Great atmosphere, delicious food and a great beer selection. The calamari with ginger mignonette was fantastic! Flatbreads were also yummy.

We had lunch here on the second day of our visit on the recommendation of our daughter´s partner. There were five of us and we must have enjoyed the experience as we returned 3 weeks later. The food was excellent, the service very friendly and...competent and the music was at the perfect level to allow conversation.More

Had a portobello mushroom sandwich with fries. It was a very good sandwich. I didn’t eat the bun; calories saved so I could eat those delicious French fries. I asked that they be cooked extra crisp and they did not disappoint!

We actually went here for takeout and the food was good. It took kind of long to get the food, but it was OK for us since we weren't in a hurry, but surprised it took so long. Although we were doing take-out, we did...notice that they had a variety of eating options. While the inside was open, they still had the outside tents available. So, this could be a good option for dining in or take-out (don't be in a hurry though). The prices were kind of high, and for the first time EVER, I was charged ($2) for a take-out box. OK, $2 isn't much, but it sure seemed cheap to charge for a take-out box, particularly at those prices.More

We stopped by for a quick lunch and sat outside. The food was fresh and tasty - the mussels were really excellent, the beer was great and the atmosphere fun.

We ate here for lunch with our family of seven, and everyone found something to eat that they enjoyed. The outside seating on the patio didn't offer much of a view, but none the less the food and service was quite good. It's worth a...stop here to check it out! We aren't local, but if you are it could become your go-to spot.More

West End Tap and Kitchen is located a little off the beaten track in a building that is easy to miss unless you have been there before. We had a short wait for an outdoor table. Service was professional and responsive. Menu selections are diverse...and interesting. Everything we had was well-prepared and enjoyable. Especially popular with our family were the olives.More

This is in a cool, artisan industrial area. Good vibe, great tasting food. Get the house pickles if you like that sort of thing as a pre-meal appetizer. FYI the chicken salad could feed a whole family it's so large. My husband and I split...it but couldn't finish it. Very friendly to dogs.More

Spent the day in Santa Cruz eating rich food and I really wanted a salad for dinner. This place delivered. I LOVED the Roasted Acorn Squash Salad with Mizuna (sp?) lettuce, goat cheese, pomegranate seeds and pepitas and pumpkin dressing. OMG it hit the spot....Really good portion with lots of lettuce. AND, my husband being a guy, had to have more rich stuff so he got the ham and brie sandwich. It looked amazing with the brie oozing out of the bread. Great place, fast service.More

A cute place for watching a football game and dining on a burger and a salad. I opted for the salad with salmon on top. It was delicious and creatively presented. A nice IPA rounded out the meal.

They accommodated our party of 3badults and two very young children after a short wait. The staff were all exceptionally friendly and helpful. Our burgers were tasty and filling, just not exceptional.

We went as a family, went twice in our two nights in SC given it was so good, the beer selection is really good, a lot of variety and high in quality. We loved the burger too (not mad on the chips/fries). the service was...really impressive, just the right balance of attentive and fast without feeling rushed Would not hesitate to go backMore
