Best burger and fry lunch I've ever had. Best dinner filet I've had in a long time.

Cool place! The tables are not crowded together and the view is super nice of the golf course. The service is professional, friendly, and attentive. We have not gone there during very busy times, which is typical for us.
I recommend the Mushroom Soup, Fish & Chips, TN Whiskey & Mushroom Swiss burgers, Crispy Brussels, Calamari, Spicy Cheese Curds and Pub Pretzels. When we eat out, our goal is to get delicious non chain restaurant food that we do not make at home. Since we do not eat out weekly, our expectations are high with regard to the total restaurant experience.
Trust me, check out 523 at Bent Oak. Enjoy!

I went here before seeing a show at the Lerner which is a total hack for theatre folk since it’s only 10 minutes away. Anyways, because it’s located in a golf course, we expected to be able to see some beautiful views. Unfortunately, the whole area with windows was being rented out.

There appeared to be maybe only 1-2 servers so service is somewhat slow. We had allotted 2 hours so we were fine but I wouldn’t come here in a rush.

As for the food I ordered the fish and chips as did everyone else at the table, it came with a side salad and is market price which ended up being about $20. It also comes with fries. The fish was super tender and the breading was very good. Fries had a nice garlic salt on them and the salad had homemade croutons. I also heard from other members of my party that the ribs are very good so I’ll be trying those next time I’m back.

Overall, I’ll be coming back. I’ll just make sure not to be in a hurry and can hopefully snag a good view next time!

Carp and Nikki were absolutely wonderful and Justin makes the best meat in the world you got to try the prime rib to die for!

I want this place to succeed, but this is the second time the service has been terrible. Group of about 20 women celebrating a big birthday with a reservation, so not a surprise for the management.. Only one server for the entire restaurant, who also was the bartender!!! Ridiculous. Just one more person would have helped.

Sunday brunch. Waited for our food for about an hour. Coffee is $4 and tasted terrible, way too strong. The Frittata doesn’t come with toast or anything and mine was gooey, as if they used liquid eggs that didn’t get cooked. I had them take it back, to cook it more, but it didn’t help. My husband had the egg burrito and said it was terrible. We brought everything home for our dogs to eat. I normally don’t write reviews and years ago we loved eating dinner at Bent Oaks. It’s not the same.

We had previously come as a family for the mother's Day brunch,we were not happy with the food as it was all cold and didn't like the " fake" powdered eggs ...we decided to give it another chance this past Sunday,there was 8:of us,no one else was in the dining room when we arrived,and it was menu dining which we thought might be better....we were surprised it was 4$ for a cup of coffee,then we waited an hour for our food which was mostly frittatas....my sister's was not cooked,so she sent it back,was still not cooked upon return but she ate it anyway,others food was cold,and the burrito wraps were like rubber...sorry to say we all decided we will not be back,we always loved this place before it became 523,had lots of family dinners here,but no more? our bill was around 200$,expected way better!

Had a reservation for 18 people for lunch
When we got there tgey had forgotten to look at reservation book. We pushed tables together ourselvrse. Arrived at 11:30. At 12 we didnt even have water. Finally got some drinks from bartenderaround 12:15. Apparently waitress was late. At 12:30 we still had not ordered.
One of our party finally got paper and wrote down all our orders. We have it to waitress who by now had arrived. Started getting food around 1:15 til 1:40. Didn't get bills til 2:15. Left at 2:30. This is ridiculous service! Sandwches were to have chips per menu..we all received fries. Waitress said they don't have chips also no bread for people with salads. This is now 18 women that are gonna give a bad recommendation for this restaurant.
