Crab and Corn & Crab Hushpuppies
Swatee G.

It's 2.5 stars for me We stopped by on a cold winter Friday, they were pretty short staffed - the entire kitchen had 2 folks. There seemed to be more folks on the hostess stand than in the kitchen honestly. Our server Ethan was okay, a little checked out if im honest. It took the kitchen over 45 min to get our food out - even drinks took over 15 min. We started with the corn and crab hushpuppies - these were actually pretty yummy and I'd have these again. These were served with a little aioli style sauce and that was good. Also came with a sweet butter which made no sense honestly - I ended up using it on my waffles, because it was good. The fries that came with the burger were pretty good too, and a decent portion size. The burger itself felt a little dry and was okay, edible. Lily had the portobello sandwich and while this sounded great, it was poorly executed. Massive pieces of jarred roasted bell pepper, a dry piece of portobello and only partially toasted bread. I had the chicken and waffles. The chicken lacked seasoning and was a little dry. My waffles needed another couple of minutes in the waffle makes honestly. The maple syrup was good. My side of egg was butchered beyond belief, which was sad - someone put it on the grill and forgot about it. It was a sunny side up, when I asked for an over easy. Because we were hungry, we did end up finishing all the food, it was all edible and nothing needed to be sent back. We've been to a couple of other city tap locations and this was honestly not that great. Not sure if I want to be back.

Came for happy hour on Wednesday. Javi helped us at the bar and was lovely. We had the happy hour hazy IPA, which was a Solace, Partly Cloudy (one of my faves!) The restroom was fabulous. Very peaceful. Don't usually comment on that but it was! Stopped back by the same night after my event and had a glass of wine and there was live music. Pretty cool for a Wednesday night! Will be back to try food and other treats.

French toast with apples

Fun experience. Stopped in on a Saturday, college football just kicked off, lots of people watching football at the bar, we were just looking for a semi- quick lunch. Service was friendly and attentive. Drinks came out quickly. Good seemed to take a while. Pricy for what it is (well over $20 for a salad with grilled chicken?) but atmosphere was great, gorgeous day to be sitting inside but close enough to outside to enjoy sunshine.

Ten Spice Wings
Eunice I.

I came here a few weeks ago with my boyfriend for dinner. We had seen their menu online and already knew what we wanted, but when we got to the restaurant, they had a completely different menu than the one online so that kind of threw us off and we had to go for other items. For example, my boyfriend had wanted a grilled salmon dish on the website menu, but that was no longer on their actual menu. Our waitress was honest that they changed out many items on the menu that she liked and thought were good. I will say she was very straightforward and gave her honest opinion on what to order and what not to order. For instance, I had wanted the carne asada tacos but she recommended I do the shrimp tacos instead. She said those were tastier and I trusted her judgement. For starters, I had the charred Brussel sprouts. She had mentioned they were fried, but they were actually grilled and they were very tasty and cooked the way I liked. The shrimp tacos were also delicious and I liked the combo of flavors, especially the pickled onions and cherry peppers. My boyfriend opted for the ten spice wings. He doesn't care for fried food, and we asked if they could be baked but she said they bake them first and then fry after. I couldn't understand why they couldn't modify it by just not frying it, but she said it couldn't be done. They were very flavorful and he enjoyed them for the most part. Ambience is pretty relaxed. Lots of people were there watching the game and there were all types of people, from families with kids, to couples, and everything in between. Our table was spacious and it looked like a step above from the standard pub restaurant. I wouldn't mind going back but they should really update the menu on their website so it matches what's in the restaurant.

Menu

City Tap is an essential element to One Loudoun. Quality food, excellent servers, and comfortable (and importantly warm) interior and exterior seating options. We came here for a quick dinner in New Years Eve amidst the expected heavy crowds. The theme was Cowboy night and seeing folks all around in hats and bandanas was a fun experience. I got the Tandoori Chicken Kabobs and the taste was excellent. The chicken fell right off the sticks, the tabouleh salad was refreshing and perfectly accompaniment by the pomegranates, and scooping the smooth hummus up with the pita was excellent. My only real complaint is that I found myself still hungry after completing the dish, although that might be more easily attributed to my appetite than the serving size. I recommend checking the menu ahead of times if you end up going on a busy night like we did!

I'm not sure if 3 stars is a little generous or a little low. Apparently I've been here before and ordered a kid's cheesburger. Not sure when I came or how my visit was since I didn't review at that time. Hmm. This review will be for my recent visit. I wish I had the option of ordering the kids cheeseburger because I didn't want to order a large entree or any of the sides. I ended up ordering the Black Angus Tap Burger with mozzarella instead of yellow cheese and unsalted fries. I asked for well done, but it was a little too pink for my liking. I just ate it anyway...but it wasn't the best burger I've had. We were seated in the bar area, which was fine. Our server was nice and attentive. Unfortunately we came on a Saturday..so i guess that's DJ night? The music was just terrible, with maybe 4 good songs and some random Hindi songs. He kept trying to hype up the "dance floor" section. The music was just unbelievably loud for such a small area. I was just ready to leave. Would I return? Yea, probably...but not when the DJ is there!

Hangover Pizza
Liz R.

We wanted to venture out for brunch on this rainy Sunday and said we needed to try somewhere new that also offered comfort food options given the weather and we decided to give City Tap Loudon a try. We made a reservation and were promptly seated but it took our server a while to get to us although she apologized and her service was PHENOMENAL for the entirety of our dining experience (Michelle was her name) . We ordered their 10 spice wings, pretzels and pimento and the hangover pizza for appetizers to share. The star appetizer was the wings which I unfortunately don't have a pic of for some odd reason and the pretzels and pimento were a close second (I would come back just for the wings). For entrees we ordered the shrimp and grits which were a very nice spin on the original where these had a side of collard greens and 2 sunny side up eggs on top. They were DELISH! My friend had the pecan French toast and said it was delightful and sweet! We will definitely come back and probably sit in the bar area where they have TVs and show the games since we got to experience the more traditional brunch dining experience today.

*tap, tap, tap in* Let's tap into the review that you need to read! For starters, the entire staff was very friendly and accommodating, especially our waitress. I wish that I could have remembered her name but I would say that we came here, Saturday night before Halloween and were seated in the booth. Restaurant ambiance: as mentioned, it was the Saturday before Halloween, so the restaurant was perfectly decorated to match the occasion and provide that spooky yet sexy vibes. This place is great for sports fans, excellent for a cute date night, or some fun with friends! I had an absolute ball from start to finish. For my drink, I had the Halloween special which was the "Devil's Sangria" I wasn't too sold on it because it was a little too acidic and lacked liquor LOL so I ended up getting another drink (not pictured here) and that drink was AMAZING- the bartender didn't miss on the pour. For dinner, I had the Ten spice wings and my friend had the prime burger. The wings were DELECTABLE!!!!! Whatever the ten spices were, the flavors left me weak in the knees. It was absolutely delicious and the wings were perfectly smoked. I had a side of French fries with it but man, those were some delicious wings. My friend said that his burger was on point and that the bread was buttery soft. He also noted that they didn't miss on preparing the burger as ordered. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meal. No desserts were available nor ordered and that's okay. We knocked back a few drinks after our meal and had a great time jamming to a live dj, who was fire!!!! And catching glimpse of the World Series on the TVs at the bar. I live in DC and I am very familiar with the other location but I must say that this location is by far, my favorite. Both the customer service and food flavors were on point! Overall, I had a great time and wouldn't mind revisiting this place.

Shrimp and grits with an addon of Brussel sprouts
Lisa W.

This place was pretty good. We tried a number of happy hour appetizers: pulled pork nachos, margharita pizza, corn crab cakes... I'm addition to the spicy cauliflower. All were pretty good. I ordered the shrimp and grits. I got Brussel sprouts instead of collard greens because I'm not too much of a fan of collard greens. My meal was satisfying, although i was between the shrim and grits and the chicken pot pie, and two of my colleagues got the chicken pot pie and were raving about how good it was, so it left me a little jealous that i ordered the wrong thing. Lol

Look g for an easy outing? This is the place. And they have happy hour specials. Went here on a Friday afternoon and it was easy to get a table and the service was great. The ambiance was awesome with music and tvs. They also have live music after certain hours.

No Crab Mac&Cheese

Great ambience with an inviting bar, rusty wood with velvet seating, linen pendent lighting with a total shabby chic decor. A couple fire towers on the patio that I will return to experience when the weather gets warmer. Fantastic service and wait staff - Food came out in less than 15 mins, water was refilled multiple times. Another wait staff delivered my sangria who enthusiastically described how fresh this batch [of sangria] was and greeted us with a big "salute". I am a sucker for fun and friendly service! Food was nicely portioned and delicious. They were flexible in letting me to sub out the beans & rice with a basket of fries. In celebration of International Women's Day, they are having an all day Happy Hour for all ladies with select beers, wines, cocktails, and select appetizers all are half price. DJ starts at 10:00p so come on out!

I have come here a few times: a couple times with a friend and the most recent time was by myself. The first couple times, the service was pretty solid: we were seated quickly, and our orders taken shortly after we were seated. We got nachos and a couple other finger foods. The most recent time, I came in by myself in the afternoon. I was immediately greeted by the host, and I requested to sit at the bar. It took about 15 minutes (maybe even longer) before the 2 gentleman bartenders acknowledged me or even ask if I was ready to put in an order. I was only acknowledged when a lady bartender came in. She greeted me and asked if I was ready to place an order, which I was. I was waiting to get a margarita or long island iced tea, but with how irritated I was becoming waiting to place an order, I opted for a mocktail recommendation. She recommended a black cherry type of mocktail based on what I tend to like. She checked in on me several more times while I waited and after I had gotten my food. I appreciated her service; I didn't appreciate the other bartenders just ignoring me. that was a little bit annoying, especially since several customers who came in after me got waited on first. I had ordered the pulled pork nachos along with the recommended black cherry mocktail. Some of the nacho chips were a little bit stale, so it was a bit disappointing. The mocktail was a tad bit too sweet, but the bartender was kind enough to dilute it for me with a little bit more lemon juice and club soda. There was a live performer singing for some of the time that I was there. There were different kinds of groups that were in there: some families with kids, friend groups, solo diners, etc. It was a pretty laid-back atmosphere, and I quite enjoyed it. Overall, good service when I actually received one. Food was okay. I liked the atmosphere, but the food and the length of time I had to wait to actually receive service makes it unlikely for me to come back.

City Tap Cubano
Danielle J.

Made a reservation for 3 and we were seated immediately on a Friday night. The place was busy but our server was attentive and came right over to take our drink order. The restaurant had a nice vibe, we sat in a comfy high booth, lighting was a little dim for my old lady eyes, but my readers helped lol! We ordered the crab and corn hush puppies for an app. They were served nice and hot, with butter on the side and a delicious remoulade for dipping. Definitely recommend. My daughter had the grilled cheese and tomato Soup. She's very picky about her tomato soup but said it was delicious! Husband has the Cuban and said it was very good. I had the fried chicken sandwich with fries. The fries were ok. I expected crispier for shoestring style. The chicken was cooked well, but was a little dry in spots. It came with pimento cheese on top but not much. Overall, good dinner out at a new spot.

The service was also great - our waiter was really nice and funny! I ordered the beer flight, which comes with 4- 5oz flavors. I asked our waiter to choose and he brought me a blackberry and blueberry lemon cider which was sweet and delicious. The sweet potato fries were a good pairing, but were a small portion and not great for sharing. Also, the Cajun Pasta took a while to come out, but was sooo flavorful. There was a good ratio of pasta to sauce to sausage to shrimp. It was a beautiful portion, but a little expensive for a sports bar.

Maybe I should have read the description a bit more carefully or maybe I expected something more typical of a Steak and Cheese. I did want to order the steak tacos after both, just to see if they were the same. Someone please let me know.

Service was slow due to this but not unfriendly or anything. Menu was varied and everything looked good. I ordered the Crybaby noodles that apparently was from a Netflix show?

The positive is that the food was fantastic. I ordered the Lamb Massaman, and my wife got a yellow curry seafood dish. Both were delicious and more than enough food for each of us, but it was so good we managed to finish it all. We're foodies, and honestly, we'd probably order takeout from here in a heartbeat. For takeout alone, this would be an easy 5-star review, no question. Now, onto the bad. I've been to countless restaurants, both great and terrible, and this was the first time I genuinely felt like walking out. My wife felt bad, but I actually set a three-minute timer, and the server barely beat it. And by that, I mean bringing our drinks (our very first order) after a 45-minute wait. When we first sat down, the server came by within three minutes to take our order, but I asked for a few more minutes. Ten minutes later, we put in the drink order. My wife and I couldn't agree on appetizers, so we asked for a little more time before ordering the entrées. Fast-forward 45 minutes, and we were still sitting there waiting on our drinks, while the table next to us arrived, got their drinks, and even received food all within 30 minutes. It felt like our server was far more focused on bussing and resetting tables to turn covers than actually taking care of the guests already seated. I told my wife we should just get up and go somewhere else; after all, date nights are rare for us, and we deserved a better experience. To make matters worse, when the drinks finally arrived, they were just okay; they tasted watered down and didn't impress me at all. Unless I see consistently great reviews down the line, I'm never setting foot in here again. The atmosphere didn't help, either. It was loud, with the background music turned down so low that you could clearly hear everyone around you shouting and laughing. The place would definitely benefit from turning the music up a bit to drown out the noise. Maybe my expectations were high, but at $28 to $30 per entrée and $16+ per drink, our bill came out to $110 before tip for two plates and two drinks. For that price, it was hands down the worst dining experience I've had anywhere.

Service is OK with some wait staff being more efficient than others. There were some who knew their customers by name and took time out to talk with them but that slowed down service a little for the rest of us. Nothing too bad but you might wait a bit for refills or something you need after your food or drinks arrive. We had cool fries and it took a bit for the staff to come back to our table to check in the dining room. Similar response time for wait staff outside when we needed condiments that were ordered but didn't come out with our entrees. Cigar menu is an ok selection where there is something for everyone; however, our experience was the place ran out of the first four cigars we selected and each time the wait staff had to come back to our table to tell us they were out of that cigar. Wait staff didn't know what cigars were in stock and which they were out of. Overall, very good experience for both inside the dining area and outside where you can smoke.
