I was visiting from out of town and wanted to try something local for lunch. This was one of the…read moreonly restaurants I could find that was open during the day on a Friday. It has a cool atmosphere and the service was fine. The food was mediocre at best. We ordered the mozzarella sticks for an app and they were the same as any frozen ones you get at the grocery store. Next we ordered the smash burger with waffle fries. The burger was bland. It needed more seasoning. The only way we got it down was by dipping it in ranch. The waffle fries were the best thing we had but nothing special. I would not eat here again.

I stopped into Back 9 while passing through Oxford on my way to an event in Jackson with some…read morefriends in entertainment. It was later in the evening, and I wasn't sure how many places would still be open that late elsewhere in the state, so stopping in such an iconic college town felt like the right move. Unfortunately for me--but probably great for business--it happened to be a home game for Ole Miss Rebels baseball, so the entire area was packed. I tried a few places before finally managing to grab a single seat at the very end of the bar at Back 9. The atmosphere was immediately fun and energetic. Between the sports simulators and TVs broadcasting games throughout the space, it felt exactly like the kind of lively college-town sports bar you'd hope to stumble into on a busy game night. The staff was clearly stretched thin because of the crowd, so I don't hold the slower pacing against them. If anything, it reminded me how differently high-volume bars function from city to city. There are probably a few things college-town bars in general could learn from the efficiency of Nashville's Broadway spots, but that's more of an observation than a criticism of this restaurant specifically. The menu is exactly what you'd expect in the best way possible--handhelds, flatbreads, comfort food, and crowd-pleasing bar favorites. I ended up ordering the Chipping Cajun pasta, and honestly, it completely surprised me. The balance between the spice and cream sauce was excellent. The bell peppers, onion, and garlic added depth to the flavor while also giving the dish a nice variety of texture. The seafood was evenly cooked and genuinely delicious throughout. It actually reminded me of one of my favorite dishes back in Nashville at Darfons Restaurant & Lounge, which I definitely wasn't expecting from a busy college-town sports bar. Overall, Back 9 ended up being one of the highlights of my drive through Oxford. If you're passing through town, especially on a game weekend, it's absolutely worth stopping in and trying for yourself.

I have worked many jobs dealing with food ranging from…read morecooking at a restaurant, cooking at concession stands for the Vikings and Twins, as well as working fresh produce and meat for a grocery store. We first got the boneless chicken appetizer and it was raw in the inside. This is completely unacceptable and the manager simply offer excuses and said he didn't know how it happened because all food is temped. When the first of the main courses came out the burger's top bun was rock hard and the bottom was soaked through. At this point many of us had completely lost our appetite and had no trust or confidence in the food that was to come out of that kitchen. Our waitress was really nice and I do feel bad for her having to deal with this. Ultimately it will be a very long time before I go back to an Applebees.

Our bowling lane broke down, which we understands happens, but our bowling lane was down for 20 minutes and no one offered to replace our time. The last time we went there were no bowling lanes open so we decided to play pool to pass the time waiting for a lane, they charged my boyfriend and I $10 to be in the bowling alley?? Then on top of that, if we wanted to bowl it would have costed us another $35. I don't understand why they charged us $10 to WAIT for a lane. We decided we wont be coming anymore. You can go to much nicer, updated, bowling alleys for cheaper. Also, they say they take credit cards but give you an upcharge for using your credit card.

I've been to The Growler quite a few times and have always had a great experience. I decided to swing in this week while back in town and it really held up. The staff working the bar are consistently awesome - they're personable, quick, and extremely helpful. The beer is always well poured. Their food is always great for the atmosphere. Some places tend to get lazy when serving bar food, but that is not the case for The Growler. There is so much seating available if you are planning to hang out with friends, and they have a few tvs and games available for use. It is somehow also a great spot for working - I have typed many, many papers here and have somehow never been too distracted despite this place often being filled with groups of people.

The Growler was something my family was looking forward to since they were coming for the first time from Connecticut and had heard good things, but the bartender made it seem like we weren't wanted there.
