Wood-n-Tap Bar & Grill- Hartford

The best burger. So good. I'm thrilled this place was recommended. The service was great. The food was spectacular. Parking across the street. Highly recommend.

Valentine's Day Love/Appreciation post- This is the OG location for the Wood-n-Tap. I was there when it first opened and am still going today. They have remodeled and it is better than ever! There are also two parking lots now. So much easier to find parking. Always a spot!

What is my go to when it comes to W-n-T? First off the Nachos- (aka the Monster Nachos). They are really my favorite in all the land. A huge mound of chips, cheese and deliciousness! This is and will always be a go to!

Next up- love the Thai Noodle Salad with Chicken. Light and refreshing. A third favorite would be the Bison Burger. It's so good there.

You also can not go wrong with the Softies, the Point Judith Calamari and the Tap Room Fries! Classics.

Definitely stop by and check out their new design and if you have a large party- don't hesitate to book the back room party area. It is perfect for all celebrations and birthday parties!

Now, let's go get some nachos! :)

It was a Sunday afternoon around 230p, it took a while to be seated since there was no host(ess). Eventually our server Ben came and told us to sit wherever we wanted and he will be right with us.
He was super nice and friendly. We saw people come and wait and ended up turning back around bec of the no host/hostess situation.

Anyway, I ordered the calamari and it came out so fast! The calamari was pretty good, pretty thickly cut though. Wished there were more of the tentacle pieces but it was yummy!

Then we ordered hickory bbq burger and the bleu cheese one. Both were pretty good. They give you a lot of the sides so we were too full for dessert:
My niece had chicken tenders and fries and pretty much inhaled it.

The strawberry lemonade was super sweet, had to ask for a glass of water to water it down a bit, but that's everywhere. It was dull good.

Place looks great!

Came for drinks with friends and continue to be impressed with everything about the newly renovated Wood N Tap in Hartford. From the expanded parking, to the beautiful decor to the great menu. Our server was funny and attentive. WNT has a great mule menu, with lots of variety. I ordered the prickly pear mule which is made of prickly pear vodka, pear puree, lime and ginger beer. Delicious! Also ordered the thai wings - these were some of the best wings I've ever had because they were crispy and flavorful. The thai sauce is an afterthought, though, because the crunchy consistency of the wings was so amazing. The nachos were ok to me, but the rest of my group seemed to enjoy them. I will definitely come back and bring friends because this was a great place to gather and catch up!

3.5 stars.

Atlantic salmon was decent. Got broccoli and tater tots as sides. The broccoli was excellent, covered in butter. The tots were great too, very crispy and I think parmesan crusted. Only complaint is there was no sauce, and the salmon was too dry to eat on its own so I had to add my own sauce from home.

The fried chicken sandwich fine. The breading was a bit unusual, coming apart from the meat. The chicken was well cooked. The fries were pretty standard, no complaints.

I recently visited the Hartford Wood-n-Tap to try their limited-time retro menu, which I think is such a fun way for the restaurant to celebrate their 20th anniversary. Everything we had was delicious, especially the crab dip and tap room fries!! The prices were brought back to what they originally were in 2002, so you really can't beat them. Though it was a bit noisy due to being off a main road, the patio was beautiful with the flowers they had out, and I appreciated the parking lot across the street!

The food I had was well prepared and delicious. I can't speak for service or ambience since I used a delivery service.

I haven't been to the Hartford location since before the pandemic but decided to stop in after seeing a show at the Bushnell Sunday afternoon. I AM SO GLAD I DID!!!! I got to meet a new addition to the Htfd staff, Leslie/bartender, and she did me right w/the Strawberry Coconut martini. Since it's March I knew they'd have the loaded baked potato soup & Reuben egg rolls. It was as good as when I tasted them the first time years ago and I will never stop giving them praise. I did get something I never got before, the Tiki Sangria, and was GREAT (Thanks again Leslie)!!!! Connor, who is also new to the Htfd staff but not new to Wood N Tap, suggested the Irish Cream Chocolate cake. It was heaven in my mouth!!!! I left feeling like I was back home and I'm glad I decided to stop in.

Food was decent
Philip, our server was inattentive.
We didn't get our waters, he forgot about our drinks, brought our to go salad out to us before we even had our dinner on the table (did he expect the salad to remain fresh on the table in a container for the 1 1/2 hours we were there?)
1 star  evening at this location

the hickory burger was a 7.5/10. the hamburger itself lacked seasoning and taste. the sauce that comes on it is very flavorful and tangy, fries were okay they were starchy. let's get to the CAESAR SALAD THO  10/10 best caesar dressing i've ever had it's so thick and spreads evenly and it went well with the croutons
