Lots of beer and whiskey options!!! Food was AMAZING. Inside is really cool. It was a Monday not so not very busy but still quite a few tables filled. Our waitress was amazing as well. Would definitely go back if we're in the area again. read more

Me and the rest of my party of 7 arrived unexpectedly on a Saturday evening. We were greeted warmly and the staff immediately jumped into action to accommodate our group. Despite already having a decent amount of people in the space, they put a nice table together quickly. While we waited many of us took advantage of the well stocked bar. This was an experience in itself. Once seated our waiter, Jack came around to check on us. Jack was attentive, helpful, and on top of his game all night. If getting our table 2 hours ahead of close was a shock to him, he never let on. Top notch service here. I ordered the Duck Confit Mac and Cheese, which was amazing. A nice smoky note to the cheese balanced with a warm creamy texture. I also tried the crab balls, frites, duck fat popcorn, and calamari. Don't judge, we sampled around the table a bit. Everything was delicious. Like extra good! I cannot go back to regular popcorn ever! This morning my phone was flooded with everyone trying to plot our next trip here. It's that good. read more

After riding the bike trail, my friend and I began looking for someplace for a decent meal. While looking online, The Oak Barrel caught our eye and we decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed! The food was excellent! We started off with the cauliflower appetizer which was beyond delicious. I then had the Big Tex Salad and substituted shrimp for the protein. The huge salad was filling and very flavorful. Not one regret! Our server was very attentive and helpful in explaining the menu and making some recommendations. Since they smoke their own meat, the restaurant had a very pleasant smoky fragrance. The decor was also very comfy. I give high marks all around for The Oak Barrel. I am definitely going return the next time I am in the area. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a very good meal at a reasonable price. read more

Down to Earth Server After a BAD DAY, Maria and I were looking for an app and a drink. Auston B greeted us. And was able to take us on a little roller coaster of the palate. We have been here a couple of times and were sadly disappointed that the duck fat popcorn is gone. My GF had a nice glass of rose, but I was hankering for a cool bourbon, like the ocean reserve. I chose the hibikki, but it was out until the holidays. Instead Auston suggested the Blue moon instead which was like Peaches On my face. We took the Overboard idea and devoured the platter with no leftovers. Auston almost sold us on some desserts but our bellies were way too full. read more

We arrived to a packed restaurant, but we were seated within 15 minutes. The inside of the restaurant is always interesting. Even though it was busy it didn't feel crowded. They have a good selection of draft beers and plenty of whiskey and bourbon to choose from. We order our usual Dr. Pepper pork shank. They make one of the best in town. Another good place for pork shank is hofbrauhaus. read more

Cauliflower tacos were my favorite. Was an experience. Pricey but enjoy variety of twist read more

Wow! This is the kind of place that I wish I discovered sooner. I also wish I lived closer so I could come here more often. The menu was overwhelming (in a good way) with so many delicious sounding options. We wanted to try everything! There is plenty of outdoor seating- there is even a fire pit! The inside is enormous- it even has a second level. The decor is awesome. Even the bathrooms are cool! Our server was very friendly and gave us great suggestions. We decided to try the chicken and waffles, pork tacos, open faced pork sandwich on jalapeño cornbread, a soft pretzel, and truffled pomme frites. Everything came out promptly. The portion sizes were perfect and everything was so delicious! We had such a great experience! I can't wait to come back next time I am in town to try out more of the menu! read more

Always like the Oak Barrel. First time sitting out on the patio and the music selection was bizarre and a bit too loud because of the type of music. Music should enhance an experience not distract. Food and drinks were good and service always exceptional read more

Their food is excellent. It's a very relaxing and happy environment. We NEVER had bad service there. The staff is wonderful !! Great bartenders, and one in particular is, JAY , who specializes in martinis, my favorite ! he definitely knows what he's doing !!! Thank you Jay for your great service !!!! read more

Went on a Thursday evening with two coworkers. Our waiter was very very nice, not very attentive which wasn't terrible but sometimes it felt like we were flagging him down. The fries appetizer was really good, flavorful. We ended up getting the "chicken tenders" off the kids menu and it was literally just grilled chicken, not what we were expecting at all. I did get a side of Mac n cheese though which was very tasty. As for drinks, the bartender kept on pouring incorrect beers. I didn't end up saying anything because what I got was fine but I know the table next to us was having issues. I also feel like their drinks are slightly overpriced. Patio was nice and they have the like "garage door" walls where they can have you be exposed but covered. Overall experience was fine but not in a rush to come back tomorrow. read more

The service was mediocre. They weren't that busy when we arrived and it took about 10 minutes before we were asked if we wanted something to drink. We had to flag him down to actually get water. Cocktails were pretty good. The place is beautiful but it is super cold by the doors. The food looked delicious but all the food they brought out was cold. It took a long time to get the food so we didn't send it back. Disappointed because I saw the reviews from a month ago thinking that the owners must have seen the reviews too, but not the case. Also, maybe need to remind servers they should not have their thumbs in the food on the plate. Trying to give a place a chance after a few bad reviews but sadly, they are not worth going to. Find somewhere else! read more

Came to Ohio for work and found this restaurant by random. The decor and atmosphere is a 10/10, but the food is the best food I've had in my life. The service is top notch and caring. I have never wanted to thank a chef/ management at a restaurant more than I have while dining at this restaurant. I'm from GA and I would drive 10 hours back just to have it again! read more

I would not order DoorDash or takeout services from this restaurant. Paid $24 for a chicken salad only to receive the chicken and not the salad. I called the store and they were aware the salad part was not provided and said they have it there if I want to come pick it up. Unfortunately, I am at work and cannot leave, hence DoorDash. I asked to speak to manager to initiate a refund and waited on hold for a moments to find out there was no manager on site and nobody to speak to regarding an error the restaurant made. Unsure how restaurants function without leadership/manager present. I wish I would have also got the name of the woman who answered the phone as she was unhelpful and had terrible customer service. read more

came for lunch with coworkers! beautiful restaurant and their service was fantastic. I ordered a lobster roll for lunch because I just had one the night before & wanted to do a comparison. this was on another level. they ground up the lobster meat, mixed it in with the sauce and celery and carrots I think....and put micro greens on top. was interesting & not bad. everyone seemed to enjoy their food & we all left very full. read more

First time at The Oak Barrel today for lunch with my honey. So many thing to choose from, that we decided to try the Duck confit Mac and cheese the Ahi tuna fish taco and the Maine lobster roll. The Mac and cheese was awesome such flavor, the salad that came with the dressing had nice sweet taste to balance out the fatty content of the Mac and cheese. The Ahi tuna delicious with the soy Chile glaze, and the slaw added that crunch. Now the lobster roll was disappointing not enough lobster pieces, too much Mayo and celery, did not get that lobster flavor. I've had better ones. They also had a great choice of beer,wines and bourbon. And I must say that the service was exceptional!! We never had to wait for anything and she (Lauren) was very pleasant. We Will Be Back!! read more

Double date - suggestion by other couple. Superb food!! Superb service too!! We started with a bowl of the Duck Fat popcorn - (had to try it! - none of us had ever seen that on a menu before) as well as Onion Rings. A "Yum" for both! Next, the entrees. I had Mussels, mmmmm mmmmm!! My bride had pulled pork, not the best ever, but not that bad! Our friends had Chicken n Waffles and the Croque Monsieur pizza - both very tasty. Great weather, server kept waters full and suggested the pizza. Plenty of outside seating & just a marvelous night all around. read more

Came here on a Saturday night and we got seated right away at the bar side. If we had to wait, they had a large fireplace in front of the restaurant but glad we got seated right away. They had a huge glass wall to display all the liquor options they had. They also had a huge wine selection too. They didn't have a great cocktail menu and it was limited but tons of whiskey options! We ordered the baked feta dip which was super hot when it came out! I order the Cod and my husband got the pork chop. The leek mash potatoes were phenomenal and was a generous portion. My Cod was cooked perfectly! My husband loved his pork chop. It had just enough sauce to not overwhelm it. After every bite you can taste a little hint of smoke. My husband also got a beer flight. Well it wasn't an actual flight but they come in 6oz pours and it was nice to try some of the more expensive beers for $5-6. The waitress was attentive and friendly but it was a little hard to hear. read more

Wow. Just wow! The food here is top notch. The beer selection is great. The service is awesome. The atmosphere is so fun, and mature. Go, especially if you're with a group before or after a movie at the Cinemark. I went to watch a movie at the Cinemark next door and decided to stop in for dinner before and I was blown away. Started off with the Dragon's Milk draft which is one of my favorite stouts. Decided to go with the Dr. Pepper Braised Pork Shank because it had good reviews and my server also stated that it was her personal favorite. IT WAS AMAZING! Fall of the bone tender. Sweet, juicy, and packed with flavor. It pair incredibly with the smashed potatoes underneath and the salad placed on top. The bartending group was very active and engaging. Asking people what they would like at appropriate times while also keeping the atmosphere light and fun. I will definitely be returning with a group to try even more items on the menu. During the fall, the fire pit outside would also probably be an incredible place to stand, chat, and have a cold beer. Well done. read more

During my visit to Cleveland, a friend of mine recommended this place. When I arrived, I was impressed with the setup. There is a bar with TVs in case you wanted to watch the game. Or you can sit on a table for lunch of dinner with friends. There is a movie theater nearby in case you are in the mood for a movie. I was really impressed with the service and the food quality and value. Ordered the club sandwich which in itself was enough for two. I want to give a special shout out to CJ, Victoria and George for their exemplary service and hospitality. read more

The Duck Fat Popcorn is great. The food is pretty good. The atmosphere is rustic smoke house chic. The service was a bit slow, but we were there on a laid back Sunday afternoon, so that may have been a factor. Overall, a solid place for a couple drinks and a meal. B read more

Great food service is wonderful. The turkey burgers are the ish best I've had would definitely recommend

Thunderstruck The Oak barrel was the only place with power one day.... We were lucky enough to get KK who also answers to Lindsey as our server. She was so kind to us while the internet was not working. On top of it, after the computers started working, she sold us an amazing platter from the smoker that holds a million pounds of meats. The 6 of us experimented later with various 6ounce craft beers, but not before stuffing our bellies with tiramisus, Bundt cakes, and fudge brownies that have zero calories due to the fact that there is a summer Olympics going on. We will be back soon! read more

Krystal Riley was excellent! She was pleasant, entertaining, and attentive. Great food and service.

Wife and I tried this for the first time, We love the warm atmosphere and our waitress Stacy was PHENOMENAL, if you want the best ask for Stacy she knows everything you will need to know about Oak Barrel. My wife got the Ribs she loved them and I got the Brisket Dinner so good tender not a bit dry but juicy fatty yummyness! Stacy you rock and congratulations on your engagement !!! read more

While waiting for our food, a worker proceeded to spray bug spray around 2 windows less than 10 ft away from our table. There was a cloud looming over the tables in the area. There were also dead bugs in the windowsill right next to our table. We also witnessed workers standing atound the doorway to the kitchen eating...one with a bag of potato chips and one with a plate of food. We ordered the fish and chips and when the food arrived, the fish was very hot and the fries were ice cold. We did not get fresh fries until after we were done with the fish. Food was good however, we will not be returning due to the aforementioned failures. read more

The decor is rustic modern farmhouse with large Edison bulb chandeliers hanging overhead. They have a cozy fireplace and a huge whiskey collection. They are all about the locally sourced ingredients, a farm to table kind of place. My hubby and I were promptly seated and our waiter Tony was fantastic, on point with everything. The tomato bisque was very tasty, just right. Not too thick, not too thin and well balanced. The Canadian Walleye Po'boy was very overpriced at $15 for sandwich and fries. It was mediocre, a great attempt though. The Dr. Pepper braised pork was great. Fall off the bone goodness. It's great food but quite overpriced overall. Maybe a better place to go for drinks and apps. read more

The Oak Barrel - Restaurant - Brasseries Near Me - Valley View, Ohio

Really good happy hour specials (3pm - 6pm) The snacks are quite large. We got onion rings and fries. The onion rings were a 3/5. The breading was good but the onions didn't have a great taste. The fries were a 3/5 too. Lots of cheese (maybe more than fries) but the truffle flavor was weak. It was taco Tuesday so I went with two tacos - 1 chicken and 1 vegetarian. Both were just ok. Kind of bland and no flavor really stood out. Maybe it was because the soft shells were cold and the cheese not melted? Again, not bad, just nothing special. Our service was great and the overall restaurant atmosphere was also nice. We would go back but probably just try different dishes! read more

This place is always a solid 4-4.5. Clean, friendly and timely. Wait staff is always great! I don't know who the bartender was that night but they made a damn good old fashion. Been here a half a dozen times, and will never turn it down as an option. read more

I am a huge fan and particular of pretzels, and The Oak Barrel definitely did not disappoint, especially with their warm beer cheese sauce on the side! My wife and I were happily surprised to bump into out marching band server at the KC. To this day, KDK had never disappointed. She steered us immediately to the warm pretzel and took liberties of choosing a flight of beers for me, and a round of rieslings for my wife. I tried to convince KDK to slip me the bourbon beurre Blanc recipe for those tri-tips. She said that was illegal, but hinted that all that is required is copious amounts of butter, heavy cream, and bourbon. We tried to order the crème brûlée for dessert, but since it was out of stock, my wife convinced me to grab an extra serving of the pretzel instead and was happy to make that choice! read more
