New menu item for summer! A Po Boy! They added a few new items but I couldn't get past this, so I went for it. Sorry, didn't take the time to get a picture, it just looked too good, and didn't disappoint. A hoagie bun with arugula, tomato slices, a generous portion of delicious batter fried shrimp topped with a house made sauce that they could bottle and make a lot of $$. Loved it!

We had lunch here last time we were in Rochester. We ordered brunch drinks, as well as the blackened salmon tacos, the Asian chicken salad, and a burger. It's pretty unusual for our kids to eat all of their food, but apparently the burger was really good and they loved the fresh fruit side. My Asian chicken salad was pretty good, but I wished that they had put the chicken off to the side so that it didn't cover the entire thing in Korean barbecue sauce. I would've preferred the salad dressing on the vegetables. Unfortunately, the salmon tacos were so spicy that my SO wasn't able to eat them. The server noticed and ended up being so sweet about it and took them off the bill. Thankfully, he was so full on tortilla chips and queso that he didn't leave hungry. Overall, the service is great here and we've been back a couple times since and they continue to impress.

As always The Tap House never fails to impress. This is a tried and true restaurant in Rochester. The service is friendly and efficient, the food is always good, and of course their array of tap beer to choose from is unlike any other restaurant in town. Can't go wrong here.

Great service, phenomenal food, huge tap list--this place really has it all. We stopped in a little after 4pm on a Thursday. We were seated right away in a lovely booth that had a private vibe but still gave us a view of other tables and the bar. Alayna was our server, and she did a great job taking care of us during our visit! Now, the food. We made the wonderful mistake of ordering two appetizers, the cheese curds and the tots. The portions were HUGE yet the food was oh so good. We ended up taking half the tots home. We also ordered drinks. My husband tried a few beers while I had a delicious Blake's cider. I was majorly impressed that they had 100 brews on tap. The details on the menu were great, too--we love knowing where things are made. Our main dishes were fantastic. Again, HUGE. Love the generous portions. I had the triple berry summer salad while my husband built his own burger with pepper jack, bacon, and jalapenos. Great stuff all around. We were asked if we wanted dessert, and I had to laugh. We were so very full. Maybe on another visit, we can try the chocolate cake that was on the menu.

Tap House is one of those places we frequent every ~5-6 months. There's always a time where we're looking to just take a break from our usual eats and go from some good ol' American food. Nothing is better than a nice burger and fries and this place does a good job with its huge portions and tasty burgers. Ordered - La Patrona Burger (4/5). Wicked ingredients but it worked. The burger comes with guac, jalapenos, cheese, and topped with some chipotle BBQ Mayo. - Crispy Chicken Bacon Ranch (3.5). Pretty standard sandwich. Nothing too rave much about. The tator tots that came with it was really good though - very crispy! If you're ever shopping at Costco or around the area, this is a good place for a quick, tasty (and heavy) lunch.
