Boulder View Tavern

Food was hardly edible. Absolutely disgusting. The nacho chips were stale and the “queso” certainly wasn’t cheese. Despite advertising that they had gluten free, we were informed that menu items labeled gluten free actually had gluten (which we learned after ordering, receiving, and eating the food). My burger was burned even though I ordered medium rare. That’s probably for the best though… I know the poconos aren’t known for great food, but when you mess up a burger?! Next time I’m cooking myself.

The staff all around the restaurant were wonderful, and our service was extremely fast. Our server was extremely attentive. The atmosphere was also beautiful, we loved sitting by the windows and seeing the water and mountains. Nothing bad to say there. However, the food was below average. The French onion soup had onions that weren't caramelized, and the gluten free bread inside (the default bread) tasted burned. I am a gluten free individual due to allergies, so I am used to weird gluten free bread textures, but this one was really not good. I also ordered chili cheese nachos for $14 and got the smallest amount of chili and fries covered in lettuce and sour cream. Everything about these food items tasted processed/canned, hardly any flavor, and just overall the quality was not there. I felt like I had went to a fast food joint and paid triple the price. If you are looking to go for a good atmosphere for a drink, this place is wonderful! However, the food is very below average especially for the prices, so I suggest staying away if you're looking for food.

Had great options for gluten free/vegan/vegetarian and since we were a mixed group, it worked out great. My burger was excellent, the short rib was delicious, bean burgers were reported as excellent by the people who had those. Nachos with no meat, just crema were really good. This will be a place we go to often. Prices seem better than many places, service is great.
