Wild Pastures Burger Company

Tried out Wild Pastures Burger Company while passing through Boulder. I would say this is a healthy version of Five Guys and we enjoyed it. All beef is grass fed and the fries are cooked in beef tallow instead of seed oils. All their sauces are made in house and our experience was good. We got a Double Burger with Pepper Jack, Single Burger with Swiss and a Large Fry. Food came out quickly as you order at the register then they call your name to pick it up. It is a little on the pricier side but that is expected for better quality food. Great experience!

I don't know why it took me so long to try this place. I ordered a Standard Wild Beef with cheddar, American, pickles, caramelized onions, and mustard on brioche. Side of Small Organic Fries and the Chimmichuri aioli. The burger was so fresh, super filling, amazing flavor, juicy and great char. The fries were solid, nice and crispy. The Chimmichuri sauce is so good and fresh tasting. It reminds me of a mint yogurt sauce that would go on a lamb dish in a nice restaurant. I also loved the little note they left. 10/10 will be going back/ordering again.

What a great find when we had an appointment just down the street. I really like the build your own burger style place and Wild Pastures did not disappoint. The burgers were so nice and juicy! Great bun with the perfect meat to bun ratio, atheist on the double/regular burger...the bun ratio was a little off on the single. Now....don't get me wrong, the burgers are GREAT....but.... THE FRIES ARE INCREDIBLE!!! It's nice that the large came with a choice of 2 sauces as well. I have already told so many people about Wild Pastures Burger Co and I will keep talking about it. Price was pretty good too...super quality food, friendly service and with out 5guys prices! I don't get to boulder much...but when I do, I know I'll be back!

After hearing about this place on Culture Apothecary we had to try. Amazing first time experience. The man taking our order explained everything and offered to try lots of options. Delicious double patty blue cheese bacon lettuce wrap. Wow Onion stack was perfectly seasoned. Will be back

What i like the most about this place is the healthy and conscientious vendors and foods they choose. Grassfed, non GMO, no feedlots, better oils, etc. However, the fries were really salty and dry and the chocolate milkshake tasted awful so I didn't drink it. I like stevia sweetened foods but this had monk fruit in it. I didn't like that but I really wanted something cold to enjoy. I would not get the milkshakes again for that reason, or the fries. The burgers were great, with lots of fabulous toppings and sauces! Each burger patty is only about 3 ounces so consider that when ordering. Service was great! Atmosphere was more pleasant than most but the music wasn't very good.

Everything is made to order. Smash burger style. Great seasoning on the onion string fries, also made fresh after ordered. Quick to get our food!! Smart soda machine. Friendly staff. Very clean!!

don’t usually eat out, but I treated myself on a cheat day, and wow—this burger exceeded all expectations. Every bite was incredible: the meat is very flavorful, the fries were crispy and flavorful, the sauce was spot-on, and the veggies tasted fresh and vibrant. My friend called it the best burger he’s had in years, and I can’t argue with that—it’s truly unforgettable.

A quality restaurant that keto people can be excited about! Really tasty lettuce wrap burger with lots of good add-on options and sauces. The no sugar added milkshakes are delicious and probably the most exciting treat I’ve found at a restaurant being on keto. Haven’t tried the bone broth but it’s so cool that it’s an option. Value is decent for good quality ingredients, but not the cheapest obviously. I wasn’t able to get any nutrition facts or details on net carbs for the milkshake, so it’s hard to say exactly how keto friendly it is, but I was willing to indulge even if it has some carbs.

Delicious burger in Boulder; one of the better meals I've had eating out in Boulder. Ordered the standard with burger sauce and fries. These guys definitely pride themselves on their quality ingredients and it definitely showed. It is one of the best tasting burgers I've had in a while and left me feeling like I had a good hearty meal. The part that stood out the most to me interestingly enough was the cheese on the burger. I've had my fair share of cheeseburgers, but I think this is the first one where I acknowledged the cheese having an awesome flavor and actually bringing everything together and adding a great flavor to it. I thought the fries were very good too. Bonus points for beef tallow. Overall a good meal and left full and happy. A fair value definitely for Boulder, but was starting to push it with a burger and fries being $20. And that didn't include a drink. So you're getting up there in price if you do anything further, especially for a burger and fries. Would recommend and would return.

The only reason I gave this restaurant two stars instead of zero is for the presentation of the burgers and the friendliness of the staff. The food looked amazing when it arrived--but unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. The burgers were so greasy that there was a layer of congealed oil at the bottom of the wrapper. The patties were paper-thin yet still pink inside and tasted burnt or heavily charred. The bacon was so overcooked it felt like chewing rocks. The fries had an odd flavor I couldn't identify, and the ketchup looked more like cocktail sauce with a strange consistency. It has been three hours since eating, and I still have a heavy oily taste in my mouth and feel extremely nauseous. After four months in Colorado, I can honestly say this was one of the worst meals we've had

Let's get a couple things cleared up before I leave this 1-star review. I am 38 years old, have lived in multiple different states and have consumed and greatly enjoyed food from many different cultures- I have not kept myself inside of an insular food bubble. That said, I am an American and have had tons of different hamburgers & fries. I will now tell you this... The hamburger & fries I got from wild pastures was absolutely the worst I've ever had. The very first thing I noticed upon entering the building was the overwhelming smell of tallow and cleaner. My son said it smelled like a worse school cafeteria. The one thing that was good about the french fries was that they were generally crispy, but it was inconsistent - a lot of them were too squishy. I couldn't get past the fact that they tasted like tallow, and the only thing that helped was dipping them in the ketchup which was tasty. At least they were salted well. The burger: The meat itself was fine, but I'm just wondering why they didn't salt and pepper it? Has this place ever heard of garlic salt? There was no flavor found in the burger whatsoever besides the onions and pickles lol. I ordered the chimichurri sauce on the side but it literally tasted like nothing. The wild sauce also had a weird, off flavor and I couldn't bear to eat it. Also, the hamburger dumped out so much grease while I was trying to eat it. pretty much everything was incredibly greasy, it just turned me off so much. I just don't understand why a place like this that prioritizes being generally healthier than the average fast food joint doesn't prioritize flavor as well. Is it because of the demographic found in Boulder? I don't know, but my son made a comment that I actually agreed with. The place had some kind of religious undertone. My husband, son and I all had different meals, and none of us liked them. I will say, the one star is for the nice young man that checked us out, and the milkshake. I would definitely step in for a milkshake, but I will never eat the food here again.

Truly my favorite place. I drive from denver as often as I can. You can taste the difference of the quality of the food vs normal "burger joints". Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

Burgers were great! Meat (beef) definitely high quality. You order at the counter and choose your meat, cheese, toppings, sauce, and bun types. Nice selection of sides to select from. We ordered fried pickles and onion rings. Each came with sauces. Sides were good but the star is the meat. We ordered a shake, chocolate mint, definitely wouldn't recommend. No sugar? Not sure and I guess we should have read before we ordered! Overall, a good lunch place. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Our food Mw out fast.

98% of the menu is gluten free! When eating with Celiac, it can be challenging to eat out and find something the whole family agrees on that allows our son to safely eat out. Wild Pastures Burger was an absolute hit! It doesn't matter if you want wholesome food, gf options or just a good old burger that will leave you in food nirvana. The whole family was beyond satiated with happy bellies. And yes - even the bacon here is GF! So pile it on!!

Solid burgers with a lot of customizable options. We ordered lunch to go, so I didn't get to experience eating inside the restaurant, but it seemed like a very chill and comfortable place. My order was ready to go at the time listed, and everything was accurately included. Each burger is completely customizable, with a grass fed beef, chicken or veggie burger base. I ordered the junior chicken burger on a GF bun with bleu cheese, avocado, and paleo herb ranch dressing; it was a solid burger with decent flavor. My dining companion ordered the standard grass fed burger and really enjoyed it. We got our fries with extra seasoning, which I think is the way to go. My only suggestion for improvement would be to have some recommended combos. I appreciate the ability to customize, but it would also be nice to know what goes well together from the many options.

Really good burger options at good price. They have different size options for burgers which is helpful. You can order food and pick it up when it's ready. There is plenty of seating available. Good hangout spot!

First time here for lunch. The dark-haired lady at the order counter was visibly picking her ear. She never changed her glove. She was not handling food, but she did touch our drink glasses. My wife and I ordered. The order staff forgot the mushrooms. My wife ordered a chardonnay, but she got a cab instead. No big deal as she drank it anyway. I got a standard burger (double patty) and my wife got a standard chicken. Both had strange tastes - maybe it was the wild sauce. My burger did not taste beefy and the chicken was bland. My wife could not eat her chicken. My bun was too small for the size of the beef patties. A mess!! The fries were good but not great. The dining area was clean. Plenty of parking. There are so many other places to get a good burger - we will never return.

I will never return. I commend the folks for trying to be on the healthy side, but the execution is a fail. Greasy, yet dry patty and dry bun. Limp fried onion side with no color. Both the burger and side were so frick,in salty I couldn't finish.The place is not cheap, so a little oversight and staff training would help the end product. I could go on, but what's the point, no one is listening.

Enjoyed this relatively nouveau Boulder burger. I will say it was lovely, but perhaps a bit wet. Would return.

I can't say enough great things about this restaurant. You walk in and order at the counter. Take a seat inside or outside and they'll call your name to pick up your order. Everything is made without seed oil!!! Thank you!! Fries are fried in beef tallow! Shakes are keto friendly. You pick between grass-fed beef or chicken or veggie and then choice your toppings and dressings. Everything homemade! Amazing!! I'm not sure why more restaurants don't use seed oil but if you're health conscious and understand how bad seed oils are for you but still want tasty food, check them out! You won't be disappointed!

This place is an amazing find, no seed oils, house made sauces (even including the ketchup), a super rustic & cozy interior and plenty of options to choose from. The staff was super accommodating answering any question, and took pride in the quality of the food as they promptly showed me their ingredient list when I asked about their brioche buns. I ended up ordering a double patty burger on a brioche buns with their signature sauce, mustard, onions and pickles + a side of tallow fries. The sauces were outstanding, especially the chimichuri aioli. And the food itself could stand without the sauces as the quality of the grass finished ingredients really shined in each bite, gotta love tallow. It's a little pricier than ur average fast food burger, a tad cheaper than a burger I'd get at most restaurants & bars, but the quality & taste are leagues above both. Whether ur super granola or just enjoy a damn good burger & fries I highly recommend stopping here.

Delish! Very reasonably priced grass fed burgers and where else can you find grass fed tallow cooked fries?? I wish I lived closer. Needless to say I'll be coming back whenever in town. Service was great... I left my wallet accidentally and no money was taken . Serisouly a must try for you and a regular for my family and I.

Good Burgers, Good Fries Blah Blah - now lets talk about the Fried Jalapenos. Those might be the best thing I've put in my mouth in a long time. They fry them in Beef Tallow - I'm not sure you really digested that - its like they melted down a ribeye, saved all the amazing Umami fat, breaded Jalapeno pieces and deep fried it in that goodness. I tell you truth - dipped in ranch they are the most amazing thing you will eat this week. GREAT iced tea as well - so from now on I'm having Fried Jalapenos - maybe with a side of a burger here. One quick thing - nice place inside - but I couldn't really figure it out - couple college students but mostly tables of "core Boulder folks" - young hipsters and such - going somewhere that fries in beef tallow does not check out... Maybe they choose to eat well on the down low!!

It was crowded on a Friday night, but tables turned over quickly, and staff tried to be diligent about wiping down. Do NOT try and eat a burger while driving! They were drippy in the best way. The sour dough buns were soft. The toppings were great, but the burgers themselves were nothing to write home about. Very pedestrian. The onion straws were perfectly this, but needed a bit longer in the fryer.

Best burgers EVER. We come here with our 2 kids every week! Seed oil free, organic.. let's go baby!

Went here with a friend who is gluten free. Very easy for her to eat here. Nearly everything is gluten free. The burgers were delicious. So much better than your typical upscale burger. It must be the beef. The fries were really good too. Very crispy! Bathrooms smelled nice.

Very good. Get the standard double even if you're not really hungry, otherwise you won't taste the excellent beef patties. Shakes are not overly sweet and also worth it. Fries are better ordered extra crispy. Service was great and the team seemed to enjoy being there. Nice easy parking and plenty of seating.

Amazing food! 100/10 worth the hour + drive! People there were nice and seemed to love to be there. A little dark inside and yet was an amazing experience 100% grass fed and tallow which left me feeling amazing!

Overall was enjoyable especially for the price. I usually prefer normal burgers over smash burgers and this one didn't have a great crust so that was disappointing. The vegetables were fresh and good. The jalapeño horseradish aioli was ok. The bread to filling ratio was nice. The fries had a nice flavor but since they're fried in tallow they left a strange oily feeling in my mouth. Overall liked the vibe and fast service.

We were craving burgers again and while the last 3 that we got last year were sooo oversalted we were careful to order online asking for no added salt or sauces to both the fries and burgers. Again, meat was too salty, and I like salty things, but in a burger there is no way to counter that much sodium. If they would NOT use such a heavy hand when salting the meat it would make a much better tasting burger and we would frequent this place much more. PLEASE REDUCE your sodium levels in your burgers!!! PLEASE.

Burger was pretty good, albeit slightly over cooked (edges were crunchy). But I ordered fries and didn't realize til I got home that they didn't include them. They weren't even busy so no excuse there. Bummer...ended up paying $20 for a burger. It was good but not that good. There are plenty of other options in Boulder.

I get what they are trying to do. Make burgers with all organic and grass feed ingredients. The problem is that the beef has a game taste that is not appealing to everyone. Everything is fresh, fries are good, but when you try to make everything "organic" it can miss the target. The ketchup is organic also so not the sweet stuff many are used to. I hope this review doesn't paint this place as bad, because it isn't but be prepared for something different.

Stumbled upon this gem while driving back from snowshoeing with my husband. He was craving burgers and we wanted to try something new. This place was it!! Legit smell the meat as soon as you walk in. It's so fresh and delicious. I got the lettuce wrapped single burger with the house sauce. It was perfection but I definitely could have handled the double!! The fries were just okay, not my favorite type of potato but they did the job just fine. My husband was disappointed in the lack of "normal drinks" such as soda he is used to but they only offer those fresh organic drinks. Bonus: there's wine and beer! Perfect meal and drink after a long hike in the mountains!

This place has one of the best burgers I have had in a long time. The kind that is perfectly cooked, seasoned, and just melts in your mouth. It's a build your own burger place that only serves organic 100% grass fed beef. I got the standard burger. Homemade brioche bun, homemade pickles, house crafted American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, wild sauce, and I added sauteed wild mushrooms. YUM! YUM! I also got the small organic fries that they put a bit of salt and pepper on. It was perfect and perfectly crisp. It came with homemade ketchup too. For drink, I got the organic no sugar lemonade. I loved it! The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the deep fried pickles. I think they should have been brined a bit longer because they tasted more like cucumbers. Plus they were super salty. Besides this... Everything else was perfect and worth the price!

Truly one of the best "fast-casual" burgers I've ever had, the meat and flavor were great! The fries weren't my favorite and for me I'd prefer a different drink selection but I'd certainly come back for another burger it was deeeeeeelicious!

I was visiting Boulder for work and loved all the new foods that have popped up since my last trip there - particularly Wild Pastures! I LOVED the chicken burger on brioche with some tasty fries. They have tons of dipping sauces and everything is made super fresh. It was very easy to order and take my food to go. Items were well packaged and the food wasn't soggy when I got back to my hotel room. The chicken burger was super juicy and I tried the house wild sauce -so good! Plenty of seating if you're staying and loved to see all the environmentally-conscious utensils, etc.

There are plenty of Boulder jokes (aka the people's republic of Boulder...et al) And I must admit Wild Pastures Burger doesn't help....I mean grass fed tallow fries?? Yeah if your beef is grass fed it follows it's fat would be too! Keto Milkshakes??? Why don't you have a GLP-1 flavor or shot to throw in. I personally don't care for monk fruit so why not use whole milk and ice cream...sigh. The burgers and fries are great and helped me look past the other privileged items...and sure as heck beats supporting some mega fast food joint....so 4 stars there she be.

Grass-fed burgers and tallow fries have been right under our noses for years! So glad we gave it a try!

These are definitely some of the best burgers I've ever had. The ingredients were fresh. The french fries were cooked perfectly and seasoned beautifully. I also loved all the dipping sauces. Along with the fantastic food, customer service was impeccable.

We were craving burgers one night, so we decided to try this burger joint since they have grass-fed beef. What a disappointment. All of our burgers were so salty we couldn't finish them. The fries were probably the best of what we got--crispy, fresh, and not salty. As for the sauces we chose, they were all flavorless. Hard pass on the sauces if I come back here. Service wasn't that good either. Granted, I had an online order, but I've had much better service at other restaurants when getting take out. It also took me a while to let someone know I was there for an online order--not one person acknowledged me, not even the person who was looking right at me but was clearly trying to avoid eye contact. Sorry to say I can't recommend this burger joint.

Great tasting food with professional service. Ambience was relaxed and comfortable. Somewhat pricey but worth it.

Best burger. Great service. But I would suggest you go when you can sit outside. Otherwise inside it's just way too crowded and loud.

Great customer service. Relaxing atmosphere, inside/outside seating. Everything has unique taste, definitely worth a shot. Only negative- burger was slightly greasy.

Wow. We were craving a burger for lunch and was headed to snarfburger after complaining how there's not really many great burger spots apart from the boulder depot, basic local pubs & the chains on 29th street mall, when we decided to give this place a try instead. We were blown away. Listen, I eat and eat good all over the US & world, and I could not believe that this was one of the best burgers I've ever had. Not even for how quick it came out but the quality, the flavor, just WOW! I got carmelized onions & bacon as add ons to my burger and it probably didn't need it. I could tell it was amazing on its own. Home made cheese? Wtf! So good!!! I got the American and omg it was the best white American cheese I've had on a burger. Gluten free bun was actually really good and so was local Brioche. We got a large fry because we thought the small looked too small but wow they overflow on the fries! Would get a small next time. And try that jalapeño horseradish aioli! That blew our minds too! And the lemonade! For being such natural ingredients & cleverly using sweeteners found in the health food world, this place NAILS flavor. Best burger in boulder I've ever had. I literally never leave yelp reviews but was INSPIRED by this place - they deserve it! 10/10

Best hamburgers I have eaten in months, it is so good that I'm going to go back there today for lunch and also try the tallow fries that I've heard great reviews about. I ordered the Junior burger, one patty with mushrooms and Swiss cheese on a brioche bun, to die for! The beef is 100% grass, fed, organic it was the best! All the employees that work here, are absolutely wonderful I WOULD RECOMMEND

Service was awesome, cashier had great knowledge and food came out with speedy timing. The food was SPECTACULAR! Nothing better than eating a double cheese burger and leaving feeling better than when you came in. I would suggest a double if you like a larger amount of meat (3oz patties). Personally, the fries could use more salt, BUT there is a great self service salt/pepper station for those needs. For the knowledge and standard of food, the price of our food was so affordable.

Best burger spot I've maybe ever been to. Phenomenal quality and taste on every level. Price is reasonable. Location and parking are good. We LOVE this place.

Been a regular here for a couple of years now... always a good burger and never leaves me feeling slow and sluggish. Worth the price if you care about your health.

I don't know if it was just an off day, but everything we ordered was WILDLY over salted. Like--face puckering, couldn't finish the food level salty.

This place is amazing & I hope they expand to the south! The general premise is fast food made right. It's better for the environment and better for you. Seriously I don't think I've ever had a burger, fries, and shake NOT hurt my sensitive stomach! The burger was the perfect size and soo delicious. The French fries are cooked in beef fat I believe and were so salty and fantastic without dripping grease. We decided to go back for a milkshake, which doesn't have tons of additional sugar and this was unlike anything we've ever had before. It almost tasted like a frosty but better. Seriously can't speak highly enough about this place, it was awesome!

We arrived around 7pm on Saturday busy but good turn over not overly loud, clean and smelled amazing. The staff was awesome taking orders super friendly great sharing what they liked best o menu. easy to place orders loved the fresh and clean no sugar laden items. We order 2 grass fed burgers, large beef taro fries and fried pickles. With the following sauces herb garlic ranch, house sauce, ketchup, truffle hot sauce, house mayo, chimichurri mayo. Burger one grass fed patty on brioche bun w house made American cheese, w house fixings add one caramelized onion and pickled jalapeños. Burger two grass fed patty on brioche, w cheddar and bacon and lettuce onion pickles no tomato. The food came up within 7 mins of ordering enough time for us to grab a water and ice tea and take a seat and use bathroom. Bathrooms were clean and no trash on the floor or on counter to sink. Back to dining. Our burgers came out nicely packaged and limited paper waste, they were hot and juicy. First bite was heavenly. The meat is fresh tasty well seasoned nice crisp on edge but still good center not over or under cooked. The house made American cheese highly recommend great flavor profile melty perfect for a good juicy burger. The caramelized onion and pickled jalapeños perfect addition to burger. Great amount of pickles I probably would leave off tomato next time just didn't need it. It didn't even need all the sauce options it was god wo any sauces. Used a bit of yellow mustard but I would have been happy wo any sauces. This burger was so so good. Someone compare it to shake shack down street no way this burger was way bigger, such better quality ingredients hands down would come here before shake shack any day and price comparison same. Second burger great crispy delicious Smokey bacon, good sharp cheddar again we didn't use the sauce for burgers just didn't need it the burgers alone are outstanding. Fries or pickles ugh so hard to choose better. Beef taro fries just taste better the crunchy ones omg so good and dipped in any of these many sauces we choose all are great. I have to say their ketchup was bomb. I'm not a ketchup person but this ketchup is different hard to explain just get it for sure. It was a hard toss between the garlic herb ranch and the house sauce for dipping fries and pickles. Now to the fried pickles. If you LOVE fried pickles get these they are so thin homemade for sure. The brine does add extra saltiness but they are just so good if I could only pick one fries or pickles hands down winner pickles for sure. I personally loves them w garlic herb ranch but that ketchup I know weird but it just goes too. About sauces yellow mustard and house mayo meh it standard condiments. Try their other mentioned sauces you won't be disappointed and if you get the chicken you must get the truffle hot sauce that would go amazing on a chicken sandwich for sure. Overall what a great experience highly recommend you give them a try you will not be disappointed. I for sure will be back.

Visiting CO has left me pleasantly surprised with the amount of gluten-free restaurants. Boulder seems to be an entire city of Celiac's folks. The burger was delicious and just the right size. Caleb was friendly and quick to recommend a sauce (I'm not used to having lots of options when eating out!). The sparkling water dispenser is also something I haven't seen back home in CA. The vibe was relaxing, with a good playlist & clean interior. If this is what Colorado is like, I think I might have to move out here. I fear I'll get an itch for a good burger that I won't be able to scratch until I visit Wild Pastures again.

Good food, quality ingredients. Will definitely come back! Good ambience. Burgers and fries in beef tallow were great, fried pickles had some that wear over salty, would like the lemonade to not have stevia in it. The vanilla milkshake was good, no wipers flavor from the monk fruit.

**Wild Pastures Burger is amazing!** Their burgers are incredibly juicy, flavorful, and made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is super friendly. One of the best burger spots in town--highly recommend!

A healthier version of indulgent food. I would highly recommend this place for couples or families. It is tasty and affordable.

Man oh mannnnnn this place is tasty!!! Their burgers are perfectly juicy and you can tell everything is super high quality. The brioche buns are soft and delicious and the caramelized onions make the perfect simple addition to any burger. A lot of burgers make me feel bleh after eating them, but I always feel great after Wild Pastures. And their beef tallow fries are seriously my fav. BIG fan, need to come back and try their shakes and bone broths.

The burgers were good and so were the fries. The fried Zucchini wasn't great, it was too "floury", feels like they should work on that batter. Prices would be more than the standard fast food, but that's understandable this being sustainable food and all. I still think for a family of 5 we ended up paying a significant amount of money for dinner. I found that there's no need to go for a double burger, the regular one is just the right size. The double was too much and became messy. There are also alcoholic beverages options here, as far as I could see it's all cans.
