What happened to The Urban Tap I used to love?
I used to be a huge fan of The Urban Tap, but maybe everyone else is too which is why they've reduced portions, changed bacon, and increased prices.
Even just a few months ago our mimosa carafe was $14. Now the price has increased 30% making in $18. My initial shrimp and grits picture looks nothing like what the shrimp and grits looks like now. I've ordered the most recent shrimp and grits and it's paltry in comparison. I was also amazed with the butcher block bacon in my initial review a few months ago. Whatever bacon they use now pales in comparison.
I came with a party of 10 to show some friends out of town the delicious food Pittsburgh had to offer and the hostess was not too happy about that. So I'd say if you have a larger party, The Urban Tap may not be the place for you. However, everyone in my group seemed to enjoy their meal. All in all, compared to what I used to love about The Urban Tap, whatever changes they've made have made them just "eh ok" in my book.
