My husband and I have been going here for years. Went this afternoon for a quick bite and learned…read morethat several of the longtime staff have left. That was a major disappointment. After we paid our bill with a credit card, I noticed that we were charged a 3% credit card fee. That was a first, and likely began in April since our last visit was on 3/24/26 and no credit card fee was assessed. Nowhere on the menu was it mentioned there would be a credit card fee, nor was it articulated by a bartender. That sort of fee makes me wonder what's going on in this establishment. Not sure we'll be back.

We've been regulars here for a long time, and I'm surprised I never took the time to write a…read morereview. This is easily one of our favorite places in Allen. We've tried a wide variety of items on the menu over the years, and everything has been consistently fresh, flavorful, and high quality. Whether we're stopping in for a quick bite or staying to watch a game, the food never disappoints. The beer selection is outstanding, with an impressive variety of draft and bottled options ranging from crisp lagers and wheat beers to IPAs, porters, and stouts. Fun tip - if you order a German beer, it's served in a traditional 0.5-liter glass, which adds to the experience. The atmosphere is exactly what you're looking for in a neighborhood sports bar. There are TVs everywhere, plenty of seating, and a lively but comfortable vibe that's perfect for catching a game with friends or family. They also host a variety of events throughout the year, making every visit a little different. One of my favorite nights is Pint Night, where you receive a complimentary pint glass featuring the selected beer with your purchase. It's a great promotion and just another reason we keep coming back. If you're looking for great food, an incredible beer selection, and a welcoming atmosphere, this place is hard to beat. It's our go-to spot in Allen, and I highly recommend it.

We decided to try Brass Tap again tonight for dinner. We have been here once before about 3 years…read moreago and it was ok, nothing too memorable - nothing horrible. Food was ok. So, we thought - why not, it's close- let's go and see if we like it better this time. Let's start with the positives. We arrived shortly after 5pm and the place was pretty empty so we were seated right away. The server was friendly and immediately took our drink orders. She was attentive and service was fast. No complaints with her service at all. It seemed pretty chill and low key. A few people trickled in but nothing crazy for a Saturday night. We ordered the pretzel appetizer and I was pleasantly surprised. The color of the pretzel had me fooled. It was pretty dark in color which usually indicates overdone and hard so when it was amazingly soft inside - wow! So good! We loved the mustard and cheese sauce that came with it. My husband and son ordered a burger and said they were tasty, my other son ordered the chicken strips and said they were good. Negative for the meal, I ordered the blackened cod tacos and subbed the chips and salsa for the Gilroy Garlic Fries. I was very excited for the garlic fries since we are originally from that area and are very knowledgeable about the famous Gilroy Garlic Festival and all things Garlic. Here's where this dish wasn't exciting - the tacos were pretty bland. I took the coleslaw from my son's chicken tenders to try and add more flavor and make the taco more palatable. I only ate 1 of the 2 because there really was just zero flavor. The fries were probably an even greater disappointment. In the center, was a very small amount of cheese and maybe garlic? It had virtually zero garlic taste - I was searching for it. It was a sad version of garlic fries. I would not order that again unless they were improved upon. I went back and forth on 3 stars versus 4 stars because while service was great and fast, I can't confidently say I'd recommend it to someone. I may say it's a great place to chill for a beer and an appetizer but definitely NOT a meal. I think if your expectations are to stick with the appetizer list then you're probably going to like it. They have a large beer selection and plenty of screens for your favorite games.

My date was drinking beer. The server got several samples so he could decide which was his favorite. My date had the fish and chips which he said was exceptional. It looked hot and crispy with a huge portion of both the fish and the chips. I had the Korean Tacos. These are made with shrimp and they did not skimp on the shrimp. There was a generous portion of delicious kimchi and slaw. This was such a good flavor. The taco shell was crunchy and just the combination exploded and was no problem in eating every bite. They served it with nachos and queso as the side. I just didn't have room for it. Lots of parking, good food and an abundance of choices for drinks. This is a great choice of restaurants. I will definitely be back.

When we…read moreshowed up, it was exactly where I wanted to be due to the unique atmosphere and laid back Texas vibe. Grabbing their delicious frozen cocktails in a souvenir cowboy boot made the experience super fun but the best part of this place is the Toilet Seat Museum! What the what?!? You do need to down a few before heading to the second floor of this massive indoor/outdoor extravaganza. It's one of the most bizarre museums I have ever been to. All the servers were extremely friendly and our bartender even went out of his way to clean our boots and fill them with water for the uber ride home. This place is a must stop!

Cheesesteak Only Review: 5/10, It's a unique take on a cheesesteak, but won't scratch that itch if…read moreyou're looking for a traditional cheesesteak (say from known Philly spots like Angelo's, Steve's, Dalessandro's, etc). If they worked the cheese into the meat and/or upgraded their roll, it's got a chance for a higher score. My order: Philly with provolone and onions. Bread: Generic roll. Too much roll vs cheese/steak. Steak: Ribeye. Thicker cut - unique take. Cheese: Provolone. Good portion and taste. Not worked into steak. Onions: Thicker cut. Well cooked. Other: Size of cheesesteak is about half of that of a traditional Philly cheesesteak. And combination of too much roll vs. cheese/steak as well as the steak not being worked into the meat often leaves you with the individual taste of either roll, cheese, or steak throughout the sandwich.

The restaurant itself has a real cool hip vibe, definitely up my alley. I ordered myself the beer cheese-steak (with fries) and a blue sapphire cocktail - these. were. AMAZING! They even have a "micro brewers menu" aka kids menu, my son chose the mini smashburgers with chips. He loved it so much, there was nothing left on his plate at the end. They have a bunch of board games available to use while dining so my son and I grabbed a Jurassic Park matching game, this was a super fun activity to do together while munching away. We had a wonderful time here and will surely be back soon. :)

I'll start with the positives, this location has so much potential! I love that there's a brewery…read moreright on Main Street. What a fantastic addition to the community. The decor and theme are inspired by New Orleans/Creole/Cajun vibes, and it's beautifully put together. The layout of the location is a slight "L" shape, so seating can be a bit limited during busy times. It's a seat-yourself setup, and they provide QR codes at the tables for you to place your order and pay when you're ready. Now, onto the food and service. Unfortunately, the wait for both food and drinks were longer than expected, even as the rush began to die down. Our pretzel appetizer didn't arrive until near the end of our meal, and sadly, it was overcooked. Drinks The beer was great and a definite highlight of the experience. Here's what we ordered: Appetizers Giant Pub Pretzel ($13.99): A 12.05 oz pretzel served with signature beer cheese and beer mustard. Unfortunately, this dish was a disappointment. Despite being called "Giant," the pretzel was thin, and was a bit overcooked. While we enjoyed the beer cheese, the beer mustard could have stayed in the kitchen. Loaded Broccoli ($8.99): Steamed broccoli seasoned with Cajun spices, topped with melted cheese and your choice of chicken, beef, or pulled pork. I chose chicken, which was delicious and well-seasoned. However, the cheese was a huge letdown, it had an odd, roux-like texture and flavor that nearly made the dish inedible. Entrée Voo-Dill Pickle Pizza ($12.99): Made with roasted garlic pesto, fresh mozzarella, thick-cut pickles, and a special Voo-Dill seasoning. While the concept was intriguing, the execution fell short. The pizza crust was undercooked, and the pickles seemed like they were added at the very end instead of being baked with the pizza. The garlic pesto was the highlight of this dish. Desserts -King Cake Slice ($3.XX): Clearly store-bought and not made in-house. It also took a while to reach our table, which was odd considering it's pre-packaged. The kitchen area even had the King Cake box visible. Beignets ($7.99): Over-fried and served with icing that was overly lemony, which overpowered the dish. Side Order Jalapeño Slaw ($2.99): The star of the meal! It had the perfect balance of mayo and vinegar, with a fresh kick from the jalapeños and Cajun spices. I wish I had ordered more! I think this place has a lot of potential. The concept is fantastic, but the kitchen needs improvement. I do plan to return and give it another try because the space and the idea are great. Hopefully, next time the food lives up to the vision!

We expected service to take a little longer because of how busy it was, but Dustin made sure that we received amazing service! He continued to check on us to make sure we were well hydrated in whatever beverage of our choosing while we waited for our food orders. The food all came out hot and fresh. My husband and I chose the Armor signature burger and I decided to have a side of chili instead of fries and man was that filling! The chili had big chunks of beef in there and didn't have any beans. The cornbread was very moist and delicious with a little kick from the jalapeño. The burger was also very tender. My kids really enjoyed the Milwaukee pretzels because of how soft it was. It had the perfect mixture of sweet and salty and was very fluffy for a pretzel. Overall, I truly enjoyed coming here with my family for the food and great selection of beer.
