Foolish Craig's Review

A true pearl street classic. Beautiful cozy ambiance with delicious food. I got the green chilie Benedict and their legendary cheesy grits with a side of bacon. Worth every penny

We were there for trivia night. Great food, good beer, and tremendous fun!

Good service and great local feel, but the food was second-rate. Stick with vegetarian options because the meat tends to be over overcooked.

I was seated immediately right around lunch time. I ordered a signature Bloody Mary with their house mix and bacon. It tasted a it off at first, but after letting it sit for a couple minutes all the ingredients did their work and it was quite good... I have a high standard for a good Bloody Mary and many places fall well short.

For food I ordered the breakfast tacos with chorizo. In retrospect I should have added tomato, onion, and maybe lettuce with them. They were pretty tasty and the hot sauce on the side had good flavor. The black beans that came with it were typical, but the potatoes were prepared perfectly.

The space is neat and fits right in with the overall Boulder feel.

It's rare that I consider leaving a poor review, but unfortunately this place has earned it. The food was incredibly bland, yet priced at a premium ($12+ per 'sandwich'). We got the Cuban sandwich which had a wonderful description including pulled pork and pickles. It was served on a fresh and well-textured, yet flavorless sandwich roll.

There truly was no taste other than the mustard and the overwhelming taste of... Well, flavorless bread. We also tried the Philly cheese steak, which should have been honored by leaving it in it's hometown. This local redux followed the recipe to a tee but was unable to muster any variation in flavor other than, again, the same non-descript bread.

Did I let my server know? No, we did not see again until halfway through the meal. For better or worse, I will not complain about my meal when I've consumed half of it. It wasn't terrible, so I did not refuse it. Just uninspired and overpriced.

In fairness, the quality of the meats, the bread and the tea were all perfectly reasonable. It was the palette which was lacking.

The tea was "local," evidently, although that was all that the server could tell me about it. A Google search revealed the tea spot, is in fact, located in Boulder.

For $50 for two people at a late lunch (including two beverages, but no appetizers), I would expect considerably more in terms of flavor and a more attentive server. The other employees gave us more table time than she did. Sorry, Craig, but I won't be foolish enough to return here.

Had a fantastic meal. First time had a pulled pork crepe and it was sweet and savory. My friend had the nutella crepe. Both were awesome! Lisa was our server and she was friendly and provided excellent service. Thank you Lisa!

Last Sunday night I was in your bar area having a drink and the bar keeper made me a drink. My credit card I was told was not acceptable to pay my tab with so I went and got cash from an ATM. This I found odd because there was a patron that paid with a credit card and no issue. Just as I was finishing my drink I was asked to leave. ????? I had no idea what happened and still don't. I have never been treated so negatively in this town. I am now believing my friends that told me that Boulddr does not treat black people with kindness. There was an undertone of racism and prejudice from the staff when I simply asked why. No response

I'd heard about Foolish Craig's as a breakfast place and met a friend for breakfast there (although at the time, I was looking for "Crazy Dave's"). I was not disappointed. The breast-o-pesto crepe is delicious although these days I am opting for the breakfast sandwich. Later, I found out about their dinner menu! Yum! While it has gone through several permutations through the years, the entrees never disappoint me. I LOVE their chicken marsala (and it makes for good leftovers if I can't finish it). The brussel sprout appetizer is something even my 8-year old will eat. And if we've saved room for dessert, I will ALWAYS opt for the Whole Thing Crepe...or the Strawberries and Nutella...oh wait, the tiramisu crepe cake...it's difficult to decide because they are all so delicious! And we ALWAYS get great service from their staff.

Love their Bloody Mary's!! Awesome food too!! Staff is always fun and knowledgable. One of my favorite brunch places.

Absolutely delicious breakfast/brunch location. Diners, Drive In's, & Dives certified. Excellent location on Pearl, stellar staff, great owner, and outstandimg food. Had Foolish Craig's crepe and coffee. Had enough leftovers for the next morning. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience, atmosphere, and food. Definitely recommend !

A boulder classic! Love coming here for brunch. Their food is always good and they have plenty of vegetarian options
