“Tap House Sports Grill – A Must-Visit Spot for Great Food & Drinks If you're looking for a top-notch dining experience, look no further than Tap House Sports Grill. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a welcoming atmosphere, friendly service, and an unbeatable selection of food and drinks. Let’s start with the food—the Slider is an absolute must-try. Perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, it’s one of the best in town. The Stromboli and Calzone are also highly recommended, stuffed with delicious fillings and baked just right. And if you're in the mood for an appetizer, the Dugout Dip is a real winner! Honestly, there’s not a single dish here that isn’t top-notch. The kitchen staff knows what they’re doing, and every bite proves it. Now, let’s talk drinks. Tap House Sports Grill boasts an amazing beer selection and a great variety of tequilas. Whether you're a craft beer lover or a tequila enthusiast, there’s something for you. And if you love a good cocktail, their Bloody Mary and Bloody Maria are absolute game-changers—especially with the bacon garnish! The bartenders—Jen, Chris, and Makynzie—are fantastic. They know their craft, mix up killer drinks, and keep the good times rolling. Every server here goes above and beyond to make sure your meal, drinks, and overall experience are nothing short of excellent. If you haven’t been to Tap House Sports Grill yet, it’s time to change that. Whether you're stopping by for a meal, drinks, or just to enjoy the atmosphere, you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommended!“

“I came to this establishment when it first opened. I had a horrible experience. Food was cold. Waitress was rude , had an attitude like if you don’t like it go else where. Spoke to a manager and I remember him shrugging his shoulder and said we just opened. Trying to iron out the kinks. I vowed to never come again After yrs. I stopped by. Was craving the grand slam. I was very impressed with the greeting. Food was good and hot. Waitress Erika was outstanding. All staff very attentive. Smiling. Fast service. It made a big difference from my prior visit. Friendly and attentive staff make one feel welcomed and you want to return Thank you Dennys“

Nothing special about teh fry sauce,which they sell in big bottles. The burger was dry and needed sauce of some sort but teen son liked the Freddy’s burger better than In-N-Out.“

“There was a time where the food was not that good. It seemed the cook didnt put much effort. Now the food is delicious. Hot. Flavorful. The loaded potato soup is creamy, not too cheesy nor salty. The chips are crispy. Strawberry lemonade cold and sweet. Fries are crispy from the outside and soft and hot from the inside. I got the 3 for me. Old timers cheesburger. 10.99. Great price and great food. We all have different experiences, mine have been well so I give it a 5. Thanks Chillis!!“

The service from top to bottom was exceptional and appreciated. Our server, Melissa, was able to have conversations with us without being a distraction from the food. Matt, the manager, was genuine in how he solved our issue. It was a fantastic experience and combined w/ the quality of food, we will be back for date night.“

“Raising Cane's from any location is great and always tastes amazing but I have to say this about this location; well done fries are THE BEST and this is the only location in the valley that actually delivers them well done. I've asked at so many locations and they agree, I even see it on the receipt when I ask for it. But, no other location seems to ever actually do it except for this one. Their fries are freaking fantastic when they're well done, no flop, not burned. Just crispy and amazing with their sauce. Thank you for your well done fries and for being the best location we have out here.“

As well the shrimp basket as an appetizer - perfectly cooked shrimp with a light batter. The Meatloaf was just okay; it's great if you're a fan of gravy. The service was good, and the prices were quite reasonable. Overall, a solid spot for a satisfying meal!“

I like to get those with a Big Steak Omelette and coffee. It's like the ultimate anytime meal. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert all rolled into one meal and you can get it to go. NOICE!“
