Philly Tap & Tavern

Went for lunch on 5÷10÷16, with a friend. Service was great but food? I had the Roasted Turkey with Mashed Potatoes and green beans. Turkey was light orange color with no flavor, looked more like sliced salmon. Green beans were hot but hard as rock. Garlic mashes were ok. Friend had the Braised short Rib dinner. Meat was tasteless, veggies were ok. For $ 22.00 dollars each I would expect better, being Cove has really great food.

Went here for the first time yesterday. Really liked the restaurant ambience. It was clean, lots of TVs, had a nice view of the race track and water. That’s about where the positives ended. It’s a little pricey for what you get, which is pretty common at casinos. When you’re paying $ 12 for a burger, and it comes with chips, but you can add fries for another $ 2, it seems a little chintzy. Our waitress was very nice, but it took a while to get our meals. They had another guy bringing the meals to the table and he was clueless. First, he brought us someone else’s meal. Then he brought our meals. One was made wrong and when we told him, he still just put it on the table and started walking away. We had to stop him and ask him to please let our waitress know. Finally, I ordered the hot roast beef sandwich and it was the worst sandwich I’ve ever received in a restaurant. And I’m not very picky. It was a pile of dry roast beef, a few banana peppers, a chunk of horseradish and some provolone that wasn’t melted at all and I initially mistook for raw white onions! All served on a bulky roll which apparently had the roast beef juice drizzled on top, and which the sandwich sat in a soggy puddle in the plate. I tried to eat it but I just couldn’t. The waitress was very nice and apologetic and offered to get me something else. But by the time she returned again, we were just ready to go. She said she’d take the sandwich off the bill. It took a while to get the bill, and she’d left it on there. So we had to ask her again to remove the sandwich. I’d go back to the casino, but we probably would try somewhere else for dinner.

Good selection of brews and a decent mix selection. Four flights of beers, I had the twisted kilt flight, each had guiness mixed with other. It was really good. Had the potato skins, they had a good amount of potato in each, but only 3 total. French onion soup was about par. Southern bbq bacon cheese burger was really good. Cooked to my order. Fries had sugar coating, not a fan.

Great place. Had the oven roasted turkey. Amazing! Very large portion too. I’m impressed!

This place is INSIDE THE CASINO.
Ordered the $ 10 chicken cheese steak. Took almost 25min to make. When I got the order I asked if they had any trays and the employee said no. So you have to haul everything you ordered to the table risking dropping something.
The cheese steak meat which was chicken you could tell was tried just by looking at it. I was going to send it back but I said wth. Did not want to wait for another one.
The cheese steak order was totally wrong. I clearly said NO ONIONS. But yet their are onions all in the sub. So I have to play surgeon on the sub and remove all the onions.
Also the cheese steak was missing the most vital thing A decent amount of CHEESE. You could barely taste it. All you could really taste is the DRY MEAT.
Overall in the long run. I just ate the sub and decided I won’t come back in the future.

Great service! Went with my husband and got the boneless wings buffalo style– very good. We both got burgers that were cooked perfectly and were very juicy. Fries were very good even though you had to pay $ 2 extra to get them instead of chips– that was the only annoying thing. Otherwise it was a very good meal.

I used a comp yesterday to get my food to go. I ordered a taco salad and the meatloaf special it seamed to a very big deal to sub the mashed potatoes to French fries but I’m not sure why. Also, when I came back to pick up my food I was informed that there was no cilantro for the salad and it was chefs choice for the substitution. I have no clue what the chefs choice was, there was nothing extra. I love cilantro. I probably would have skipped this item had I been told when I ordered that there was none.
The meatloaf was very good. The salad was ground beef with a ½ a bag of crumbled chips on top. No avocado as I recall reading on the menu.
I think this is 3^rd time this place has changed names. I think it just needs to get a staff that works better with the waitresses and a menu that they can execute for take out as well as dining in.

Great meal great service. Only thing I wish was different was that we gambled first and ate after ! Portions were so big and would have loved to take home my roast pork sandwhich !!

HORRIBLE SERVICE! This is now the third restaurant (unless I’ve lost count) to occupy the space since Harrah’s opened. The food is descent and the beer is very good, but, alas, the service is HORRIBLE! It seems to be a problem that has plagued this venue space since it opened; it takes way too long to get served and food ordered. What should’ve taken 45 minutes took over an hour. I only eat here if I have to when I’m at Harrah’s.

I first visited this restaurant due to the groupon. This has to be the best groupon I’ve purchased. I’m a little sad that I can’t buy anymore because there is a limit of 2 per person. The service was really bad the first time (no issues the second time). Our waitress didn’t speak English so she didn’t know the menu or what special beers were on tap. My boyfriend got up and asked the bartender. The food was great for the groupon price. The only issue I had with the food was they didn’t remove the aluminum foil from the backed potato so they didn’t notice that it was completely burnt. Not a big deal because I was full from the apps and steak and I’m sure they would have given me another one if I asked.

Well call me CHEAP! But the Groupon for this place is awesome!!! I’ve eaten here on several different occasions even prior to discovering the awesome Groupon deal! Each time we go we have AESHA wait on us !! She is wonderful!!! What a doll! SHE GETS 5 STARS!!! And for all the other negative reviews. it is not the servers fault that the drinks take forever. I see it first hand. the bartender who of course is working for tips. will dump the waitress table drink orders in a heartbeat while she schmoozes her bar patrons! That is an issue that needs to be addressed with management. the poor waitresses are just as frustrated as the customers waiting for their drinks! On several visits I can’t really say the food has taken an awful long time but if you are there enjoying your company. you may now take notice to a long ticket time! As for the food. We have ordered numerous different menu items. The Crab cake sandwich is delicious hardly any filler and very tasty, the black and blue burger is an awesome choice .I feel all the burgers are yummy. Also was satisfied with the fish and chips! The apps are all good. Just feeling like they could use a little more cheese on the nachos… Nice atmosphere. Great window seating when the track is open! For a restaurant located in a casino with reasonable prices and good food! You cant beat it! OH YEAH and grab that Groupon while still available !!!

I went to Philly Tap & Tavern to use a Groupon for two free beers, an appetizer, and two entrees. My girlfriend and I shared the T&T special sampler of 2 starters which were the mozza-luna’s and signature fried mild wings. The appetizer was good but the portion was very small as we didn’t realize they cut the serving size in half if you do the sampler. The boneless mild wings were good and so was the mozzarella. For the entrees, I chose the beer battered fish and chips while my girlfriend tried the best bruschetta chicken breast. The fish and chips was not as good as I was hoping for as I did not have it in a long time from anywhere and wanted to see if I would enjoy it. I would recommend a burger over this anyday. The best bruschetta chicken breast was not as good as we would’ve expected also as it was just simple chicken with bruschetta on top and balsamic on the bottom of the plate. It looked good but was not full of flavor. During this trip my only complaint is the service. First off the waitress warned us of long waits for food but it wasn’t too bad. My service complaint is that I ordered a beer which was not available and found out a while later from the waitress. Then I ordered a different beer which I did not receive until I was already eating my entrée as I got tired waiting for my beer. Overall, I would recommend this place to someone looking for a bite to eat but make sure to be a total rewards member for cheaper prices and stick to appetizers and sandwiches. Also, the restaurant was definitely not near full capacity so there was no reason for the delays and poor bar service. The chef also kept wondering out of the kitchen so I wasn’t sure what he was up to but I’m pretty sure when there is lag in service he should be in the kitchen whipping up our food.

I give 2 stars not because of the food, but, the service. Our Server was actually very nice, cheerful and professional! But, waiting 35 minutes for our apps was a bit much! There was a party of 2 seated just before us who managed to eat and leave before our entrée even arrived!
The house salad is large enough for three people! I had the fried mozzarella which was quite good… as were the onion rings. I had the cheesesteak and fries. Again, not bad at all! The bacon cheeseburger was also very good. Though, the bacon is so thick you could never bite into it on the burger. The bacon of the third person with us was as black as the ace of spades!
So, to wrap this up, I wouldn’t make a special trip again for dinner because of the slowness. They’re recreating the buffet so will make a point to try it out once it reopens.

Nice décor and view, but the food is only average, and expensive. Don’t think I’d return.

well overpriced with sub-​standard service which is consistent with this property’s restaurants in general!
