My family and I come to tap-it regularly on Thursday nights for their $2 beers... their food is really good. I always get a southwest burger with a side salad, splendid every time. Their Mac and cheese is also superb. THE ONLY qualm I have with tap-it is the live music performers... don't get me wrong, doc Perkins and friends are all very talented. HOWEVER... the music is far too loud. It's hard to hear myself think or have intelligible conversation with those around. Other than that, this is a great spot to meet for casual drinks or to have dinner with friends/fam. I will always recommend this spot, though if you are sensitive to loud noise, I would steer clear. read more

Tap It Local in the heart of the Grassfield section of Chesapeake is a fantastic place to enjoy a great meal. They offer a wide variety of options on their menu that is sure to satisfy even the most discerning appetites. I enjoyed their classic cheeseburger served with Lettuce, tomato and pickles. This is a massive burger that can be difficult to get into your mouth. It's served piping hot and at your desired temperature. For me, it's medium and that is the way it comes out. The French Fries are perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. read more

We were in search of food and stumbled in here on a Sunday morning. What a pleasant surprise! Service was top notch. Food was perfect! No salt, pepper, or hot sauce needed. It was quiet with a couple patrons when we arrived. Never thought about brunch at a Tap House but we'll definitely eat here again when we're in Chesapeake. read more

AWe walk in and the music filled the air with upbeat rhythms and a lively crowd. Well the first let down was the lack of chicken for my chicken tacos or my wife's smoked wings but they had fried wings with a large array of various flavors. My family ordered a little of everything she crab soup, wings, burger, a Reuben and chicken finger and cheese curds. The Bartender came over and made my grandsons day by discussing his attire, adornment and hair she commented his flowing hair. Back the food the She crab had a good flavor but lacked thick and creamy consistency normally found in she crab soup, the chicken finger crunchy and juicy, cheese curds were a thumbs up burger was good and my grand son attacked his hot dog with extreme aggressiveness Overall it was just ok food not bad not life changing but see for yourself read more

Always a clean, sporty atmosphere with great hamburgers. The tap beer is not very cold, like cold,cold. Staff are friendly and hard working. Great little spot to step out for lunch as well. They do have machines to gamble if you like that, Wednesday evenings they have music bingo fun, shoot some pool or join a billiards team. read more

Great food and friendly staff. Looking forward to my next visit. A couple pool tables inside and a large bar and table seating. Also the lethal sauce is delicious if you like some spice! read more

The beer was not cold on tap, all the liquor bottles had sauce cups on top of them as if fruit flies were an issue, and the burger was not enjoyable. I cant really mention any positives about this place. Maybe i watched too much bar rescue... read more

Horrible place to eat in the summer. For years this restaurant's AC hasn't worked during the summer. Patrons and employees have complained and even left and they don't care. If it's 92° in the dining room, I cant imagine what the kitchen is like. Also, you can smell the sewer walking down the hall to the bathroom. When you tell the wait staff they just agree, roll their eyes and apologize. read more

Very disappointing. My son ordered the mahi tacos-picture shows two tacos with lots of meat and mango salsa with fries. he's picky so he didn't want the wasabi sauce or the veggies just meat and salsa. So, when we got his food it was literally a piece of fish the size of my finger on a dry tortilla and nothing else. No mango salsa which he did want! And only one taco. Very misleading. I asked for some money back and they refused. The rest of the food was ok at best. read more

The service can be a bit slow... but the good is very good. We normally order the Ruben's w/ onion rings or their potato wedge things. The Brussel sprout appetizer is absolutely delicious. We don't normally eat in anymore due to service and sometimes it's a bit loud but we will order out. They are open late so my husband can pick up on his way home from work and we can eat late night. read more

We had a good experience here this past weekend. We stopped in right at opening on Saturday with only 1 other couple in the place when we arrived. They have sanitizer right at the door, require masks for entry and have moved tables around to comply with standards for distancing. We chose a table next to the bar - a fully-stocked bar, I might add. They look like they could probably make any drink you asked for and then some. They also have a sizeable selection of drafts, which made us very happy! Our server/bartender, Lareina, was knowledgeable about the brews and pleasant to chat with. It definitely makes my husband and I both miss being able to actually sit at a bar and socialize. Drinks and meals were very prompt. Be prepared - their drafts range from $7-$10, which I find to be on the high end compared to other restaurants we frequent as well as local breweries. Hubby had a southwestern burger, which was well-cooked and came with house made chips. He ate every bite of both. I had a salad, subbed grilled chicken, and it was also very fresh and tasty with a good amount of chicken. The accompanying candied walnuts were so good! This place has a very cool vibe. There's a pong and billiard table room with some video games (21+), plenty of TVs for sports and the music was pretty good. It started filling up as we were leaving. I will definitely return for a laid-back lunch or dinner and some good beer! read more

This Tap It Local is located in the Dominion Commons Shopping Center. This place is fairly easy to get to and there is ample parking available as well. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. My visit here was in the afternoon on October 18, 2020. I don't normally come all the way out to Chesapeake that often. We came out to try the place during the Chesapeake Restaurant Week 2020. We came in around 4 pm. The bar area was pretty busy. It was clear that there were was little social distancing at that part of the restaurant. When we came in, we asked to be seated in the non-bar area, but they put us there anyways. At that time, we had to wait a moment for someone to come back and they moved us over to the main dining area, which was empty. After a few moments, our server Deo came to the table. We were given the regular menus, but asked for the restaurant week menu and ordered our drinks. When we got that menu, it was different than what was online. I ended up pulling up the menu on my phone from the restaurant week page to show him what is online. He did honor that menu online, but you could tell that he was surprised and didn't know that was out there. We were ready to order at that point and I went with the Bacon Cheeseburger and my mom went with the All American Burger (both on the Restaurant Week menu). After about 8 to 10 minutes, the burgers came to the table. The burgers looked really good and they were. The burger was hot and juicy and cooked the way as requested. All in all the food was great. Now, for the observations and experiences during the overall visit. As noted above the food was great and was never an issue. Service was lackluster at best and the primary reason for the two star rating. One thing off hand is that the server rarely wore his mask properly, or not at all. There were several instances where there was no coverage with the mask and other times just covering the mouth, but not the nose as well. Also, it was hard to get a hold of him when we needed to ask for a few things such as mustard, ketchup, and extra napkins. I did ask at one point when he did come over to ask to speak to a manager, but either the manager was busy and never came over, or was never notified we wanted to speak to them. In the end, the food was great and I hope this was just an off day. This place is about 30-40 minutes away from where I live, so I won't come this way very often. Although this experience will not have me rushing back, I would try them again in the future and hopefully things will be different then. read more

Oct 23 Restaurant week. Sunday, Looking at the restaurant selections, we decided to try Tap It in Chesapeake. Our first visit. Great service by Italia, I asked if they had a Porter beer, no, stout only in the dark beers. I decided on an IPA. very good, cold and crisp. We ordered Fried Pickles to start. Wow, These were great. Very thick, covered in seasoning, and very hot, a nice portion that we brought some home. Pickles were thick. Most likely prepared fresh. Could have been crisper, but the flavor and thickness of the Pickle made up for it. Wife ordered the Southwest burger and fries. Asked for extra crispy fries. I ordered a restaurant week special of a hot honey chicken sandwich with extra crispy fries. The sandwiches were great. highly recommend trying them. Fries, were TOUGH - CHEWY, not crisp, and not very hot. a total miss on the fries. these are the very first TOUGH & CHEWY fries i have ever had. the fries took away 2 stars. read more

This place is a bar! Adults only! Do not mistake the restaurant being there. 8pm to eat dinner with my 14 yr daughter. We should have left when no one was eating food and there was a small gathering around the bar. Service was ok. Food.. the burger I ordered dripped grease not in a good way, there were chunks of hard fat that I picked out. As we are waiting for our food a song comes on. F$ck this B@tch and it goes on for a min or 2 then someone cut the song. I thought well it's a bar.. they caught it... then as eating our food more graphic songs come on. N word, sexual, p@ssy left at your house, just not appropriate when you have teenagers still in your restaurant. Decide if you are a bar or a restaurant. read more

The food is ok as it is a hit or miss. When they first opened it was phenomenal as time has lapsed we never know if it's going to great or just blah. The ambiance is exciting on certain days like Thursday and on weekends. The servers are ok, they are very few for the size of the place, so expect to wait unless you are seating at the bar. read more

We have been eating here for two years but now I don't know if we will anymore after today. Not only is ONE mediocre bacon avocado chicken sandwich now $18.50 but they're starting to charge extra for sides like these burnt chips. I called and they said I could come in for more but I'm not risking them messing them up again. I wouldn't even feed the burnt chips to my dogs. They made me gag. Super bummed because they used to have the best fresh chips around! read more

The food might have been decent had it come out when it was made and served hot and this place had more than one person working there. Took us over an hour to get water for the table, about an hour and a half for our food to get served which came out room temperature and one of the meals was brought out wrong and the right one came out after everyone else was done eating. Hire some staff, and i might be willing to try it again. read more

I'm not going to totally dump this place off on the side of the road, but if I don't ever go back, I wouldn't be upset. The food was tasty but the mega, crunchy, huge bun wasn't the easiest thing to jam into your face. It wasn't dry but it was painfully big and awkward. The meat was overcooked on everyone's burger and it didn't have much flavor to it. I got the Southern burger that was supposed to have fried pickles, but I couldn't find any. There were no redeeming factors to this mass of food they called a burger, but I was hungry and apparently didn't mind the pain of the bun shredding my mouth, so I finished it. The side I picked with my burger was my favorite. Crab Mac & Cheese!!! So tasty but I kind of wish I would've just got a huge order of it and nothing else. I let my friends try it and doing that even felt wrong because I felt my stomach get a bit jealous. The beers there... I'm not proud of that experience at all. Our waitress was taking a great amount of time getting our drinks, then came back a good number of times saying they're out of it. Then she didn't even let us know about the special of a burger and a draft beer for $10! That's a major shot to my stomach feelings with that one-two combo! I was sold. But as you read before this, it was quite disappointing. For being a "tap" place, I figured there'd be more beers on draft. At least they carry alot of beers that are brewed in the state of VA. At least there's that... read more

I remember as a kid wishing I had super powers (I got the idea from watching Saturday morning cartoons with Superman, Batman, and other Super Heroes). Having the ability to become invisible whenever I wanted sounded so cool! Apparently, I have this skill and don't even know it! Unfortunately, it must not be such a great or unique power after all -- as the other people I went to Tap It with, were also invisible. When we arrived, we found a table a sat down. We waited for about 15 minutes before leaving. During that time, someone wearing a pink Tap It shirt looked over at us....but didn't bother to take our order, let alone even acknowledge us. It ended up being a good thing that this happened. We ended up eating at Bad Habits, enjoyed a delicious meal, and received great service. You don't have to take my word for it. If you want to experience being invisible for yourself, be sure to stop by Tap It. read more

New on the bar scene. Great place to go if you're in the area. I got the seafood Mac and cheese and it tasted really rich. I guess I could have used a little more shrimp for the price but I can't say it wasn't good. The beer selection is on the smaller side but it was quality over quantity with this place. Huge shout out to abbey, the waitress, who is only on her second day but really knows the menu inside and out. read more

My boyfriend and I have been Scoping this place out for awhile. We finally decided to stop in and check it out. I'm so glad we did!

Food was amazing. Great atmosphere. Think we found our new spot. read more

Would like to give 3.5*. Been coming for a few years and still seeing the prices creep up. Burgers are 5$ more on average. 2$ wings..

They are great and make it hard to leave. Hopefully owners start looking at their pricing read more

I had to drop a star based on my last visit. And granted 98% of the menu is absolutely amazing... The bathroom felt like it had oil slick on the surface...i almost fell while peeing, ill just say that. FOOD: i like the attempt of creativity with the fried green tomatoes...but just fry them, leave the vinaigrette (if that's what it was, and blue cheese out of it) "Jamaican Jerk" chicken: TAKE IT OFF THE MENU! Please, if i brought a jamaican in to take that, they would feel like you insulted their culture. MUSHROOMS DO NOT GO ON JERK PROVOLONE CHEESE DO NOT GO ON JERK The flavor was waaayyyy off. My year old ordered it and was really bothered that they called it jerk. My family frequents authentic jamaican cuisine. ...and that aint it. The waitress was amazing. Took 6 peoples orders...with picky details and didn't mess a single order and was very pleasant and attentive read more

This is the second time in a month we have been here. The first time we only had apps, and they were very limited in what was available. Food was good but the AC must have been broke because it was HOT in there. Fast forward 3 weeks later out of the same apps and the pizza we got was burnt on the bottom like eating cardboard crust, we have had it before and wasnt bad. The real problem is the HEAT. The AC was down again and this time it was even hotter than before. For the price they charge for beer and food there is no reason for the AC not to be working. read more

Normally one of my favorites. Tonight, epic fail. Brought my son in for some AYCE (All You Can Eat) shrimp at 6, maybe one other family in the restaurant when we got here. 50 minutes later we left, without food, and went to Taco Bell. "Forgot to heat the water up." Been warned, tonight was not a good look for TapIt. Other than that one bad experience, TapIt has been a go to for good food and atmosphere. read more

So, we just left our second "burger and pint night ". It was good until the second time ...on 2 occasions, a bug crawled up on the counter, not sure what it was..attacking the food. This time the owner was there, (who has never come and greeted us in the past few years), happened to smash IT ON THE BAR. No acknowledgement, no apology whatsoever and he was literally right beside us. The server/bartender was very apologetic and actually a bit embarrased that I commented the owner did not obviously give a crap. I just can't go back to a place that is obviously unclean and uncaring. Pending a health dept email asap... gross read more

Terrible all around. We were only the third table on a Saturday night. It was a half hour before anyone took our order, and another hour before we got any food. We stayed because the food used to be great, but not anymore. The burgers were dry, and tasted mostly like the bun. There was no way the were 1/2 lb. as listed on the menu. The only good part of the meal was the fried Brussels sprouts, but they were an extra $4 on top of an $18 burger. To add insult to injury, they no longer have any games for kids. read more

I don't know why we keep giving this place a chance. Not only has the staff gone downhill but they refuse to cash you out if you win on the Queen machines. We've tried 3 times and still get the excuse of not being able to pay us.

It's got decent food but they often don't have a decent lager on draft. Literally they only have shit beers like bud light on draft, for the lager choice. At a bar that specializes in craft beer. They don't have a decent option for the most popular type of beer. Oh and they have scratched up qr code things so it takes 10 minutes to even read the dam menu because the only other option is the TV menu across the room that cycles through the beers every so often. So what do I want? I don't actually know because I don't know what beers you have. Why is it so difficult for me to give you my money? I live 5 minutes away and I'm reconsidering whether I come here anymore. read more

I so wanted to give this place a good review. The menu looked great but pricey. Server was nice and polite but absolutely EVERYTHING is way overpriced. The appetizer portions were very small and the fries were soggy and cold. The burger I ordered medium rare came out medium well to well and although very, very greasy, it was dry and tasteless. Bacon on burger was cold and slimy...not crispy at all. I got onion rings as a side instead of fries ($4 upcharge BTW) and they were all stuck together and doughy on the inside. I couldn't even eat them. I took a few bites out of the burger but the server did stop back until everyone was done with their meals So I had no ability to send it back. I had to ask 3 times to have it taken off the bill. I don't imagine we will ever go back there. Now I know why the place was very dead for a Friday night. Even then, service was so slow. I have had better food and service at Burger King. read more
