The food was excellent and the service was superb! The ambiance was absolutely beautiful too!

Jessica the manager as well as the bartender Philip were accommodating. However tarra was dismissive not busy behind the bar, ignoring anyone that she assumed had no money. Just for simple strategy structure and actual common sense not to read a book by its cover. The mac & cheese brisket as well as boom boom shrimp with ranch good. All in all not well received service wise. read more

Went to this restaurant for dinner with a couple of coworkers. This place has an impressive beer menu. I had the Community Funnel Cake Ale which had powdered sugar on the rim, this beer tasted just like a funnel cake. For my meal I tried the Asian BBQ Crispy Chicken sandwich which had so much flavor with their sauce, slaw and jalapeños. In stead of the french fries I upgraded to the crispy Brussels sprouts which were very good. I will say the service was very slow and my coworkers meals weren't all served at the same time which was a slight disappointment. The restaurant itself boasts many TV's playing various sports games and the scenery of the nearby lake is pretty. read more

One of our favorite spots was jam packed busy tonight, so we switched things up and headed over to The Brass Tap just down the way and let me tell you... we were NOT disappointed. Honestly, at first we were a bit disheartened because every drink we tried to order they were out of (probably due to St. Patrick's Day) and although I really wanted to try the gluten friendly beer, I was happy to snag a smoked old fashioned instead... it was absolutely delicious! We ordered the loaded fries with brisket to eat as well as the buffalo cauliflower. Both had me craving more and will be the reason we go back!! The fries had a delicious white queso and brisket on them while the cauliflower was the best part of the entire evening. I'll be thinking about those for a while! They also very clearly have a lot of places to sit and hang with friends, fun things to do like pool or shuffleboard, and a whole slew of events they put on (Tonight was going to be a DJ if we had stayed long enough)! Overall we were pretty impressed and fully plan on being back! read more

Service was horrible in the beginning, stepped in and a guy greeted us and said it was open seating. We proceeded to go sit on the patio. After sitting here for nearly 20 mins, I was finally able to wave down a server and expressed our frustration in no one tending to us. People that showed up after were tended to before us. She apologized and I proceeded to let her know that we would go ahead and place our full order. Food was blah.. typical bar food. She helped this establishment out getting 2 stars from me. Otherwise it would've been zero. read more

Ordered boneless wings - 10 of them for $20 - That's $2 a boneless wing. The issue lies in the size of them. These are smaller nuggets - it's not worth it. read more

Passing through town, we stopped here to grab food. I have my dogs and it was too cold to sit outside luckily we got Jessica to help us with our order. We decided to do takeout and she handled our food order was so sweet with my dogs. Thank you jessica for helping us get some food quickly and handling the order perfectly. We appreciate it! read more

I ordered take out- what a mistake- the 'fish' was burnt and the coleslaw was warm- like almost hot (notice color next to tater tots). The chicken wrap was so soggy on the bottom (hard to depict from picture but you see the slime), the insides completely fell out but the unsightly goo was stomach turning. How the kitchen could let anything like those two things get past their doors is beyond comprehension. Who was the chef on 2/25 PM?? read more

I really hate giving bad reviews, like REALLY hate it, especially when I think people are doing the best they can but I can't in good faith say our experience was ok. I'll just say that this place has a lot of potential and I hope they were having an off day. We don't live in Rockwall and loved the location of this place. It provided a lot for our girls to do after we ate. I also love any restaurant which welcomes dogs! We didn't have ours with us, but she would have loved it. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside. There wasn't a hostess so we were told to sit wherever. The outside had some games so our girls and their friends were able to play Jenga while we waited for food - which was good because it took awhile for our food to arrive. When we first got there the outside was crowded with a few large groups. There was only one server so he was doing the best he could. After being there for about 30 mins another server took over for him and took our drink order. It took awhile for us to get waters, we had to ask a couple of times. My husband and I both ordered bartender creations for drinks which was on a separate menu and something I highly recommend. The food was good overall, but one the people in our party said their fries were cold and after 15 mins and multiple asks we never received them. She did receive a $10 gift card to use towards her meal. She also asked our server for silverware and instead of bringing it for everyone, he only brought it for her so we had to ask someone else to get silverware for the table. We also asked him for something and ended up having to go to the bar to get it. As we were checking out I could hear the table next to us asking someone who was walking by if they could be helped because they had been there for 30 mins and no one had come to their table. The server was nice and helped immediately, but it was obvious they were struggling to adequately serve everyone. read more

Addison was a great server! She took my order right away and then checked on me twice which was not too much and not too little! Great job Addison ... it is her 2nd day here! read more

Drinks are not consistent. Service with certain servers is lacking, having to wait long for them to return. Also other customers standing in front of table, completely blocking our view, I mentioned it to server and nothing was done. Long time patron but certainly will not return. They need to better monitor these types of issues so as not to have customers get in arguments. Overall, just lacking and no longer enjoy going there read more

Great place to sit outside and have some drinks. Oh and the peperroni pizza was yummy!

As both a customer and a performer in the local scene, I have to call this out: The Brass Tap is one of the most disappointing venues I've encountered. Let's start with the basics -- they don't pay their performers. There's no appreciation for the time, effort, or draw that live entertainers bring in. No follow-through, no respect, and no real accountability. It's tough enough being a working performer without having to chase down what's owed, or worse, be completely disregarded. Beyond that, the atmosphere is a full-on popularity contest. If you're not in the favored crowd, you'll feel it. There's a clear culture of picking and choosing who gets attention, support, or even basic courtesy. It creates a space where both talented artists and regular customers feel undervalued -- unless they're part of the inner circle. Bars like this thrive when they build real community and show love to the people who show up. Unfortunately, The Brass Tap has made it clear they're not about that life. If you're thinking of supporting this spot -- as a customer or a performer -- just know what you're walking into. read more

Sadly, the service is trash. The waitresses spend the entire time on their phones. The food piles up in the kitchen as a result of this. I saw the cook visibly annoyed the food wasn't being taken. Food that should be served hot is cold. Just don't go there. read more

Walked in and were told to sit anywhere, host told the server two times but the ladies he was chatting up were more important than serving tables. We moved over to the bar hoping to get service there where we were told they really didn't have very many food options but they would show us what they did have, Bartender never came back. Sat there for Maybe 1015 minutes tops, was really disappointing as this is the only negative experience we've had all weekend! Do better guys! read more

F this place... love brass tap in highland village. Rockwall served us drinks then 30 second later (1am) they were aggressively kicking us out. Had to guzzle our drinks.. NOT open till am. WILL NOT BE BACK! read more

Waitress in training was great. Requested fries with no salt. Trainer returned my tray to me saying they only put salt on with pepper. Meaning there was no salt on my fries. My friends and I could see and taste the salt on the fries. I'm now experiencing bad physical responses from too much sodium. I doubt I will go back. read more

Came here on a Thursday night with co-workers. Place was poppin. They had a DJ and a sort of Bingo game where you would guess the name of the song that was played. It was a good time. Service coulda been a hit quicker, but like I said, the place was really busy. The food was a hit. I'd come back for sure. read more

Kaylee was great! We had a very energetic party of four and she matched our energy perfectly :) Shout out to you!

Great place to get a drink and enjoy some food if you're staying in the area. The service is very friendly with a large dining room that's nicely decorated. The drink menu is quite extensive and the food is very reasonably priced, especially during happy hour. I was quite surprised with how good the food was here, especially the boom boom shrimp which was fried very nicely and served in a delicious sauce. The pretzel was also nice and crispy on the outside with just the right level of chewiness on the inside, served with delicious mustard and queso dipping sauces. The burger and fries I tried were solid as well, priced very well but didn't have the same level of flavor combinations and texture contrast that I enjoyed with the other two dishes. Overall, if you're staying at the Hilton -- this is a great place to have a drink or meal with friends. read more

Lots of beverage options, from beer to cocktails. Their nachos are a 4/5...would be 5 if there were enough toppings for all of the chips. Other than that, delicious!

Nice place with good food, just don't visit late night. The DJ song selection is awful and it's so loud you can't hear the person next to you. read more

AWFUL service. When will management deal with this. I don't even go in any more....used to be 3x a week and hundreds of bucks each month. Now I just go next door, not because the food is better I just refuse to give the tap my business until they get it together. read more

Mondays (before New Year's) are busy here. Best seat is at the bar. We squeezed in right before the end of happy hour and managed to get a fireball shot, pint & cheese quesadilla. Our bartender checked in regularly with us and we managed to order 2 flights of beers and pretzels with queso Blanco and grain mustard. Best beer IMO was the dragon milk stout if your a dark beer connoisseur. read more

Went here for Saturday brunch. Live music was lit & on pointy. Device by Audra was awesome! And food was tasty. The atmosphere is loud & fun for brunch time. I'd go back on a game day because they have lots of TVs.. lol. Can't go wrong with any Brass Tap in the DFW read more

We had family visiting around the Christmas holiday that were really eager to watch football at a bar (lol). Most places were closed on Christmas Eve, but The Brass Tap was open! It was not busy (only a few tables were seated). Food: OK, 3/5 I did not expect much since this was a bar and the average rating was pretty mediocre. Between my fiancé and I, we shared the "Boom Boom Shrimp" and the Baja Chicken flatbread (Pepper jack & Cotija cheeses, fire roasted red peppers, Poblano sauce, scallions, onion & cilantro). Overall, both the shrimp and the chicken flatbread were okay. Food was not blow my mind amazing, but it wasn't horrible either. They were both great finger foods for watching the game. Service: Needs Improvement, 2/5 Our server was barely available. She disappear in the kitchen for like 20 minutes at a time. Other servers were kind and tried to fill in for her, or go look for her. I went to the washroom to wash my hands and it was so gross in there. read more

My server Faith was amazing. Super attentive and made sure I was good the entire time I was there.

Excellent Beer selection FISH & CHIPS (I get it w tater tots!!) are soooo good. Nice thick pieces fish and not greasy. Good burgers Patio is excellent overlooking the lake. Good spot for a late working lunch when you need to send some emails or do a report but need lunch aand a beer! read more

Very tasty simple bar food coupled with a large selection of taps, bottles, and mixed drinks. Honestly, my only complaint is that as a Chicago resident -- where, in full disclosure, it was 15 degrees when I went to the airport and I was very content -- inside the bar was an absolute inferno. I would have stayed to have a couple more beers, but it was just too hot inside to tolerate. But definitely would go back again on a day where it's not so hot inside. read more

Bartender Kaitlyn gave a pleasant greeting as I sat at the bar. Beer Taps made a beautiful backdrop to the bar. Rockwall has needed a Craft Beer Friendly Bar concept for year's, especially at the Harbor. There's already great food restaurants, Craft Beers and Craft Cocktails will be a wonderful addition to the laid back Harbor, Lake Vibe. I came for lunch after a Dr. appointment and wanted to try Brass Tap. I chose the 2 Hot Chicken Tacos, Boom Boom Shrimp & Cheese Curds. Everything was filling, but typical bar food and not the best interpretation of what they represented. My Dry Hopped Old Fashioned perfectly cut through the richness of the food. My dessert was the Lakewood Lion's Share VII, bringing my experience to an end. Personally for me, I will maybe try the food again, But this will be my go to place for Craft Cocktails and Craft Beer. read more

Went at 2:30 pm on a Sunday. Not busy at all. Service was top knotch. Drinks were tasty but not made as advertised. No garnish provided as advertised, no tahini/sugar rim on the glass, etc.... Food was 1 star at best. Ribeye sandwich was RARE , no medium well. Chicken ranch sandwich was dry, only one slice of tomato on the sub roll and very little lettuce . We May give it another try with drinks only. Do not read more

I like this place. Very knowledgeable waitress who is friendly. Great place to get a Guinness and relax. But be aware. When karaoke starts it's s ear splitting loud. You have to scream to talk to someone. We couldn't flee that peace place fast enough. And, note, I'm an avid karaoke singer. Do it all the time. But this was just too crazy loud. read more

Our visit was great and they had the sliding doors open on a cool rainy opening day. I will definitely be back for the beer and cocktail selections. I had chicken tacos and pretzel bites for the appetizer. They were perfect, but the drinks were the highlight of the visit. I had a Blood Orange Tequila Sour and a Lavender Lemonade. The lemonade was interesting in how it changed color and tasted delicious. My bird Pollo enjoyed the the view and music , lol. read more
