The ambience at Elm Street Taproom was quite nice, making it a pleasant place to hang out. However, the food and service left something to be desired. The Kung Pao Cauliflower was pretty bland, and while the cocktails were alright, they didn't stand out.

I ordered the smash burger, expecting the classic thin patty with crispy edges. Instead, I got a regular hamburger. It wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't a smash burger. If you're going to call it that, it should meet the definition.

Service was mediocre. Despite the restaurant not being busy, our waiter was very inattentive. He took a very long time to check in on us and didn't clear our menus, old plates, or glasses when new ones were brought. Overall, the experience was underwhelming, and I hope they can improve both their service and accuracy in the menu descriptions.

I like this place! Amazing selection of beer and their food is good with a wide variety. Not to mention they allow dogs on the outside patio which is pretty rare in Boston 🐶 Their staff was also really friendly and gave us a water bowl. We’ll be back!

Really good burger here! And the place has a bunch of beers on tap. Our waiter was god awful though, never checked on us and messed up our order twice.

Great food and drinks! Everything was delicious, especially the mac smash burger. Definitely a better value than most spots in Davis Square. Service was a bit slow on a Wednesday night, but it was pretty busy. I hear the food used to not be very good here, but they've revamped the menu for sure. Overall a really great spot!

Came in because I had a gift card and hadn't eaten here before. I must say the service was alright. Even sitting at the bar the tenders seemed to be off in the clouds. Anyway the apps we got were good but the thing that got me in the end was the chicken sandwich which was ridiculous because the ratio of the sandwich for what it cost, which was $18 BTW. I dunno man, it should just have been so much bigger and better.

Good ambiance and it’s located in Davis Sq, My Dinner and cocktails drinks were great too.

Delicious spicy margarita! Food and apps look delicious but we just came for drinks.

Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Trivia on Tuesdays and there is a mug club that you can join but it seems like you have to be very committed!

The whole thing was mid at best, the food sounded good but the food was bland. It was sustenance, that’s about all I can say about the food Probably some of the worst fish and chips I’ve had. A long brown log of fish that looks like a dookie is probably the most UNAPPEALING thing I’ve ever seen. The service was also mid at best. My fiancé said her burger reminded her of a Wendy’s burger. The mozzarella sticks tasted fishy(?) and the service wasn’t great either. I’ve definitely have had pieces of plain bread that have been MUCH more flavourful than whatever we ate
