10. Redgarden Restaurant and Brewery

Redgarden is located in a business park and thus ideally located for business meals. In addition, EVO wall climbing and fitness center is in the adjacent building with its evening visitors. Hopefully nearby residents will find this restaurant as well. Spacious setup, big rounded bar and additional bar style high chair tables. Patio outside. Regular tables, too. Microbrewery in the same facility. We tasted their IPA and Pale Ale-both very good. Menu has a lot Vegan and gluten free options. Vegetable Megley and trout were both delicious. This is a brand new restaurant with a couple non-disturbing hiccups. Friendly service with just right level of attention.

We have eaten at several Outback's, some are excellent, some not so much. At this one, the meal was above average, not really good, but not too bad either. We probably would not come back to this Outback. My wife's salmon was undercooked and not really warm.

The Empire Lounge and Restaurant provides hometown hospitality with professional knowledge and passion. Relax amongst your closest friends or entertain your most important client. Either way, our doors are open for you.
Reviewed By BoulderHomeBase
The Empire is right in our own backyard in Louisville. Very much under rated. Choice in atmosphere between sidewalk dining outdoors, warm cozy dining room, larger room or comfortable bar seating. The Empire never disappoints. Many delicious appetizers to choose from. Entrees on the "Supper" menu make for tough choices. But, keep an eye on the nightly specials, especially the delicious bone-in Cowboy Ribeye and well complemented sides. Wait staff is always friendly and attentive. They work well together, especially when things get busy so that your overall dining experience is a good one. If you are looking for a good meal in an unpretentious venue, the Empire deserves a look.

We had a nice and relaxing evening in the lounge part of this motel. To start, Henry Y. greeting us warmly to the restaurant and provided outstanding customer service the whole time we were there. His personality and concerns for the customer speaks well for this place. I loved the Salmon BLTA . My husband had the spaghetti and he too enjoyed his meal. If we ever come back to Louisville again, this will definitely be a restaurant that we will return to in the future. Thanks for making our evening a great one with great food and great service.Hello Idaho Walker,Thank you so much for stopping in on your visit to Colorado! We agree with you about Henry, he is truly top notch! We appreciate your review and hope to see you again someday.

We have eaten here a number of times over the years, but our visits in 2019 have been subpar. Dined last night and we were disappointed with our calamari (unfortunately soggy tempura) and our crab cake salads (cold crab cakes). The atmosphere here, as well as the pricing, calls for a higher quality of food than what we encountered during our more recent visits. It seems like things have fallen off a bit. Too bad.Thank you for taking time to review your latest visit, John. I'm sorry to hear things were not up to our usually high quality standards. I hope on your next visit in if something is just not right, please bring it to your server's or the manager's attention. My philosophy is to ensure every guest is happy with the food they have ordered. I agree that prices have gone up, but as we have experienced two minimum wage increases over the last two years, unfortunately some of that has to be passed on to the consumer. Thank you for your continuing patronage. We hope to see you in again soon.

had a GREAT lunch at this little local restaurant right on main street in small town Louisville, CO
Reviewed By TonkamanMN
Cameron was our waiter and made life exciting for the two and a half hours we were there. The menu was exceptionally good although simple, and the food choices were Exquisite! We had real beef jerky, and followed up by a couple of beers and some burgers, with live entertainment from many mountains, we had an excellent experience. The staff is extremely friendly, atmosphere vibrant and the outside deck area is fun for a late evening Cool Breeze :-) definitely coming back next time in town. Oh, and try the super Brownie dessert it's the size of a brick of your fireplace but it's a brownie with ice cream and whipped cream all over it.! Holy buckets :-)

The Huckleberry serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in an atmosphere of fun, creative, comfort. Our food is created to be "Funky Country" - real food you recognize and love with a modern twist. We've taken American Classics and added a hint of culinary sop
Reviewed By Martin A
I'm a huge fan! Been going to Huckleberry for many years, pretty much every time I'm in the Boulder area. There are many good breakfast/lunch spots in the general area, but I would rank the Huckleberry at the top of the list. Quaint older building, service is top notch, great food, and excellent coffee, (something a lot of breakfast places seem to miss). Highly recommended!

A friendly and welcoming place, the meats - and that after all is what barbeque in about - are very good. Sides were surprisingly good as well - especially the potato salad. A good choice if you are in the area and can find a place to park.

Early Bird has one of the best weekend brunches around! It is just so hard to decide what to order each time.On this most recent visit, we started with vanilla lattes and cappuccinos and they were delicious. The pancakes, eggs, biscuits, huevos rancheros, breakfast potatoes, and sausages were all tasty and plentiful. I don't believe there is anything bad on this menu.You get great service, delicious food, and huge portions when dining here. I will be back!
