The place is quite big, if you see a full parking lot, don't worry, between the large bar, restaurant area and patio, you will find a place to sit. We went for Taco Tuesday. All of the food is great! The quesadilla had a lot of cheese and chicken, his taco's were as full as you could get them. Just because it says Taco Tuesday does not mean they only serve tacos. They have a great selection of Mexican food on Tuesdays. It was hard for me to choose, but I finally decided on a quesadilla for $9.50 and added rice and beans for $1 each. My husband chose the taco place for $10. Sour cream is an extra $1, salsa $.75. Bailey our server was great, she was spot on. Every employee greeted you with a smile and a hello. It is a nice atmosphere here, very friendly. Upon leaving, there were a couple at the bar that said goodbye and to have a nice night and chatted with us for a little bit. I am thinking they are regulars, It is so nice to have people do that and you never saw them before. Anyway, while we were there someone ordered spaghetti and meatballs, that is something I want to get from there. I almost asked if I could get a picture. 3 good size meatballs. We will definitely be back. Side note, we always go out early to avoid crowds and wait times. We were there around 4:30ish.

Only thing to be aware of is the afternoon sun can make this patio in the mall parking lot a bit hot. I had the Sweet Thai Chili Salmon Bowl. The combination of sweet and spicy really made this a tasty dish. Only downside was the amount of salmon. If it was 3oz that was a lot. If I had been starving I would have been disappointed in the portion size. Anyway, good food and good location means I'll be back for sure.

We were there on a Saturday night and while we weren't the only people there it was far from busy. The service was friendly and attentive. The dining room is casual with a view of the beer tanks. Basically what you would expect at a craft brewery. The menu had the basics - appetizers, soups, salads, burgers and sandwiches. They also make pizza and calzones and some other main course dishes like fish and chips. We ordered the cheese curds as an appetizer. My husband ordered a sandwich and I ordered the boneless wings. For drinks my husband ordered a ginger beer and I ordered Diet Coke. The check before tip was $62. Normally I'd be okay with that but I thought it was a lot given the quality of the food. The cheese curds and boneless chicken wings seemed like items from a restaurant supply place that they fried up. Unfortunately next time we are in the area we'll go somewhere else. A fast food restaurant would have given us the same quality food for a fraction of the price.

This place was much better many years ago, like 10. This was the first time in maybe 3-4 years (due…read moreto the same issues) and they had a buy a beer get 1 free in a local rag, OK. So the staff is challenged in many ways. I ordered a personal pepperoni/sausage pizza and it was missing the sausage. The bartender who could not leave her phone alone did not seem to care so I asked did the cook make a mistake and she replied she did not hear me say sausage. She offered to remake it and I said no. The crust is crap and it was over cooked. Others have said the same. I was watching drag racing (auto drag racing) on the main TV in front of me and another server changed the channel. I said what are doing?! She smiled and said Bingo Tuesday, 7pm. It was 6:40pm. So for 40 minutes it was a static photo. I moved to watch it on a smaller crappy TV. She walked over and kissed her, I assume, physically, gravitationaly challenged lover. Asked to cash out. Prior to walking there I checked the online menu, typical bar food but I had a taste for pizza. Online a personal two topping was $10 and I was charged $12. She looked online and adjusted the price for me. This is not the first time I came across the buy-1-get-1 beer coupon and if another comes along I will pass.

It is unfortunate that once again I cannot give a better review, I really wanted to…read more After many years of hiatus due to very crappy service and a horrible co-owner, we decided to go back to The Tap Room. Ryan bought out his partner so I figured give them another try. We did get fried pickles on each of our sandwiches, I got seasoned fries ( I would say battered, but I didn't taste any seasoning), and he got tots. My husband's burger was good, the server was not doing well this morning due to being over zealous last night with alcohol and she never asked how he wanted his burger, pink or no pink. It came out no pink, but it was not dry and was good. The burger is supposed to come with lettuce, tomato and onion. I had a BLT, well I had a BL, they did not have tomato. I was not told this by our server, when the sandwich came I noticed no tomato and I asked the other server and she said they were out of tomatoes. I told her I wish I would have known as I would have ordered something else. No offer of a discount, no offer of ordering something else, no I am sorry. She then told our server that they are out of tomatoes, well they are not out as they ran out, the owner said they are too expensive so he is not buying them. SHEET! A BLT has very few ingredients and tomato is one of the main ingredients. Not having tomato on a burger is a little different than not having tomato on a BLT. If you do are not buying ingredients, all of your staff needs to know an you need to let the customer know before the order comes out without the ingredients. Disappointed to say the least. I will give them one more try as we are really trying to shop local and support SM businesses. They do have a brunch on Saturday and Sunday, I did not get a picture of the 4 breakfast items, but you can order anything on the menu.

I love all the air plants they have and the dark interior really does make it more of a "classy dive" as their name suggests. We came here for a Sunday lunch and to catch the Brewers game. They had a three dollar special on domestics when we went, which was cool. Our server was nice and our orders came out promptly. The food was absolutely delicious. I was blown away by it actually. When I go to dive bars, I don't have the highest expectations for the food because usually the food is mediocre. However, at this bar, it really blew me away. I had the ODB smashburger with regular fries. The burger was juicy and flavorful with such a fluffy, soft bun. I love that they put crispy onion straws in it for a little crunch. The fries are steak fries. They had some beer batter type of coating that made them so crispy and yummy. I'm glad I stumbled upon this place. I look forward to coming back to catch another game and eat their delicious food!
