Cozy, nice atmosphere with food and a decent wine selection . Parking is challenging so carpool if you have a group !

Great food. Get here during lent and enjoy the crab cakes and fish sandwiches. Small in size but the make up for it with a great menu

Food good and service fine. At our 9:10, bar area full of workers who yelled at us that place was closed. We were sitting finishing our meal. All other tables empty. Incredibly rude and embarrassing for our guests. read more

We go here all the time, and I've never had something I disliked. The crab cakes are especially awesome.

I can't say anything about the wine which gives The Mighty Oak Barrel its namesake, but I can definitely say the food was delicious. Seriously high-quality appetizers and entrees for an appropriate price (a fellow diner I was with got duck, which was $22 for a smallish portion, but that's about the only overpriced offering I noticed). I personally had the Jamaican jerk chicken, as well as a wedge salad, and both were truly phenomenal. The menu isn't huge but offers a wide variety of cultural cuisines with some sauces and sides that are a bit more elevated than your usual sit-down place, like ratatouille, green beans almandine, carrot cole slaw, etc. Our service was outstanding. Our waiter balanced the art of checking on us too little and too much perfectly. He was very attentive , and also saved me tons of money by substituting someone else's salad for the iceberg wedge I ordered, which I greatly appreciated. I would've dressed a little more nicely if I had known more about The Mighty Oak beforehand. It has low lighting and nuanced decoration, and is small/personal. It's a great place to bring a date! I thought it might be more of a casual place, but it definitely is more appropriate for a slow, quiet dinner with good friends. The Mighty Oak Barrel is an all-around great restaurant with emphasis on quality and service. Definitely recommended! read more

Family-owned and operated. One of our fave spots in Oakmont. Sarah and Max and the rest of the crew keep the service on the rails and the food is great. Eat at the bar-you won't be disappointed. read more

I really enjoy the fish sandwiches and crab cakes during lent but they offer a great menu year round. Smaller, intimate atmosphere but nothing too fancy. I believe their dressings are all homemade as well, which are delicious. read more

Food was fantastic. Steak cooked to perfections, sides were delicious, salad was as well. Very good read more

Mighty Oak Barrel - Fried chicken cutlet on fresh biscuit w/ greens and red roasted potatoes - New American Near Me - Oakmont, Pennsylvania

See all

This is a quaint elegant restaurant in Oakmont Pennsylvania. We had an awesome dinner starting with warm bread and fresh whipped butter, then entrees which were tastefully displayed and made with fresh ingredients followed by the best cherry tart ever! Our waitress was pleasant and fun. Special touches I noted were the comfortable music in the background, beautiful artwork on the walls and tables with small and larger groups all having a good time. I would highly recommend this newly reopened wonderful restaurant! read more

If you're looking for a good place for brunch, make sure to stop here. The food is out of this world and the service is grade A. I recommend making reservations if possible, since it gets packed quick. read more

What a hidden gem.. everything was amazing from the drinks to the satay chicken.. to the pasta diablo to the coconut shrimp.. we will defiantly be back read more

We stopped for lunch on along trip and were richly rewarded. Imaginative menu with both standard American food and some fascinating fare possibly created by the owner. Rich sausage soup ably prepared. Fried calamari decent; portions generous. Special treat for us! Tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. On Saturday pm the bar, which looks like a fine place for locals to gather was not occupied but "Oakmonters" were engrossed in lively but polite conversations. Richly rewarded for getting off the beaten track. read more

Service was friendly, but food seemed really overpriced. $21 for a plate of about 6 or 7 ravioli that had apparently been frozen previously (cold spots) is a a proud price. read more

Great food (seriously some of the most flavorful I've had in a long time)... great waitress... and a hostess with an attitude that gave us the "you're not a local so we don't want you here" vibe. We arrived tonight (a Wednesday) at 5pm for an early dinner after a long day at work. We were asked how many in our party(only 4 of us) and asked if we had a reservation; when we replied no, we were greeted with a gruff huff of attitude as she tried to figure out how to place a party of four at the only available table of four left (that didn't have customers or a reserved sign already). She then exclaimed that next time we should know to book a reservation. I get it, it's a small restaurant (10 tables max with a large bar area), they want a heads-up, but we are from out of town and had no way of knowing that. Immediately made me think I was going to leave a one or two star review. Our waitress and her upbeat personality and the amazing food bumped this up to a four star (yes, it's that good)! I ordered the tomato bisque instead of their salad to start (but heard from my coworkers that the Italian dressing was one of the best they had) and was very impressed with the flavor. Had the two filet dinner with red potatoes and broccoli (the picture doesn't do it justice)! Steak was tender and cooked perfect! Potatoes were well seasoned and garnished with basil which paired perfectly with the sauce on the steak! I would definitely recommend eating here, but would definitely recommend going early (it really started to get busy around 6) and would SERIOUSLY recommend a reservation so as to avoid the same sour note that our dining experience started with! read more

Mighty Oak Barrel - New American Near Me - Oakmont, Pennsylvania

Great selection of food choices and drinks. Staff was friendly and excellent service. Will definitely return.

Our first time there since new management. The dining room was packed. Service is prompt and portions are large. The MOB house salad is delicious but the tomato bisque would taste better over pasta. Maryland crab cakes are delicious but calamari is bland. The scallop dish looked and smelled amazing but somehow lacked flavor. Chicken Francaise looked and smelled wonderful but unfortunately lacked flavor as well. We're satisfied that we tried the restaurant once but it didn't give us the incentive to return. read more

Took my MIL here for her birthday. We had really great service and they have a great wine list. We had the fried calamari and the cubanelle peppers to start and were impressed by both. Our salads came next and were massive (which was a nice surprise). My husband and mil both had the rabbit ragu pasta. It had nice big chunks of rabbit. I had salmon with a side of rice pilaf and Brussels sprouts. It was a very generous serving of salmon. My one complaint was that my sprouts were seriously undercooked (they were basically hard and unseasoned - which is why I gave 4 stars and not 5). Overall we enjoyed the food and felt like it was well worth the money. We would definitely go back. read more

Went today at opening.... Staff eagerly awaiting, and within minutes, the place began to fill up. We ordered the soup of the day: Tomato Bisque. The temperate was perfect, and the taste devine. For our lunch, we had the salmon sandwich. It was a wonderfully broiled salmon piece served with bacon and lettuce on a rye bread. It was recommended from our server, and it did not disappoint! Thanks Mighty Oak Barrel! read more

I really enjoy the Duck here. Rates are reasonable as well. You get a soup or salad and a side with entrees. Great wine selection and friendly staff. read more

A family-owned restaurant with a great wine list in my own neighborhood? Yes, please! My husband and made a reservation for 8pm and were promptly seated. Our waitress was very pleasant and attentive. We each loved our wine choices - and both were reasonable for the quality at $9/glass. We started with the Bacon Wrapped Shrimp with Horseradish Aoli. At $13, I feel this appetizer was a bit on the expensive side but, as I'd heard, the sauce was outstanding. We both moved on to a Spinach Salad with Peppered Strawberries, Red Onion, Goat Cheese, Egg, and Candied Walnuts. It was a delicious iteration a traditional spinach salad - and both my balsamic and my husband's raspberry vinaigrette were excellent. For dinner, I had the Twin Filet Mignon with Blue Cheese and Port Wine Demi Glaze. The meat was expertly butchered and cooked; the sauce was a good consistency and flavor; and, my portions of the two sides - green beans almondine and roasted red potatoes - were gigantic. My husband had the Stuffed Lobster Ravioli in a Cream Vodka Tomato Sauce, which looked a bit small on the portion side; however, he cleaned his plate and I didn't hear any complaints. Our entire bill--two glasses of wine, an appetizer, $2 upcharge on the salad choices, an entrees (which included the two sides)--was only $85. I find this to be extremely reasonable for piping hot, fresh, well executed food that (1) I can walk to and (2) can support my local economy. We absolutely plan to make this our new "spot" for date night! read more

I loved the atmosphere of this restaurant. It is a quaint eatery with a good balance of tables and bar area. There are utilizing their space well. Also, all of the food exceeded my expectations. My flatbread appetizer was unique and delicious. For the entree, I ordered the salmon which was wonderful and a healthy portion. The sides were tasty even down to the homemade avocado ranch dressing for the salad. I would definitely return to this restaurant the next time that I am in town and recommend it to all of my friends traveling to Pittsburgh!! read more

Cozy neighborhood joint. Small, well finished interior. Tables tightly placed together, no sound dampening makes it difficult to hear your dining companions. Great, classic hardwood bar area, TV's muted to sports channels. Service was slow at times. Food well priced for what you get - heaping portions of healthy, modern gastropub food. Chicken and fish dishes (I sampled the tables) were tasty and well seasoned. Sauces, condiments and dressings are PHENOMENAL. They best any $50/plate restaurant. Salads are mixed greens. Each entree comes with 2 sides. Steamed veggies were crisp and well seasoned; sweet potato fries were spot on. Wine and beer list are extremely well priced - Woodchuck is $3/bottle. All in all, it's a great neighborhood restaurant. It's not fine dining, it's not casual - and it hits the spot. Two things are worth coming back for, time and time again: the sauces/dressings/condiments and the well priced alcohol list. read more

First time here. Stopped for lunch on Saturday. Not many people here. We ordered salad with champagne dressing, tomato bisque, fish sandwich and steak sandwich. Everything was excellent. The cod was lightly battered and very fresh. Tomato bisque was flavorful, great piece of steak in the sandwich and fresh salad greens. Nothing to criticize except if you like your food "easy on the salt" this may not be your place. I loved it!!! read more

We were a group of four and decided to sit at the bar because it was a little crowded. The ambiance was nice and seemed like a happy neighborhood restaurant. We all had different entrees but the bartender put our order in properly and kept our glasses full. We received our food in a reasonable amount of time and it was cooked perfectly. I had a fried chicken cutlet, served on a biscuit, with pan gravy with a salad and a side of potatoes. It reminded me of visiting my grandmother in North Carolina. It was so tasty and tender and the biscuit was soft and delicious. The other entrees were just as good. This will be a weekly stop for us from now on. read more

Went for lunch. Had their veggie burger it was very good. The texture was pleasant and had tons of flavor. This is a small quaint place and gets packed on the weekends. Their portions are just right and the prices are very reasonable for the quality of food. read more

A hidden gem in Oakmont! I highly recommend this restaurant over Hofstot's and Chelsea Grille. The food is delicious, the service is great and prices are reasonable. read more

We just flew in after a long day were looking for someplace good to eat and found this on Yelp! OMG if you are in Pittsburgh do not miss it. The salmon with avocado butter was AMAZING! My husband had the pork chop it was huge and delicious!! All desserts are homemade and wonderful!! Don't miss this place if In the area. Very small intimate setting. read more

Decided to try this place after seeing the great reviews on yelp. It's a hidden gem - small but the service was great, prices not out of the ordinary & the food was delicious. Two of us had the broiled scallops - a more generous serving than most places & very good. I had a fried chicken special with mozzarella & tomatoes & a side of pasta. Delicious & the leftovers the next day were just as good! Our 4th person had fish ( I think cod) which was also good. I suggest you make a reservation ahead of time because it was very busy. read more

Very good food. Certainly well worth the price of each entree. The house salad was great along with the Salmon and Pork Chops that both my wife and I had. Even my son was digging the cheese pizza. Would come back here next time in town. read more

Wine tasting at the mighty oak barrel was fantastic!!! Great food and wine! I highly recommend these wine tasting events.

Delicious burger and even better crab cake sandwich. Great place!

Small, cozy. Food is A+, service is very good. The only problem - the noise level is simply staggering. We could not even hear our waitress telling us the specials - and she was standing right at our level as we sat at a high top. That amount of noise is a full-on sensory assault and really detracts from the dining experience. Too bad, because my dinner was fabulous! read more

I've always liked this place, kinda tucked back from the main road a bit but was extremely happy when I found it. My wife and daughters love the home made salad dressings, take your pick they are all good. I got the avocado salmon with butter sauce and it was cooked perfect. The staff was cordial and happy to cater to my daughters ages 2 and 4. We also ordered dessert, carrot cake and raspberry Charlotte which were both very good. Never heard of a raspberry Charlotte until this visit and I will never forget it. read more

But if you can what ever You want on a meal go ahead and stop in. read more

Came from out of town and was excited to eat here again. When we called to make reservations they refused saying they were booked for an event later that evening. I asked if that meant the restaurant wasn't serving dinner before the event and the waiter said they were. The event didn't start till 6pm and we wanted to come for an early dinner at 4:30pm. The hostess hesitated and said they couldn't guarantee a table and they would have to rush us out. So we told them to forget it. Bummed we didn't get to eat their again. read more
