    Huevos rancheros in back with veggie breakfast burrito in front. Both have veggie green chili.

    It's been a while since I've come here, and instead of brunch, we stopped for dinner after a little hike. The shroom burger was well received with thin crispy salty fries! I loved my Margherita pizza. I didn't love the prices ($20-$25 for individual pizzas), but it's a prime location. It makes sense. The folks working were really nice and efficient too. Glad I came back to give it a try!

    Wow! We loved this place. We ordered a burger, pizza, and salad to all share. It was perfect! Orlando was a very accommodating and kind server. And a great highlight was getting to know the owner Spencer. This man cares! It comes through every single ingredient. It's a family business so come support it.

    Pressed, processed chicken? Was it chicken?

    After a fun hike at Red Rocks Park we decided to stop in the small, quaint town of Morrison, Colorado, which boast a population of 400. There are many restaurants on the main street, catering to thirsty and hungry hikers. We came upon Tap On The Rocks restaurant which offered nice outside seating. We were greeted promptly and told to select any table on their deck, which is covered by a lattice roof. It's a nice, shaded deck. Water was quickly served, and after about 5 minutes our waitress came by the table and we ordered: * Cobb Salad $17.00: Grilled chicken, bacon, cucumber, tomato, olives, onion, egg, cheddar and mozzarella cheese, fresh mixed greens * House Salad $9.00 Spring Mix, Grape Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Fresh Mozarella * (2) Patty Melt $16.00 Pork & Beef Patty, Caramelized Onions, Swiss Cheese on Rye. I hate giving out 1-star reviews but Tap On The Rocks surely earned it. All four of us thought this was the worst lunch we've had in years (likely in the top 5 most terrible meals I've ever had). The Patty Melt was dry, seriously overcooked, had almost no cheese and the onions were raw red onions. Two of these melts were ordered, and they were both terrible, much of the sandwich left on their respective plates. My Cobb Salad was 95% lettuce, had a few tiny pieces of cucumber, a few strands of cheese, and two tiny bits of bacon. The chicken was some type of pressed, processed chicken, it tasted odd, was it chicken? I'm not sure if they ran out of ingredients, had an incompetent chef, or some combination of both. If you happen to be driving through Morrison, don't walk by Tap On The Rocks, Run!!

    Great food and a nice AC break from the hot weather. We stayed at Cliff House Lodge on the next block and wanted to eat before a concert at Red Rocks. You definitely want to add protein to the salad if you're not getting anything else. The pizza was hot and delicious. The crust was a little too charred for my taste so I ate around it. The pizza was still fabulous as leftovers after the concert There was a big TV inside so we watched the Olympics while waiting. There's also a separate bar area.

    Few things are better than a hardy and delicious breakfast after a long hike. And TOTR delivered! Great service, good food, beautiful day. We had our dogs with us and we were able to sit on the patio right away. They also have water bowls for your pups. I would return to try lunch or dinner for sure.

    We enjoyed so many things about Tap on the Rocks. We hadn't been here before and live really close by, so that's a huge plus. As usual, we sat at the bar and finally decided to stay after a bit of a drink order snafu. First, the good stuff: our waiter was awesome and he was as accommodating and explanatory as he could be. Thank you. The pizza (the Green Mountain with added basil) and fire roasted cauliflower bites that we ordered, was pretty delish. For some opportunities for improvement, at least from a customer's point of view: tidy up the area behind the bar. Move the trash bins to less conspicuous places or maybe even out of site like under or near the bar. Aesthetically, the bar backdrop where the oven fired pizzas are made could be tidied up. It is very easy to see into the kitchen and the myriad of condiment boxes and clutter. Maybe it was just us, but both my partner and I were put off with the clutter of the visible boxes, deliveries, condiments, trash cans, and packaging that could be moved elsewhere to improve the ambiance behind the bar, much less the clutter that we could see through the open spaces into the kitchen. Second: we attempted to order at least 4 drinks (2 each) and were told after each one that they weren't available for various reasons. Quick tip: grab a grease pen and mark these selections out on the menu so that folks are aware from the get go and not set up for disappointment. We almost left after feeling disappointment after disappointment with just the drink orders. The pizza and cauliflower bites did redeem the place and we'll likely be back. I'm not sure we'll sit at the bar, unless things have changed - maybe as it gets warmer, we can sit outside and enjoy the views - and update the rating.

We started with drinks; Mantanuska Moose and Summer Soltice. My friend, who is definitely qualified as persnickety, wasn't fond of the blackberry remnants clogging up the straw but slurped it down with no other complaints. My Summer Solitice was refreshing and came in a cute glass. It has been scientifically proven cute glassware improves the taste of a drink. I ordered the Wasilla Winter Berry Salad. I swapped out the raspberry jalapeño vinegarette for Bleu cheese dressing. Ordering this salad was in the top 20 good decisions in my life. The walnuts are divinely candied with cinnamon, the sweetness duelled with pickled cherry sweetness, while the goat cheese tossed in a few punches with its cranberry creaminess. I stole a couple fries from my friend and was underwhelmed by their bland taste and under the armpit warmth. If I were to review the burger from my friend's over all reaction of shoulder shrugging, I'd say it was okay. The atmosphere had a catching lunch with the work crowd vibe. 4 out 5 stars.

We came early enough that we got a booth no problem but note if you've got a larger party with little ones, you may have a wait - most of their seating options are high tops and they don't have highchairs.

I love huckleberry and will always get it if available and this did not lead me astray. We started with crab dip which was a hit even with our baby. For the mains, my husband got the meatloaf platter and was obsessed. I had their specialty burger (a mix of beef and elk) that included arugula, goat cheese, jam and some onions - also top notch. To finish things off we got chocolate raspberry cheesecake and... Wow. Delectable. If it's not obvious, the food here is epic and I love the concept and theme. Will happily return next time we're in the area. That cheesecake though....
