My husband and I went here during an incredibly busy weekend, so this review is with a grain of salt. There were 2 people on service for a beyond full restaurant. One person seated us, and the other server angrily asked us why we had seated ourselves and rolled their eyes at us+their counterpart for having seated us. We had been standing in the rain so we appreciated being seated even if there was still going to be a wait for service. The original staff member was clearly very busy but polite, the second was borderline angry at us for choosing to eat there (we wouldn't have if any of the other places we went weren't quoting a 2hr wait). However, they did honestly apologize and it was obvious they were over worked and stressed out that day. The food was very quick and delicious, perfectly cooked and put together, and the server started making jokes and calming down as they checked on us. The menu has a selection of fancied-up pub meals. It's a neat restaurant with lots of wall decor and a great variety on the tap list. I may be back to try it again and hopefully bump up my review.

The best selection of rotating beers on the south end. Always have something new there. Wish they had the local cider on tap.

Fairly good food overall, and cozy interior. The Buffalo wings were really good, esp in ranch. The best things were definitely the burgers with very crispy tater tots and dipping sauce! The salad was okay, chicken was pretty tough and on the dry side. The mussels we got were getting cold and they were tough and a bit overcooked. Also not sure if their ventilation system was broken, but it was very smoky inside the entire time. Lots of dry eyes all around. The waitress was nice to open the front door sometimes but it would smoke up in moments after closing again and felt pretty stuffy. My parents who are regulars said the mussels are usually better so maybe we just got a little unlucky today...?

Great staff, great food - I love this come-as-you-are spot! Francesca and the team remember faces and what customers like and make great recommendations based on that. I always feel comfortable and welcome here and I appreciate that Taproom has worked so hard to stay open throughout this past year. Definitely one of my most favorite restaurants on Whidbey. Try the beef sliders and tots!
