    BLT and fries
    Niki R.

    This place is really good. It is a relaxed location. The menu has a lot to offer. Service is fast and they are very knowledgeable in what they offer. We try to visit different brewers as we travel and this is one we would recommend.

    The first dip

    Excellent, excellent service. Food came out quick , and refills were seamless and very attentive service. I will say there were not many people present when we came but still commendable service! Starting with the pretzels, I liked the pretzels a lot, but there was way too much salt on them (I brushed 90% off of it). The cheese was ok. It was warm and tasted like most Nacho cheeses, and it was not very beer-like. The pizza arrived hot and looked spectacular. The Bacon Lover's Pickle pizza had ranch sauce, pieces of dill pickles, bacon, and fried pickles! The fried pickles were my favorite! I wish they had them as an appetizer! Overall, it is a great chill and casual atmosphere with good food and service! I will be back to try other food items and try out the beer selection!

    I wanted to like this place- cozy and beautiful old building with what looked like appetizing and varied pub menu, but they cut corners in all the wrong places. We looked at the Brewhouse Burger, but you had to pay 25 cents for each veg that you wanted on the burger; 25 cents for Lettuce, .25 more for tomato, and another for Onions, Pickles and another for Cheese- which is understandable, but they also consider Fries a Premium side which again seems a little chintzy. Sides that did come with the burger, were: Slaw, Potato Chips, Potato Salad Mac and Cheese or Apple Sauce, but fries are extra. We did order The Memphis sandwich, which was delicious! Like the burger though, fries are extra but at least you don't need to pay an extra $1.25 to get it as it should already come. I ordered the Bacon and Blue Salad which sounded really good as it boasts of a lettuce BLEND but when it came out was old, Iceberg but there was not a bit of another type of lettuce in that salad. It was terrible. The lettuce was like eating a paper towel, no flavor at all and soggy texture. Its a shame too, to make your own salad dressing, use real bacon and blue cheese and then go the cheap route of Iceberg lettuce by itself. We did take it home for the chickens though. The Fried Pickles were burned on 1 side and the breading was not thoroughly cooked on the other. I ordered a half Sweet and Half unsweetened Tea which, I thought maybe the waitress just didn't put enough Sweet tea in, so I drank 3 inches and asked her to top it off with sweet but still, there was not sugar taste to the tea. I brought this up to the waitress but all she had to say was "do you want some sugar?". Not at all concerned that the Sweet tea had been made incorrectly, nor did she go and check it. The beer comes served in a 12 oz. Jar which is a cutesy touch but does not take the place of a frosted mug. I didn't not order a Bloody Mary be as they only have the cheapo Zing Zang. The service was okay but not friendly and there didn't seem to be a lot of engagement with the food or business. I'm always intrigued when the menu goes a different direction than the typical area fare, so I asked a question about the Greek food offerings and was told there was no particular reason. So, all and all, it isn't a place that I'd wish to take another shot at. I gave it a 3 because there is potential here, but they could definitely change a few things. 12 oz beer, Iced Tea, Salad, Sandwich and Fried Pickles- $37 and change plus tip.

    We had two sandwiches. The Chicken Chipotle and the Chicken Bacon Ranch. Both were very tasty and full servings. My friend took part if her chicken home as a left over. We tried two beers, we preferred the Bare Foot Buzz Lemon Shandy.

    So I admit I may have a drinking problem. More specifically, a craft beer drinking problem. Working in the area, had me talking to a few locals about good places to go. Bee's Knees Brewery happened to come up each time, so I punched it into Yelp and hit the directions button. Before I knew it, I was on my way to an awesome craft experience. There's a wonderful blend of brews from at least a half a dozen taps, and a hefty menu to boot. The staff was over the top nice, and it was great to so welcomed. I ended up coming back MULTIPLE times to enjoy their flights. I didn't get a chance to try the food menu, but if their pizza buffet is any indication, the rest of the food has to be great. If I ever make it back to the area, I'm definitely stopping back in for some more good beer and good times. I added their logo to my hard hat if that's any indication of my review!

    Amazing pizza, unbelievable price for the lake, and the beer is top notch! Will make this a regular stop at the lake.

    Well this place has horrendous service. We stood at the food bar for awhile they helped several other people but not is when they offered to help the next two next to us we left because forget it. It's not worth our time if you guys don't care. So glad we drove out of our way for nothing. If you go just expect horrible service and them to not care.

    Good beer, good food. Pizza was good other than the dough could be more done. To chewy.

    IPA was delicious. Very impressed as far as non-hazy IPAs go. Food was fine. Had the chicken bacon ranch sandwich with fries.

    Our in-laws took us "kids" (really just a group of adults aged 25+) to Tap + Grill on Friday…read moremorning, and we had such a good time that we came back again Saturday! We got there right when they opened since we were a group of 8 and wanted to make sure we could grab a spot. The pool fills up quickly, but the water stays surprisingly cool and refreshing even with a crowd definitely not like a warm bath. The drinks were also very reasonably priced, which was a nice surprise since everything at the lake seems more expensive than KC. We also got to meet DJ Mike, who noticed my Boulevard hat and started a fun conversation about being from Lee's Summit. He was a blast great music, fun games, and kept the energy going. My fiancé and I also shared a poke bowl, it's a lot smaller of a portion than if you were to go the ramen/poke bowl place. For a steep price of $24 but it was good to try. It's the perfect lake spot for a fun atmosphere, and we'll definitely be back!

    Very fun atmosphere. DJ Mike definitely set the tone and there were lots of fun activities. Pool…read morewas very clean and cold. Drinks were priced decently. The poke bowl was good, but it was on the smaller side. The bowl was ready within a minute or so. We went on a Friday and Saturday about when they opened so we could have a table for our large group. It may be difficult to find a spot if you show up later in the day.
