Known for decades as the go-to spot for the best burger in Boulder, The Sink had a hunger to craft something equally memorable—a dish that would leave a mark on taste buds and stand out amidst its legendary offerings.

If you’ve ever been into The Sink, you’ve walked underneath Llloyd Kavich’s “Sinkstine Chapel” on the ceiling of the entryway. This brilliant re-creation of Michelangelo’s “The Creation of Man” shows God handing a Sinkburger to Adam and perhaps some Sink Rats. The Sinkburger is a classic hamburger made with shredded American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, and The Sink’s famous hickory sauce.
At The Sink, we have a kitchen where everybody has the chance to express their culinary creativeness.
The Sink has been successful for almost a hundred years because of teamwork and not just one person. We’re a family.
The Sink is known for amazing pizzas and the best burgers in Boulder, including delicious gluten-free and vegetarian options. From our famous Cowboy Reuben to the crowd favorite Texas Onion Straw Burger (made famous on Diners, Drives and Dives), The Sink kitchen is always creating new plates with bold flavors, including weekly specials.
Our menu is comprised of old favorites and new takes on what our customers love. Featuring grass-fed beef from Caribou Ranch in Nederland, locally baked organic bread and seasonal local produce.
Here at The Sink, we love beef – our SinkBurgers are the stuff of legend! We also love the environment; we’ve been running on 100% wind power since 2006 and have long used low-flow water fixtures and energy efficient lighting. To further our efforts, we’re going to be working on a new ‘Blended Burger’ over the next few weeks that we plan on offering to our customers.
Spoon University, a website geared towards college students that promotes recipes and restaurant guides for college campuses and tows across the country, has named The Sink the #5 Best Burger Joint in College Towns Across America! We landed at #5 out of 50 spots on the list, and we couldn’t be more excited.
Grilling over an open flame evokes all your senses unlike anything else I know of. The sound of the sizzle as the red hot flame jumps up to greet your offering, promising a perfect seer, never gets old. Soon, the aroma of your marinade mingling with the intense heat of the grill permeates the yard…hungry yet?
