Elm Street Taproom - Somerville

Everything was very nice except the drinks. My friends all said the drinks were very weak and asked the bartender for a side shot of vodka. my drink was fine) Very cute place our waiter was very nice.

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.

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.

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!

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!
