    Came here for lunch and was waited on by Laura and she was amazing! I signed up for the rewards program because she recommended it. I had the lobster grilled cheese summer special sandwich and it was great. They have 1/2 bottles of wine on Mondays. She also suggested the strawberry cheesecake for dessert so I had it. She is the reason people come back to here and become regulars. You have my business whenever I am in Southington!!

    Love coming here for a date night dinner or with friends! Although they are super busy (rightfully so), the service is efficient nonetheless! staff is super kind and it food is yummy!

    I was recommended Wood-n-Tap by coworkers, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. For a small Connecticut chain, they've really nailed the consistency and quality. I sat at the bar where the bartenders were quick to greet me, hand me a menu, and pour a drink without missing a beat. I've been ordering the Pinot Noir here, but to be honest, the wine selection feels a bit basic at this location. The Pinot was drinkable but not great--next time I might switch it up with a Merlot or something else. Now the food, though, is where this place shines. The salmon with Parmesan risotto was out of this world. The flavor, the texture, the way it all came together--it was perfect. The salmon was baked just right, and the risotto was creamy and rich. Even the asparagus stood out; they give you hearty pieces that are so thick, you almost need a knife. Service was warm and upbeat, and everyone seemed genuinely excited about the ongoing renovations. The only downside for now is that the men's room is temporarily a high-end porta potty outside. But it's a sign that better things are on the way, and honestly, it didn't take away from a great night. Highly recommend--especially that salmon.

    I have gone to this restaurant several different times. Overall, I would classify it as just okay. If you are looking for a place that's quick, fairly priced and basic I would recommend this please. Every time I have gone I have tried something different, and I just feel as though all the food is blah. They have a nice selection of drinks and the staff is always phenomenal.

    Went here after a long soccer game in the rain and we're happily greeted and seated quickly even though the parking lot was packed. The waitress and hostess were kind and paid attention to detail. My son had the filet medallions with lime rice and French fries. The filet was cooked good but seasoning was minimal, the fries were nice and crispy and the rice was lacking. My husband had the half rack of ribs with garlic mashed and coleslaw. The ribs were fork tender and had nice bbq flavor. I had the Thai Asian salad with a side of grilled chicken. The addl order of chicken literally was four slices of chicken. The salad had a blob of noodles, dressing, and small sprinkle of mandarin oranges and peanuts no other veggies or add ins to the salad. We shared the crème brulee which was tasty but not your normal as it had a chocolate bottom layer. The lights in the restaurant are pretty dark and dreary and the booth table seemed a bit dirty but it was a buzz Saturday night. They do take credit card and there is plenty of parking

    The Wood N Tap is located as a stand alone restaurant in a supermarket plaza. Parking does not seem to be an issue, although online pick up parking is pushed a bit off to the side. The interior is very dark - it's not hard to see, but definitely a dark wood theme. There are several rooms with tables and booths, and one with a large bar. Most curious is one long bench along the hall towards the restrooms. It's so long, I couldn't quite figure out why it was there in design. The servers were very pleasant though, and kept the refills coming. Yay hydration! The burger was the quality I've come to expect from the Wood N Tap, with ketchup carefully portioned out. The crab dip was very cheesey, but the crab itself was hard to find. However, I recommend saving any extra to dip with your fries and/or sandwich. Don't let it go to waste!

    I crave Woodntap at times, specially for their salads. This time my dad asked if we can go since he havent been in a long time and I didn't even hesitate to say No! Sangrias are always great there, the Service and food! Today my dad ordered the pork Chop Piccata. Came with asparagus and mashed potatoes. My dad subbed the mashed potatoes for French fries. He said it was tender and not dry! I was also satisfied with My dishes. I did want the steak Cobb salad but kitchen staff was unsure if bourbon marinade had wheat and was gluten-free. Do I didn't order it. I would have loved to tho! So to be safe I just order a small house salad. Everything we did order was very good tho . Sat outside! Drinks were great! No complaints. Just wish they New the steak sauce ingredient on the salad.

    ruebin eggrolls. DELISH!

    Did a really nice job on St Paddys Day menu. Plenty of options. Which I'll show in pics. Always have solid service & good quality & a nice variety.

    Blue cheeseburger, Parmesan tots, Mariner sandwich and sweet potato fries
    Marilyn B.

    Had a busy day and popped in for a burger. We'd never been here before, so were pleasantly surprised. I had the Blue Cheese burger and hubbie had the Mariner Sandwich (Salmon). Both were excellent. He had sweet potato fries and I had the Parmesan garlic tater tots. Everything, including the service was excellent

    Cheers to 2024!!!

    Great food and excellent service. We'll keep coming back!! Real chill atmosphere. We love trying all of the different appetizers!

    Russel's reserve single barrel bourbon
    Michael W.

    Don't sleep on this place like I did! Focusing on their whiskey / bourbon selection they have at least a dozen single barrel picks. We tried three of them - Russel's, old forester, and Jack daniels - they were all delicious. Service was also great. Christine was attentive and willing to help us whenever we had questions. The other guests seated at the bar were cool too - we talked about food and music in a comfortable setting. Happy hour specials were great. My quesadilla was only $6! I plan to return to my local location to try more single barrel picks during hh in the future.

    House salad no egg w chicken

    Good salad, chicken was cooked well, I like that they use the mixed croutons. Chicken portions are a little small for the price but overall good quality.

    Spicy (mildly) Mac and cheese
    Ruth N.

    Three and a half stars for this unplanned visit after the restaurant we planned was closed for Friday lunch and dinner (smh!)?? Food was good ... appetizer of half order (8 PCs) wings were great although we ordered garlic Romano and here was definitely a curry flavor in there ... thankfully we like curry and enjoyed them as well as their dressing with chunks of blue cheese. My arugula salad with delicious apricot vinaigrette (perfect balance and not too acidic) with walnuts and fried goat cheese and added (5 small) shrimp for $7 extra was delicious. The "spicy" Mac and Cheese was more just a flavor of chipotle then spicy but still good! With drinks out check was $61 so not bad. Service was good, not stellar and a little slow but acceptable.

I told the it was our first time there and the lady taking my order answered some questions I had with a smile. I ordered 1 cow tongue taco, 1 al pastor taco, a kids beef burrito and a steak burrito. The kids burrito is a great deal. You get a choice of a burrito or quesadilla and it comes with fries for 9 bucks. The lady was so humble she didn't even realize they had great reviews online until I showed her. Everything was good with my favorite being the burrito and the cow tongue and my least favorite being the al pastor (not that it wasn't good, it was just ok). The food was ready quickly and they even gave us 2 of their limeades on the house! Delicious btw I highly recommend their homemade limeade.

Sparse decoration and the kitchen takes up a majority of the tiny space. There are tables, but it's very much a To-go place. We ordered some tamales, some tacos and some chips. Went to the salsa bar and got a bunch of sauces to try. Drove to a parking lot to take pics and dig in. The tacos were a little overcooked and under seasoned. They tasted good and were dressed simply. They all needed salsa to really shine. The chorizo was the best bite. Just enough spice and seasoning to stand well on its own. The weakest being the ground beef, which was dry and not seasoned beef. The tamale was good, cooked in a banana leaf, good masa and the mole filling was hot and sweet which chicken used as the protein. A well balanced bite. The chips and salsa were basic but plentiful. Price was reasonable given the quality. It's not a date night Mexican place. It's a place for regular folk to get decent Mexican fare at decent prices, good portions, and basic but executed well tacos. It's great for those who are around the area, but not a space I would try to hunt down

I opted to order a couple tacos to-go and try their chicken and mole tamale on special. Wow!! The proteins were cooked perfectly with flavor - so all the taco needed was cilantro and onion - like they are supposed to be done. The tamale was probably the best I have ever had. Using a black mole inside the tamale the chicken was moist and tender. My favorite value was the salsa bar - at no additional cost you can choose from about 6 different salsas, from a variety of spicy levels and flavors. Also included is Jalepano, radishes and some other small things. A great idea that adds true value to the customer. Overall this is a taqueria that I will drive to!!! When I am in the mood for tacos I am here. I should also mention they do have a full Mexican menu with entrees and such. So many items to try to keep you coming back.

Our feet led us to one of the 4 inside tables where we could be soon seen noshing on warm taco chips, a delicious house made salsa and two other accompaniments. The tacos that arrived shortly thereafter were so generously filled with juicy pastor meat that it caused another smile to appear on my face. Prices remain more than reasonable given the quality of their food so as I reviewed our bill I could not help myself from once again smiling.

The restaurant is situated on a side street just several burrito lengths from the Meriden Green where the farmers market was in process of concluding. On entering we were impressed by the size of the interior which was festively decorated as well as the number of employees though the acoustics proved to a bit distracting due to the loud music continuously being played. After a short wait a server arrived bearing at trio of menus, a basket full of taco chips and multiple enhancements. Meat options for the street tacos were not fully detailed, but when queried we were told both pollo and al pastor were available. We decided to share a quartet of the latter plus a pair of sodas. It took quite awhile for our meals to arrive so we took full advantage of the complimentary chips and salsas. It was during this period that I discovered the bottle marked spicy was indeed spicy so it was wisely ignored from that point forward. The tacos proved to be fresh and flavorful though the meat portion was under whelming and extremely dry. Our servers were uniformly pleasant though each step in the process from taking our order to obtaining a check took longer than either desired or required. A rating of 2.5 stars is deemed most appropriate.
