I'll also say, I've been here PLENTY of times before when I lived in Tempe and haven't been in awhile. It was always the place we'd meet up with friends a couple times a month. I'm giving it 3 stars to account for the great times and experiences in the past; but I'll say this most recent experience was not good and would probably be only 2 stars. \n\nWe came here right around lunch. It wasn't too busy when we arrived but as we left it was picking up. \n\nWe ordered two burgers, which we've had in the past and used to be flavorful and delicious - I was REALLY looking forward to lunch. This time, we really weren't impressed. They did not seem hand crafted and the flavors weren't bold and tasty as I remembered. It seemed pretty run of the mill. The fries were great as always though. My girlfriend got the tap house burger, which was supposed to have chorizo on it. She said in the past it had the chorizo on top of the burger and the menu sounded like it would, but this time it was not there. We asked the waitress and she said it 'might' be combined with the meat... but she seemed unsure. It did not look any different than my burger, which didn't have anything mixed into it. The flavor was off and we really didn't feel satisfied it was correct. \n\nYou can't beat the brunch drink menu prices though. $4 for a monster mimosa, sangria, Bloody Mary (and there was one more.) I got a Bloody Mary, which was good but just not my favorite drink in general (not a tomato juice fan). My girlfriend got a mimosa, which lived up to being monsterous and great. We'd come back here for these drinks! I was gonna get sangria but they were out, which was also disappointing. \n\nThe service was slow from beginning. After being seated the waitress took our drink order and walked away before we could give her our food order, which we knew from past visits. When she came back we ordered the food. After getting our meal she followed up briefly once and it was in passing when it appeared she had just remembered we were there. She asked if we were okay and began to walk away quickly before an answer was given. We stopped her as she was leaving to ask for additional sauces, which took awhile to get. Then she never came back until about 10 minutes after we finished to ask if we wanted our check...\n\nOverall, I was really disappointed. The food wasn't that delicious and had no real flavor. The service was slow and we felt like we were just waiting around. As mentioned, we've been here before and loved the beer and all the food (we've tried a lot of it) but I don't think I'd get a burger again based off today. We gave it 3 stars hoping this was just a one time thing based on our past experiences; otherwise it would have been 2 stars."^^ .
