Service has gone down hill. Bar no longer serves pitchers. Bartender was very rude despite not much service and would not pour me a beer without answering 20 questions. read more

H-B Saloon - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Oakdale, California

We stopped here for lunch last Friday after my friend ran a quick work errand in Oakdale. It's a historic bar from the fifties, so it was dark and dated. At first, we did not feel welcome, maybe because we're not regulars. No one was rude, just dismissive. My friend and I had patty melts with fries and a cup of bean soup. I don't think I've ever complained about patty melts. It was perfect. The fries were fresh and crispy too. The bean soup was okay, about a 7/10. Our server perked up and was so friendly by the end of our lunch. We loved hearing stories about the place and some of the history. It was heartwarming, and we love seeing family businesses succeed and the next generation take over. When our server asked if we liked clam chowder, we said yes, so she quickly returned to let us try a sample. This was the best clam chowder we've had, even better than Sam's Chowder House in HMB! A 20/10. It was so creamy, with big chunks of tender clam. We ended up ordering more to go. My husband was also impressed when he tried some for dinner. I finished it two days later, and it was still amazing! read more

ALWAYS friendly. I don't see how Bo (bartender etc.) puts up with all the inebriated (by the end of a night) customers. He and Emily are so patient and are ALWAYS there to treat each patron like a continuous friend. Oh and BTW; the food from the kitchen is AWESOME read more

We just had dinner here for the first time. (Had their catering and lunch several times. Been here to drink MANY times.) I was extremely pleased with my ribeye dinner. It was soft as butter, super tasty and cooked to perfection. I can't explain just how perfect the flavor of the steak was. It was everything you want from a quality dinner. My husband was shocked by the price. The meal we had should've cost us $80 but instead was just about $55 with tip. Soup, salad, two sides and the most amazing steak you will eat for just $20. Side note the homemade soup and mashed potatoes were just as good. This is a place we need to visit for dinner more often. read more

H-B Saloon - Menu - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Oakdale, California

As others have mentioned you don't really get a welcome here from the guy bartender (maybe owner?) as first timers, we got a good looking over. I got 2 beers in bottles and I then asked for 2 glasses. Apparently this amused the aforementioned barkeep. My wife and I wanted a change of scenery so we drove to H-B from Manteca. Sure, it's old and quaint and maybe the food is good. I had a burger that was very tasty but the praise the clam chowder I saw on some reviews is surprising. It was watery and not many clams in there. Just tasted like cream. The young lady waitress took over for our food order and more drinks and she was pleasant. Since then we have mentioned to our friends about our visit and they all seemed to say they don't like newbies at H-B ! First visit and probably won't go back. read more

Surprisingly the H-B probably has the best clam chowder in Northern California! If you know you know.

I was an extra large grilled ribeye fan (still am), until i tried their prime rib .... you'd better be hungry !!

Such places as this are getting harder to find. Authentic, value, cold beer, good food, juke box and nasty restrooms. And cash only. That's good since covid lives on credit cards. If you are poor, save up. Thirsty? Come on in. read more

Great service, and amazing food and drinks for a great price. Highly recommend! Perfect little cow town restaurant.

First of all I didn't order an alcoholic drink. I was visiting the "Cowboy Museum" next door and wanted to get something to eat. Why five stars? I had the best hamburger I have ever eaten - and I have eaten many. They are char-broiled but unlike anything I have eaten before. They make everything from scratch. The onion soup was about as good as it gets. Only problem is that the more you eat the more you want to eat. Great food. Service was good as well. I met the owner and the chef. Both became instant friends. I spent a lot of time with the chef. A man of worldly travels. Originally from England and has been in other places in Europe. I have been coming to Oakdale for six years and it took a visit to the nearby Cowboy Museum to find and enjoy this place. Oakdale has a lot of interesting history, and has regularly scheduled events throughout the year. I highly recommend having a meal here. My only regret is that I have missed out on having my past meals here. That won't happen again. I found their prices well in line. Be advised - cash only. I plan to visit at every opportunity. Being close to my new best motel "Holiday Inn Express of Oakdale", drinking isn't a problem, as I can walk back to my room. Next trip, less Yelping and more eating and drinking. read more

H-B Saloon - Looks ordinary. Tastes extraordinary. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Oakdale, California

Helloooo Cowboy Central! Came here for a beverage cause this is the place to go in Oakdale. The walls are covered in cowboy memorabilia (I guess the owners son is a pretty famous Oakdale bull rider). Everyone knows everyone here, I'm sure I stood out like a sore thumb, but everyone was very friendly nonetheless. This bar is like any other country bar in the sense that it was full of cowboys, cowgirls and like another reviewer said oozes with honkey-tonk. In fact there was a rodeo in town and this is where everyone came afterward, spurs and all! read more

Fantastic true historic country cowboy bar and diner. Great people simple fare fantastic drinks.

Good staff at the bar, but let's be honest. This is 2020. Who takes cash only? I had to leave to a place that can take my card. If Brandy wasn't so amazing this would be a one star review. Get with the times! read more

This is the coolest, most authentic cowboy bar in California! The employees are pleasantly rough around the edges, the beer is cold. They have a GREAT tri-tip. I highly recommend stopping in, just for the experience. read more

This place is legit! You lookin for a down home dive bar with character?! Look no further. Grab a beer and enjoy a piece of cowboy history. You're welcome : ) read more

Love Brandy! More bang for your buck at H-B. Busy weekend and relaxing weekdays. Love to come here. Sit on the left side of the bar and engage the locals. :) read more

I had such a fun successful day yesterday at my 2nd craft fair!! Met so many wonderful ppl! Plaza 131 salon and boutique was amazing!! Their store and owner is just amazing! We did a lil shopping in there and they gave me these fun stockings that will match my tree!! Along with free mimosas! The super fun/sweet bartender Brandy that works at H-B Saloon on Oakdale walked my my booth, I yelled, I luv your purse, so she went home and brought me one and gave it to me!! Shes amazing!! To all my harley friends, tip her good!!! Shes got a heart of gold! Karl won a raffle prize. Just one great day overall!! read more

Impressed with this place and I'm determined to be back often. Was planning on getting a burger until we smelled the bbq walking in from the parking lot. The ribeye steak dinner had amazing flavor. Best steak I've had out in a long time. This place is a locally owned mom and pop and you can tell by how much effort they put into their food. It taste like real food made by real people. read more

Always such a friendly nice place, beer is always cold, and it always feels like you know the workers. Definitely not a racist bar.

Just getting done working out at the Rubio ,Ranch us girls need a cold one, it's Friday. ..Letting our hair down. .. read more

This is the "Oakdale" bar. Overall its ok, but if Brandy is working then its the best place to be in the valley! If you want stiff drinks at the best price and you want them fast...come see Brandy at H-B! Joe & Mike are really good at watching the door and making sure no under age a-holes try sneakin in. They can also see a problem before it starts and resolve it. They have 1 security schmuck that is the problem and if I see him and his "Security Coveralls", Im goin to The Battered Beaver. Gonna put it plain and simple...If Brandy is bartending, Im there! If Joe or Mike are security, Im there! Love the ol' timers and the regulars since the 1st time I walked in there 11 years ago, they make you feel like you right at home. Now Im one of them, so come down and have a drink with us! read more

Friendly staff. Drinks poured well. Happy and satisfied. Cool stuff to look at inside. read more

This is my first Yelp review. I feel I need to write down my experience . We are from Los Angeles area . My husband and I spent a few days in March in Oakdale Ca. We came with a mission . Our son was Getting married in June and being the parents of the groom it was our pleasure to look for a place in Oakdale that we could hold the rehearsal dinner We met Mike , Mikes wife....mikes sister his son Beau and Jackie and their baby . We knew right away this was the perfect fit for our party. On a Friday night no less . We were able to decorate the banquet room the night before . Jackie told us feel free to bring a video of the engaged couple as they had a projector. Our son the best man made a video for me and his brother and soon to be sister in law . .. and all the guest to enjoy... long story short .. we dropped off the video, we were to return with our party of 50 in about an hour . We returned to the HB to find Beau and Jackie frantically bring in a tv from their home so we could play our video . They went over and above what they needed to do but we had become fast friends. Brandy the bartender was fantastic and even offered to work the wedding if we had any problems. We even exchanged phone number so we could meet up if ever they are in our town . The buffet was top notch, everyone loved the food, the service and the atmosphere. We had pulled pork, scalloped potatoes, Cole slaw, chicken, and salad. It was amazing, don't miss this gem in oakdale!! Thanks again for your exceedingly good hospitality and delicious food. -Julie read more

I have loved stopping in on my way home from work. It's also a great time when you're ready to go out and party with the girls. Clampers weekends and rodeo weekend are parties you should never miss! The staff is friendly and the owner, Mike, treats people like they're family! read more

We were here last Friday night for a wedding rehearsal dinner for my Nephew! What a great place! The staff were super friendly and the food was the best! It was a buffet dinner! My husband had the chicken and 3 times that weekend he commented on how good the chicken was! That's very unusual for him to do! This is a must try place!!! I also love that it's family owned and run!!! read more

I've lived in Oakdale my whole life and finally went here mainly to see what the fuss was about. I'm so glad I went! The hostess (named Victoria) was very friendly and was so helpful in giving me suggestions on what was good to get there! I mainly went for drinks and the ones the hostess suggested were very very good(she made me the best Sex on the Beach I've ever had!). The environment in this place is very friendly and you can see that with the staff, definitely recommend people go here for a fun time! read more

Wow, where do I begin? This is a family owned and ran business that has been around for a long time. If you are from Oakdale, and have been away for a few years, stepping into this bar is like a time warp. You will see everyone from your childhood, and will be drinking beer next to your gym teacher, pre-school classmate, and anyone else you can hardly remember from way back when. All ages assemble here, and the more elder and cowboy the better. This is also a great place to take visitors to, especially because of the genuine Cowboy / Cowgirl pictures and awards plastered all over the wooden walls. This is truely a "saloon" and unique establishment to Oakdale, California. Please bring cash, as these folks will not take visa or mastercard. Also please bring your manners, as the bartendress will not serve you if you are lewd and rude. Last but not least, the jukebox at the H-B is eclectic full of old time and modern country hits, as well as hip hop and top 40 party tunes. On an off night you will see cougars in wrangelrs dancing on the bar, and if you're feeling frisky you can join them. read more

If u live in oakdale or visit oakdale u know about the H bar B and there is nothing in comparison to this cowboy capital of the world famous bar so as the oakdale rodeo fast approaches it's a great time to give acknowledgement to the bar that has made oakdale a very special place, been there many times over the last 35 years and I can tell you there's no better place to get together with friends and really have a great time!!! Love the H bar B if u ever visit oakdale don't miss out and have a meal at the restaurant as well! Very tasty! This place is a true legend read more

The local saloon. Fun times, fun drunks, and smack in the middle of town. If you're gonna go out in Oakdale, this is the bar! They do not accept credit cards, but they have an ATM. read more

Good shit. Loving the night life. Cheap drinks, good people. I will be back. Show up around 9 on a Saturday night before the crowd and you're set. read more

This place is a real gem. Extremely friendly employees and incredibly inexpensive drinks. There is a really wonderful feeling when ordering three cocktails and the bartender asking for $12..... Are you kidding me??? So awesome! Will definitely be a return customer! read more

Went to the H-B tonight, a Friday. No hostess. Sat ourselves. No more than 10 people in the entire restaurant. Bartender came to the table promptly. Brought us to beers. So far so good. Downhill from here. We watched the (yes one) waitress walk around for thirty minutes. Never acknowledged our presence. She would sit and eat with patrons. I then got up and requested menus from the bartender. Waited another 30 minutes, still no attention. After an hour, placed no order. Paid for the beers and left. Horrible service. Bad experience. Don't bother. read more

This bar was pretty cool. A little dirty, dead animal staring at you hanging on the walls.. But what can you expect in a cowboy town.

Growing up around Oakdale for some reason I never had an urge to go here but I finally did last weekend. The crowd was mostly younger people. I won't call them cowboys but a lot of boys with hats on. There was about 2 girls for every guy but only one bartender. Took us about 20 minutes to get a drink and would of been on my second one by then. They are losing money by being understaffed read more

I lived in Oakdale for 50yrs. After being gone for 15yrs I returned for a visit and found that the "Hometown Welcome" was just as it should be. Thanks Bachi and crew for the friendly Welcome Back Keith M Port Townsend, WA. read more

I went here a couple of Saturday's ago bar hopping. Its really country. The staff are super friendly and funny. Especially the bar tender and the bouncer. XD he was like no way you are 21 lol I told him I'm 27. He didn't believe me. The drink was cheap and i had a well enough time for a Oakdale bar. read more

Worst meal out I've ever had. Service was great, despite the waitress drinking wine while serving us. My appetizer soup was very good. Then I got my burger....it was burnt and tasted charcoal. Safe to say we will NOT be eating here again. Drinks were cheap, so I would definitely recommend having a drink here though. read more
