Tap 42 Craft Kitchen & Bar - Kendall

I am a big fan of Tap 42. The best “bar food” around. So fresh and the quality of the ingredients are top notch. What is particularly impressive are the people that they have working there. The team makes you feel welcome and they deliver excellent service. Most recently, we had the pleasure of having Apsy take care of us. She was an absolute delight. Friendly, engaging, energetic and she makes an excellent cocktail. Cannot wait to return.

It has a nice atmosphere. It's a little pricey. I would recommend going when happy hour is available. Tasty food, and I had a great waiter.

We came here on a Friday and sat at the bar so we could enjoy their happy hour. The bar area can get crowded but we were lucky to get seats for three. They do have a large bar with many of seating. The atmosphere is upscale. This place can get very loud which makes it hard for conversation. There is no back to their bar chairs, so it can be uncomfortable to sit for long periods of time. They do have a large selection of beers, but not too many IPAs. It is not a brewery atmosphere. We were greeted as soon as we sat down and we were given menus. The severs were very friendly and they were always available. They do clean the bar area, but it still felt sticky. We ordered food from their happy hour menu, and the food was very good and came out quick. We ordered beers, and flights of beers. The beer was not that cold and that was a disappointment. This may be a good neighborhood bar but unfortunately we would prefer to try another place. Parking was easy

This is located in the town and country area with several restaurants in stores. It has an atmosphere that is loud and sports bar like with large tvs, lots of booths and a lot of noise, but the food is better. The portions are substantial and the prices are reasonable, considering the portion size. We had the grilled chicken chopped avocado salad, a grilled chicken caesar wrap with sweet potato fries on the side for a dollar extra and truffle steak sandwich with fried plantains. Everything was good size and good tasting. The portions are big enough to share, especially the salads and the wraps. So if you're getting appetizers, plan on sharing the meal. The only downfall, besides the noise is the service. The service is slow and uh, skin. Our server did not check back on us to see if we wanted anything extra after the meals were delivered, and he never brought more water. So we sat through the entire meal with just one glass of water and no more drinks. The bar ran out of the beer we ordered when we first sat down, but we didn't find out until 15 minutes lster. right before our meals arrived, so we didn't order any other beer at that point. Overall, the food is tasty and the portions are large. The prices are fear for the size, but it is noisy and it does take a while too. Get your drinks your bill and any follow up.Items. It's worth a second visit. I'm also heard that the Tap42, further down, the road is much better.

Me and my girlfriend we were around there and we saw action/activity on outdoor space, and we wanted to try the place. The food was delicious and came super fast, they have plenty options for food and depends on your taste. Service was nicely and very friendly. The view from terrace is beautiful to the lake.

I have been hearing about this place and I am kicking myself for not coming here sooner. First off, Rochelle, the waitress was outstanding! Knowledgeable and friendly. We had the Philly egg rolls for appetizer. They had a perfectly cooked wrap with tender and well seasoned sirloin. I had the chicken and waffles for an entree. The waffles were slightly crispy but the chicken was moist. It came with sweet potato fries which I felt weren't needed. However, they did come with a cinnamon cream dipping sauce, which gave a savory touch. I had the strawberry tres leche for dessert. It was light and refreshing..not overly sweet. 10s across the board! Serving sizes were massive as well. Will definitely come back!

This location is an excellent choice for outings with friends or family, offering a welcoming environment suitable for children. Guests can enjoy a diverse selection of beverages along with quality food options. Overall, I highly recommend this venue for those seeking a pleasant dining experience.

I had an amazing experience at Tap 42 thanks to the outstanding service from Arnie and Diego! From the moment we sat down, they were on point. They took our order right away, which made sure our food came out super quick , perfect timing without us even having to ask. Throughout our meal, they checked on us just enough to make sure we were taken care of, without being overwhelming. It’s a fine balance that not many servers get right, but they nailed it! Our waters were always filled, and they were so attentive to the little things , and educated us on the meals that really made the experience enjoyable. They also gave us some great recommendations clearly they know the menu well and care about what their guests enjoy. Honestly, they were the definition of perfect service: friendly, efficient, professional, and thoughtful. If you’re at Tap 42 and get Arnie and Diego as your servers, you’re in GREAT hands. Definitely made our visit memorable. I’ll be coming back for the food and the service!

Bring back the green eggs and ham Benedict. it was one of the best brunch items on the menu! Bartenders are always great! Ambiance is perfect for a date night or even out with the friends. I come here often and always have a good time! I wish on the nights they didn't have a dj they had the jukebox app to take requests.

Best experience ever ! Came in and was attended super fast by the bartenders. Best drinks always !! Will be back again and again ! Shoutout to Karen, Madelynn, Michelle and Jackie. Amazing service from them highly recommend to everyone !!

Tap 42 is an amazing place . All the bartenders are professional and very attentive, and the service is great !!!

Im here to leave a comment on the Chicken Caesar Warp.. let me just say.. 10/10!!! Like the best wrap I've had in a minute! Filled with enough salad, chicken, croutons, and dressing! It was a fatty wrap.. I could only finish 1 half at my meal. & they give you a side of Caesar dressing!!?? Yall know what I want without even asking!

We did not try the food or the drinks on a Saturday Brunch The music was so loud that we can even talk to waiters inside the restaurant. Probably outside was ok But temperature was too hot at 1.pm We run from there to other restaurant that we can have a conversation and enjoy the afternoon. That loud music it is ok for a CLUB or at night if you want to dance No for the afternoon We come with friends to talk eat and drink no to scream to each other Any way was a lot people inside the restaurant screaming to each other that what they like "enjoy " Good luck

Leslie is the best server ever!!! She Knows her stuff! Very patient, funny and sweet! I will wait extra time to make sure she's my server! Everything came out as ordered. Definitely recommend this establishment! Great time, clean and staff was nice.

First time coming to the Kendall location and both Yasmin and Mike were great. Yasmin was able to suggest some items off the you for us as well explaining how the happy hour works. My first time there. Enjoyed our visit, Drinks, food & the vibe were fantastic. Look forward to the next visit

We come to brunch here every week and love the food, ambiance, and service. Alex is a skilled and personable bartender. All the staff is amazing. Bottomless mimosas, and a brunch menu that's impressive.

The wrap was decent. The service took a while to get to me the ambiance was lively. Overall this was a nice open space pub

For a Saturday lunch, we were a fairly large group but they were very accommodating and we were seated immediately. There was a bit of a crowd so service was slow. My chicken and waffles was ok but the waffles were a bit on the hard side. The drunken goat burger was nice as was the chicken melt sandwich. My drink was a fruity margarita but I did not like it. I asked for coffee but I got it when I was almost done with my meal (the server forgot me). Overall, it was meh, but I'll probably return to try something else. I liked the ambience and the outdoor tables look really nice overlooking the small lake.

They were very busy for a cold Friday night in Miami, but this was a great place to start girls' night! Our bartender was amazing! She got us started with kamikaze shots & the pictured drinks which were very delicious! Their playlist along with the drinks, worked their magic to ensure an awesome time.

The waiter was very friendly. Sitting outside was nice. The calamari tower is great! I don't suggest ordering the chicken caesar salad wrap, very mid. The steak was great.

I got the Brussel sprouts to go tonight && was appalled to find only 6 Brussel sprouts, not even fully grown to be within the container. Please see image attached. For charging $10 for this side, you would think there would be more than 6... but called the restaurant to figure out the mishap and was advised that they only serve about 5-6 sprouts for a side

The service was very prompt and the servers worked in tandem. Tap 42 has a nice sports ambiance but feels more like a restaurant than a bar to have a nice lunch out with family or friends. My chicken and waffles was delicious although my only concern is that the fried chicken batter was falling right off the chicken but it was still tasty.

Sometimes the best nights come from a little spontaneity. I was on my way to one of my usual weekend spots when I drove through the Town and Country Square Mall and noticed a new Tap 42 Craft Kitchen & Bar. Something about it just drew me in, so I decided to give it a try. Even though the parking lot was massive, it was completely packed. I ended up waiting about 20 minutes for a spot to open up, which had me thinking this place must be doing something right! As soon as I walked in, I felt the energy. The restaurant was bustling, but the three hostesses who greeted us were so friendly and welcoming that it didn't feel overwhelming. Even though the place was packed, they managed to clear a booth for us, and in about 10 minutes, we were seated. The space itself is impressive--spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated. There's plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, along with a massive bar area that was filled with people dining, chatting, and enjoying drinks. TVs around the bar showed NFL games and European fútbol, adding to the lively atmosphere. You could tell everyone was there to have a good time, and it was contagious. Our waitress, Marina, came by with a smile that immediately made us feel at home. She recommended the Islamorada draft beer, which turned out to be a tropical gem with hints of coconut refreshing and unique. Erika B went for a Mexican Modelo beer, a classic choice that paired perfectly with the evening. We started with the guacamole and charred corn appetizer, and let me tell you, it was phenomenal fresh, flavorful, and downright addictive. For our mains, I went with the Drunken Goat, a lamb burger topped with whipped goat cheese and arugula that was bursting with flavor. Erika B chose the fried chicken and waffles, which she couldn't stop raving about. To wrap up an already amazing meal, we shared the Strawberry Tres Leches dessert. It was indulgent, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet a perfect way to end the night. Tap 42 isn't just about the food or drinks it's about the experience. This location, which opened in 2022, is part of the Tapco Restaurant Group, and you can see why they've expanded to so many locations across South Florida. Their modern twist on American comfort food, creative cocktails, and welcoming atmosphere set them apart. What truly made the night memorable, though, was the people. Marina's attention to detail and friendly demeanor really stood out. It's rare to find a place where everything from the food to the service to the vibe comes together so seamlessly. If you're in the Kendall area, Tap 42 is a must-visit. I'm already looking forward to coming back, and next time, I might even bring a bigger group to share in the fun. Five stars, without a doubt!

Horrible service. Slower than slow. Sticky/grimey floors. Mediocre at best. Food is ok.

3.5 From the sport bars around the area this is the most decent one of all, most of the times. Along the bar category their food is consistently good and has a bit healthier amd rounded options. Ex. Salmon, chicken. Beef, noodles. About the beers, has a decent selection and options within the categories (IPA, etc.) I prefer to visit any other day except Friday, the day that is usually at peak, but that is a personal preference.

I stopped in for a glass of wine and an appetizer and selected the lettuce wraps. It was good, but I thought it was lacking one thing something to make it a little fresher maybe diced tomato on the side or a little something because it was just chicken and lettuce wrap, but the waitress brought me a slice of tomato and I diced it up and put it with the chicken and the lettuce wrap and it was just what it needed, something to brighten it up and cut the heat and salt just slightly. I was very happy with it. My sister said a little cup of kimchi or chopped kimchi would possibly be better than my tomato. Give it a little kick and freshness, just a thought. As for the service, it was amazing very attentive, but not overly so and they were very friendly. I really enjoyed it. Also, I sat outside on the boardwalk with the water and it was wonderful. I would recommend coming here.

I recommend this place. Food was amazing, hot and fresh as it should be. Service was excellent . And cocktails were really good compared to other places.

Great food, great ambience. I came to Tap 42 with some friends and had a great time. The place was buzzing with activity and even though it was busy, our waiter did a great job. We had the Crispy Asian Calamari Tower appetizer to share and I ordered the Prohibition Burger with sweet potato fries. The food was excellent and abundant. The other people at the table also enjoyed their food.

Affordable prices, excellent food and location. I came with my best friend to celebrate early Mother's Day and we had an awesome time! Arnie and Carlos are the best servers at this place! Thank you guys!

Quick bites meeting Some family in Kendall.What to say? Happy Hour: Great bar food with great prices on drinks and food. Our group had spicy salmon crispy rice with eel sauce and Asian calamari with sesame ginger aioli.They loved it !! Service was attentive and it was definitely 1 of the best Happy Hours have been to.

Went out for a girls night and had a great time! Music was great and our bartender was amazing. (Didn't get her name). Highly recommend the espresso martini and lemon drop martini, delicious! Overall great atmosphere, bathrooms were pretty clean, and just a good time overall.

Great place to come for a company happy hour or dinner. Menu was great -- they moscow mule was delicious (& strong)! Tried their filet steak sandwich and still dreaming about it. Service was super kind, busy but really nice. The ambiance is chill especially next to the small lake with the bridge in front to cross over after your done eating.

I go to tap42 all the time. The food is always great and tasty! I usually eat the short rib sliders with truffle fries or sweet potato. The truffle guacamole is good also. The service is great although I always try to get Mike as my waiter because he's so attentive and great. To drink I almost always have an espresso martini with Bailey's and whoever is at the bar makes them really good. I will definitely come especially since it's close to home. Highly recommended:)

Usually I take food and beverage photos but this is my first bathroom series because it looked like a raccoon lives in there at 4pm and these are not night life photos. The carpet is filthy and needs vacuumed and the bar is so long you have a 30 min wait time at 4pm. The bartender was friendly and so was the runner who I had to ask for water and help because the bar is too long and the bartender had a party and no one had a service bartender for them so the bartender could not manage the load because the bar was not staffed properly for the big party that took up half of the restaurant. I would definitely give this place a second shot because now I'm curious since someone recommended it and I wish them well.

We were looking for an easy, casual place to eat on our way home from Disney on Ice and ended up here. It was perfect for what we were looking for! Loved the beautiful ambiance. It's a fun sports bar but pretty decor, chandeliers, etc. Large tvs around the bar. Food was good. I had a salmon ceasar salad and the plantains. They came with a garlic sauce that was good (though just okay in combination). My husband had the chicken tender melt. The server was really friendly. It reminded me of a mix between Yardhouse and Bar Louie. I definitely look forward to going back here to watch football later this season!

The service was very attentive and the food was good. Always a great option for group outings

Love the food. Looks the service. And I celebrate every celebration here because of the people that work here. Alex Rasco you're the best manager ever. Thank you for your service , patience and for rescheduling for me after my movie was longer than what I expected. Mathew's service was awesome as well. Mathew your service is impeccable and Alfredo your smile and great service everytime you brought our food out was so appreciated!

My husband and I have been long-time fans of Tap 42, having visited the Aventura, Midtown, Doral, and Coral Gables locations over the years. We've always found the vibe to be fun and the food solid--especially the Prohibition Burger, which is consistently excellent no matter which location you choose. But my recent visit to Tap 42 Kendall truly stood out in the best way. What made this visit special? Aside from the great service and reliably tasty bites, the staff went above and beyond to make it a memorable experience for not just me but our dig too. One of the team members surprised me by bringing out a custom-made "pup cup"-style dessert just for our service dog, Kingsley. It was such a sweet and thoughtful gesture that really made my day. It's those little moments that show genuine hospitality and care, and it meant so much to us as dog lovers. Our pup was thrilled--and honestly, so was I. The Kendall location delivered the same quality food and drinks we've come to expect from Tap 42, but the extra personal touch made it our favorite visit yet. Will definitely along with Kingsley.

Having celiac, eating out is a challenging situation for me. When seated promptly and welcomed by our server, Yasmine by not only her cheerfulness, kindness and most importantly to me her knowledge to my accommodations I knew from that moment I was going to be truly safe with my dietary struggles. Yasmine directed me immediately to what was safe for me to eat and offered her recommendations from top to bottom on the menu. On such a busy evening I also found it very on point that the e manager at the moment came by to check up on us on what seemed to be second nature to him. As busy as it was, not once did they make us feel unattended to. All these points allowed our visit and the rest enjoying the moment a very pleasant evening out to be repeated. Thank you once again Yasmine!!

If you don't know what drink to order, order the Guava Spritz! You can also never go wrong with the Blackberry Smash I love Tap 42 because they have pretty good cocktails for a reasonable price. Probably the only franchise I order cocktails at.

If you're familiar with Tap 42 then this location should bring no surprises. This was my first time at this location and I had a pleasant experience. Decided to come after work for a quick dinner date on a Thursday and was surprised to see how busy it was at the bar. Not sure if it's always like this or if it's just because there was a game on. Definitely a fun ambiance for watching any games. I got one of my favorites from here - french dip impossible sandwich. Any non-meaters who like the occasional hearty sandwich should try this. It's always comforting, flavorful and filling. I did upgrade for the truffle fries which consistently disappoint me at every location, but I do it to myself at this point. They smell so great, they always come out hot and fresh, but the actual truffle taste is lacking and they sometimes leave more of a weird aftertaste. Service was prompt and great which I appreciated after a long day at work. Definitely would come back to this location if in the area.

Great location. Nice looking restaurant! Calamari was delicious! And the peachy lychee martini.... Oh wow!!! Keep it coming!!! lol

While this place gets extremely LOUD and the bar is definitely a pickup place lol. The food and service are always top notch! Drinks are well made, not watered down. If you come to enjoy and relax sitting outside might be best.

This location try's really hard to be a lounge or club. The music is so loud you can't hear the people sitting across from you or anything your waitress says. On two separate occasions I've seen people get so drunk that they're dropping and breaking glass. Other than that, the waiters are wonderful, friendly, and polite. The food is also very good, on par with other Tap 42 locations. Honestly because of the atmosphere, I wouldn't go back to this location willingly.

Never been here and definitely will be back. Great service, great food, amazing atmosphere with bad ass music!. Good location for a meet up or group event. Amazing views of the lake and tv's all over the place to enjoy sports. Super happy with the service. Definitely took care of us. Prices are fare and the dishes are huge and delicious.

Tap42 in Kendall is always a great spot to grab a drink and something good to eat. My go to on their menu are the lettuce wraps. Big shout out to Amanda behind the bar. Always on point when it comes to fetching another round. The vibe here is always cool.

The food is consistently good! It is very tasty every time. The service is good for the most part! On busy nights, it will be slower due to the high volume of people, but waiters are always friendly and helpful. It's a loud and energetic atmosphere, so it is fitting for occasional celebrations!

Flew in from New York and couldn't have asked for a better welcome. The bar staff made the experience exceptional from start to finish-friendly, fast, and on point. Huge shoutout to Karen, Madalynn, Jackie, and Michelle -each of them brought great energy and made sure the service was top-tier. The drinks were perfectly crafted, the food was on point, and the ambiance had just the right vibe. I'll definitely be recommending this spot to all my friends -- and I'll be back.

We went to this restaurant with my parents and toddler recently and had an ok experience. The food was definitely 10/10 and they did have a kids' menu to choose from. The artichoke dip was a highlight! Decoration is very tasteful and bathroom is well-kept. However, the music was extremely loud, to the point where we had to switch tables so we could hear each other out and this didn't even fix the issue entirely. It's a great place if you are going with large groups for happy hour. However, if you are looking for a bit more of a family experience, I wouldn't recommend -at least not on a Friday night. I also found it somewhat overpriced. I may come back for lunch with a friend or a work happy hour but I won't be coming back with my family.

Let me start off by saying I was very surprised by this restaurant. We were down in Miami on vacation and came for dinner because of the yelp reviews! It is located in a outdoor mall setting with plenty of parking. Came on Friday and so happy when we found out they had a DJ, the night just off to a better start. Our server Arnie was the bomb very. We started with the spinach artichoke dip, so good! I had the chicken bowl, full of flavor burst all in one bowl, the cilantro rice was so good. Came with a sauce and sour cream on side. Everyone else had different things off the menu they were all very pleased. Finished off with the strawberry shortcake tres leche's...... you can't come here without having, you will thank me!! If you have a Tap 42 near you, you need to go there!!!

It was a Wednesday at 5:30 when we came in. The place is very nice and thankfully not at all busy when we came in. The hostess took us to a dirty sticky booth and I asked if we could change seats in which was quickly granted with an apology which I appreciated. Our hostess was sweet and informed us of the happy hour specials. My BF got the pasta which was cheesy gooey delicious perfection and I got the drunken goat which was lovely but it was very wet and I barely tasted the goat cheese" and I asked for a medium rare but got a medium which is fine the patty is a combo of lamb and beef so the combination of meats might make it hard to nail the cook. - regardless that was " one tasty burger" All in all it's a good time to eat drink and watch The Heat win

they have the best food in the universe besides my love for stake and pizza. i love tap 42! its a nice place!

Yes it's loud, but what place really isn't. So know that straight off the bat before you go. Especially on Sunday Brunch where the DJ is mostly playing bangers. Having been there several times, I always find myself getting the peachy lychee and it's never a miss. Food was delicious and well proportioned, that we took some home. MUST TRY THE GUAC, even if you're not a big fan of getting an appetizer. We waited about 15 minutes before we were seated so I recommend reservation.

Very good service and the food is so good! The steak is full of flavor and juicy. Fries are made of potato that you can taste full of flavor

think I may have eaten cat food! Ordered the chicken lettuce wraps the chicken was small chunks never have seen chicken cut like that before. It looked just like cat food, the taste was non existent. I ordered fries as well, they came out cold. I sat at the bar to eat and the service was slow, she kept forgetting about me and what I asked for. She finally brought my second drink at which time I was ready to leave and left without drinking it. It was my first and last time at a Tap 42.

First time at this location. First of all the vibe is great. Second, our server, Jose was excellent. H was friendly and offered great suggestions. We had smoked old fashions ( without the maple), which were very good. The half rack of ribs was fall off the bone and could not have been better. My wife had the Prohibition burger, which she loved. We both switched the fries for the Asian slaw, which was unique and outstanding. You won't got wrong coming here. We'll definitely be back.

Tap 42 is always consistently good. The food is delicious, no matter what you get. The vibe is always lovely with good music - especially for their bottomless brunch on the weekends. I wouldn't recommend if you don't like loud places, but this will always be one of my go to options for food and/or a good time.
