Updating my previous review only due to a service issue and to be clear, the food is still very good and we will continue to go back. Our server was relatively new but did an outstanding job and would like to have her as our server again. My issue is with mismanagement coming out of the kitchen. We ordered a salad that was missing half the components when it arrived, including the dressing. The server went back and spoke to the manager a couple times doing her best. In my opinion, it got well past the point at which a conversation/clarification needed to come from the manager. Separately, we also had to ask that the lights be turned off because several were flickering constantly. read more

Ventured out to Holly Springs to meet friends for dinner, this was a nice halfway point for both families. Oakview Public House is a new restaurant in Holly Springs in a newly developed shopping center. Because it was new, we were expecting to walk right in and be seated - the was not the case so be sure to make a reservation unless you have time to wait. We were greeted by a group of lovely young ladies and were told it was a 45 minute wait but we were seated in about 20 minutes. Once seated our server quickly came to offer us drinks and gave us the overview of the menu. I ordered the Fish & Chips and my husband ordered Steak & Frits. Fish & Chips: The large piece of cod was perfectly battered and fried, not heavy or greasy - as some fried fish can be. The fries weren't great, they were steak cut and there was some inconsistency in the cook leaving some undercooked and soggy BUT the portion was so large I was able to pick through and find some perfectly cooked ones so I was not disappointed. I'm usually not a fan of tartar sauce, but Oakview makes theirs in house and it was delicious! This dish also came with a side of mashed peas, I don't think this was necessary as it didn't really add to the dish, maybe a nice slaw would have been good but nonetheless I was very satisfied with my meal and will order it again! Steak & Frits: Chef's Kiss! The steak was cooked perfectly medium with a nice salty bark and the tallow fries were perfect! They were regular cut fries and the cook was on point! Drinks: I had the Ballad Brewing Kolsch (VA) that was nice and creamy and my husband had 12 Oaks Margarita which he loved! Overall: This was a great experience, the food was fantastic and the service was stellar. Fr only being open 1 week Oakview Public House did not disappoint! Looking forward to going back. read more

This place is delicious. My wife and I came in around 1 on a Sunday. They had a brunch menu as well as their normal lunch menu. We tried the onion dip and were overly surprised at how good and fresh everything was. She got a blt, and I got a grilled chicken sandwich with bacon added. Their homeade fries in beef tallow are delicious. We will be back again soon. By the way, I almost forgot. The service was fantastic and fast. Our food hit the table within 10 minutes of ordering and they were a little over half capacity. read more

Oakview Public House is one of the newer spots now open in Holly Springs. I dined in for lunch and ordered a beer and the crab cake sandwich with fries. Both were good. They only had one menu when I dined in but they now have a lunch and brunch menu so I'll def have to return soon. read more

First off, our server Ela was so amazing! Have to highlight how well she handled our table of 13 (including 6 kids). Complete rock star! The restaurant is super cute inside with elevated farm-to-table vibes and bright, warm lighting. All the food we had was delicious! The highlights were: The Burrata app which came with roasted tomatoes, golden beets, and amazing grilled bread slices. The Caesar salad was also stellar with great flavor notes of Parmesan, anchovy, and garlic. read more

We enjoyed a great reunion dinner here over the holidays! While in town, I wanted to try a new local spot and Oakview Public House was a great pick. We considered brunch, but were excited for some of their sandwich options and opted for dinner this time. It was easy to make a reservation on their site and the staff was attentive and friendly. The space is great with a nice modern vibe and separate patio dining, dining room, bar area, and a second dining area. We thoroughly enjoyed the chicken sandwich, Reuben, fries, mashed potatoes, and salad. The attention to detail and flavor in each was fantastic, even for the more basic (at first glance) menu items like the chicken sandwich. The marinade and aoili provided great flavor to make it a more unique dish than expected. We had a great time and will definitely go back! read more

Cute new spot near 12 Oaks. Very modern inside, felt like being downtown. Enjoyed the Apple and Fig Old Fashioned and Toasted Sugar cocktails, Pan con Tomate and we split the Short Rib Bolognese. Drink and food were excellent! Will definitely be back. read more

Food and service are always great, very grateful to have this option so close! The salmon dish this season is to die for!

It's known that I'm a burger guy. This hidden gem in a little known new cluster of businesses in Hollysprings is worth a ride. The well seasoned combined 6oz angus beef smashburger patties are smothered in American cheese, carmelized onions, some very tasty butter pickles nestled in a pillowy potato bun. It's truly a treat for your taste buds. Will I be back for another absolutely and you should too read more

Had a work dinner there. First off the restaurant was empty and yet the service was slow. One diner waited so long for her glass of wine, we had to call our waitress who had been MIA, she forgot what she ordered. Our group of 8 skipped appetizers and went straight to dinner. I ordered the chicken pot pie which was basically tasteless. It was watery instead of in a creamy sauce. The top crust got soggy due to the watery filling. I would not visit again read more

OPH is a beautiful new restaurant in Holly Springs. I am from out of town and visited twice during my vacation, (it's that good!) It was very lively Saturday but the wait was not long. The staff was very friendly and attentive; and the manager made his rounds to check on everyone. The Burrata I wish I could have taken home with me, this is beyond delicious. My smash burger was top notch as well. The bar makes some seriously delicious drinks. I will be back when I come to town. read more

I was super excited to be invited to the soft opening of this highly anticipated new restaurant in Holly Springs! It did not disappoint!! The service was great and the food was amazing. I ordered the steak frites served with tallow fries, my husband ordered the short rib pasta, our friend ordered the fish and chips. Everything was fantastic! For dessert, we ordered the chocolate torte with Chantilly cream and the bread pudding. I think the chocolate torte was the favorite. We can hardly wait to go back! read more

I saw this new spot on yelp and was really excited to try it as Holly Springs is really lacking in non-chain restaurants that are actually good. This one is excellent! We popped in on a weeknight and ordered the charcuterie board, fried chicken sandwich, and smash burger. The sandwiches really impressed us! The chicken sandwich was brined and topped with pickles and hot honey. The combination was so good on the soft potato bun. The smashburger was amazing too! Fries were fresh, crispy, and fried in beef tallow. My measuring stick for most casual bar type spots is the ranch test - is it homemade or gross? I can attest Oakview's is homemade and delicious. Can't wait to come back to try more of their menu! read more

We made reservations for brunch and got seated immediately. We ordered our drinks and then food. Waited for an hour for food. The table next to us was the same. Finally the food came out and it was not good. My son ordered steak medium and it came out well done and was tough as could be. I ordered the avocado toast with an egg over easy and got I don't even know what- it's hard to mess up an egg. The avocado was tasteless and hard. Wouldn't recommend this place for brunch read more

The host and server were friendly and accommodating. Ambiance was okay. The food, though, was unseasoned and very bland. Really, it was tasteless. We ordered the calamari starter which arrived at the table barely warm. The restaurant wasn't busy yet (5pm Friday) so why did the food sit for so long before it was delivered to our table? Also, it had no flavor at all. My chicken quesadillas had no seasoning at all, no flavor. We won't be back. read more

First visit. We had a large group. Half of the tables food came out. Waited a while for the rest to come out. The manager came to our table to tell us that the other orders did not go in at the same time. No offer for a price adjustment. Some of the meals were cold. Portions were small. Don't think we will be returning. read more

We went to Oakview Public House tonight with a party of three and were surprised it wasn't busier! We were shocked there was no wait on a Friday evening. The food was amazing and arrived quickly. We had Courtney as our server and she was very attentive, friendly, and made great recommendations. We had a great experience overall and we will definitely be back! read more

Great brunch this morning! Food was delicious and service was great. We'll be back! Highly recommend read more

Someone lost our order and we waited while other diners around us came and went. Finally the server admitted that there was an issue with our food. When it finally arrived it was not worth the wait in terms of flavor and quality. Don't be returning read more

The service was not good at all. No ice in water. Had to wait a while for a refill of the warm water outside. Had to go inside to get our check after waiting 15 minutes. Poor value for price of meal versus the portion. Salad entrees boring and not creative or enticing. The carrots in the pot pie were from a can; not fresh. We left still hungry. The pimento cheese hot honey appetizer was good. We will not be back. Too many other restaurants around with excellent service and great value. The ambiance was very nice. read more

Went for dinner tonight, the food, service, beverages, and atmosphere were spot on. Absolutely delicious food. The menu is a wonderful but simple comfort food with something for everyone, even butter noodles for the kiddos. The apple fig old fashion was absolutely amazing! Everything we tried was delightful husband says the smash burger was absolutely amazing, he doesn't have the words to describe it. I had the spare rib bolognese, it was rich with flavor without being heavy. The bread pudding and the donuts were absolute perfection. Do yourself a favor and check it out! read more

Our lunch was fabulous! Everything from the service to the food was top shelf. We had the grilled chicken sandwich and the brisket cheese sandwich. All the flavors combined for a delightful meal. The beer selection had a good variety. This restaurant is a great addition to the community. read more

Awesome food and service. They've adjusted the menu, showing they truly listen to feedback. Everything is amazing. All of it. The drinks are spectacular. The service is too notch. The smash burger is unreal. The tater tot appetizer. Just get it. Trust me. The ambiance and environment is clean and warm and friendly. read more

Great food and great atmosphere. A nicer restaurant! Been a few times since they opened and loved it.

The restaurant is clean and austere. A little sterile. A couple of us had the steak frites and the fries were fantastic. Steak was well cooked. I had the pork chop which was a little dry, but everything tasted great. The only challenge was this was dinner for our 30th anniversary, and I made sure to mention that in the reservation, but no mention was made of it by the staff. read more

Service was fantastic and friendly. When I had a question about a dish they had the server brought me a sample to taste. Service was quick. Food was amazing. Well cooked steak and nice size piece of fish. Drinks were yummy. The ambiance is upscale chick. Nice decor and lighting. Definitely a good vibe for a nice date night or sit at the bar in the bar area to chat with people. read more

First time, great food great service. Great burger great club sandwich. Thank you Courtney with a C.

What an experience! We absolutely love this restaurant. The food is outstanding, with an excellent variety to choose from, and every dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. The cocktails are incredible, and the décor sets the perfect atmosphere--elegant, warm, and inviting. We hosted a private party here for my husband's 50th birthday, and every detail was truly first class. The private room is a wonderful touch, comfortably accommodating our guests while still feeling intimate and special. The staff was attentive, professional, and went above and beyond to make the evening seamless and memorable. From start to finish, the entire experience exceeded our expectations. We couldn't have chosen a better place to celebrate such a milestone and highly recommend it for any special occasion. read more

We had my dad's surprise 50th birthday party here, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. The staff went above and beyond to help us pull off the surprise, and you could tell they truly cared about getting every detail right. The private room was set up perfectly, and the curtain entrance they created was such a thoughtful touch. Watching my dad walk through and see all of his friends waiting for him is a moment we'll never forget. The food was incredible, and the service throughout the night was seamless. This place played a huge role in making a really special night even more meaningful for our family. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to host a celebration or private event. read more

I really was hoping this place would be our new "go to place ". It is very pretty inside and has a nice patio area and a convenient location . We were escorted to our table on the patio ,that had supposedly been cleaned but had some leftover french fries stuck to the table . Ok no big deal we sat at another table , but the french frie remained on the table for at least another 15 minutes . It was not that busy . There was plenty of staff that went past our table but it took a really long time to be acknowledged by our waitress .We had a very young waitress who was very pleasant she took our drink order and when she returned she took our app order ,chips and salsa . About 10 - 15 minutes later she took our dinner order . I was kinda surprised our chips didn't make it out but we went ahead and ordered our dinner . Our waitress had no idea of the specials and went back to get the list she also asked another staff member about the specials . The menu felt a bit small and limited but we were hopeful . About 15 minutes later our dinner arrived , my husband ordered salmon cooked medium it was very pink and definitely not cooked medium . I had the special, shrimp tacos . The 2 shrimps on my taco were overly breaded and fried and slaw was so minimal is wasn't a well balance taco at all . The manager and waitress did appolgise about the chips not showing up but how hard is is to serve some chips and salsa? I do hope this restaurant can get their menu and staff on track . read more

What a treat the food was excellent. Some of the best Salmon I have ever had The service was above and beyond expectations. Very attentive and came to check often. The Ambiance is typical of this style restaurant. We were visiting friend and are from San Francisco and was super impressed and when back will make this a go to. read more

Absolute best meal I've had in holly springs! Wow. Just wow. Had the shrimp taco special and I normally don't like fried food, but the fried shrimp was incredible-- perfectly cooked, battered and seasoned. Everything on the taco made sense and was super flavorful. My friend got a salad and fries and her salad was huge and she was pretty sure it was homemade dressing. The fries, she said, were the best she's ever had! Great service. Nice new spot that wasn't so loud we couldn't hear each other. We will go back!!!! Soon I hope. read more
