What We Ordered: A Little Bit of Everything

We went all in with a variety of dishes—and honestly, each one was a hit in its own way.

🥒 Fried Pickles

Let’s start with a surprise standout: the fried pickles. These weren’t your average snack—very spicy, full of flavor, and perfectly crispy. If you like heat, you’ll love them. A great starter to fire up your appetite.

🍗 Korean BBQ Chicken

Juicy, tangy, and just a touch of sweet—these wings brought big flavor. The Korean BBQ glaze was sticky in the best way, with that addictive umami kick.

🍔 The #1 Popular Wagyu Burger with Truffle Fries

It’s not called #1 for nothing. The Wagyu burger was indulgent, rich, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Topped with just the right balance of cheese and house-made sauces, it lived up to the hype. The truffle fries on the side? Decadent and aromatic—definitely worth the upgrade.

🍟 Texan Burger Queso Fries

Fries. Queso. Burger. Need we say more? This dish was a cheesy, savory dream. Loaded but not soggy, it’s a comfort food favorite that pairs perfectly with a milkshake (more on that in a minute).

🍪🥤 Cookies and Cream Milkshake – The Star of the Show

Without a doubt, the Cookies and Cream Milkshake stole the spotlight. It’s what Black Tap is famous for, and it did not disappoint. Piled high with whipped cream, cookie crumbles, and a whole Oreo on top, it was both a dessert and a spectacle. Rich, creamy, and 100% worth the sugar rush.

🍰 The New Yorker Cheesecake

We capped the night with the New Yorker Cheesecake, a classic done right. Smooth, velvety, and just the right amount of sweet—it was a nice way to wind down after a meal full of bold flavors.
