Terrible experience. We were so excited to celebrate our 21st anniversary here since we hadn't been in a while and thoroughly enjoyed our dinner the last time we went. This time, not so much. It was hard to celebrate while feeling completely disregarded by our server. Upon sitting down, we were greeted by a young man who was polite and asked if we wanted water. We never received that water until I asked when he came to get other drink ands possible appetizer orders. My husband got his beer, I didn't get my drink. About 5 minutes later, he came to get entree orders and said they were out of the berry marg I had ordered. We then placed our dinner orders. The WHOLE time we were there, our server sang so loudly to every overhead song that played, nevermind us and the other two tables there trying to enjoy our company. When our appetizers arrived, I asked for tarter sauce. He went to the kitchen, came back out to hostess podium, laughed and conversated with the bartender, went back to the podium, brought me my replacement order drink, and I had to ask him again for the tarter sauce, which he clearly forgot. Moving on, we get our entrees which were subpar to the likes of a frosty stand but with a much pricier tag. NOT once was there a 2-bite check in, a "how is everything tasting?" Completely unacceptable. To top things off, we are trying to finish my husband's beer, and our server (who never pre-bussed throughout our meal) began to do so by taking our water carafe from our table. Were we being rushed out?! We were there at 8 and left right at closing time. I overheard him ask the bartender if she turned off "the sign". She responded with "yeah, 25 minutes ago." 30 minutes prior to closing. Poor practice. I'm sure the owners wouldn't oblige to that or the obnoxiously loud kitchen music playing over the dining room music. We give a lot of leeway as we spent 20 years in the restaurant business, but this experience just simply couldn't be ignored. Pretty sure we won't be going back to spend our hard earned money. We were not appreciated or respected as guests. This was supposed to be a special night out without our little one.

Great neighborhood feel. Good service and atmosphere. The pot pie was very underwhelming and not prepared as a pot pie should. Very watery with small pieces of chicken and carrots. Looked like and unstrained chicken stock almost. For $29 I really expected a lot better.

Dont really care to spend $12 on a side salad but it was well worth it. Food was very fresh. Server was super friendly and seemed experienced. And i liked how the tables were decently spread out because i don't like being in small spaces and super close to people. Would def go back

If you've watched bar rescue, you will see the signs in this place. If it got a makeover, it would be closed in 6 weeks. It stays open because of the regulars. I assume everyone else is turned off by the service, the smell, and how the food looks.
The bartender was drinking. One of the waiters came behind the bar and pounded a drink. Great.
If you want a beer, it's probably OK. We saw the food and the prices for it and left.

To be honest this place was a spur of the moment pick. Thankfully the stars were aligned in our favor. The place had wonderful servers. Very polite and helpful. We enjoyed the food very much.

We sat at the bar and the barkers was s attentive, thoughtful and conversational. The fish tacos were THE BEST fish tacos I've ever had. The BBQ cheeseburger was massive and came with perfectly fried tots. Great food and environment. Was pricier than expected, but well worth it. Highly recommend ?

Ive passed by this place a lot and it always stood out to me. I finally decided to look into it. Their menu looked good and they had a lot of good reviews.
Seated promptly after entering. But after sitting down we noticed there were a few flies(I hate bugs) and the table had a lot of crumbs. We decided to get our food to go. After explaining why, our waitress took our drinks off the total(we ordered two modelos ). Which I appreciated at the moment.
After getting home and being excited to dig in, I was greeted with a burnt pork chop($31) that had already been cut into, bland veggies (though the cook on them were perfect) and a sauce that perhaps saved the dish but not by much. For the other dish(cowboy-up burger with dirty fries $27) the pork on the dirty fries was bland and dry. The burger bun is much too thin for the size of the burger. The pattie itself had an uneven cook.
The restaurant itself looks inviting. I loved the fireplace and the decorations, the simple flowers at the table were very cute to me. Plus I liked the smaller cups for drinking water. But it’s really the food that matters at the end of the day.
With that being said I wouldn’t personally recommend this place. And I feel horrible saying that because I was so excited to finally try this place!
Went for lunch. Food was tasty. Ordered the ceviche (not finely chopped-more chunky) and lettuce wraps (DELICIOUS). We also ordered a sandwich with tater tots and a burger with tots. Both big! Could split it with a partner. Finally the dessert is sooo good. Forgot to take a Pic but we have the brownie and the banana pudding bread - both served with ice cream, rich and delicious!
The staff was friendly enough.
Decor is not as fun or engaging, but food makes up for it.

This place is amazing! This morning we hosted a celebration of life for my mother in law who recently passed. Steve the owner helped coordinate a beautiful environment for friends and family to come and spend time together. The food was amazing, the staff were wonderful. I can’t express how grateful we are.

We found out we are only 5 minutes away from Smokey Oaks Tavern and boy are we glad we came for a visit. The food was very tasty , definitely recommend the pulled pork sandwich or the ribs. Service was prompt and friendly. Looking forward to our next visit.
