Best burgers in town. Service is okay... it sucks walking in there on bingo night, getting seated by the speakers and getting stared at by senior citizens because we're a minority... But the food is awesome so whatever! read more

Went here on a Tuesday night, had the taco special for 5.99 and a whole lot of 3.50 Margaritas. The tacos were actually pretty good, I had steak and my boyfriend had the ground beef. Drinks were great and strong!! The decor isnt great here, nothing fancy but service was good. We had a pregnant waitress who was really nice and on top of it. She had to have been at least 7 months but checked on us often. I would visit again. read more

Good food! Lots of choices on the menu. I had the Reuben sandwich and it was really good. Side salad was fresh. Husband and son had hamburgers and ate everything on their plates. Nice area outside with umbrellas. Good place to enjoy a beer on a weekend afternoon. Server was fast and courteous. We will be back! read more

My husband and I went into this establishment for a date night out and were simply ignored. We stood in the doorway for a few minutes. Then we moved in further. We stood in the doorway between the doorway and the bar. A waitress passed by us a few times. A couple of bus boys looked at us. We finally left. It was so awkward. When a customer comes in, please acknowledge their existence. It turned out ok though, we went down the block and back one street and had the best Mexican food EVER! read more

My family really enjoys the food there. They have excellent burgers and will soon be offering some exciting new dishes. The staff there is also very friendly and helpful. The live music later in the night is also a plus. We'll be back! read more

I love eating here. The food is awesome. Only thing keeping it from a 5 star is the service. It's probably the slowest I've ever seen, and I've almost never gotten my food as I ordered it (but it's still very good). The food is good enough to justify the wait for me, and while the service is slow, the staff is always friendly. read more

Not a very friendly place. Our waitress was very short with us & just not friendly at all. Basically she had zero customer service. It was my husband & I 1st time here & I told her that & it seemed like she still didn't even care. My husband and I had 1 drink each, ordered food & before we even got our food, decided that we wouldn't get a 2nd drink & that we would just eat our food & go have a drink at Moe Joe's or Tap house!!!! I will never come back here ever again! The deals are what made us come in & check out the place bt I would rather go somewhere else, pay more & get treated better!!! read more

I work in downtown and i needed to get a lunch so i decided to try this place out. I got the hamburger on a regular bun and i got sweet potato fries. I typically NEVER eat sweet potatoes but the fries were so delicious!! Another time i got the hamburger on a pretzel bun and onion rings. The pretzel bun was too small for the meat but the onion rings made up for it. Customer service is perfect and i will definitely come back. read more

The gold standard against what all dive bars are judged ... in fact, I was a little bummed out that they're modernizing the Tap to the times, by adding nice tables, chairs, and a beer garden ... but that's beside the point. Cheap beer, one step above frozen pizzas, jukebox? SOLD! read more

This place is awesome. A gem in the middle of downtown Plainfield. Awesome burgers, awesome pizza. And great staff. More of a local joint, but that's what helps make is so great. A good taste of Plainfield. read more

Good downtown " oldtown" kinda bar and restaurant. Great burger! Meat was fresh made not frozen. Will be back especially since they are an official Blackhawks bar. Would have been 5 stars but we didn't get even get a greeting until about 15-20 sitting at a table when we were finally asked if we had been taken care of. We had free popcorn to tide us over so it's ok. read more

I might be a little bias on my review but I just love this place. I travel far to come hangout at this place b/c the staff are awesome (once they get to know you). The food is the typical bar food but I am a little bum that they took away my favorite dipping sauce for my chicken fingers. The drinks are your standard drinks. It's a great place to hangout with friends and family. You have to go on Tuesday or Friday nights and meet the awesome bartender (Christa)...she's the BEST! read more

Best steak sandwich around. Tender, juicy and just the right amount. Fries good. Alternative coleslaw great. Good service even when busy. Local place worth the drive to downtown Plainfield. Other menu items equally as good. Fair prices. Outdoor seating available in season read more

Stella pints $6. About a $1.00-$1.50 higher than anything in Suburbs. City prices 40 miles outside the city. Burger was very good, but again, very high priced. I'd go again, but too expensive to hang out at and have a few beers. read more

This place is awesome, however, I paid for TouchTunes credits and played a song. Seems like the bartenders skipped my song so it was a waste of my money. Super disappointing. read more

This bar was really fun. I think my favorite part about this place was the smoking section in the back. There was a live band there when I went (Saturday night). The nachos I had were a little boring but still taste good. read more

Just decided never again for food only beer. It's nice to sit outside on a beautiful day but the service is less than stellar. I'll stick to the Bar top. Lastly six dollars for a bowl of what seems to be canned soup is absolutely ridiculous. That was the biggest disappointment of the entire day. read more

Do not spend any money here. They hire thieves! Daniella was our waitress and she pocketed $20 cash we used to pay part of our bill. When we confronted her she acted like she didn't know how to do basic math (addition/subtraction) or knew what we were talking about. It's now three days later and the credit cards that my friends and I used to pay the remainder of our bill with were all charged for twice as much as we signed for! Luckily we kept our "customer copy". But, when two of us called the manger, Ray, and the owner, Steve, it was "definitely an honest mistake" and "having trouble with their payment system" and due to her "Quick fingers" on the screen!! All a bunch of b.s. Save yourself the trouble of having your money stolen and some ridiculous excuse to make up for it. We will never go there again and it's unfortunate how many friends of ours won't either. read more

Good place to watch the Blackhawks or your favorite sports team. A bit noisy but comfortable relaxed atmosphere serving above average bar food at reasonable prices. read more

Friendly and inviting staff, great bar food, and a fun atmosphere. Home town bar that is inviting and always a good time.

Very good food. Specials everyday. Wonderful staff. Very attentive to their customers. Friendly place with some type of fun activity every night. Oldest bar in Will County with a loyal fan base. Welcomes everyone. Community favorite. Our go to place for food and fun. read more

Staff is always very friendly, great food and great drinks. Love the band's on the weekend. Great place to hang out.

Been here a few times and never had issues, which ended tonight. We had a twenty month old baby with us and there were no high chairs where the safety straps worked. We ordered 3 pizzas and 2 were incorrect. The service seemed slow and inattentive. I told the manager and she was quick to blame our server on the wrong pizzas. Really? Who's running the place? The server? She did comp us on the two pizzas but made me feel like she was doing us a favor in doing so. Too bad, I used to like this place, now I'm not sure I'll ever go back. read more

Decided to go here randomly on a Friday night. Surprisingly, there wasn't a wait. We requested seating in the patio. Our server was okay, not the best. Wasn't super personable. Our order consisted of the Philly chicken sandwich, chicken nachos, one Angry Orchard, and a Cider Boys peach cider (with a glass). Our drinks came out and upon pouring my peach cider in my glass, I noticed lip stick marks from someone who've used it previously (see photo). Food was served from a random employee, not our actual server. Silverware was not provided at the table and we forgot to ask for it when are food came out. We waited about 5-7 minutes hoping our server would come to see how everything looked and if we needed anything else. Nope. We then went inside and retrieved our own silverware. Food was 6/10. Basic pub food. Nothing special. Overall, not the best experience. Two stars because of the lipstick mark on the glass. read more

See all

Great food great service and half price on most food items and drinks on Sunday

Always a good time and great prices and specials throughout the week. BBQ wings are amazing! read more

This bar has a neighborhood bar feel. They have their regulars but the service and friendliness makes you feel welcome. Prices are reasonable. Menu is bar food but up a notch in preparation and ingredients. Steak sandwich was very tender and perfectly cooked. Philly cheese was a cheesy mess but very tasty. Its a good go to for a quick bite and a couple cold beverages. read more

I have only been here a couple of times. The first time was years ago, and it was a decent place to hangout for a birthday celebration... fast forward to December 20th of this year. Another birthday celebration... although it is still a decent place, the bartender was one of the rudest people I have ever encountered. She ignored everyone whenever we walked up to the bar for a drink. She was usually too busy talking to people at the bar about her personal life. F*** seemed to be her favorite word. When she did finally help any of us, she acted so annoyed. Needless to say, we won't be celebrating anymore birthdays here. read more

Went with my wife and three kids for dinner. Food is probably very good. Unfortunately they only had one server for approximately 20 tables. She was great though. We started with quesadillas and pretzels bites. Both were very good. Then we ordered three burgers, cheese pizza, and a chicken wrap. Long wait for the food. My burger came uncooked and still cold. Everything else was cooked well. When my burger came back after the second try it was on new plate without the fries or other sides. They ran out! The bill came in at $76 for basic restaurant staples. Portions were not gourmet either. I will try them again. Maybe just an off night. read more

I just visited Uptown Tap for about 2 hours. I was there a week ago on Tuesday with my daughter that just graduated from College on Cruise night. The girl bartender never seemed to care whether or not she made her patrons feel comfortable. She was cold & Kalos the whole time ,so I chalked it up as her having a bad night. I went there tonight after work around 6 to have a couple beers & maybe a sandwich. I saw a few older people who grew up in this town , had a few beers &. then one of them left & another youngergetleman sat down next to me & sat there for probably about 7 - 10 minutes before being served. No biggie ,the bar was about half way packed so I thought they will eventually get to him but the gentleman next to him , who is a regular for probably 40 years said very politely, hey I think this man needs a drink. The bartender got very short & rude & then proceeded to tell him she has had with my end of the bar. I never said a word to her in the total couple hours I was there except to say yes I would like to have a beer & thank you. it & then let's the gentleman ordering the drink know that she's done with this end of the bar on a couple times. I asked the other bartender why she said that when there was only the 3 of us &. I don't know the guy to left & the gentleman to my right I see about once a year & he is always polite & he even apologized to the other bartender that he didn't mean to step on any toes. Wasn't good enough. I have been going there for 30 years about 6 or 7 times a year & Ive seen this bartender act rude to other patrons but now I know it was probably not the patrons . The service has gone down the tubes . Just think ,it's the evening & twice I've seen this attitude in the last 2 weeks. read more

Very cool vibe, but unfortunately not good service or food. Burgers were very greasy and not cooked well. They definitely need more staff on Thursday nights not enough servers for how busy it gets. They need a hostess a lot of customers standing around not knowing to seat themselves (no sign telling to do so, that would probably help). With proper floor management and better cooks it could be a really good place. read more

Great place to go for a drink and a quick bite to eat. They have good homemade soups and amazing specials. One of a few places you can go to watch games with the sound and a big screen. Good live music too. Stacey is the best. read more

Food is good, just very disappointed with the cost of " craft " beers. I don't see how they justify $6 for a Sam Adams on a Thursday Night. We are not in Chicago. read more

Running errands with my boyfriend on a beautiful day and thought we would stop in downtown Plainfield on a patio for a few dollar beers. First choice was mojoes but we wanted to sit outside and their patio was packed. Uptown, next door looked dead outside so we decided to go over there for the dollar domestic special. Didnt see a server so just went to the bartender and ordered two Coors lights, which we assumed were on special. He transferred us to a server outside, totally fine, but when we got our bill it was $28... We had Coors lights bottles so obviously it was a draft special. My boyfriend went inside twice to talk to the bartender/manager, Ray, about the confusion and was completely brushed off. Reguardless of the fact Uptown doesnt have Coors on tap, it would have been appreciated to be reminded of the special, especially since we ordered domestic beers. Come on. Just had enough cash on us to to cover the bill, hardly leaving the waitress with enough money to tip out the bartender who transferred the check to her. Totally embarrassing!! Hopefully, Ray doesn't treat his employees like his guests so the waitress can keep his tip out for the day. Thanks for making us feel like jerks Ray. Do not see a reason to visit Uptown again, when the service and food is so much better next door. Totally feel robbed. read more

If you're looking for a fight... go to this place... They have the right attitude to ruin any sort of nice night. It's a dive bar, with dive food and rude bartenders. Go next door instead. read more

Great food and friendly staff! The tacos are to die for (three for $5 on Tuesdays)!! Prices are really good, there are specials most nights. Live music on weekends makes a great atmosphere. Great place as far as suburban night life goes! read more

Uptown Tap is one of the worst establishments in the area. They attempted to revamp their image by updating the decor and improving their menu. Unfortunately, however, their food is simply overpriced bar food. All of the prices went up, and the food is horrible anyway. Their drink prices are way too high for a sub-par bar in Plainfield, Illinois. Overall, this place is pathetic. read more

good food. good service. nice to sit outside early evening. use the restaurant.com coupons everytime we go there can't beat IT. not a yuppie place. next to mo joes its the best one in plainfield read more

So-o-o-o disappointed to find the wonderful Uptown fish sandwich is now a thing of the past. That beautiful large fish filet on a baguette is now a couple of filet-o-fish squares perched on bread chunks. Gone also is the homemade tartar sauce. It is still a tasty sandwich -- but not the same. Wish they could have raised the price rather than switching to the current fish sandwich incarnation . . . it was a reason for going to the Uptown. read more

Went there on a busy night but it took forever to get waited on and to get our food. We all felt ignored which tends to be very annoying. If you don't mind spending over 2 hours for a bite to eat then go there. I gave it 2 stars because the food was good but not worth the wait for a sandwich. Won't be returning. read more
