Mac and beer cheese burger and fries
Rhett B.

My sister-in-law is a student at Purdue and chose to celebrate her birthday at The Tap. The menu is really diverse with wings, burgers, sandwiches, pizza, and tacos. I ordered the Mac and Beer Cheese burger that came with seasoned fries. The burger had a freshly made patty with a brioche bun. Bacon, tomato, red onion, and lettuce came on the burger as well. The mac and beer cheese came grilled on it and seemed to soak up some of the cheese. The one complaint I bad about the burger was that it wasn't cheesy enough. The fries were fantastic! They had some kind of seasoning and went well with the parmesan garlic aioli that came with it. I love sauce and I asked the waitress for a Kickin Bourbon BBQ sauce on the side. That would be the first sauce I put on wings with its sweet but spicy Bourbon kick. The service was good for a Saturday afternoon and the stools are pretty comfy. Plus, I love the TVs every where. I would try the Tap again as the burger was good overall.

Came in last night for dinner, and won't be in a hurry to come back. Pros - Atmosphere was great with mix of students/staff/faculty. - Location was good and despite the parking across the street being blocked due to new high-rise, still a good deal of street parking nearby (not ideal for handicap parking however) - Tap fries were good (good seasoning) but food was room temp when we got it. Cons - Service was SLOW!!! Took 10 minutes to have drink order taken, and another 20 after asking for bill to get it. - Thought I'd try an Indiana bar staple (tenderloin) and it was burnt and tough as leather (almost). Also the bun was not the freshest (didn't taste it anyway). Could have been worse, but for a eh-busy Wednesday night dinner, could have been better. Won't be rushing back, but may try again.

Same beer (LOL)

Below average night at The Tap. Server was sweet, but often disappeared completely for long periods of time. They were not busy and had plenty of staff. We never received our actual entrée which were the sliders and to top it all off, my wife was overcharged for her beer and then told that it was the same as the beer one of our friends at our table was drinking and as you can see in the picture they're not even close. And, as others have pointed out this place is about 50% more expensive than it deserves to be.

I know the picture sucks, but the pizza was worse. It was about 5 minutes under cooked. I have no idea how they took it out and thought it was done. Grab a drink here and eat at a Purdue place that is known for good food.

This place is the perfect college town vibe! Absolutely love their pickle fries and bean fries! A must try

Beer Cheese Burger
Brianne T.

Had a great lunch! Caroline was so attentive and we just kept throwing questions at her. We so appreciated the GREAT service, delicious food (FRIES WERE AMAZING- note: GET THE BEER CHEESE), and beer selection. We have been wanting to try Purple Haze- Abita- and they had it! Thank you! And Caroline ROCKS! Would have sat and drank MUCH MORE beer- but- alas- it's only noon

Angus slider with Tap fries and parmesan garlic aioli dipping sauce

A fantastic selection of beer! We have been here several times over the past year and a half and they always have new beers on the menu that they must be rotating through. I think this visit I tried the Dragon's Milk, which is a milk stout, and it was wonderful. Very dark and rich. The food is also good! This angus slider is the best thing I've had from here! Lots of flavors happening all at once, especially if you drizzle a bit of the aioli on the burger...yum! The atmosphere is a lot of fun with the decor and music, but it may be difficult to find a table for more than 6 people, especially if they're busy. Most of the table only sit 4-6 people it looked like. They also have live music here but we haven't been able to make it yet, sounds like a lot of fun though! Great place for beer and burgers with friends after work!

An odd mix of extremely high prices, some beers are twelve bucks for a tiny glass, a tiny slice of cake is ten, need a basic burger and fries try twenty dollars after tip, and completely mismanaged staff; over fifty visits for trivia we had delightful and appalling waiters every other Tuesday. One of my friends worked here for a couple months and reported the entire setup is run over by no clear direction from too many opinions, it shows. The drunk campus quality wouldn't be surprising or frustrating considering Harry's is just as crazy except for how easy it is to reach fifty on just two basic drinks and a meal. Harry's and Brothers and even Buffalo Wild Wings make The Tap look like smug rich digs however one second changes that with the extremely noisy and audio assaulting indoor atmosphere. It makes for an unusual place to host trivia where we not only have to speak directly into the ears of our group to discuss the questions but also to our waiters when ordering. Seems to be a bunch of management and owners here who only ever discuss what they want for this place through emails because the lack of consistency and oversight is hilarious for a campus hotspot. Any other place especially Town & Gown, Red Seven, AJs, and even Applebees are entirely more enjoyable, consistent, easier on the wallet, and providing a better atmosphere. It is a disappointment because the massive draft selection on tap, burgers of the month are huge winners, and gathering a large group for trivia once a week should be the makings of a local hot hit! But after a year of weekly trivia, seeing the insane prices on basic average food items like the apps, desserts, beers, while getting no consistency, has run over all the fun fantastic outdoor seating, big beer menu, and incredible burgers. The Tap is more like The Crap.

We stopped for lunch time snack and was greeted very nice and had great service…read more The Flatbread Deluxe and our two beers were very good. Plus we even got to meet the real Possum and the other stuffed possum greeter. Decor was also perfect and relaxing. Locals were very welcoming even to us out of staters.

I'm gonna be like Ed McMahon on Star Search and give Teays River Brewing & Public House …read more.. (drumroll) ... three and three-quarter stars. I realize that referencing Star Search is some washed unc behavior, so forgive me. You probably don't even know what I'm talking about. But let's focus on the fact that I really want to give this place four stars, and so I did, because Yelp doesn't allow fractions, so I rounded up. But Teays is getting four stars with a couple of caveats. We'll just get it out of the way. I don't know if the burgers always taste like nothing, but we got two burgers today (the Burnworth Burger and the cheeseburger on the kids' menu), and both reportedly tasted "weird" and like "nothing." I didn't believe it until I tasted the burgers, and yep, nothing. Imagine if you suddenly got Covid and lost your sense of smell and taste. That's what the burgers tasted like, despite the Burnworth Burger having things like hatch chilis and red pepper aioli on it. Very weird! Maybe we just visited at an off time when the cook forgot to season the burger patties. Who knows. My meal, however, was great. I got the pulled pork sandwich, and the pork was so tender and flavorful, it almost didn't even need the small cup of barbecue sauce that it came with. It also came with some coleslaw and a choice of a side. (I chose fries.) I also got a pint of the Trauma Llama Ding Dong, which is a hazy IPA. It was very good! I do love a good IPA, and this one is made by Teays. This is a kid-friendly brewery, with lots of seating outside. Inside, there's a big bar for adults, but also lots of seating for groups and families. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant for parents who want a place to get a beer and also relax because their kids are more than welcome.

I haven't been to LBC in several years, so I was excited to see specials listed on a board out…read morefront. Today, I was after a bowl of soup. It was early and a table full of local law enforcement was having lunch. Always a good sign when the locals eat there. They are housed in an old building. There is patio seating, bar area seating an another large dining room with a large beer mural. We got a table by the window. Matthew was the only server working when we arrived. He was friendly and made recommendations despite being busy. He said the soups are homemade and a guy comes in a makes them a couple times a week. The soup of the day was a Turkey Alfredo. The soup was creamy, hearty and thick. The seasoning was perfect, not too much salt. I would have traded some of the noodles for a few more vegetables. But it was really good none the less. The Tap Room Chicken Sandwich,bbq pulled chicken topped with melted cheese and deep fried onion wedges, stole the show. A generous portion of the chicken topped a fresh chewy pretzel roll. The onions were unique and delicious. Sandwiches come with fabulous house made chips. Soooo good, golden brown and not too salty. Yum. His sandwich was $2 off as a daily special. There's free street parking the building is accessible with no stairs. Kid friendly with kid menu. Adult friendly with bar. I'll be back to try the happy hour specials.

I visited with a group of friends. The server was great and the food was pretty good. The wings…read morewere not all sauced, but were pretty good. The ranch was really good. The seasoned fries were hit or miss. Some were seasoned some were not. Overall it was good and I would visit again.

Researching their website, we were convinced this was the place to be on our "chasin' racin'" weekend. My companion noticed that the clientele was quite diverse. I noted that also. We both agreed it was a sign of a thriving establishment. Autumn was our server and she was a lot of fun. Conversant, knowledgeable of the menu, and attentive, she was just great. One of my sides was a Caesar Salad. It was copious to the point that I could not finish it when it was appropriately brought out ahead of time. As a diabetic, I am concerned about carbs, but the Alaskan Whitefish grabbed me . While my plate was messy, I peeled off the coating and enjoyed the nice tender fish inside. In Tennessee, corn pudding is different than what they brought me, but it was wonderful. Bread pudding of the day was S'mores. I had my fill, brought home the rest and my family loved it. Local history was abundant. The menu held an article on local history and the lobby had many historic photos of local interest. I took many photos of them for remembrance. Chances are I will never return to Kokomo. But if I do go back. This is where I will dine.
