    Pressed, processed chicken? Was it chicken?
    Alan B.

    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.

    Sign showing this is parking for the restaurant.

    WARNING!!! Only one side of the parking lot is free parking for the restaurant and those spots are likely filled with the employees vehicles.The spots along the street are apparently paid parking for the city and not properly marked as pictured below These are the most visible signs when entering the lot. The painted wording on the paid spots are very faded and not visible if cars are already parked there The food and service was ok. Would have given more stars if not for the parking issue. The restaurant could warn their patrons about this or a notice on the tables prior to sitting down.

    They have artificial turf four your puppies!

    I reserve the right to change my rating because I probably will on the next visit. And upgrade it. The view is awesome the service is awesome. The wings were terrefic. However....23 dollars for a double titos is fine around these parts....if they were actually doubles. We will give it another go at some point.

    This place is located down the road from us a quaint downtown Morrison. It used to be called TNT Kitchen and we have visited several times. Once the new owners took over the place actually improved in many ways, interior decor, staff and quality of food. One thing remained, high value breakfast menu. On this occasion I ordered the Breakfast Tacos with chorizo and house potatoes selection. The tacos were very delicious. Most items on the menu are very traditional without attempt to be different. The service was above average with attention and pleasing attitude. Nice place for breakfast, especially when visiting Morrison. We will continue to dine here when COVID regulations allow.

    I was lucky enough to be at the First Brunch Service, and man was it delicious!!!! This the best breakfast patio spot in Morrison! Food is fabulous and the service is amazing! Such a good vibe in this place.... Definitely stop by if you are in Morrison. You won't regret it! And don't forget to ask for Cambri..... best server ever!!!!

For apps, the fried avocado is my favorite (Mexican street corn, Cotija, bacon, chipotle aioli) and their deviled eggs are a nice, reliable choice too. The star of the show is the 242 Smashed Burger (their brisket + short rib blend) is incredible -- juicy, flavorful, and consistently well-executed. Might be the best burger I've had. I've also loved the meatball sub and on another visit enjoyed the short ribs -- all solid entrees. Portions are generous and the menu has a lot of thoughtful, tasty options. Service has been consistently good on every visit -- friendly and attentive staff who keep things moving without feeling rushed. Owner Dave is always welcoming when he's around, which makes the place feel community-oriented and genuine. Overall I highly recommend Tavern 242 if you're in the area -- great burgers, tasty apps, dependable service, and a comfortable atmosphere.

    The food was good. Easy menu, standards that were well done. Best part, pear gin drink. Excellent!!…read moreIf you like sports you will love that every inch of the place is well covered with TV's. We went for 11 am lunch, so the service was not as attentive because the servers were slow. We are looking forward to coming back on our way to red rocks concert as this is the perfect stop off place.
