“Restaurant Review: Tower Tap House - Little Elm, TX

Tower Tap House in Little Elm offers more than just a scenic lakeside view—it's a great spot for casual eats and good vibes. On a recent visit, I sampled the stuffed jalapeños and the chef salad, and both dishes impressed me.

The stuffed jalapeños were a perfect blend of spicy and savory. Packed with a creamy filling, likely a mix of cheese and sausage, they had a satisfying kick without being overpoweringly hot. The crispy outer layer added a delightful crunch, and they were served with a dipping sauce that complemented the flavors nicely. If you're a fan of jalapeño poppers, these are a must-try.

On the lighter side, the chef salad was fresh and well-executed. It came loaded with generous portions of grilled chicken, cheese, boiled eggs, and crisp vegetables. The greens were fresh and crunchy, and the salad itself was big enough to be a full meal. It was a great option for something healthier yet filling, especially paired with the beautiful waterside views. Hydros is next door and they have water skiers of all talents going around the lake.

The casual, laid-back atmosphere at Tower Tap House makes it a great spot to unwind, whether you're grabbing drinks with friends or enjoying a meal with family. With the combination of quality food and the scenic lakeside location, it's definitely worth a visit when in Little Elm. It definitely has an Austin vibe! They have indoor and outdoor seating, yesterday was such a gorgeous day that I enjoyed sitting on the patio with a book. I’ve been to Tower Tap House many times over the years, definitely one of my favorites!
