“ Great atmosphere, food and staff. My kids and I have been here several times and have had excellent service. Although on September 21, 2024, my youngest son and I had the best experience we've ever had there. Our server, Karina, was over the top outstanding, extremely attentive to our needs, even with several tables inside and outside that she had. She even recommended the loaded grilled cheese, which I had and it was fantastic!! Karina even took the time to talk to my son and me, even though it was obvious that she was busy. Due to continued service like this, we will definitely be back to Uptown Tap again in the future. ”
“ I discovered this excellent spot in Plainfield. We ordered the uptownie nachos, a build-your-own burger topped with a fried egg, and a crispy chicken sandwich. The service was exceptional; the staff was attentive without being intrusive, our orders were taken promptly, and our meals arrived on schedule. The food exceeded our expectations. The nachos were remarkably fresh, with no stale chips, and the avocado crema was so good!! The burgers were juicy and cooked to perfection! They also have local musicians that come to perform, which is worth experiencing. There is a popcorn machine available to you, you can order some and the staff will bring it to your table. So, Indulge in popcorn while enjoying live music. This spot is pretty compact, resulting in close table arrangements that made it necessary to frequently adjust my chair to accommodate passing staff, which was a minor inconvenience but I thoroughly enjoyed my meal here. ”
“ This place is awesome. It is a family friendly place. Great drinks. Great food. Friendly staff. And SINGO It was so fun. ”
“ Service and food was really good price was fare. I guess only little complaints was we had a lot of flies bothering us and maybe a dip sauce could be offered with sweet potatoes fries and onion rings. Very cute place will come again ”
“ This is quite the place. With live music, great food, and amazing service i always love coming here. Uptown has a young / chill vibe and has live music on the weekends that is always good. I’ve been there a handful of times but haven’t written a review till now. I went on Friday during the final 4 games and it was packed. lots of TVs to watch from and drinks were flowing. Servers are always great there and are very attentive . We ordered the boom boom cali flower for an appetizer. One of my absolute favorite starters, really really tasty and doesn’t even taste like you’re eating cauliflower. Pretty good helping size but could be a tiny bit more. For my main meal I always go with the sliders. With a generous portion of 4 they fill you up after about 2. But that’s not even the best part. With the Caramelized onions and toasty bun, this will not disappoint you. Overall great restaurant and food and even better with the live band and TVs . Will come back here all the time since it’s local to me ”
“ One of the best chicken sandwiches I had in a while. 10 put of 10 Coslaw was little bit disappointing dry and needed some seasoning, but overall good food and service ”
“ Great restaurant overall food can take a little while depending on if they’re busy or not, but it’s always worth the wait. You have to try their burger! ”
“ The 1st thing that you are pleasantly greeted with is the great eclectic music at just the precise volume to absorb all elements of the musical piece, the play list greatly satisfied my "polyjamorous" nature for music. In a few words, off the chain musical Playlist. Gracious Bartender Katie warmly greeted me when I first walked in the door Friendly Server Jennifer aptly suggested the Brisket Tacos which were a plentiful tasty standout. Jennifer was pleasantly unobstrutively attentive taking care of all my culinary needs during the course of my meal. It's been a minute since I have been here but I will be sure to return soon. In case you were wondering this is a very children friendly lunch place they are comfortable seated throughout the restaurant as I sit here all smiling and quietly enjoying themselves and the apparently delicious food. ”
