this is not axe and palm anymore. this is awful, overpriced crap with the same business name. no vegetarian options, no salmon, no bison, no waffle fries. this business needs to fail so something better can move in, stop giving them money.
TAP is usually an awesome late night dining spot. However, they have no crowd control whatsoever. Tonight, I waited for 45 minutes for my food, which was already cooked, ready, and cold, before I eventually gave up without even trying to obtain a refund. This was unacceptable service. I know TAP is a beloved campus spot, but this oversight is egregious and must be called to attention.
This place has great Stanford sports paraphernalia, but instead of having a photo of a random golfer, they should really have a photo of TIGER WOODS. I mean, Andrew Luck is already on the wall, twice.
Waited 30 mins for my order 15 of which it was just sitting on the counter while the employee ignored the sitting orders. Sucks this is the only late night food we can reasonably get :/
It is a perfect place to go to dinner after studying or simply to have a drink with friends. Quite affordable prices and good food. The service is sometimes quite slow and perhaps I would change the way the food is delivered to be more efficient.

Me: Can we have good late-night food?
R&DE: We have good late-night food at Stanford
The good late-night food at Stanford:
In all seriousness, TAP could be worse. However, it sucks that I even have to say that as a defense for the place. I may have been here for just over a year, but I recall when TAP was *slightly* better. The prices were just a tad lower, you could get as many sauces as you want for free, and they had waffle fries that always satisfied my late night cravings. Now, those are pretty much all gone. They reformatted the menu so that you have to pay more for some of their previously offered items; each tiny little sauce cup costs 49 cents instead of being free; waffle fries are no longer a stand-alone option (you can only get it as part of a temporary special). I no longer feel desire to come here. If you need to eat something, the food is edible. But the charm that made the Axe & Palm somewhat attractive, in my eyes, has disappeared.

I got the Immortal 21, which had usually come with 6 tenders, and I only got 4. I asked a staff member there how many it usually comes with, and they said 6. But when I told them I only got 4, another staff member told me they only give out 4 now.I looked at all the menus and they had REMOVED any description of how many tenders the menu items includes. It just says "Crispy chicken tenders" now, when it used to tell you 6.Obviously, they reduced the number of tenders they're giving, and updated the menu to be more vague, to scam Stanford students. There is literally no other reason they would update the description to remove the number of tenders.I asked for two more but they said no.Don't support a business that is trying to scam you. Never coming here again.

This used to be a cheap place to eat. Now they serve frozen hamburgers for $17...If only my stipend inflated this much

As others have mentioned, over the last several years, quality and portion sizes have sharply declined, while prices have sharply increased. Not a good combination.

TAP has inflated their prices and cut costs so much in the last year that they serve worse quality food for a higher price than lakeside and now even doordash is a cheaper option. It’s absolutely disgusting what R&DE does to its own students.

Pretty good food on campus, use your meal plan dollars if you have them. Chipotle sauce is the best for chicken tenders or burgers.
