Tully's Taproom — Restaurant in O’Fallon

If you're someone who likes the bar vibe, this place would be fine, but I was not a big fan. The space felt cramped and loud. The food was decent, but the menu was very small and consisted primarily of fried foods and the service was average. It's not a bad place, but wasn't my style.

Update: Despite this restaurant's response to my review, I can only speak honestly based on my opinion. I realize this is a bar. I also realize that it is a small business. I am all for supporting small businesses, but my opinion is valid whether for a small business or a large chain. I intend to be honest regardless of the business size. As previously stated, if you are the type of person who likes a lively bar environment, you will likely have a very different opinion/experience. It was simply not for me.

In my original review, I stated the menu was small, but the food was decent. This was meant to say that, despite not feeling I had many choices, the food was quality. Also to clarify, it was MOSTLY (not all) fried foods as with most bars. I did, in fact, have a salad when dining there as my current medication limits what I can eat without getting sick. I wanted to try this place again once that issue was resolved. When we went, the noise level was negative for us due to having family visiting. Once again, I intended to go back once it was just my husband and me. Unfortunately, I will probably not be doing that as I feel the response was rude and minimizing. No one needs to be told this place is a bar. I assure you that I realized this...

Tully's Taproom in O'Fallon stands out not only for its fantastic food, lively Wednesday music, and sports atmosphere, but also for its heartwarming and inclusive vibe, especially on its dog-friendly patio. The ambiance here is something I deeply enjoy. It's a place that feels like a second home, largely due to the amazing staff who treat every guest like a friend. Their warmth and friendliness contribute significantly to the welcoming environment, making each visit memorable.

The patio, acclaimed as one of the best in the area, is my preferred spot for enjoying the surroundings and the company of my furry companion. It's an ideal setting for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy good times, backed by the exceptional hospitality of Jane, the owner, whose personal touch and genuine care for guests shine brightly.

For those who cherish a fantastic atmosphere as much as great food and entertainment, and value interactions with staff who quickly become friends, Tully's Taproom is a must-visit destination. It's a place where every visit is more than just a meal or a drink—it's an experience...

Let's start with the best and work our way down...

Service was a little slow to start (understandable on a Friday night), but once our waitress saw us, she was top notch, and she had a LOT of tables. Greatness against impossible odds.

Food I have no specific complaints about aside from the descriptions on the menu v. reality. The "colossal dip" could have been eaten in about six bites by an 8th grader. Taste was good, as were the fries. Wings, for being a featured item, we're good, but when something is hyped up... anyway, the Thai Chili sauce was great.

Atmosphere. Ugh. Here we go. The interior itself looks awesome. I'm sure during weekday lunch it's fine, but there were people around us that were so loud, typing in caps wouldn't do it justice. It was so bad my wife went outside while I paid the check. It was just an exceptional combination of drunk and stupid. So the actual physical environment was great, but the clientele made it so unpleasant as to spoil the experience. And I'm used to being around loud people, but this was a 20 on a...
