If I could give this place negative stars I would. Our saga began when we walked in and stood at the front for about 5 minutes, while waitresses and bartenders stared at us, and finally one waitress came to tell us we could seat ourselves. Mind you, they have a sign up that says please wait to be seated. I explained that we had 6 guests and asked if they had any tables that could accommodate us, and the waitress replied yes and began to help us put together three 2 person tables. These tables were very rickety and seemed like they were going to fall apart, as well as them being three different heights. This however, was a very minute detail to us, so we sat down and proceeded to wait for 15 minutes until someone came to take our drink order. Once they finally came it we got our drinks rather quickly, but then proceeded to wait another 20 minutes until our order was taken. Now, mind you, this place was not busy in the least. Upon ordering, 2 members of our party ordered the BBQ and were informed they were out of BBQ. The menu here has 6 items I believe, and I think if you're only offering such a limited amount of dishes then you should have the items there. So, we all ended up ordering chicken tenders and french fries, and one person ordered a sandwich. I believe that we ALL ordered things that could be cooked rather quickly, in a matter of 10-15 minutes, but we did not wait that long. We waited for OVER AN HOUR for our food. Meanwhile, the waitresses, manager, and bartenders sat at the bar conversing, giggling, and EATING food. By the time we got our food, we were NOT happy. We asked the waitress if there was an issue in the kitchen, in which we replied a curt "yes" and proceeded to hand us our food. Finally! We can eat...... or so we thought. The french fries we had ordered were replaced with sweet potato fries without any notice, which no one in our party eats, and another guest and I sent the food back. The waitress was EXTREMELY rude about this and did not ask if we would prefer something else, and when she came back the other guests sent their food back as well. The waitress acted flabbergasted, and we asked to speak to the manager. We informed him of our situation and asked him if he would be so kind to allow us to pay for our drinks and leave, since no one ate their food. We also informed him of the wait, the sweet potato fries, and the chicken that was cold and had a soapy taste. He did not apologize, and brought us our checks with soft drinks on them. Now, I have worked in service and if a guest told me about their experience and it was half as bad as this I would pay for their meal in complete. But no, once again disappointed by the bill, and after another member of our party confronting him about not apologizing, or caring, he informed us he was not the 'real manager' and to just leave. I have NEVER been so disappointed or treated as rudely anywhere. I would NEVER suggest anyone eating there unless you want terrible service, awful food that you wait over an hour for, and a manager who simply did not care about unhappy patrons. I understand that it is a bar, but if you are going for a bar more so than a restaurant then you should simply make the complete move!
Review Source:This is probably one of the bigger bars in Oxford with both an upstairs and downstairs. Â They also often book double bands with one upstairs and one downstairs. Â The have a balcony that is to the side of the square that can be enjoyable. Â It seems they always have a decent sized crowd in here and it certainly is worthy of a visit on a pub crawl around the Oxford Square.
Review Source:Not worth the money. Â The service is TERRIBLE. Â Very slow service, and bad about refilling drinks and paying attention to tables. Â As far as the food, it is bar food trying to be fancy. Â The prices on the dinner entrees are too high. Â Sure it smells great, but the veggies are over cooked, the girts have been sitting out way too long, and the catfish plate only offers 1 fillet (large, but still, only one). Â The wings are OK. Â The bar upstairs is always way to crowded. Â Definitely would not recommend this place for a business dinner or anything of that nature.
Review Source:You must try the Jalapeño cheese grits!!  I had the hot wing sandwich and it was also awesome.  My son had the 1lb hamburger and he cleaned his plate. This is one of the places I will go and eat while in Oxford in a future trip.
My only complaint was the speed of the service. Â It took way to long to get our drinks, place an order, get our food, get our bill, and pay to get to the spring game. Â In a matter of fact, it took a hour and a half--way to long.
I'm giving three stars because of this, not the food. Â I'd give the grits and foods 4 to 5 stars.
THis is a great place to go on crowded foodball weekends for lunch. Â The food is pretty good, on the heavy side, but not as heavy as the place next door. Â Not much option between friend options or heavy cheese and salads. Â I ended up forgoing trying to be healthy and got the shrimp po-boy with raumalade. Â IT was good. Â I also like that they had sweet potato fries.
The service was friendly enough, but very slow. Â We had to ask several times to have our table wiped off because there was sauce from the previous customers. Â
If you get a table by the big french windows you'll be treated to great people watching since you're right on the corner of the square. Â
The bar upstairs is a great venue and it's not usually as crowded as the more popular places. They have a huge side porch with many french doors that make it easy to go in and out for drinks and you can still hear the music if you're outside. Â I like going here on football weekends and listen to southern blues.
If I could, I'd give the restaurant 2 stars and the bar 3.5
I was not impressed with the food here. Quite boring and typical and quite expensive for what it is - glorified bar food. Nothing tastes or looks fresh, just another business warming up prepackaged frozen foods. The beer selection is....meh. Live music would be the only reason to go here, but there is typically a cover. The music is usually what you would expect, typical southern rock or blues with little to no variety. The upstairs is always packed with seemingly underage college students, frat/sorority types who would never be quiet enough for you to hear the music even if you wanted to. The only plus is the outdoor deck. On a nice day during the week when the college crowd is low, it's nice to have a beer outside on the deck. I wouldn't go here any other time.
Review Source:Half rack of immaculately tender, juicy, smokey ribs, plus two sides for $10 bucks. Big portions too. And I eat like a truck driver.
The sweet potato fries were crispy on the shell and lovely soft on the inside. Â
House salad was a snore. Green beans cooked to ensure everything of nutritious value was gone.
The homecoming queen service is noteworthy. Slow, ditzy, but friendly. Our server sadly fit a stereotype but wasn't she a member of a fine looking team...
Great deal if you're up for meat or eye candy. Â Avoid if you're in a hurry, or care about your veggies.
Didn't eat here so no comment on the food, but it smelled pretty good.
The music was great, but the upstairs was absolutely packed with people, making it extremely difficult to get drinks. Â
Part of the reason it was so hard to access a beverage was because the place was littered with underage Ole Miss students. The bartenders were also no good. Â They were too busy fraternizing with each other or chatting with people sitting at the bar to notice the hoard of people trying to throw their money at them from behind the front row.
We had a great time hanging out and enjoying the music. Would be much better if they added a few more tables in the upstairs area and trained their bartenders to actually serve drinks rather than stand there trying to look cool.
