Is The Buff Restaurant Still Open? Food Paradise Update (Boulder, CO)

Food Paradise, Season 17, Episode 11

The Buff built its menu around loaded breakfast skillets, pecan caramel quesadillas, and discounted mimosas and Bloody Marys served in a casual dining room in downtown Boulder. Jacquie and Chris Meyer opened the restaurant in 1995, and it has since become a long-running local breakfast destination near the University of Colorado campus. According to Yelp, the restaurant's listing was updated in September 2026 with more than 2,000 reviews and no closure notice, and OpenTable's listing, also updated in 2026, shows the restaurant taking reservations for breakfast, lunch, and brunch service. Together the two current listings indicate The Buff continues to operate at its longtime Canyon Boulevard address.
