My friend heard about The Oak Parker from another friend, so we decided to give it a try and now I…read moretotally understand the hype. Walking in, there was very limited seating and about an hour wait, which clearly showed how popular this spot is. Thankfully, the hostess told us about their basement bar area where you can grab drinks and snacks while waiting. The downstairs area had such a cool speakeasy vibe dark ambiance, vinyl music playing, and honestly the perfect date night atmosphere. The drinks were REALLY good, and you can also order appetizers down there. Once we made it upstairs, we grabbed bar seating and talked to a few people around us who all said this was their favorite spot. Our bartender was amazing -- super attentive, explained the menu well, and gave great recommendations. We ordered the wings (perfectly seasoned and so good) and the chicken sandwich with buffalo added for a little spice... absolutely delicious. I also tried the pistachio martini, and wow definitely one of my favorite drinks I've had in a while. Overall, such a great experience from the atmosphere to the food and service. I'll definitely be back, and I've already been telling all my friends about this place!

As others have said, it is always busy here and the parking lot is tiny (and very tight). I knew I was in the right place when they had a whole section of the cocktail list dedicated to margaritas. Mango margarita is my favorite adult beverage and they make a great one here. I was skeptical about the pastrami sandwich, but it blew us away. This masterpiece could hold its own against any famous deli anywhere. It is piled high with thick cut pastrami. Perfectly tender, perfectly seasoned. Shoutout to the homemade potato chips and garlicky dill pickle it is served with. Looking forward to coming back to check out the downstairs vinyl room and make our way through the menu.

My wife and I were in Ferndale for a meeting and decided to have an impromptu dinner date. Since…read moreneither of us had been to Barrel House before, we thought we'd give it a try--and we're so glad we did. We entered through the back entrance and were immediately greeted with a warm welcome. We quickly found a table for two, and our server was attentive from the start, bringing water right away, answering our questions, and walking us through the wine and beer selections. My wife ordered the Beet & Salmon Salad, while I chose the Crispy Chicken Club with white cheddar and house-smoked bacon. The sandwich was absolutely incredible--hands down the best crispy chicken club I've ever had. The chicken was perfectly crispy, and the combination of flavors was outstanding. I also stole a few bites of my wife's salad and was pleasantly surprised by the yellow beets. I'd only ever had red beets before, and both varieties were prepared beautifully. The salmon was cooked to perfection and paired wonderfully with the fresh ingredients. Between the excellent food, welcoming atmosphere, and friendly service, this turned out to be one of the best impromptu dinner dates we've had in quite some time. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and are already looking forward to returning to explore more of the menu. Highly Recommend!

The meat fell off the bone and the sauce was delicious. I've been wanting to try the beet burger for years and finally got around to it... I wouldn't get it again. While the texture was great, it just didn't have much flavor. It was good enough, especially if you don't eat meat and want a sandwich, but I was hoping it would be more flavorful. Even a little more salt would've brought the flavor out a bit. The toasted cheese and tomato soup is amazing! Simple and delicious. The restaurant is clean, well lit, and well decorated.

I ordered the chicken cutlet with two different sauces, the zucchini fritters, the Tuscan kale salad, the mascarpone polenta, and the Valdo sandwich. Everyone knows the chicken is awesome so o won't go into detail about it. The mascarpone polenta was creamy and flavorful. It still light and not dense which polenta can sometimes be. I'd get it again. Even though everything was delicious, the kale salad was probably my favorite. The kale was tender so it was prepped perfectly since it can be tough otherwise. I love how it was dressed. Every bite had dressing but it wasn't dripping wet. I ate half of it a few days later and it was just as tasty and fresh without being wilted at all. Great flavor and texture with the toasted breadcrumbs, pecorino cheese, and some brightness from lemon. I'd go back for the salad alone but when I do go, I'm sure we'll place another order for all the goods again.

I ended up going with two of the chicken parm sandwiches, an order of the baked ziti, a tiramisu cup, and zeppole. Everything was delicious and the portions are very generous. The sandwiches alone have two fried chicken cutlets on them so half of one is more than enough for a full meal, meaning I've got dinner for tomorrow, too! The ziti was also a nice portion and I love their marinara. I was too stuffed to eat the zeppole while they were still warm but they're still excellent later, even when they're cold. I think they use ricotta in them which keeps them soft and pillowy (also another generous portion). It's carryout/delivery only, FYI. Ordering online was a snap as they have their own platform and it took about 15-20 minutes. Ran in and out and it was easy peasy and delicious.

We sat outside by the parking lot, but they have a nice little area with big, comfortable tables. There's a QR code you can scan to see the whole menu, which was very handy, because the menu is huge! It took us a long time to scroll through the entire drink menu because there were so many choices! For dinner, we decided to get 12 inch pizza so we could try a bunch of different kinds.

I came in and I explained to you your employee was very disrespectful and unprofessional which you are also. As a manager you should hold your employees accountable because the way he spoke to me over the phone was unacceptable and that's simply not how you do business. The avocado wasn't the issue even though that was the third salad I ordered from this location that was made wrong. What prompted me to come back and get a refund was how rude the employee was on the phone. This store lacks customer service, professionalism and quality. I hope this constructive criticism helps you take the necessary steps to improve. I understand you may be upset about the review but that doesn't give you the right fabricate our interaction to make yourself and your store look better. You were happy to offer a refund not an apology. Now I hope you have a nice day. Im a grown woman and I used a curse word to emphasize how rude your employee was, that does not warrant being called hysterical. No one was disrespected, called out their name, and voices were not raised. You're more appalled at the curse word used than your employees behavior and the stores ability to properly make orders. You keep coming on here with rebuttals instead of being accountable. Yes I did use a curse word but that shouldn't have invalidated the issues at hand. Yes there are three sides to every story but everything I've stated are facts. Again I hope you take this feedback as constructive criticism and make the necessary changes to run your store properly. If you were as persistent with my issue as you are about going back and forth online maybe my issue would have been resolved.
