Manuel L.

Hands down the best crafted beer spot in town! An impressive variety that truly has something for every taste, from classic styles to outstanding regional selections you absolutely have to try. The beer menu is top-notch and clearly curated with passion and knowledge. The food is outstanding, their burgers are a star a part you can't pass on it. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always happy to make great recommendations. The ambience is laid-back and welcoming, making it the perfect place for a relaxed, friendly gathering. During Happy Hour you can get a meal and a couple beers for less than $20... Isn't it a gem? A must-visit for any beer lover.

Shrimp Salad

The service is spot on. Fantastic menu that takes several visits to work your way around it.

Ruben Sandwich
Tawnya A.

First time at Jack's Taps and I'll definitely be back. Service was great, friendly and fast. We had the French Dip and the Reuben sandwich and both were amazing. The sweet potato fries were hands down the best I've ever had. Food came out quick, and everything was hot and delicious. It wasn't too busy, which made for a chill vibe. Good music, sports on the TVs, and 20 local beers on tap. Street and lot parking available. Solid spot all around.

Great place for a bite and some brew. Many tvs at the bar to catch your sports team too. The vibe is casual and service is prompt. I ordered a burger that came with sourdough bread as the bun, which sounded good at first, but about halfway through I wish I went with a brioche bun instead. My friend ordered the fried chicken sandwich and the chicken filet was HUGE! I do prefer a fried chicken sandwich with a lot more sauce or slaw inside the sandwich. It looked more like fried chicken than a sandwich. It was a quick bite, but satisfying. I'd come here again for sure!

Lamb chops

Service was great. Came in right before 6pm. There was a wait. But it sure didn't feel like it. And it was busy on a Tuesday. Sat down, ordered waiter was nice and helpful. We got our food so quick. We were in and out in about an hour. We ordered calamari, coconut shrimp and the lamb meatballs. All were good. Also received some bread and butter. Our son got the kids tenders and fries, I ordered the meatloaf, but I was torn between the salmon orzo and fish and chips. My hubs got the lamb. This was our anniversary dinner and it was great. Thanks

Calamari and garlic oregano fries
Shelby M.

The Calamari was excellent. Seasoned well, tarter sauce was yummy. Garlic oregano fries were not too over powering. Love them. The margarita was okay.

Garlic fries
Michael-Anthony T.

What can I say? Good food, good beer. Came in to watch the game with a little bite to eat for the night. Ordered the garlic fries, calamari and half chicken. Everything was perfect and complemented our drinks very nicely. Ambiance is chill and located in the downtown area. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a change from all the other corporate breweries in the area. Our server was great and was consistent. Thanks for a good dine in experience.

Inside -  good vibes!

Definitely a happenin' spot! This taproom is an extension of Jack's Restaurant & Bar right next door. The taproom is way more laid back compared to the actual restaurant itself. It's a great spot to catch a game or to have dinner when the restaurant is busy and overcrowded. You can enjoy the same happy hour bites menu from the restaurant here as well as the rest of their menu. They have three large big screen TV's at the bar and over 20 different beers on tap! The best part about their tap beers is that they actually offer variety! Yes, they have their standard IPA's, but they also usually keep several ales, sours, ciders, and guest beers too. They rotate their tap list pretty often, but it's easy to find something that you like. If you're with someone who isn't really a fan of beer, they have wine options too (they get it from next door). The bartenders are awesome! They will check in on you and chat you up if you're up for it. All in all, Jack's taps is a solid option for great beer and a fun time.

Gyro pizza
Mel J.

Service was slow tonight but they are very knowledgeable about their beer selection and super friendly. I'd normally give them a free pass if it was busy and they were the only server but the bar top had 2 people and 2 tables of 2. I ordered the gyro pizza which came out quickly and was delicious.

Pot Roast
Danna F.

The food is so tasty! There's so much to choose from. Anything you want they have. I'm obsessed with their pomodoro pasta. Everything is wonderfully made! Their pot roast is amazing!

Still thinking about the first flavor bomb bite of the Johnny Cash burger…read more It's evident Broderick's is well loved by the volume of people always present there whenever I go past. My server Braden was very friendly and helped me narrow down my burger choice. Johnny Cash burger has a yummy brioche bun, juicy flavorful patty, bacon, and crispy onion rings. Garlic fries were crispy and coated with a tasty garlic sauce. There is ample indoor and outdoor seating which was perfect for the sunny weather. I'd come back and try the other items!

She's been there for years and is always warm, attentive, and accommodating. That familiar hospitality makes coming back even better. I ordered the True Bleu Burger with applewood-smoked bacon, fried onion crisps, and garlic aioli on a regular bun, substituting white cheddar for the bleu cheese. Delicious! The kid had the Kentucky Bourbon Hot Chicken Sandwich, and everything came out hot and fresh. Tarah recommended the bacon tartar sauce for dipping our fries, and that was a delicious addition. There was a small wait, but the food was well worth it. Broderick delivered again--and Tarah remains part of what makes it a pleasure to return.

We were greeted with water (still or sparkling). Even though I am not vegan, I really appreciated the vegan menu. I tend to gravitate towards vegan options because I do not eat most dairy products. I ended up ordering the Vegan Pumpkin Risotto with Grilled King Salmon. In the photo, it looks like a grilled drumstick but I promise it's salmon haha! Everything was delicious. I was especially intrigued by this dish because it uses vegan Parmesan cheese. My coworkers asked if I could taste the difference, but honestly, I don't even know what actual Parmesan cheese taste like LOL The salmon was delicious!! I highly recommend giving it a try. Overall, vibes were great and it was a lovely spot to enjoy lunch with coworkers. They brought out a dessert menu afterward, but we didn't order any. I kinda wish I did though. The coconut sorbet with roasted coconut flakes caught my eye so I'll definitely have to come back to try!

This is my second time at social Bird. The first time was for dinner. I remember it being…read morefantastic. This local spot needs a reservation even on a weekday for lunch. However, they do save tables for walk-ins in case you don't have a reservation. We got lucky and were able to get a patio table so we could sit with our dog. The staff is very friendly and accommodating for gluten-free diners. We had the chicken wings to start they were tangy and perfectly crunchy. A little messy, but we were given hand wipes upon request. Next up, we ordered that tostadas with tuna, the prosciutto and burrata appetizers for entrées along with the pork sandwich. So happy to see the tostadas with the tuna back on the menu. They were delicious. The pork sandwich was large with crunchy salty chips to go with it the prosciutto and burrata cheese with pears and balsamic was packed with flavor of sweet, salty and creamy. Definitely enough for two people to share for an appetizer or an entrée for one person. I was only able to eat half of it since we had an appetizer to start. We were there for a birthday and were given a delicious caramel dessert with the cookie on the side for the gluten-free birthday person. It's no wonder this spot is a local favorite!

At this point, we sometimes joke that the staff is probably sick of seeing us! Julia does such a great job running this place, and honestly, she and her team are a huge reason we keep coming back. The staff is always welcoming and makes it feel like our neighborhood spot. The beer is great, the cocktails are great, and you really can't beat the convenience. I would love to see INC 82 build even more of a relationship with the hockey community next door. Advertising at the rink or offering a discount for hockey families would probably bring in so many more parents and teams. A happy hour would also be an amazing addition. My only other wish would be a few more healthy food options, especially for those of us who are here constantly! Overall, it's such a great local place, and Julia and her team really make it what it is. If it weren't for the staff, we probably would venture off and try other places more often, but they keep us coming back.

It's great to sit outside on a nice day. The upper patio has direct service and the lower patio/beer garden you will need to order using the QR code stuck the picnic tables. The staff has always been great with us. They check on us constantly, are always so friendly, smiley and we've been there so much they pretty much have our drinks memorized. Dahza and Jaden just giggle when they see us coming. Adore them so much!!! The GM Julia has been a stand out as well. There are not many GMs that out there that still love interacting with the customers by serving still. Appreciate that Inc 82 is still around!

So crispy and garlicky! And, the kitchen (plus our amazing server Gustavo!!) was kind enough to make a custom pesto cavatelli for me because I didn't want the cavatelli with morel mushrooms! I will be thinking about the texture of this pasta + the pistachio pesto for a long time. They kept the corn pudding of the original dish at the bottom and it was such a good combination of flavors. I got chicken added on top. I got an espresso martini with gin; pretty good, just wished there was a bit more espresso flavor. Probably would order one of their house cocktails instead next time. Lastly we had the stone fruit cobbler with ice cream and a pine nut/pistachio brittle. Unlike any other cobbler I've ever had. Perfection of different textures. Also, we had the duck fat fries on another day; they were delightfully crispy and lightly seasoned with garlic. The ranch it came with was so yummy and definitely dill-forward. I'd definitely come back! Thank you for your hospitality.
