“Normally our time goes well when we go to Brass Tap in Cedar Falls. Unfortunately we did not have a good experience on our most recent visit, Friday June 7th, 7:00pm. We went for dinner fully expecting it to be busy, which was fine. We sat at the bar for 10 minutes, while the lead bartender lady and trainee COMPLETELY IGNORED US. The bar was dirty, and needed wiped down. A nice waiter finally came, asked us what we wanted to drink, and gave us food menus. Unfortunately he did not return to take our orders. I did look at the menu for a while, but still come back to check on us. We are now 30 minutes into our experience, and the bartender, along with the girl she is failing to train behind the bar, still have not said a thing to us. My boyfriend asks the women if we can order, and the lead bartender walked away, didn't say a word, and left the trainee to fend for herself. It was very clear she needed help. We eventually got our food order in. The food came out fast for how many people were there. It was cooked well, and we took home what was left over. I had to ask for our silverware, napkins, refill, and check. Not once did the lead bartender talk to us. Not once did we get checked on. We asked for everything we needed. Just crazy how she could talk to everyone around us, but not us. Not a word. The trainee was super nice, but it was very clear no one was training her. We will be back, because my boyfriend loves that place. We will NOT be at the bar, and really hope the service is better next time.“

Our waitress Meghan was the sweetest, and a couple of the staff thanked us on the way out! Our food was absolutely delicious! The only complaint I have, which actually isn't, is that I ordered my steak medium-rare and it arrived medium. It was still buttery and tender! Recommend 10 out of 10!“

“Have lived in CF for a year, and have tried all the normal places people tell you to try for pizza.

I wish I would have found this a year ago. Thin crust Tony’s Special was outstanding. We also ordered the NY-style pizza, vegetarian.

One of the things I miss about living in a bigger city is good food options. We have a handful of good restaurants in CF, and this is one of them. Best pizza in CF, and one that would do well in a big city.

Last, thin crust pizza has egg in the batter, if you have allergies. The NY style does not, and is safe for people with egg allergies.

Dang fine job, Tony’s.“

“This place used to be a traditional restaurant where you are seated, order, and the food is taken to you.

Not sure when, but this was changed. You now order at the front, seat yourself, and your food is delivered. Either way, it's fine by me.

The food is fine with plenty of options. It seemed kind of dead both times we were there, but if they're open then it's probably fine. I liked it here. Staff were great both times. Definitely give it a shot next time you're around this area.

Dietary restrictions: Have a family member with gluten allergy that was able to eat here.

Parking: Be careful. There are a decent amount of spots, but people use this parking lot like a shortcut and fly through it at all times throughout the day.“
