyone wore masks. I can't wait to be in Boulder so I can go back again and try something else delicious on the menu! read more

Foolish Craig's Cafe - Cornbeef hash with tofu: AMAZING - Creperies Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I ordered huevos rancheros (or the closest thing they had to it) and they put pulled pork in it without listing it as an ingredient. I haven't eaten pork or red meat in 25 years so it obviously went about as poorly as expected. I think the server might have brought the wrong plate because it was missing my side of cheesy grits. I'm giving an extra star here because she was apologetic and took it off my bill. But as you can imagine I wasn't feeling great for the rest of the day. read more

This place has a great atmosphere, wide menu selection and the staff is always incredibly friendly. It's definitely a Boulder staple, and worth going if you are looking for a great spot to spend time with friends. Their drink menu is fantastic, but the breakfast doesn't knock my socks off. Don't get me wrong, the food is good, but there are other breakfast spots nearby I frequent first for a tasty meal that leaves me satisfied. read more

We were of course hungry for breakfast & this place was on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives, and I would rather give my money to a local business. it was fantastic ,the coffee was great, the service was even better and my hash and eggs was supreme . the kind of corned beef hash you get that's homemade like Mom used to make; big chunky potatoes, corned beef ,onions peppers etc. Highly recommended!! read more
