Oak Hill Bar & Grill

I had not been to Oak Hill in years and was enticed by their lunch specials the majority of which are only $7.00. They generally include a meat & two veggies.

I had the grilled chicken with white bbq sauce and it was really solid. The portion was unexpectedly small but I think all of us can agree a small portion might be a good thing every once in a while.

Overall a great meal and a nice causal atmosphere.

I've only been here a few times and it's always been for a late happy hour on a week night.  Each time it has been relaxing, comfortable, and not overly crowded.  The nice female bartender gives prompt table service and we've never had to wait on a drink.  That's all good and dandy, but there's one reason we continue to go back.. the popcorn.  For real, they give you free popcorn.  For them, it keeps you thirsty and drinking.  For you, it keeps you full of delicious popcorn.

Popcorn.

I'm actually surprised by the number of times I've been here. It isn't a bar I would normally go to, but a good friend of mine lived nearby and Oak Hill is really the only bar in the area. So if we decided to go out somewhere and my buddy wanted to stay on his side of the mountain, we had to settle on Oak Hill.

It's not a bad bar, just not exactly my style. It is small and the regulars are on the oldish side. I've been there a few times for lunch and wouldn't say it's anything to write home about, but the shrimp po' boy somehow placed second on a local radio station's "best sandwich" countdown, so maybe others are tasting something I'm not.

I don't recall ever seeing any drink specials or happy hour, but I might be getting there too late. They will periodically have live music (just a guy with an acoustic) and charge an odd 3 dollar cover.

In short, if you live in Homewood, want to stick close to home and are looking for a more subdued atmosphere, Oak Hill is a good idea.
