We enjoyed the patio during our 1st visit but this time around it was a little too breezy so we claimed a cozy booth inside. We tried the Jam IPA and Noble Pilsner during this visit and both were great! We haven't had a chance to try the food yet, but everything we saw coming out looked delicious. The service was also super friendly. It's such a nice place to relax and hang out while we were waiting for our AirBnB to be ready and we would definitely stop again the next time we're in town!

We dropped in on a Saturday night, dead in the middle of prime time (without a reservation, my…read morebad.) Our wait was brief and we were seated within 10 minutes. Sarah H. went out of her way to spoil us rotten. SERVICE SCORE -- 10+ The boss ordered the jumbo shrimp (the oxymoron still makes me laugh) and she found them to be satisfactory but not quite stellar. I went with the prime rib and got exactly the cut I asked Sarah to describe to the chef and it was done to a perfect medium rare. For my side, I chose the shrimp bisque and had I known how great that was going to be, I'd have skipped the steak and just ordered a bottomless bowl of the bisque ... YES, it was that good!!! FOOD SCORE -- 4 of 5. But, let's talk about the elephant in the room ... every soul in the house was shouting over the other dozen people at their respective tables... the noise level on a Saturday during the evening rush made me wish I had known to bring earplugs or noise-canceling headphones. The noise level might have been partially attributable to the very generous pour that every glass seemed to have. AMBIENCE SCORE -- Ungraded. All in, though, we had a decent meal at a fair price and got top-shelf service from Sarah (the highlight of the visit.) If we were ever in town visiting again, we'd go back.

For us, it was busy but the service was fast and very friendly. The beer selection focuses on microbrewery's, which I prefer. I selected a German blonde beer from Bemidji. For my meal I did the walleye sandwich. It was breaded & deep fried walleye on a hoagie bun with tomato's, lettuce, red onions and tartar sauce. It was big and it hit the spot! My SO had the walleye filet and shrimp bisque. She said the bisque was the star of the show. The view over the lake makes this a special place. The loud noise from other tables detracts somewhat from that experience.

Boulder Tap House was just up the street from my hotel and after a quick spin through their menu I decided to stop by. Arriving shortly after they opened at 11, I grabbed a seat at the bar and the bartender was prompt and attentive. Glancing over the menu, prices seemed a little steep and I ordered the BTH Classic Smash Burger. Burger arrived quickly and I was disappointed to find it poorly seasoned with little flavor. I had to drown it in ketchup and was glad I requested a side of ranch (79-cent up charge). Fries were Sysco foodservice standard and I quickly got the impression folks don't come to Boulder Tap House for the food. Rather, it's a spot for drinks and appetizers. They have a clearly well stocked bar and I think if I'm in town again I'll come for happy hour and not for an actual meal.
