| - Boulders on Broadway has been one of my infrequent go-to's ever since moving to the Tempe area about two years ago. It's a very consistent experience, albeit a somewhat expected one.
The beer menu is pretty good - not great, but better than other bars in the area. The menu is also pretty good - plenty of yummy options, nothing necessarily earth-shattering.
My typical order is the California Carver Burger, which is always really tasty, and my FAVORITE thing about the place is that they serve DELICIOUS waffle fries. can't get enough go those!
Service is always also "just ok". Nothing to write home about in all the times I've been there, although certainly acceptable. Everyone's typically pretty busy, to be honest.
The ambiance is nice for a bite to eat or to grab a drink with a friend, but I never bother bringing my laptop or anything - there are better bars (and coffee shops!) for that.
The one minor complaint I have about Boulders is that waiter service can sometimes be outrageously slow. Getting your food: can also sometimes be unbelievably slow.
The only reason I make mention of this is so that you don't expect to squeeze a "quick lunch" in if you're on the clock. You'll likely go over (been there, done that, I'm afraid...).
Overall, I'd give Boulders on Broadway 3 stars. BUT... Because they serve those tantalizing waffles fries that keep me coming back... I'm happy to give them 4 stars instead. :)
