We have been to this Wood n Tap location multiple times now. Most of our visits, we have sat in the bar area and service and food have been wonderful. We also recently sat in the dining room and it was a crowded night and the service and food remain consistently great! read more

Ordered a menu item that arrived with an allergen on it. (I was not expecting fried breaded onion rings on an ahi tuna app.) I let the staff know that I could not eat the item and they 'remade' it. My new dish arrived 5 minutes later and they remade the bed of greens but the tuna was the same from the dish I sent back. They asked if it was an allergy. I said yes. They knew the protein was contaminated. When I attempted to address this with the manager, I was given a hard time and was sarcastically asked if I needed to go to the hospital. He argued with me and tried to blame the mistake on me. The kitchen asked and had confirmation that I had an allergy and still left food in front of me to eat. This is outrageousness. The mistake is egregious, but the response from management is unacceptable. read more

Trash customer service , food is delightful. The spinach dip is bomb, and their new ribeye steak frites is exquisite. But when I walked into the door, the man at the door asked, "what can I do for you" as if I wasn't in a restaurant waiting to be seated, as if I was a homeless person standing in their midst, who also shouldn't be treated this way. Maybe he thought we were picking up, but still. What the f. "Hello, how are you guys, two of you this evening? great, right this way. " would have been SUFFICE. Prior to this, a man had just walked into the corridor, glanced at me like I was scum, and then turned to the host, to whisper something SO important for like five seconds too long, into his ear. Unprofessional to say the least, I wasn't greeted I was treated like a burden. so a great place to get treated like scum with a great meal, for a shitty price. Why are their no black waitresses. They gotta keep it commercial in service and employees I'm sure. Trash trash trash. read more

Service was slow,app came out with mealnot much meat at all on ribs .. ??! Charged me for g/f's daughters bday cake.. won't go back to Hamden read more

This is by far the best restaurant within Hamden! The food is great and the service is superior! Laura and Amanda are excellent and truly help to provide an incredible atmosphere. If you haven't stopped by here yet, you are truly missing out. 5/5 would recommend to a friend! read more

If you eat in it's fine, if you order out.. not so great. Several times now they replace items without mentioning it. Last order was salad with shrimp - they gave grilled chicken instead ( paid for shrimp) and today I ordered Flatbread pizza -with cauliflower crust- but they gave me cheese pizza -regular crust-that was not completely cooked. When I called it was met with, "yeah that's just how we make it. ". Def will order elsewhere from now on for take out since there are many other places in the area who actually care when their food stinks/customers are not happy. read more

This place is like a low quality chilis. Service was good at the beginning, but quickly went downhill. I got the Santa Fe chicken and it was horrendous. Go somewhere else. read more

I guess I looked like a well dressed Mexican because she didn't want to sit us down until the rest of my party arrives. But the next white couple who were still waiting for the rest of their party, they were seated immediately. Blatant!!!!! Not ever coming back to this place ever! read more

We were in a bit of a hurry because we were on a break from work. Our server Nico was fantastic! We let him know that we had a bit of a time crunch and everything was taken care of. We were able to relax and eat without feeling rushed and he made sure we were out in the amount of time we needed. I would definitely go back and I would ask for Nico for sure! read more

Gianna was incredible. Fast service and always on top of things. Recommended a fantastic drink that i will always have here. Super friendly and kept coming back for conversation. Will ask for her every time i come here now! read more

Another Wednesday night with the lovely Laura and Amanda. They offer the best service with the warmest smiles. Also, a great beer selection! Update: How can I forget Scottie and Kaitlyn? Oooops. Wonderful servers. Update II: Scott's a bartender. And a fine one at that. I trained him. Update III: Moreover, I am the absolute best and finest patron this establishment has ever seen. read more

Our server/bartender Amanda is amazing!! We will be coming back just to see her :) she is extremely helpful and has great recommendations.

Went here for the first time today and it was great! Megan was a sweetheart, very personable with fast, accurate service! Caesar salad was one of the best I've ever had and the chicken tenders were really good. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I received upstanding service from Scott, slinging drinks behind the bar, he made it a memorable experience. We will be back for sure. We just moved back to the area and Scott made us feel so welcome with his pleasant demeanor and upbeat personality. Being a senior citizen it's nice to have a breath of fresh air, definitely our new hot spot. Love Mr. and Ms. BUGALOU read more

After loving the location in Orange, last weekend, we made it a point to stop an this Wood-n-Tap in Hamden, CT. Remembering this place from years past prior to the current restaurant, I was pleased to see how updated and modern the inside is now. We sat at the bar around 1 pm on a Saturday and we were promptly greeted by a friendly bartender. After asking a few questions on drinks and beers, we finally made our selection. Since we weren't super hungry, we split a salad (which they split for us - thank you) and tried the white pizza. Both were excellent and the pizza was great with the right amount of OO, garlic and cheese. I want to come back again and try the seasonal menu, which looks delicious, especially the Truffle Risotto Balls. read more

Always good. Way too regular here, app or "house salads" with grilled salmon . Burger bites-like all of them? peach mules . Nachos-eh better options are available. Gets packed though and it's really annoying to not get a seat at the bar when waiting for an order to take home. Or just happy hour in generally. read more

This place was a bit crowded on a Friday night, which wasn't too surprising. The food was okay but not great. I got the Hickory Burger, which was a bit burned, and parmesan fries (their normal fries don't have any seasoning). I'm interested in trying their pasta if we go back at some point. read more

Awesome atmosphere, tasty food, great service. 5 stars to my waiter, Omar, who was professional, fun, and timely.

Glad to see Wood n Tap in Hamden. I've been a fan since graduate school at UHart. Reasonably priced menu. You get a nice break with the kids menu (meals between $5 and $7). Extensive beer selection. Food is decent. Good size bar area...a little more inviting than the old Chili's setup. I'm sure I'll be frequenting this spot often! read more

I'm so glad this location is now open. I love Wood N Tap...especially this one, maybe because it's brand new. We haven't eaten in the dinning area yet. We ate at the bar which I think looks amazing! Our bartender, Steve, was great and the cocktails were delicious...oh, and we enjoyed our meals too! :-) We will definitely be back. read more

I have been to the Wood-n-Tap four times now and have had small issue each time. They have a great menu and quality food but two of the times that I have gone my food was freezing cold. read more

I have been to many of the wood and taps around including Southington, Orange, Wallingford and this location. Aside from Orange, this location is my favorite. I have never had an issue with the food, everything has always come out hot and prepared how I like it. The atmosphere of this location is nice- I have primarily eaten in the bar area. They have a few long tables there for larger parties, but I believe they are first come first serve. I really love their rewards program- since I come here quite often it adds up quickly. Wood n' Tap has a pretty large menu, sometimes I wish they would switch it up a little though. I feel as if the menu is very consistent, but I think a variety of new things on the actual menu (not just the specials) from time to time wouldn't be a bad thing. I really enjoy their drink specials though, they have a lot of really tasty drinks from the bar. read more

This wood n tap is amazing. Very cool decor....and all the updates are here if you love beer. They have the perfect tap system which ensures your favorite beer is served just the way the brewer intended....it's true and it says so on the menu.. ;) gorgeous marble bar and spacious. Food is good, even though I just had a salad....but the burgers look amazing. Bar room has tables big enough for large groups, or can be community tables. Waitstaff is knowledgeable, and friendly. And I got my points card, 10.00 reward every 300 points....definitely a great place for hanging with friends or happy hour! read more

The one in Orange is at least edible. Maybe it's because they're relatively new in this location and haven't fired their first round of staff yet, but food shouldn't leave the line cold and sure as heck shouldn't come back colder than it was when you sent it back. Just saying. Front end staff was super nice though. read more

3rd strike. We really wanted to give this place a chance. I know there are growing pains being a new restaurant but it's time to get their act together. Today we sat for 15 minutes before a server even entered the room we were in. We finally flagged down another server who took out order for whomever was assigned to our table. 20 minutes later the food was luke warm. The food is very underwhelming. Way too much salt. Medium burger came out well done. Every order I have made here the proteins are always overcooked. The food just isn't that good. Period. It's like a jazzed up ruby Tuesday. read more

Bland. Salty. Bland. Over-processed. Berkshire perfectly Round pork sandwich tasted like over boiled hot dog and the "hard" raspberry lemonade tasted like syrup and looked like kitchen cleaner. Service was glacial. This is a reminder to avoid chains. read more

Such a cute place! Even though it's a chain, it's super cozy. Also as a germaphobe, i really appreciate how the bathroom doors have a foot pedal that allows you to keep your hands clean while exiting. Not to mention the staff is always friendly, especially the bartender who served us, Gianna. Incredibly kind and easy to talk to. Highly recommend you try out their "tappy" hour deals read more

Pricey for food that is not good at all. Ordered 60$ worth of food between 4 people, about 15$ a person and food was just absolutely terrible. It's not gross but not good. They need to rethink on their recipes and flavor or something read more

Came in here for a quick lunch. Since I was alone, I sat at the bar. The staff was great and the food was pretty good too. Service was quick and I didn't have to wait forever for the bill. I'll be back. read more

Not a satisfying experience. My family and I were unhappy from the time we sat at the table until the time we left. After waiting over an hour to be seated (this is while watching, guest come in and be sat within min) I will admit we did have a party of seven. Our waitress came to the table and we asked if we can place our food order right away. (we had more than enough time to look at the menu while waiting) 6 out of the 7 people were not satisfied with their meals, and the drinks weren't made good. I asked for an egg over easy and it came fried, and my fries came to the table cold. Also, you couldn't taste anything in the avocado dip (I refuse to call it guacamole) it had onions and tomatoes in it, but it only taste of avocado. Nothing else... Also,I wouldn't really recommend bringing your children in with you. We had a party next to us yelling and swearing at each other throughout the whole meal. All in all, I wouldn't recommend visiting Wood-N-Tap if you have a party over two, you'll wait forever and your waitress won't remember each order. 1. The cook could use some lessons. 2. The waitress should write notes for orders, because she could not remember things we said. Go to taco bell at least you'll get what you asked for. read more

The service is excellent. I ordered a burger medium well, it came out basically raw, so I asked for it to be redone. They threw the same burger back on and reserved to me. Kind of gross and tasted like what I imagine would be comparable to a dry hockey puck. Very disappointing, considering my BF paid $12 for said friggin burger WHAHHHHH?????? Take your chances. read more

Disappointed. We have been to the Orange Wood N Tap and have always had a good meal. Hamden attention to detail is lacking. Instead of cheddar cheese on my burger I asked for Swiss cheese. I got both. I hate cheddar cheese. My wife's fish fillet with panko bread crumbs was not freshly fried fish, i.e. it was our guess to have been previously frozen fish fillet. And the men's room had two paper towel holders that were empty of paper. Not sure we will be returning to the Hamden restaurant. read more

Seated and watched 4 employees on their phones for 15 minutes - waiving at them at one point to get even water or some acknowledgement. Too busy on their phones in an empty restaurant to stress themselves. Just got up and left without anyone noticing. The millennial apocalypse is nigh! read more

Has the nicest patio and really great food and drinks. They have some pretty good beers on tap. The staff is very welcoming. Never disappointed here! read more

We have enjoyed the Wallingford location many times and we're greatly pleased with our first visit to the new Hamden location. You would never know it is an old Chili's. The decor looks amazing and I love the separated rooms for greater privacy and intimacy while dining. I got the hickory burger and it was cooked perfectly. My husband had the salad with tuna which was also fantastic. read more

Service is quite good. Beer selection is very good. Menu is a bit outdated, as the gastropub fad expired a long time ago. But if you're under 24, and don't know much about the world-at-large yet, and if your parents are still paying your way; this may be the spot for you! read more

Wow - what a great place to have in Hamden. We've taken two trips in two weeks. This Friday there was a 15 minute wait at 6pm; it's certainly popular! Come for the excellent food, great beer selection and decent service. read more

I came for a salad. Good beer selection. Sat at the bar. After two beers the salad disappeared from the menu. I had the burger and the burger had me. Success. And they lived happily ever after. The End. read more

My son surprised me with lunch here yesterday. It's getting harder and harder to get a burger that's cooked correctly and tastes great. They got the job done! I hope this place stays consistent. I'll definitely come back. Great, professional staff, nicely decorated. We had a very nice lunch! read more

I've been here once and ordered take out once. The atmosphere there is pretty good and the bartenders were attentive. The food is good, but not so good that I'd want to come back again. Good place to grab a few drinks with friends or co-workers and grab something lite to eat. read more
