It was..interesting. Went there on a Thursday night, 1 person on the bar side, maybe 20 ppl on the dining side. Took quite a while for a server to get to us. They had just opened at 4 and were already out of the soup of the day at ten minutes to 6, so that seems like poor planning. Ordered a steak & a burger - medium. 40 minutes goes by and our server comes out and says our food will be up soon just about 8 more minutes on the steak....we looked at each other, 8 MORE minutes for a medium steak? đł by the time the food came it had been an hour, had a feeling the burger would be too done at that point, and it was - more like medium well. Opted not to get it recooked just said I'd eat the fries because I was hungry and didn't want to wait 30 more minutes. The steak was edible but not a consistent medium throughout, half was gray the other half pink. Maybe they cooked it on one side under a broiler? Who knows. The onion strings were good, probably the best part of the meal. No one management wise came out to check with us about the issue with our food, and when we got the check they actually charged us for the fries, lol. Which, no big deal, but from a professional standpoint wouldn't you have probably said, just call it a wash since the meal got screwed up? Anyway, it seems like their focus is more on the alcohol portion of their business maybe. We had been wanting to try this place for a while, now that we have we most likely won't be back. Unless we get an onion straw craving lol.

Food was absolutely amazing. I love every bit of this experience. Happened to come during happy hour and the waitress informed us of that so we got a good deal on appetizers and wings. Very very good atmosphere. From MD. Had a funeral to attend in the area. If I'm ever in the area again I will absolutely make sure to revisit this location. The food was great and came out fast. Highly highly recommended I got their veggie pizza. Yes they also have a pizza menu and it's great. It was called veggie flix and chill. All vegetarian pizza. It was superb. Chef's kiss.

New chef and food is not what it once was. We had fish and chips and mussels with linguini. The fries were old and soggy and the fish batter was very greasy. The linguini was very mushy. Obvious the food sits around. Service was 3 star. Food was left on our table after we ate. Love the atmosphere.

Huge fan of the place. Good environment, service with a smile, a beer list that seems like somebody really thought about it. We loved the street corn dip, the pork rinds were amazing, even our daughter's chicken tenders were positively picturesque.
One piece of constructive criticism: the fried shrimp appetizer needs to be either done in seasoned flour or done in a light batter like a tempura rather than the thick batter that's currently being used. The cooked shrimp are putting moisture into the fried batter and it's like a soggy pancake around the shrimp. At least the one we got.

Went to old rapp taphouse for the first and last time. All staff members were sitting at a table and ignored us. We asked for help and no one moved. Just stared at us from a corner table joking around. No one was behind the bar. 50 cent rap music was blasting. Terrible experience, if I was the owner I would have been mortified by the staff

I love going during the happy hour of the 1 wings and shrimp. The shrimp was delicious as always but the wings we disappointing compared to the other multiple times I have been there for group dinners. Really felt like I wasted $75 on food we packed just to throw away the next day.
Solid restaurant with a wide array of food choices from standard american fare (burgers and sandwiches) to seafood choices and daily specials. There's also a brewery section a few doors down more focused on drinks. The pulled pork sandwich was good but not remarkable, and my family enjoyed their burgers.
One of our meals were overcooked, but our excellent server Makayla quickly and professionally handled it, and brought us a replacement. Besides this the food and drinks were fantastic.

This use to be one of our favorite restaurants. Always brought our guests here. Sadly, we went there last night and were extremely disappointed. I was really looking forward to the fried banana peppers which are sadly no longer on the menu. Ordered my favorite, seared tuna taco. What I received was a soft tortilla with lettuce and 2 pieces of tuna on it with a pineapple salsa (x3). It was very disappointing, flavorless and very different from what it used to be. The burger my friend ordered crumbled in his mouth. First time I have ever seen them not finish a burger. The one good note was that the wait staff was still exceptional.

Good, but service is slow and the food is def overpriced!
The hostess girl didn't assign a waitress to our table and we had to wait ages, she let us sit there and did nothing. Yet somehow she appeared super quickly when cash came out. Hope she isn't taking tips from that waitress!

Went there today and the service was exceptionally slow. We got there a lil after it opened at 3:00, ordered appetizers and even placed our order about ten minutes laterâit took an about an hour and half to get our food after ordering. We did have a party of â6âhowever there was a table next to us with a party of â6â that came in after us and received their food before us. It seemed other people coming in after us got their order before us. I donât like the automatic tip applied on the bill based on your check amount. Although our waitress was nice but the whole experience from start to finish was just not good. I donât think I would visit this business again, the food was just okay and mostly all the meals were overly seasoned. I have been there before and the food and service was amazing but this trip and experience I would probably rate a 2 out of 5. Please let the customer decide the tip amount and not have a predetermined amount already applied to your bill.

The brisket french fries⊠the absolute best; they were so delicious. Totally recommend them. Iâve been here with friends and family multiple times and have never ever had a bad meal. The servers are kind and friendly and best of all, they recently got some gluten-free options for the entrĂ©es. I canât wait to go back Thank you for a wonderful meal!
