2 of us had lunch at the Taproom. We arrived at 1:00 pm and were seated immediately. There was a steady flow of customers but not packed. I love the flights and the beer selections. The appetizers are good. The prices for drinks and food have increased between $2 and $3. You could pay between $30 and $50+ per person for appetizers and drinks. Pricey, yet the beer selection alone keeps me going back on pay day.

First time here and I'll definitely need to go back. Server was awesome. Cider Flight, most were delicious. It was great to have options to try. Spinach Artichoke Appetizer was amazing! Peanut Butter Burger was delicious, a lot of flavor. Shrimp and chips also great.

Good food (I had the SW chicken salad and the party shared a few apps - get the cheese curds!). Our server was wonderful and handled our group of 12 amazingly. Nice, chill atmosphere.
