| - I had Boulder Dam Brewing Co. bookmarked for a long time, so we finally decided to venture to Boulder City to check it out. I seriously doubt that we will be back. While the beers we tried were good, the food was awful, and the service was lacking.
Let's start with our arrival. When we got inside, we were told that there were no tables available because two large parties had reserved them all. You would think that they would have a 'Closed for Private Event' sign posted if all the tables were reserved. There were also no stools available at the bar, so we were about to leave when were told that we could take a round table that was pushed right in front of the bar because the large parties would not be using it. They found us a couple of plastic chairs and we claimed our table. It's a little bizarre that they use outdoor patio tables and plastic patio chairs indoors. I saw lots of food going through the large gaps in the basket weave table tops.
Beer: It was hot out so we tried a couple blends that sounded refreshing. The Shandy $3.00- was half powder monkey pilsner & half lemonade. The Rattlesnake Bite $3.50- was half powder monkey pilsner & half hard apple cider. Both were 'dam' refreshing. haha. This was the highlight of our visit.
Food: Papa Burger (no bun) w/ side salad $9.95- the salad was pretty pathetic: lettuce, shredded parm, 1 tomato wedge & red onions. The menu says that the burger is "1/4 pound Angus patty topped with cheddar cheese and smothered in our thick, rich chili". Let me tell you, it did not taste better than my attached picture looks. I don't think I would have fed this to a dog. The chili was dry and didn't taste like much besides old & burnt and I seriously doubt that the patty was 'Angus'. I took one bite and could not take a second. It tasted like fat & grease & gristle. It was inedible IMO.
Patty Melt w/ potato salad $9.45- 1/3 pound Angus patty on marble rye bread w/ Thousand Island dressing, Swiss cheese, sauteed mushrooms, and onions. This patty was also less than desirable, although it was slightly more masked by all the other items on the sandwich. However this one was difficult to choke down due to mass amount of grease coating the bread. Potato salad was not great either, but it was better than the two entrees so I will leave it be.
When our server cleared away our largely uneaten plates he didn't ask if there was anything wrong with our meals or even if we wanted boxes, so we didn't offer up comment. I think they just wanted to turn the table. We were still hungry after we left and stopped at Dairy Queen for Blizzards to cheer us up. :)
