The Ralphie Report Guide To Boulder: Best Burger

To help welcome our new Pac-12 friends in their pilgrimage's to Boulder we are creating The Ralphie Report Guide To Boulder.I figure every SB Nation blog that is heading this way will be asking for it so this will save us from having to answer the same questions over and over again, we can just send them the link.

So here's how this will work. On the dates you see below we will be taking nominations for entries into each of the categories below. You'll have two days to nominate per category. After two days I will put up the nomination post for the next category and include a poll for the previous one. The top three vote getters in each category will be featured in the guide so don't be afraid to offer up some different nominations and make sure to come back and vote in each category. The timing of this will take us right into fall practice. We're getting close...

- Best Burger - 7/12
- Best Breakfast - 7/14
- Best Sandwich - 7/16
- Best Burrito/Mexican - 7/18
- Best Pizza - 7/20
- Best "Nice" Dinner - 7/22 
- Best Dive Bar - 7/24
- Best Sports Bar - 7/26
- Best Upscale Bar - 7/28
- Best Brewery/Brewpup - 7/30
- Best Tailgate Location For Visiting Fans - 8/1
- Best Inexpensive Hotel - 8/3
- Best Expensive Hotel - 8/5
- Best Things To Do On Sunday After The Game - 8/7

Also, if any of you have some graphic design skills we could certainly use a logo image for this and would love to give you a shout out for creating... Shoot me an email if you are interested.

Doesnt get a lot of pub, but an awesome spot right on the hill and IMO a much better burger than the sink. And you cant beat the 4×4 challenge…2 pounds of burger!!!!

Dark Horse

Boulder staple and best grease burger I’ve ever had… not to mention you can’t beat the price and venue!! :)

I'm watching this very closely...

It’s only an hour for me (from Highlands Ranch) to get there, so I can take advantage of this right away.

And I can assure you that U.C.L.A. fans are really looking forward to trips to Boulder. We’re glad you guys are in the gang now!

The Hungry Toad

Has always been my favorite pub, burger included.

Mountain Sun

A lot of crap about this place that drives me nuts but the Basil Blue Burger is the best I’ve had in Boulder.

Shoulder to Shoulder

Yup

Mountain Sun/Southern Sun definitely need to be on the list.

Dark Horse

Dark Horse best burger in Boulder, no contest.

by nateluo on Jul 12, 2011 11:18 AM MDT reply actions  

Dark horse is overrated. Thunderbird is good. I’m going with the Sink here just because you have to go there if you are in Boulder.

Dark Horse

But Sink for reasons mentioned above since I don’t see a category it can win

SINK BURGER

Agree with Andrew above…..You gotta go with the Sink Burger for the overall classic Boulder experience.

larkburger

u can pick the doness and the truffles kick ass! plus the sink is where people will go anyway for drinks and such

Tough choice

I really liked the Thunderbird on the Hill and then Mountain Sun of course, but I have to go with the Pearl Street Pub. Not sure if it was b/c I was loaded most of the times i ate there but they always seemed to hit the spot. The Dark Horse is ok, but you have to drive there….so, I cannot choose them.

Also, how about adding the category of “Best Deck?” I’d say K’s China. Don’t eat the food, but cheap beer (Buff Gold) and mixed drinks.

MT/SO SUN!!!!

especially when they mess up someone else order and they let you have theirs for free!! gotten many free fries and couple burgers here and there.

by hisnamewas on Jul 12, 2011 5:09 PM MDT reply actions  

Mountain Sun gets my vote

That blue cheese burger is great

by HBbuff on Jul 12, 2011 8:26 PM MDT reply actions  

Southern Sun

Junk-Burger w/ fries and one of their micro-brews after getting the giant plate of Nachos

Best Burger after midnight? The Pub on Pearl

1) Mountain Sun/Southern Sun - Junk Burger

2) Dark Horse – Jiffy Burger
3) The Sink – Sink Cheeseburger

All three are some of my favorite/most unique Boulder food places. When I come to town for a long weekend, I end up eating nothing but burgers because they’re my favorite places to go. Great beer selection at #1 and #3, too.
