We told our waitress and her response was "oh no! I'm sorry, let me get the manager because she'll want to talk to you. She's just downstairs." The manager showed up and after a brief description of the issue, apologized and took that food off our bill. We felt sincerely cared. To add to their sweetness, we always forget to take pictures. A separate waitress took great photos for us....and happily greeted us when my cousin returned to grab her purse she left behind 15 minutes later. The pizza was good...very good, but the people make it taste the best! We're coming back! Thank you Oak Fire!

The vibes were great, and even though we came on a busy Saturday night, we didn't have to wait for a table. It's a nice romantic atmosphere, but there were also plenty of families with kids there as well. We got the OakFire Street Taco pizza, and it was amazing. I love trying unique pizzas, and this was one of the very few that stood out to us on the menu. The two of us shared a 20 inch pizza and finished it all. This was with a man who eats a lot, so I would probably normally get the smaller pizza. They have a selection of beer and wine as well as a few prosecco beverages, mimosas, and wine spritzers on a back page of the menu. I got the strawberry fields prosecco, and it was a tasty and sweet drink. My date got the Creek Don't Rise Lager and Lagersaurus Tex, which he enjoyed as a beer drinker.

Better than most in the area but the sauce and cheese did not seem fresh. I will say the crust on the edges was crispy and has seasoning which was good, but the dough was thicker and chewier than I expected. This being said, I will say that if I lived in the area I would absolutely come back to catch a good game, decent pizza, and maybe try some of their many unique craft beers.

You can order from a limited menu at the outdoor bar, or go inside for the full menu. I asked the bartender about the non-beer drinks they have, and he told me about the short list of options. I opted for the siren seltzer, which he said tastes exactly like a strawberry White Claw. It unfortunately tasted very bitter and did not taste like one at all. My friend who is very familiar with White Claws tried it and confirmed my findings.

Decent beer selection. I'd come back another time as they have a lot of beer, some mixed drinks and what seemed to be a pretty big menu ! Big place. Lots of seating. Lots of TVs.

We were excited to come back to 3West when they finally reopened after the tornado, but…read moreunfortunately our first trip back had room for improvement. My Think Pink drink was good, but overpriced. They don't have prices on the cocktail menu, and this felt more like a $9 drink than the $12 it turned out to be. My husband's beer was very well priced, I thought, at $6.50 for an IPA. My husband had the buffalo chicken sandwich. It wasn't tossed in buffalo sauce, just unevenly drizzled on top so the full sandwich wasn't covered. He asked for a side of sauce to finish the job and we were charged $0.50 for it. He was also charged $0.50 for a side of ranch for his fries. In general, I just don't agree with charging for condiments. I had the Alehouse Burger and it was fine. It had a bacon tomato jam so I thought it would be okay without condiments, but it was dry. It needed pickles. None of the burgers on the menu had pickles. Burgers should have pickles. We weren't given a kid's menu when we were sat, so I thought they didn't have one (it's a pub, I get it), and I tried to just order a side of mashed potatoes for my son. Our server was cool with it and was able to ring it in (because she later had to take it off the ticket) but the kitchen told her they don't serve individual sides which is very odd to me. You have a button for it on the POS, you can serve a side on an entree plate, so just put that amount on a side plate. It seems like a very easy way to cater to your customers. The sun really shines through those back windows in the evening. Some pull down shades would be a huge improvement. It's a beautiful view, but not when the sun is setting and blazing into your retinas. Overall, food was mid, prices were a little too high across the board, service, as always, was great.

We started with two of their beers (mine was a lighter variety and my husband's was an amber). For lunch we both ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich that came with fries. We both liked the sandwiches. The breading wasn't too much and the amount of sauce was enough to give it good flavor and not overwhelming. We're a bit intrigued by the planned expansion for this place in 2025. It sounds like it will have indoor and outdoor seating and games for entertainment. We look forward to checking it out when we come through Waco again.

I may visit Obsidian Brewery time after time after time after time and never find out how their beer is. This is because a) They have an outstanding bar and b) They have an outstanding kitchen. For me, beer is a hardship beverage you drink when there is nothing else better available. When I go to a bar, I can sometimes be looking for mix-mastering. Usually I am looking for outstanding top of the line hard spirits. * * * When I walked into Obsidian, I looked at their bar. It was love at first sight. In front of me were twenty yards of three shelves of the most wonderful bottles I could possibly imagine. Half of them I had never heard of before. * * * I settled on a Buddha's Hand Gin. Buddha and Gin rarely appear in the same sentence Never mind the same label on a bottle. I ordered it straight up. I went immediately to Nirvana. Forget the meditation and the austerities. The Buddha's Hand Gin was as good as a trip to the Himalayas. Buddha's Hand is an obscure citrus fruit that grows multiple protuberances the way some horseradishes do. It is golden and looks like a hand. Ergo the name. The Buddha's Hand Gin is a citrus tinged gin with an edge more like orange zest than like orange juice. The additional botanicals make it strong, attention grabbing, fruity and yet combative. I was absolutely fascinated. Note that Buddha's Hand Gin is only one of the many items they have to explore there. I am totally ready to do more exploring. * * * The kitchen at Obsidian is also of distinction. The savvy local guide I came with adored his Thai Curry Wood Fired Rings. I went with a Cheesy Bread. This is open-faced grilled cheese on a thick slice of bread the size of a shoebox, with a wonderful homemade tomato sauce on about 1/3 of it. It is the best cheese pizza you have ever had. It is what cheese pizza is supposed to be if you don't use the standard canned ingredients that institutional providers sell to Domino's. I was as in love with my cheese bread as I was with my citrus gin. * * * The company was also outstanding. Which is just as well because Obsidian is a social place. Lots of Leanderthals having a fine time in couples and groups. This is not a loner's loser bar. You know - the dark rooms with misfits drinking their sixth beer while watching TV. This is a good folks good times full-of-sunlight place. So you definitely want to come with good folks. * * * Good food, good bottles, good people. And if you are feeling chipper, You can even have a homemade beer to celebrate.
