Once again, Snackbar was wonderful. I live in Oxford and have numerous choices, but Snackbar always delivers great food, great service, and wonderful ambiance — plus lots of parking (IYKYK) .

If you are lucky enough to go on a Tuesday night order the fried chicken, it is up there with Thomas Kellers Ad Hoc fried chicken. Service was impeccable. A totally delicious & memorable dinner!

Snackbar was our favorite restaurant when we were students, and today it still holds up as our favorite restaurant in Oxford. The vibe is great, everything we ordered was on point, and our server Johnny was fantastic. He really made the evening special with his recommendations and background on some of the menu items. We can't want to come back.

Went on a Thursday specifically for their new weeknight specials only to be sat late after having a reservation, and upon trying to order the special was told that they were sold out. The server was lovely and apologized, explaining that they had just started these nightly specials and are still trying to gauge how much to make. Dish was a pasta one and it was the only reason why we went there in the first place, so it was highly disappointing.

Upon arrival we were seated at the table 18” from the kitchen door. Understandable, had the restaurant been more than half full, but with a dozen open tables, it felt awkward. It took an hour to get our food. Appetizers were small and poorly presented. We ordered fries and the whipped ricotta dip. Fries were tasty but very small portion. Whipped ricotta was flavorless and came with a brick of burned bread... about 3 minutes post delivery waitress shows up with a steak knife to cut the brick with. Ordered a salad, sweet potato and apples, which sounded interesting... it was a wedge of ridichio, surrounded by 1” chunks of raw Granny Smith apples and cooked sweet potatoes. No dressing that we could recognize, it was odd. The scallops were well cooked, but then floated across a puddle of spicy bbq sauce... odd. We ordered a small portion of marinated crab claws, and it was truly tiny. 6 crab claws barely took up half a small ramekin. They were tasty, and obviously fresh, but tiny. Overall our server seemed irritated with the world.. we were excited to try a new restaurant in tien, and especially one related to city grocery. but we will not be back.

A long time favorite spot that is struggling to consistently produce quality food. While always accommodating when the wrong dishes are served or food is cold, flavor profiles and execution continue to be an inconsistent.

Had to wait on drink order, went through a glass of water that the hostess had served us - I believe there was a mix up on who had the table. Ordered light fairs, waiter wasn't very knowledgeable about menu ordered crab claws and they weren't cooked (they are listed under raw menu) but asked waiter and he wasn't sure. Overall not my best experience and this use to be my favorite place.

Enjoy solo dinner at the bar. The Fried Chicken special was exceptional! Even had the chocolate chess pie and that was phenomenal.

We were hopeful the post Bhatt cooking team at Snackbar would impress.Sadly,the two main dishes we tried recently were disappointing.The Poulet rouge was simply presented without a sauce and came pained with an insipid chickpea side.The cucumber ribbon salad added another discordant note.The fish and grits consisted in a overcooked cornmeal coated catfish swimming in a liquid bath of grits with yet more cucumber salad.
The food was great. We particularly liked the french onion soup, the duck croque monsieur, and the carrot cake.

The Snack Bar is my favorite restaurant in Mississippi! I live about 2.5 hours away. My brother lives in Oxford and works at The University of Mississippi. When I visit he goes ahead and makes a reservation at The Snack Bar. Tonight’s experience was faultless. Every thing they brought was creative and inspired. I had the Pan Roasted Poulet Rouge. It was topped with a cucumber ribbon salad and served over black beans & fried okra. I don’t even like okra and this was sublime. Thanks to all who helped out tonight, especially our server Johnny.

Enjoyed our visit here. I thought for a place called the Snackbar, it would be a casual spot, but it's a bit fancy on the inside. They have animal heads on the walls. It was also a bit pricier than I thought it would be. Ordered the oysters, which were fantastic as was the catfish dish. Drinks were pretty good as well. The staff was super friendly and attentive to our needs.

Without a doubt one of the best 5 restaurants in Oxford. Don't let the name fool ya. The Snack Bar is owned by the same guy that owns City Grocery and Big Bad Breakfast in Oxford. The menu offers wide choices. Our group had the fried chicken, lamb chops (the lamb was smaller than expected) & the Red Fish. All were absolutely delicious! Service is great and the wine selection is expansive. We try to eat at The Snack Bar whenever we're in Oxford. 5 ☆☆☆☆☆

I have frequented Snackbar for the past several years for happy hours, quick cocktail stops, and to get my fill of oysters! I can only speak on my experience at the bar, which has been excellent. I love browsing the cocktail menu, which has a great variety. I have tried many of their cocktails and they are well-made and flavorful. Their appetizers are good - a memorable one is the fried artichokes! The oyster experience at the bar is great - the bartenders are knowledgeable about the variety of oysters they have, as it changes frequently, and you can request them raw or charbroiled (the latter being my favorite). Servers are friendly and efficient.
