Inside we were seated immediately and the booths were very comfortable. Service was great. Very attentive staff. The waitress suggested we try the "award winning" Mac and cheese. It was seriously delicious! It has huge chunks of bacon in it, with a ritz cracker crumble on top... Highly recommend it, as it was our fav part of the meal! My son and I both had a bacon cheddar burger with fries. It's served with candied bacon on a pretzel bun. Very good. My husband had the Philly cheese steak and Cajun fries. Large portions and everything was good.

We walked in through the front and into the bar but really weren't sure where we could sit. We saw a patio and asked if we could sit out there. Had to ask the people playing darts to pause as the path to the door was in the throwing zone. There were no menus except for a board inside which we hadn't seen while walking through. The staff kindly told us what they offered. Very limited choices and we all got cheese burgers. Portion was good but all the burgers ended up VERY well done and a bit dry. We realized we never specified how we wanted them cooked but were never asked either. Paying at the bar meant walking back through the dart game.

Local Tap Craft Kitchen and Ale House in El Paso, Illinois, has quickly become a culinary standout…read moresince its 2022 opening, blending community roots with inventive Midwest flavors. 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.

Went here for the all-you-can-eat Friday night fish fry. Ambiance is definitely small town bar and…read moregrill. Lots of locals, but staff was very friendly and we were served pretty promptly. The fish meal included a salad bar and fries. I rarely see a salad bar offered ANYWHERE anymore; it wasn't much, but it was good. The fish and fries were decent... you have the option on walleye, cod, or a mix. The initial serving is 4 pieces of fish. I opted to do the mix (2 of each). Definitely liked the walleye best. The cod was decent, but also a bit more chewy that the walleye. The fish wasn't quite as flaky as I would have liked, so not sure if it was the quality of the filets or how they were cooked. Nonetheless, the meal was good and reasonably priced for an all-you-can-eat. It was a bit out of the way for us, so not sure I would make the longer trip for the fish, but it was definitely worth the try.
