Oak Barrel Tavern

I called recently at about 430 for reservations at 530 and the young woman who handled the call indicated that wouldn’t be necessary as they weren’t that busy. Ok, but reservations are reassuring to know we don’t have to wait. Also, a missed opportunity to get our phone and/or email for marketing purposes. When we arrived we asked for a quiet tablet as there was a very large party up front creating a good amount of convivial noise. The corner table we were assigned was right under a ceiling vent which felt like a cold shower. So we moved. The new table came with some dried leftover food or beverage that defied the cleaning process. Our waitress came by to take our order. She was disinterested at best and made no effort to connect or support/facilitate our choices. I ordered the Ter

I ordered takeout, their fish dinner and their burger was not disappointed. The food was excellent and plenty of it. I did walk in to pick up our order and the place is just beautiful. I’ve already planned to return with some friends in a week to have dinner. Hostess was very friendly couldn’t have asked for anything better one of the best fish dinners I’ve had in a long time. Thank you to the kitchen staff!

We ate here mid-afternoon. The place is bright and has a really nice set up, not much atmosphere but it was only 1:30pm. We were seated near the partially open kitchen, but surprisingly left without that "restaurant smell" on our clothes. Our server Wayne came to our table within minutes of walking in, which we appreciated. He was super chill and really nice and we both noticed that right away. We started with the fried pickles and cherry peppers and they had a nice zing to them. I had the Left Coast burger which was cooked perfectly to my medium rare request, my wife had the fried chicken sandwich, which had a generous portion of chicken, but she thought was very dry. The regular and sweet potato tots were good, you could really taste the difference between them and the onion rings were a

Just popped in for a quick bite. I sat at the bar and had Poe take care of me. He’s the reason I’m taking the time to write this review. 11 out of 10 for service. Vibe was great and so was the food. Got the wings with two different sauces along with the Cajun shrimp. I’ll have to come back and dive into the entrees but the wings were cooked to perfection.

Food was average. Extra dry chicken in the chicken sandwich. Beets in the beet salad were from a can and the waffle fries were fried in bitter oil that needed to be swapped out earlier. The onion soup and grilled shrimp were bland. The atmosphere was cozy. Service was very friendly and quick. Overall, it's not a bad place to go to, but don't expect greatness from the food itself.
