We ate at Tap and Barrel as a friend suggested and we were not disappointed. It’s friendly, comfortable, great drinks and delicious food. Our server was super nice (wish I took not of his name) and food was delivered quickly and hot. Wings, yum. Shrimp app, yum. Dinners, so good! We’ll be back!

Really like the food here. Love their sidewinder fries. Plenty of choices on the menu...burgers, wraps, salads, wings even dessert. Relaxing atmosphere. Our waitress, Alexis, was great! We are becoming regulars.

Highly recommend! Each time we go, we try something new. Never disappointed! Service is great and we love the rustic atmosphere. Also love that they play music even when no one has money in the jukebox. You can tell the owner and management truly care about the customer's experience.

Went there for the first time with some friends, 3 apps 5 meals, everything was amazing. Only thing was the wait but it was peak time in the evening so to be expected and the wait was so worth it. I love the side winder fries, they're so good but not a lot of places sell them. Went back again within the week with my other friend who also loved the burger and Mac n cheese.
