Reviews
Unfortunately, both sandwiches were bland and unseasoned—the meats tasted like they were just boiled and dropped on a bun. No veggies, cheese, or garnish—just plain meat and bread. To make it worse, the bottom bun was soggy and fell apart when I tried to lift the sandwich.
For the price, I expected much better. It honestly felt like a rip-off.
Only reason I’m giving 1 star instead of none is for the ambiance—great indoor and outdoor seating. But I won’t be back.
We really enjoyed bellying up to the bar to grab our grub (and what freaking great grub it was) while also having fun talking with the bartenders, servers, and owner. The food, atmosphere, and overall experience at Oak has served as one of our more enjoyable experiences in Telluride.
Fingers crossed the space does not get re-vamped into some swank wine bar – or really, anything else – as word-on-the-street suggests! We didn’t discover an abundance of places in the mountain village or Telluride that struck the same combination of laid-back environment, attentive yet relaxed service, and really good food.
As I said the food was good. I got a half rack of ribs and a side of red beans and rice. For dessert, a slice of pecan pie. The ribs could have used a rub prior to being cooked and sauced, I think the rub would have added a bit of missing spice that the sauce didn’t have. I did like the hearty pieces of peppers and onions in the sauce, though. Red beans and rice, again, need some seasoning. This is supposed to be a southern-inspired restaurant. The hot sauce on the table added what the red beans and rice were lacking. The pecan pie was properly warmed in an oven (evident by some slight crust blackening), served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was a good finish to the meal.
If you don’t mind being left alone by servers at a full-service establishment, this place may be your cup of tea. While food is really nothing spectacular, it was still good.
Macaroni and cheese came with dried penne pasta with slim amount of cheese at the bottom with no flavor. waste of almost 60 dollars. Go eat somewhere else.
