Randomly stumbled across this place, and it seemed really nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside was clean and had a good atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I shared the Vaquero flank steak with my friend, and it was nicely seasoned and cooked just how I liked it. One thing I really appreciated was that when we told the server we were sharing, they split the dish in half and plated both portions separately. It was so refreshing to see, and both plates were beautifully presented. We did not have to split it ourselves! Very attentive and considerate service. read more

Located next to its sister restaurant Gemini on Pearl St., High Country has a creative and fun menu with a little something for everyone. I'll definitely be back next time I find myself in Boulder! What I tried: Half Fried Chicken - cherry cola reduction, mac and cheese Bourbon Poached Pears - whipped goat cheese, endive, sourdough Summit Spritz - caprock gin, aperol, lemon, cucumber, peychaud's bitters, sparkling wine Down River - boulder spirits new american whiskey, nardini amaro, chocolate & aromatic bitters, orange, cherry Best bite: The fried chicken was crispy AF (because that's the only way it should be), perfectly seasoned, and super juicy. The mac and cheese was also a standout: cheesy, cooked just right, and the perfect sidekick to the chicken. The bourbon poached pears were my most unexpected bite. I had never tried them before, but my waitress recommended them, and wow...delicious. They paired perfectly with the goat cheese. I ate my leftovers from breakfast as they were that good! Fine...I ate them as a late night snack that night...okay fine, I had a few bites in the car. If you haven't been yet, check them out! read more

Overall really tasty food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience was a bit experimental and fresh[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], but the service was a bit odd with some weird interactions. The cauliflower lemon pepper was actually really good. It had a solid level of crispiness and seasoned really well. The sauce wasn't the best but added some wetness to it. The chicken breast was really crispy outside as well with a really moist interior. Which was impressive to me since it was a pretty thick chicken breast so I typically expect it to be dry with that kind of crust. It came with squash and a tasty pumpkin sauce too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall a really tasty meal but an intriguing interior[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

From the moment we stepped into High Country, we felt very welcomed by the waitstaff Kailey and Mandy showed us awesome hospitality, kindness and great conversations. The food was equally as fabulous - I had the summit bowl with seared shrimp and my partner, the classic cheddar burger read more

High Country - The summit with seared shrimp. - American Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

One of those places I must have passed by so many times and never went in, and I'm glad I finally did! The food was really good. as anyone that reads my reviews should know, I like traditional foods with a little twist and this place has got the twists. For example, their grilled cheese sandwich is actually a grilled Brie sandwich, and eve that has an extra twist. The fried butternut squash sandwich is also a great option. The service was excellent and the prices were reasonable for today's crazy reality. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a very casual space but still looks sleek and elegant, and very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Edit: The hostess has since reached out and apologized for the error in communication. We appreciate the prompt response and will believe that they sincerely did not mean to exclude us. We understand mishaps happen and it's not easy to run a restaurant. We wish this restaurant the best. We were disappointed with the service during our visit. As visitors to Boulder, we were excited to try this restaurant after seeing a positive TikTok review. My husband, our 3-year-old, and I arrived and saw two parties ahead of us get seated quickly, so we assumed the wait wouldn't be long. We stood right by the counter, and another party entered after us. When the hostess returned, she looked past us and asked the party behind us if they had been helped. They pointed out that we were there first. The hostess then informed us that the only available seating for a party of three was at the bar, which wasn't an option for our child. When we asked about table seating, she said the wait would be 15-20 minutes. We agreed to wait and stepped outside. However, after an hour, we never received a text. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Standing outside in the cold with a young child was tough, and it became clear that we weren't going to be accommodated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]If the restaurant does not welcome young children, it would have been helpful for them to communicate that upfront.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The experience left us feeling unwelcome, and unfortunately, we won't be returning. read more

It's a new concept owned by the restaurant next door & they have a few menu kinks to work out. We started with the hippy dip which was good, but served under lettuce so it gets all stuck to one side of the lettuce. The Fresno chili buffalo wings were pretty good & the right spice level - more of a thick paste than a sauced. The chicken sandwich was too much bread and not enough chicken and toppings - was expecting a chicken breast instead of some shavings. Kathy's salad needed more greens and fewer dates - would also prefer more citrus in the vinaigrette. Although the Bonanza brisket was covered in pickles, it was definitely the favorite. A good combo of tender meat, fried onion, and bbq sauce on Texas toast made a tasty combo. Would recommend the fries over the rings to accompany it. read more

The food is delicious and the service quite good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside and the ambiance was nice[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]].

High Country comes from the same owners of Gemini (which is right next door). Service from Coco was so friendly and great. We enjoyed the super cheesy queso Fundido and the wings. The wings are brined, making them super flavorful and fall off the bone. We got 2 sauces to try. Fresno chili buffalo (spicier) and honey habanero (sweeter). Both were great. We also got the mile high burger with fries and the chicken sandwich with onion rings. I like that they don't upcharge for salad or onion rings. The fries were really good too. (I am very particular on my fries) For cocktails I had to try the Down River. It was so good. Served properly up in a Nick and Nora glass. My hubby got the XXX. It was delish! Very refreshing. We finished with the lemon bar which was light and great. Can't recommend High Country enough. They have a great patio and I am excited to see them grow in the space. read more

THE best restaurant to go if you have dietary restrictions. I had the short rib which was dairy free and gluten free and it was insanely delicious. They have so many gluten free and dairy free options. Their fryers are completely gluten free- Absolutely no worrying about cross contamination, first time I've had fries at a restaurant without worrying about having a reaction :). Perfect place for vegans, celiacs, and all sort of allergies. The servers are super nice and understanding of all dietary restrictions! Can't recommend a better place. read more

I've been coming here since they opened and haven't had a bad thing on the menu yet, but they're currently running a special on pep rally days. The Stampede Burger: Smash burger, smoked brisket, fried pickles, jalapeños, and bbq sauce. It was absofriggioutely one of the best burgers I've had in my life.

High Country - Two fabulous local beers on a hot day! Happy Hour began at 2pm on Labor Day Sunday! - American Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

High Country catered a work event for my team, and they KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK! It was fresh, delicious and simple but creative flavors. YUM!!! They are super kind and easy to work with as well. The only thing I would add would be food labels with common allergens to display and brochures about High Country for any events you cater, but that doesn't take away the amazingness in any way. We will 1000% order from them again. What I tried: Carrot Hummus, Spring salad with fabulous strawberry vinegarette & grilled chicken! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great meal in a very nice setting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Outstanding food and drink. Every bite was perfect, service was great

The food was GOOD and perfect portions. The service was very friendly and conversational, while also frequent to make sure we had all we needed.

Great service, very attentive servers. Not too busy, so we were able to get a reservation for 6, which was great. Great wings, nice range of taste from BBQ to zesty (not too spicy, but some kick). Others in my party got ribs, with tasty Mac and cheese. I got cream potato soup and a wedge salad. Enjoyed the pickled onions on the wedge as a unique touch. Someone else got the fries which were great. read more

Think it's a new spot in town. Food was great, really enjoyed the cacti scattered around the bar area.

Terrible. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Only place that had open tables on a Saturday night and now we know why.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Screwed up four out of 6 meals and the remaining two were cold and greasy. Only one of us found their meal edible. Even the drinks sucked. read more

10000/10 recommend! I feel like I have severely overlooked this place- [[HIGHLIGHT]]the atmosphere is very cozy[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and the food is next level. You can tell that they put love in every dish. We started with the cheese fries and then had the chicken sandwich and pork chop for dinner- you can tell the ingredients are so fresh and every bite was the best bite ever. Cannot recommend this place enough, seriously.. go try it!! read more

Mile high burger amazing. Kind of want to keep this place a secret but I also want them to succeed here in Boulder. Thank you for a yummy dinner. read more

Interesting experience to say the least. The food was fine. We sat outside at one of the tables near the center of Pearl Street. Ordered a beer, Odd13 superfan, which was really good for 3 sips until they came out and took it back because they haven't obtained a liquor license for the 2 outdoor tables away from the restaurant yet. Service was overwhelmingly friendly, although I would've preferred competency. They filled our four glasses of water from a vase and left it with a quarter cup of water still in it, never returning to fill it even after leaving me parched and sad from taking away the beer. Like I said, food was fine. Pulled pork torta was interesting, served with green chili. A tad soggy. The Kathy Salad came with more stems than leaves which was a bold choice, unless Kathy is a rabbit. Burger and brisket sandwich were alright. I understand they are still in the process of opening, which was clear from the lack of outdoor liquor license and "velvet ropes" with plastic posts that fall over if a butterfly lands on them. I imagine they'll iron out the kinks, so I don't want to deter people from trying it out. I'm just sad about my beer. I would've finished it inside if given the choice. read more

How this restaurant got a 4 star review from anyone tells me not to trust reviews. The ribs were cold, old and soaked in something I can't describe as sauce. I had a battle with whatever that "sauce" was about 4 hours later. I lost the battle. The burger is of Big Mac quality, large... sloppy perfect fit for a street dog. A house dog would snub its nose to it. The salad, pushed to the side by our salad eater (who will literally eat yard grass if she's hungry enough.) I'm not going to bore you with the descriptions of the rest of our order. You get the point. More than 50% of the plates (at a table of six) were incorrect. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was not busy. Maybe 20% full.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The wait person and manager did their best to right the ship. They were professional and nice. The problem was the kitchen... and the food itself. You just don't correct from this low of a quality score. Dear owner(s), your restaurant is beyond horrible. Save yourself a lot of pain, and close this thing now. Eat the sunk costs. Restaurants are not your thing. I'm not sure where this establishment would be successful, but with the Boulder dining landscape being what it is... High Country is DOA. And I know that lease isn't insignificant. Here's my suggestion: scrap the entire menu, with the one exception being your French Fries. Your French fries are not epic, but they are pretty darn good. Call it French Fry Larry's. Sell three sizes, just like at the carnival. Charge $8, $10 and $12. Don't be stingy. Figure out a creative way to present. All orders are to go... ride that cash flow until the lease runs out, then get a job. You'll make a lot more money if you get a job. It doesn't matter what the job is. You could mow lawns, fix appliances, deliver for Amazon, sell T-shirts at The Buffs game, clean pools, be a dental hygienist. It doesn't really matter, but I promise you you'll make more money than you're going to as the owner of High Country. And as the great Porky Pig used to say "Thi'uh thu, thi'uh thu, thaaat's all folks." read more

Food was very good and healthy! Try the summit bowl it was delicious. The service was good as well!

Definitely skip Kathy's salad. Does not have "market greens", only arugula, "seasonal fruit" was just 3 pieces of unripe apricot, additional avocado at $2 was 3 thin slices, all bathing in overly tart vinaigrette. They were kind enough to comp the dish. The high country chicken sandwich was apparently excellent read more
