Problem for me was I had only today left here so I forced my friend to split the blueberry pancakes and I also had the rustic Benedict, excellent! Service was great and got seated in 10 mins.
Kevin RickertAugust 12, 2017Chai Latte was excellent, Chicken & French Toast was amazing. Must have breakfast while in Boulder. Be prepared to wait a bit, but so worth it.
Order the half size if you’re not a lumberjack - their normal portion is huge!
Pei 👻 WenJanuary 8, 2016Great vibes and fabulous brunch food. Their wall doodle features rock climbers and road bikers! :)
Everything is amazing here. Try the California omelet scrambled style. To die for!
Saddlebags! With this magical dish you can have meat INSIDE your pancakes with two eggs on top! If you are a fan of breakfast, roll out of bed and get to the Buff.
Ann ShekSeptember 13, 2014Had the saddlebags with bacon. So good, but definitely split this with at least 2 people!!!
Bob ScholemOctober 25, 2022All six of us had a great breakfast each ordering a different egg skillet. The bloody merry and mimosa for $0.99 were a great addition
Paola MckeeSeptember 4, 2017Huge portions, 99 cent mimosas, amazing dirty chai with soy milk. Get saddleback if you like sweet savory mix. This is the place for a hearty breakfast.
Allison KasicSeptember 8, 2019Get something smothered in green Chile (the best of which is probably the Ole skillet)
Nathalie De ClercqOctober 16, 2014Come, get a place in line, go shopping. Worth the 1 hour wait. Food is amazing. Bloody Mary is a must.
EmilyNovember 24, 2015Delicious food but be careful--when they ask you if you want maple syrup they mean REAL maple syrup and will charge you $2 more.
Kian LaviMay 25, 2019The huevos rancheros are phenomenal, and all of their teas and coffees are really good too
MatMay 25, 2015Carmel pecan quesadilla--damn good. Mom thought ole skillet was just ok but I really liked the Pacific Benedict. The lemon pecan pancake was pretty good but not killer.
Kaufman NgMay 4, 2018the ole skillet is tasty. Portions are a little big for me in general. Come hungry.
Gregg VincentMay 18, 2016Had the Olé and it didn't disappoint. Great food, large amount, great price and staff.- Drew FreyMarch 9, 2013The Ole skillet is really the only choice and if you don't order pork green chile on it, you're an idiot.
Lindsay KoehlerJuly 10, 2011The sandlebags are tasty! Sweet and savory in every bite - bacon in your pancakss. Yum. Also $.99 bloody marys and mimosas ain't too shabby ;)
Travel ChannelAugust 11, 2011On Man v Food, Adam Richman visits The Buff and chows down on their legendary saddlebags -- a secret recipe of pancakes with bits of bacon and sausage cooked into the batter.
Katie ChildressJanuary 21, 2017Great food. Wouldn't recommended The huevos rancheros though. Everything was awesome though!
Shawn HimeMay 4, 2013Get the saddle bag with bacon. Don't even look at the menu! Just look the server in the eye & say "Saddle bag with bacon"! Done & done.
T CallahanNovember 20, 2014Can get 3 99¢ mimosas, Bloody Mary's or tequila sunrises with your entree. Awesome.
Grace BoyleNovember 21, 2011$0.99 bloody mary's and mimosas! Key. Good hungover food. Also, they get you seated pretty fast even for a weekend busy brunch.
Pancakes, mimosas, all the other breakfast foods, Bloody Marys, as needed.
Minerva GallagherOctober 14, 2012The staff is great, I had the two step with an iced 3rd street chai. Everything is perfect!!!!
Jake BOctober 13, 2013Actually. ..you want the olé skillet with both green Chile and queso. Ask for both - it's awesome!
Jyll SaskinJune 27, 2013Gluten-free heaven. Try the granola pancakes with almond butter and REAL maple syrup.
Pedro SorrentinoAugust 15, 2011Try the Saddlebags with bacon. Absolutely great for a hangover when you have a .99c mimosa as the hair of the dog.
The French toast and waffles are maybe one of the best things I've put in my mouth.- Pedro SorrentinoDecember 23, 2012When god wrote the hangover cure formula he said: you shall have saddlebags with bacon and maple syrup. It's on the bible. At least, on the awesome version of the book.
Micah AlcornNovember 4, 2014Nahika is the happiest server ever. Ask for her if you want a bright start to your day!
Hannah AlkadiJune 4, 2019[crocodile dundee voice] What you’ve eaten before isn’t a pancake. THIS is a pancake.
The restaurant moved across the street. Now at 2600 Canyon Blvd. In the old Original Pancake House Bldg.
Saddlebags: what more is there to say? I like to have blueberries added to mine.
Patricia SmeltzerAugust 11, 2012The California omelet was incredible. Good coffee too! Seems like a popular place.
Get in early (pre-9am), before the student rush. Great food, great service.
Todd DragooSeptember 19, 2022Long waits on the weekend but excellent service and 99 cent drinks with entrees.
Stephanie FallsOctober 9, 2011The ole was ammmmazing but spicy. If u don't like spice Alister loved the hm corn beef hash!
