I recently visited TAP Sports Bar in the MGM Casino at Springfield, Massachusetts, and had a terrific time tasting their tantalizing treats. I went all out and tried the Bling Burger—a truly unique experience. This extravagant burger features two all-beef patties, coated in 24K gold leaf, with all the classic toppings: American cheese, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, and onion. Paired with golden-dusted fries, it was a fun and flashy indulgence. Ever wonder what a gold-wrapped burger tastes like? It’s just as delicious as any high-quality burger, with a dash of ketchup and mustard for that timeless taste. Alongside, I enjoyed an expertly crafted Old Fashioned, with quality cherries and just the right balance of flavors. For dessert, I tackled a towering, oversized sundae loaded with whipped cream, colorful sprinkles, and topped with a bright cherry—perfect for sharing! The atmosphere was lively, with tunes and televisions adding to the thrill. Everyone seemed thrilled to be there, and the bar staff was truly attentive, ensuring our table had everything we needed. With ample seating, we felt comfortably accommodated throughout our visit. If you’re seeking tasty tavern treats in a thrilling atmosphere, TAP Sports Bar is definitely worth a trip!

Out of all the restaurants at the MGM casino. Taps is by far the best spot! The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. Staff are super helpful and knowledgeable. They have amazing hosts and waitstaff. My first time at TAPS I was greeted by Ms. Malika (hostess). She was so kind and friendly. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you TAPS for the fantastic time. I look forward to coming back again.

This was our first time here. We did not think the casino was anything special however we loved the TAP sports bar. Our server was attentive. The food was delicious and priced reasonably. We all got different dishes and no one was disappointed. The bar was fully stocked. The atmosphere was laid back comfortable. Several large televisions scattered. We would not take the one hour trip for the casino but we might for the TAP sports bar.

I've been here a few times, the bar pub style menu isn't overdone. I got the taps burger and 2 apps to share Food came out quickly even though they were busy. The waitress was friendly and even refilled my soda without me having to ask,

Our family of 9 ate here recently. This sports Bar has a good selection of Draft Beers, Appetizers and Sandwiches. We were impressed with the service we received from our server Gillian and her co-workers. The pace of the food was good for this occasion. The Tap is a good dining option when visiting the Casino.

I'm writing this review as a disappointed customer who visited the Tap Sports Bar at MGM Springfield in Massachusetts. While my server was top-notch and attentive, the food left a lot to be desired. I've been to Tap Sports Bar before and had a great experience, but this visit fell short. My burger was overcooked, ordered medium but served well done, and the bang bang broccoli that accompanied it was lukewarm at best. To make matters worse, they don't even offer hot tea - a significant drawback for me. Overall, I was let down by the food quality and variety, and I hope they take my feedback into consideration to improve their culinary offerings. We where hungry but I definitely would not come back especially as a MGM rewards member

Came here before we watched the Barbie movie. Very sports bar and sports bar menu. Nothing really stuck out as phenomenal to me. We ordered the nachos. The nachos I will say that they did come out with a lot of cheese but I've had better .My son of course ordered his mozzarellas sticks which came out very cold and bland. They didn't have any gluten-free buns available which is very disappointing because you should have that if you're serving burgers and sandwiches. But I did order the pulled chicken sandwich without a bun. And my son had the mac and cheese which he enjoyed. My friends also had the burgers which they quite enjoyed themselves but they don't have to be gluten-free like myself so they got a bun.

Great place inside the MGM resort, we were staying the hotel and wanted a late bite to eat. I was reluctant to go to the sports bar (being from the UK we don’t follow basketball/ice hockey etc, so I don’t know anything about these sports) I was also concerned that it would be loud and the food mass produced - but I was pleasantly surprised! The TV screens were great, there were tonnes of beer options and the food was really nice.

We were at MgM for a few days and there are not many options but glad we found this one. Service was on point, food was ok, drinks were good. Espresso martini, was good for being batched. Usually not a fan, you can definitely tell the difference and they did offer to make one from scratch if I wanted. We had the bang bang broccoli which was out of this world! I had a burger, disappointed I asked for as rare as they can and I still got a hockey puck. I asked first, I don't like med or medium well, they stated if I wanted it cooked rare or Mr it would be done. I didn't eat most of the burger, the server comped it no biggie. The chicken sandwich was great, and the red velvet is simply amazing

Great sports bar inside MGM, tons of tvs to watch all the games, always cold drinks, apps are awesome as are the burgers, don't sleep on the pulled chicken sandwich!

The food was excellent. It came out nice and fresh and hot and exactly when they said it would it came up exactly the way I wanted it. I had no problems with the food. The service was out of this world. She really did a great job. her name was Ebony I really would recommend asking for her. The next time you go in to have a bite of food there definitely ask for Ebony because she was spot on on her business and the way she did her serving. She constantly checked in on us to make sure that everything was fine and cooked exactly the way we like it And lucky for us. It wasn't too noisy and stuff in there we went in a really good time of the day so I would recommend being there again at noon time on a Friday. Which was crazy because I really thought that it would've been a lot busier.

Nice spot! Has the mushroom burger and it was delish. Sweet potatoes fries were overdone, but tried my friend's onion rings and they were very good. Had the Apple Cider Moscow Mule, not bad but weak. Brownie dessert was ok, wouldn't order again. Three of us ordered it and had the same opinion.

I can no longer recommend Tap. If you're in MGM Springfield and hungry, go for it. If you want a drink, go for it. If you want to hang out with friends, go for it. But as a standalone restaurant where we're rating food and service, this isn't it anymore. The food portions have gotten smaller. The burgers are now 1/3 smaller, at least. The clam chowder is overpriced for what you get. The service is very disjointed. The staff seems like they're going through the motions. Also, the hosts (front of house staff) are terrible. You can get there and have there be countless open tables and they stand there, stunned, looking around as if they're trying to find something that's open. This has happened numerous times. The entire food court at MGM Springfield is awful. Tap, although not in the food court, used to be a welcome reprieve from that garbage. Now, Tap has become just a few steps above that food court. We used to enjoy coming here for the food. Not anymore.

Veggie wrap was supposed to come with hummus but the kitchen ran out and didn't tell the server. It was boring without it! The sweet potato fries on the other hand were hot and delicious. Also had the chicken caesar wrap which had no sauce on it and was very blah tasting. It's all in the sauce chefs! Poor food experience. Save your money.

We stopped into MGM after errands. We waited 40 mins to be seated which was reasonable for a Friday night. The dinner took an extremely long time for one dip and two rare temperature burgers. The server was very nice and attentive so that comment is not regarding the service. The spinach dip lacked flavor and salt . The mushroom swiss burger was also boring. The mushrooms were canned not sauteed and bland. For 71$ and 2 hours it was not worth the visit.

I like TAP, and I have been here multiple times. If you have not checked it out yet, I surely recommend that you do so. Primarily, I go to TAP for beer... beer and ambiance. The service is really good and the beer list... oh man... it's one of the best in the whole area! It's to the point that if I want some of my go-to brews (not to mention the local stuff) this is one of the places I trust to have what I want and need. I also can go there and every now and then find something new to drink and enjoy. I'm not a huge fan of TAP's food, but the menu is pretty solid. It's a sports bar (duh) so bar food is to be expected. I do like the portions and I never felt oppressed by the prices (especially since I remembered that THIS IS IN A CASINO). If I had to pick some favorite food items, they'd probably be the calamari and the buffalo chicken dip. Mmmmmm. I will be back at TAP very soon -- especially since it's football season -- and I look forward to their great service and great beer! See you there!

First time here. We stayed at the MGM and wanted a nightcap and a place to decompress after flying in from So Cal. It was about a 2 hour plus drive from Logan Airport in Boston and this was a nice break from our drive to Cooperstown. Taps had bar seats ready and waiting for us to plop into it. The martinis and beers were cold and went down quite smoothly. Bartender and staff were courteous and on it. No complaints.

Came here to eat dinner one night while at the casino. Although it was easy to get a spot at the bar and the service was very good, the food was another story nine dollars for 2/3 of a cup of chili doesn't sit well with me. At that price, give a bowl and fill it all the way. I also got a salad with grilled chicken price was $17 and most of the sour head that brown / red tint to it. Hardly any chicken maybe five bites. Just disappointing I would've got a full entrée. At that point if I knew the food was going to be less than stellar I'll give them another shot at redemption soon, but I was not happy with what I got to eat.

Mediocre food. We stopped in for lunch this afternoon, after spending a few hours in the MGM Casino. My wife ordered a pulled pork chicken sandwich and I went with a Swiss mushroom burger. We had a Fried pickle chips appetizer to start. Everything was OK, but nothing really stood out. I asked for my burger to be cooked medium, but I felt it was more on the well-done side. Also, the cheese was barely melted on the burger. Unlike a lot of other Yelp reviews I have been reading for TAP, we felt the service was excellent, the staff was very friendly & attentive. But honestly, can't see a reason for a return visit next time we head up to MGM. A weak 3 Star rating.

I was in the area for business and went out to dinner. The other restaurants in the casino were closed for the day as was a few outside of it. We came in and grabbed a table. It is what you would expect. It's average bar food. The food was good. No complaints. The service was friendly and attentive. The place was surprisingly not loud. I would grab a bite there again, but I wouldn't go our of my way. It's average bar food with a friendly staff.

Bad experience! Took a while to receive our food. But, the food is good. Service is TERRIBLE!!!!! Had to ask 3 times for silverware.....

Yelp
Horrible experience We stopped by around 2 on Sunday January 14 We were told it was a 30 minute wait unless we find something at the bar so we decided to look. While we walked through we noticed over a dozen tables that nobody was on and were not reserved but messy. Also another dozen or so tables that were reserved and empty. Of course nothing at the bar. So we walked out. On the way out I said something to the hostess and she just shrugged her shoulders. Pretty much to say tough....... So as always we went across the street to get pizza. The people behind us said the same thing! Too bad.

Yea I mean if you are in the casino and looking for a quick casual place to stop and have a nice burger or something this place is great! The service was good, the food was hot and tasty. I wish they had a bigger vegetarian section or options, I think I ate coleslaw and onion rings cause that's all I could order. The burgers looked good. I would stop in again if I was at MGM.

Average food at best but great spot if you just want drinks and watch the games.. maybe the nachos..

Brian H.

Yelp
Stopped in this spot for a quick drink and snack. The place was pretty slammed so it was difficult to find a place to sit but I did get in on the bar area. I ordered a draft beer and nachos. It took a while to get the server over to make an order. Once the order was done and beer delivered it took about 20 minutes to get the nachos. The service was pretty good considering how busy they were and the service was not bad. I rate the spot as a middle of the road sports bar. I'd go back for sure.

They should update this to Bowling in the description. We were pleasantly surprised when we stumbled upon this sports bar and bowling! The bowling system gives you the option to play games within bowling. For instance, we tried the "funny face" bowling game. It was a fun way to still bowl and be competitive, but to create funny characters out of the people who are bowing on the screen. Such a great place!

Five mostly for the pleasant service. I have been in the area on a number of working occasions. I never stopped in because it is in the casino. I stopped in this time because the other restaurant was closed. I was pleasantly surprised when I stepped in the place. I had been big on Reuben sandwiches for a spell. That was until I had one at Shawn O'Briens roadhouse in Jackson GA. After that I was disappointed too many times. Today I tried one for the first time in a while at TAP. This sandwich was almost as good as the one at Shawn O'Briens. The first thing I noticed was the nachos that a nearby customer had ordered. See pix. The next thing was when I bit into my sandwich, is that the meat would not separate easily with a bite. Maybe the meat was too tough maybe it could have been sliced thinner??? Some of the meat pulled out of the sandwich... This makes eating a bit awkward. The flavor was incredible. Corned beef on a lightly toasted marbled rye, the sauerkraut was not overpowering the dressing seemed homemade. IDK. Overall it was great.

We went here for the igloo night. We made a reservation about a month ago for this igloo tent since there was only a couple of tents available. The igloo tent was a cool concept. They had rocking chairs, blanket, a speaker and a portable heater. It was good that we had a private rent for just our friends. It was quiet and private and we were able to hear each other talk. The tables at the restaurants were very loud and it was crowded so I'm glad we got the igloo. Our igloo had a hole in it so since it was raining, the carpet inside was wet. Even with the small portable heater, the tent was cold. The food and drinks was where this place lost stars. The food and drinks were way over priced and the food wasn't that good. The cheese on the grilled cheese was not melted all the way. The bread was soggy and wasn't grilled all the way. The soup tasted like it was from a can. The dessert was mediocre at best. The cookie ice cream sandwich was very hard to eat. Ice cream was melted and soupy but the cookie was hard as rocks. The drinks were not strong either and very overly priced. Overall, it was a cool experience but I wouldn't come back.

Service was good. Ordered wings. When received they looked like flat deformed pancakes. HONESTLY. No wings I ever seen. Disappointed. Seemed no one cared. Received no carrots just 1 slice of celery. Said they ran out. RAN OUT I SAID. lol Maybe TAPPS should not sell wings either. Look guys find a new supplier of frozen wings. Shame on you. I can eat at Red Rose in the city next time. Only good experience was the server. Lastly, TAPPS was empty at the casino last night. Now I know why.

The ratings for TAP certainly run the gamut, and even I had experienced enough downside issues on our first visit that I chose to say we had experienced better elsewhere. Well, for some reason I never wrote an update for our visit just over eight months ago. And while I won't be able to tell you everything about that visit, there is enough in my memory and photos to give some useful information. Our visit in October, 2018 was on a Thursday, so we did not experience a crowd like we did on our most recent visit on a Saturday. So the best tip I can give you is to avoid weekends and holidays. We sat at the bar on both of these last two visits. That enabled me to recharge my phone by using the outlets hidden underneath the bar. But we were lucky to even get seats at the bar on this last trip because the restaurant was so crowded. There was an hour wait for a table. We saw one empty seat at the bar and my wife offered it to me (with my bad back). Halfway through our meal the gentleman to my wife's left had finished his meal and offered her his seat. There is a really nice selection of draft beers on their thirty taps. We started off this visit with pints of Black and Blue (Guinness over Blue Moon) ($8) for my wife and a Back East Porter ($8) for me. I thought the porter needed more flavor, but it was still good. Having not recalled that I had tried the Pulled Pork sandwich ($16) on our previous visit, I ordered it with sweet potato fries. I had forgotten how good their rolls are. With black and white sesame seeds on top, they are really fresh and hold up well with the delicious and moist pork, whole grain mustard, and a little bit of arugula. This was an excellent sandwich. The sweet potato fries were perfectly cooked also - crispy on the outside and soft on the inside - with good flavor. My photos from last October remind me that my wife had a Reuben ($14) on that visit and was actually considering ordering one this visit until our bartender/server suggested the Hot Lobster Roll ($23) since my wife could not make up her mind between the two. Even though my wife and I had shared a cold lobster roll earlier at Jack's Lobster Shack in the South End Market part of the casino, my wife decided to go with the bartender/server's suggestion. The lobster was as sweet as the one we had shared earlier, but it was a little drier, maybe because of being heated up. The roll was also not as tasty as the one we shared earlier. In spite of the crowd, I'm going to raise my rating. The beer selection is great, the servers have been very good, our food was delivered quickly, and the food is tasty. After three visits, I'm a fan.

The staff is super friendly and helpful. Even though MGM is not the most kid friendly, this place was pretty accommodating. Tom and Aaliyah were great and friendly. Food was good overall. Burgers were great. The only thing we wouldn't recommend was the patriots steak roll wasn't very good especially for the price. We also bowled which is very nice and comfortable. Wish there was a kids ramp for bowling but I know its not really a kids kinda place so we understand. Overall very clean. Bar drinks were great. We had a few beers and margaritas. Selection of beers was great.

We had a great time in the casino (dad hit the jackpot)!and with all the excitement, webworked up an appetite so we ventured over to TAP. Well... I should start by saying the food was actually pretty good. We ordered the nachos and they were loaded with toppings and had great Mexican style flavor. I ordered the 1/2 roasted chicken which was succulent and full of flavor. Mashed potatoes were spot on. Veggie was broccolini. Delish! So why 3 stars? Well, our server's attitude was flippant and rude. She blatantly ignored us a few times because we asked for little things like silverware, plates for the nachos (sorry, I don't eat off the table), lemon for the Seltzer that I originally ordered that came without it. So she practically ignored us and other staff helped us when they passed by. Her demeanor was bland and she lacked a personality. It really ruined our dinner experience. Service was 1 Star because the other staff jumped in.

Jill H.

Yelp
Fantastic service, but a very limited and very overpriced menu. We have eaten here twice, and were disappointed both times. The macaroni & cheese had a sort of grainy consistency. The fish in the fish & chips was low quality - extremely fishy to the point it was making my husband nauseous (and he loves seafood).

Heather W.

Yelp
There is a lot of hype around the new MGM Casino here in Springfield. It is hard to pass by TAP with the promise of something new and flashy. While the food itself is standard pub fare -burgers and fries- they did have a delicious veggie burger option. This restaurant is enormous inside, however you can't hear a darn thing because it is so noisy with the way the bar and TVs are set up. I don't tend to like to go to restaurants where I am drowned by noise unless I am participating in some kind of a Patriots or Red Sox event where I expect there to be lots of noise. And honestly, the drinks are way overpriced here, no surprise at a casino, so it is not like people are excited to be getting drunk at the bar when there are plenty of others to go to in the area that are much more reasonably priced. I don't even know what to say about these people. I am going back and writing this review retrospectively, and I can't really remember why I am even giving it three stars -likely because the game room in the back of the bar has some little games to play for free, and maybe that it's redeeming quality.

We stopped here during our mini moon and decided to just get apps. We loved our food. The BBQ tacos and the loaded fries stole the show for sure. The wait was the worst part. Otherwise, delicious.

Yes I'm back. Do I dare order the Old Fashioned? They got it wrong the first two times and when I actually watched them make it (the last time), I spotted the errors. The server asked if I wanted a water . I said "No. Not it's tap." Get it? Tap?! What a terrible pun ‍! I'm going for it! I explained my changes to their recipe: (1) 2 ounces of bourbon (not 1 1/2) (2) too much simply syrup (sugar and water ). Just use a little sugar and water (3) DO NOT muddle the fruit, usually an orange and/or cherry . Let's see what it looks like and how it tastes . FINALLY!!! We have a winner! This is perfect ! I like the "MGM" spear. They used Maker's Mark, too, which is a huge plus! The bartender also used 2 large ice cubes to slow up the melting process. I'm impressed! That's very creative and thoughtful. They even gave me extra bitters in a separate glass!!! For $14, this is worth my money and then some. Maker's Mark is a small-batch bourbon whiskey produced in Loretto, Kentucky, by Beam Suntory. It is bottled at 90 U.S. proof (45% alcohol by volume) and sold in squarish bottles sealed with red wax. For my first food item, I'm having the "Big Wedge Salad " made with iceberg lettuce wedge, red onion , smoked bacon , tomatoes , red wine vinaigrette, buttermilk dressing and Everything seasoning. You only need 5 simple ingredients to make this everything bagel seasoning recipe: Sesame seeds - In my opinion, everything bagel seasoning is all about the sesame seeds. Their toasty, nutty flavor plays perfectly off the dried onion, garlic, and salt. A mix of (1) black sesame seeds and (2) white sesame seeds makes this seasoning blend visually striking, but if you can't find both, just one will work here too. (3) Poppy seeds - For crunch! (4) Dried minced garlic and onion - They add lots of garlicky, oniony flavor. (5) Flaky sea salt - I've made everything bagel seasoning with coarse sea salt and kosher salt too, but flaky sea salt is the best by far. Unlike coarse salt, which is aggressively salty in this mix, the flaked sea salt is delightful. It makes the nutty, savory flavor of the other ingredients pop. I've asked for light on the blue cheese crumble. Wow ! What presentation! Tastes great too! This is huge too! They use cloth napkins to wrap the metal utensils , but these are the times I guess. For my next drink, I'm having a Manhattan martini . This is not on the menu, but I like whiskeys and bourbons. A Manhattan is a cocktail made with whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters. While rye is the traditional whiskey of choice, other commonly used whiskies include Canadian whisky, bourbon , blended whiskey , and Tennessee whiskey. The Main alcohol is Whisky. Use 2 oz Rye or Canadian whisky, 3/4 oz Sweet red vermouth, Dash Angostura bitters. For Preparation: Stirred over ice , strained into a chilled glass, garnished, and served straight up. It is usually served Straight up; without ice. The standard garnish is a Cherry . This is a just a little different than an Old Fashioned. They used Makers's Mark again, which is five with me! The bartender (Carly) said she knows I like it (per the server Taylor). Yep! You got that right! Wow ! This is good ! Strong and tasty ! This place just got an upgrade ! For my entree, I'm having the "Hall of Fame Burger " (cooked medium) made with English cheddar cheese , bread and butter pickles (God, I loved these), onion and "burger" sauce (?). The origin of bread and butter pickles is attributed to Omar and Cora Fanning, cucumber farmers who started selling sweet and sour pickles in the 1920s Called "Fanning's Bread and Butter Pickles." It is believed the name came by bartering them for staples such as bread and butter. These fries are good! Fresh oil and salty. A huge portion too. There are two hamburger Pattie's stacked on top of each other. This is damn good ! I'm glad I came back!

I'm a regular at the casino but had somehow never eaten at Tap before today. I went with a large party for opening day of football. They were very accommodating about showing the games we wanted to see (not the Patriots.) Our server Gillian was amazing. Generous portions and everything we ordered was delicious! My picky eater even said we have to go back. I'm sure we will, sooner rather than later.

I was recommended to come to MGM while my stay in MA. I didn't realize that this place was inside the casino. But when I got there,super packed on a Friday night. I was there for about two hours and people didn't stop from coming in and out. My friends and I wanted to bowl there so we put our name on the list and we were suppose to get the call which we didn't, and that was a bummer. They did have open lanes but supposedly they were reserved, somewhat disappointed we didn't get the call. We ended up sitting by the bar and got our drinks. Drinks can be on the expensive side but that's typical. It was a really good atmosphere, service was quick as we were sitting by the bar. No really complains but i wished we had the chance to bowl. Other than that, everything was great.

This is a pretty casual sports bar/restaurant. They have everything from burgers and sandwiches to entrees. My mom and I shared the giant pretzel which came with both mustard and cheese. My mom has just a plain cheeseburger with onion rings and I had the armory burger with bbq sauce, cheese and bacon. Both were good and cooked as we had asked. They were skimpy on the onion rings. Nothing fancy here and service was okay. Not the friendliest, but food time was decent. I'd go back if I was looking for something casual and not food-court.

Erik S.

Yelp
If 3 & 1/2 stars were a possibility I would give it the bump but it isn't, so 3 stars it is. This place is lively and fun, which is also perfect for watching a game or bowling at their 10 lanes. However the food is lackluster and overpriced for the quality. The burger was over loaded with onions (and I like onions), even when scraping them off the burger, it was tasteless and of average quality. The wings are also average and were not crispy and overloaded with sauce. The service was acceptable and friendly. This place is great to stop in to have a drink and enjoy watching a game with limited apps but they need to work on the quality of the entrees.

TAP is probably the best sports bar in town, with lots of screens, hearty burgers, and a wide offering of beers, wines, and spirits. The veggie burger is great for vegetarians; it's flame-grilled, thick, and satisfying. The veggie burger comes with a special sauce that adds a nice touch. With diced grilled onions inside and that flamed taste, it had me dreaming of cookouts back home. I'd like to come back to try the desserts. My only complaint is that it's in MGM, so the casino vibe is a bit overwhelming. The decor feels local-ish, with Massachusetts and even local (Bay State) memorabilia on the walls. But the corporate reataurant feel is present as well, especially since it's inside MGM. Minus one star for not truly being local.

The service was great. The server Kaylie was so nice and on top of everything. She made the experience a positive one.

Horrible service. COVID has nothing to do with lazt servers that sit around hanging out with friends rather than doing the job they are paid for. Husband orders chicken tacos 10+ minutes later server comes out saying no more chicken tacos. Hubby and I share a meal and what we see is chicken tacos being served. So I speak to Kaylee the manager and she tells me well they just came back. So we cant be offered them? Kaylee brushed me off again and stated to me well do you want them. I said no I have been here for 2hrs and they got their food over an hour and a half ago. Pretty was told oh well. Nice management. Tom came to our table and asked how it was tonight we told him and finally someone that has actual customer service skills. Will we return NO but atleast an adult with proper work ethic and training is working at thus establishment.

It's a shame I can't get at least 4 stars for this Brew Pub in our new casino venue. Once we got to our table--1 hour and 15 minutes in line, we ordered our wonderfully meaty bowls of brisket chili with beer cheddar and chives topping--which we were told would also include a sour cream topping, but we had to ask for. Our server, Jill, was very busy, and still maintained a lovely, friendly, and even efficient service, and gladly brought our sour cream. So that's the good news. More about the bad--LONG lines seemed perhaps to be a Saturday problem, but, with more than an hour to chat with line fellows, we discovered from Carolyn and Brent, who had been here more than once, this problem is recurring. They also found their sandwiches to not be extraordinary enough for the wait--although I saw they actually were back for a multiple visit. We asked to speak with Jorge, the manager on duty, and a server said, "I'll send him right over." We waited. He never arrived. At the cash register, we found him, but he was so swamped with checking for something that appeared to be a mistake, that we didn't have the heart to get his attention to ask simply, "Why? What's wrong." We also tried to find out whether the food contained the dreaded Canola oil, and were told it all comes from "upstairs" wherever that is, and so this important question could not be answered. The chef said it is vegetable oil they use, but we don't trust that label anymore, because it is often really Canola in disguise--which is NOT a vegetable. We will call the "upstairs" people. Bottom line. We believe the chili had no Canola and it was delicious. But we still need to know about the frying oil before consuming anything fried. We will have the chili again, however, and will hope for a shorter line if we don't choose popular meal times.

We had a great time and great food! We went on Christmas Eve after work around 3pm. The waitress was nice albeit slow. The food was good. We ordered the Armory Burger and each of us had a different side so we can taste each other's food. The onion rings were great as were the sweet potato fries. The real star was the nachos with guacamole and beer cheese. Prices are what you would expect from a nice pub/burger bar. The added bonus was the game section with tables to play games or for an added charge you can bowl. I had bowled during an earlier visit with my kids and we all had a great time. We will be back!

We were in the throes of a minor blizzard so I had the bright idea to go to the casino in Springfield for the first time :-), being pretty hungry we decided to go the tap for a late lunch. The food was fine, burger, Rueben, onion rings to share. 1 drink each. I was a little surprised that the bill was ~$69.00 but it's a casino I guess. The corned beef on the Rueben good, the rest was ok. The onion rings I believe were of the frozen/drop in the fryer variety. The cherry in my manhattan had a pit. I thought that I broke a tooth initially but thank goodness did not. A luxardo cherry would have been preferred rather than the neon maraschino that came with. Second time back---for breakfast this time... Having been extremely surprised to actually win some money at the casino, I decided what the heck, we'll try the Tap for breakfast.... 2 bloody marys and 2 breakfasts for $58. I had eggs benedict with breakfast potatoes. English muffins, shaved deli ham (I believe) small eggs, and hollandaise. The breakfast potatoes were of the fryer variety. I personally would not order this again. I am giving this 2 stars because the servers were wonderful and engaging.

We've eaten here before, it's a kind of on and off place. Mostly it's pub food. We had a Reuben, a salad and a bowl of chili. Expect everything here to cost a few $ more than other pub places. The Reuben was mediocre and I would probably not order it again. The chili was bad the last time, but was pretty good this time. Service was better then in the past. With few places to eat at MGM, it may be your best option.

This spot yes it's a sports bar and also got video games/bowling alley as well but I will say this spot in MGM Springfield is a jack of all trades. Food I had was an Armory Burger with onions, bacon & BBQ sauce and the stuff yes got fries and all in all not bad (little note this comes in a two 8 ou. patties so you'll get your fill if you're hungry). Food variety is not bad but just myself just wish a tad more and not high price wise. Oh yes a photo of the meal is coming too. Small note the place has a MA Lottery Station so you can also play scratch tickets & have draw tickets on MA Lottery as well-sorry I forgot that nugget of info for you but least I edited so this is also known.

We were staying at the hotel and found that this place was the only place open in the afternoon so we decided to give it a shot. We were sat at a table quickly and our server was attentive, cheerful and very helpful. I mentioned that it was my wife's birthday, the server said she had a birthday coming up later this month and that they were birthday buddies. She recommended a number of dishes - the cheese fries were awesome, the burgers were great and the brownie desert (with a birthday candle in it!) was perfect. Plus the beer was ice cold. We couldn't ask for anything better. I wish I could remember the server's name so I could give her a shout out but I don't recall. If we lived closer I could see us making this a regular hang out. Next time we're in the area we will definitely stop in!

Average pub food with casino-esque prices. The menu is pretty small but has good variety. We tried the chilli, clam chowder, wedge salad, and the kielbasa dog with beans. Nothing to write home about but also no complaints either. 3 stars for the food. Extra star for the service and the atmosphere. There's bowling and an arcade in the back of the restaurant. Also many TVs available to watch your favorite sports game.
