Description

A recently remodeled neighborhood tap house offers a lively, family-friendly spot with patio seating, TVs, trivia nights, and solid pub staples—soft pretzels, crispy tots, and a hefty chicken sandwich stand out.

However, service and event fulfillment are inconsistent: slow or inattentive servers, staff confusion over tables, and an unresolved children's event left guests frustrated. Worth a visit for the food and upgraded atmosphere, but be prepared for uneven service and occasional operational hiccups.

I'm truly disappointed to write a one-star review, and I would rate it zero if that were an option. We visited last week for dinner and were seated right away on the patio. We were excited to be there because the weather was perfect and we had heard the food was fantastic. However, we waited for about 30 minutes while other tables, which were seated after us, received attention from the waitstaff. Not a single waitress stopped by our table. At one point, a staff member came out and looked at us, but instead of approaching us, she went to a table two down that had been seated after us. By the time we left, we hadn't even received water, and we were extremely disappointed. On our way out, we spoke with the manager, who did offer us a certificate for our next visit. While I appreciate the gesture, I hope the staff can improve their awareness of who has been seated and when.

Tap House Grill is one of my favorite places in Plainfield. We began our meal with the soft pretzel sticks, which set the stage for an excellent dining experience. The pretzels came with both cheese sauce and honey mustard dip. Honey mustard is a personal favorite of mine, so I favored that sauce a bit more. For my main course, I chose the Crispy Beer-Battered Chicken Melt. I must admit, I was taken aback to find two gigantic chicken breasts on the sandwich—I guess I need to work on my reading skills! Despite its size, it was incredibly tasty. As for my side, I went with tater tots, which were equally delicious; they had a perfect crunch on the outside and were soft on the inside. Overall, it was a fantastic meal, and I can’t wait to come back!

They even had a charming little dessert table, which was a lovely addition. I really wish they hosted brunch like this more often because it was absolutely delightful. Our server was fantastic—very helpful and attentive to our needs. Taphouse has really transformed from what it used to be, with upgraded decor and much higher quality food. I plan to visit more frequently, especially in the summer when I can enjoy sitting outside. This place deserves a better rating; it’s a shame so many old reviews still linger. It’s definitely not the same place anymore—it's much improved!

Went for a trivia night. The host was great, the tvs had multiple games going, the food was play for me. Could have used a little more flavor on the sliders without having to dip it in the juice that came with it. But overall good experience.

Love the remodel- it's totally different inside and looks great! My friend I went for lunch on Sunday 12/4/22. My Island burger was good although overcooked. I love their ranch dressing which I had on my side salad. She enjoyed her wrap and alcoholic drink. I would definitely go back but probably order someone other than a burger.
