The environment in the restaurant is extremely unique. I have never had a bad meal, and I have been there many times. My favorite is the Reuben sandwich as well as the Buff mac. Can't wait to go back! read more

I came here on a Saturday for lunch and was immediately seated. FYI your whole party needs to be present before being seated. The interior is decorated with lots of wall art and hand written notes/names from visitors. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. I ordered the Reuben and I thought it was delicious. The meat was moist and tender and the fries were crispy. I also liked the pickles that came on the side because it gave the plate a refreshing bite it needed. We also had the pleasure of interacting with the manager(?) and was kindly offered a comp dessert. We got the cookie with ice cream and everyone at that table thought it was delicious. It's a healthy portion that can easily feed 4 people. I had a great experience and would definitely recommend this place to others. read more

More of a divey spot with crazy wall art and you can write your name on their low ceilings. We loved the sink so much we came back for lunch a few days later! Located in the heart of Boulder it can be a bit crazy especially on a game day so plan accordingly. We came for lunch and ordered their infamous burgers. The tres fuegos and bacon jammin burgers. Both were delicious in their own way and neither of us were willing to share with each other. Their regular fries are dusted with a Cajun seasoning. The sweet potatoes fries are amazing but make sure to ask for them well done. We came back a few days later for lunch as well and ordered their cowboy rueben and pesto chicken sandwich. Amazing meal again so delicious and reasonably priced. Service was great both meals, though when asking for the check and trying to get out it takes some time we they definitely are understaffed. read more

Finally made it to the famous Sink where almost every inch of wall space is covered by signatures. 6 pm on a Friday night had a wait of about 40 minutes. Most seating is indoors, some outdoors but no heaters (which are much needed in November in Boulder). Food was good - nothing spectacular. Menu is via QR code at the table with mainly sandwiches and pizza, a few entrees. We all got sandwiches/burgers with an upgrade of sweet potato fries. Portions were large, I could only eat half my burger. Standard table service and our waitress was pleasant and attentive without being annoying. I'd say make sure to go once. I'd go back but not necessarily in a hurry to do so. read more

Came here on a CU game day, so honestly, didn't even expect to get in. Despite my skepticism, we only had to wait a few minutes. Fun place! Cool history, quick service, cheap drinks. If I didn't have to run to the game, I would have been happy to stay for food and vibes. I'll be back-- first impression was great! read more

Great casual dive bar spot. We popped in on a Saturday for a late lunch and had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. Once seated, it was a great experience. Lots of fun art and tons of tvs so definitely a great spot to hang out. To eat I got the Texas onion straw burger and while I know they are known for their ugly pizza crust we all agreed our burgers and sandwiches were better than the pizza! They were loaded with toppings and the fries were great!! read more

I can pretty much guarantee that you will really like it here. There were three of us for lunch, we had one of their pizzas, one of their burgers, and an excellent Reuben sandwich. Service was attentive and pleasant, and the vibe here is quirky and weird and super fun. I can see why it's so popular. Next time I am in Boulder we will absolutely stop here again. read more

Great, casual dive bar spot. A wide variety of things to choose from, we tried the. Texas onion straw burger and the buff mac. Both were very filling and quite heavy, on brand with bar food if that's what you're looking for. The place is filled with fun history. Be sure to sign your name in there too! read more

Every time I have been here, we have a fantastic time celebrating something amazing! I love the vibes in here and the food's real food!

It's a must-visit for the history and atmosphere alone. We remember the food being better--but that was nearly 25 years ago, back in our college days, so maybe our memory's a little "hazy". The service was a bit slow for the later side of the lunch hour. The chipotle chicken soup didn't quite come together flavor-wise for us, and the super basic burger we ordered (to share with our little one) was fine, we prefer crisp pickles and the onions were limp and lacked flavor--my husband joked they looked like they'd been sitting at the bottom of "the sink". And this, friends, is why I write reviews. read more

Food was amazing!! Every thing we ordered was delicious!! Pizza, burgers, nachos, fries- everything. Drinks were good as well. They have outdoor and indoor seating which is great!

interior is unique - comical drawings all over the restaurant! the pizza was yummy and flavorful! we ordered the slaughterhouse 5 and drunken chicken - i like the slaughterhouse 5 more~ if i were to come again, i would suggest ordering the dip for their "ugly crust". the crust is pretty big (which i guess is their differentiator) but it was dry and we didn't know there was a dip - so it ended up as a waste read more

Very cool spot with a trippy vibe. Plenty of bar pace with a few TVs if you're trying to get a beer and watch a game. I started with some wings extra crispy like they meant to be. No lemon pepper so I got hot and bbq. Not really into bbq wings but the flavor was right. Wings were nice and crispy and the hot was choice too. Got a southwest bacon burger with added crispy onion straws and damn. The fried jalapeños and bacon were putting in work. Only thing missing would be like some aioli mayo something or other. But the burger was on point. Love that they use a lot of pepper jack, way underrated burger cheese. They have plenty of beers on tap with a lot of Colorado local stuff. Staff was friendly and quick. I went for a late lunch on Wednesday and it wasn't too packed. But I can see it filling up for prime rush times. Not a lot of great parking mostly street but there is also a little pay lot across the street. read more

This place was recommended to me by my car rental specialist! It definitely doesn't disappoint! A historic (over 100 year) restaurant located in the CO college town. This place is definitely a vibe. From the written and drawn up walls, to educational and satire cartoons, it gives off that vibe it's the place to be. The service is very fast and accommodating. Even Andrew, the manager, came to check on us! He even thought we were college students. Besides all of that, the food is super delicious. I had the burnt ends max and cheese, and my cousin built her own burger. Unfortunately, we forgot there is something called "altitude sickness" so we couldn't enjoy it as much as we should have. I'll definitely come back here when I visit! read more

Miya served us well. She assisted with the Food and Beer Menu. Coming here is like stepping back in time. When my wife was a Buff they would come here 3 to 4 times a Week. It is still a very cool place We both went for the Buff Mac-n-Cheese. All I can say is it was outta this World. For beverages we went for the Drumroll and Coors. For dessert we selected the GIANT COOKIE. OMG this place is over the TOP with super delicious food and service from people like Miya. Miya is super and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you asked to be seated in her section as you will have an AWESOME EXPERIENCE. read more

Went to eat here after a comedy show at the boulder theater with the lady. Surprised to walk in and see all the GOATs that have eaten here. The signatures and eccentric art on the graffiti'd walls was a dope touch with the low hanging ceiling that would probably cause someone to get a concussion if they're above 5'11". But once seated I asked the waitress what burger she would recommend and she mentioned the Texas or the bacon jammin burger, and I of course went with the one loaded with grilled onions. I regret nothing. It was perfect after a long hungry day. My girlfriend had a drunken chicken pizza that also slapped. Can't wait to come back some day! read more

The Sink - BUFF MAC CAESAR SALAD (HALF) TRES FUEGOS BURGER FRIES (HALF) - Pizza Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

An institution in this college town for a century. They serve up beer, cocktails and grub in this very old building with incredibly low ceilings with graffiti while the walls are reserved for hand painted cartoon murals featuring local legends. The space is surprisingly big and the food, while not top notch, will satisfy most palates. I had a gumbo style soup over rice which was quite tasty with a pound of wings. A nice happy hour special for my Cowboy Lemonade cocktail helped to wash it down. Super fun place to grab a beer. read more

REDEMPTION FOR THE SINK! Visited my second time and got the Mesa Chicken Sandwich and a half Caesar salad. Holy smokes I was blown away by the flavor. Fries seasoned perfectly, the chicken was juicy and had a great blackened flavor. Always a cool restaurant to visit because of the interior. Service was good this time too. read more

I saw on Reddit that this was a cool place to go on CU game days, so I figured, why not check it out?? Keep in mind the ceilings are very low here, so if you're someone who doesn't really like that, I would not come. It was cool because there were stickers all over the ceiling. It was packed and very warm!! Some people were eating (which smelled good!) and drinking at tables, while others were standing and socializing. Definitely a popular place to pre (or post) game. read more

The vibe and neighborhood were both very cool. You can tell this is an old CU staple bar. Cartoon artwork plasters the walls. Famous folks have signed the wall out front and students have made their marks on the extremely low ceilings in the restaurant. Near place to visit. Al that said, the food was good but not amazing. I got the Buffalo Mac and Cheese both in homage to the university and because of the rave reviews of this signature dish. Not saying it wasn't good, but it's not a perfect 'can't live without it's type meal as some reviews have indicated. Standard mac 'n cheese with breaded chicken cutlet tossed in Buffalo sauce, topped with blue cheese. Tasty. But standard bar food. Again - I'm giving the place 4 stars...it was good, but I'm just trying to temper the expectations other reviews of this dish have set. Service was quick and attentive. Good place; I'd go back to watch a game. read more

The moment you walk in, you notice the signatures and paintings all over the walls. Don't bother coming here on a football gameday - it'll be way too packed. However, when you do go it's one of my favorite spots near Boulder's campus. Service is always on top of it and will give you great recommendations on food choices. I got recommended the Buff Mac and Cheese and was not disappointed. read more

The Sink is well known on the Hill in Boulder. They sponsored an event today with the fraternity/sorority council to make a donation to LA wildfire relief. As longtime local residents and supporter of this classic restaurant we joined them. We went early, wanting to walk down while it was reasonably warm and so we could be back before dark when the crowds of students would make getting a seat difficult husband had a nice Amber Ale from Fort Collins and the seasonal special of chicken pot pie, which comes with some biscuits and a side salad. He really enjoyed it and found the portion very filling too. I had the French Onion soup which suited the weather as well as my appetite. As we were finishing up, the tables started filling up as dreams of students started coming for dinner and the fundraiser. It's nice to see such local businesses helping other communities these days, where tragedies have made huge impacts. We will be back another time to continue our support which began in 1974 under an earlier owner. The Sink is classic to Boulder and you don't have to be a student to enjoy it. read more

The Sink - Benefit event today - Pizza Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

A very tasty restaurant in Boulder! I loved the extremely cool artwork, including the pictures of famous visitors, and the service was absolutely great. I liked the food too! The Buffalo cauliflower bites were baked perfectly without too much breading and a delicious sauce. The Mac n cheese side was also wonderful; I loved the crisp broiled top. The burger was a bit of a miss for me--i thought it was under seasoned and could have really benefited from more acidity and salt. The fries were also served pretty cold. This place seems to be a boulder institution, and I would definitely come back again! read more

Beware of this place and hidden fees. when you checkout, they use one of those machines that has an auto tip, however, although it says 20%, if you do the math the amount charged for tip would actually be 33%. BE CAREFUL OF THIS TIPPING SCAM. read more

I love this place. Yes, its a staple of boulder and if you are visiting or taking your kids for a meal, this is a MUST! They are known for their amazing pizzas but we tried some of their new items on their menu. The Prime Time burger was bread free burger over a salad. The burger was perfectly cooked to my liking and had enough vegetable to be considered healthy burger. Cocktails were very creative and equally good. We had the Lucky Charm martini was tasted like was drinking cereal milk. Very creative made with marshmallow vodka, Rumchata, cream and topped with little lucky charms. If you don't do a desert, this is a good substitute. Wait staff is always super friendly and the place always has great vibe no matter what time of day. Would love to get some merch but way out of my budget (~$45-50 for tshirt) but if market demands the price...good for them. read more

Visiting CO and my husband found this gem and I couldn't have been happier. We arrived on Friday 8/30/24 and as a college town I was certain we would be waiting however, we added our name to this list and were seated in about 15 mins. Service was great here. Everyone was friendly and attentive. I will say, ceiling is low and the sound can be a bit overwhelming especially if it is peak time. I loved all the art and writing on the walls and some were freakin hilarious! Husband ordered BBQ Bacon burger and I had the famous Buff Mac. We did order a michelada as well. Burger was cooked to perfection and the sweet potatoe fries were his favorite! I had to snag a few and they were the perfect amount of sweet and so crispy! Guy Fieri's pic and review - I knew I had to get the buff Mac and man oh man, this was amazing! Cheesy, full of flavor, plenty of buffalo sauce and blue cheese with every bite! Michelada was okay, nothing to rave about but that's okay. The food def made up for it. A wonderful place and a place we will def return to in the area....in the mean time I will try and make my own buff mac haha! read more
