Lodi Tap House - Maple Park

Love Lodi in Maple Park! If you’re tired of the same old “bar” food this is the place to go! They put their own culinary twist to foods. EVERYTHING is yummy. And they have a great selection of beers. All the bartenders/servers are very friendly, make you feel really welcome. And they’re all quite knowledgeable about their beers. I highly recommend this place instead of the usual hum drum. Shout out to bartenders Stevie, Monica Brittany for all the fun and great beer/food. Always great to see ALL of you! We LOVE being Mug Club Members!

Amazing drinks and best quality food! I was there today with a group of friends and we enjoyed every bit of it. The atmosphere is cozy and our server was a sweetheart

Smashburger soup is everything you want it to be. Staff was professional in the event of being understaffed. Would return if visiting Afton Park again.

Today we hiked ALL of the trails at Starved Rock State Park and upon completion of our trek we were absolutely famished. There was no real plan for how or where to refuel so we looked into the local fare. Lodi Taproom has got to be THE place to serve trail weary patrons. My wife was in dire need of a chicken sandwich, I know this because she expressed this sentiment at our 8 mile mark and just about every 1/2 a mile afterwards so I had to try and deliver. This establishment brought it! Along with house cooked French fries that were remarkable. We didn’t start with our amazing sandwiches though, for starters we had the cheese curds which were expertly fried in pub style batter and sprinkled with fresh green onions and served with a side of (I assume) a chipotle/ mayo secret sauce. We washed that down with ice cold micro brews that they had on tap, which were poured from railroad spike handled taps and listed on an industrial sign winched to the ceiling with a 1500 pound hoist. For my meal, the main reason I am reviewing this place I had a sandwich that changed my expectations of smash burger creations from here forward. It is currently the burger of the month but it should be a staple signature. I don’t often delight in burgers but this was greasy spoon ingenuity and excellence. Toasted bun, smash burger patty, pulled pork, macaroni and cheese and then pub style onion rings. All the ingredients were premium perfection. I cannot express enough how satisfying the meal was. Even if you’re not going hiking and you’re just looking for a great meal a short distance from I-80 this is a place you must stop. Shut the orange front door(after you enter for your feast of course).

Came on a whim one night with my kids. Brittany was absolutely amazing ?. She was getting busy but kept up with being attentive and checking on us. Will become a new go to spot for us.
