I see a lot of bad reviews here and I don't understand them because I have had nothing but good food/svc here. Haven't been in a while thought. I've done their monday night BBQ and it was decently priced and the food was good. We've also stopped in for beer and apps which have been fine. The Chilli has always been great. I like it here, might have to check it out again soon to see if it has changed.
Review Source:This place was ok. The waitress was overwhelmed and working way too many tables- so she was slightly off her game.
I had a chicken caesar wrap- and now, I'm not delirious, I know this isn't bar food, but how hard is it to mess up a chicken caesar salad, wrapped in a tortilla rollup? Apparently kind of difficult. There was barely any caesar dressing, and there was no cheese? What kind of establishment is this, where they leave out the most important part of any sandwich? The cheese!
Other than that, I can't really comment. It was ok- but I can wager I'll never go back again.
Stopped in for dinner tonight. Lets see where do I begin? The place is dirty, the hot water is shut off in the restrooms, my wife said there was blood all over the toilet in the ladies room, we waited forever just to be acknowledged. They have popcorn you can serve yourself. All of the baskets are dirty, they just put them back after people have been eating out of them. No scoop you just dig in with dirty basket and your dirty hands that were not washed properly with the ice water in the rest room. My wife got fish and chips. Fish not bad the fries are the commercial battered type, nothing great cole slaw was good. I got clams and scallops. The scallops were tiny and over cooked, dry and rubbery, the clams actually looked and tasted as if they were beyond spoiled the neck was a very dark brown color and they were shriveled up. I was appalled,. Our waitress came back when everyone was done, I did not touch my food, it was the worst food I have ever been served anywhere. It should never have left the kitchen . She said oh I will take that off the bill. I asked to speak to the manager or owner but they never came out. This place is filthy and a health hazard to the patrons.
Review Source:Used to love coming here years ago.  It seems the last 3 years it's really gone down  hill.  It seem that the owner/managment just doesn't care anymore....and it shows!!  First off the food.  The barbecue used to be spot on.  It is not the case anymore.  I had ribs and my husband had the pulled pork both had little flavor and seemed old like it had been sitting in a fridge for a week and they heated it up before the served it to us.  Weak.  Second off the staff seemed like they could care less about being there.  They all walk around with frowns on there faces.  Finally my husband went to use the men's room, he ran out immediately after entering he said the smell of urine was so bad he could not stand using it.  They always say judge a restaurant by the cleanliness of the bathroom....well Oak Hill I'd hate to see your kitchen!!! Will not be returning.
Review Source:We stopped by for a late lunch over the weekend. Â Started off with tasty free popcorn (hard to mess that up), but sadly that was the hilight of the meal. Â We shared a bunch of appetizers; grilled pizza which was limp and soggy, chicken tenders which were cooked to death, fries that were fine, a mug of chili and stuffie were both just average. Â Service was a bit slow, drinks went unfilled despite the place being rather empty. Â The other odd thing was for a biker bar there was no music playing? Â Very quet inside at least mid-afternoon when we went. Â Prices were good, inside looked really fun, but I doubt we would return to eat.
Review Source:When you consider this place for what it is, a local bar masquerading as a BBQ joint, I don't know how you can give it less than 3 or 4 stars. How do I rate a local bar? Local bands, music, beer selection, pub food options and friendly bartenders.This place ticks all the boxes, plus they have free peanuts and popcorn, and some decent BBQ.
I've tried the baby back ribs, and they had a beautiful pink color from all of the smoke. Delicious. My fiancee tried the Turkey burger, and to her delight, it was just as moist as a nice beef burger. I can't really speak to any of the other food yet, but in terms of pub grub, this place hits the spot. Their beer menu is decent too - not a ton on tap, mostly domestics (5 or 6), but they have a good bottle list to supplement that meager offering.
They also do beer dinners here every once in a while so it's certainly worth checking those out. Anytime a brewery comes in to pair foods with beers, it's a good time in my book!
How could they improve? Be within walking distance of me, and add more draughts!
A dive-pub. Oak Hill Tavern is the epitome of local spot. Having lived down the street for a few months, I was intrigued by this grungy little joint.
The inside is pretty big with lots of seating. It is DARK...no matter what time of day you go in.
Free popcorn and peanuts. And you can throw the shells on the floor!
I did not really think that this place was much more than a bar, and that is semi-true. They have food, but nothing I would write home about, not even in an email.
Great for getting drinks, not a place I would go to for a meal.
ENTERTAINMENT - 8/10 - Many high quality flat screen TVs. Family told me that they have good live music.
FOOD - 6.5/10 for bar food.
Appetizers - Buffalo Wings, Mini Corn Dogs are excellent (only 25 cents on Wednesday).
Entree - Ribs are huge and looked delicious, the Philly Steak Sandwich needed some more flavor, and the burger per my brother was good. The fish and chips looked good as well.
SERVICE - 6/10
Good - The waitress seemed tired or maybe just doesn't like people, but she got the order 99.9% correct. (she did not get me a side of ranch that I asked for twice).
COMMENTS -
Great dive bar with free peanuts and popcorn. If you feel like a loud place to watch a game and eat good wings on a Wednesday, this place is for you.
Too bad I couldn't give it more like 2.5 stars. Â Only been here once and it was on a recommendation from someone at another restaurant. Â They have a reasonable selection on the menu, and I had to try their pulled pork & bbq chicken plate when I went there. Â They have a number of extras on the table - one I remember was the A1 sauce. Â No bbq sauce available?? Â
The pulled pork was pretty dry but I just used some of the extra bbq off the chicken to flavor it. Â Compared to other places named TAVERN, this is heavy on tavern and less so on dining. Â The atmosphere isn't that bad but the food experience doesn't merit a second visit. Â It's enough of a menu to take the kids out for a Sunday afternoon but don't make a special trip there. Â You could do better. So could they.
