"Orange chicken was fire (really good) if I had it there instead of delivery it would've been perfect. Nice crunch perfect flavor. Crab Rangoon were good. Sweet and sour sauce was also great, it's the really sweet kind, which is the good kind IMO. "
"When ordering a la cart, the portions are super small, but so expensive! Also I ordered two sets of spring rolls and only got 2 total. Order was supposed to feed myself and my daughters but was only enough food for 1 person. First and last time ordering a la cart.
Food tasted good! Just super small portions and they didn't include the second set of spring rolls."

"I only received a 6 inch when I ordered and paid for a footlong. I ordered a side of Dor chips and received Doritos nachos? I was at work and had this delivered for my neurodivergent picky kid at home. I sent my mom to get the correct items and they just gave her another 6 inch and bag of chips. For spending over $20 total on this meal and then having to go get the corrected items ourselves I feel more should have been done. "

"The food was better than what i had hoped for. The Chicken Plate coulld have use a bit more portions and a tad more seasoning on the rice but still it was delicious. The vegetables which included satueed vegetables and mushrooms were some of the best i have had. Even my daughter who does not like vegetables raved about them. The oilves vegetablez chicken hummus pita bread all balanced each other so nicely. Wish i would have ordered more hummus it was so good. We will have to go there tomorroow. Worth the price"
"The gyro salad was big and full of very tasty gyro meat. The vinaigrette was very good. My only complaint is with the toppers that you get to choose. Great variety but there wasn't much added to the salad. One or two olives, just a little bit of tomatoes and cucumbers and a sprinkle of cheese. Since it's my first time ordering, I'll try it again and hope that it was a fluke thing."

"the Snickers Bar Latte was awesome per usual, it was still warm when it was delivered and was true to size and flavor. Tuscan Turkey Panini was good, I paid extra to add tomatoes but didnt get much so I don't feel like that was worth the extra charge. I did request the kettle chips instead of the chips and salsa but they still sent me chips and salsa - the chips are average, the salsa is pretty much tomato paste with some flavor."

"This time I tried the Hot Beef...and I can see why it is number one! I felt their portions were generously large and the food satisfies that comfort food craving. I also have ordered the Pistachio Cold Brew coffee twice, if you like nutty flavors- I definitely recommend trying!"
"First time eating from here. I was a little worried about if the food would be hot still when it arrived because we are much further out from them but both meals were perfect! My son has sensory issues and I was worried about him trying something new. I got the Chicken & Rice for him thinking it looked similar to our chicken & rice casserole I make at home and he loved it! It was a huge portion too! It's always a relief when I can find him something on the menu other than deep fried chicken nuggets, so thank you!!! I got the Hot Beef and it was the best I've had in a long time! It's so hard to find hot beef sandwiches let alone made well! Definitely a 10/10 from this family! We will order again and have to dine in soon too!"

"The price for the portion is not there. The cheesy hashbrowns were not cheesy at all and lacked flavor. The ribs are okay. The burnt ends were not great- a bit rubbery? I wouldn't taste the beans after seeing them.
The jal popper pasta salad was absolutely delicious but not worth the surrounding disappointment.
This was not our typical BBQ experience."

"My company has used this establishment to cater events. Thought I was in good hands but ...good portion of the greens were wilted & brown and no cucumber & maybe too much cheese. Had there been cucumber, it probably would've balanced the cheese. The 2 tomatoes could not resuscitate this freshness if this salad. Wildly disappointing."

Omg, the Fried Mushrooms ,hands down the best mushrooms I have ever had, let me tell you why....fried mushrooms at other restaurants are completely covered in batter and get goopy inside, Beaver Tap's fried mushrooms are more of a tempura batter which means you can taste the mushroom and get a great crunch from the batter. Fries , crispy and hot. The The Tap Burger was also really huge and cooked perfectly. We will definitely reorder."

"Great option for diner classics! The only item that wasnt a slam-dunk was the Chicken Alfredo. I found it to be needing more sauce and cheesy flavor, but the chicken was well cooked and the Garlic Bread was super garlicky! The Jalapeño Poppers were insanely crispy and stuffed, and the portions on my husband's Lumberjack were insanely large.
