Try the guac-rocket, a burger piled high with guacamole, pepper jack cheese, and bacon, with a side of sweet potato fries.

This sweet parlor is located inside a giant milk jug, and all the ice cream is hand-made just a few blocks away. In the summer, salted Oreo and Mexican chocolate are favorites. In the winter, some hits don't even involve ice cream such as pulled pork or mac and cheese inside a savory cones (of the plain, flaxseed, and parmesan garlic variety).

If you are searching for a low-key sports bar to watch the big game, look no further. Settle down at the bar and order the $1.50 tacos or a $2 breakfast burrito. 

This nonprofit eatery whips up a different breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu daily using simple, minimal, easy-to-say ingredients. The atmosphere is casual, but the food is gourmet, and best of all, you pay whatever you think the meal was worth. 

Snuggle up in this lounge for dinner, late-night nibbles (such as baked ricotta and lamb chops), dessert, or just come for the craft cocktails. Happy hour or late-night, this is the perfect place to unwind and indulge. 

At this casual eatery, adorned with Chicago-inspired mementos, the Italian beef sandwiches and Vienna Beef hot dogs reign supreme. The pepper and egg sandwiches are also a fan favorite. 

Located in the basement of an old house, this restaurant has been a Boulder staple since 1923. Guests are encouraged to leave a piece of themselves behind and graffiti the six-and-a-half feet high ceilings.

Dig into burgers made from all-natural, hormone- and antibiotic-free meat. Order the five-star burger or the green chile cheeseburger.

If you're looking for a down-home meal made from scratch, look no further. Try the fried chicken and the root beer float, but save room for the special peach cobbler.

This casual dinner spot is a restaurant, bar, and venue for live entertainment. Order the spicy Cajun black and blue burger or the club sandwich.
