So I jumped in here quick because it was close to the hotel. Bar was mostly empty; was greeted with a smile and had drinks within 2 minutes. I only stayed for 2 drinks before having to leave unexpectedly, but the vibe was good and I was sorry to go. The bar is clean and there are 2 seating areas - one in the bar area and one behind a wall. Bartenders were great and the waitresses were all hustling. The tall dark haired waitress never stopped moving! Overall a short but great experience. I will definitely stop back in when in the area... read more

Ordered hot wings and nachos here today. Neither was any good. The nachos had what tasted like spaghetti sauce on them and were terrible. The wings were cold and not spicy and soggy not crisp. Wouldn't do this again... read more

Nothing horrible. That said we stopped by on a Saturday and were seated promptly. My biggest issue is that as a taphouse, how do you run out of 3 local brews from Burlington VT ? We finally found something decent. Our server was polite, but seemed overly distracted, not sure if she had too many tables or not. We saw our drink order at the bar and had to point her back at it to get them. The food was, sadly, hopelessly average. Not a lot of flavor. We were disappointed overall. Again, not worth the time and money spent. It's a great location, it's clean. We try to avoid the chain restaurants on vacation. Love trying the local places. This missed the mark. As we're in the area at least 4 times a year it's unlikely we'll waste our time. Good luck. read more

My husband and I ordered BLTs. I ordered one with avocado and he ordered just a regular BLT. When they came out, we both noticed there was no tomato on the sandwiches, an essential ingredient on a BLT sandwich. We told the bartender there was no tomato and he said oh yeah "I forgot to tell you we don't have tomato because right now they're really expensive to buy right now." What restaurant doesn't have tomato? Not to mention there's a grocery store about 2 miles down the road that they could go buy a box of tomatoes to get them through the night. I asked the bartender if you could take a little bit off the bill and he took two dollars off that was it. Ridiculous. We ended up going to the grocery store and buying tomato for the second half of our sandwich. So unimpressed by this restaurant. Get it together or you're going to lose customers fast. I also had to ask the bartender to pour me a full beer with no foam on top because in the past every time I've ordered a beer there there's about an inch worth of foam on top which is clearly not a 16 ounce glass of beer. It's too bad because we really like this place but they really need to get their shit together. read more

3 of us visited on a Friday for dinner at about 630. The service was not very good. It took a long time for a server to show up. She took our drinks orders but did not return for almost 15 minutes. One of our party only asked for water and that was never brought. Instead, it only arrived after we asked again when our food arrived. Two of us had the smash burgers and one ordered the fish and chips. The burgers were small, but tasty. Actually, this was the smallest pub burger I have had in many years. The fish and chips was not a traditional fresh fish fry, beer battered and crispy. Instead, it was obviously a frozen fish fillet. Also, the french fry portions were small. This was the first time in a long time when we all left with clean plates and still felt hungry. read more

Ryann is amazing!!! She goes above and beyond with her service. Always so so kind and caring. You're lucky to have her!!!!

Food, service, and ambiance were amazing. Great local beer selection. Highly recommend if you are in the Shelburne area read more

Shelburne Tap House - Burger with bacon and Swiss was delicious - American Near Me - Shelburne, Vermont

Great restaurant but I sat at the bar. Taco tuesday with great prices on tacos and margaritas. Menu selection was good and the food came out quick. Service was great and food prices are spot on. Plenty of tvs to watch your favorite team. Will be back read more

Maybe we just shouldn't have gone on a Sunday. We went here because we liked the look of their vegetarian choices on their online menu - come to find out it is a limited menu on Sundays that doesn't include the dishes that drew us in. We were fine just rolling with it so we ordered cauliflower wings and got chicken wings. The waitress apologized and then brought out partially burnt cauliflower wings. My husband ordered a beet burger and got an Impossible burger on a burnt bun. My son ordered falafels on his salad and got three small falafel circles on top of his salad for a $7 charge. The food was flavorless and the whole experience was enough to convince us not to go back to this restaurant again. read more

We are regulars at the Tap House and we are always greeted with a friendly face and great service! We really love the pepperoni pizzas, and the lobster rolls are the best we've ever had! Creative specials too! read more

Amazing food and fantastic atmosphere! The pizza is delicious!! This is a must stop when in Vermont!

Good service, good food and open 7 days a week (anyone else still offering that?), great place to meet and eat!

Great selection of beers on tap. Quick service and very friendly staff. Took the time to ensure we knew the various types of beers, especially local beers. More importantly, great happy hour prices! read more

Severely understaffed. Waited a long time for the host to show up as people piled up behind us. There were remnants of a left over holiday party and dirty tables everywhere. They sat our table of 6 and we waited for over 15 mins without water and just one menu to share. There was one waitress floating around but not acknowledging us. We ended up leaving without anyone noticing or saying anything. read more

Local taphouse gem with decent pub fare. Shelburne tap house has a decent beer selection. Combined with a decent variety of good, the tsp house is a very good lunch spot. We stopped in after a visiting the Shelburne museum, good choice. We had the crazy fries starter. It was definitely a good choice, fries topped with bacon were delicious. My entree was the fat cow burger which was delicious! The food servings were huge. Expect to take food home! ! Our server was friendly and efficient providing exceptional service. The ambiance was local decor and casual dress. The tap house is worth the visit when visiting north western Vermont read more

Our waitress, who was rude, added a 20% gratuity to our bill (almost $24), without asking. We were a 4 top and were in town looking at property. We are older and on a fixed income. We will not be back. read more

The Shelburne Tap House is a throwback to the 1980s. Decor is "eclectic" -- signs, various sports equipment and neon. We have been here twice before, and the burgers and sweet potato fries are quite good; other options not so reliable. I had the taco salad with lettuce, avocado, tomatoes, black beans and corn. I also ordered the $5 chicken topping -- a BIG MISTAKE. The chicken was a steaming, flavorless pile of gray and brown strings. It looked like a gloopy mass of yarn and had a weird chewy texture. Very unappetizing. A good chicken taco salad should include grilled, seasoned chicken breast or slices, similar to fajita strips. For an extra charge of $5.00 I did expect chicken that LOOKED -- and tasted -- like chicken! According to our server what they use here is "pulled chicken." Maybe someone left it in the crockpot too long? Most restaurants serve taco salads with Southwest or Ranch dressing, PLUS salsa & sour cream. However, the Tap House serves their taco salad dry. The idea is that you will mix in the little condiment cups of salsa and sour cream. You can do this, but the salad will still be dry. I asked our server for some balsamic vinegar dressing, which greatly improved things. (I scraped off the chicken goop.) One bright spot of our visit was our server. She was wonderful -- professional, kind and attentive. So one star for her! It's good to have a neighbrohood restaurant that can be an inexpensive, no-frills gathering place. But the FOOD should be delicious! The Tap House does have some reliable offerings, like the fries and burgers mentioned above. My husband had their coconut shrimp tacos, which were crispy and sweet. He said the dish was interesting, but he would not order it again. (He usually gets fish and chips.) I truly don't like to be unfair to a place like this -- it serves as a gathering place for the community, affordable and unpretentious. I really hope the Tap House will find a way to balance affordability with deliciousness. read more

Food best described as upscale pub food. Everything fresh and delicious. Love the poke and Buddha bowls, great burgers, excellent fish and chips. One of my favorite places in the area. read more

comfortable environment. My friend had BLT, I had Taco Salad. Both tasty. I asked for hot tea - server said none available. (What??) My friend asked for sweet Iced Tea and had to go look for sugar packets. In addition, they added lemon to the tea, which she never asked for. Server never stopped to ask us if we needed anything, just dropped off a ketchup bottle on a fly by without stopping. I may try again, but not impressed with service and the restaurant was more than half empty on an early afternoon. read more

I love the food here and since they have expanded the space to include a "House of Pizza and Subs," it is an even bigger reason to visit this establishment! Kudos also to their newly hired bartender, Kristin, who is incredibly friendly, attentive, and winsome (as are all of the staff.) But impressively, i just overheard another patron state that she is "the real deal." 'Nuff said... read more

Club sandwich was good, but chips were lacking flavor and crisp. I ordered a poke bowl and the fish tasted of licorice, which was new and slightly off putting. I'll likely choose something else in the future. read more

I am a foodie and I am judgy. Last night my family and I ate here and our meals were in my TOP 3 of all time favorite food. The winner??? Poke Nachos. I couldn't stop raving and eating and can't wait to go back for more! And the staff??? AMAZING! the owners were out and about chatting it up, our servers were on top of everything! I've know Gina for years- love how she takes a moment to chat and get a pic! I really can't say enough about how much I enjoyed the whole experience! It's a must go to!!! read more

Mediocire at best. Coffee horrible. Wait staff slow. Meal was ok. Five plus to their fried mushrooms. Seating ok if its not busy.

This is the second time I ordered but the first wasn't that great either. I don't understand why people like this place. Ordered a Buddha bowl with quinoa, roasted vegetables, sliced boiled egg, blue cheese, arugula etc. Got a salad with goat cheese, cranberries and almonds and didn't realize til I got home (it was takeout). read more

Went with my friend for dinner and a few drinks. Waitress made weird comments about my friends ID at the beginning of the meal and I should have known it wasn't going to be a good experience from then. The food was fine but the service atrocious. When my friend went to order another drink, the waitress told us she couldn't serve us another one because our table was reserved for another party and that we would have to leave so she was going to bring us our check. When I questioned the fact that they don't take reservations, her response was "we don't but we do for special people." She brought us our check and I let her know that she left a horrible taste in our mouth and as paying customers we deserved more respect than that. The waitress became defensive and started arguing. We just got up and left. Would not recommend giving your money to a place that doesn't respect the people that patronize it. read more

I am full blown Celiac. Went on Saturday night with two friends. I told the waitress my condition and I said that the kitchen usually cooks my wings in a separate pan, which she said they would do. The only other thing I ordered was a side salad. It was brought to the table with croutons in it and I explained that she would have to get me another one because I could not have them. She just looked at me funny, but took the salad. She brought it back, and I almost said something because it looked like the same salad but didn't. I was glutonized. Obviously, she just went back to the kitchen and took the croutons out. I was in the bathroom all day Sunday, and will be paying for this for many days. It doesn't just go away in a few hours. I went to the restaurant today and asked to talk to the manager, because I think it is important that a staff be trained as to what this disease can do to a person. After waiting for quite a few minutes the hostess came out and said the manager could not come out as she was too busy cooking. She said I could tell her and she would let the manager know. I told her the story and she was completely unfazed and did not really apologize or even ask for my name or phone number. Maybe I should have said on Saturday that I couldn't have any gluten instead of saying I was Celiac, but I honestly think anyone in the restaurant business should be well versed in either word. Gave 2 stars because they did cook my wings correctly. read more

Food was alright but the waitress was awful! She was rude, and not friendly at all. I will never eat here again.

Delicious food, great price point, and quick service. They offer pretty good daily deals on food and beers/liquor as well. I don't care much about the tvs, but they have 6 always playing sports. I just love the environment and vibe of the staff and customers as a whole there. I'll be going again and recommending it! read more

This is the first time I've been to this place but I will definitely be a regular! Our server Bella was so incredibly nice and friendly. She was the best server I've had and made us feel really welcome. I ordered the Coconut pineapple mojito and it was so good I could drink 30 of those. The fried oysters were amazing you should definitely get those. We ordered the harissa chicken bowl, turkey club, poke bowl, and burrata avocado toast and they were all amazing. read more

Stopped in to see the renovations. Place is much bigger and that is causing slower service. The bar is way too big for one bartender. Local folks here and the conversations cut into the attentive customer service. Ordered wings and a BLT. Wings were well cooked and the BLT toast was mediocre and it was not very generous on the B, L or the T. read more

Excellent service and I love the ambiance. The food was cooked perfectly with my salmon and I really enjoyed the Cauliflower Wings. I highly recommend coming here. You will not be disappointed. read more

Staff was friendly. Food was good. The Bavarian Pretzel with the cheese was amazing. Crab and corn fritters awesome as well. Very clean establishment. Traveling from NY. read more

What a surprise... most restaurants in the South Burlington Shelburne area do not serve lunch...so we decided to try the Shelburne Tap House as we entered the place we realized it was buzzing and pretty full...it was around 3 pm so I thought a lot of people must be TGIF ing it! What a surprise they were mostly older people having lunch . A lot of well dressed ladies having fun. The place was spotless ,the service excellent and the food really good try the fish and chips or the fried oysters. read more

It took a while to be seated, even though it wasn't super busy yet on a Monday at 5:30, but we weren't too concerned as of yet. Once we were finally seated, we were greeted by our server, but she proved to be not the friendliest or most efficient I've ever had. We ordered a burger, nachos, and soft pretzels to share. The nachos were burnt and it was basically one big flavorless heap of tortilla chips; our server didn't ask about our nearly full plate when she collected it at the end of our meal (she didn't check in with us during the meal, and she wasn't visible to us to get her attention). The burger was ordered medium rare, and it was cooked close to well done. The soft pretzels and beer cheese were good - but that's hard to mess up. My boyfriend asked about bourbon selections, but the server never followed up with him about whether he wanted to order something. The beer on tap was good, but not much selection for a "taphouse." Overall, poor service and poor food; it was a disappointment, and we won't be returning. read more

We came here last minute -- missed out on reservations downtown and didn't know what to expect. They took us right away at the bar. Nachos were delicious, as were the fall drink specials and IPAs. I got a bowl for dinner, and my husband ordered a burger. Both were very good. All waitstaff and hostesses were friendly, kind, and attentive. We are not locals, but if we come back, we will stop in here. read more

We have been coming here for many years but skipped about 18 months during covid. The food is great. But tonight we were witness to their new menu changes and we could not stop raving. We had mussels in a unique broth with baguettes for an appetizer which were outstanding. Then they added a new steak filet that my husband had over mashed potatoes and I had lobster and short rib pieces over a delicious fettuccine alfredo. To say our meal was an outstanding would be an understatement. We could not stop raving about it. Everyone should check out their newest menu. You will not regret it at all. The food is outstanding and the bartender, Sammie, and the waitresses like Dana, Susan and rest are great, Don't pass up this restaurant in Shelburne VT. Jack and Trish C. read more

Was in town for work from CA. Stumbled across this place being close to our hotel. I loved it. It was so cozy on a cold evening. The service was all warm and hospitable. Server recommended fish and chips and they were some of the best I've had. My coworker enjoyed the beet burger. I wish I could've tried more from the menu. Great place! read more

Hot food would be nice. Every Taco Tuesday cold main filling. We even asked to ensure it was hot when brought out based on previous experience. read more

LOVE IT!!! Every time with my Family!!! Comfy & cozy & tasty drinks. What else is there!?! Thanks 4 B n so local & cool. read more

See all

Traveling through on a bike tour. Decided to eat here since it was walking distance from the hotel. The Chicken & Pimento sandwich was fabulous, obviously a home made or modified pimento. The chips were good but we ordered a side of fries also and they were fantastic! My husband had a grilled cheese and he said it was a "man cheese sandwich". Local beers are always a good thing to encounter on travels. Zero Gravity's Conehead has become my husbands favorite IPA! read more
