Casual and unpretentious, Jax is a fine stop in Boulder. The infused liquors provide a number of twists on traditional cocktails. The crab cakes are excellent, more crab than cake, and the steamers are one of the best bargains in town at $10.95. The mussels steamed with green curry are especially delectable. The barbecue shrimp, unfortunately, are not the traditional New Orleans preparation, but are nonetheless an excellent dish of grilled jumbos with barbecue sauce. On our favorites that we eat at regularly.
Pros: fresh seafood, excellent value
Cons: tight quarters
