    I'm giving it a 1 star bc the food is mid. The chicken is so thin I can't even taste it in the sandwich.

    The chicken sandwich on line was $13.00 but when I got there it was $16.00. And then the onion ring appetizer was $7.00 and I got 7 small onion rings. So with tax and 2.00 tip my total was $31.88. I won't be back.

    New bar in Allen so had to make an appearance. When I go to a neighborhood bar for a day drink I want to be able to talk with the person that I'm with and not have to yell. That's for night life. The volume of the music was so annoyingly loud playing Taylor Swift-type music that it was all I could think of. Three stars, I suppose, for quick service. Menu looked like uppish scale bar food but I probably won't be back to taste it. Careful leaving anything less than 5 stars or the very professional management will trash you.

    This place was not at all what I imagined it would be... and on a Friday night! A friend and I came in during Happy Hour and it was very dead. The bartender was very nice who served us and the happy hour drink specials were good. We were starving when we arrived, but found that the menu was very limited. The bartender responded saying "it's bar food". I settled on the Mac and cheese and added bacon. Boy!... Did I feel gypped! I have never had such bland tasing Mac and cheese! I did not feel like making "a thing" of it at the time, and I was starving, so I just ate the noodles along with the few strips of bacon so I could get some flavor with each bite. Definitely not worth what I spent on it. I honestly do not know that I'd ever come back.. I certainly won't be getting the Mac and cheese.. totally underwhelmed by this place.

    Shakertins has a great space and atmosphere with lots of TVs, pretty excited they had every single football game going. The food was decent and they have great deals on drinks, not a bad consideration for your local go to bar! The only reason I brought down some starts is because they don't have much social distancing and the staff was not wearing mask when we were there. Easy to improve and hope they can adjust.

    We've been regulars here for a long time, and I'm surprised I never took the time to write a…read morereview. This is easily one of our favorite places in Allen. We've tried a wide variety of items on the menu over the years, and everything has been consistently fresh, flavorful, and high quality. Whether we're stopping in for a quick bite or staying to watch a game, the food never disappoints. The beer selection is outstanding, with an impressive variety of draft and bottled options ranging from crisp lagers and wheat beers to IPAs, porters, and stouts. Fun tip - if you order a German beer, it's served in a traditional 0.5-liter glass, which adds to the experience. The atmosphere is exactly what you're looking for in a neighborhood sports bar. There are TVs everywhere, plenty of seating, and a lively but comfortable vibe that's perfect for catching a game with friends or family. They also host a variety of events throughout the year, making every visit a little different. One of my favorite nights is Pint Night, where you receive a complimentary pint glass featuring the selected beer with your purchase. It's a great promotion and just another reason we keep coming back. If you're looking for great food, an incredible beer selection, and a welcoming atmosphere, this place is hard to beat. It's our go-to spot in Allen, and I highly recommend it.

    We decided to try Brass Tap again tonight for dinner. We have been here once before about 3 years…read moreago and it was ok, nothing too memorable - nothing horrible. Food was ok. So, we thought - why not, it's close- let's go and see if we like it better this time. Let's start with the positives. We arrived shortly after 5pm and the place was pretty empty so we were seated right away. The server was friendly and immediately took our drink orders. She was attentive and service was fast. No complaints with her service at all. It seemed pretty chill and low key. A few people trickled in but nothing crazy for a Saturday night. We ordered the pretzel appetizer and I was pleasantly surprised. The color of the pretzel had me fooled. It was pretty dark in color which usually indicates overdone and hard so when it was amazingly soft inside - wow! So good! We loved the mustard and cheese sauce that came with it. My husband and son ordered a burger and said they were tasty, my other son ordered the chicken strips and said they were good. Negative for the meal, I ordered the blackened cod tacos and subbed the chips and salsa for the Gilroy Garlic Fries. I was very excited for the garlic fries since we are originally from that area and are very knowledgeable about the famous Gilroy Garlic Festival and all things Garlic. Here's where this dish wasn't exciting - the tacos were pretty bland. I took the coleslaw from my son's chicken tenders to try and add more flavor and make the taco more palatable. I only ate 1 of the 2 because there really was just zero flavor. The fries were probably an even greater disappointment. In the center, was a very small amount of cheese and maybe garlic? It had virtually zero garlic taste - I was searching for it. It was a sad version of garlic fries. I would not order that again unless they were improved upon. I went back and forth on 3 stars versus 4 stars because while service was great and fast, I can't confidently say I'd recommend it to someone. I may say it's a great place to chill for a beer and an appetizer but definitely NOT a meal. I think if your expectations are to stick with the appetizer list then you're probably going to like it. They have a large beer selection and plenty of screens for your favorite games.

We expected service to take a little longer because of how busy it was, but Dustin made sure that we received amazing service! He continued to check on us to make sure we were well hydrated in whatever beverage of our choosing while we waited for our food orders. The food all came out hot and fresh. My husband and I chose the Armor signature burger and I decided to have a side of chili instead of fries and man was that filling! The chili had big chunks of beef in there and didn't have any beans. The cornbread was very moist and delicious with a little kick from the jalapeño. The burger was also very tender. My kids really enjoyed the Milwaukee pretzels because of how soft it was. It had the perfect mixture of sweet and salty and was very fluffy for a pretzel. Overall, I truly enjoyed coming here with my family for the food and great selection of beer.

You have to seat yourself - there were enough vacant tables to pick from. Within a few minutes, our server was over and helped us narrow down on what we wanted to order. I went for a Crushed Velvet Mule in addition to Cali, Buffalo (both grilled versions) and Burg B Q. We told our server that between me and my wife, we will be sharing the chicken sandwich and hence requested that it be sliced into 2. Not only were the burgers sliced, it was served in separate plates with sides as well - that was a really nice touch. Cali was a bit bland, Buffalo and Burg B Q were both really nice. The drink was nice as well. There was live music but we were seated near a table that was pretty boisterous, could hardly hear anything. The outdoor seating overlooking greenery and events they do at the restaurant make the place quite different - we will definitely be back soon to try other options on the menu.

    The #1 ordered item is the burger but it tasted like it was a frozen patty and the bun was stale…read more Somehow the chicken strips were equally disappointing. We didn't even finish our food and gave it to our dogs instead. The atmosphere was...gross and felt trashy with loud drunks. Daytime might be different but cheaper beer and much more enjoyable food is incredibly plentiful around here. We have no reason to return.
