Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer - Nashville

This establishment seems pretty new, judging by the interior design. I completely underestimated the portion size of the food. I had the truffle Angus burger, and it was super delicious, with spicy Cajun fries. I finished off the meal with a crazy milkshake that was bigger than my face. The one I had was strawberry shortcake, and I couldn’t finish it all. I recommend sharing it with 2-3 people.

We had a last minute change of plans and decided to stop at Black Tap for lunch. Our server Jesse was so helpful! We were indecisive and asked him multiple times to surprise us on different food options. The food he chose was phenomenal. 10/10. We can’t wait to bring our kids back for the huge milkshakes!!

Right off the "strip" this restaurant is the perfect place to go for good food and no crowds. Only a block over from Broadway, so you can stay close to everything, but somehow far enough away to avoid the crowds and mediocre food from the big places.  It has a very inviting ambiance to it and impeccable service, every aspect of the experience exudes excellence. However, it's the culinary offerings that truly steal the spotlight. The chicken sandwich at Black Tap is nothing short of extraordinary. Crispy on the outside, yet tender and succulent on the inside, each bite is a symphony of flavors and textures. The perfectly seasoned chicken is accompanied by hot chili oil and black garlic, with pickles and an aioli. It's a masterpiece that leaves taste buds dancing with delight. This is easily the most flavorful thing I have ever tasted. Equally impressive is their burger, a towering creation that's as visually stunning as it is delicious. The juicy beef patty is cooked to perfection, boasting a charred exterior that locks in its natural juices. Topped with melted cheese, a large onion ring, crisp bacon, and a tangy barbecue sauce, every bite is a revelation. Both the chicken sandwich and burger showcase the culinary prowess of the chefs and the commitment to using only the finest, locally sourced ingredients. It's no wonder this restaurant has earned its reputation as a culinary gem in the city.

We were served by Jesse today. He was really friendly and made sure everything was OK several times. We had a Waygu Burger and also tried the cookie shake shared between 4 of us. Great food and great atmosphere.

We had an amazing time.... Ran in to the restaurant since it was raining hard and we had to park ourselves for a few minutes somewhere... But we ended up spending more than 2 hours eating, drinking and listening to good music. Jesse made our time there worthwhile. We shared a good laugh talking about his Indian friend from Manchester, Indian weddings and Indian dance. 5 stars!!

Black tap was super delicious! The shakes are unbelievable. We had the korean wings and wagyu burger. 10/10 would recommend.

The moment we walked into Black Tap we felt the cool vibe the place was clean and very modern fun and upbeat music was playing but not too loud you could definitely carry a conversation or hear your server. This is rare in Nashville. We were greeted by a freindly hostes with a wonderful smile. She seated us immediately and our server Angie promptly took our order and answered all of our questions about the menu. My glass was never empty Angie was on top of everything and extremely fun. The Tennessee burger was literally the best burger I have ever tried and the milkshakes are an experience not to be missed. The manager stopped by our table to check on us he was great and obviously passionate about his profession. I couldn't help but notice all of staff appeared very happy in their work. We were extremely happy with our experience.

Wow!! Love the vibe, the food, the drinks, the shots!! Tried both of the signature shots and they were awesome. Moved onto the hot fried pickles and we were 2 for 2. Shared the wagyu burger and chili cheese fries and we will definitely stop in every time we are in town!!!

Food was good. I ordered the fried mozzarella triangles, and the chicken club w/ avocado. It def hit the spot. Drinks were good too. We had the passion fruit mojito which was perfectly balanced, & not too sweet. Service was great. Our server was so attentive, and kind. Ambiance was a nice, & relaxed vibe. I highly recommend coming here, and what's best is that it's open late night on the weekends (Fri/Sat) till 1am. Like me I needed a spot open late night, and this was the best choice. Keep it up Black Tap.

Food was not Good at all. Not sure how they are still in business. Avoid and spend your money on Broadway.

This was our first time at Black Tap, but we will definitely be back! The service was great and the food was delicious. We began our meal with the Guac and Chips. They were freshly made and super tasty. I also ordered a delicious Espresso Cookie milkshake because it looked great and I wasn't in the mood for a beer. I came to the restaurant expecting to try one of their burgers, but opted to share the slightly healthier Cali Chicken Sandwich with my wife instead. It was a large grilled chicken breast with Swiss cheese, avocado, and pickled onions on a large, fresh bun. It came with perfectly cooked fries and we added an order of perfectly seasoned Teriyaki Broccoli. Our friends shared a huge Crispy Chicken Caesar Salad and raved about its flavor and freshness. I would definitely recommend Black Tap for a fun, casual downtown lunch or dinner.

We came here hungry and thank goodness we did. This was an awesome burger joint that was slam packed with people waiting to get seats, but we were really fortunate to get a couple seats at the bar. The burgers were next level and the shakes they have at this place are nothing short of amazing. I've never seen anything like it. Jelly, donuts, ice cream sandwiches, so many different crazy items. It was like a kids dream if his parents weren't in town. Be patient and get a seat at this place. Also, they had Nashville hot fried pickles that were so good. we could've just stopped there as an entrée.definitely a great place to add to your list of first time and repeat visits.

10/10 Friendly people, great music and decor. Picture speaks for itself! Eat here and sleep good! Props to the GM, Mike! This place is solid!

Fantastic food, mind blowing shake, and great service in a family friendly, casual atmosphere. You'd be silly not to check it out!

This place was great! There was a DJ onsite in the restaurant playing some great 90s hip hop and rap, it made me feel like I was back home in Detroit and honestly a nice break from all the country music I had heard on Broadway that day. Burgers were cooked perfectly, flavoring was fantastic and the fries, both regular and sweet potato, were seasoned and cooked to perfection! Of course we couldn't leave without getting a milkshake and man that did not disappoint. We didn't go with one of the crazy ones (the calories were not worth it to me) but did go with a classic cookies and cream and it was soo good! If you're looking for a good burger and an escape from broadway, highly recommend this joint!

The ice-cream was a wonderful touch to a great evening! A must to stop by and enjoy! A Nashville must!!

First time I tried Black Tap was the the Vegas location so I was happy to see one come here, we decided to try the hot pickles, they are absolutely amazing! Made with chili oil they got a kick but they taste so good! Service was very good and he was tentative, very helpful and patient. The decor of this spot reminds you of an old diner in a way. I truly enjoy this place.

A relatively new addition to the downtown Nashville food scene, Black Tap sits on the corner of 3rd and Commerce, just a block off of Broadway...and what you don't get in honky tonk here, you get in tasty burgers and giant shakes! We had been eyeing Black Tap for a few months, but given its proximity to downtown, we usually stay away, however on a recent Thursday evening after visiting a nearby Christmas Bar, we decided a burger sounded great and made our way to Black Tap, and luckily for us they were not that busy, so we got quick service and a choice of seating. We slid in a booth near the window and soon after, Isabella, our waitress came by. Isabella (I believe that was her name, I hope so!), was full of energy, friendly, knowledgeable and an all around joy to have as our server! We took a couple of Isabella's recommendations including the Fried Mozz and Tomato dipping sauce, and we made sure to get the black garlic peppercorn aioli as a dip for our fries. Both were solid recommendations that we were not mad about getting! For dinner we got an order of chicken tenders, which were served with a trio of sauces. The house made ranch was my personal fav of the three. I went with a burger, because I couldn't visit this spot and NOT have a burger. The Mexico City burger sounded solid for me, especially with the pepperjack cheese and chipotle mayo! They did happen to leave off the onion ring, but I didn't notice until I had ate half of it, so no major loss. The burger was cooked well and a solid burger. They do have a full bar, and a decent list of house cocktails, however we went with a few classic cocktails to wash it all down. Unfortunately due to the mozz, fries and burgers we had no room for dessert, which made us sad, but we did not want to be wildly miserable on the streets of Nashville, so we will have to hit Black Tap back up for a shake soon. Overall, awesome to see Black Tap in the neighborhood!

Such a fun dinner spot before going out downtown! On a Saturday night we were sat without any wait time. Everyone was extremely nice and the drinks/food came out quickly. I especially enjoyed the milkshake shots and cheese fries. It's a great informal spot, and we will definitely be back to try more menu items!

Wonderful food and great service. Hot Wings were on the smaller side but were cooked to perfection and had the perfect amount of spice. Street corn was excellent! I almost overlooked it since it was on the back of the menu. My husband had the Texan burger, huge patty cooked to perfection, great flavor and the hot fries were amazing! Their ranch dressing with dill was homemade and delicious! We finished with the monster cookie shake. Worth the price! Overall great stop just off Broadway with more hip hop vibe.

This establishment seems pretty new, judging by the interior design. I completely underestimated the portion size of the food. I had the truffle Angus burger, and it was super delicious, with spicy Cajun fries. I finished off the meal with a crazy milkshake that was bigger than my face. The one I had was strawberry shortcake, and I couldn't finish it all. I recommend sharing it with 2-3 people.

The absolute best burger I've ever had ! Service is excellent. Good portions and relaxed atmosphere.

We've been here twice while in town for events and both times it was pretty good. It's a bit loud and chaotic but it's downtown Nashville so it's expected. The service was very good both times as well. We love the spicy fried pickles- a must try. The burgers were excellent but the wings were small and just ok. Shakes are over the top and fun to try.

The burgers were fine. Not good, not bad. Just fine. Nothing wrong with just fine. But for $18+, fine just doesn't cut it. The fries were good and well seasoned, but nothing to write home about. The service was nice, though not always very attentive. Probably won't be back

Black Tap has a certain chain-like quality that can't be shaken, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it is a thing. The burger was hailed as the best in Nashville, so maybe my expectations were set too high, but it was just fine to my taste. Nothing very special or noteworthy. The big crazy shakes are more frosting and watery whipped cream than anything, but when you do finally get to the creamy milkshake it is delicious. Unless you're looking for a good Instagram post, skip the crazy shake and just get a regular one. Service was nothing noteworthy, ambiance was crowded and pretty loud, overall just not a place I'd elect to go to again, but not bad

We were in town for a long weekend and walked to a place for brunch and the wait was a bit long. Lucky for us because the best burger I've ever had was waiting across the street. Wagyu steakhouse burger. The cook was perfect. Pink from crust to crust. The picture doesn't even do it justice. Do yourself a favor and try this place! I see they have locations in NY and Vegas. I'll look them up if I visit for sure!

The burgers are extremely delicious.. we ordered the Waugh steakhouse burger and it was extremely juicy and full of flavor. The same for the Champ burger, the arugula gives it an extra layer of flavor. If you're craving a burger, this is definitely your spot. We ordered the cakeshake for dessert and it was huge and absolutely delicious.

Overall: Great flavor combos (even if execution on burger temperatures was a bit uneven) and an even better server (Angie rocks!) made for a solid burger joint. Appetizers: Salt & Pepper Wings ($16) - These dry rubbed wings, served with a peppercorn aioli was a BIG win, with great flavor. Entrees: The Mexico City ($18.50) - Topped with pepper jack cheese, crispy onion ring, pickled jalapeños, and chipotle mayo, this burger brought the heat, which was great, but fell flat on the cook... Ordered medium, the patty arrived WAY well done, which was disappointing, because the flavors were on point. The Black Truffle Burger ($22.50) - A 1/2 pound wagyu burger, topped with havarti cheese, arugula, truffle-yuzu vinaigrette, black garlic peppercorn aioli, shaved parmesan, and truffle oil, this was a tasty combo of flavors, juicy, and tender, though SLIGHTLY undercooked (ordered medium, and arrived medium rare). Though the flavors and textures were incredible and made up for this. Chocolate Shake ($8.50) - Our milkshake was the perfect consistency, but a LITTLE bit milder in flavor than we'd prefer, but was solid, and perfect for splitting.

Black Tap has been on my burger bucket list since I heard it was opening. After it won the best burger in burger week 2023, my expectations were very high. We started with an order of the hot fried pickles, which were a hit and easily could have been a meal on their own. The breading was cooked perfectly - crispy but not overdone. The black garlic and chili seasoning added a rich layer to the overall profile, unlike any fried pickle I've ever had before. The tangy notes of dill further elevated each chip to another level. I don't know if I'll ever be able to go back to standard fried pickles. These were so good. When I go to a new burger restaurant, I typically start with one of the more basic options to establish a baseline. Unfortunately, the All-American Burger that I ordered wasn't as great. The burger was cooked medium well, so it was still juicy, but I found it to be lacking of flavor or seasoning. Even the special sauce was relatively bland and didn't pack much of a flavor punch. The bun was also relatively plain, although it did a good job of holding everything together. The sweet potato fries were delicious and cooked perfectly -- the light dusting of salt brought out the sweetness of the potatoes. Overall, the service was great and I liked the laid-back atmosphere. The restaurant had an impressive drink selection. While I didn't have room for a milkshake, the options on the menu were mouthwatering. I would definitely go again, but I would try something other than the All-American Burger.

The service was GREAT (Isabelle was our server and made the experience so much better), but the food was meh. I was expecting Black Tap Vegas quality food and atmosphere and it just wasn't. They were out of wings so I ordered chicken tenders. The breading was tasty and crispy and the dill ranch was great. I had a bite of my husband's burger and it was truly just okay. It wasn't great but wasn't awful, definitely not what we had multiple times in Vegas.

Big expectations but kind off disappointed. I'll start with the positives, atmosphere was nice, good music, professionally run and good sevice. My only complaint is the burger took to long to make because it wasn't that packed and I ordered medium-well and it came out medium to medium rare. Like a burger place has got to get it right if that's you specialty. I will say that what I did eat was tasty so maybe if it had been cooked as ordered I would have put them up to 4. So maybe some new staff or something but I'd give them another shot if I'm ever in the area again.

Great place with amazing service! We got milkshakes and they were yuge. Ask for What the Hell Izzybell. She's fantastic! You're welcome ;)

Great ambiance, spicy food and quick service, a bit away from the main noisy part of Broadway

Originally just popped our heads in because of the inviting ambience hostess was incredibly friendly. Had a drink at the bar then continued to our original dinner plans. The reception at another restaurant didn't come close to how nice EVERYONE was at Black Tap so we went back and got dinner. Let me tell you the food did not disappoint!! Mozzarella sticks come with an amazing vodka sauce that is to die for I thought it was the sauce of my dreams but then I had the teriyaki broccoli and the sauce on them was beyond my wildest dream!! YUUUUMMMMYYYYY! I had the blue cheese burger cooked medium and it was juicy, tender and packed with flavor. Blue cheese was not to tart or bitter so it complimented the burger well. The incredible service made the food taste even better. Isabella was nice, personable and knew the perfect balance of attentiveness. Always making sure we had what we needed with disrupting our vibe. Oooo speaking of vibe the restaurant is ambiance winner of the year! I'm not an IG person but if you want some social pics they have your back! Amazing food, better service, with a vibe that'll have you dancing with each bite. HIGHLY RECOMMEND UPDATE: I ate the rest of the broccoli and mozz sticks this morning and still freaking delicious!!

Food was awesome! Burgers were delicious and the fried mozz and fries were excellent! Service was great too!

Delicious shakes! Isabelle was a dream! Super helpful, attentive, and gave super good suggestions! Definitely will suggest this place to my friends! My daughter says this is a MUST when we come back to Nashville!

It's got my vote for the best burger in Nashville! I had the Tennessee burger and it was outstanding! The sauce pairing along with the chips was *chefs kiss. Our server was great. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Made suggestions and small talk. The ambiance was cool too. Great vibe with a giant boom box on the wall. Shakes are amazing. In our opinion, better than the legendairy place just up the street! Can not wait to go back!!!

Just ate here with my friends & we really enjoyed the food! Brussels sprouts were really yummy, All American burger was 10/10, Wagyu Steakhouse burger was not the best. Fries were yummy & shakes were good. Unfortunately the service was so so terrible. Super slow, items forgotten, & the waiter rarely checked in on us. I'd recommend the food but prepare for incredibly slow service.

With seating narrower than Dollywood's kiddie roller coaster ride and service slower than watching Titans in slo-mo, the unforgiving burgers and unlimited calorie milkshakes had to raise the bar and salvage an otherwise pleasant evening in downtown Nashville. The all black decor is surprisingly not the scariest part. A sign that Halloween is almost here is coded in the harrowing neon lights that turn on for drying hands in the restroom. I must admit the best part was the hot chili fries, the best fries on this planet as claimed by Black Tap who also apparently owns silver and bronze models with their cheese and 'regular' fries offerings. Farewell Ms. Cookie Shake. America's favorite.

Food was unbelievable!!! Service was even better! How is that even possible...???... Isabel is the reason!!! Best bar tender ever!!! Energy is on point! So much fun!

We stopped by after flying into BNA and we were pleasantly surprised! It was around 8pm and we found two seats at the bar where we were met with a friendly bartender. The atmosphere was casual which I appreciated, and I was also happy to be in a place in Nashville where the restaurant music wasn't turned all the way to 100. The prices were fair - I got the Mexico City burger and my friend got the Tennessee burger, which both came out great!! The burgers were cooked perfectly and the toppings made sense. The portion sizes were also fairly large so I was able to enjoy leftovers the next day. It only took us about an hour to be seated, get our drinks and food, then be on our way, so if you're looking for a quick bite to eat in Nashville I would definitely stop by. :)

Opened only 2 weeks and they are serving up some amazing burgers, fries, onion rings and dips. First time going to a Black Tap and it won't be my last! The Tennesse Burger was off the charts with the red pepper jelly. Our waiter, Nixon, recommended this burger and I am so glad that he did. I can't even describe how delicious it was. The Greg Norman was outstanding and adding a little of the Buttermilk-Dill dipping sauce to it made it next level! Old school NYC decor with graffiti wallpaper, a wall of cassette tapes and a cool old school vibe. GO TO THIS PLACE!!!!!

Food is Amazing. I had the Texan burger & the burger is so moist & juicy not dry at all. It's so hard these days to fine a juicy tasty burger. I didn't even need to add salt or pepper that's how delicious the burger was & fries were too. Omg, the Brooklyn Chocolate Milkshake was sooooo good . The only downside to this place is the bathroom it's very dark but my pet peeve is there's no hook on the wall or door for you to hang a jacket or purse while using the bathroom. Who wants to put those items on the nasty floor. Other than that I didn't find anything wrong with the place. The bar was nice too!

Great burger place downtown right down the street from Broadway. I had the Greg Norman burger with sweet potato fries. The fries were probably close to the best I've ever had! My friend got the Black Truffle burger and she loved it as well. It did take a long time for our food to come out, probably 30 minutes for our burgers so knocking off one star for that. The shakes looked amazing and would definitely share one next time we are in town. We saw some people with the salads and they were huge. Highly recommend, great quality compared to eating on Broadway.

The 1/2 lb wagyu burger was amazing! Isabel gave great service. I would highly recommend Black Tap and plan to visit the NY location when I get home.

The burger was SOLID. I do recommend reservations because they get quite busy. Service was a tad slow but not bad.

Quick stop here for lunch was a great idea! Excellent service and food. Nixon was my server and he took really great care of me as someone dining solo. I appreciated that. I got the Texas burger and it was delicious. These meals are huge and cooked to perfection. Would definitely come back!

We visited the Nashville location tonight and ordered medium rare burgers and our meat came out completely raw and cold. We told our server and she brought it to the kitchen then brought it back to us still raw and said "That is medium rare unfortunately so you're going to have to either eat it or wait 35+ minutes to have a new one." We said we would just eat the lettuce and not the meat but then decided to tell a manager. He didn't say a word back and shook his head and walked away. It was unbelievable and I have never experienced anything like it. None of our meal was comped and nobody apologized. I can attach photos.

Really, really, REALLY good burgers! Everything from the beef to the slice of tomato on top, was so flavorful and fresh, we will be back! Our waiter was very helpful, and our order arrived quickly. A little too chilly with the AC, but take a jacket because it's worth the goosebumps lol

They don't have tea, lemonade or alcoholic beverages yet since they just opened. Apps are okay but a bit pricey for what you get. Luckily burgers were really good. They slap on a ton of sauce so if that isn't your thing, ask for it on the side or get ready to wipe a ton of it off. They have a ton of workers that are just standing around not doing anything. I guess it's better to have too many people working than not enough. Service was just mediocre. They kept forgetting our drinks and bringing the wrong drinks. We'll probably order take out or Doordash if they have it but I don't think we'd dine in again. Husband and cousin both got the Wagyu steakhouse and they said it was cooked to order and tasted good. Also a good size burger. I'm a sucker for a mushroom Swiss burger which they don't have but I ordered the all American and just swapped the cheese for Swiss and added grilled mushrooms and it was pretty good. If you're from socal, the wings are not the salt & pepper chicken wings like golden chopsticks.

Decided to try Black Tap during Burger Week. Pros: -Service was friendly and pretty quick! -The Tennessee Burger had a great flavor combination and was a tender, tasty burger. -The Sweet Potato fries were really good and we enjoyed the Special sauce Cons: -Charged $1 for a side of mayo for a $20 burger. - Charged for a sauce we couldn't eat. -Misunderstood our order and forgot a burger which took an additional 20 minutes to arrive. - pricey compared to other burger options we tried during Burger Week. Overall - the food was good and we will probably visit again because it is so close to home. The petty charges are a bit off-putting but now that we know how they operate we can try to catch these before getting burned again.

So, if you like really long waits (the place wasn't overly crowded), uneven service, and a burger that looks like it was mass produced, then this place is for you. UPDATE: Michael the manager and I did correspond by email. He did take accountability and offered to try to make it right by us and to work with his staff on their customer service approaches. Can't ask for more than that.

The service was great and the black truffle burger was one of the best I've ever had! Friends had the pizza burger, fried chicken sandwich and Mexican burger and all were AMAZING ! 10/10 recommend!

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING ! do yourself (and your tastebuds) a favor, and check this place out. 1) ask for Nixon. He was very attentive, pleasant, and really helped guide us through really good menu options. Bonus fact: off of the main area so it's not too crowded on the weekend (giving it a chill atmosphere) and it's not expensive. Burger: Tennessee Shake: cake batter Appetizer: spicy pickles

We stopped in here for on a whim as we couldn't decide where to eat. We were promptly greeted and sat. The table was very wobbly. We ordered our drinks. Which took a minute but it was Christmas Eve so we were thankful they were open. The drinks were super super sweet, I had the special Martini and husband had the Old Fashioned. I had ordered the side salad and my husband the Tennessee Burger with fries. My salad was so salty that it was inedible. When we informed the server she said yeah, that's happens sometimes, depends on who is making the vinaigrette. Husband's fries were also very salty. We joked that the must have hired the fry cook from McDonalds. We decided to give one of their milkshakes a try. We did the Cake one. Cake was dry and blah. Shake was average. But I suppose it's more about the presentation really; which was fun.

Top notch management! The new location and the staff is on top of it. Quality food and excellent presentation. The only recommendation is to add to the selection of dark beers. There's only one stout on the menu. Only recommending this because they are marketing as a taphouse. When we return to Nashville, we hope to stop in and see them again.

Fraud. Plain and simple. Waitress - "Cocktails on the happy hour are 1/2 price". This is a direct quote from our server after asking what specials were on. We were presented a non-itemized total to pay. Yes we paid and left before happy hour ended. (12/6, 6:45PM. Waitress said happy hour ended at 7) We were charged full price. When I questioned, she took my receipt and never returned. Don't know what else to say other than check the receipt and confirm what you're paying for before providing your card.

Didn't expect such great food and service on the first day opening as I have a few friends who own restaurants and have seen first hand how difficult it is to have things run so well on a soft opening. These guys nailed it. I was suggested the pizza burger which I was the last thing on my mind to try. Glad I did. It's one of the craziest ideas to pop out of a chefs head yet worked extremely well. I'm super happy with the fact they didn't go to far with adding pepperoni as I think that would have been over powering. Burger was cooked exactly as I asked. The cheese fries were perfect. I'll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. Step out of your comfort zone and try the pizza burger.
