I called recently at about 430 for reservations at 530 and the young woman who handled the call indicated that wouldn’t be necessary as they weren’t that busy. Ok, but reservations are reassuring to know we don’t have to wait. Also, a missed opportunity to get our phone and/or email for marketing purposes.
When we arrived we asked for a quiet tablet as there was a very large party up front creating a good amount of convivial noise. The corner table we were assigned was right under a ceiling vent which felt like a cold shower. So we moved. The new table came with some dried leftover food or beverage that defied the cleaning process.
Our waitress came by to take our order. She was disinterested at best and made no effort to connect or support/facilitate our choices.
I ordered the Teriyaki Chicken … “two boneless breasts marinated in teriyaki sauce with mixed veggies and rice.” It was inedible. If those breasts were ever marinated in anything it was days ago: they were bone dry and very tough…hard to even cut.
At best some store-bought teriyaki sauce was added at the last minute.
The accompanying rice was room temp at best …cold at worst.
The whole meal was obviously slapped down on the plate without any thought of a respectable presentation.
Our waitress tossed a to-go box on the table for my half-eaten meal … along with the check. Never heard the standard “is everything to your liking” check in from her. My guess is she knew better than to ask. A “thank you for coming” would have been well received. The front desk hostess mumbled something to that effect. Sorry to interrupt your scrolling.
The sad fact is: Mediocrity in many casual restaurants seems to be the modern de rigueur. In that regard OBT truly excelled.
The owner needs to read “Unreasonable Hospitality” and take some of its outstanding lessons to heart.

I ordered takeout, their fish dinner and their burger was not disappointed. The food was excellent and plenty of it. I did walk in to pick up our order and the place is just beautiful. I’ve already planned to return with some friends in a week to have dinner. Hostess was very friendly couldn’t have asked for anything better one of the best fish dinners I’ve had in a long time. Thank you to the kitchen staff!

We ate here mid-afternoon. The place is bright and has a really nice set up, not much atmosphere but it was only 1:30pm. We were seated near the partially open kitchen, but surprisingly left without that “restaurant smell” on our clothes. Our server Wayne came to our table within minutes of walking in, which we appreciated. He was super chill and really nice and we both noticed that right away. We started with the fried pickles and cherry peppers and they had a nice zing to them. I had the Left Coast burger which was cooked perfectly to my medium rare request, my wife had the fried chicken sandwich, which had a generous portion of chicken, but she thought was very dry. The regular and sweet potato tots were good, you could really taste the difference between them and the onion rings were also great. The cocktails, (we had the jalapeno mule), were well made- not overly sweet or too strong. The cocktails, app and main came out quickly. We would like to check it out on a busy night for the atmosphere. Overall I would recommend this place.

Just popped in for a quick bite. I sat at the bar and had Poe take care of me. He’s the reason I’m taking the time to write this review. 11 out of 10 for service. Vibe was great and so was the food. Got the wings with two different sauces along with the Cajun shrimp. I’ll have to come back and dive into the entrees but the wings were cooked to perfection.

Food was average. Extra dry chicken in the chicken sandwich. Beets in the beet salad were from a can and the waffle fries were fried in bitter oil that needed to be swapped out earlier. The onion soup and grilled shrimp were bland. The atmosphere was cozy. Service was very friendly and quick. Overall, it’s not a bad place to go to, but don’t expect greatness from the food itself.

I really liked oak barrel. We have had takeout many times in the past 3 years, but i had never eaten there. Newer decor. High celiings. Bar and separate restaurant area. We had burger and salad, both were fine, and very reasonably priced. Friendly and efficient waiter. Would happily return.

Food not the best honestly bad first experience here’s a pic of my dessert but the thing on the top that makes it all look nice and pretty tastes like chupitos caca I had to spit it out. Took a nice pic because it looked good. Idk what it was but the ice cream was the only good part about it not worth the money it costs idk how this places makes there money but idk I just had to leave a review

I am deeply saddened to write this. I’ve been a loyal regular here since finding them in August, 2025, visiting twice a week and consistently tipping upward of 30%+ because I value this staff, the value, quality and price of the food and the overall experience has been excellent.
Unfortunately, my recent experience was a ‘hospitality’ failure that has made me rethink my support. Since January, 2026, the business has dropped off and the staff response is to close early and to rush customers out as fast as possible. When we arrived, the back dining room, where we usually sit, was in darkness and we asked if they were closing early and if we should come back another time. We were told it was fine and we could sit in our usual area, but we said we didn’t want to be any bother and suggested the one open high top in the bar.
They are only open from 4 PM to 9 PM and we were seated 7:50PM, well before the 9 PM close. It was cold and a bit snowy outside, so we ate fast and were waiting for staff to leave. We were ignored and left waiting for a take home box and the bill, because the staff was focused on cleaning and doing sidework. They took our order at 8:12 PM and didn’t present the final bill until 9:03 PM. At 9:14 PM—just 11 minutes after the check arrived—they cranked the house lights to full brightness and killed the music to force us out. We had paid and were putting out coats on and there was only one other party of 2 in the whole place. It was beyond rude and seemed hostile and unnecessary.
It is poor form to use ‘closing cues’ on guests when the delay was entirely created by the restaurant’s own neglect and we were in the process of leaving and so were the other two people in the place.
When we raised this with the night manager, she was dismissive; stating it was ‘policy’ to think of the staff and the lights had to go up at 9:14 PM. When I told her it wasn’t a nice way to treat loyal customers who spend a lot of time and money at the restaurant, she became defensive about her personality rather than addressing the service breakdown, implying I had said she wasn’t nice. When I had said if she thought it was okay to treat people in the manner she had, she wasn’t very nice. She even told me she was ‘fine’ with me escalating this to the owner, as if we had been wrong to say something.
As a customer who has been a dedicated supporter of this business, being treated like an inconvenience was a slap in the face and unreasonable in a situation that could have been solved with an apology. I won’t be returning to spend my money where the cleaning schedule and leaving early is more important than the guests and keeping the business, especially during down times like January.

What an awful experience. Got the baby back ribs and steak tips last night. Although there was some issues with the order, not a big deal honestly. (Sent the wrong fries) However, the food was atrocious. Steak tips cooked wrong and dry. Leather belt texture. Ribs were literally worst I have ever had. Clearly boiled and then put under a roaster. Fries soggy and icy cold, despite me living 5 minutes away and getting there before food done. Even though I ordered this meal 25 minutes before closing, there is no excuse for a $57.00 waste of money this bad.

The potato nachos and buffalo cawliflower apetizer are a must. The BBQ burger is great and goes very well with the sweet potato totes. Overall food is good. Service was ok. The location is great.
