    One of our favorite dining establishments in Boulder. Food and service are excellent. I tried the Shepherds Pie for the first time and it was spectacular. You must try the burnt ends, too

    The food was pretty good! But the restaurant is very drafty and cold, I will never eat here again in the winter. We even asked to be moved to a warmer table and it was still cold, we wore our coats the whole time.

    We brought a large group and had a great time! We were given seating upstairs and it was great to have conversations with one another. Delicious barbeque.

    Food was excellent. Servers were inattentive and missed simple requests. Food quality is enough to go back- really nice menu items that was a nice change of pace.
    West End TavernResponded on February 24, 2025
    Kristin, thank you for the feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to review us and hoping your next visit is better. Anymore details on the server would be helpful as we are always looking to coach our team on steps of service. All the best, Ashley
