I have a question. Why do they have 4 stars. If 8 people have rated them that is a possible 40 stars but they have only received 19 and well do the math to get the average amou...

city search can we depend on your site? stars don't add up? 10/2/2007

I have a question. Why do they have 4 stars. If 8 people have rated them that is a possible 40 stars but they have only received 19 and well do the math to get the average amount of stars. 40 divided by 19 is 2.1. They should be showing 2 stars not 4, don't you think 2 is nice enought. City Search can we depend on your website? more

bowling style minus being able to bowl 10/2/2007

If you like going to bowling alleys and hanging out but never much cared for bowling or the fact that the cheap food actually cost that much then you will like Toms Tavern. I don't know who said best burger in town maybe the gaggle of homeless looking people that hang out there. Anyway, don't waste your time or money on this joint. If you want a good burger on Pearl go to one of the pubs. Cons: rehydrated defrosted food truck stop waitresses that smelled like cigaretts table was dirty ...... more

Yuck!!!!! 8/23/2007

I went into Toms thinking I would be able to enjoy a good, inexpensive burger in a low key local pub type place. Instead I got a concession stand quality burger (for $8) with overcooked frozen fries. Not to mention the waitress who appeared to be on something. She kept wiping her nose with her hand, talking really loud, fast and constantly about nothing and made me feel nervous because she wouldn?t stop fidgeting. I have no idea how management didn?t notice. Toms Tavern is the worst place all around I have been in Boulder. You?re better off at BJ?s or Old Chicago. more

best burgers boulder colorado 8/15/2007

tom's tavern was a big disapointment. heard about it and was in boulder from florida on vacation. so made it a point to stop in for a burger. was at most a frozen burger you would expect from a bowling alley of sorts. small, hard and bland. had many better burgers in boulder than tom's.being from rochester ny. where they grind their surloin fresh everyday and melt in your mouth freshness. sorry but tom's is not the burger for boulder's best. more

Boulder Classic 7/8/2004

Toms has been a meeting place for a great period of time for me, and it holds a special place in my heart. The corner booth overlooking Pearl and 10th has been the mecca of great experiences with friends. Toms burger is classic, no greasier than any other burger, and comes with a side and fries. The ambience and service are just classic Toms, very chill and satisfying. After a brief hiatus from Toms, my most recent visit found that their portions of side dish and fries have decreased slightly, which leaves you with a just enough feeling, rather than the Im full feeling, of previous years. Pros: classic, atmosphere, service more

Greasy is right! 9/1/2003

This place has by far the worst burgers in Boulder. The burgers are fried in grease, not char-broiled. That puts them in the same class with Macdonalds, somewhere below Burger King, even. For good burgers in Boulder, go to the West End Tavern, 14th St Grill, or Dolan's. Even Chili's or TGIF is far better than old Tom's. Cons: Greasy, bland, overrated more

If you haven't been, make the trip to the west end of the Boulder mall, and after the burger go around the corner for a tasty marg at Juanita's!!! more
