Tap House Grill - Norfolk

Tap House has a wide range of vegan options, including a faux chicken sandwich that can be fried or grilled, an Beyond Burger that can be presented in various ways (a fungus version, a Tex Mex version, no Bland Burger here, fish and chips (Gardein, and more. The fried pimples are vegan without the Remoulade. You have vegan Mayo and usually choose several vegan cheeses. The fries are well seasoned and they also have buckets of perpetrators. (A few non-fried vegan options, but let's be honest, I never made it so far. A variety of beers, and always choose a few cedars. Definitely the place for you if you are after a greasy vegan food and a beer or two.

Don 't expect fancy...Tap House is a bar; kind of a scuzzy bar. But it has an unusually broad selection of vegetarian vegan food for a Norfolk restaurant a patio that 's pleasant around happy hour on pretty days. We hadn 't been for about a year because last time we went, the vegan chili was too spicy to eat. But yesterday was beautiful, so we tried a revisit. I had the tofu-faux chicken (Gardien, I was told) stir fry found it passable but not worthy of ordering again. The veggie selection was great the dish had plenty of the chix, although I found no tofu. The problem was too much oil little flavor. The Asian sauce seemed like nothing more than olive oil. The entire dish was swimming in the sauce. In fact, there was a large amount (severance tablespoons) of what appeared to be oil left in the dish at the end. On a better note, my husband 's lettuce wraps were FABULOUS! He had several large romaine leaves served w/ nicely seasoned grilled faux chicken, slaw, some chopped side veggies to put in the wraps, a small cup of what seemed like prefab Asian sweet chili sauce. He also ordered a cup of vegan chili, which was hearty. Service was slow last night, but they were having some kind of problem. We haven 't had problems in the past. Overall, in a community without a lot of great vegan restaurants, Taphouse will remain on our list for when the weather is great. Updated from previous review on 2014-08-09

It is literally the best rendition of chicken iv had in my 6 years vegetarian and coming up on 5 vegan, i highly recommend it... the chili fries on the other hand, not so much but i don't usually like chili anyway so maybe it would be delicious to someone else :

I ordered the veggie burger and it was very good and not just a cooked boca burger. Although I never tried the veggie chicken there, I have heard it is quite amazing as well.

As of this post they are reworking the kitchen, so the vegan chili fries are off the menu, but the vegan burger and chicken sandwiches are still on. Ordered both quite good. The burger seemed a little too good, actually, so I stared at it for a while to make sure I wasn't eating real beef. The bar side atmosphere is great, but unfortunately that's the smoking side. Less interesting on the non smoking side, but still cool. Fantastic beer selection, w/ 32 on tap. For those also trying to save the planet by not getting bottled beer, this is heaven. I love college towns where you're always likely to find places that are vegan friendly AND serve hooch. Definitely making this a requirement everytime I have a business trip down that way.
