Sawmill Grill - American Near Me - Oxford, Pennsylvania

If you are planning on working here as a line cook, you better think twice, especially if you are a female. The group of guys in the back are a big clique, and no matter how sweet and friendly you are and how much you ask questions to learn everything on the line you can, be assured they expect you to know everything from day one. After a few days, if you have a question, they send you to dish from there on out by the manager and the guys. A common phrase they use is, "Don't you have a menu; you've been with us for a week, you should know this by now." The owner, John, strongly insists that every kitchen is the same, you shouldn't need training. It doesn't matter how many years one works in the field and how most restaurants work the same in concept, the menu and the plating are completely different. But the owner John and his manager Mike will cut you off every time you talk and won't hear it. The owner will then ask you why you are not pulling you weight on the line. You try to tell him that his manager and the guys on the line, who speak to each other in Spanish when you walk over to the line at the start of your shift to discuss where you will be placed, point and tell you to be on dish, but promise when it's slow you can pop to the line. That never occurs. You try to also tell the owner that when you went to talk with his manager about the fact that you noticed that you keep getting placed on dish, that you are afraid of forgetting what you learned the first 3 days you got to be on the line, that you want to cook on the line (which you were hired to do), that you will continue to happily help on dish throughout the day when needed, and that your hours are barely 15 hours a week when promised full time at the interview, the manager's response was just simply, "Well, it is just part of the job, I can't afford to hire a full-time dishwasher, and your hours won't decrease." You will quickly feel you don't fit in and don't belong in their clique. Also, once it has slowed down on the line, when you go to tell one of the guys on the line that you are going to your car for a second for medicine because of your migraine, the manager Mike will yell at you and accuse you of always disappearing, when that was the first time you walked off the line since you were hired. They won't listen when you say that that only times you do leave the line itself is to go to the bathroom, to take out the trash to genuinely help with closing at the end of the night, and to stock your station, as is required of the job. Also, some of the guys go outside a dozen times a day without saying a word to anyone for 5 to 10 minutes to smoke and be on their phone, and during slow times, one will stand over their phone scrolling. However, you never pull your phone out unless you check the time or quickly see if someone got back to you for 2 seconds. Be assured, you will get in trouble for that. When you try to mind your own business, work hard, help out wherever you can, John and Mike will motion to you to go to the front to talk, but be assured that the second they give you to answer their questions regarding the issue, you will only get a couple words out before John cuts you off, throws up his hands, and accuses you of making stuff up. They don't want to hear you honestly saying what you see. They will try hard to get you to say you are not happy working there, then cut you off and say, "We don't want you working here if you're not happy." You say, "Honestly, I am not happy, but I need to work here to afford where I'm living." No matter how submissive or polite you are, and no matter if you tell them politely that you will hear them out if they will respectfully hear you out without cutting you off, they will immediately tell you that they wish you the best and you can pick up your last paycheck. Mind you, they sought you out, when you have done nothing wrong but work hard, mind your own business, leave each day on an upbeat, cheery, friendly note with everyone, you never curse, you never shout, you never get involved with any conversation except with those on prep or the line about what you're doing, you have a great work ethic and a honest and kind-hearted character, and all you do is try to explain the situation and honestly describe what is happening in the back that they close a blind eye to, you get nowhere. The discussion is pointless because they stop you two words in every time you are to answer. The owner John throws his hands up, verbally cuts you off every single time you speak, insists the conversation will go nowhere when you have said nothing insulting or derogatory, have never shouted or done anything to warrant such a cruel response from him and Mike. Also, don't ever mention that you can't understand why you are disliked from day one, they will immediately tell you to get off their property. These two men are the most chauvinistic, cruel-hearted men I have ever known. read more

Had the best bloody Mary for brunch today. Loved the spicey rim and the garish with celery, pickle, bacon strip and olive was awesome! Be back soon! read more

This is an absolute, positive Gem! The food and service are fantastic. I meet with my Accelerate Real Estate crew there frequently, and if we go someplace else, we quickly see nothing lights a candle to this place. The menu has a bit of everything and the food itself is great. Service fantastic. read more

I had two terrible experiences, they charge my card the wrong price because I'm always with a group but when the waiter comes back saying my card declined that's embarrassing because they keep charging me extra, but that's the reason why I transfer money to different cards because i had the experience of getting charged more read more

I really want to love this place. The menu looks so good and it has a nice vibe when you are there. But then you take a bite of food and the taste doesn't excite me in any regard. The food is alright, nothing spectacular. I thought maybe it was just the day we went but now I've gone twice and feel the same way. read more

The food was great and the service was good. Recommend for sure. Staff seems to always be in a good mood.

Great little spot in the heart of Oxford. Go for the burger. Best in town (that might not say much given it's Oxford, but it's still tasty.) Cosy atmosphere. read more

First time at this Pub. Service was friendly, and yes a neighborhood Pub feel. I ordered the Rachel. Prime rib ruben. I ate mine open face, too much bread for me. It was very tasty and the beef was lean. The sidewinder fries are seriously the BEST french fry ever. My husband and I couldn't stop on the fries. Very good pub food. read more

Nice local spot. Extra charge for using credit card. Food is good (not great). Service is usually excellent.

Best restaurant in Oxford! Great service, delicious food, and a friendly ambiance. Highly recommend!

So far this quarantine we have ordered twice from this local restaurant. We have orders a range of things including Texas Petal Burger, Chili Cheese Fries, White Chicken Chili, Irish Chicken, Crab Cake Sandwich and the Buffalo Chicken Salad. Everything is delicious when we get it, fresh ingredients they check our order before they hand it off. They are polite and thankful for our business. read more

Passing through on our way to Longwood Gardens. Walked through the door with a party of 25. We were met with smiles and the staff seated us quickly. They took our orders and food started flying out of the kitchen. Come with an empty stomach, because portions are generous. Every dish was solid and fresh. Gotta have the loaded sidewinders and pickle spears. The country fried sirloin was real steak (not chopped), albeit a bit well done for my taste. Green beans were prepared perfectly. The pork loin special with sauerkraut is worth bragging about. Great casual atmosphere and perfect for families. This little town is lucky to have such an establishment. read more

Hidden gem in Oxford, PA. I was told you a friend I had to try Sawmill Grill and they were right. The environment is fun and friendly, the appetizers were awesome and the food was great. It was also very reasonably priced and fast service. read more

Food was great, but the staff was even better. My husband got the Caesar salad with salmon and a vodka martini and he really liked both. I was on a special pureed diet when we went and I was nervous about finding something that I could eat. I told this to my waitress and she couldn't have been more accommodating. The chicken blended my chicken chili so I could eat it! I can't wait to come back when I eat more!! Lunch for the 2 of us (including martini) was $28. read more

I was in town and saw their website, their reviews and their menu. I was not disappointed. The family got the salmon, steak, chicken salad, Irish chicken...and all was great. All a good price! The server was on top of everything and couldn't be better. We'll be back! read more

Love this place. They make room for our large groups all the time. The buffalo cauliflower is to die for.

I am in fact a fan of this place. Thanks Yelp for the suggestion! We were in town for my friend's birthday (not he doesn't live here, he lives in Hoboken) and since we needed food after hanging out all day in the sun we stopped by here, after a suggestion from the BDAY boy's wife. She researched a place close by where we were and this place had good reviews. I liked what I ordered, but to be fair I had chicken fingers and the sidewinder fries. Chicken fingers are not a difficult thing to make, but that being said I have had some that are better than others. These were on the better side. The sidewinder fries are a cool take on everyone's favorite side dish and also very good. My friends got the loaded ones but I wasn't really up for having everything on top of mine. The BDAY boy got the pulled pork sandwich which I had a bite of and was quite solid. They even made one of the people we were with a milkshake even though it wasn't on the menu. That was nice of them. In fact, everyone was really nice. Our server was really nice and even separated all of our bills for us, which was also quite nice. This place is yummy and cheap, I ordered a cocktail and it was like $6 and it came in basically a pint glass! Awesome! I'm not sure when I'll be back in Oxford, PA but I suppose if I am, I'll know where to go! read more

I went to the Sawmill Grill recently with friends after attending a local play. I ordered the salmon entree, which was very good. It was accompanied by a small salad and a potato and vegetable- also good. My friends also enjoyed their food. Best of all was the price! For all that, plus 1 beer and tax and tip, it was slightly less than $25. A much better deal, IMO, then the famous chain seafood restaurant we all know the name of. So next time I'm in Oxford, I'll know where to go! read more

The more we frequent this place, the more we love it. It has such a great home-town feel. The food is always great. The staff is fabulous. The bar has been expanded. Great beer on tap. The prices are good. I love being able to sit outside when the weather is nice. We bring our dogs with us. Love it here! read more

We found Sawmill Grill via Yelp while shopping up in Oxford. It's tucked on Market Street by two Chinese food restaurants, among other small businesses. It's in a storefront that looks fairly original. The interior is decorated with sawmill associated items like...well...saws. They've got interesting hanging ceiling tiles that look like those old metal panel ceilings. It's got an interesting "small town hip" sort of vibe. Appearances aside, the ambience is of a small bar/pub. If anything, it's a bit like a brewpub without the in-house brewing. They do sell local beer (had turtle in the name), but it didn't appear to be made on-site. The environment was LOUD. There were TVs on, the clientele was loud, and the servers were chatting loudly. It's a small place, so the noise was very noticeable, and would be my only major complaint aside from the chairs. So yeah, they bought a mishmash of like two booths, a bunch of bar stools, and bistro sets. Lots of high seats that (in my opinion) are uncomfortable. But enough of that, let's talk about the food. The menu was just the right size. Not too many items for a small kitchen to handle, which I like to see...means they do a better job on the items they have. Innovative menu items were around, like some sort of buffalo chicken + chicken and waffles mishmash. I had a very good chicken and biscuits, and my wife had a perfectly cooked steak. The "sidewinder" fries are an interesting feature. They're corkscrew cut thick fries with seasoning. I like the thickness, and although they had a bit too much residual grease, they were tasty. Cool concept. Service was quick and attentive. I'd hope so, since the tiny restaurant seemed if anything a bit overstaffed. I counted about five servers, a bartender, and at least one other visible staff member while we were there...and there were maybe 15-20 customers. Prices were very fair. Would recommend. read more

I love the atmosphere, but the food disappoints. The mozzarella sticks were freezer to fryer--I could have done them better in my air fryer. The chicken salad wrap was completely flavorless and came with a crappy BAG of chips on the side. I want a farm fresh meal with local ingredients if I'm in Oxford! I just wasn't impressed with what I had, but since I'm close by, I'm sure I'll be back (as long as I don't have to pay) and will have to try some of their other offerings and report back. The servers were sweet though! read more

Excellent drinks, food and service. We went for lunch - looking forward to trying dinner soon! Ron read more
