There be so many flies in the joint
Love this place! Everyone ordered a different dish, and it was all great! We had chicken parmesan, pizza, seafood pasta, and meatballs. Will definitely return.

Our family recently held a rehearsal dinner here on the Square in Oxford. The staff catered to all our specific needs. The food was outstanding, especially the Great White Pizza! We couldn’t recommend this place more. Our out-of-state guests throughly enjoyed their experience! We never thought we could reserve a restaurant on the Square for such a reasonable price for a private gathering!
Wheelchair accessibility: Our party had a number of elderly member who were easily accommodated!

Absolutely the worst experience, we waited 3 hrs to be seated, to be told that they cannot seat 5 people..

I rarely give a review this low, however this place was the worst restaurant I’ve been to in a long time. First off, flies, gnats, flies, and more gnats!!!!!!! We sat by the window originally. We asked to be moved due to the surreal amount of flies everywhere. We moved midway back, and it didn’t take long for the gnats and flies to follow us. Personally, I would have left, however I was with a group from work. The server was great. I ordered the blackened chicken sandwich. The meat was incredibly dry. The thick toast it comes on was very much overly toasted. The chicken itself was about 1/8 of inch thick. The cheese on both pieces looked melted, however I literally could peel the whole piece of cheese off at once. It was like what you think of when you recall old school cafeteria grill cheese. The fries were okay. They were just basic, and they were very heavy on the black pepper. I did try a crawfish egg roll, as everyone at my table ordered them. They lacked seasoning and were very greasy to me. They all seemed to enjoy them though. I will definitely not return here. I’m not sure how they stay open. It’s no wonder we were the only customers there at 11:45 in the middle of the day. Don’t waste your time here. All of this for $16. They should visit Super Chix in Tupelo and try their blackened chicken sandwich and fries. It is fast food and it is 100 times better! We all literally swatted gnats and flies the entire time we were eating. I think it would have been better off to eat outside than in this place.
Parking: I had to park way down the road, but that’s downtown Oxford for you.
Kid-friendliness: I suppose

Rolls were hard as a rock and pasta was not good. Table behind us ordered mozzarella sticks, took two bites and ask for check. We were so disappointed ?

The service was TERRIBLE!!! Many people working and still no one could take orders and seat people. We were told MANY items on the menu were not available and once again, no one in the restaurant. FOOD WAS AWFUL!!! FOUR people from our group had to get their pasta reheated. The chicken was very chewy and hard to cut. Very disappointed and not at all what was expected!!
I would comment on the food but we couldn’t get past the rude server. We walked in with a party of 10 and at first he said he couldn’t seat us. We asked again and he said it would be at least 45 minutes. There were at least 6 open tables. His excuse was that he was the only server. We came down to Oxford Boure and we seated and served immediately.

Service was kind of slow. The appetizer we had ordered was never put into the system so we never got them. The steak sandwich was incredibly dry. The pizza was decent but overpriced. Overall, a very lack luster experience. I had read many good reviews before my visit to Oxford and I do not think that this place lived up to the hype of the reviews.

The food is horrible. Might as well be the McDonald’s of Italian food. Meatballs are rubbery, all the food is saturated in oil and grease, veggies undercooked, pasta under sauced, plus they don’t serve the correct pasta listed on the menu. For example, their “angel hair” is standard spaghetti noodles, not angel hair. AND THERE ARE FLYS EVERYWHERE! in your drink, on the table, landing on you, it’s disgusting. 10/10 would not recommend. You’d have to be lacking taste buds to enjoy the food and lacking sense to enjoy the atmosphere.

The cranberry-walnut-goat cheese trio on the salad is divine! Loved that vegetarians are very welcome here - many options (starters, salads, pizzas)
Really liked the interior: nice details, paintings, mirrors. Service was fast and attentive, listened to all requests.
Vegetarian options: Shareables, salads & entrées possible for vegetarians, good to go :)
