Update to my original review. Echo Tap and Grill has solidified its place on my list of favorite restaurants. We dined here on Father's Day and once again it was excellent. The pineapple stir fry is hands down a favorite for a reason. From the presentation to the hot delicious flavors. Along with that, the fried calamari, garlic shrimp, banging Banana, churros and wild berry spritz made the experience memorable. Our server Madison was so sweet, professional and attentive. I must also include server Nicole who recognized our party was full up to our eyeballs and instinctively offered to get us take out boxes. read more

One of my favorite places to go to relax and have good food and drinks. Staff is very friendly and I love the atmosphere

Easy to access right off route 22. Plenty of parking. Seated quickly with good customer service. Plenty of space inside with bar and spacious seating area even during covid. Expansive menu with decent prices. Opted for the shrimp and chicken stir fry stuffed inside a pineapple which was amazing. Plenty of flavor, seasoned well and cooked to perfection. Couldn't have asked for it to taste any better. Sangria also was very tasty. It's pre-made but still was good. $8 for the glass was worth the price. Server Antonio was great. Courteous and explained all the specials thoroughly. Highly recommend. read more

Went out for girls night here for the first time. Atmosphere was great. Def a girls night type of vibe. I wouldn't recommend going here for a date night just because it's really noisy and has a bar vibe. Food was great. Definitely try the rainbow layer cake, it was amazing. The waiter was okay. He def would check on us every 2 mins and but then take forever to actually bring us what we asked for. Overall it was a pretty good experience. Def recommend read more

This place is rarely a disappointment, even with to go orders. The staff is always professional, cordial and accommodating. The food is always on point. My son always gets the Vodka Pizza which is his absolute favorite. I highly recommend Echo Tap & Grille & will continue to do so until they prove me wrong. read more

Went here for dinner on Friday night and there was a short 15 minute wait before the 4 of us got seated at around 8:30 pm. We used that time to order some cocktails at the bar which were really amazing. I'd highly recommend the Saint Margarita ($13.25) which took a long time to be made but was mixed to perfection! The décor of this place was what caught my attention when we were searching for a place to eat. Very industrial look with gears on the ceiling, but overall, nice ambiance. We were seated and within seconds got our complimentary chips and salsa. Our server was quick to tell us about the daily specials - all sounded good but we did not order from the specials. We ordered Guacamole ($12.95) which said it was freshly made to order. It came within a few seconds of ordering and although tasty, did not feel like it was freshly made. We thought they'd make it at our table! I ordered the Echo Burger ($13.95) and other orders included Chicken Tacos ($11.95) and a very cheesy and expensive Penne Alfredo ($22.95) with lots of Shrimp and Chicken. Food overall is just ok, with Tacos being the winner. The pasta was just okay, nothing amazing about it. Service was quick and the staff was friendly. They also have valet parking at this place. Overall a decent experience but we might not visit again for food, but will definitely visit for their amazing cocktails. read more

I got the Hawaiian pizza and Fried ice cream. Loved them both. Was also impressed with their number of taps. Everyone was very kind and it was a perfect finishing touch for my business trip. Thank you! read more

we went for Happy Hour, as you can expect the bar was packed. we sat at the end of the bar, one seat away from the kitchen. not ideal. noisy and you're not getting the cool atmosphere. we are one drink in just for our dinner when a server who works there makes us and another couple get up and move down (practically in the kitchen) to make room for her friends who just showed up. took me off guard. so not cool. thus the 3 stars. read more

CONS: Parking suuucks. Such a tight parking lot. They do valet sometimes - probably on Friday, Saturday night for sure. PROS: EVERYTHING ELSE! This restaurant is so nice & spacious. The Honey Habenero wings are the best. I need them every time. I like the fried mozzarella too. Service is always lovely & the food comes out relatively quick. I'm always pissed after having to deal with parking but once I walk in I feel better lol read more

No Reservations allowed. 1st come 1st served We were seated in the back. Staff was very accommodating. We had people arrive after the fact and were add-on's and staff had no problem adding tables and chairs for us. The server was good but it just seemed like she needed help with the large group. Crab leg linguine was too lemony Crab cake sandwich was good and well seasoned Salmon w/Spinach was cooked perfectly and the Spinach was made w/garlic (loved it) w/a side of garlic butter they ran out of the other butter. This was a perfect addition to my fish and vegetable. Server kinda blew our surprise by talking about the cake right in front of recipient. read more

We went fur dinner in a Tuesday night. It was empty. Now we know why. The food was horrible. I don't know what happened it used to be great. I ordered a hamburger well done not burnt with fries. It came out with wrong type of fries. They took it back came back 10 minutes later with correct fries that were raw and a cold hamburger. I could not get the waitresses attention to come over my husband hit up and couldn't find anyone. After 15? minutes she came to check on us. I hadn't touched the burger or fries she said is there a problem. I told her what was wrong. She said do you want fries that are cooked I said yes. She never came back l with them. She took my plate away Avery I didn't touch anything didn't say a word. Will never go back read more

3.5 been here a few times now. Service is always friendly. They have a decent tap lineup. And the food is pretty good. The reason for 3.5 instead of 4 is the lack of consistency. I had a burger a few months ago and it was great. Ordered the same thing the other day and got an old bun and a medium well patty (instead of the medium rare I ordered). I'll still be back and hope they work out the kinks. Check them out. ENJOY!!! read more

PLEASE please please get rid of that drum for the birthday thing. It's highly obnoxious and super loud when trying to enjoy dinner. The bacon s'mores lava cake dessert could be better, the cake itself was good as well as the whipped cream and berries but the bacon was terrible, it was soggy, greasy and all fat. Not sure how it was smores either, it was just a raw marshmallow with dark chocolate coating. Pro: The Aloha burger is still excellent! read more

This restaurant has so much potential. I have been here many times! In the last year, drunk people (losing shoes drunk) average food and mediocre service. We decided not to come here again and order online instead. O boy! We order a churrasco through UberEats. The order was ready after 1 hour and twenty minutes. They had us waiting at the entrance for that time, on top of that they also forgot our desserts. We are not coming here again! read more

Lunch is a good time if you don't like the crowds because at night it is the opposite. Service was great. The complimentary chips and salsa are always a plus. I never get milkshakes or anything like that, but after seeing a picture beforehand I had the urge. I saw candy like gummy worms so it helped make my decision. I was a little bummed that it had M&Ms instead, especially since I noted that I don't eat chocolate. The milkshake itself was good. I was indecisive between strawberry and vanilla, but I ended up going with vanilla. The shrimp tempura was too breaded for my liking. The penne vodka didn't hit the same as it once has, hit it wasn't bad. read more

Wasn't a fan of brunch but I am a fan of their HAPPY HOUR!!! I'm an avocado fanatic and their avocado egg rolls are literally crack! I always get 2 orders one for me and their other for the table as an app! Their truffle mushroom pie is greatttt!! I just always tell them to go light on the sauce and shrooms and well done so it can be nice and firm. Their coconut pineapple mojito is my fave! And their pineapple shrimp fried rice comes in a pineapple and is ridiculously good! The atmosphere is really hip. And they have an amazing fireplace for when it's cold out. read more

The inside is super cute and we were seated right away. They gave us free chips and salsa which was nice and I tried their coconut pineapple mojito which was delicious! We then had their mozzarella Luna and mango habanero wings. The mozzarella was huge and delicious and the wings were ok. Could have used more sauce and we actually asked for a side because we didn't see any sauce on the wings. We had the Medusa burger and pineapple fried rice with shrimp. The burger was kind of bland but the rice was good and had a great presentation. read more

Delicious and creative food menu. The banana dessert was awesome. Service is great. Everyone on staff is professional and friendly.

This place could definitely use some help. At first, I was excited when I saw the large menu because I thought that variety would be a good thing, I was wrong. I ordered the four cheese mac & cheese, the bacon, and a side of spinach.Well, the mac n cheese tasted like it came out of a box ... and the bacon was inedible i actually sent it back, it was served with spicy hot peppers and tomato sauce never had bacon that way and it was mostly fat hard to eat... The manager was actually very nice and offered to get me something else so I ordered the bacon cheeseburger instead. I will say the burger was cooked perfectly that was delicious. I also really enjoyed the fresh pineapple martini. my bartender was a total sweetheart and when I asked for the check I was surprised at how affordable the bill was... Mixed feelings read more

Modern spacious industrial chic bar and grill. They make solid sizable burgers and fries.

Rating based on the experience rather than the food quality. I actually really like the food here, though a little expensive for what it is, however, last night I was up charged for using my debit card instead of cash. This is BS. Won't be going there again for a very long time. Here is an article that answers the question of whether a restaurant can 1) legally charge for processing fees, and 2) whether they should. Maybe the owner/manager will read this review and change their policy: Passing credit card fees onto guests is a complicated issue. There may be specific language in your merchant agreements as well as state and local regulations that prohibit this. From the restaurant's perspective, there are really two questions: 1. Can you pass credit card fees on to guests? 2. Should you pass credit card fees on to guests? You can determine the answer to the first question by reviewing your merchant agreements and checking with your attorney and local restaurant association. In general, at the federal level, passing on a fee of up to 4% is allowed if clearly posted. But my advice is to not bother, because the answer to the second question is no. I understand that restaurants seem to be hit with costs from every direction. It is tempting to pass them on to guests, but, in my opinion, is the antithesis of hospitality, penalizing a guest for doing business with you in the way they prefer to do it. Psychologically, passing a merchant fee to a guest is a form of punishment--"If you insist on paying this way, I'm going to make you pay for it"--rather than the rewarding experience it should be: "Here is a delicious dinner and hospitality in exchange for your fair payment." I am of the mindset that I'd rather pay 10% more for each menu item rather than 3% more being nickel and dimed for credit card fees, takeout container charges or other add-ons. My advice for restaurants is to fold any fees that you are tempted to pass on to your guests into your pricing. If you find that that pricing does not make you competitive, then you need to re-examine your business model. If you really want to discourage credit card use, offer a discount for cash, thereby rewarding the guest, rather than punishing them for spending their money with you. read more

I've been here a few times with some of my girl friends and we love coming here as it's a cute cozy spot to catch up and its also got that industrial feel to it. Although I've only been here with my girls, it's honestly a good spot for anything - birthdays, date night & etc. This place does get jammed packed on the weekends so there will most likely be a wait and you'll get a buzzer. The food and cocktails are delicious here, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu/cocktail list, go for the specials of the day/season. Cocktails are made to perfection - we just recently ordered fall drinks and it did taste just like fall :) Chips and salsa are always served. Service has always been great. FYI, bring cash for valet. read more

I been here a few times but this is my first review. When I arrived I parked in their private lot. I walked in and the hostess walked me to my table and it was distanced from everyone. We were served by Nicholas and he was very informative and great to our table. I only had their homemade chips and salsa with pinot nior. My coworker had the pineapple stir-fry with shrimp special and it came to about $29 for just that. It looked great when it came out and I wanted to taste it after my coworker said it was good. The rice tasted so great and I wished I could of ate more. I will be back for sure to try the stir-fry on a cheat day. My wine was really good and so were the chips. I had a really good experience. read more

Service was fine. Here's the breakdown. Avocado egg rolls $16 8/10 Classic mac and cheese $13.95 5/10 (glorified Kraft box version with more cheese) Medusa burger about $19 4/10 (ordered medium there were no juices in the burger and it tasted like I was just eating a half pound of beef... no real seasoning in the meat either... fries were very salted and the same quality if not slightly worse than diner fries) Chicken vodka pizza about $19 5/10 (first slice everything slid right off, there was not nearly enough sauce it was like they sauced the noodles slapped it on the pie and cooked until the sauce all dried up) Seared Shrimp and Scallops $39.95 4/10 (this was quite shocking... it was about 8 pieces of shrimp that were over seasoned to hell with salt and laid on mash potatoes with two tiny scallops on the plate... I guess that's why they can call it scallops since there wasn't one. Regardless scallops are $10-$20 a pound and shrimp about $5 a pound. It also came with a side of zucchini and carrots chopped up which was fine but also about $3 worth of product) Overall for the food 4/10 we went for a birthday dinner and nothing wowed us total spend was just over $110 not including tip. read more

This is one of my go to places for brunch, lunch, special occasions, birthdays and even random dinners! I feel like my family and I have almost tried every single thing on the money! When you go in, they immediately give you chips and salsa. Don't over indulge on this, because you won't get to enjoy the other delicious foods this place has to offer you! Some of my favorite things to try are the thick cut Porkbelly, wings, carbonara pasta, and wings! The thick cut pork belly is a weekly option and is not offered during the weekend menu anymore. It is layered with a delicious cherry tomato sauce. It is thick, juicy, salty, tomato saucey and just YUM! The Carbonara pasta is offered in their brunch menu during the week only. During the weekend, I recommend getting their penne vodka pasta instead! Their wings are my go - to app! My family and I always get the wings. They are crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked and juicy on the inside. They can be served mixed in the sauce, or sauce on the side. You just let them know your preference. For happy hour (and brunch menus) they have the yummiest sangrias (white and red)! The customer service is great. They are all kind and willing to answer whatever questions you have for them. Check them out and give them a chance for sure. read more

Just returned from a late lunch/early dinner. Just wanted a hamburger. Went into the HUGE space with 3 occupied tables. Server came and asked if we'd like anything to drink besides the bottle of water brought to the table while we looked at the menu. We asked for 2 unsweetened iced teas. So far so good. She returned with our drinks and took our simple order of a bacon cheddar burger for me done black and blue (very rare) and a Medusa burger for my wife with an order of guacamole and chips for an appetizer. Twenty minutes later no appetizer or offer to refill our drinks. My very rare burger came out first. The burger that required the least amount of time on the grill comes out first?? I waited for my wife's order to arrive before eating. About 10 minutes later it did. No appetizer appeared. There was no dinner crowd that suddenly appeared so the server was not overwhelmed. After asking about our appetizer, she looked stunned and confused but went to get it so we had our appetizer and entrees come out together. Maybe the manager should have told her that appetizers are traditionally served first. After asking( after about 20 minutes if my (and only my) burger was cooked properly, that was the last we saw of the server. No drink refills or checking in. Glad they had a water bottle on the table. My wife, who is a glass half full type of person said maybe it was shift change so the server went home. I've eaten at restaurants during shift change and the prior server always thanked me and told me another server would be taking over. Not here. We had to snag another server while he was taking our plates to get the check. Food was nothing to write home about but the service really nailed the coffin shut on this place. Classic one and done experience. Replace the manager and train the staff properly. Empty restaurants are empty for a reason. Consider that. read more

We visited Echo Tap & Grille on a Friday evening for a middle school graduation celebration on 06/17. We arrived an hour early & the hosts were fairly rude to us. They sneered as they declared, you have no reservation. We calmly explained that we did have a res, we simply arrived a little early. They asked us the size of our party, not even bothering to check the iPad to see if our reservation existed. They sat us at a table for 6 people (we were a party of 8) & added 2 chairs at each end. When we pointed out that there was a table of 8 available, the hostess informed us that it was for another reservation that was set to arrive 30 min later. That reservation did arrive & lo & behold...they were a table of 6. If the hostess had bothered to even check her iPad & see the details, she would have realized that she gave the other group our table & gave us the table for the group of 6. Because of her condescension, we were pressed for space at our table, while the other table was probably confused why they had 2 extra chairs that no one used. To drink we ordered a spicy pineapple margarita & the infused pineapple martini. Both drinks were good albeit a little strong. Someone else in our party ordered a coconut mojito. She babysat all night & we had to force her to drink the rest long after everyone had finished eating LOL. She definitely left a little tipsy. For food we ordered the Sopressata & the Aloha Burger. Also ordered but not pictured was the pineapple stir-fry. All of the food was good. It also came out fast. Our waitress was very attentive; she took care of our party well. There were 8 of us, including 2 very indecisive children, so it wasn't always easy to keep tabs on everything we requested. But she did a fine job & fixed any small issues that occurred. We definitely enjoyed our dining experience between the food/drinks/service AT THE TABLE. However, the rude hostess left a bad taste in our mouth that the slightly overpriced food didn't completely mask. We'll give Echo another chance, maybe just at a different time slot. read more
