    2 Blackened Cod + Gilroy Garlic Fries
    Ruth A.

    We decided to try Brass Tap again tonight for dinner. We have been here once before about 3 years ago and it was ok, nothing too memorable - nothing horrible. Food was ok. So, we thought - why not, it's close- let's go and see if we like it better this time. Let's start with the positives. We arrived shortly after 5pm and the place was pretty empty so we were seated right away. The server was friendly and immediately took our drink orders. She was attentive and service was fast. No complaints with her service at all. It seemed pretty chill and low key. A few people trickled in but nothing crazy for a Saturday night. We ordered the pretzel appetizer and I was pleasantly surprised. The color of the pretzel had me fooled. It was pretty dark in color which usually indicates overdone and hard so when it was amazingly soft inside - wow! So good! We loved the mustard and cheese sauce that came with it. My husband and son ordered a burger and said they were tasty, my other son ordered the chicken strips and said they were good. Negative for the meal, I ordered the blackened cod tacos and subbed the chips and salsa for the Gilroy Garlic Fries. I was very excited for the garlic fries since we are originally from that area and are very knowledgeable about the famous Gilroy Garlic Festival and all things Garlic. Here's where this dish wasn't exciting - the tacos were pretty bland. I took the coleslaw from my son's chicken tenders to try and add more flavor and make the taco more palatable. I only ate 1 of the 2 because there really was just zero flavor. The fries were probably an even greater disappointment. In the center, was a very small amount of cheese and maybe garlic? It had virtually zero garlic taste - I was searching for it. It was a sad version of garlic fries. I would not order that again unless they were improved upon. I went back and forth on 3 stars versus 4 stars because while service was great and fast, I can't confidently say I'd recommend it to someone. I may say it's a great place to chill for a beer and an appetizer but definitely NOT a meal. I think if your expectations are to stick with the appetizer list then you're probably going to like it. They have a large beer selection and plenty of screens for your favorite games.

    HH Chicken Quesadilla ($9)

    With a day long happy hour, decent bar food, and a large selection of beers on tap, this location of the Brass Tap in Allen, Texas is a good place for drinks with friends, or in our case, a celebratory 'turned 21' beer with my nephew. The Brass Tap was founded in Florida in 2008, with 50 locations across 12 states. This location in Allen opened in 2015. Our group of six arrived for lunch on a weekday, and it wasn't very crowded inside. The one bartender was doing all of the front of house chores. He was very good, doing the easy customer interaction that appears to be simple but actually isn't that common. Waters were gotten for the table, and he was receptive to our offer of help. We ordered a selection of most things on the shareable bar menu (many of them Happy Hour prices): including pepperoni pizza, boom boom shrimp, mac 'n cheese, onion rings, pretzel, plain cheese burger with fries, brisket taco platter, chicken quesadilla, and chicken wings. Everything was OK to good, with me really liking the crispiness of the well fried french fries and the well-filled quesadilla. I did get to share a couple of drinks with my nephew including a pint of Paulaner ($7.25) and HH drink of the week (a bourbon sour mix for $7). A cool feature at a Brass Tap is their leader board: a Brew Crew Hall of Brews where patrons that have drunk at least 100 different beers at this location get their name listed.

    We are regulars here, my go to for a cold draft beer any time. Huge selection and often a $1 off some draft if you get here early enough on week days. This particular location has the best Impossible burger anywhere. Legit. Recently this location changed their fries. Their new freezer bag fries suck big time. They have good bar food other wise. My family love coming here, as do my friends and colleagues. Srsly we come here so often my credit card hurts. Service is not amazing but as long as you know what to expect it's fine. It's not bad, just think more European in nature. :) They have many events here, and keg taps. Just the closest thing to a bar we have in Allen. It's my place and I love it.

    I've been coming here off and on for about 3 years. Service has alerts been consistent. Amazing. I have my regular spot but when I make it here I am never disappointed. I sit at the bar and 3.5 seconds later the friendliest bartender is ready to take care of my needs. Need a recommendation? ASK. I have not been disappointed with the knowledge. Even when it comes to food. Your people know what they like. I've had various items of the menu and again I have not been disappointed. Regardless of what I order I'm texting my friends they have to try "this" the next time they make it out. Honestly, consistency is a hard thing to find. They are achieving it at this location. I'm not sure if it's training or you're just hiring the right people. I'm a people watcher and your bartenders know hire to read their clientele. Friendly. Ready to start a conversation. WELCOMING. If you just want to sit at the bar and exist, they make me want to come back. That VIBE is there. As for price it what you spend? Listen if you're putting a price on a good time, stay home. Maybe a bit heavier in the wallet, but you can't really put a price on it when you find what you like and get what you want.

    Mac n Cheese Bites

    Place is really over priced. A tiny basket of mac'n cheese bites is $8.50. Little over a dollar for each bite. See photo for reference. Place also refuses to have Bud Light in their inventory. May be a political stance.

    October events

    They have a HUGE selection of beers here, on tap on bottles! Everything from Lagers to stouts, IPA's, wheats and of course for October and Oktoberfest! Food is absolutely delicious and they have a ton of TV's on every wall!! Plenty of seating and the ambiance is perfect!

    CHOCOLATE CHIP LAVA COOKIE & ICE CREAM
    Beryl D.

    Came here last weekend with family. We truly enjoyed ourselves. The food was delicious. I got the quesadilla burger and my sis and bro-in-law got the sliders. For dessert, we got the chocolate chip lava cookie. Soooo good. Staff was super sweet, efficient and helpful. Ambiance is chill. Definitely will go back.

    I was pleasantly surprised by Brass Tap. Have never been and seen a bunch of locations around DWF so decided to stop in for a drink. And my oh my! A beer drinker would be in love. They have too many taps to even count of mostly craft beer and a nice range of local/Texas breweries. They are also a full service bar with your expected liquors and domestic beer. Bar area has lots of seating and so does the main dining with a server as well. I did not try any food and just had a liquid lunch but everyone who ordered at the bar (a pizza and a salad) cleared their plates. Music was a good level and bathrooms were clean. ONLY 2 complaints from my visit is the parking lot is a little small (but there are spot just further down the strip) and the windows are so tinted I couldn't tell if they were open becuase no sign was on.

    This was a great spot to hang out with friends. I love that they have so many draft beers to choose from. Their bar food is yummy and super quick. I couldn't believe how fast the kitchen was sending our food out.
