The Boulder Tap House - Mason City in Mason City

Beware. The staff shuts down alcohol at 9:30 and at 9:45 PM no more drinks other than pop and water will be served to you so they can clean the bar and go home earlier.

Onion rings are unbeatable, and ALL of their hand-crafted burgers are award winning!

The food here was extremely good. The staff was very frendly.I had the sourdough burger, side of chili, and fried pickle chips.

Always good food and drinks. Very friendly and attentive staff. Have not had a bad experience yet. Every item we have ordered has always came out fresh and hot.

Wife and I ate there and the food was ok but nothing to really brag about. Wife had a water and I had a lemonade to drink, and I got one refill and I asked for another with a response of no you already had a refill.... If my two glasses werent 100% ice i wouldnt have needed a third.. Wife never did get her refill on water and yet our bill was 58 dollars... I will spread the word and wont be back ever.. The server was a slow and very unfriendly.

The portions are to small for the price they want. The bartender was very nice and polite along with the other employees but the food portion needs to meet the price!

Cheese curds were exceptional. Hamburger meat was bland. Good sandwich combination but lacked flavor. Would have like extra BBQ sauce on it. Staff were great.

The Philly was good and the burger was great. Service at the bar was awesome. Great selection of brews.

My first time here and I wasnt unsatisfied!I had their summer salad - which was amazing to say the least. Their homemade daily Vanilla Parmesan Creme dressing was a hit (Ive tried to recreate it at home, but no such luck, yet)!Ill be back!

One of my favorite places to get a burger! Great food, great service. The Spiked shakes are fantastic. They used to have a stuffed jalapeno and peanut butter burger, unfortunately they no longer have that but they do have a jalapeno stuffed burger and you can ask for peanut butter to put on the burger itself. Its amazing.

The food is really good but I find it best to not be in too big of a hurry. I have stopped here for lunch and got seated right away... But then it has taken a while for a server to stop by. This has happened a few times. I am patient, so nor a huge deal for me, but I could see how others would not like it.

Very enjoyable meal..... have much to pick from. The service was awesome.... couldnt get anyone better.

Large selection of beers and food. Taste was a little bland but that may be due to our food selection. Chili was exceptional however. I would consider coming back just for that. Happy hour until 6. Service was just right, not hovering but always there when you needed them.

I ordered the cheese curds for an appetizer. Had the Hickory Cheddar Burger and fries for an entree. I cant remember the name of the margarita I had but it was a good size and was delicious. Nothing needs improvement, portions were generous, service was spot on. The beer menu has something for everyone. Ill be back as soon as I have another opportunity.

We stopped in on Monday May 30th at 2:30pm.  We were seated and the person left.  Another table behind us was sat 5 minutes after us.  They got their drinks and put their order in before we even got asked about our drink order.  We ordered 2 appetizers.    It took 30 minutes for the appetizers.  The waters sat empty for 30+ minutes.   Each time our server/bartender came to our table she said she would go check on our food, but we never once saw her go check on it.  She went back behind the bar and hung out.After an hour ( a full freaking hour), I had to walk to the bar and flag a server down to ask where our food was, as 6 other tables had come in, ordered, and either eaten and left or had their food.  Our server came out and said someone "bumped" our food.  Whatever that means.  She said the manager was coming to talk to us.  The manager never showed up.  Had our server actually checked on our food the 2 times she said she was going to; this would have been caught.  Had our server been attentive or even stopped by our table to Inquire or noticed we had been there since the dining room was empty (as it now had almost 10 tables come through), this would have been caught.She said they were just now starting the food, but after over an hour, we had no faith in that actually happening. Things happen, I get it.  But the issue was had the server done the basics, this would not have happened.  Something as simple as actually checking on food, this would have been avoided.I messaged the restaurant and heard back that day (May 30th).  The manager, Brenda, aked if she could send gift certificates to give them another chance.  Here it is 3 weeks later and nothing.   We wanted to like this place.   We were excited to try it since we live out of town. The service was some of the worst I have had, and the management does not follow through.   Diner beware!

Called to pla e and order for delivery was transferred to bar stayed on hold 20 minutes trying to figure out why the young lady was gone take my order if I was picking up but not for deliver . Go to Buffalo Wild Wings food probably better there anyway .

Had the lettuce wrap and it was very good. Waitress was very kind and explained about my choice before I ordered.

Food, service, and beer are always good at this place. We eat and drink there about once a month.

I had such an experience here. I’m definitely coming here again. Tayleigh was my waitress . She was so nice. Very attentive. Great smile. My mom agrees. And prices are agreeable also.

Best place in town. Always fast and friendly service. Food is always amazing and well priced. Establishment is always clean. Wait staff cleans not only tables and chairs but floors in between customers. Greatly recommend.

We went to Boulder Tap House tonight for our daughters birthday. We had McKenna as our server. McKenna was fabulous!! She obviously loves her job !! The food was great but McKennas service was even better! We will be back again soon ❗️ THANKS MCKENNA ❗️

It was fine. Sort of run of the mill sports bar and menu. I did really enjoy the music videos playing on some TVs.We ordered a ton of appetizers as they were 1/2 price during happy hour. The avocado fries were my favorites. I had a bowl of chili that was divine.Service was OK. Our server kept trying to bring our bill before we were ready so felt rushed. We wanted to just hang out and have a nice relaxed dining experience.Clean space, plenty of seating with a variety of high & low top tables. Bar seating as well. Several beers, a couple of drinks, appetizers, soup & salad only $60.

Excellent food, excellent service, Love The surroundings, And the drinks are phenomenal, My son Lee Dutcher and my daughter-in-law Christal Dutcher had purchase me a Carmel Apple martini🍸 And it was ooooh Soooooo good, I have never had any kind of Martini in my life, So I was a little skeptical, but I really liked it, this is now my favorite 🍸 drink. Thank you everyone for making this night a wonderful experience ✨️I recommend this place, you will not be let down at all!

Amazing! Hubby and I went out for date night and had a great time. It was a bit loud but it was Saturday night at 5pm so it was expected. Our waitress Brandi was super nice and checked in on us frequently. Hubby had the stuffed burger (I forget the nameand I had the double burger and we both had milkshakes. We made the mistake of thinking we could handle an appetizer without the kids there to help us eat it and ended up bring home almost all our onion rings but everything was superb!! The only downfall for us was all the sports lol we are not a sporty household but thats okay gave us a chance to actually talk to each other 😍 thanks for an excellent date night Boulder Tap House we will be back 😁

Cheese curds are the best ever great food

Came here for lunch, and ordered the traditional wings. They were super dry, basically no meat at all in them. My child ordered a burger, the bread was hard as a rock the meat was horribly dry.But the waitress was amazing, she was very kind! Continued to check on us thought our meal.

Got traditional wings (bone inand I gotta say hands down the best wings and you definitely get what you pay for. They do have a huge beer selection on tap but Im not a big drinker. I highly recommend this place if your in Mason City.

Had a few excellent IPAs plus I tried the avocado fries. Breaded and seasoned avocado slices with chipotle ranch. I know it sounds strange, but they were really delicious!!

My Husband and I come here often. Normally very good service and a decently good waiting time. Food is yummy- especially the wings. However almost every time I get fries as my side, they are cold.

This place was so busy I thought, it must be good food. It was OK. But not for the price they charged. I got the Philly cheese stake & onion rings. It wasnt as flavorful as I expected it to be. It definitely wasnt worth $17 & some change. A bit pricey for the food. Our service was outstanding though. Wonderful sever & the food came quickly. If they used salt & pepper or any Seasonings on the batter on The onion rings that would be good. And I would have given it 5 stars.

We really had a great time! The manager Brenda greeted us when we arrived and made sure the room we reserved was ready. The server Alicia was very attentive and did a great job of taking care of our large group. The food was very good and the private area was great for our party! We will definitely be back!

Not too many parking spaces compared to the amount of people that fit inside. The tatses to the standard and the price matches the quality pretty good. Decent service and nice interior designs.

We had to totchos. Cobb salad and cheddar/egg burger a flight of beers. The. Iowa was good and the Carmel apple cider.. the peanut butter not so much...Great conversation with Manage with 50 on tap!!

I really like this place. Great food. Great drink selection. New and clean facilities. Go for the food you actually want, not the food you think you should eat.

Good service. Good burgers and Turkey sandwiches. Avocado fries were different. Fantastic variety of beers. Brandi was a good server.

Dinner was amazing with the large group we were part of you all did an amazing job with the service will be back I am from Wisconsin and my fiancé brought me down to visit her family please keep up the great service you all are amazing thank you again

Or server was great and the food is wonderful. I usually get a burger but I tried the tacos tonight and Im looking forward to exploring more of the menu soon.

Has always been good food on our visits, and always an excellent beer tap selection. If I didnt live so far away I would join their loyalty program

Great service, great food, and awesome company.

Great food Good service excellent beer selection

We had a very enjoyable meal and drinks on a busy Holiday Weekend! I really enjoy the Lettuce Wrap Appetizers & Tap House Teas.

It’s a sports bar feel with great food. The nachos are amazing. The burgers are big and will give your taste buds a run for their money.

Food was delicious, waiter was awesome. We will definitely be going back here

I got the blackened cod sandwich off of the summer seasonal menu. For being blackened there were almost no spices to speak of. The whole sandwich was bland. I also ordered a small bbq traditional wing. Normally the wings are excellent but these were not. The skin wasn’t crispy and the interior was tepid. Seemed like they were pulled to quickly from the fryer.

We arrived on a busy Friday night and didnt have to wait for a table which was so nice. Service was fine food was great and overall atmosphere was welcoming. I recommend the cheese squares- next time Im doing a double order as my meal.

Outstanding! Service was the real star here. Food was very good, and arrived quickly. Prices were to be expected, you get what you pay for. Highly recommend checking it out!

We originally stopped to get drinks and continue on our trip however the homemade tater tots made into nachos seemed like something fun to try. Based on our preference they were underwhelming and kind of a disappointment. They perhaps could have been cooked longer and seasoned better. My husband ended up ordering a burger stuffed with pepper jack cheese and it was honestly one of the best burgers I have ever had! It was handemade and not some prefrozen Patty. Our waitress and bartender were friendly and explained all the different beers and let us try several.

We stopped in for a cocktail and a lil lunch while we were on vacation. I had their version of cheese curds and they were delicious. I also had their wings with the habanero mango sauce... yum. Besides all the beers they have on tap, they also have a full bar.

Excellent food, great service. I had the Hickory Chedder Burger and I loved it. I would definitely recommend trying this place. It was worth the drive.

OMG Very yummy pretzel sticks w/ beer cheese. The burger was amazing!! Definitely a place to go back to! Just hope to get back sooner than a year!! LOVE THE FOOD AND SERVICE IS AWESOME!!!
