Oak Embers Tavern - CHESTERLAND

Great grill meat and they have vegan menu. I would recommend a few other pages, such as broken potatoes or new potatoes. Cornbread not to my wishes, but if you really like sweet corn bread, you will love it.

My first visit, I was super impressed. Very rustic and charming with a very good beer list and a wonderful brown liquor selection. I did a bourbon flight and some pulled pork and brisket. Woah so much food. Even the sides were delicious! Friendly staff and friendly patrons, I can't wait to go back.

How horrifically awful. The food is cold on arrival after a 45 minute wait. There?s some mystery sauce here that tastes like expired ketchup mixed with fish. The grits are so overcooked they?re hardly recognizable and my brother got a beer that was set down on the table so flat you could balance a marble on it Incredibly disgusting. edit: not surprising to see the owner doesn?t ?believe? me. No competent restaurant owner would allow such vile food to be served to people so I guess that extends to taking criticism as well. The food is so nasty and the service is slow. I don?t know how else to say it. I won?t be going back. Hopefully this spot gets replaced with something edible one day.

We stopped by for a late dinner and had Pan Fried Catfish, Crab Cakes, Caesar Salad, and IPA. Catfish was crispy and good but I didn't care for grits. Crab Crab cakes were good with spicy sauce on top. Service was good. Overall, it was good. I understand many places have difficulty but they charged a 7% Temporary Inflation Surcharge so it added up a bit.

Definitely one of the best in the area for its traditional smoked dishes. Lots of food too! Enjoyed it very much.
