    Beer list
    Judi B.

    I always look forward to eating at the Taphouse as I love the rotating beer list. This was a good night, as they brought back my favorite, Salty Crew, which I eagerly ordered. Our server was very friendly and eager to make us happy. My beer came over with a perfectly crafted foam top and that delicious flavor I crave. We quickly ordered and food came out unexpectedly fast. Hubby ordered the fish and chips, which came out piping hot...so much so, that he burnt his tongue. Fries were perfectly cooked and the tarter sauce was delicious. Brother ordered the Carolina BBQ sandwich and thought the pork to be nicely flavored, though not a true Carolina bbq (he lived in the Carolinas), tender and overall a great meal. I ordered the Prime Rib dip, which is outside the norm for me, but came highly recommended by a friend. I was hugely disappointed as the prime rib was so overcooked, it was chewy, dry and not at all what I expected. The cheese and horsey sauce saved the day, and of course, me having to drown the bites in the au jus. I wanted to give this dining experience three stars, but the beer and everyone else's meals were great for them, so that bumped this to a four star rating.

    Breakfast menu
    Jenn C.

    Met up with some friends for lunch. We were pleasantly surprised to find they did brunch on the weekends. Two of us got breakfast and the other two got lunch, along with some snacks. Chips and guacamole and jalapeno poppers to start. The guacamole was great, the chips were definitely on the stale side. The jalapeno poppers were very good, not spicy and the bacon was crispy. $4 bloody Mary's were fine. On the spicy side, no celery, olives, or salt rim and exactly what I'd expect for $4. Great beer list, good selection of wines and a full bar. Service was very friendly and prompt. We visited for a while and didn't feel rushed at all. Everyone loved what they ordered. Their fries were excellent! I got the prime rib dip. Could have used either more seasoning or Horseradish sauce. It was hot and very cheesy. Big portion size. Lots of tvs with various sports on them all. Great looking patio, but it's mid January and they didn't have the heaters on when we were seated so we had a table inside. The menu we got was a bit smaller than what is online. I was really wanting to try the fish and chips or the tacos with a melted cheese shell, but neither were on the menus we got.

    Club Sandwich
    Ayse T.

    Went with some friends and was greatly impressed with the food! Got the club sandwich and it was super delicious. The rosemary focaccia bread was a great touch. Was a nice vibe. Can't speak to the drinks but all my friends enjoyed their food too!

    Gluten free burger with sweet potato fries
    Sara G.

    The burgers are amazing! The normal buns are great, the gluten free buns are ok. Very fragile. They are a very biscuit-y texture. Taste is fine, just kinda hard to eat with. They fall apart. We are always seated very quickly and drinks come fast! They do get quite busy, so plan accordingly if you plan on going during sports! It is a sports bar! They have lots of tables, a pretty good sized bar and an outdoor seating section that is closed in and has heaters.

    Chicken Tacos  *5/5 Stars
    Sophie V.

    This was a good date night place. Love the fresh new feel inside. All the servers were young and looked like they were having a good time working there. I had a Taphouse Burger with Cheese and No Bun and a Side Salad with Ranch. 5/5 Stars My husband had their Chicken Tacos and he said it was absolutely delicious! 5/5 Stars We were still hungry so we shared their Nacho Fries and they were amazing as well! 4/5 Stars All our food was really great! Our server was very kind but we did have to get her attention a few times. Not a big deal though! It would have been hard to bring our young kids here to eat, service isn't quick enough but for date night this place is great! Thank you Taphouse!

    Patio area
    Susi G.

    We had a party of apx 30 people at the TAP HOUSE. They could not have been more accommodating, they had the back area set up for us, table chairs and heaters. RACHEL and SAVANNA were our servers. There were 2 of them and 30 of us. We never waited for a drink, and if we asked for anything we had it right away. The most amazing thing was the food! All the food was brought out in a timely matter, and I watched, not one person had an issue with their meal. I highly recommend TAP HOUSE for a party or just a bite to eat!

We have tried most everything on the menu and have not had anything we don't like. If you try the zombie chick wings...they are HOT HOT! All of the wings are huge and come with tons of toppings! The burgers are all amazing and made with local middleton made bread. The pretzel is a bit spendy but comes with a pound of brats too so it is superrrrr filling! If you've never had tater kegs before...get them!!!! They are my go to carby-cheesy fix! Update! Any burger can be swapped out for a grilled or breaded chicken patty! The breaded is AMAZING!

They have the virtual juke box and decided to spend the money to play music that we enjoyed. We bought 30 total credit which is equivalent to about 15 songs. About 5 five songs in one of the bartenders came up to us and asked that if we were playing music. We told her yes we bought the credits and put songs on there she told us that if we kept playing "heavy metal" she would skip our songs and that we should be more mindful of the people around us because they had their summer kick off (started at 6). She didn't skip any of the songs and was actually singing the songs we were playing. The second time she came and talked to us she told us that she was skipping all of our songs. I tried speaking to her respectful stating that it was a first come first service basis and if a customer wanted to play a song they could add it to the list and/or pay the additional charge to move it to the top of the list. She then replies, "sure if you want to be dick about it." Word of advice if you're having an event and want certain music to be played don't give the consumer the ability to pick the songs. I will not be returning and don't recommend anyone visiting this establishment.

With its varied menu and delicious happy hour selection this place could be a favorite for a wide variety of the local population. Classy, welcoming with engaging staff. While the selections of taps are diverse and smart for diners, it is the kitchen that is the real star here. We tried the Happy Hour fare (3-5 pm). See the pics for details. We also tried the Kobe sliders, but they fell short of the Chicken Sliders with their tender, juicy cuts of breast. The lineup of drinks are on full display at the bar and with scannable menus. This is a solid place for bringing friends or family for a gathering - yes, like the name suggests "Common". If anyone in your group cannot find a drink and meal to their liking, then you need to replace that person from your social circle or family. 2 hour free parking directly behind the building makes this location much better than the downtown businesses in the liberal ghetto of Boise where they will soon tax the air you breathe. Here, the pricing will not require you to take out a second mortgage as the Boise elites would have you do for eating in their downtown. It is no surprise that more quality dining places are opening in cities like Eagle, Caldwell, Nampa and Meridian where Idahoans can enjoy life.

Maybe they have something they are known for and we missed something? Either way, too many options out there to ever try again. It was a miss for us. The set up and ambiance was nice and they were very busy so people must like it. We sat at the bar and service was fine.
