Foolish Craig's is a must do in Boulder! They have the best bloody marry i have had in Colorado I had the Fried Chicken Eggs Benedict with cheese grits & it was amazing! 5 star service! Great Place!

Brenda Holt

Spinach and tomato eggs Benedict is worth traveling 1900 miles to have!! The best, I had them a year ago on a visit and have not stopped thinking about it. Repeated a year later was FABULOUS too!!

Tried to get a table at snooze for my cousins wedding brunch but the wait was too long. Foolish Craig's next door accommodated 10 of us! The food was delicious and the service was amazing!

Nathan Wright

Warm and friendly service , unpretentious atmosphere . Stopped here mid-afternoon for drinks and was jealous I wasn't eating brunch . Definitely coming back.

Corn beef hash is awesome. Also, if your a fan of Bacon , this is the place for you.

They told us it would be 45 minutes for brunch and it was 15 -- way faster than Snooze next door. Get one of the specialty mimosas !

The French toast was a disaster and also not cheap for the size. Also the waitress didn't have her best day I guess.

Aaron Collison

In a follow up to the tip about the mole : the bartender comped my beer and gave me a 10% discount . He said he would pass my comments to the chef/cook/whatever.

Tom Egan

The BLT w/ gauc is awesome. Definitely go with the side of pasta salad as well .

The Cuban sandwich ... definitely the Cuban.

Try the BLT Guacamole ! The grits are amazing too!

Breast'o Pesto crepe is WAY too good to pass up, esp. If you add bacon !

The tortilla chips aren't the best. Stick with the pasta salad or fries for a side.
