    Oak Salad (Chicken or Tilapia)
    Jeff M.

    Cool little bar In Oakley neighborhood of Cincinnati's east side. Nice outdoor seating, great atmosphere, friendly and prompt service. I stopped by with a friend for lunch. I totally went against my norm and didn't get wings. (Anytime wings are on a menu I try) I had the "Oak Tavern" chicken garden salad. I was somewhat disappointed as there were no frills here. At $9.99 I was expecting a nice large lunch style salad. What was served was a small side salad with chicken cubes on top . I have not wrote off the Oak Tavern completely. I will return for the wings and a beer next time. I should have followed my intuition and previous Yelpers reviews in doing so.

    10 Smoked and Grilled Wings

    The wings at Oak Tavern are just incredible! They were big, perfectly cooked, juicy, and super flavorful. I have been dreaming about them ever since. The service was a little slow, which is understandable because the place was packed. However the ambiance was not conducive for conversation. The inside of the restaurant has nothing to absorb the sound, and the music was blisteringly loud. I asked our server if she could turn it down, and she did. I really appreciated that, but it went back up as more people came in throughout the evening. It was so loud I could barely hear the person next to me. Next time I go, I'll try to sit outside and see if it's any better out there. But I'll definitely go back for those wings!

    Oak Tav is one of those places where the overall vibe/ambiance is just as good as the food. The staff is friendly and hard-working, and while most people rave about the wings (which ARE pretty amazing), I cannot get enough of the grilled chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries. Cooked to perfection!

    It was my first time here and so excited I was invited out to enjoy some golf wings and drinks. Parking available in the street at meters. I went on a Sunday, so the meters were free. Anyway, back to the wings! With their welcoming smoky flavor and several choices of wing sauces, I couldn't get enough. I didn't know there was another good smoky wing spot besides the one downtown and happy I have another option. Each sauce was delicious but my favorite was the spicy garlic. Oh I forgot to mention the blue cheese. It was good too with nice sized cheese chunks in it! Don't walk, run to this place. It's definitely a delicious!

    I'm a bar food lover and this didn't disappoint. We had the kids with us (8 & 10), I wouldn't suggest taking kids any younger as they mostly have high top tables. They do have some regular tables outside. I hear this bar is for Brown's fans and my husband said it gets extremely crowded for Browns games. Anyway, the wings definitely make my top 5 in the city. I'm a sauce queen and to get a variety of sauces placed right on your table tops it off for me. The sauces didn't taste like cheap sauces you buy from Kroger, they were legit. My chef salad was loaded with ingredients and I would order again to stay on the lighter side. Onion rings and crinkle cut fries were good. Service was impressive at a spot like this. I will absolutely be back for more wings and tasty sauces.

    Wings are the best in town. Lauren is the best server ever so ask for her and the secret berry sauce for the wings. Love it!

    I will do this in the words of Henry Ford himself:…read more "The grease in this place is of the good kind... the kind that smells of honest work and assembly lines, not the rancid oils you find in those fly-by-night lunch counters. I found myself halfway through the signature burger, marveling at the assembly--not a bolt out of place, everything in its proper station and the lettuce crisp as a cold-rolled steel sheet. A man appreciates a system that functions without chatter or delay. Sitting here near the assembly plant's ghost, I couldn't help but admire the vintage fittings; they've managed to capture the spirit of progress without the clutter of modern inefficiency. My wife has a constitution that demands specific care, and the server handled her requirements with the precision of a master machinist, wasting no time on unnecessary pleasantries but delivering exactly what was ordered. The restrooms, surprisingly, have a sense of humor, though humor is a luxury I generally leave to the salesmen. It is a good price for an honest meal, constructed with a respect for speed that would make a production line foreman nod in approval. It is a well-oiled operation and I shall return to see if they can maintain this level of output." And normal: From the moment i stepped in... the atmosphere hit me like a wave. It was a perfect blend of vintage charm and modern sophistication with antiques that told stories of a bygone era. The restrooms while quirky, added a unique touch to the experience. What truly stood out was the service. It was swift and efficient, with our server going above and beyond to accommodate my wife's allergies. Grant our server did amazing job ! I ordered the Ford signature burger, and it was an absolute masterpiece. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the quality was exceptional. The presentation was top-notch, and the speed at which it arrived was impressive. This was one of the best burgers I've ever had, and i couldn't be more satisfied with my dining experience. Overall, Ford's Garage is a must-visit for anyone looking for a high-quality, efficient, and enjoyable meal. The prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is truly special. i highly recommend this place to anyone who loves food and wants to experience a unique dining experience. - Atmosphere: 9/10 - Food Quality: 9/10 - Service/Flow: 10/10 - Value: 8/10 - Would Return: Yes.

Our server was a new hire but friendly. The decor of the place is fun and on theme. I ordered a chicken dish and it was flavorful and a large portion. My boyfriend enjoyed the beer selection but the portion size for his fries seemed small, especially with the pricing.

It was very cold in the restaurant and the restroom was legitimately freezing! So the atmosphere definitely left a lot to be desired, at least on the day I was there. As for the food, I ordered a flight of tacos - the Alderman, the Gangsta, and the Yoda. They were all delicious. The service was top notch and they kept my water glass full which is always tough to do with me! I'll definitely be back and hopefully they'll have the heat on next time!

We ordered the Carne Asada Egg Rolls from the happy hour menu as an appetizer. They came out hot and had good flavor, the barbecue sauce that comes with them is a little spicy. For the entree I had a flight of epic tacos. I get The Bang Bang almost every time, the cauliflower and corn fitters on it are delicious. I tried The Brussel Hustle and The Nacho Business for the first time. Both were delicious in their own right! The Brussel Hustle may very well be my new staple vegetation taco going forward! The Nacho Business was messy, but soooo worth it!! The flavors complimented each other perfectly, may also be a staple in my order going forward! Looking forward to dining here again soon!
