    It’s a typical bar with bar food. Fun atmosphere. We had a pepperoni pizza and French onion soup. I would rate 3 out of 5.

    Went to the 90s party. Kind of a let down. They sat us at a small table even though there was like 30 open tables. When we asked if we can sit at a 4 too we were told no because they were all reserved. One other couple came while we were there. Their 90s party consisted of I love the 90s napkins and a set menu that was just their regular menu with changed 90 themed names. Food was meh. Not worth $18 for a breakfast burrito. Oh well. Won’t be returning

    Cheese curds were amazing. They accommodated a large group of 12 people on a Friday night and the service was great! Food and drinks came quick and everything tasted delicious.

    We loved Oak Barrel! We were in town for the Alan Jackson concert and had dinner with friends before the concert! Maggie was our server and she was amazing!!!! Great personality, service and sense of humor. She did a fabulous job! Food was off the hook. We really enjoyed everything about our experience. Hope to get back there again sometime soon!

    LOVED the signature burger. Seated immediately. Food was fast. A little tight next to another table for conversation. Nice waitress. Reasonable bill, drinks were high.

    This was a post college graduation dinner. Everything about this place was perfect! Food was so good. Pricey yes but worth it!! Without asking, the server brought my daughter a piece of cake with a candle in it and a glass of champagne after dinner! So very thoughtful and kind. It was a wonderful place to celebrate!!
