Valley Tap House
The Tap House specializes in Baltimore Style Pit Meat. This preparation involves rubbing a high-quality piece of meat with a special housemade spice mixture and allowing it to marinate for three days. The meat is then seared on a specially installed pit grill which chars the outside and cooks it juicy and tender on the inside. Finally it is sliced paper thin and served on a kaiser roll. A variety of meats are pit grilled in this fashion and served according to your desires. Popular choices include the Pit Beef served with raw onions and homemade horseradish sauce or the Pit Ham served with swiss cheese, grilled peppers, onions and a homemade honey dijon sauce. Additionally, a diner can choose from a menu including gourmet hamburgers, home baked pretzels, ale steamed mussels, shells & cheese, parm crusted halibut, and a full selection of desserts. Vegetarian options are available and our staff would be happy to accommodate dietary needs.

"It's an ok place but if we didn't have the discount certificate, it wouldn't have been worth it."

"The cole slaw was too spicey - not what I was expecting. I only ate half of it and I paid an extra $1.98 to sub it for fries - that was a downer!"

"Tasty pit beef in a warm, casual setting. Be careful that they actually check you in...twice they have marked me as a no-show from OpenTable when I've gone there for lunch."
