Tapped Public House Mill Creek

Tapped, come for the beer, stay for the food! I've got a lot to say about Tapped, and almost all of it is positive. I don't know anything about their other locations, but since their Mill Creek location opened, I've been there about a dozen times. First off, the beer: great! They have around 30+ taps of mostly Northwest beer, so there is something for everyone. The selection is well balanced too, plenty of stouts, lagers, sours, IPAs My only personal qualm is they never seem to have more than 1 west coast IPA, usually they have 5 IPAs and 2-3 of them are generally Hazy IPAs. They also have a large selection of canned and bottled brews and other non alcoholic beverages. There's something for everyone to drink! Because you order up front initially, they are generally very cool about letting you sample a couple of beers before making your choice.Secondly, the food, oh man the food! The highlights for me are the prime rib dip, the pretzel burger, and the Mama Lil's aioli that comes with the perfectly crispy fries. The Prime Rib dip in particular is awesome. A salted hoagie roll contains a generous helping of prime rib, with tasty grilled onions. And the au jus is fantastic, it's more soup-like than liquid so it's a bit thicker with tons of flavor. Most of the items I've had have been spot on, with only a few misses. Last time I was there, I got the fried chicken sandwich. While the bun and coleslaw were excellent, the panko-breaded chicken patty didn't have much flavor in the way of seasoning, and the patty in particular, while not small, was pretty thin. I'm guessing it was overcooked. One of the few items I'd probably just not order again. My only real complaint about the food: the few times I've been when it's pretty busy, not all of the food comes out hot. One time in particular, we mentioned something to our server when he asked how everything was. To their credit, they comped us for the item that came out lukewarm.The food is a tad on the pricier side, which is expected in Mill Creek. The portions are just right to leave full, but it's been rare that we've taken home leftovers.The armosphere is fun. Lots of seating, plenty of families, a pretty large bar to sit at. The servers have all been nothing but helpful and nice. If you're a Mariners fan, they always have the game going on a few tvs. There's plenty of TVs in general, and they always seem to be tuned into whatever good sporting event is going on. There's plenty of parking, even if the parking lot can be a pain in the way it's designed.Overall, we love coming to Tapped. Definitely worth a shot, even if you're not a beer drinker.

Very easily the best place to get a bite and drink in Mill Creek and possibly on the east side. The service is impeccable and moves at the speed of light. Can be a little pricey but after you take your first bite you'll have nothing to complain about. Get the chicken sandwich!

My family loves Tapped, and we visit regularly for lunch or dinner. It is a popular spot, so expect crowds if you go at a busy time. The service and food quality are consistently good. My daughter enjoys the street tacos and I crave the honey lime chicken salad - it's so good! They also have a great drink selection, with plenty of beers on tap and in cans/bottles. It is a fun spot to visit with family or friends. A casual environment with delicious food and drinks. Totally worth a visit if you have not yet tried it.

We discovered this great new place last night in Mill Creek. Tapped was buzzing as we walked in. Very lively and a bit crowded but that is what you come here for, good food, drink and company.While there, we learned about the menu from the chef who was kind enough to visit our section and we learned from Austin that Tapped began in Camano Island and after expanding to Mukilteo and Mill Creek, they are going to open a new location at the Everett Marina next. Gotta check that one out when it opens!My favorite drink from the evening was the frozen Paloma Margarita, although I tried the Belching Beaver Peanut Butter Milk Stout (try saying that 5 times fast!) and the #11 Stout Brewery Sticks and Stones Stout (a whopping 11% ABV!). Each drink was yummy in their own ways. For food, my wife had the brussel sprouts and i had the Loaded Tots, served in a small cast iron bowl. Very cool. We also shared a bowl of the French Onion Soup which was flavorful.Thank you to the wonderful staff at Tapped for a very fun and invigorating evening! I'm all "Tapped" out (ha ha).

This place is a hidden gem! Wish I knew about it sooner. It's such a vibe. Fun space and lively. The staff is wow, the best! Everyone was so kind and friendly. Shellene checked in on us a lot and provided above and beyond service. Usually brewery and bar food is mid, but the food was also delicious. They didn't skimp on the meats or portions. I'll definitely be back knowing this spot is here!

We came to this place for an event on a Thu evening. The restaurant was huge and full of people! We ordered at the counter and took a number. The staff then would find us and serve our food at our table based on the number. While they had a lot of selections of drinks to choose from, they also let me try out the beers before I committed to purchasing. Their fish and chips was delicious! The staff was very friendly and attentive. They kept on checking on us at our table. Parking was easy as there was a parking lot. There were also charging stations for electric cars.

I was here for an event so this was my first visit. I didn't expect the place to be so large or so crowded. The crowd was kind of a disappointment and the parking availability was almost non existent. The staff was super nice and helpful. A downside to this place was waiting in line for way too long to order food and drinks. It moved way too slow because almost every person was given tasters to try, which increased my wait time even more. I liked this place, but it's too crowded for my taste and as someone who doesn't drink alcohol, not worth the drive to Mill Creek.

My girlfriend and I met at this Tapped location for our monthly meet.Free parking can be found in the parking lot. Discover is an accepted form of payment.Indoors is spacious and can easily accommodate large parties. A large, clear refrigerator is at the entrance showcasing a variety of sips to purchase to-go.Table service is minimal, with the majority of orders placed at the counter. Lines can get long at times.During our visit, I slurped on a couple pints of Elani Hazy IPAs for $8 each. My girlfriend had a couple Bale Breaker Fresh Hop Frenz w/ Russian River for $10 each. We shared the Brussel Sprouts for $10.50: bacon, blue cheese, pecan, balsamic glaze. I assumed the Brussels would be roasted; however, the texture indicated that they were the frozen variety instead. Disappointing.We also split the Fried Chicken Sandwich for $15.50: slaw, dill pickle and garlic aioli. We chose fries as our side. While I thought our chicken burger tasted like it had been fried in the same oil as the fish, my girlfriend did not. I did not eat my portion at all due to the overpowering taste of fish.Because I enjoy the Camano Island location, I will give this location another chance at some point. The minimal staff interaction was friendly.Overall, Tapped is trendy, over-priced serving average food.

Recently discovered Tapped and we are so happy with what we found! First of all, I thought you had to drive into Seattle for a beer selection this good. I was blown away by not only the number and variety of good beers on tap, but also in their fridge too. They were very calculated in making sure to have a few of each variety to try which I LOVE - so many places Seattle to Portland just stuff their taps with IPAs which I can't stand. Second, the food was great! Definitely recommend the loaded tots or the street tacos. I haven't had the chance to dig further into the menu, but the chef was sweet enough to come out and chat and there are some Sammie's I need to come back to sample for sure. All their foods and sauces are scratch made in their kitchen, not reheated and frozen crap. All the staff are so kind! Our service was fantastic. The vibe was great too. The place was buzzing but service did not suffer. I noticed there are garage doors that open to a patio, and they mentioned they are pet friendly too. Would love to come back in summer to sit on the patio and enjoy a fresh pint!

Their system for ordering is a little chaotic, especially when they're busy, but Shellene was on top of it all. She was clearly the hardest worker, always with a smile on her face, took her time with us and made us feel welcomed. I would go back again just to see her! The food was good also.
