Really, we only came in for beer but ended up ordering fries. They had a good variety of beer and the price for a side of fries was good and the perfect snack for the two of us. Cool spot!

We used to go to Tap Room every Friday night but since new owners took over we have only been three times and had bad experiences every time. The menu is similar but the recipes changed. The fries used to be the best anywhere but now are thicker, not as crispy, and covered with seasoning. The burger was different and not near as good as it used to be. I ordered a dozen raw oysters and one of them was black and “off” ( the rest were fine but why put a bad oyster on the plate.) The service has gone downhill too. Only two guys working and they never checked if we needed refills on anything. Plus, what’s with the plastic cups? Why can’t water and soft drinks be served in glass like they had been? I can’t imagine how much plastic they are tossing into landfill in a coastal town. And finally on our last visit the men’s room toilet had poo spread all over the bottom of the seat and I noticed this after following one of the two employees in, yet clearly he ignored it. Again, I hate to leave a review like this because it was always a great place we brought visitors to but the food is now disappointing and service lackadaisical And the bathroom grossed us out, not to mention the black oyster. We sadly won’t be back.

Not as we remembered, had been a few years since our last visit. Gone was the great selection of beers and the fish tacos and sandwich were fried. Loved this restaurant in 2019, now it is below par for the area.

Service was great...I ordered the ribeye medium, and asked for NO greens...I got my steak swimming in greens juice. They smelled so bad and the mashed potatoes were disgusting, swimming in that mess and salted to the sky. The steak was eviscerated to a full well done temp. Avoid this place, they no longer have a chef and the food is disgusting.

Limited menu due to remodeling, but the triple tail fish sandwich was delicious and the beer was outstanding! Great service! I highly recommend The Owl Tap Room. We will be back.
Sad to say that after almost 10 years of being our go-to, the Taproom is off our list entirely now that it has new ownership (a hospitality group). The handful of signature items that are still on the menu, like the duck confit fries, just aren't up to snuff now, and the beer selection is greatly diminished. The staff seemed disinterested in us even being there. It's such a shame.

We had dinner in the Owl Cafe, not the tap room. But we had bad experiences at both. I don’t know what has changed, but this is not the Owl I’ve known. Our family eats upstairs every Friday evening after Thanksgiving. It’s always been fantastic. We haven’t been here since last year (11/2022). We noticed immediately that the menu and the staff appeared very different. Our server was prompt and friendly. But it was clear this was no longer a white table cloth restaurant. We had a party of 8. Everyone’s entree was over cooked. Our salads were good but two of us never got the salad ordered. Another one of our party never got her appetizer. At the end of our meal we were told their credit card machine was broken and we would need to pay cash. They told us where an ATM machine was and my husband complied. Our server said this had been happening all week and she was terribly embarrassed? It was simply a miserable dining experience. After so many years of wonderful meals there, we will not be returning.

every since the new owners took over the tap room and the owl the service and the food have taken a major dive in quality.Me and my family walked in the the room and the place was Filthy.There was food all over the floor and the staff didn’t even care . Te tables were not clean and wiped down. The servers look like a bunch of Drug attics.The owners should be ashamed of themselves for letting a nice place run down like this.We left there and went to the owl restaurantAnd it was just as bad if not worse.Then I found out they had the same same owners White Sands InvestmentThat explains everything.Vegetarian options: This place is FilthyGo somewhere else
Love this place! Special Memories Here!
