Absolutely delicious dinner at Obys! They have a wide variety of options to satisfy most. I ordered the cup of crawfish étouffée, a cup of rice and beans, hush puppies and the bread pudding. The crawfish étouffée was perfectly seasoned with loads of crawfish! The rice and beans was equally delicious. Service is quick and warm. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is plenty of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The hush puppies were also yummy. The bread pudding is decadent and after the main meal is a perfect dessert to share amongst your party. read more

Second time stopping in, and it is very, very good. The first go around I had the chicken tenders, but this time, I had the Reuben, with waffle fries. Both were excellent. You walk in, order at the counter, pay, and get a number to put on the table of your choice. From there, the food is brought out to your table. Someone will check on you and even offer refills, much like a normal server. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's low tops, high tops, booths, and an indoor patio where the large windows can be opened to the outside air.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The food is good, it's a friendly atmosphere, and a meal like I mentioned will run you $15-18.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Oby's - Reuben - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

Always consistent! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I enjoy the New Orleans vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff is friendly and helpful. Poboys are delicious. And that bread pudding! What? Yessir. Of course they have many options. But I'm a big fan of the shrimp poboy. read more

Oby's was my favorite place to eat when I was in undergrad, and it was a treat to get to eat there again recently! I got the super spud, and it was just as good as I remembered. Of course, we also ordered the chips and rotel. The service was friendly and speedy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe of Oby's always feels like going home, and I can't wait for my next visit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Even if there is a line to order- the line moves fast. The food is a good serving size and fair price. Service is order at counter then have staff deliver food and check in now and then for cleaning and drink refills. Would return again read more

Short and sweet... The food is great!! Service was excellent and very attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Comfortable seating in a semi private booth.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Never disappoints. I just love their "if it's on our menu we can add it" for their spuds. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service is great, it's always packed in there, which says something and the ambiance is very family friendly![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Oby's - Super Spud + extras - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

This is a decent average quality spot that certainly has some fast food vibes. They have an interesting hybrid service system here where you stand in line to order at the counter then they bring your food to you at your table. They have a generous selection of items here so you should be able to find items that would please most people. I've tried this spot a couple of times but it really hasn't motivated me to want to make a return visit as nothing was really great it has all been just ok so there are just other places I enjoy eating at more than here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall it is a decent spot for a meal and is far enough from the madness of the Oxford Square so that you can get in and out in a decent amount of time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I stopped by for lunch, been a couple of years since I've been there but we always have enjoyed the food. I ordered a half muffuletta and pasta salad. The pasta salad was okay but the sandwich was really the worst muffuletta I have ever eaten. I'm not sure what it was, but they don't use traditional bread and instead of olive salad, it had some kind of nasty creamy sauce that soaked the entire sandwich. I've had many muffuletta sandwiches, this one missed entirely. read more

I usually get carryout, but this time I decided to dine in. After placing my order, I only saw the server once, to drop off silverware. Someone else had our food, and we had to get our own drink refills and to-go boxes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was literally empty, so there was no excuse for the lack of attention.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Poor customer service can ruin even the best cuisine. WARNING: Leave your tip after the service, not before. read more

Great food - crazy fast and always service with a smile! Great muffuletta, gumbo and salads - a wonderful alternative to the craziness on The Square... read more

This place was very good. LOTS of options and the food came out very quick despite how busy it was! All of the staff were very nice and accommodating. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very casual atmosphere - walk up and order and then seat yourself.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Had oby's delivered and it was amazing. Especially the fact I didn't have to get out that night. Great Job. Food was delicious.

I had occasion to order delivery from Oby's yesterday (sick college kid). I called them to verify delivery to her area, and they were very helpful on the phone. Ordered a couple of soups, salad and bread and was kept abreast of delivery timeline through an online update. As with many restaurants, they use outside delivery companies and the food did not show up for the sick kid. I spoke with Oby's personnel again (both staff and a manager) and they were very kind and helpful. Thrilled to say the food was excellent and service just couldn't be better. I look forward to eating in next time I'm in town! read more

This place is simply amazing! If I could give it 10 stars I would. The menu on the wall behind the registers is simply humongous! There are so many items to choose from that it was difficult to make a choice. This Cajun style eatery has some of the best Cajun food I've had anywhere based on the two times I visited it during the two days I was in town. On the first night, I got the fried catfish and the coleslaw side. The catfish was cornmeal battered just like I like and the fish pieces were thin and perfectly seasoned so there was a lot of flavor per bite. The coleslaw was really good as well and had more than just cabbage in it. The next day for lunch, I got the fried shrimp Poboy and the waffle fries. The Poboy bun was exactly what you would expect with a Cajun Poboy. The bread had the crispy flaky exterior with the soft inside. The shrimp was a good size, perfectly seasoned and battered. I got the side of waffle fries, which rival Chick-fil-A's waffle fries. If I were staying in town longer, I would probably go there every day and try something new off of the menu. Everything is so good! read more

I remember this restaurant from business trips to Starkville. The Oxford restaurant was a recent discovery, but it is as good as I remember it from Starkville. My go-to orders at Oby's have always been their sandwiches and po'boys. For my first taste of Oxford's Oby's, I chose their roast beef po'boy. The bread was a delight, the meat and toppings were incredibly fresh, and the service was top-notch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I went for a weekday lunch, and the restaurant and patrons were what you would want for a weekday lunch. It was packed but not too loud.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I can't wait to go back! read more

3 stars - at most. Ordered the catfish Po-boy. Generous portion of catfish for one, but the sandwich was messy to eat and bland overall. Waffle fries were absolutely not worth the upcharge on my order. They might be okay when piping hot, but they're lousy after they cool off, and there's no way to revive them if you order takeout. First time visit; not likely to return. read more

Food is good and reasonably priced. Service is always good. Good for both lunch and dinner.

Sandwiches are always good. I will alternate between the Around The World sandwich and the Club wrap. My bride usually gets the roast beef sandwich and potato salad. Many times when my bride is out of town working I will order from Oby's. Usually in 15 minutes or less my order is ready to go. I also appreciate how they seem to staff the restaurant according to whatever is going on in town. The employees are always friendly and happy to help with drink refills and such read more

Really underrated restaurant in Oxford. Service is super efficient and food comes out speedy fast, yet servers were nothing but polite and helpful. Really recommend the grilled chicken club wrap it was super flavorful and packed with chicken and ham! Ranch is some of the best in Oxford too! Will definitely be back!! read more

I would come back here again! I had the chicken club wrap and it hit the spot! The fries were seasoned well. My sister ate most of her catfish. The hush puppies had onion on the outside that was fried and delicious! The food is very fairly priced! read more

Oby's is my go to when I get to Oxford. Love their fried catfish, shrimp, oysters, baked beans, hushpuppies, and cole slaw. The French bread on their poorboys is awesome, crunchy good!! You cannot leave without ordering their bread pudding. Take it home and finish it!!! Sometimes there is a line ordering, but it moves quickly. Their servers are always coming by getting refills, etc. and super friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are plenty of tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My only complaint, when dining in, their fans are whirring full blast and it's cold no matter where you sit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Take out is always good! I'm looking forward to my next trip!! read more

The grilled shrimp wrap was not seasoned. Very bland. The wrap was room temperature and I thought it would be hot. The fruit dip was good. The service was good and the staff was friendly. read more

2.25 fruit cup ..feel short on generosity if fruit. 4 grapes, 4 pineapples, 7 mandarins.. bowl was not full to the top, do a better job.

As a frequent eater of their Starkville location, I knew I had to stop here while working in Oxford. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very clean location with space for plenty of customers[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], the service was quick and friendly, and the food was the same delicious quality. Keep up the good work! read more

The person at the cash register wasn't the most welcoming or helpful but maybe she was just having a bad day. Other than that the food was hot, fresh and delicious. I had the chicken finger half platter with fries. So good. We also got a brownie al a mode to share with the table and it was delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was clean and the staff was working hard to clear tables and check on everyone.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Also parking was easy, that's always a big thing for me. read more

Ordering was a little chaotic, and it was the lunch rush, but the food was good and the service was friendly. I recommend the Greek Salad if you need a break from fried food! read more

Rudest waitress. She gave the ranch you have to pay for to another person at our table and never brought mine. The sandwich comes with gravy and she was horrible about me asking for it, walked off muttering and shaking her head. We didn't even get to the fact that there wasn't roast beef on but 1/3 of the bread and no peppers and onions on the Philly ordered by another at our table. They weren't even busy. I don't know how she gets through a lunch service as bad as she obviously hates her job. read more

Very cool inside with outdoor seating as well. Food tastes good and the service is pretty good as well. Sometimes certain foods taste a little old. read more

Reminds me of the cajun version of McAlister's - same basics of sandwiches and salads and spuds, with Beer, but the Jambalaya is REALLY good. Seafood gumbo is about a 3 out of 5. Jambalaya a 4 (very good but not New Orleans good). The brownie sundae is a 5! (Also, 5 people shared it) Should have gotten a pic of that brownie dessert. read more

The food was average at best, the service at the counter was sub par and the order was messed up. I wouldn't recommend this place.

I have loved Oby's for years. At one time there was one in Flowood MS. I was so sad when it closed. I try to go to Oby's in Oxford every time I visit there. read more
