Always been good since I was in college. Gluten free bread is tolerable. Dont know about the gluten bread now that they switched bakers. The Bacon Cheeseburger Hoagie is to die for

I really REALLY wish this place was in Denver or at least closer so I can go more often. I love Half Fast. They are one of my favorite sub shops of all time. With over 100+ sub choices you cannot go wrong. We walked in pretty much right after they opened and were greeted by two very nice gentleman. They were helpful with sub suggestions. Getting me out of my comfort zone of the Godfather. I actually tried something new this last time and although I wouldn't get it again, I still enjoyed the sandwich. I am glad he talked me in to trying something different. I went with the Albuquerque turkey. The flavors were awesome, the turkey was really good but the salsa is what threw me off. It was just weird to me. otherwise, if you like spicy, this is a great sub for you. I didn't expect the kick it came with. Also, there is something to be said about getting your own pitcher of margarita or strong island iced tea. Those things are fun! I can't get enough of this place and can't wait to go back again and again.

I've been to this place many times while living in Boulder for the past eight years, and never once had it disappointed! I adore their BLT (though I can't remember the name they have for that sandwich) and it's always cooked to perfection. And their drinks are great too!

I love half fast. When I was going to school at CU, I'd eat half fast once or twice a week. In the decades since, I always try to get a sandwich there whenever I'm in town. The atmosphere is pretty chill. You order at the cashier, they give you a card, and you grab a table. Staff is always friendly and super helpful. Plenty of indoor space with a few TVs, and a fenced-in outdoor area that can accommodate about 20 people. The bathrooms are limited capacity and not the best, but usable and get the job done. Complimentary water cups available at the soda fountain. For drinks they have the standard soda fountain and selection of local beers and specialty bottled drinks. Half fast is also known for their hard liquor drinks. Not going to be the best top-shelf, but very strong, sweet, and delicious. You can get them in pitchers too, with fun names. My favorites are the slurricane and the strong island iced tea. Obviously gets subs at half fast subs. Maybe it's only because of the name, but I always feel like they really are half fast. I have my own standard rotation of sandwiches that I love: torpedo, dagwood's dream, ba-donk-a-donk, the Lou, the gobbler, and baba booey. If you like some pickled spicy goodness, then go for ba-donk-a-donk, which has chicago hot peppers in it. If you want something salty and Italian, then torpedo. The olives in it just send it over the top for me. Want a bit of variety? Dagwood's dream, baba booey, or the half fast sub. Or just explore the menu over many, many visits like I did. Each sandwich is described pretty well on their massive menu board. And finally, sandwiches come on white or wheat (I always go for white), and they come in 4", 7", or 14". For the longest time it was just 7" and 14", but I guess they decided to include 4" because I guess sometimes people just want a mini half fast snack. Nothing wrong with that! Larger sizes, as one would expect, are progressively better value per dollar.
