This was such a pleasant experience! The Mac bites were so good and the burgers especially were DELICIOUS! The service was perfect and I will definitely be coming back. read more

Great food . Ambiance nice . Wait was a little long but it was a busy Saturday nite in a college town

I'm only being generous with 3 stars because this place usually bangs for a nice lunch. This time, however, one member of my party had a raw chicken sandwich. Like, how is that possible? Not even exaggerating I'm being so fr yall. Also, wings were lowkey buns. My burger was fine but kind of unseasoned. Maybe the JV team was in that day? Anyway, great vibe in there with nice staff. Would go again because of my past experiences.... Cautiously. Love and Honor, Bob B. read more

Cool ambience. Very old-school feeling dive bar. The food is very good and a nice break from the normal. The menu has a few quirky items which will be fun to try over time. read more

Mac & Joe's - Delicious pizza sub with chips. Definitely my new go to when I drop off my son in Oxford.. - American Near Me - Oxford, Ohio

Disappointing sums it up. I had the Miami tradition. It was so cold and took forever to get our food. Server only came by to take order and to drop off the check. Some other person brought out the food. Tater tots were amazing. Bathrooms are gross, no soap. I really wanted to like this place more. read more

Use to love this place in the Todd days. It's a solid okay now. Prices are just too high for what I'm expecting. The Miami tradition is a solid choice and the burgers are good. Servers are all working hard and the food is prompt. Again, the price to quality doesn't meet my standard. read more

My coworkers and I came late one evening after recruiting on campus that day. Even though it was so late, we were still greeted warmly and seated quickly. The waitress was very nice and brought our beers quickly. They have a large on tap selection, which made it hard to decide at first what I wanted. As for food selection, they have the typical bar flare. I got a salad after a day of heavy eating. It was good but nothing spectacular, but the tator tots my coworker shared with me from her sandwich were awesome! All in all, the place was good and we would come back, but the biggest reason as to why this place got 5 stars happened after we left. After our meal we walked back to the hotel, which is where my coworker realized she lost her phone. She was able to go back to the restaurant, was let in even after they closed, and they had already retrieved her phone. This experience speaks to the quality of staff working here. read more

Regular menu prices are a bit steep, but their lunch and happy hour specials are well priced for a college town pub. Our server was new but she did a great job! It's got a lot of personality lacked a tiny space but feels cozy rather than cramped. read more

This place is located in the back alley with no windows and up the stairs. This is a very local bar restaurant with unique atmosphere. The food was good or average, but it was very nice to visit a local atmosphere in town. read more

Visit to Oxford for my son's football camp. What an awesome town and we hit Mac and Joe's for a fun dinner. Standard pub fare and the service was awesome. We had the the buffalo dip, an order of wings and their "famous turkey sandwich". All was delicious. Not sure if we'll be back to Oxford but wouldn't hesitate in eating here again. read more

Mac & Joe's - Front of restaurant - American Near Me - Oxford, Ohio

Was introduced to this restaurant while visiting in Oxford. Small restaurant/bar but appropriate for a college town. Ate tater tots, Smokehouse Burger, and a root beer. Tried the mac bites which to my surprise were really good! Service was friendly, atmosphere good but can be loud I'm sure on game day or when classes are in session. Definitely give this place a try if in Oxford. read more

Mac and Joes was my jam years ago when I was in school, and it has held up really well. Stopped in on a holiday Monday for lunch and there were several parents with students in for a lunch. Tried the pickle fries and the classic Turkey Gobbler and split some wings. If you've been before, it's what you remember. If not, stop in and find out what you've been missing! read more

Cozy pub which prides itself on a 75+ year history. It's small with a lot of seating - great utilization of space- so it's loud. All the booths, chairs and barstools are wood. The end booths have a "snuggery " feel. I noted some early Cincinnati Reds/Pete Rose memorabilia. A lot of TVs for such a small place. The ceiling is very unique! Plenty of beers on tap with numerous rotating craft selections plus an interesting cocktail list. My husband wanted a margarita and it was good! I had a shock top. Along the top of the bar are chalkboards with all the beers and their ABVs listed. I had the curry chicken salad. The chicken salad itself was very good though I thought a little on the salty side. I didn't care for the green salad part though which was all 'mesclun mix' plus chopped tomato/cucumber. Would have been much better over crispy iceberg lettuce. I would have it again but as a sandwich and skip those greens. He had the steakburger, done medium. It was perfect. Both portions were generous and reasonably priced. Service was good and attentive. The tiny bathroom (ladies) was heated and the hot water was HOT; so important on a cold winter's day. They are open 7 days starting at 11 am. read more

I guess you could say it's a dive bar and both times I've been, I've eaten at the bar as tables were full. Both times, I've had a burgers that were cooked to order & delicious. Good fries too. Service was spot on and even though they were busy, it didn't take too long. Not sure when I'll get back to Oxford but would definitely go there again. read more

There's just something about them ally bars that I can't stay away from. I come here for good wings, but honestly their entire menu is just delicious. If the students are in town it's typically very busy, but the bar is always first come first serve. We are at the bar and had a great experience. The bartender was attentive and managed customers and server tickets efficiently. My beer stayed full and food came out hot! I love their rotating drafts as there is always something new to try! read more

Been eating at this place for 30 years and the food is always great! Big portions, not bad pricing but the service is not the best. They are always packed with college kids, except during Summer break. read more

Popped in tonight (a Tuesday). Not terribly busy. Opted for the mushroom Swiss burger with onion rings. Onion rings were solid! So good. Batter was perfect and perfectly fried. The burger was also excellent. Burgers are always better when you don't mess with the meat too much. You want the meat to be kinda loose when it hits the grill. Whoever is putting the burgers together there knows this. This also got the right amount of char on the outside. I know tastes vary when it comes to burgers, but for me, this is exactly how I like them. They also have a German restaurant called Steinkeller Bier Hall. It was closed, but I will be trying it the next time I'm in town. read more

Great place in Oxford! It is tucked back in an alley so a bit hard to find but well worth it. We all got a burger and they were all delicious. Planning to go back very soon and try the wings. The salads looked very good too! The place has a cozy feel and the service was very good. read more

College beer and food place. Down an alley in an old building. It has character. Mac and cheese bites and m8 I corn dog appetizers. Waitress worked hard. Don't ask too much about the beer, they may not be old enough to have tried anything but Miller Light. I got an amazing sour beer called Rhein skill in or something. Pulled pork was terrific. BLT also excellent. Onion rings were a bit skimpy but very good. I'd be back in a minute. My date (wife) had hoped we had graduated to more elegant meals. read more

Mac & Joe's - At the bar - American Near Me - Oxford, Ohio

Fun college bar restaurant. Food was good, TVs inside with football games on. Service was friendly and prompt.

Have been here 2 times and ordered takeout once! Good place to go with friends. Had good experiences both times eating in. Staff is friendly. I really enjoyed my black bean burger! I also have tried the char grilled chicken salad with lemon pepper seasoning. It was delicious, chicken was seasoned well and the ranch was some of the best that I have had in a while! I noticed that the quality of the food is better when dining in. One suggestion is that they carry gluten free buns! read more

This is the oldest place in Oxford. Definitely a college bar, but all ages of people were there at lunch. We had a group, so it took awhile to get our food, but was all good. Chicken salad sandwich is home made and delicious. Fun atmosphere and lots of history. read more

If you like bar food and lots of deep fried items this is your place. Our kids in their 30's love it. They have good salads that is my go to.. Good service and friendly people. read more

I honestly was expecting some thing a little bit better. It's a small town so I didn't expect the food to be amazing, but the pictures and reviews were a lot better than I expected. The service was great. The server was a nice kid from the school and very helpful and nice. So that was great. But ultimately, the food was not really that great. I ordered buffalo chicken and I thought it would be traditional buffalo chicken. Instead it was dry grilled chicken with some sauce on top. Bun was kind of blah. The fries were good. The best thing about my experience is probably the service. I probably would not go back for the food. read more

Great little restaurant & bar tucked away off High Street in Oxford with plenty of drink options as well as sandwiches, salads & other pub offerings. The mushroom steak hoagie (forgot to take a pic) and wings were fantastic. Seems like a good spot to watch sports too. read more

I think Max & Joes is the best restaurant/bar in town and love that it's down the alley! I fantastic burger cooked medium rare with homemade blue cheese and bacon not to mention crispy tater tots. The beer was cold and fresh too! Great service, clean, and good tvs for sports. read more

Fun college sort of place. Had Mac and cheese bites and a burger with jalapeños and onion bacon jam that was delicious. A little more expensive than I would have expected ($15 for burger plus potato chips) but it was tasty. Others with me ordered spicy garlic wings and a buffalo chicken sandwich, both got a thumbs up. I don't drink but there are lots of beer options. Red cream soda plus coke products as soda options. Would return : ) read more

Classic bar food, nice staff, college vibe. Exactly what you sign up for when you go. Their only downfall is no coke products.

I love Mac & Joe's..for the mac & cheese bites! They're the best I have ever had. I wish the bar had a bit of a bigger selection, but it's fine. I really just come for the mac & cheese bites. I tried to pickle fries this time and those were delicious too. I love that they were smaller in size and the taste was delicious. I drive in from out of state every now and then for these, and because I just miss MiamiU. If you have not been, I definitely recommend and get the mac bites and pickle fries. read more

Mac & Joe's - Turkey sub - American Near Me - Oxford, Ohio

Good bar food, unfortunately not much of a bar! No Corona, No Miller High Life. I'm assuming there Air Conditioning was out! Went on a very HOT day so lack of beer was disappointing. Opted for an $18 double shot of Woodford on the rocks. Don't think we will be back. We did show up in the summer mid week so maybe they just did not have it all together this night. Just FYI that is a 2.5 not a 3 read more

They basically turned us away. Baseball team, 12 kids and parents at 3:20 because it's shift change at 4 and they only 2 cooks. They said we could have apps and drinks only until 4. We went elsewhere. I used to be a waitress and it was clear bartender/ waitress in the glasses wanted to go home. read more

Mac & Joe's - Menu - American Near Me - Oxford, Ohio

It was an interesting "hole in the wall" pub. Bar type food. Service was slow but nice. They seemed to a bit understaffed (like the rest of the world). There were several items on the menu that peaked my interest, but I settled on the Chicken Salad Sub. It was a hot sandwich, which for chicken salad sounds a bit weird, but man it was good! I'd have it again! Also, tried the pizza egg rolls! They were fantastic. Pepperoni, cheese and pizza sauce in an egg roll case and deep fried. Reminded us of the discontinued BW3 pizza rolls. A must have! It comes with a ranch dipping sauce. Pro tip - ask for pizza sauce dipping sauce when you order. read more

WOW. Talk about good vibes! Mac and Joes may just be the spot to be in Oxford Ohio. unbelievable ambiance, phenomenal service, and don't even get me started on that pumpkin white Russian. Truly something special. They somehow capture the beauty of a quaint college town along with the realities that come with life's everyday woes. If you take anything away from this review it should be this: Head on down to mac and joes you really won't regret it. From the Plum island to that truly delectable pumpkin white russian that i referred to earlier, you can't go wrong with their array of specialty adult beverages. #BOOYAH! read more
