    Just keeping stuff real, this place employs every attractive girl who lives in Fall River and still lives with her parents. I don't know if that is how they hire, but based off the lovely girls I know who work or have worked there, that factors in.
    Also, I read somewhere they have food, and that it might actually be good, so there's that.

    This place is excellent - the food is the best I've had anywhere in the area, top notch mixed drinks.  The only thing that wasn't above-par was the music.  If some of the bands who play in New Bedford would head over to the Taphouse, it would be the only place to be around here.

    I like this place. The atmosphere is nice and the menu offers a fantastic variety.  It's also nice to have a fun, casual place downtown.  The frequent Groupon offers definitely help as I almost never dine out without a coupon of some sort!  I usually go on weekday evenings and have never had to wait for a table.  I went once on a weekend, and it was busy, but I don't remember waiting for a table very long.

    I've had several different entrees and sandwiches and have enjoyed every item.  The muscles appetizer is amazing; splurge on that, definitely!  Take out was very good and efficient, too.

    The only reason this place does not knock my socks off is that the service lacking a little.  Nothing really horrible, but I feel forgotten by the server sometimes when I go there.  The food is good enough to make up for it, though.

    This place was a real find.  I went there with a friend after visiting the Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast Museum and loved it.  It's a very nice looking place with a great food selection that is reasonably priced.  The mussels are AMAZING and are practically a full meal!!! I would highly recommend them.  Honestly can't wait to go back to try more items on the menu.  The place had an extensive beer selection and good service. Had a great experience.  Parking might be tough during busy hours, so plan to walk unless you get lucky and find  spot on the street.  Would highly recommend.

    Very crowded place on a Friday night! We had a long wait for a table. The atmosphere is very loud. They had a band playing. The food was ok. I had the meatloaf sandwich with sweet potato fries. The drinks were good and reasonable. Overall, not bad.

    After a visit to the Lizzie Borden House on the last tour, we needed some lunch. This place was open on Columbus Day (don't know why New England thinks it's a holiday), so we took a chance. Happy surprise! First off, excellent service, hands down, very memorable. Great selection of beer on tap, and we made it on time for happy hour!  Atmosphere was very sports bar, as there were tvs everywhere. Parking I imagine would be cutthroat on a normal day, but since it was a holiday we were able to park fairly close.
    I fully recommend their beer battered onion rings, which are ridiculously good. Even my husband, who hates onions, liked them. They were smokey, can actually taste the beer, perfectly crisp and not greasy. I ordered an apple beer with a cinnamon sugar rim, which was a delight to drink. I had good old fish and chips, the rest of the table had steak tips, a burger, and BBQ pork tacos. We were very happy with our beers and our food. This is probably a great place to hang out, have some beers, and watch a game with friends.

    I like Taphouse a lot, I do. I've only gone on weekday nights, and it's never been overly crowded.

    The first time going there, my girlfriend and I split the mussels. If you're going to go to Taphouse for ANYTHING... go for the mussels. They're phenomenal. For our meal we split the BBQ pulled pork pizza, which was meh. In my opinion, it was undercooked and the crust was far too doughy. The pork was just kind of thrown on there in a couple of huge mounds, too. I'd prefer if it was spread out on the pizza a bit more.

    Anyway. The second time going, I got BBQ pork tacos which were GREAT (I'm also noticing a pattern now that I'm writing this review...) My girlfriend got the BBQ burger. We were both excited to see how the burger was, as we read rave reviews on it... but it wasn't too outstanding.

    The service has been nothing special either of the two times I've gone.

    Taphouse has a nice, relaxing atmosphere with good prices and a wide selection of food. I imagine it would be a bit busier on weekend nights, but if you go on a weekday you shouldn't have any issues with a wait. Also, parking can kind of be difficult. There' street parking along South Main, but it's just a matter of being able to park close enough to the restaurant. If you're lazy like me, that is.

    Pleasantly surprised. Went here with a friend who knows the area, and didn't know what to expect from downtown Fall River. I was surprised to find a super classic pub/sports bar style place that features live music.

    Actually, my only complaint about the whole place is that the live music is WAY too loud. I support local musicians and all, but I prefer to keep my hearing intact. This issue is something that I'm noticing with increasing regularity, as a matter of fact. When I go to a restaurant, it's because I LIKE the company I'm with and, chances are, I want to talk to them and HEAR their replies.

    We started off with a few drinks, both of pumpkin varieties since it was early December. For entrees she got... something I can't remember... and I got a salad with seared scallops. The scallops were so tasty and cooked perfectly, I wanted more as soon as they were gone! There were only four, sadly, but what do you want for $13.00. We rounded out our meal with some more pumpkin drinks, and nonchalantly dashed for the door before her ex from high school saw us.

    We went here on a Sunday afternoon when the Patriots weren't playing.   There weren't many people, but it was still on the loud side.   I would think it would be crazy loud during a game.  There are TVs on all the walls.    It took a while for the waitress to acknowledge us, but after that service was very good.    They have 24 beers on tap, which made my husband happy.  I had the Horseneck Beach martini and it was delicious.   We started with the boneless Asian wings and they were delicious.  We got four large pieces of chicken.    My husband ordered the mixed seafood plate with mashed potatoes and veggie which was butternut squash.   They were out of scallops so they gave him a little extra salmon.    He thought iit was just OK.   If we went back he wouldn't get it again.     I ordered the sausage and pepper pizza and it was good!  It was larger than I expected and with both my husband and I having some we brought half of it home.

    Beer and food were out of this world!  Bartendress could not have been more helpful and welcoming. Would recommend it to everyone.  Buffalo chicken Mac and cheese was the best. Perfect atmosphere and clean.

    A comfortable pub with a good beer menu, large portions and tasty food. We went on a Thursday, and the place was mostly empty. The waitstaff was friendly and everything tasted great. I prefer a thicker chowder, and theirs was a bit thin, but still had ok flavor. French onion soup and buffalo mac & cheese was great. Cod could have used a little flavor or spice but was served well with butter and tomato and the bread crumbs were perfectly browned.
    Waitress brought the wrong beer but left it at no charge in addition to getting the correct one. Music was at just the right volume where you could listen if you wanted but did not notice if you were having a conversation.
    We would go back.

    Stopped in last week to catch a game while I was in town.  I'd never been to any of the "hot spots" in Fall River.  I was impressed with this place.  It is nice and clean, lots of tvs, attentive service, and many types of beer on tap.  The bartender was happy to turn on the game of choice and had lots of suggestions about the best of local brews.  Prices are fair.  The menus are extensive and tempting.  Though I didn't dine here the food of the people sitting nearby smelled fabulous - especially the mussels.  I will have to dine at the Taphouse during my next visit.

    I've been here quite a few times and this time things were a bit off. We got there generally early for dinner around 5 and we were the only ones in the restaurant with the exception of a few patrons at the bar. We sat down and our waitress was really nice and patient with us deciding on drinks. I asked how the apple pie beer was and she offered me a sample. She came back with a sample that had a cinnamon sugar rim, this made me smile. The beer was great so I ordered that and the rest of the people I was with ordered specialty martinis. Everyone liked their drinks. The rest of my party was discouraged  by the lack of appealing appetizers. Even though they were half price until 6pm we decided against getting one. I ordered my old faithful caprese salad but this time I ordered shrimp and my counter parts ordered clam chowder, ceaser salad and a Reuben sandwhich. Everyone liked their food. However, my Caprese Salad was strange...There were no thick fresh slices of tomatoes or mozzarella. The shrimp was pretty good, but I was so disappointed with the boccaccini because I love the thick slices. But The thick balsamic glaze makes the whole dish, so I couldn't be too unhappy with the plate. Although, the weird thing was that there was no basil on my plate at all. I didn't miss it though because basil isn't my cup of tea, however...it was just weird.

    The Taphouse is a nice, classic American pub... clean, open, a good menu (ok, very few vegetarian items, but still!), and a young, but not rowdy crowd. I've been there twice and enjoyed each experience.

    First time: we got onion rings (awesome), a caprese salad (possibly the best item on the table), and a cheese panini (SOOO cheesy!). Everything was great. Our waitress was very friendly, and tried to help me with a beer selection. Unfortunately, she didn't know beers (which she was totally upfront about!) and ended up making poor recommendations based on what I wanted. But, like I said, that was really not her fault. She even brought me a sample of another beer she thought I might like, and even though it still wasn't my cuppa, I appreciated the gesture!

    The "meh" beer was more than made up for with another beer that another customer recommended to me. Apple beer (not cider, but basically tasted like it) that comes in a pint glass dusted with cinammon. That's probably beer blasphemy (beersphemy?) but I don't care, it was tasty!

    The best part was when we got the bill... drinks, appetizer, two small meals, and dessert, and I think the total was $25! I have never in my life seen a bill that low for so much food! Plus, our waitress had free soda refills coming so fast, we could barely finish the glass before another would be here.

    Anytime I'm in Fall River, Taphouse is where I'm going for dinner. It's not a culinary thrill ride, but I doubt you'll be disappointed either.

    I enjoyed the food here and the service was spot on. Granted, I went mid-day and it was pretty slow. Casual atmosphere, but the menu isn't typical brewery fare - the food is definitely decent with a lot of healthy options. My biggest complaint is the lack of vegetarian options on the menu. There's a few sandwiches thrown in, but not one meatless entree to be found. Personally, I eat fish, but my boyfriend is a vegetarian and this isn't a place I'd take him. Too bad, because it's close to home!

    After striking out at 2 restaurants on a Tuesday night, both were closed, we found ourselves at the Tap House at 8:40pm. We sat at a booth, and our server was quick to greet us. She took our drink order and asked if we were eating, We said yes. She responded with, "Ok, but the kitchen closes in 15 minutes." and walked away.

    My immediate thought was, how can the kitchen close at 9 if the doors to the restaurant stay open til 9?

    I was a little disheartened, but we ordered the Black and Tan Onion rings to start and BBQ pork tacos and their Tap House Burger, cooked medium.

    The onion rings and horseradish dip were fantastic. Crispy and tender but not at all oily. My pork tacos were fantastic - they would give my pulled pork a run for it's money! My husband's burger, although definitely not cooked medium... it was WELL DONE, was still juicy and very flavorful.

    My only other issue about the place is a small glass of Coke was $3 but the Harpoon Ale was only $4! Doesn't seem like the right price point to me.

    The food is above average pub fair for very reasonable prices.  Solid thin crust pizzas and decent sandwiches as staples.  Great steak tips, and some fish and pasta options (like the exceptional mac and cheese) are also decently priced for the better than expected pub food quality you are getting.  The mussels appetizer is a real standout, as well as the carne asada tacos that are only available on the Wednesday Mexican night (one of my new favorite dishes).  

    They have many beers on tap and in bottles as would be expected from a place called Taphouse.  They range in the $4.50 - 6.50 price range, stated here since prices are not listed on the beer list (personal pet peeve).  So very reasonable food, with slightly overpriced beer...overall a good choice for any crowd.

    As I have stated before, I am not a food critic, just a consumer with bad, annoying, debilitating food allergies (no wheat, no dairy, no yeast, no egg yolks, no mushrooms to name a few). This is one of the places that really, truly cares. They will work their hardest to make sure you get just what you want and how you need it. The owner has a rock solid idea of appreciation and gratitude for his customers. If you like beer, they even have a gluten free beer available, which is a nice option. The bar is beautiful and the row of booths give the space a really fun pub feeling. The proportions of the room make it feel a bit disconnected from bar to tables, but this isn't an interior design site but rather a site to tell you, if you are like me and cant eat without it feeling like a total fiasco, this is one local place that gets it and doesn't charge you a fortune. The staff is attentive and kind with a real attention to detail... this is the place. Check them out! Also even if you want to grab a pizza, my partner is crime, Miss Lola stated it was the best pizza in the area. We got one to go for Ma Dukes and Miss Lola had to eat a piece in the car on the way home. I delivered a pizza missing a slice! So thanks Taphouse staff! You make me happy about buying my house in Fall River... now if only we could get them to fix my street!?!

    First off, forget trying to find a parking space around here, pull right up to the front door and use the free valet service. Throw them a tip on the way out and you save yourself the headache of driving around in circles looking for a spot.

    Went in with some friends on a Friday night, while it was busy we were seated right away. We started with some drinks, the wife ordered the red sangria which she seemed to enjoy, I forget the beer I tried but it was very good. (Wish I knew the name so I could get it again)

    We then had the boneless wing sampler plate which had buffalo, a type of bbq and an Asian style. While all of them were good, the asian style was the favorite, would get a whole order of those next time. Also had some chips and salsa with fresh guacamole... this is not on the menu, you have to ask for it. (friends have been before)

    The pizza here is fantastic. We have tried the BBQ Pork Pizza and the Mediterranean Salad Pizza. Also worthy of a taste is the Taphouse Burger, ordered it medium and that's how it came... the sweet potato fries were good too.

    We were all too full by this point to try dessert so no review on that...

    Overall everything was very good and we will definitely be going back. Service was also perfect, the waitress was quick with drinks and very pleasant. It actually seemed like she enjoyed her job, something you don't see very often. Just remember, it's a Taphouse, not a fine dining establishment and you will be happy.

    But hey, don't take my word for it, check it out for yourself...

    I've gone to the Tap House a bunch for lunch and a few times after work for some quick drinks.

    It's really not a bad place at all: it has a nice atmosphere and everyone is pretty friendly. The food / drinks usually take a while to come out, but the biggest problem is the lunchtime $3.00 no-refill sodas. I mean, you adjust and drink water, but the first time that happened it sort of caught me off-guard when I had racked up a $6 soda bill.

    If you do go, the burgers are tasty and will fill you up!

    Great experience.  We loved sitting at the bar and ended up with pizza and my husband had some local beer.  The food was great and so reasonable!  The bartenders are friendly.  That evening the restaurant was quite busy.  It looked as if everyone was enjoying their meals.  We would go back if we are ever in the area again.

    Walk in here any weekday at lunchtime and you are likely to run into a who's who of the Fall River legal scene.  The last time I ate here I sat 1 table over from the Clerk Magistrate and 2 tables over from the Bristol County D.A.  If you need a good defense lawyer, this is the place to go.  The food ain't half bad either, although I am prejudiced because they have sweet potato fries.  The seafood is fantastic, and so are the burgers!  What else is there in life than seafood and burgers?  OH YEAH! LOTS OF BEER ON TAP!  BAM!!!

    GO THERE!

    Went there on a Sat afternoon, hardly anyone in their.  We ordered the onion rings, good, however very small portion.  I ordered a make your own burger and my husband ordered the three cheese burger (swiss, american, and goat cheese).  Both were very good, cooked perfectly, however on the three  cheese burger, the goat cheese was too over whelming..  
    Would come back and try different things on the menu

    The Taphouse may have the best selection of beers on tap in or around Fall River as the name implies, but the food is also remarkable. The dishes are well presented and the quality and class are much better then one would suspect with what appears to be another pub.  

    The service has always been pleasant and attentive even when the Taphouse is busy and loud as it tends to get later in the night.

    I recommend starting with a flight of 4 draft samples and a cup of chili (the bowl is a meal in itself).

    They even have free valet parking on weekend night, which is very convenient.

    Food was tasty, drinks were good but the waitress we had the night we were there was worst I've ever experienced.  If you are saddled with a tall, skinny blond for a waitress, then you might want to rethink it and ask for someone else.  I wasn't done with my dinner, actively eating from my plate and she up and took it away...kept taking everyone's drinks off the table, even though they weren't finished with them.  We'd look away for a few minutes, turn back to get it and it'd be gone and she's walking away with it.  I have no problem with wanting to be efficient and clean off the table but ask if we're done first.  That's just some of the shenanigans...Some of the other wait staff seemed pretty efficient and much nicer to the patrons.  It was quite loud in the restaurant and hard to hear my friends while we were trying to hold a conversation.  Parked with the Valet and he was great--had my car waiting when I got to the door, he had seen us getting ready to leave and got my car ready.  I would go back again though.  The menu does look good.

    Last night I found a tasty new - well, new to me - beer at Taphouse: Tröegs Mad Elf. And at 11% ALC, you might think you're an elf if you enjoy too many.

    But that's not why I went. Really.

    My GF and I have returned here a few times since our initial visit but had yet to sample Taphouse's food. So last night we were largely impressed by the dishes we ordered from what had otherwise been regarded as an after dinner joint.

    They were way outside the quality of offerings we had anticipated.

    Our appetizers were half price. The mussels were really the crown jewel of the entire culinary adventure. They were large - for mussels - and resting in a delicious broth of spice, tomato and bacon bits. The accompanying cuts of large, soft, toasted and buttered garlic bread made this app a quasi entrée.

    There are few places that do mussels better.

    The fried Wontons on the other hand were all fried batter and very little minced content. And while the honey sauce was helpful, it just made the rubbery morsels taste sweet. It was like chewing on a piece of gum that had been deep fried with extreme prejudice and then dunked in honey.

    So my weighted average of the appetizers is about a C.

    Her steak tips were cooked exactly to her liking and were absolutely delicious. They had excellent texture and taste. My meat loaf came wrapped in bacon and was a few notches above average in flavor.

    It's worth ordering again if Taphouse ever runs out of its steak tips.

    The Jasmine rice came interspersed with peas, which I didn't want and wasn't aware of, but was a nice accompaniment nonetheless. The summer squash was very good but cool to the taste, which was...you know, kinda gross.

    Each time we've been to Taphouse the place has been spotless. However, the service has been hit-or-miss, ranging from eager and helpful (this is mostly the case) to (in one visit) disinterested and lethargic. And when disinterest is paired with that pained look of exasperation and indifference, the experience lessens.

    Our bartender last night - Joe - does not fall into the latter category. He was courteous, informative, helpful and attentive. A line-up of similar staff with some buttoning up on food details could make the Taphouse Grille the indisputable go-to place in downtown Fall River.

    The virtues are (1) the generous (GENEROUS)$10-11 entrees such as the marvelous mac & cheese wrapped in bacon and the meatloaf that is far better than mother ever made, and (2) a decent selection of craft drafts that go well with their menu. The selection of drafts is biased towards light brews with silly names over quality dark beers and ales but this isn't a huge problem for me.

    The folks waiting tables do indeed kill time chatting and this is probably why there are mysterious gaps between food and drink items appearing. But the kids who have served us have been so pleasant that it's hard to take offense.  Also, it's a trip to watch them race around the floor once they do get going.

    So the good news is that the food is great and affordable, the beer is better than it what is on offer at most places, and the service could be a lot worse.

    But the bad news is that the ambience is somewhere between a bad trip and a good trip with a bad cd player.  Like most who go there for a meal we have gone fairly early and wonder why they have the place tuned to a late hours drink and dance crowd when most patrons are there for a quick but pleasant meal or, as likely, sorting things out in a cocktail lounge sort of experience.  

    Once seated for dinner your eyes keep going to the giant TV screens and the sporting events nobody is watching. Your ears reach out to what your partner says but but mostly they pick up the music music nobody is listening to and the voices of other diners who are all shouting to be heard above the din.  It's as if the management can't figure out that there should be one ambience between like 7 and 9 and another between 10 and closing.  How hard is it to figure out that he should program one scenario for people nibbling, conversing, & eating and another for the late evening singles scene?

    If this was my first impression of Fall River, I'd think it was a pretty hip place. We came because we had a $25 gift card; I would go back because I am in love with the beer selection, the atmosphere and that mac & cheese.

    Up front I am going to say the service was lackluster. Our waitress kept touching my boyfriend, which I think bothered him way more than it irked me, and she knew nothing about the beers. Despite that, she was attentive, and service was on pace.

    The beers... there's about a dozen drafts, with a good four or five devoted to seasonal brews. The only lights you're getting here are Bud, Coors and Taphouse (house water?). They do a four-beer sampler of whichever draft you care to try. I stuck with a pint of the Shipyard Smashed Pumpkin, complete with sugar-cinnamon rim.

    Menu items cover your typical pub American fare, but it all looked good. I had the buffalo tenders (spicy!) and the buffalo mac & cheese. The mac & cheese was enough for two people to split for dinner plus have another dinner leftover to take home. It was oh-so-good with chunks of buffalo chicken and blue cheese amid ooey gooey elbow pasta topped with just the right amount of breadcrumbs. It hit the comfort food spot on a chilly night.

    The sesame chicken stir-fry was creative plated in a deep bowl layered with the ingredients and topped with a string of carrot. Again, there was plenty to take home for another meal. The steak tips also got a good review and generous portion.

    The restaurant is long and narrow with a modern but cozy atmosphere. The area behind the bar is enormous, and I wondered what they kept back there. There is live music several nights of the week, but we were unable to stay and hear the band that was setting up while we were eating dinner.

    Overall, if I am in the area again, I will definitely go back to the Taphouse -- if only to check out the draft selection.

    P.S. There is complimentary valet parking if you have trouble finding a spot on the street.

    The Taphouse is a new, extremely clean bar right on Main St. across from the new courthouse. I was excited for this place to open, because I'm embracing places where I can get more than a Coors Freaking Light on draft. Because competition on Main is scarce and its proximity to the courthouse (lawyers enjoy drinking), the Taphouse should kill it in Fall Reeves.
    This was my third time visiting The Taphouse. The first time I was alone and stopped in for a chowder and a beer at lunchtime. They were out of chowder. Not a good start! But they had Alagash on tap, which tickled my britches dandily. So I had a couple of beers and left.
    Second time I went was a drinking only affair, and the clientele were extremely respectable. I saw some old friends and a local big shot politician, and the bartenders were friendly and accommodating. Drank a ton of beer, left happy.
    Yesterday I finally went there for dinner, and with the family no less (there's five of us, three of which are under five years old...it can be a shit show at restaurants sometimes).

    Quick Review: The Taphouse delivered. Much better than I expected.

    We got there around five, the place was empty and we were greeted immediately and sat in a nice big booth in the back of the place. We have kids, and they were smart enough to give us the comfortable seating. Our waitress was extremely prompt. I asked for an IPA (liquid gold) and she got me a Harpoon which tasted super special...cold, carbonated...nice. We ordered our food:

    Wife - Burger: "Good," she said. "But overcooked."

    Kids - Pasta: It was Fusili Rigati, which was curly and fun, and they serve it in a French Onion Soup bowl. Just the fact they serve fun sized pasta shows they're thinking.

    Me - The Wife and I split a Cesar Salad, and we asked for dressing on the side. Some places give you a bowl of dressing with like three pieces of drowned romaine in it. It came with dressing on it, and as soon as our waitress put it down she realized and was very apologetic. We kept the salad though, because it was dressed perfectly. But the salad was meh. A little brown on the lettuce. Surprising crunch. Very lemony.

    Here comes the awesome part...

    I ordered another beer (Loose Cannon IPA on tap? Really? you had me at "Loose." Awesome beer...I don't think the bartender cleared the lines before my first one though...no biggie) and ordered an appetizer for an entree, the steamed mussels. I figured, why not REALLY test the Taphouse with some shellfish. Either it's good, or I'm at Charlton getting an saline IV. First of all, it came out PIPING hot (good) and the broth was very nice...not orgasmic good like the Back Eddy's, but really good. And actually, I liked it because the mussels stood up for themselves. AND...the bowl never ended...it was like the bottomless pit of mussels. I just kept finding more. Nice touches: Served with a nice grilled crusty bread to sop up all the broth of love. Three gigantic pieces...awesome. After dinner, our lovely waitress informs me that appetizers were half price at this time, so I got a mountain of mussels for like, $4.50.

    Total bill: $50.00ish, so about $10.00 per person, and I had three beers. So less. Go early and get the mussels. Go late and drink kick-ass beers and make fun of lawyers. Everyone is friendly and the place is cleaner than an old Portuguese lady's house. I came in with low food expectations and was quite happy. Sometimes when you go to a restaurant EARLY when there's few people there, the service is worse than when it's a packed house. But Taphouse was a good take, and the kids loved it, too.

    This is a tough place to review. I really want to like The Taphouse Grille, and a couple of items on the menu have brought me back in the hope that my experience will be better than the last.

    I guess my biggest problem with The Taphouse Grille is the generally poor service. The wait staff appear to be young and (frankly) a little lazy. The waitresses give off a definite air of indifference. It seems that they'd prefer to ignore the fact that you're waiting for a drink refill or the plates cleared, because they'd simply rather chat with each other.

    During my first trip to the restaurant, I thought it was an off night for the waitress. Nope. On my two subsequent trips I found a similar level of poor service. There is no manager on the floor with real customer-service experience to train staff properly or keep the servers in check.

    The restaurant is consistently clean, but it can get noisy due to the acoustics.

    I will say that on my last trip I had the mussels, which were extraordinary. Not just good. Truly excellent. Spicy and well seasoned, with lots of sauce in which to dip the generous portion of buttered, toasted bread. Divine! If I was judging the restaurant on this dish alone, it would be 5 stars without reservation.

    I wish I had stopped there, because the salmon that followed (the waitress' suggestion) was a big disappointment (I say "big" deliberately because the portion was absolutely enormous... borderline wasteful). Frozen salmon covered in a thick, gooey, sweet/salty sauce. No good. My friend's Chopped Salad looked a heck of a lot better than my entree.

    I was disappointed with the margaritas, and will stick to beer and wine if I decide to return to The Taphouse Grille.

    Awesome place. Good environment, good beer, and great food. Had the steak tips, they were excellent!!! This place is now our favorite rest. here in the city. Can't go wrong here.

    Very clean, comfortable place.  Good food, good prices.  Delicious huge burgers, perfectly cooked to order, love the option of mixed greens on the side instead of fries.  Can also choose what appears to be a hand cut sweet potato fry.  Friendly service.  4 stars instead of 5 for blue cheese dressing rather than the real cheese on the burger.
