We had 3 parties in front of us head in off the street so there is no private / secret / hidden vibe. Once you go in however, that all changes. Dark wood, old brick, great decor, dim lighting, and there is most definitely a "vibe" Our server was hustling as the place was full, but we never felt rushed or crowded, and the bartender was up to the task too, with speed and precision.

The Host hesitated at first since he'd likely not gotten that request before (it is unusual for a Bar), but he found a table in the back as far away from the sound as possible. Kudos Our Waitress (Haley) was super friendly and helpful with recommendations and took our 6 orders (there were 3 other tables with Patrons). My Big Bear Chicken was one of the last out but probably the first prepared - the Chicken and Onion Rings were too cold to eat. :-( She replaced them with a fresh order and off we went. I wouldn't order the same again as nothing about my meal stood out (even with a freshly prepared order), but I was very happy with the Service and Atmosphere.

We arrived in Ellijay late Sunday afternoon, so we didn't get out that evening. We went in to town Monday only to find most restaurants are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so went to Tapz and we're so happy we did.... the service and food were great....even though they've only been open for a few weeks you would never know it.... we had the peel and eat shrimp cooked in Ole Bay and 2 pizza's, we had enough food to take back to our cabin for a late night snack. We ended up going back on Tuesday for more shrimp and drinks LOL.... the chef and team treat you like family and they remembered us... a real delight for an out of towner.... We will be back when we return to Ellijay......can't a wait read more

The beverages were on point, they have a great menu of bourbons. Will not disappoint. As a surprise they gave me a flourless chocolate Bundt cake to take home with a candle. Being with the family is always a warm unforgettable experience. There is something to be said about being surrounded by people who care and love so much. I'm in bliss. Until next time ...

My server was pleasant and covered a lot of tables. She tackled it like a pro without making me feel neglected. I ordered a side of bacon with cheese grits and a half order of French toast. The bacon was thick and salty. The grits were delicious because they used shredded cheese versus a slice of American cheese product. They were firm and not soupy. The French toast was essentially a slice of bread cut in half so I was a little disappointed in that. In addition, it was undercooked but tasty with a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top. I asked if the corned beef hash was homemade or canned. I loved her honesty as it helped me make the decision to forgo it. It's a quaint family owned restaurant that is a good place to stop for breakfast. Expect simple and you'll enjoy it.

The Mrs had the walnut coated Trout with a bourbon sauce. Both were excellent. One note, the shrimp and grits sauce was more a creamy white sauce as opposed to the red type I'm used to. It was delicious, just different. The place had a really cool bar area and we'd probably go early to have a drink there before dinner next time. Only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is because it would have been nicer to be in the main dining room.
