Colorado Boy Pizzeria & Brewery — Restaurant in Montrose

This used to be a great place, absolutely exceptional! My family and friends have eaten there a million times) No more! The food isn't quite what it used to be, the beer is still excellent and the food is still pretty good. But, the service is tyrannical / ridiculous, I'll explain. We were a party of 9, only 5 arrived immediately. The place was almost empty but they refused to seat us (in spite of 3 young hungry children, it was 2 and they'd had no lunch yet due to getting a Christmas tree at the covered bridge, yes we're pure Montrose), this was immaterial to the purple haired (we'll just call her Rainbow Bright) waitress who didn't care that we would order drinks for ourselves and food for the kids right away. Fortunately the manager (the tall, pretty one) has brains, recognized us from our constant patronage, and how ridiculous it is to have a nearly empty restaurant and not seat a whole family, and she seated us. The bill for 9, a little over $20.00 per person (this includes the kids)(hey we enjoy going out with our friends, the bill was no problem), the waitress on the other hand, tells my wife when she asks for a box for the left over pizza, "we care about the environment" and gave her aluminum foil (I guess she doesn't know how many tons of earth are destroyed and chemically processed for each pound of aluminum which is not renewable, but cardboard is). What? She also continuously tried to take plates that we were still eating from. We've been there so many times. We won't make that...

The service at this place is terrible the majority of the time. Most recently I ordered a spinach salad that was very dry and bland, so I asked for just a couple of teaspoons of the pesto dressing, and they insisted on charging me for a full side of salad dressing. I got there for lunch about 30 minutes after the restaurant had opened for business. The entrance to their two restrooms is right next to their open kitchen. As soon as I opened the door, the stench of urine hit me full force. The restrooms were full of caked on feces and smelled really bad. This was disturbing in and of itself but especially so since the restrooms are right next to their open kitchen. When I complained to the General Manager about being charged extra for just a teeny tiny bit of extra dressing to doctor up a dry and flavorless salad and about the restrooms, her response was to suggest that Colorado Boy was really just not the restaurant for me. She claimed that she personally had scrubbed both restrooms just before opening for lunch, but, given the condition of both bathrooms just 30 minutes after opening for the day, I found that...

I don't drink so maybe my review might not be appropriate for this place. Seems like the pizza is more of an after thought here. Hopefully this is not the best pizza in town. The crust was bland, the sauce was unremarkable and the service was a little slow. So, what's good about it? Hmm, the decor on the inside was hipster-ish, if you like that sort of thing. If you like beer, there appears to be a lot of craft brews that are available. They also have wine and cocktails. Also, my pizza came out on a plate -- which is good -- the bill came in a very old book that was probably published in the 40's or something. That's kind of creative I guess. If I'm being honest, the next time I come through here, I probably won't pick this place to eat at for lunch but if a lot of friends wanted to eat here, for the sake of civility, I would probably come back for that. It's not terrible and a lot of other people seem to like it, but for me, it was a little disappointing and underwhelming. Would like to give it 2 stars but I can't seem to fairly justify that, so I'll...
