We visited Black Tap for my birthday and it was absolutely perfect! We made reservations in advance and arrived a few minutes early. Knowing we'd be diving into a huge dessert, we opted to skip the appetizer! I ordered the Wagyu Steakhouse Burger, 1/2 pound wagyu beef, bacon, pepper jack cheese, crispy onions, A1 sauce & roasted garlic mayo... it was A M A Z I N G. Hands down, one of the best burgers I've ever had. My husband ordered the Champ, and arguably, it was just as good. For dessert, we ordered one Cakeshake. Easy, this could've fed 4-5 people, but the two of us attacked and managed to finish the entire milkshake + slice of cake. Gorgeous presentation, delicious dessert! Indoor seating, lower level/basement (stairs), cozy vibes and great staff! Absolutely will be back again soon :) read more

Came to Black Tap New York with a group and had a pretty good experience overall. Our server Ian was great and our manager Michael was also helpful throughout our visit. For food, we ordered the Sweet Potato Fries, Korean BBQ Wings, Wagyu Beef Burger, and French Onion Burger. For drinks, we had the Passionfruit Lemon as a non-alcoholic option, along with the Notorious Painkiller Slushie and the Glamours & Vice. My personal favourite was definitely the Korean BBQ Wings. The wings had a nice balance of sweet and savoury Korean BBQ flavour, and they were the standout dish for me. Next was the French Onion Burger, which had that rich, savoury flavour you'd expect from French onion, with the burger making it a pretty decadent combination. After that was the Wagyu Beef Burger, which was solid and had a nice richness to the beef, but personally I preferred the French onion burger. The Sweet Potato Fries were also a nice side, especially if you like that slightly sweet and savoury combination. For the drinks, the Passionfruit Lemon was a refreshing non-alcoholic option with a fruity and citrusy flavour. The Notorious Painkiller Slushie was definitely more of a fun, indulgent drink and fit the whole Black Tap vibe. And of course, you can't really talk about Black Tap without mentioning their over-the-top dessert-style shakes. If you have a serious sweet tooth and love very decadent desserts, these are definitely worth trying. They're more of an experience than just your typical milkshake. The atmosphere was probably one of my favourite parts of the visit. It has a really cool, energetic vibe with a fun New York feel, making it a good spot to come with friends. That said, it is definitely on the pricey side, so you're paying for both the food and the overall experience. Overall, I'd come back for the Korean BBQ Wings and French Onion Burger. The atmosphere was fun, the service was good, and there's plenty on the menu to try if you're looking for a more indulgent meal. read more

I had a lovely evening here at Black Tap. From the service to the food, everything was excellent! We were celebrating a birthday and the staff made my nephew feel so special. Everyone was so kind! My favorite dishes were the mozzarella sticks and truffle fries. They were soooo good! I can't wait to come back! read more

Food: the food was incredible! We ordered two sandwiches (Crispy Chicken & Pesto Chicken) and split them! The sandwiches were very yummy and decent sizes. The fries were incredible and also a decent serving size. Service: Our service was good- no complaints Ambiance: This underground eatery had a very cool ambiance, played good music and was well lit. Seating was great! read more

My girlfriend mentioned this place recently! I was in the area and decided to try it! I almost missed it when I was looking for it because it was located lower level of the building. When I entered, the place looked relatively small but for me, I appreciated the low key vibe. The place was full and waited about five minutes to be seated. I ordered the wagyu steakhouse burger and an Arnold Palmer! The drink was great to my liking! The burger was amazing! It was topped with crispy onions, pepper jack cheese, garlic aioli, and A1 sauce on the side! I added a fried egg since I am always a fan adding egg to my burger! Shout out to my waiter Vaughn who took care of me while I was here for the first time! I noticed people ordering some milkshakes with a cake on it! I will come back to try it since I got full from the burger! read more

For years I always wanted to visit Black Tap & I finally visited the one located in SoHo on January 23rd. Unfortunately, my experience was not a good one. First, this place is located in what looks like a basement. You have to go downstairs to enter the place. As for the food & drinks, I ordered the All American Burger which came with arrived & for the drinks, I ordered a Jolly Rancher drink which was recommended by the waiter, Vaughn. I wish I never asked for a recommendation because the Jolly Rancher drink was awful. So awful that it took me nearly an hour to finish it. I winded up ordering a coke which was the only good drink. The All American Burger was the most horrible burger I ever had from any place. The fact that Black Tap makes awful burgers was definitely a surprise because that's one of the main things they're known for aside from their milkshakes. The burger tasted like it was in the freezer for months. The fries were the only good thing I ate from there. While I don't like to leave bad reviews without giving a place a second chance, I felt like leaving one for this place was necessary & I'll elaborate why. The day that I came here, my waiter was Vaughn. Before I came in, there was only one other customer in there. After me, I realized that more customers started to come in. I was there to just order some food & drinks. As if the awful burger & drink wasn't bad enough, the waiter's service is what really made it such a disappointing experience for me. The waiter continuously kept coming to my table to talk to me. Compliments given to me are appreciated, but honestly never ever needed or wanted. The waiter complimented my looks which was ok. However, it was further conversations & inappropriate things he said which made me beyond uncomfortable to the point where I wasn't even able to enjoy my food or drink. There was plenty of other customers who came in after me & they were barely attended to while I was continuously bothered. Coming to my table to make sure everything is good is cool. However, coming around my table to make unnecessary conversations is super unprofessional lol. Who does s h * t like that? Those who know me on a personal level KNOWS what I'm capable of doing in order to stand up & defend myself but because he was the only waiter there, I just didn't say anything because I don't need my drinks or food to be spit in. There were a few things said that was absolutely unprofessional & unacceptable. The constant conversation was annoying enough, but giving me a piece of paper to write my name & number crossed the line. There were other things said that others would agree is highly unacceptable & unprofessional. I called to make a complaint & spoke with Ciara. She informed me she was going to relay this message to Matthew who's the manager of the place. I was told that he would call me, but he never did. So here is this very well deserved & honest feedback. Oh & if proof is ever needed, my friend who I was on the phone with could definitely confirm to most of what was said to me. I highly recommend for the owner to review the cameras & hopefully it's audio enabled so they can hear the entire conversation of my uncomfortable visit. That's the best evidence in terms of confirming my review. I really hope the owner & manager will reconsider the staff they currently have working here. Perhaps, retraining them on how to attend to a customer professionally & respectfully would be ideal. Otherwise, I highly recommend you guys to fire the current ones & hire some new staff. read more

$175 dinner for 4 (2 adults and 2 children) for average burgers and fries, two milkshakes, and one beer. It took over ten minutes to get my beer and it was warm upon arrival. The burgers, ordered medium well, were beyond well done. I could have had a better meal at a fast food joint for a fifth of the cost. read more

Our server was excellent, with a nice approachable attitude, and our food arrived relatively quickly. The restaurant was clean and spacious, underground at their original Soho location. My boyfriend got the Tennessee burger, which he liked, and my wagyu steakhouse burger was alright, but I kind of wished in retrospect that I'd ordered a BBQ burger. That's just a personal preference though, there was nothing wrong with it. They're priced pretty typically for a Manhattan sit-down burger joint (ie. average of $23/burger). read more

Black Tap - SoHo is a must visit. Burgers? Legendary. The 1/2-lb Champ wagyu was flavorful perfection, fries were spot-on, and every dish at our table was a hit. Perhaps shining brightest was the Brooklyn Blackout Crazy Shake... a towering chocolate beast that took three of us to finish. (So, that's less guilt... right?) Matt (the owner) and his team treated us like family. Thanks again, Matt. There was just one problem: we ate it all so fast that we couldn't take a decent pic. So, just look at all the posted photos after you read this! read more

Took my neices for a day in the city. Burgers were good the milk shakes are definitely a dessert and they are rather large. Definitely over priced and not the cleanest. Feels like an nyc diner than a burger spot. But burgers are what they do read more

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food!! Also loved the music playing. If I could give more than 5 Stars I would!! Got the Pesto chicken sandwich and my daughter got the Crispy chicken sandwich. We split them and they were both amazing. The fries were perfect. Not soggy. Also got 2 crazy shakes. The cookies n cream one and strawberry shortcake. So damn good!! Would totally come back and recommend to anyone visiting or lives here. read more

We were lucky to get in for dinner at 7pm on Friday after being at Coney Island all day. The crazyshakes are still crazy (see photo). The coffee shake was great as well. Not really known for the food but the Mozzarella with Chipotle sauce was very good. The chicken sandwich with coleslaw in it was great as well. The burger chopped salad was pretty good as well. Food was a little expensive but we were really there for the shakes not the food. read more

I normally pop in to Black tap after work or when Im in the area on the weekends. Its a cool spot to have a milk shake, burger or wings. They have two levels, upstairs and downstair. The downstairs has more room and gives a cheerful vibe. On this day I stopped by after an appt and got the chicken sandwich and an arnold palmer. The chicken sandwich was crispy and not oily and the korean bbq sauce on the side was a great additional. The portion was huge, which i love because i love leftovers and everything was fresh. read more

I've been here a few times before, mostly to celebrate occasions, holidays, or if we need a later dinner option. Although there is a bit of a longer wait at times, the service has improved since before the pandemic. The restaurant itself is well decorated. The burgers, the main focus of the restaurant are all pretty good. They live up to the hype. The shakes are also very good and arguably their most popular items. Without the long wait times, everything would be perfect, but it makes sense that popular restaurants have longer waits. read more

This place was great! The "Crazy Shakes" were the star feature of the event. We used Black Tap as an incentive for our kids to behave all week long on our trip: "Behave if you want milkshakes at Black Tap!" It worked, and we all had a great time. The cocktails were very good and the milkshakes were just as sensational as advertised. If they didn't taste good, people would still buy them because they are Instagram bait but I am happy to report they are ALL good. The truth is, the burgers were kind of nothing to write home about, so maybe consider getting a burger somewhere else (so many good burgers in NYC!) and then come here for the shakes? Or, why not, go nuts and have a giant dinner here - we did! Friendly service and clean facility: would be happy to go back. read more

Amazing service, super accommodating great food!!!!! Love them and will always recommend and come back

First time hubs stayed in NYC; typically we stay in Brooklyn when visiting our son - had to hit as many icons and staples while we were there. Black Tap was one of our stops! Was our Monday lunch stop before heading uptown to Central Park, service was FAB! We shared The Champ on gluten-free bun...thank you Black Tap for offering a gluten-free option. Hubs had the side Cesar salad which was zippy and tangy! Ordered the cheese fries just cuz, and I'd do it again! One of the best lemonades ever. Fingers crossed when they open in JFK it while just as good. read more

The food and the service were absolutely amazing I definitely plan on coming back to this location.

A lot of show but not a lot of go. We came strictly for the milkshakes, we did not have any food. Over the past several years, my insta feed has been inundated with pics of these comically large milkshakes. We tried to get into Black Tap about a year ago but the line was around the corner. Now that every ice cream shop in the outer boroughs and Long Island are making their version of these shakes, there is no longer a line. When we arrived, we were quickly shown a seat. We had: - Cotton Candy Shake - tasty - Cake Batter Shake - so so. The large slice of cake on top of the shake tasted old. - Strawberry Shortcake Shake - tasty, it had a Good Humor strawberry shortcake ice cream bar stuck in it. The ambiance is intentional dive bar. I'm glad we tried the shakes, but in this case once was enough. read more

Came on a Monday night and got a burger salad, queso and chips and shakes (cookie and cream and vanilla) The burger salad came with their special sauce which was delicious and complimented the salad. It came with two slices of bacon, pickled onions, tomato, lettuce, and beef patty with cheese. It wasn't too heavy compared to a burger and definitely great if you wanted some extra greens on it too! The shake was thick but came with lots of whip cream! Overall the food was a 8/10 - hit the spot for a burger type meal and a shake, but wouldn't becoming back often! The place wasn't too crowded but there was only one waiter for the entire serving area, so expect slower service! read more

My friend and I came here on a Monday night for dinner. We shared an arugula salad and the all-American burger. The food was pretty good; it nothing life-changing, but more-or-less what I expected. The fries were my favorite part of the meal-- they were still hot, crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. All the staff were really nice, as well. read more

We came in there in a hurry they were amazing and got us our food in less than 10 minutes. Food was great. Crispy chicken sandwich amazing.
