Frisco Taphouse and Brewery Review

Great, huge selection of beers on tap and an interesting menu - I enjoyed the alligator pizza special. Casual atmosphere and good service.

Everytime I have ordered the burrito. Can't go wrong with it. I will say the beer list has declined in variety due to their own brews. Reckless occupied 9 taps, 5 Flying Dog, and 5 Jailbreak. Great to see three taps of nitro!!!

Excellent selection of microbrewery beers. Great food. Fab staff.

The place offers a vast range of delicious food. I enjoyed eating here. Staff members are always helpful, rates are reasonable and the spot is always kept clean.

Amazing food amazing beer selection. The lobster Mac and cheese was..... amazing. The server Will was very friendly.

Excellent bar service. Down to earth feel. Above average food. Huge beer selection.

Have been here quite a few times. Beer selection is great and food is decent. However, thanks to what I assume was the FOH Manager, I won't be coming back. For absolutely no apparent reason, she was overtly condescending/rude in directing our group where to sit, speaking to me as if I were a child. I would have walked out but our group was hungry. Our server was great but unfortunately the night was soured by the manager. If this is how she treats all customers... you may want to think about a replacement.

I have always had a great experience at Frisco Taphouse, I usually get the spicy steak sammich, which is always wonderful. I went today and got the fajita burrito, also amazing. Plus something like a hundred beers on tap and a staff that is extremely knowledgeable about them. Please go here, the deserve your business.

Great selection of beer on tap (40ish) with two Cask options. Decent food. A bit pricey. Friendly staff.

I LOVE this place! Bartenders are so friendly and knowledgeable. Best wings and great food.

Staff know their beer. Ask for a rockfish burrito even though it's not on the menu.

Great selection of craft beer, and the perfect place to watch football. The owner and servers are always friendly.

Pricey but large selection of beers on tap, and house beers are good. Food is great too.

First time visiting Frisco's. The vibe here is very chill and laid back. I'm very glad to see that they are making sure that the patrons are following the 6ft social distancing rule. My colleagues took me here to celebrate my birthday 6/26. I can truly say I had a great time, the food was fresh and the beers "what a selection" too many to pick from but never a bad thing to hammer down and try them all. Give Frisco's a try you wont be disappointed. Loved it!

Lots of selection and friendly staff. The kids pizza is huge for a kids portion. I liked the burger but I preferred my husband's fries to the onion rings that I ordered.

Sat at my table for 20 minutes and was never greeted. Can't tell you how the food was because we left. TIRED OF WAITING FOR SERVICE.

Great spot for any time of day. Came right as they opened. Beers and good were great. I got the cheese steak with the works.

I could not have been happier with the service I received!! Definitely recommend them

Above average beer selection. Higher than average beer prices. Okay atmosphere, but not a relaxing place. Tvs are placed up too high to watch easily.

Fish tacos were scary. Beer selections tilted toward high APV offerings.

This place is a craft brewery drinkers dream and the food matches the selections on beers! I mostly go here for the food but the wait staff and low key ambience keep me coming back!

My favorite place in Columbia :) They NEVER disappoint on food, their servers/bartenders can always make a good drink recommendation based on what you're "feeling" that night, and they've always got great brews on their 50 taps. Plenty of seating choices: bar seating, shared communal seating, dinner seating near the bar, and a separate seating area for a quieter dinner.

Always a good crowd, I've never had a bad night there. The ONLY possible downside is somewhat short parking, but they've provided a complimentary valet for their busiest nights, so I can't even really fault them there.

Love it!

Great selection of beers and excellent knowledge on them from the staff.

Great selection of beers and the food is excellent!

Came here once and got surprised by a big bill, 'never to return.

Met some friends on Saturday evening, great service from John, fast drinks and food

Absolutely wonderful! Amazing service and really good food.

Great, friendly and fast service on a Sunday evening. No wait for seating or drinks. Beer choices are excellent and staff is knowledgeable of the many, over 100 different types on tap. Had a burger and fries, was not disappointed. Their own mix of beef tasted like a burger should and was done perfectly medium as requested.The fries were perfectly seasoned. Our server was extra friendly and attractive, I mean attentive. 10 or of 10 would recommend.

Always a great beer selection. I haven't eaten really a meal here so I cannot speak to that, hence the 4 stars but I would try. The nachos are good.

Great beer list. Awesome, American-type food! Servers are super nice and so are the fellow foodies!

I can't believe I've never reviewed Frisco's. I've been going here since 2013 and, as someone who doesn't like to revisit the same place too often I love coming here. The beer selection is hard to beat, the food has reliably been top quality and consistent, and the staff has always been an awesome blend of professional and genuine while knowledgable about everything.

Very good beer selection. At times. Sometimes they have a pint night with a bad brewery, and 10-15% of the menu becomes a waste. They have their own brewery too, they keep changing the name, I think it's Wreckless right now, at least until the C&D arrives. Anyway... beer prices outside of the mediocre Wreckless selections are pretty high. And what actually makes their prices worse, is they don't advertise the prices. So it's always fun to see your bill at the end of an evening to see how much what you bought was.

Food is passable. Some say it's really bad, but I think it's decent for what it is. This isn't fine dining.

Really great service and beer was amazing. Food wasn't my favorite.

This place is OUTSTANDING! They have the coolest location with motorcycles coming down from the ceiling, original artworks along the walls, and a huge fish tank which is just mesmerizing to stare at. The food is delicious, pre-covid I loved their calamari! The best I've had in any place. Post opening with covid, I love the fire grilled wings and the cheese steak! They keep the place safe with social distancing barriers and the staff is just as wonderful as the food. They greet you like a neighbor as you come in. Huge beer selection, which is always amazing! I will be coming back to this place for many more lunches and dinners!

Huge rotating beer selection with fast unique food. Atmosphere and craft beer selection is great. A little expensive though.

Wonderful beer selection with dependably, delicious food. Calamari is so good.

Service was fast and friendly, but the fries and onion rings tastes old and stale, and the burgers were Very greasy.

beer options are phenomenal... the lamb sliders are fantastic....

Great beer selection, well informed and friendly staff....food is very consistent and good, specials menu is a nice collection of new ideas and interesting items all worth trying....

Beer and service were very good. Great selection of taps and knowledgeable + friendly wait staff. Our crab soup was very salty....To the point that I only had 3 or 4 bites. My husband's crab and chorizo fritters weren't really fritters; more like fried sausage parties with corn. Good flavor, just not as advertised. My arugula and goat cheese salad had 2 small goat cheese balls for a large salad. I asked for more and was charged for them. Overall nice people, but food fell short.

The food is pretty good and the selection of beer is large, but really only if you like IPAs. The beer is overpriced and so is the food. The place is loud and the service is very slow.

The big draw of this place is the beer, but it is a little on the higher price especially compared to places in Ellicott City. Everyone I've dealt with has been friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the beer and the menu.

Good food, casual atmosphere, and a great draft beer selection!

Amazing and lively place with over 50 different beers on tap.. really love this place. Especially on Tuesdays this place is lively and packed..

Had the pretzel and beef burger both were awesome! Also the beer selection is obviously amazing as well. Try this place out!

This place was awesome! More beers on tap than you can imagine (unless you've been to Max's in Fell's Point) and ridiculously amazing food! A little loud for what I was looking for, but nothing that can't be handled after a great beer!

The beer and sliders were excellent. We were perfectly comfortable sitting outside under the tent. It reminded us of Octoberfest!

Love this place! A huge beer selection and good food... and a great atmosphere!

Bartender gave awesome IPA recommendation for a local company the wings were phenomenal and great atmosphere. Definitely going again.

Menu is a little too fancy for me but I guess they have to keep up with all the other junk restaurants out there. I had the Chorizo Burrito. Where's the beef? There might have been a teaspoon.
Beer is way too expensive. Staff is courteous and prompt.
One more thing - EXTREMELY LIMITED PARKING!! You're likely to get towed or ticketed.

Best food that iv had by a bar and it's not even bar it's a brewery. The place it pretty cool. Food is great. Staff seem friendly. Cant really ask for more

Great place. Plenty of beer choices. Really enjoyed it

From DE, We stopped in on our way home from Virginia based on reviews and photos... SO glad we did. Amazing Beer selection and food was GREAT!!! We are very picky because we love to cook AND we LOVE Beer :) Very pleased, we have 3 children who also loved their food. Thanks for the experience, we will be back!!! Our server was Alicia, she was Kind, Patient and Informative, SO HAPPY!!!!!

Appetizers were small for the price, but food, drinks, and atmosphere were good.

Frisco is a unique bar/restaurant in the area. They have a wide variety of domestic and import craft beer (over 50 on tap), including their own brewed in-house. Great food and the atmosphere is almost always pleasant. I appreciate the small things like the aquarium that make the place feel more like home. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. There is additional seating off in a side room that makes this place ideal even for families with smaller children. I'd highly recommend you check it out.

Been coming here for a long time. Great food, beer and service. Also they have ample seating so I ve never had to wait for a table.

Deliciousness in food and beer form! Never disappointed here. Salads and sandwiches are awesome.

Frisco is pricey, and sometimes crowded, but otherwise perfect. An unbelievable selection of beer paired with a menu of diverse and delicious food. I ve been going to Frisco for the better part of the decade and it has remained a great place for lunch, happy hour, or anytime you want a great beer and great food.

I love this place, if you love beer, this is your place.

Used to be one of my favorite watering holes, but really has gone downhill at the new location. While the beer selection is great, the prices are nowhere to be found. What used to be a strength, now it's really hit or miss if the wait staff will know about the beers (my waitress was under 21 last time). They also took my favorite meal, the fajita sandwich, off the menu. I'd now recommend going a little further down Dobbin for your beer fix.

Keith always does it up. I have never had a bad plate of food or a bad beer recommendation. If you are looking for quality service, fair pricing, AND good food...this you're place! Don't forget to also ask about the taphouse rewards they offer. After so many beers, you get stuff...who doesn't love a good rewards program? And all you have to do is drink and try new beer. Highly recommended and they are following social distance protocol but still you don't feel like you are in a plastic bubble. This is a must visit for all newcomers to the area.

Ok food and a little on the pricey side. Waiter was good but overwhelmed. Food took over 30 mins.Got there at 1pm and left at 250pm. We waited a long time between refills, getting the food, and getting the check. Again we had a good waiter but they kept on giving him tables. I blame the management for not jumping in to rescue this guy or doing table touches. Will not make an effort to go back.

Good atmosphere and a decent selection of beer. Some of the food also holds its own.

Always good service. Good food and nice beer selection..

It was very noisy. Food was just bar food. It was alright.went for a happy hour get together but it was so noisy it was hard to hear

This is our favorite place for date night. Awesome beer selection that constantly changes. My husband likes stouts, I like ipas and we are both always happy. We are vegan and their tofu nachos with black beans, pico de gallo & guacamole are better than any Mexican restaurant around. The service is great, and most servers are really helpful with beer selection. We frequent Frisco's about twice a month and the only time I was unhappy was when I forgot to bring home my leftovers!

Great Place-love the staff and service was great! Beers are always good and the food is always delicious. Had some of the best food ever last night-Vietnamese Ciabatta, Wings and Ahi Tuna Sushi special. One of our favorite places.

Food is great. Been here multiple times and every time service has been awesome.. Never had to wait even when packed full

Great place to hang out. Does not skimp on the spirits when beer is not for you.

Wide selection of beer, good food and friendly/helpful staff. Always enjoy going to the taphouse.

This is my second time here they have wonderful staff that are very knowledgeable about the food and drink. They have two wonderful beers on tap that they make themselves and awesome burritos. Great place to stop by for lunch or dinner. Definitely try their hummus it's fabulous.

Big and very good selection of craft beers. And topped off with really good food.
And the service was great too.

Have been here many times for the great beer list and food. Went I August of Covid 19 summer and staff and food up to their normal high standards.

Excellent beer selection, great food and very attentive service!

Excellent selection of beer along with good pub type food and good service.

Friendly staff. Fair prices. Relaxed environment. Lots of beers on tap.

Obviously an extensive beer selection but also great food. One of my go-to restaurants in Columbia.

Place was nice, beers were good. Service and food were not good. Chicken was rubbery and weird. Server told us to use our phones to look up beer list and specials. Didn't come by at all either.

Food menu is creative. Beer selection and staff knowledge of beer is excellent. I love when a bartender knows their beer. Especially a female bartender. The food was very creative and very well prepared. Things are a touch pricey but you would expect that from a Taphouse / Brewery. Most of the items are small plate. But overall an awesome place and I will be back!!

Excellent Brew Pub with genuinely unique variations on popular themes. I an picky and they had a menu full of nice options. Service is aslso great. it's a little loud, but otherwise an excellent experience.

20/10 Friscos is a chill, inviting, comfortable place. Everything you're looking for in a nice bar. There's always something new to try. The food is tops and the service is even better. Brian is an absolute delight, having genuine conversations with another human is surprisingly nice, thank you for always making our experience at Friscos absolutely wonderful. *They better post this on your dang corkboard at your clock in clock or something* . Good dood with good vibes. The lord of the rings (YoU ShAlL NoT PasS) customer throws me off a bit but I'm totally with it. Love yall!!
