The atmosphere is exactly what you would expect from a tavern in the Midwest. Low lighting and…read morelots of tvs. This would be a great place to watch a game. The service was quick and efficient. The food was good. I ordered the jambalaya (without shrimp) and it was very flavorful. It had a little more liquid than I was expecting and leaned towards the "mushy" side but the sausage and chicken were spiced well. The sausage had the right amount of "snap" to it.

We have been to Johnny's Tavern many times and the food and service are usually spot on. Tonight…read morethere was a bit of a miss. Our group of 13 arrived well before the crowd, but had to wait a very long time for our food. That is especially hard on the young ones. Although it is quite loud in there, we are typically able to talk. The chicken wings and fries were lukewarm and most said their dinner was so so. I had a side salad which was good, but of course I expect that to be room temp. We are going on the premise that this was a one off. But normally, we would expect much better on the food quality. Our server did a pretty good job for us.

Our group of four ordered the Riskadillo and that taco pizza. Both pizzas were really good love the…read moretaco pizza, chips, and seasoned beef however, Riskadillo stole the show!

Our server did a great job, we were in and out with our bellies full. We left and continued talking about the pizza experience.

We've tried The Oak Tavern several times hoping each time it'll be better than the last, but it…read morenever is. Unfortunately the food looks way better than it tastes. The Buffalo chicken pizza (which I've ordered twice) has been watery each time, with toppings sliding right off the limp crust. We've ordered the fried pickles a few times too, and they taste like they were fried in old oil. If you've had fresh fried pickles versus ones fried in bad or old oil, you know the difference. The beef nachos came out cold, served in a big cast iron skillet that also was cold (why serve cold nachos in a cold skillet?). Service at the bar has also been slow every time. Regulars get priority with very attentive service. As a former bartender myself, I get it: the regulars are sure tippers and people you get to know on a personal level. But every customer deserves attentive service regardless if it's their first time in a bar or their 100th. Also something odd about the bar service: each time I've ordered a mixed drink like Jack and Coke, they serve it in a pint glass. Industry standard for a single serving of Jack and Coke is in a short glass/rocks glass, not in a tall glass unless a customer requests it. The first time I thought it was a simple mistake, but it kept happening the other times we went too. This might be policy here to keep the bartender from having to make drinks more often? But it's not industry standard and is strange. I literally never leave negative reviews, but living locally it really sucks this place isn't better. We make the drive to Grain Valley or Blue Springs if we want to go to a bar because we keep getting disappointed. I'll update my next review of The Oak Tavern with pictures if we decide to try again. Rating 2/5 stars because my husband said his smoked wings that were on special were good! And like I said, the food always does *look* pretty. I hope it's better next time if we decide to try again.

Came here on a Tuesday evening for a night of trivia, pub grub and cold beer. (an aside, if…read moretasteless lager is your thing, you're in luck, that's all they have on tap. Better options in cans) The food was fine. It's a cool place, plenty of outdoor seating, two stages, indoor and out, pool tables, a long bar and only the faintest whispers of cigarette smoke. The servers and bartenders are super friendly. Service was great for us. Along with our trivia, we got thumping music, a drunk and very vocal contingency, impromptu karaoke, and bumping and grinding atop the bar. This was a Tuesday. If anybody ever tells me Oak Grove can't party, I'll tell em they're a lying SOB. Looking forward to the next trivia. I guess.

We were immediately greeted and we sat at the bar since nobody was there at 11:05. Our waitress was Giovanna, who was happy, energetic and engaging. I ordered the special; pork tenderloin with tater tots and my wife ordered the chicken sandwich. While we were waiting we talked with Giovanna about sparkling waters that we each liked and she went out to her car and got a La Croix Lemon Cello drink to try while we were waiting for our food. (She normally doesn't do this but it pertained to our conversation and was a gracious gesture). The food came out quickly and was presented beautifully. Both sandwiches were tender and juicy and cooked to perfection! We had no complaints, only compliments. We highly recommend this and we will be back! Thank you Giovanna for such great service and conversation.

Barbecue and a brewery?…read more Yes please. I've only visited for brunch, so that's what I'll write about. The menu has a few familiar faces - Eggs Benedicts, biscuits and gravy, breakfast sandwiches, chicken and waffles and more. I liked the biscuits and gravy, but I absolutely loved the Burnt Ends Eggs Benedict. The beers are solid and feature something for everybody. I wish they offered an extra seasonal, but I understand a brewing schedule that features quick moving draughts. A small note - please watch your check. Some of the prices in the computer don't match with the menu. The staff - who were awesome - were also apologetic and moved to make corrections when notified.

The wings are yummy as well as the brisket sandwich. It is one of my favorites. I don't think you can go wrong with anything here.
