  • The servers were amazing and took great care of us while we were there. The food was excellent. We had a great breakfast with delicious bacon, eggs and wonderfully seasoned potatoes that blended with the eggs and bacon just perfectly. Delicious coffee that added the right accent to an overall wonderful breakfast. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting and overall you will really enjoy the Bluff. I'm sure. I'll be coming back the next time I'm in Boulder.

  • Always a good experience. We used to go here in 2018 and 2019. The steak, and pretty much any item on the menu, was good and consistent. We tried it again. Although the lines are long and it takes time to be seated, the food is excellent and the flavors are on point. I tried The Atlantic omlette. Excellent flavor, and would order again.

  • My wife and I were visiting Boulder for a couple of days and on 8 Sep 2025, we opted to have brunch somewhere within the vicinity. I did a Google search of the area and discovered this little gem. In fact, I recall seeing this restaurant a month ago (via Google) whenever I was in the area again, but unfortunately, I wasn't in the mood to try it then. But alas, here we are writing a formal review of this restaurant. Living in Las Vegas, it's not that common to see someone park far away and walk to a restaurant, but that's what we did for this place. We parked at the King Soopers down the road because the weather was nice and I always enjoy walking around after I eat to help with the digestion process. Why is this relevant to this review? It's to inform you that I'm not 100% certain of the parking situation at the restaurant aside from the one parking lot at the restaurant itself...which wasn't full when we arrived. When we walked in, the restaurant wasn't really busy (go figure since the parking lot wasn't that full)...I think a lot of it has to do with it being a typical work/school day. Regardless, I was ecstatic to see this because I was starving and didn't feel like waiting to get seated. After we got seated, our primary server, Anthony, provided us with water and informed us that he'd return to take our order. Throughout the dining experience, he did a remarkable job; he was attentive, professional, and operated efficiently. So kudos to him and the business for validating a good customer service mantra. We ordered coffee, Egg White Veggie Omelette w/Potatoes and Wheat Toast, Valley of the Sun Omelette w/Canadian Bacon, English Muffin, and Fruit, side of Pancakes, and side of Bacon. Everything tasted magnificent to which I had to really chew each bite slowly to ensure it wasn't just my hunger assessing the food quality - it was actually that good. Between the food temperature, texture, flavor, and quantity of ingredients, it's no wonder why this business has a significantly higher rating on Google. The price-to-quantity/quality ratio was reasonable and I highly respect this business for their continued support to the active men and women of the Armed Forces, including its Veterans - thank you for that! I can honestly say that this restaurant is worth the visit and even though it was just my first time, I'm confident that the unparalleled quality, quantity, and service is evident 100% of the time. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone!

  • Brunch so good that I can literally eat it everyday! So filling, huge proportion and good options. We were a party of 6 people and omg we order so much of it and it was really amazing!! My personal fav was Catina griller which I ordered for myself, crispy and the fries were really good. The Benedict looked real good. We also tried chicken with french toast and it was delicious! Hope to go there again. Also they don’t take reservations and we put our name to waitlist once there. We waited for 30 mins to get it but totally worth it!

  • I loved my visit to The Buff Restaurant in Boulder! I had the chai latte — it was huge and absolutely delicious. I also ordered one of their hearty bowls, and it was amazing — full of flavor and very filling. The place was packed, which just shows how popular it is, and luckily there’s free parking nearby, which is a big plus in Boulder. It was a bit on the loud side, but the great food and atmosphere totally made up for it. Highly recommend!

  • This place is really good! The food was great, with the steak and eggs being my personal favorite. The service- incredible! Our food arrived in minutes! Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for brunch in the boulder area.

  • Great place for breakfast or any other meal but things can get very busy over the weekend so one may have to wait a while for a table. The portions used to be huge, now just big enough and still well presented. The service was quick, friendly and pleasant. There's an outside patio seating but in Boulder, that is very much dependent upon the weather. Prices are fair, especially for the area.

  • $.99 mimosas and Bloody Marys, and delicious breakfast food. Can’t go wrong. Ordered - primo chimmi, buffaquiles, cinnamon roll French toast, and the saddlebags.
