Yellow River Tap and Eatery — Restaurant in Plymouth

Oh how I have long awaited being able to review this restaurant.

As always, I will review based off of three categories: Food, service and atmosphere.

Food I had a build your own pizza. I really appreciate a nice char on the crust and they nailed it! The underside is still soft enough to enjoy easily, but it's not doughy. The hummus and bread was also very tasty. 5/5 stars for their food!

Service So this is a read different from a traditional restaurant. You order up at the counter, but you also have to go up to the counter to get your food. There are a couple staff that walk around and ask how you are liking things, but other than that you have to self serve. For those who enjoy a beer, they have a tap wall that you can self serve beer from. They have a large selection from local breweries and wineries. 5/5 stars for service.

Atmosphere This kind of establishment has been needed in Plymouth for a long time. It feels like a place to gather and stay. If you know anything about Strong Towns, you know what I'm talking about. If it gives you any idea of how much they want you to sit and stay, they have a small selection of board and card games available to play. 5/5 stars for atmosphere.

Congratulations to the team here for knocking out of the park. Keep up...

This was my second visit. The first experience wasn’t great, and unfortunately, the second was only a little better. The restaurant wasn’t busy—maybe four families total—so we didn’t expect a long wait. We ordered our food and sat down, waiting for our name to be called for pickup. After about 20 minutes, we noticed that people who ordered after us were already getting their food, so we went up to ask about our order.

They handed us our wings, which tasted good but were already cold, and told us they had accidentally given our pizza to someone else and were making a new one. Overall, the food was disappointing.

The one redeeming quality here is the beer selection and the self-serve taps. It’s a bit pricey but fun to sample and pour your own drinks. If we go back, it’ll be for the...

The experience here is unique but in a great way. First off, the food is very good and the staff is very professional and friendly. The menu is simple and concise which fits the atmosphere very well. The food is ordered at the counter, but is much higher quality than typical counter service restaurants. I had the buffalo chicken pizza and garlic hummus with pita and both were phenomenal. The crust of the pizza had a nice crispness too it while still having some chewyness and bounce to it. Seating is unique. There are typical tables and booths around the interior perimeter but in the center the tables are long with benches able to accommodate multiple parties. I like this concept because it can nurture a sense of community. I highly recommend...
