GET THE RIBS! There were five of us and two ordered ribs. We definitely had the best thing on the menu. Two others ordered a chopped steak sandwich and said it was unfortunately not good and seemed to be grizzly bits of meat, so they sent it back. The staff was so kind and quickly put in another option for them. Another person got a steak and loved it! I really liked the atmosphere and there were plenty of TVs so we were able to catch one of the final four games. read more

Monica provides attentive service. The nachos were a ginormous serving, the chubby burger was delicious. the Tex mex burger was okay, not a fan of the pico, and on the devils advocate pizza, the pineapple was dry and not sweet. Not too busy or loud, clean inside. Cute fish. read more

All around good food and experience . Would recommend for dinning for sure. We went for a quick bite and service was on par

Service was excellent and the ribs were tasty and the meat simply fell off the bone! Always a great place with consistent quality and service read more

Super delicious! There's a ton of seating which is nice because it's always looked very busy when passing by. read more

Oaken Barrel Brewing - Steak sandwich with fries - Breweries Near Me - Greenwood, Indiana

We decided to meet in Greenwood to celebrate a family birthday and decided to do Oaken Barrel and catch The I U final game. There was plenty of available parking and we got seated right away for a party of 6 even though they don't do reservations. Our server Julie did a great job of taking orders in a timely manner and staying attentive to needs throughout the meal. The table shared pretzel sticks and a plate of wings. The wings were some of the best I've ever had and the pretzels were tasty. I had a Greek pizza. Had to get a 10" since they don't do 7" anymore. Leftover pizza is fine. It was a good pizza. My husband had the mile high Reuben and said it was good. He loved the homemade potato chips. The table shared a lava cake and strawberry cake slice and they were yummy. A bite of each was enough to satisfy the sweet tooth. The noise level was pretty average for a sports bar room. read more

A gastropub type environment with ample seating both inside and out for small or larger groups. We were seated quickly outside despite being super busy, and our server was prompt and attentive. We noticed several patrons were obviously regulars by how they knew servers and others, which in my opinion is always a good sign...meaning they come back more than once! They have a variety of food options and their Idaho nachos are a huge portion and delicious. We also loved their Greek salad and would recommend it. Everyone in our party loved their food and were also reading about their thick cut fries. We will be going back and are thankful for this slightly hidden local spot with great homey atmosphere and tasty food. read more

Love this place. Never a bad meal or experience. Affordable by today's standard. Highly recommend

Nice staff good food we look forward to going back there in the near future. Their appetizers are very good,

They do not take reservations so we had a 30 minute wait on a Friday night. It was very busy but the staff was efficient and we were seated and served promptly. My tenderloin sandwich was meaty and lightly breaded. I also enjoyed the black bean soup with just the right amount of spice. Other dishes ordered at my table were fish and chips, salad, Reuben sandwich, and jambalaya. All said they would order again. Lots of beer choices! read more

First time trying this place and the beer was really good! We shared a flight. I love that the flight came with information about the beers and some history info. We didn't have time for food, but it all looked and smelled amazing and we will have to come back again. There is a bar area with a large bar seating area wrapped around the bar plus tables. And a separate area that's good for families. read more

The food and service were great. The menu has problems. They advertise gluten free items but we were warned by our server that they could not guarantee cross contamination. That left us with one person out of a party of 8 that couldn't eat the food. Disappointing to say the least. read more

We usually have a good meal at Oaken Barrel & the staff is always very courteous & nice however, our Father's Day meal wasn't up to standard. I ordered the fish and it arrived over cooked, almost burnt. Mt wife's Greek Pizza was also burnt. Fish left in fryer too long & pizza in the oven too long. The pizza was tasteless in my wife's opinion, she had two pieces and found it awful. I ate one piece of my fish but decided not to finish it. Normally, we would have sent the food back however, we were guests of my daughter and didn't want to create any drama. We will continue to patronize Oaken Barrel because the staff is so nice and there are some favorite dishes we like there. Just won't order fish or pizza again. read more

Meh. I've lived on the Southside for a long time and finally made it here to a Greenwood staple. Food was fine, service was very friendly and helpful. The place needs to be spruced up. It's outdated and worse for the wear. There are holes in the wall where old TVs have been taken down, surfaces were dusty. We were seated in the bar in a booth for two and it was the most uncomfortable seating I've ever experienced. The booths are wooden and look homemade and have all kind of weird angles and edges. Very odd. The buffalo chicken wrap was pretty good, but weird to have shredded cheddar in it. The onion rings were nice and crispy. Hubs got an open faced BBQ sandwich and said it was okay. Underwhelmed but if someone else invited me, I wouldn't object but wouldn't sit in a wooden booth lol. read more

Went to dinner with a couple of friends. Enjoyed a burger and fries. They had roast beef and a Caesar wrap and both really enjoyed them. Our server was kind and patient (as we talked and kept delaying our ordering! Sorry!). The atmosphere was great. Not too loud but private enough to have great conversations and there were plenty of good options for any palate. read more

Went here for the first time to celebrate a friend, and wow! The food was great!! We only got appetizers and desserts but the portions were great for the price. Our table personally loved the Strawberry Short Sheetcake. The slice was massive. I recommend ordering this specific item - I'll probably come back just for this cake alone (and I'm not naturally a sweets person), that's how amazing it was. If you do order the cake, ask for extra strawberry sauce. It's the best part ;) I also have a service dog and am happy to report this place was very accommodating. Got me a table out of the way of foot traffic. Truly was just so refreshing going to a restaurant where they were so welcoming of my trained pup. This alone is motivation to return :) read more

Best restaurant in Greenwood easily. All QUANTITY and QUALITY with unbeatable prices. Straight value. Plus they brew their own beers.

Had an unplanned stop at Oaken Barrel. We both had the Snake Pit Porter. Super beer with very good dark color. Flavored just right with no one flavor dominating. Hot Wings were very good but the fries were to die for. Very unique coating and the side size was plenty to share, especially for $3. Loved them. Donna the bartender took great care of us read more

The food is always very good. My favorite thing on the menu is the shrimp wrap. It's spicy, but not overpowering. The perfect amount of spice. The wings are very good as well. Great flavor and very meaty. The burgers are well seasoned. Just great food all around. The service is always outstanding. The servers are all very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very inviting. They also brew their own outstanding beers. Razzwheat for the win. They offer growlers or 6-pack CARRYOUT service. Great all around value for quality food and drinks. read more

We went there at 6pm on a Friday expecting to wait. We got seated right away. The waitress got to us quickly, the food came out in a timely manner for as busy as they were and it was delicious. I had a steak and husband had the mahi mahi. Recommend both. The Java stout was really good too read more

This place gave us exactly what we ordered. Food was good, restaurant was clean, and the waiter was nice. It's a very laid back vibe, nothing fancy or special. I always try to find that thing that's unique and makes me come back to that place just for that something special and I just couldn't find it. Maybe it was one of their beers (I'm not really a drinker). But if you in the mood for a decent sandwich and fries, it's not bad. Prices reasonable as well. read more

Have been a frequent customer for the past 3 years that has likely changed tonight. We were seated in Jens section in the bar ordered an appetizer and noticed after about 25 minutes people who came in after were being served their meals. When hubby inquired with Jen she snapped..no apology...its in. Never had bad service there before. We were ignored from the time we were seated. Very bizarre. After telling manager the chips were at our table within 5 minutes. By this time we had spent 45 minutes for food. We ended up asking for the chips to go and found food elsewhere. read more

Why have I been sleeping on Oaken Barrel for years? I forgot about how delicious the food is here. Everything I've ever gotten was delicious. The tenderloin, the steak, the appetizers and of course the delicious and comforting pot roast. They are tucked away in a corner of a strip, it can be easy to miss if you don't know what you're looking for. Oaken Barrel opened 29 years ago as a brew pub. If you sit in the bar area there are windows to the brewing floor when you can spy humongous brewing tanks. It's a really cool place with great food. I won't forget about them again! read more

Been wanting to visit this place for awhile now and finally glad it worked it! Definitely looking forward to going again from the nice decor, great service and delicious food... and let's not forget the beers! Super infant friendly! We even ordered some simple sides for our child and he liked them. We tried a few beers, including Razzwheat (which was the beer that introduced me to this brewery). Our waiter was kind and patient while I took a while to decide on my meal. I recommend beer cheese (even if it's a side) and the beef tips starter. Ample parking. Patio seating available. Definitely some screens for some sports watching. Diaper changing table in the bathroom. There is a "no pets" sign on the door. read more

Was told it would be a 25-30 minute wait, and it was 1 hour 10 minute before we were sat. After that service was fast and friendly but the food was below average. Fries were luke warm and a little soggy. I got the sausage sampler and the skin was tough, and the German fries potatoes were awful. Husband said wings were good. We were disappointed with the beer selected read more

I have always wanted to try this place. It's a little hidden in the corner of the business park but looks very cool from the street. It's very cozy inside just as it looks like it would be. They have a fairly eclectic menu, mostly bar food with a couple surprising additions like pasta, pot roast, and étouffée. Everything sounded good but I decided on a Buffalo chicken wrap and my mom and brother both got a breaded tenderloin. We also split an order of the pretzels. The beer mustard was soo good. The Buffalo chicken wrap was good too and the fries were crispy skin-on steak fries. The staff were friendly but it was fairly busy in a Sunday around 11. Every staff person we passed on the way out said "have a nice day", I thought that was awesome. We'll definitely be back. read more

I wanted to try someplace new and I was headed for Sam's Club so I searched Yelp for something nearby and found this place. I don't drink alcohol anymore so I came here for the food only. I saw pictures of some interesting home made soups and today was a cool rainy day so the photos put me in the mood for a soup of the day. In addition to their regular Black Bean soup they were offering Cuban Chicken and Rice soup. I ordered a bowl of the Cuban and a root beer. The soup was so thick and chunky you could have eaten it with a fork. In addition to chunks of chicken, there were a few black beans, a carrot and plenty of other veggies. I like that the soup was not overwhelmed by the rice. I was here in the middle of the afternoon and the place was not deserted at all. Seven guys at the bar and several tables occupied. Plenty of parking available too. read more

We were stuck south for a football game and were looking for a solid south-side option. I recalled this place out of my memory of their rasberry-flavored beer. Of course, I did order one (delicious!) What stands out most to me is the PRICES. WOW. With the mess restaurants and food, establishments have been in the past couple of years, (supply change and labor shortages) I was pretty surprised by the low prices on the menu. Almost everything is $8-$13! We ordered three appetizers to share. We got the Bavarian pretzel sticks, Idaho nachos, & Kwangs dynamite shrimp. They were all solid and again priced extremely well. Everyone enjoyed them. For my meal, I decided to get one of the most expensive items on the menu the Filet Frommagio: ($21.95!?) Three 3oz. filets, mushrooms, blue cheese crumbles, and a choice of a side. I got the vegetable of the day, asparagus. I asked for extra blue cheese and was not disappointed. I asked for medium-rare. It was cooked a bit more than that, but the filets were very tender and I still enjoyed them. Not quite a steakhouse experience but well executed clearly for the price. They have a great outdoor patio that we enjoyed and our service was good. I'd be happy to return again and try some other items on their very reasonably priced menu! read more

The food was good, the price was good, the service was great. Plenty more of TV's to watch games. It was a busy Saturday night and we had a large party. We only waited about 20 minutes. Service was quick and very friendly. The menu had a large selection and even some kids options. Will be back. read more

This place is amazing a true Greenwoodhiddengem.. Great food that never disappoints. Intimate indoor seating and out door seating. The cajun beef tips can be eaten as a meal and my favorite menu item. Check for weekend specials like southwest egg rolls or spinach artichoke dip. Super Fly and Alabaster are my favorite brews. If your lucky in the winter try the famous Apple buzz. Buy as much as you can it goes fast!!! read more

Food is great!!! Ice Cold Beer and really good service! One of my favs! Korean Quesadillas are the best!

Oh, no! I had the German sampler, with different meats, sauerkraut and German style potatoes. Big mistake. Got four pieces of meat different kinds, all of which were way overcooked and unedible. Potatoes undercooked in big chunks, and definitely unedible also. I let the manager know he was very nice about it and took it off the bill. But buyer beware again. Definitely need to bring up their game on this, or take it off the menu. The fresh chips from scratch were excellent. The ranch dressing that they brought out had a long hair in it. Can't win for losing. What is with the two employees sitting on the countertop with their feet up, behind the hostess desk? Looks very unprofessional. read more

Terrible service! We've been going to Oaken Barrel for about 3 yrs now. Tonight service was terrible. We ordered our appetizer, chips and bacon dip. After waiting for 25 minutes, the bar tender/waitress Jen wanted to take our order. I asked where our appetizer was, she replied it's been put in. I told her that people who have came in behind us have already received their food. All she would say is "it's been put in" (rudely). I told her we would wait until our chips showed up. Fine was her reply and walked away. I told the manager to have them box our appetizer up we will be leaving. The amazing thing is the chips showed up 5 minutes after I told the manager to box them up to go. They usually take 5-10 minutes normally. I told the manager I don't need to spend my money there anymore. read more

I've been hearing about this place and when we were in the area, decided to give it a shot. So glad we did! Came in on a busy Saturday night. The ambiance of this place is super cute, with a whiskey barrel decor vibe. We tried to make a reservation online, but this place does not accept reservations, so be prepared to wait a minute. On the plus side, they have beer! So we snagged one while we waited. We waited around 45 minutes (which is what we were quoted) and grabbed a table. Even though it was busy, our server was on it! She was prompt, friendly, and our food came out correct. I had the steak sandwich and fries. Pro tip- get their cheese sauce because it is so delicious with the fries! Sandwich was great and hot. We also had the cowboy caviar as an appetizer, and if you want your tastebuds to dance, please order that as well. We will be back and highly recommend you try it!! read more

A good restaurant on the southside. Very relaxing with excellent food. Service was great. We ate in the bar. Nice atmosphere with TVs and collectibles on the wall. Server was really good and she keep our drinks full and brought the food quickly. We went with friends and got pizza, steak sandwich, chicken ranch salad, and Tex Mex Burger. All of them were great. Fresh and tasty - the sandwich and burger came with waffle fries. All had large portions. Very enjoyable. read more

We were really surprised that we didn't like the food here based on the reviews. But both of our dishes missed the mark - totally. The Cajun Steak Bites were supposed to be tenderloin, but they were completely inedible. I ordered them medium and they were so tough I actually couldn't eat them - just total gristle and poor quality beef. My husband ordered a burger that had absolutely zero flavor. No seasoning, poorly cooked and totally dried out. We both left less than half eaten plates. The only reason I'm giving two stars is because he did actually enjoy their IPA and we had no complaints on the service. The restaurant seems trendy and like it could be a good time, but some changes need to be made. read more

So I got the Raspberry beer, it was recommended to me as it is supposed to be sweeter, I'm not a beer fan, but I can say it was pretty good! We got this monster burger and mai tai dish, both so delicious and flavorful!! Place was packed and we waited close to 50 minutes for a table, but it was 100% worth the wait. Overall, a chill place to be at. read more

The Strawberry Sheet cake is Amazing. The photos are what drew me to try this place. Sadly they don't have strawberries to go along with it, but the purée is more than enough to make up for it. It's not sickening sweet, it nice enjoy able cold treat. I get that for the appetizer. My Dad was okay The New York Strip. The Fresco Burger had too much bread for my dad. The Dynamite Shrimp, wasn't too spicy and was good. The Onion Rings were great. The tenderloin was a good safe grab when tying out a place. The pot roast was huge, might have had a few dryed spots but was still very delicious once you mixed it up. All in all it's a great place to try out if you never been, I definitely recommend this place. read more

I have been to this location many times and have always been pleased with the overall experience. We went recently and it was great. The service was super friendly and the food was on point. They have a nice variety of choices, and the menu wasn't overwhelmingly huge. The decor and atmosphere is comforting enough. They make their own beer and that's very cool too. You can see the brewery inside the restaurant. read more
