Tap House Bar and Grill

We stopped here as part of our vacation when looking for a quick, easy bite. I had the buffalo chicken sub, one of my favorites, and this one was more than adequate, served with a generous portion of fries. My companion had the taco salad and rated it as average, not bad but nothing special either.
The draft beers we had were disappointing, though. Mine was flat and hers ‘definitely wasn’t fresh’. For a place billing itself as a taphouse, that’s not acceptable.

First time visitor and was surprised to find we loved it!
Friday night, we got there 530’ish and the place was already almost packed. You could smell the Fish and Chips and Malt Vinegar as soon as you walked in (come to find out, it seems that’s a local favorite). Having lived in Florida for a number of years, we opted out of their F&C… Not quite ready to try seafood in a random restaurant so far from the ocean, even if it is deep fried.
The restaurant is dark and bar or pub like. The tables are terribly close together. You could easily carry on a conversation with the neighboring tables. I felt badly for the staff as more people filled in the tables and bar stools. When it was time to deliver the check, our waitress had to lean over and hand it to us over a chair that someone was sitting in (at another table).
They have a good draft beer selection. The menu is pretty basic, nothing fancy — kind of what you’d expect in this kind of atmosphere. My hubby chose the green Chile Burger and I went for the Turkey Reuben. We both opted for the hand cut fries.
He said his burger was good. It was cooked nearly perfectly (a lot of places have a problem cooking a medium rare burger). My Turkey Reuben was splendid! It. Was. So. Tasty.
And the hand cut fries … YUMMO. I highly recommend them. They were, dare I say, perfect? The only thing that could make the fries better would be if they brought a basket of salts or rubs to pour on them (flavored salt, sea salt, garlic…).
I can’t remember what beer I had, I believe it was the Grand Canyon Ale (yeah, I’m a loser, I don’t remember), it didn’t have a good head on it and probably a little warmer than it should have been. But it was still tasty and SO nice not to be stuck with the list of «same old» beers.
We were relieved to get there early enough to be done before their live music started. We’ve never been a fan of live music when dining, it makes dinner conversation impossible. And I couldn’t help but notice how much space was available for the band (and dance floor, I assume), as I watched the the wait staff walk 2 tables further than they needed to so that they could get to their tables. Yes, the tables were really that crowded together.
All in all, we were pleased with our visit, our waitress, the neighbor patrons, and our meal. We’ll definitely be back!

My friend eats here at least once a week and said the burgers are great. He was absolutely right. He swears by the Bacon and Blue Burger that’s not on the menu. Ask for it and maybe they will make it for you and include it in the future. I would have gotten it, but my didn’t mention it til I was done eating. I’m getting it on my next visit.
I had the Spicy burger with green chili’s and jalapeño’s with a Chipolte Mayo. It’s not to spicy, but if you want milder they make one with just the chili’s. Much milder. My friend had this one and said he could have eaten another.
As for the burger patty itself, it was thick and grilled a perfect medium. I was in heaven. I opted for the onion rings. Some of the best I’ve had in months and months. Crunchy and tasty.
My son went with the Honey Hot wings. Those disappeared fast. They don’t bread theirs which makes them a little better for the healthy minded.
They have a good selection of beer and a full bar. The staff was friendly if a bit slow at the bar. But once we had them working on our food, it was up quick.
It’s by far one of the best places I’ve eaten at in Fountain Hills.

Not sure how they got a 4 star rating. They did not have all of the ingredients for their combo plate. The food was truly tasteless when it arrived. Even the frys were soggy. How can you screw up french fries. Very dissatisfied.

I don’t get it! We were vacationing here and recommended to try this place. The food was terrible and Shelly, I believe her name was is obnoxiously rude! she should watch how she speaks to people in public. I would never recommend this place to anyone!

Sorry to say. This place has potential but for me they missed the mark.
I had a «green chile» cheeseburger which would have been fantastic. The chile itself was super flavorful. That’s something I haven’t been able to say about many places in Arizona so it really bummed me out that my burger wasn’t cooked to my request.
I know people don’t agree with this and that’s fine. But for me? Ground mystery beef anywhere, I want it cooked! Well done! Every time! When I bite into it and its greasy and bleeds? That’s no Bueno and the main reason I only give 3 stars.
The bartender was great, the atmosphere just as you’d expect for a bar and I had a really good beer.
I’ll be back and will update as necessary!
It would have been the best burger I’ve had in fountain hills but I can’t give more stars because on this particular instance, my order wasn’t prepared per my order.

Unfortunately not enough people had a chance to give this place a genuine review. We were here with a group of friends on a Friday night around 8:30pm or so. We came here for dinner and drinks. Waitress seated us and took our drink order. Started off with giving me my wrong beer. She was nice though. Took it back without hesitation to get the right beer replaced. At this point we also went ahead and put in our order. I ordered their Tap House Burger. I wanted medium well done. It literally took them 1 hour to bring our food out. Somehow the chef forgot to make my burger. The waitress told me that the burger was not made and asked if I still wanted to eat or no? I was like, what kind of question is that? I was hungry and I came here to eat. So she apologized and asked the chef to make it for me. Another 10 mins went by and the waitress finally brought out the burger. I took a bite off of it and it was raw. The meat was absolutely soggy and cold. I stopped and cut the burger in half. The meat was definitely raw. The middle part was still frozen. The waitress saw that I was showing the burger to my friends and she came up and apologized. She took my plate away and told me I wasn’t going to get charge for it.
One of my friends was given sour over due vegetables. The other group with us bought chips and salsa. Whoever made the salsa there basically threw a nasty chopped up whole tomato into the salsa and was served like that to them. Our pretzel was hard and appears like it has been sitting all day. Experience at tap house was by far the worst I’ve witness. I think their kitchen has a real problem. The waitress was nice enough to acknowledge it. I will absolutely not recommend this place to anyone.

We love the tap house. Staff and food are great you need to try the new chief out awsome five star quality food

I’m sitting here at the bar right now and I have fallen in love. This place is great! Staff is incredibly friendly, drinks are priced perfectly, and food is delicious. The staff greets regulars as family. I will definitely be making this a regular spot based off of this experience. Forget the other places in town! This is the place to be!!!

Loved The Tap House having Tommy Holloway there last night. He is brilliant and the customers love local talent. The best time we have ever had there. The food was much improved, service great and we sincerely hope they will have Tommy as a regular. Amazing!!!

OK, They got me! I have been in the place three days in a row and each time it has gotten better. The thing I love and won’t forget is the owners brought in Dogfish IPA just because I asked, customer service doesn’t get better than that. Now my favorite hang out. I had the turkey ruben for lunch and it was really good and the service was top notch. Great patio and now my favorite beer!

First time here and we really enjoyed it, It is nicer on the inside then it looks on the outside. The service was great, atmosphere was nice, several TVs, prices were pretty decent (bloody Mary’s only $ 3 on Sunday, and they actually put alcohol in them) Food was good… not great, but typical bar food. The guys gave the burgers 7 out of 10. We ordered extra crispy fries and they really were extra crispy! We will definitely be back.

The Tap House is a great place to grab a beer with friends. It has a good vibe, the servers are friendly, there are pool tables, a juke box and Kareoke.
The food at the Tap House is average. It is mostly typical bar fare. Much of the menu is fried and it tastes like fried food you can get anywhere. The rest of the menu offerings leave much to be desired.
Supposedly, they have specials that are pretty good, including the Monte Cristo. People I went with usually went crazy over it.

A couple of snowbirds back in FH for the winter, love the Taphouse and so happy to see they are now serving breakfast! Friday night prime rib is back or friday night all you can eat fish & chips, both are excellent at a reasonable price. Breakfast for $ 3.99 is also an excellent choice, 9am to 1pm on weekends or 10:30am to 1pm on weekdays. Lots of option’s, great atmosphere, friday nights get busy so plan to go early.

Really, really, really! The cooks here are so proud of their work — and always strive hard to offer great food. The salads are fresh, amazing and delicious. The subs are about the best I’ve ever had. The menu is filled with good things to eat. This is definitely not «bar food.» Friday night fish fry is great and Sunday fried chicken dinner at about $ 6.99 is an unbelievable deal. Check for live music and no cover charge!

Recently moved to Fountain Hills from Florida. Made an effort to eat at family owned restaurants and not major chains. We tried all the restaurants in FH but this one– from the outside it looks like a dive bar. all the other restaurants were packed and this one was busy but we got a table. It is a beautiful local bar restaurant where locals bring families and there are 5 or 6 large screen TV’s and a pool table. When we tried it a few weeks ago we though it was fabulous so we went back tonight. It was better than good, the mushroom Swiss burger cooked med rare was perfect! Very very juicy and the fries were great as well. I like their burger better than any others.
Very good service like you are family! Open kitchen and you see them cooking your food. The dessert is delish! Don’t stand on line come to Tap House and enjoy.

Stopped here for lunch on wednesday, burgers were great! Service was also very good
