Oak Barrel Tavern - Sudbury

Heather S was incredibly accommodating during our first visit. She attentively considered all our food preferences, and we thoroughly enjoyed both the cheeseburger and haddock tacos. Her recommendations were perfectly on point—she truly knows her menu, including the drinks and wine selections. Thank you, Heather, for making our rare early dinner a fantastic experience. We even took home leftovers, so we didn't have to cook! We'd also like to thank Ashley for her assistance as we were leaving.

We ordered cocktails, but they tasted more like juice and had little to no alcohol. We tried to get the attention of our waitress, Kate, but it took her a while to come over. In the meantime, my husband took a couple of sips to see if stirring the drink would help, but it didn’t improve the taste. When Kate finally arrived, my husband mentioned that the cocktail was watery and weak. Instead of addressing the issue, she responded with, "So what do you want me to do?" When he suggested that she fix the problem, she curtly said he could order a new drink—but for a charge. Her attitude was quite rude, and she lectured him on why she couldn’t just give away free drinks. As a local doctor and my husband a lawyer, we frequently dine out with friends and our organization, and we certainly don’t expect free drinks. This encounter significantly soured our mood for what was supposed to be a lovely anniversary dinner. We definitely won’t be returning, and we will advise our local friends and colleagues to steer clear of this restaurant. There are plenty of nice places to choose from. To be fair, the food wasn’t bad.

Fantastic atmosphere, excellent service, and delicious food! The craft beer on tap is also a great perk. Plus, there are plenty of bourbon-focused options. I’ll definitely be returning without a doubt!

This is a decent enough place. Service is consistently slow. Staff are super nice when they are with you. Food is well prepared and flavor filled. Our waitress was working both inside and outside which diminished her ability to be timely. Too many staff atthe reception desk. I had the raspberry iced tea two glasses they did not have a consistent level of flavor. An averagerestaurant for a good meal at a decent price point.

First time here, will definitely be back. The sriracha bourbon chicken wings are a MUST have if you visit. After trying the wings, we could resist adding the sauce to our burgers and our Caribbean Cajun Shrimp bowl. Our waitress (Kaylee? wasabsolutely the best. So attentive and sweet. After the awkward stand off-ish ?greeting? we received from 2 of the hosts uponentering, I almost decided to leave. However, our waitress?s pleasant demeanour kindness truly made up for it. Amazing wings.Decent drinks. Great service by the waitresses.
