It was a busy night and they seated us fast in a booth. The waiter came to ask about drinks soon after. He was fast, attentive and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was huge. Lots of tables , booths and bar tables. Big TVs in the bar with the games on.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was amazing. Had grilled salmon tacos and I was there was more. My friend had a pizza and it was great as well. The chips were so good too! I will be coming back to try more of the menu . read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Aubrey's is almost always packed, which makes it seem like a standout spot in our small town.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] After visiting a few times, though, I've found it to be... pretty average. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They do offer outdoor seating, which is nice, although I'm not sure yet if it's dog-friendly--something I'll have to check out next time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We usually sit at the bar, and one thing I've learned is that you need to be very specific with your drink order if you have preferences. For example, if you order a dirty martini without clarification, be prepared for a glass that tastes almost entirely like olive brine. Asking for "light" on the olive juice is a must. Even a standard vodka martini doesn't automatically come with a lemon twist, which feels like a small but noticeable miss. Service has consistently been solid--friendly and attentive, about what you'd expect. The food, however, has been hit or miss. I tried the FGTs twice, hoping the first experience was just an off night, but they still weren't memorable enough to order again. The steak tips appetizer has been the one standout for us--really flavorful--but if you're planning on ordering a steak entrée, doubling up on steak feels a bit redundant. The salads that come with the meals are reliably good, and the steaks themselves are decent, especially with the loaded baked potato on the side. That said, I ordered a fish dish on one visit that was forgettable enough that I can't even recall exactly what it was--just that I wouldn't order it again. Overall, Aubrey's is perfectly fine, but it hasn't wowed me. At this price point, I think there are better options around town. We might stop back in from time to time if we're in the mood for something different. read more

Stopped by during a rainstorm for lunch. I chose to sit at the bar as I was dining alone. Danielle was my bartender and very sweet, conversational and helpful. I ordered a glass of Chardonnay and a strawberry salad. The chicken on my salad was cooked perfectly and everything paired so nicely. Truly a perfect lunch. read more

We had an awesome dining experience here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We walked in and notice they had both indoor and outdoor seating, was a beautiful day so we decided on outdoor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had open air inside the bar area(we chose this as you could feel the heat of the sun) & outdoor at tables covered by bright yellow umbrellas.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waiter was fast to appear, attentive & very pleasant, & gave us menu's and take our drink order. The food was delicious, cooked perfectly and seasoned equally as well. I'd been to Aubreys before in different locations, but this was my favorite. read more

We've been in oak ridge for 2 years now and just never went to an Aubrey's. Not sure why. Came tonight with a friend in town before the movies. Garrett was our server. He was awesome. Attentive, answered questions, drinks never went below half. We ordered 2 types of burgers and the rattlesnake pasta. Nothing was left on the plates. Food came out hot and fast! Not sure what we expected coming here, but all expectations were blown out of the water. read more

I stopped in for the first time while visiting the area with my family. When in this part of Tennessee, Aubrey's is one of their go-tos so it was a no-brainer we stop in for dinner our first night in town. My sister raved about the Hawaiian Ribeye, which sounded delicious, so she and I both ordered it as our entrees. My mother went with a pasta dish. When our dinners arrived, I found my steak (which I ordered medium) to be more medium well on its way to well done. I kindly asked our waiter to rectify the situation which he said they promptly would. In the meantime, my sister gave me a bite of her steak so I could "look forward to what's coming" and that bite was DELICIOUS. Her steak was cooked to medium perfection and had a delicious marinade...obviously, I made her immediately give me a second bite. I was surprised when in just a few minutes later, our server was back with a new steak and fingers crossed this one would be prepared correctly. When he placed it in front of me, my first thought was that it looked more like a pork chop than a steak....when I cut into it my server and I both realized at almost the same time that this steak was practically raw when cut into....so back to the kitchen again. After a few minutes, the manager came out to speak to our table (which totally wasnt necessary) and offered to bring out a side or appetizer while I waited for a third steak. I told him that wasn't necessary - just wanted my steak. I'd been nibbling on bites of my mom's pasta (which was nothing to brag about) and my sister's steak (which was still delicious) by that point and didnt want to get too full. By the time my third steak had come out, my mother and sister were almost done with their meals. This time, the waiter didnt bother to stick around and see if the steak was cooked right...I think he'd given up at this time PLUS the manager had informed us it would be taken off the bill so i guess they figured what else can they do at this point...needless to say, the third steak still wasn't cooked right. On this go round, half the steak was medium and the other half medium well. Plus, there was no marinade and the scorched gas flavor of the grill was the only thing you could taste....having been nibbling on my sister's all night I knew what it should taste like and that was NOT it. Needless to say, that steak too was left uneaten. I appreciate that Aubrey's tried to rectify the situation and maybe it was just an off night, but I know that I personally will not be returning to an Aubrey's while in Tennessee. read more

I tried Aubrey's in Oak Ridge back in '22, and I have to admit I was not impressed. The food was acceptable and the service was good, but I did not care for the beverage options. As a diabetic, I avoid sugary soda, etc so I asked what my options were and was told it was Diet Coke. I find Diet Coca Cola to be vile, even among diet sodas, so that was a no go. Many local restaurants have begun offering Coke Zero, a much more palatable alternative, but not them. I settled for iced tea. The tea was not great, as is often the case, so I told them I'd likely come more frequently if they improved their beverages. All that being said, I recently tried again and found that they do now carry Coke Zero. And the meal was excellent (maybe because I wasn't disappointed in the soda, maybe it just improved). Regardless, of why, I can now say it was an excellent experience, either way the dinner rolls being a standout in my memory. I shall not wait three and a half years to return. read more

This restaurant was a A lovely unexpected find while visiting Oak Ridge, TN. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Busy, but not overly so.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They don't accept reservations but we were seated immediately. We enjoyed wine and beer while we waited for our meals. We had plenty of time to chat and socialize while waiting. Everyone agreed that their orders were fantastic. I had the Haystack Pasta, my spouse had a huge steak, my daughter had a generous side salad followed by the outstanding shrimp skewer special on rice along with the supremely tasty Mac-N-Cheese. The spicy Rattlesnake Pasta was a huge hit for the 4th in our party. We were there around 8 PM and were so hungry that I didn't think to take pictures. We just dove in! We followed our meal with Key Lime Pie and Peanut Butter Pie - both delightful. Service was stellar and the wait staff were super friendly and happy to be there. We did start our evening with a rather grumpy person. We requested a new server and everything was great from that point. Life is too short and restaurants are too expensive to put up with a bad attitude. Sadly, Grumpy missed out on a $40 tip. Our bill for 4 people, drinks, tons of food, dessert was $200 and worth every penny. read more

While visiting family in Oak Ridge I discovered Aubrey's . As a first timer here , what drew me was their menu and its diversity in options. Lots to choose from, which was perfect for picky eaters. Our server was very friendly and anticipated our needs by keeping our drinks filled without asking , clearing empty plates , offering to-go cups and just generally providing great service without hovering . I ordered the 14 oz Hawaiian ribeye that is marinated in pineapple , soy and ginger. The marinade really made the flavor profile . It was savory with a hint of sweetness which I found to be perfectly balanced! I enjoyed it so much that I dined at Aubrey's a second time before departing TN. The only critique I have is , the side house salad was topped with potato chip crumbles . It's on me that I did not read the full description and the salad come with a TON of these crisps so if you don't want chips on your salad make sure to 86 them when ordering . I highly recommend Aubrey's and I will definitely dine here again ! read more

Customer service at the carry out area. Don't say u will bring someone their order then don't then lie about it why u didn't bring it. Weird

We had a fairly big group the other day, 10 I think. The service was great and the food came in a timely manner. We were celebrating a dear friend who had just spent 3 1/2 months in a rehab learning to walk again. Our server, Shadon (spelling?) , was so sweet with her! I told the manager that Shadon should get a RAISE! We could not have asked for anything else! read more

LIES, LIES, LIES. The front staff told us there was a 30 minute wait. We said we would leave. All of a sudden, there was only a 5 minute wait. 15 minutes lates, I inquired at the front and was told it would be a while, Reminded him of his commitment. He didn't care. I asked what he would do. He said nothing. Next, the manager shows up - tells me they are "doin gtheir best." REALLY???? LYING to you customer is the best you can do? Then he tells me his front staff is only 16 years old, they don't know better. REALLY - why are they there? and it would be a great time to teach them not to lie. I left the place. Won't be back. Previosuly, at a different Aubreys, I was lied to (twice) by the server (who never turned in my order, but lied to me about it - finaly confessed that he lied when I brought the manager over). The manager ther comped my meal. LIS, LIES, LIES read more

Great restaurant all around. Probably the best in Oak Ridge. Great staff, food selection, and relatively decent pricing.

Called to place a to-go order. Was transferred to that counter and no one picked up. Did this dance one more time before placing an online order, which seems to be much easier. I arrived right at the estimated time and it wasn't quite done yet. After sitting about 15 minutes, I checked on our order and it had been sitting in the kitchen. The poor workers seemed overwhelmed and understaffed, so I have sympathy. However, our food itself was a bit disappointing. Cheddar burger(medium) with fries-under cooked burger. The burger was so rare that it leaked blood all over the bun, making it soggy. The fries were great! Filet bites small plate-cold, overcooked. Very few gnocchi. Needed salt. House side salad with balsamic vinaigrette-large portion and good dressing and cheese. Parmesan spinach-needed salt but otherwise tasty! Squash casserole- hubby didn't care for the texture, which was mushy like soft stuffing. I liked it and it's subtle sweetness. Trick yourself into thinking it's a healthy veggie dish. ;-) We had previously tried this location and it was also a bit of a bummer. Not sure when we will be back. For the cost, we hoped for a better experience. Perhaps we will try dine-in next time or try a different location. read more

In town for business hotel staff suggested Aubrey's [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is good and the staff very friendly and quick.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Several beers to choose from also a good wine selection. I was able to sample a couple of the local brew beers before deciding. I ordered the sirloin and thick cut fries with a house salad. I know inflation is real but to add fee to have a salad with a steak I thought was ridiculous. But it's ok I know things are stupid with Bidenomics. The reason for the low rating though is due strictly to the quality of the steak. For starters the cut was bad. I ordered a sirloin medium rare and it was one of the toughest steaks to cut. This thing was full of gristle. It was cooked to my specifications it was just so tough and hard to chew. But to make matters worse the flavor of the steak was not great . The fries were ok but nothing fantastic. Maybe the other food items are better and maybe the steaks are even better. Maybe I'm just the unlucky guy to get the poor cut of meat. read more

Food was good but the waiter didn't offer me bread but they offered other tables bread. There was also a large hair (not mine) in my food :(

Salads were filling and flavorful. Good service. Only thing I would like different from my last visit would be that the bread is warmed.

I was visiting the area and our hotel recommended that we try this local restaurant. We went around 630pm on a Friday night, the hostess said it would be an hour wait. My friend and I walked back out to our car, to think about some other options. We went back in to ask about how long it would take for carry out, then the hostess mentioned people had been leaving , so we could get seated in 5 mins. We were so excited to sit inside and enjoy eating at the restaurant vs carry out. We started out with the spinach queso appetizer. I love spinach dishes and it was tasty. Then I ordered the cheeseburger, no bun, with a side of squash casserole. I was excited to get the squash casserole because that's not a common side option you can typically get at a restaurant. The squash casserole was good. My friend ordered the catfish with a side of sweet potato fries. She said the batter of the fish was good but tasted like it had sugar in it. Our waitress was friendly and professional. It was a busy Friday, so took awhile to get water refilled. read more

Unfortunately, we did not have the best experience here. The waitstaff and host were very nice. But, once we were seated, things went down hill. The food took very long to deliver and the soup was cold when we got it. We had ordered a couple beers at the beginning and they weee never delivered. We sent the soup back and when it returned it wasn't much warmer. The house salad was ok, the lettuce was crisp, but there was a puddle of water at the bottom of the bowl. The burgers looked pretty good (others in our party ordered them). But, the service was slow and sloppy, the food was bland and not hot. read more

This place *just* missed really good. First, the hostess on the night we were there clearly didn't want to be there. Fine, some people have an off day. Then they promote their "thick potato chips" which sound unique and fun, but they're really only disc shaped french fries. They have really nothing in common with chips other than their shape. Maybe they were going for chips as in fish and chips. Don't know, but certainly underwhelming. Lastly the food (fried chicken and steak) was not seasoned at all. Once we piled on the salt and pepper, it was good. Dessert was great. Service was excellent, and it's a nice interior. And packed on a rainy Wednesday, which was impressive. read more

Largely, the food is usually pretty good. The crab cake today was a bit greasy, but had a nice overall flavor. The salad was brown pieces. The service has seen it's better days. They weren't that busy. Once our food was delivered, mine was incorrect but we didn't get another visit feom the waitress until check time. We had to ask for refills. I realize wait staff is stressed but the night before my friends had went and said the service was great. Overall however, a great place to eat as far as food. read more

I enjoyed my salad, but everything else was very bland. Just a little bit of salt would have gone a long way. The bun on my daughter's hamburger was hard as a rock. I used to enjoy Aubrey's. Hopefully, this was just an off night. read more

Towns this size rarely enjoy places this well run, well staffed, and with a white tablecloth-quality menu, to boot. We loved our recent lunch at Aubrey's and the lovely service we received--engaged and just enough engaging to attend to our needs and make our experience warm and welcoming. Our food was on point, served fresh, and in perfect portion sizes. The dining room is a bit cavernous, but the bar and patio were swelling with folks. We'll hurry back, and Oak Ridgers should, too, else it's a 16-mile drive to dining this fine. read more
