We visited Oat Soda for dinner this evening and ultimately do not recommend.
PROS: - Cards and board games available to play at our table with the kids - Extensive draft list - Tandem pretzels were delicious! - Good value and options for kids meals. Mac and cheese was good. Burger was OK. - mushroom burger was good - outdoor patio area looked nice if weather permits
CONS: - Be careful you don't get charged for a kids drink ($3.20), as it's included in cost of the meal ($8.00). We had to ask for the excess charges to be removed from our bill (and was given attitude) - If your child wants pickles on the their burger, go elsewhere. Apparently the owner does not allow modifications nor will they sell you a side of pickles - the chicken sandwich was not good. It was burnt and the meat itself was tough - the service started off strong (friendly, offered to split check, helped with a small spill) but then was slow and inattentive. Our food took quite awhile, we ordered waters and never got them, burgers were served without condiments, asked to order another round of drinks but waited too long so decided not to

If you like mushrooms you will LOVE their mushroom/swiss burger. ($13 for the burger only) It has Golden Oyster, Black Pearl Oyster, Beech, Enoki and Maitake mushrooms along with spices and shallots. Delicious and very filling. We sat next to the rolling door window with a view of the river. It was a 90 degree day so it was closed to keep the coolness in but I would have enjoyed the open view with a river breeze blowing thru. Maybe next time. We'd definitely go back here. The curated beer list was excellent and I had a 16oz. ($8.40) draft of American IPA from Fat Head's Brewery in Ohio called "Head Hunter". It was breathtakingly good and award winning. The parking is limited and shared with other stores and down a hill by the river. We parked a bit away and walked thru the Children's park and up the stairs. Well worth the small hike for all the good stuff here.

One of my favorite places. Creative menu, cocktails and good selection of beers on tap and draft.
Didn’t have food, opened @ 4pm, we were hungry @ 3 pm, after golf, ate elsewhere. Delirium Brewing was there to endorse their product. Excellent beer, I had the Trilium, wife had the Red. I asked if I could have my beer poured in a different glass. It was rejected by the bar-tenddress. She was unwavering, citing the bartenders oath for proper serving. REALLY?,… I Again, timidly asked her to another glass,…SHE REFUSED! NEVER AGAIN!,…can you afford to insult your patrons,….mover a glass?

Always an amazing selection of food (lots of vegetarian and gluten free!). Quick service and good wine menu!
Great service. The veggie boat sandwich is the best! Also the best NA beer selection I have ever seen.
Wonderful food, attentive service and a fun atmosphere ~ we’ll be back!
Wait staff was rude
An Impossible, Beyond or veggie patty should be offered as a sub on their burgers.
Nice little place for drinks and food.
Easily the best dinning option in Lake Orion. Creative menu.
