Continuing our journey throughout the beautiful state of Colorado, we find ourselves in the town of Golden. Not only is the town beautiful, but for those of us who do not know, Golden is home of the Coors Brewery. Even though we did not get to enjoy a tour of the brewery, we did get to check out and wade into the river that flows through it and is an important ingredient in the beer. It was pleasant to see the people sunbathing, wading, and even tubing down the river as they enjoy a late summer day but on a personal note, Coors Banquet(nicknamed "Yellowjackets" on a certain popular TV show) happens to be 1 of Brad's favorite all time beers so it made it extra special to him.
Moving on...after enjoying a nice part of the day down by the mountain stream, it was time to get some lunch which brings us to the main part of this post: Bob's Atomic Burgers. Now, this is not to be confused with the hit animated TV sitcom of: Bob's Burgers...2 separate things.
The only thing negative that we can really say about this place is that when it is busy, there is not much room to move around in there. However, this should prove how much business this place gets and they do have outside patio seating, to be fair.
With the minor negative out of the way, let us focus on all the positive. It is for sure an unique restaurant experience and a fun place to visit. It has interesting art work in the restaurant which includes a mural displaying anything from Indiana Jones waiting in line to get in to Captain Jack Sparrow walking out with his order next to the DeLorean. The staff is laid back, friendly, and willing to help with anything they can. Instead of giving you a "number" to be called for your order, they give you celebrity names to call out which is a fun way of doing things. The food is not overly priced and the burgers are quite tasty. Our favorite feature of this establishment would probably be the fact that you fill out a custom order "sleeve" for your burger so it is done YOUR way. For instance, if the burger is not to your liking, it would be part to blame for yourself not filling out the sleeve properly. Hard to mess up an order when you are able to customize it to exactly what you want!
Final Thoughts: This place is a "hole in the wall" kind of place, not a chain that we are aware of. For us, these places can be treasure but for some people, they would rather stick to the big chain places that they know. We highly recommend trying this place out at least once if you want a different kind of restaurant experience. We look forward to visiting Bob's Atomic Burgers again after we dip our toes into the fresh waters of the mountain stream flowing beautifully wild throughout the town of Golden, Colorado...of course ;)
