The sourdough bread and butter were exceptionally good as was the hamachi crudo with coconut milk and flavored herbal oil. The lamb appetizer was perfectly cooked although I'd have traded in the pomegranate molasses component for something not as sweet. I ordered the ribeye with beef tallow fries. Both were very flavorful although a little heavy on salt. My companion ordered the sea bass, which was very very good and we wound up splitting a slice of a fruit tart (also excellent). I'm taking a star off for heavy-handed salting but I'd definitely go back. The place definitely has ambience and is located on historic Rte 66. Nice town too

Fried to perfection and so much flavor and just fell apart I dropped 2 pieces on my pants. I got 2 Yuengling draft beers and they came out cold and just when I needed them.

Owned and Managed by Aaron Thomas with his really great team. This family-friendly alehouse prioritizes local partnerships and menu creativity, earning its place as a surprise standout in central Illinois' dining scene. Culinary Highlights The menu shines with elevated bar classics, including Ropp Jersey Cheese curds sourced from Normal, Illinois. ~a crispy, creamy nod to regional agriculture.  Wings tossed in bourbon-Sriracha glaze and lemon-pepper buffalo rub draw regulars, while the Italian beef sandwich, paired with sweet potato fries and maple mayo, offers a sweet-savory twist. The showstopper is the custom steak-blend burger: certified Angus beef smashed on a brioche bun, smothered in American cheese, and served with loaded fries-a "step above" typical pub fare. Surprise Standout Culinary Chronicles' sleeper hit is the maple mayo dip, a sweet-smoky companion to crispy sweet potato fries. While rumors swirl about its cult following, the dip exemplifies The Local Tap's knack for balancing familiarity with innovation. Community and Craft True to its name, the restaurant champions local breweries such as White Oak, Riggs Beer Company, and Casper Brewing. Also, fostering a patio-to-indoor vibe that's equally suited for family dinners or friend gatherings. Weekly cocktail features, like the raspberry Long Island iced tea and barrel-aged Old Fashioned, underscore their bar program's versatility. With its commitment to Midwestern flavors, community ties, and dishes that surprise even seasoned foodies, The Local Tap is a destination worth the drive. As Osborn and Thomas expand their culinary playbook-including this week's chicken cordon bleu ciabatta with white wine cream sauce-the restaurant solidifies its role as El Paso's flavorful heartbeat.
