We started out with the cheese curds (I did get a picture of these, but forgot to take it until we'd eaten maybe 5 or 6 of these before I remembered to do so). Even accounting for how many we ate before I took the picture, there weren't a huge number of these, certainly less than I had expected given their price.
I got the melt with ham and fries on the side, and my wife got the BLT with onion rings. Both sandwiches tasted good, but were much smaller than I had expected given the price charged for them.
The fries were good as well, cooked so as to be crisp but not burned, and well salted. I cannot say how the onion rings were, as I'm not generally a fan, but my wife ate all of them, so I suspect they were also good.
Overall, good food and good service, just small portion sizes for the price, which made me rate them a bit low. I'd recommend eating here so long as you understand that will be the case.

We had the worst experience we have ever had at an eating establishment in the Metro. The place was really busy on a Saturday night and they were clearly understaffed behind the bar, those waiting tables, and the kitchen.
It started with our group waiting 20 minutes before our drink order was taken. Then the drinks, which were mostly beer, didn't arrive for another 30 minutes. This was after the waitress came back to us to ask us what we had ordered.
The food only added to the poor experience. This place advertises themself as being gluten friendly, and someone in our group was very gluten sensitive. That person ordered a burger with a gluten free bun (which they got right) and no onion strings (hence the gluten sensitivity). They brought it out with the onion strings on it, and then charged us for the inedible sandwich, despite talking to our server.
Other food highlights included a turkey melt that had one little piece of turkey and a piece of cheese.
During our time there, nothing was done to try and make our experience better. I'm sure we were not the only group that night that experienced such bad service and food.

I ordered through GrubHub for delivery. I ordered the tenderloin (crispy) with curly fries. I also paid for Mac and cheese. The food arrived still warm, the tenderloin had a nice crisp texture and good flavor. The Mac and cheese were lacking in appearance but made up for it in flavor. The curly fries were non-existent I was disappointed at this discovery. While not a GrubHub created issue, I let them know items were missing and was quickly refunded for the missing fries. As for Beaver Tap, the is so much potential here, you just need to get it right; the first time, and every time.

Very unique bar. The service was excellent. The food was excellent and had their own spin on combinations of flavors.

Just almost like old times. Missing a pool tablet and front door, and they added a kitchen. Great personal and experience. I would definitely go again.
