So I've eaten here a couple times. The bar is pretty cool. The staff is pretty friendly but the food I don't know man. The portions are pretty small for the price you pay and I don't think they have any salt in the kitchen. Good for events though

No coffee, no tea, menu items that were out of stock. Brisket and ribs ordered were less than average at best. Staff were good though.

Upon arriving at literally took somebody 10 minutes to get us to a seat. We were there at 3:45 in the afternoon on a Saturday so really not a lot of people there at all. We have to be seated at the bar and we waited another 10 minutes for somebody not to check in with us not to give us water not to do literally anything at all. At this point we decided to up and leave as we're walking out the door. Terrible experience wasting my time I will never return there again went to the barbecue place down the road that's in the strip mall.

The food might be great but it is WAY over priced. I came in to grab a late lunch to go (4pm)…I got a 2 meat plate with one side and it was $38…I waited over 20 min to get it.

Also, no hostess when I came in. There was a couple waiting ahead of me to be seated. I watched someone walk in and then turned around and walked out because of us waiting. Then another couple walked in and walked right back out when they saw a whole list of “sold out” items. It doesn’t seem like this business knows what they are doing.

45 minute wait for them to be sold out of brisket chicken and pork

Our first visit was so disappointing! The service was very very slow, though the restaurant was empty on a Saturday night. They were out of so many menu items at 5 pm I’m not sure how they even stayed open! The potato salad was processed and I really don’t think they were real potatoes. The Mac and cheese was that food service stuff made out of a yellow substance. The meat was good but everything else made it not worth the price.
Most likely will not return. Fresh sides and solving staffing issues would certainly go far to help your business!

We ordered food online around 8:30PM, pretty close to closing. When we picked up the food we realized that we were missing a few items, probably due to the team being busy with clean up. But when we inquired them about the rest of our order, they were very kind and apologetic. I believe Ashley was the person helping us out. 10/10 service. Will definitely come back! Food was great as well.

Out of 3/4 of the entire menu and out of most of their beers. No brisket, no pulled pork, no wings, no sausage! How can you stay open with just coleslaw? Service was aweful and it took 20 minutes to get ONE beer!

I was hungry so ordered both the briscuit and pulled pork. Both were pretty good. Tried the Mac and cheese. It was alright. Also tried the green beans and potatoes, those were good. Alexis was friendly and helpful with suggestions.

“German Tourist Discovers the Holy Grail of BBQ in Oak Harbour”

Guten Tag, meine Damen und Herren. As a German, I thought I knew meat. We have Wurst, we have Schnitzel, we have entire festivals dedicated to beer and pork. But then… BBQ happened. More specifically: Orlando’s Southern BBQ.

At first, a tragic tragedy: no beef brisket! No pulled pork! My inner Bavarian cried into his Weißbier. But then… they brought me the chopped brisket. Freunde, it was like Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, but in meat form. Juicy, smoky, rich — I nearly stood up and sang Freude schöner Götterfunken.

The ribs? Ach du lieber, so juicy I needed an engineering degree just to keep them from sliding off the bone. The chicken? Moist and tender like it had been raised on Mozart lullabies. And then the sauces — vier Stück! Four of them! Each one a completely different adventure: spicy, sweet, tangy, smoky. It was like going on a BBQ world tour without leaving the table.

Side dishes? My Oma would slap me if she knew I said this, but the cole slaw and potato salad might actually be better than hers. The baked beans sang a love song, the fries were handmade like precision German engineering, but with extra soul.

And the waiter… mein Gott. Attentive, helpful, and friendlier than a Labrador retriever at Oktoberfest.

So, five stars, zehn Punkte, Michelin tires, everything. If you are in Oak Harbour and you do not eat here, you are basically committing a culinary crime.
