Tapped Mill Creek — Restaurant in Mill Creek

Addended review 10/21/23: My wife and I took my parents here to eat with our 18 month old son. This place is tagged as “kid friendly”.

I don’t mean to be “Extra” but I was kind of frustrated by this interaction. I will preface this by saying I am very conscious of mine and my families behavior toward wait staff, and I don’t ask for much.

My folks and I ordered a lot of food as well as some macaroni and cheese for my son, it came out VERY hot, too hot to touch, our waitress mentioned this. Secondary to this, we asked for a separate bowl so we could cool it down some for my son and he didn’t burn himself… our waitress refused to give us another bowl? I was very off-put by this, she said there wasn’t extra bowls. If there is not, there should be. We ordered two adult portions and one was intended to be shared with my son, we ultimately paid MORE just to give my son more options and a bowl was too much to ask? For a toddler? I was kind of appalled.

With that said, everyone else was super accommodating. Mark served us primarily, he didn’t bring the food out however, and was great. The counter staff helped me walk the drinks to the table as there were many, I appreciated that.

Initial review: I honestly can't understand the 3-4 star reviews I am seeing of this place.

This area NEEDED a bar with a bunch of decent beer options. Tapped provides that. We came from Phoenix/Flagstaff and after living here for 6 years we have grown tired of the lack of taphouses/brewpubs/breweries once you leave Seattle proper.

You wait in line to order your food...I'm seeing complaints about that. This is a style of restaurant. You wouldn't go to the McDonalds drive through and complain you didn't get a linen napkin and a bottle of wine for your nonexistent table. Most of the US doesn't meet activity guidelines for general health, stand a little, you'll make it. You stood the WHOLE way from your car to the door.

Food: Delicious, pretzel burger and Prime Rib Dip were so tasty. My wife's eyes were wide when she tried her burger. Honestly we haven't found many places that we love to eat in the last 6 years we have moved here....this made the list.

Drinks: my IPA was excellent, her Chardonnay was also good. They were cold and refreshing that's pretty much all you can ask for.

Service: We were checked on twice, frankly I didn't expect to be checked on at all. It shouldn't be necessary at a place like this. It's basically a large pub style eatery.

Finally, they don't sweat you for bringing your kids. I don't want to go to Applebees man. I want some decent food and good drinks and a fun atmosphere. I felt like this provided that, and I can bring my son. We have been turned away a couple of places when we felt like pub fare and a drink with our son in...

Took my dad here for dinner since I’ve heard the food here was good. Which is an understatement. The food here and the sauces were AMAZING!!! We ordered the chicken pot pie-the filling was delicious and the top was perfect, not too hard and not too soft but just right, also got the pretzel and cheese dip-also delicious, we got loaded tots, the meat they put on there was also perfect and seasoned to perfection, my dad got the fish and chips with some sort of lime aioli, my dad said that was the best sauce he’s ever had, and the fries were also perfect, literally the perfect crunch. It was very confusing when I walked in, wasn’t sure if it was seat yourself or what, walked up and the girl explained how it works, order and pay,grab a number and find an open spot. They also had lots of different seating options from booths,seating for 2-4, and then long bar top tables, this is also a very loud environment (tap room) so if you don’t like loud places, then maybe order out. But otherwise this looks like the best place to watch the games if you don’t know where to go. I don’t drink beer, so I can’t give an opinion on that other than there’s lots of options and almost every table had a beer accompanied by a happy customer, they also have soda options, slushees,mimosas, wine, and other options. Only negative thing I didn’t like was that if I wanted to get another soda, I’d have to leave my table, walk to the front and get one from their fridge (located next to the check out) and then wait in line, pay….and hope no one took my table. Luckily, my dad was also there with me but if he hadn’t, I’m not sure how the staff would know if someone were done or not and could easily buss that table unless you left your personals there.

Staff was very friendly, I can’t recall anyone’s name but there was a guy with curly hair in a hat, maybe a ponytail, that checked in on us, brought us some more sauce and was super friendly. I wish we had enough space in our stomach for dessert, because we saw the brownie walk past us and both our jaws dropped. Definitely will be coming back

Kid friendly? Kinda sorta, it’s loud so that’s not an issue, if you’ve got little ones that can’t sit still-probably not the best spot, food options for...
