Located in the 125 year old historic Boulder Train Depot, Roadhouse Boulder Depot brings an urban flare to a historic setting and serves as a gathering place for the entire Boulder community. Operating as a restaurant in the Roadhouse Hospitality Group, Roadhouse Boulder Depot offers a quality “roadhouse” style menu with an emphasis on customer service and community. As University of Colorado Boulder alumni, the Shipp brothers, Terry, Dan, Mike and John, took their knowledge of restaurants and coupled it with their understanding and appreciation for the Boulder community. Tying together history, art, and great food, guests can expect a one of a kind dining experience in a true Boulder institution. Roadhouse Boulder Depot is more than a trend, it’s a tradition.

The Prime Rib Dip was delicious and paring it with Parmesan fries made the meal fantastic. Happy hour with 9 oz pours of wine at a reasonable price made the meal that much more enjoyable. Definitely go on a weekday if you want a quieter experience.

While the food at the Depot is a good as ever, the service and atmosphere made for a very unpleasant experience. Service was extremely slow and no one checked in while we waited more than 35 minutes for our food. The televisions were turned on with extremely loud volume. Finally, after several requests one person figured out how to turn off the sound on the monitor that was directly over our heads. Maybe I'll go back when it's time to sit outside again, but doubt I will chance it sitting inside.

We love the Roadhouse! Highly recommend for any meal or just drinks and the game. The staff is always attentive and the food and atmosphere are great. We have been going to this restaurant for over 4 years now that my son is a student at CU Boulder.

Waited 20 minutes before we even got a server to come give us WATER CUPS. Didn’t even see our server UNTIL he decided to bring out the first appetizer. Beforehand another person took our order and they weren’t even our server. Buddy was lucky he even got a tip. The food was amazing, but waiting 20 minutes and maybe even more just to get 4 cups of water is insane. We also didn’t get plates or anything.

It was ok. Host was a little rude which set the the night off on the wrong foot. Vibe was fun with many football games on but venue felt a little tight and squished. Steak was done just to my liking but wife didnt like the short rib at all. All in all an OK experience.

Great meal. Family of four taking our CU freshman son out for a quick dinner. We had the nachos to start, then burgers, chicken, salmon, and wings for our mains. Service was solid and the food was surprisingly good. While this was our first time we would gladly eat here again anytime. Really cool ambiance as well. A unique setting.

We sat outside on a beautiful day. Inside was very! loud. Food was good, choices were interesting, and mimosas were flowing freely. BIG problem. Food took 1.5 hours. I understand staffing issues and was told by maitre de that is was slow but 1.5 hours was too long.

We had reservations for a Friday night. We were seated pretty quickly, however, it took about 15min before our waiter came to the table. He seemed a little aloof or distracted. Food was very good, nice atmosphere and loved reading about the history of the depot.

This review is for Mon 7/31/23. My husband & I have been to RBD before, like the food & ambiance and usually make a reservation. We didn't think a Mon night would need a reservation, but had an issue with the seating/hostess. We arrived at 6:30 & were told a 30 min wait, despite 3-6 open tables between when we arrived & when we were seated. 1 table the hostess said was reserved for employees but was given to 2 ladies that needed to move in from the patio when it started raining (we understand that). We couldn't get drinks while waiting (bar said they were only serving seated patrons). We made an online reservation for 7pm as a backup. Hostess called us a few minutes before 7pm, took us to a high top table. We asked for 1 of the available standard tables instead, especially since we now had a reservation. She said no & that they were no longer taking reservations for that night, but then proceeded to seat the next party of 2 also waiting to a standard table! We shared our experience with a manager, all he said was that the 1 table was not reserved for employees (so hostess lied?) and there was a large party seated at 6:30 (looked like ~12-14 people) so they were spreading out the patrons in order to not overwhelm the staff. It's concerning 1) how the hostess treated us and 2) that a party of only ~12-14 would have such a negative impact, especially since they likely knew they were coming (table was set up before they arrived)?

The food and service were very good, but it is extremely noisy. Entrance into the parking area is very confusing and not clearly marked. Once parked you have to walk completely around the building to enter the restaurant.

They do not really have adequate vegan options. They do offer salads with tofu but no dressings that are vegan. Impossible burger option but no vegan bread options. Not much thought put into vegan menu options. Difficult to find things that were dairy free.

My wife ordered some bread to go with her dish. When it came out one of the pieces of bread was visibly molded. Can’t believe neither kitchen nor wait staff noticed this. The manager came out later and apologized but didn’t offer any recompense other than not charging the $2 for the bread. Service was also quite slow and other tables that arrived after us somehow got their food before us. Finally my burger was bland and not cooked to order. I’ve been to roadhouse several times and always found it decent but this visit left a bad taste in my mouth.

My family and I enjoyed an excellent dinner at the Roadhouse. The server was attentive, and answered all our questions about the menu. The food was nicely prepared and delicious. I did miss seeing the baked brie and peach appetizer which I had enjoyed in the past. It still appears in the online menu.

Last minute staff calling in on a Sunday holiday weekend, left them short handed, but they rocked it! 2 in the kitchen, bar doubled as server, manager food runner etc, they all dug in and did a great job! Big portions, great flavor and the AC was awesome on a hot day! Would go again next time in town!

Usually we love this restaurant. My son asked to dine here as his girlfriend flew in to visit. Initially, things were great! However, our server disappeared and assistance was hard to get. When the food arrived, all three dishes, while flavorful and well presented, were very salty. We passed on dessert.

Normally we thoroughly enjoy a visit to the Roadhouse Depot. We have come to expect extraordinary service and food and an overall terrific dining experience. This particular night didn't live up to their usual standards. Maybe they were understaffed? Service was nearly non-existent and our food had clearly been sitting quite a while before it was served to us. Definitely not our normal experience. I hope this was a one-off

Service was utterly terrible. Took 29 minutes to get water glasses and only after asking two different wait staff. Had to ask multiple times for who our waiter or waitress was. Finally ordered drinks and appetizers. The appetizer was never ordered by the waitress. Multiple tables around us having the same issues so it wasn’t just one server having an off night or lack of servers

Only comment is that two people ordered the prime rib dip sandwich and found it on the salty side. Salad was great, excellent salmon and delicious chocolate lava cake.
