Let's start with the bathroom, this little room has a ton of insight. The Elk Taproom bathroom is brightly lit up and is super clean! Our server was excellent and super friendly! I had the Taproom Burger with fries and a Blue Moon. The burger was hot and fresh, the fries were just right. Oh and my Blue Moon draft was just the right amount of cold with a fresh orange slice. My wife had the French Dip with fries. She enjoyed it and we both really liked the side of horseradish, I loved it on my fries. The location is easy to access and compliments the quaint town of Fayetteville.

Had the double burger, added lettuce, tomato. It tasted fresh,juicy with actual flavor. A lot better than Honey's and I've been eating there for 50yrs. The friendly and polite young high school age girl with the ponytail was super cute. Will be back to try Cobb salad

I've been here with family twice and we all enjoyed it both times, particularly the burger and french dip meals. Elk Taproom is a great addition to Fayetteville (would pair well with a movie at Lincoln Theatre) or for those in the northern half of Madison County by the state line. Just a short drive into Tennessee.

Fastest service ever! Very friendly staff. Beautiful restaurant (decor, etc). DELICIOUS food which is mostly homemade (and they use local beef). Seems like the menu changes relatively frequently which is exciting. Small menu which is great as it allows them to focus on and perfect what’s being made that day. Excited to go again! Real maple syrup that comes in the cutest jar! New fave place in town!
