    Very good food and drinks. Service was fantastic...food came out quickly which we appreciated since we had a show to get to. Atmosphere was fun. We loved our mac & cheese and burger and watching other platters coming out I might have to head back to try this place again.

    This was our 2nd time eating at Oak Barrel. We arrived on time for our reservation. The hostess was not friendly nor did she address us when we walked in. The first table she took us to was in the sun which could cause my husband to get a migraine, so we asked if there was another table please. The next table she was going to take us to was the only table in the main walkway. It stuck out and was clearly an afterthought to get more table space. We didn’t want that spot either and asked her very nicely to find us another table. I told her I appreciated her hard work on trying to find us a table. The last table she took us to was upstairs overlooking the main floor. The lightbulb above our table was out, it was so dark that we had to use our phones to see the menu. Our waitress was amazing, attentive and very friendly. The food was delicious and the cheese curds were the size of chicken nuggets. The best ever!

    We had reservations for 8 including 2- toddlers. We were seated at the very top 3rd floor area and were the only ones. That was ok for noise but it took a long while for our food and it came in 2 shifts with about 15 minutes or so between so half people were done eating and other half not yet started. Food was barely warm. It was just ok. The waitress was good at first seating us and getting first drinks. Probably would not return. We were disappointed.

    The service was great! We arrived later than our reservation and they still honored it. It was busy because of the Bucks game but we were seated right away. The food was filling and good. Our waitress was efficient, pleasant and attentive.

    Food was just ok - kind of messy and lacked some flavor. Seemed a bit understaffed since our requests were met by several different people than our original waitress.

    Of what we ordered, the bone in wings were good as were the brussel sprouts. However, while the smash burgers had good flavor, they were very small; the chicken breast in the chicken sandwich was very dry. Our server was great and very attentive, we may go back and try the pizza as it looked good.
