Everything from start to finish was excellent at Oak & Ember. Our hostess, the vibes, our food and our server Chris were all perfect. My husband and I had date night here on Friday. The vibes were great! We came for the brisket and we were surprised to see the menu had so many more items. Can't wait to come back to try the rest of the menu but we will still be having the brisket on the side because it was sooo good! read more

We had a magnificent experience here. Chris was our server and he was perfection!!! His friendliness, his recommendations, everything about our visit was great. Since it was our first visit, he was very helpful with giving us tips for a great visit. Now for the food: For the appetizer, we ordered the chicken wings, which in my opinion were some of the best ever. Perfectly cooked with a perfect crispness. YUMMY! Even for happy hour, it was a heavy pour on the Paloma. My boyfriend even felt a little buzz from it. We ordered the Ribeye and beef ribs for the main course. The rib eye was very well seasoned and had delicious flavor. The mashed potatoes were okay, and neither of us liked the Mac and cheese. The ribs were good, a bit fatty, but still good. The cornbread was yummy like cake! The butter cake was absolute perfection! It was some of the best butter cake I have ever tasted in my life. Overall even though all of the food was perfect, the overall experience was great. We will definitely go back and preferably sit with Chris. We definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

Very disappointing experience. We came in as a party of five and there was no hostess. A waitress asked how many were in our party, seated us, and then walked away. We sat for over 20 minutes without anyone coming to our table. No one greeted us, offered us water, or took a drink order. I finally asked an employee if someone was going to help us, and he said yes, but no one ever came. At that point, we decided to leave. I understand restaurants can get busy, but being seated and then completely ignored for 20+ minutes, even after asking for help, is unacceptable. Unfortunately, we never even got the chance to try the food. read more

Will absolutely be back! We stopped by here after a day of shopping and it did not disappoint! I'm pretty sure it was an Applebees before but the leather booths and wood detail upgrade was well done. It's decorated for Halloween right now and they went ALL OUT! Chris was our server and he was impeccable. Friendly, knowledgeable and fun! We had the Chef's appetizer that had a little bit of everything. Nacho corn dip, wings, sliders and potato skins. The brisket on the sliders and skins was so good! The BBQ sauce was deliciously sweet. Highly recommend the double crunch wings with the dry BBQ rub. I'm usually a sauce girl but these were on point. read more

Our server Chris was a jewel to the experience of eating here. We came here after an all white party and of course I wanted the messiest food option. I ordered the bbq boil. Chris made sure we had extra napkins and gloves. It serves 4...there was only 2 of us. Indeed there were leftovers. Everything was delicious and the drinks were strong. read more

We came here this past weekend for brunch but I don't think they have the brunch anymore but I may be wrong. However we still came in and had an early lunch. We were greeted by Mariah who was our server. She was friendly and super helpful. She was knowledgeable about the food and drinks and helped us choose. She provided amazing service and is the gold standard for customer service in a restaurant. We ordered some drinks and I had the Peach Please and my fiancé had La Nina Fresa. Both of the drinks were refreshing and delicious. They were also strong but we didn't mind it and enjoyed it. We ordered quite a bit of food. We started with the burnt end fundido and the fried corn riblets. They were both delicious. We truly enjoyed the corn riblets a bit more. That corn was full of flavor. We also had the waygu carne asada with corn bread and the mac n cheese. The carne asada was tender. I do feel like it needed a little bit more seasoning or salt but just a touch. The corn bread was good but wish it came with butter or honey butter. Other than that it was delicious. My fiancé had The Oak burger and it was one of the best burgers we had. The fries were delicious and crispy just how we like them. The mac N cheese was one of the better ones we have ever had. The restaurant itself is really nice and beautiful in there. It made me want to stay in there and hang out for a while. I loved the way it looked in there especially all the animals with the glasses on. Mariah you killed it! Thank you for an amazing experience. We will be back. read more

Went back to Oak & Ember, and I can confidently say this is easily my favorite happy hour! I promise, they never disappoint. We went during Happy Hour (2-6 PM), and the value and quality are hard to beat. I usually stick with the $5 margaritas and always get the La Niña Fresca. My partner is loyal to the Blood Orange Beer, which is always a solid choice. This time around we ordered the Smoked Burnt Ends Brisket Fundido, Deep Fried Potato Skins, Buffalo Wings, Thai Chili Wings, and Brussels Sprouts. Everything came out hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. The potato skins continue to be one of my favorite items on the menu, and the brisket fundido was rich, smoky, and absolutely worth ordering. The wings were crispy with plenty of sauce, and the Brussels sprouts were the perfect addition to round everything out. A special shoutout to our server, Mariah, who made this one of our best visits so far. She was exceptionally attentive, always checking in on us, making sure drinks were refilled, and that everything was perfect. Great service can really elevate a dining experience, and Mariah did exactly that. If you're looking for a happy hour spot with great drinks, delicious food, and excellent service, Oak & Ember continues to be my top recommendation. read more

First time at Oak & Ember in Ontario, CA, and we absolutely loved it! We stopped in after taking our little one to the Hot Wheels Monster Trucks show at Toyota Arena, and it ended up being the perfect place to grab food and drinks afterward. Chris was our server and was outstanding from the beginning. He made us feel genuinely welcome and comfortable, especially knowing it was our first visit. He was attentive, gave us great recommendations, and really added to the overall experience. The atmosphere is one of the coolest parts of Oak & Ember. It has this prohibition-era, old-school mob movie feel--dark, moody, and a little upscale without feeling stuffy. Definitely not what you expect when you first think of a BBQ restaurant. And the craft cocktails are SNEAKY good! We love a well-made craft cocktail that isn't overly sweet, and these delivered. The drinks felt like something you'd expect from a dedicated cocktail bar, which was a very pleasant surprise for a BBQ spot. The food was great too! Another HUGE plus: it was very toddler-friendly. We had our little guy with us after a morning at the monster truck show, and we never felt uncomfortable or out of place bringing him in. If you're looking for a BBQ restaurant in Ontario near Toyota Arena with great food, legitimately good craft cocktails, a unique atmosphere, and a welcoming environment for families, Oak & Ember is absolutely worth checking out. Great first experience, and we'll definitely be back. And ask for Chris--he took excellent care of us! read more

Our first time at Oak & Amber and we loved it! We stopped in after the Hot Wheels Monster Trucks show with our little one, and it was the perfect way to end our afternoon. Our server, Chris, was amazing--so attentive, welcoming, and helpful throughout our entire visit. He gave us great recommendations, and everything we tried was delicious. We especially loved the drinks. We're pretty particular about cocktails and prefer them craft-style and not overly sweet, and these were exactly what we like. Great food, great drinks, and even better service. Such a great first experience. We'll definitely be back! read more

We were in the Ontario area and my son found Oak and Amber on his phone so we decided to check it out after reviewing the menu while driving. upon arrival, they were very enthusiastic and led us to a nice table with a nice view out and some nice big screens where we could watch the World Cup. our server. CHRIS hooked us up with some menus Waters and my wife's drink which she thoroughly enjoyed was there before we knew it. Her drink was called a La Niña, which basically was a strawberry margarita with Ginger and basil and she thoroughly enjoyed it. For dinner she had mashed potatoes, a half chicken and a salad and all were thoroughly enjoyed according to her the chicken is apparently barbecued. Myself I had the tri-tip with mashed potatoes and a strawberry salad, which was actually really good. I enjoyed the salad and they put the cheese on the side. I also enjoyed the mashed potatoes. They serve the two tip with pickles and onions, and it was pretty tasty. I demolished it even though when I first got there, I didn't think I was gonna eat all my food. I ended up eating everything that was served to me. So my son, he had the two different types of wings which he ended up taking to go and he also got the brisket tacos, which had a little too much going on for him so he wasn't able to eat them. He felt like the wings were good and the skin was crispy. They also kept the water going and they offered us dessert although we were full and didn't get any. Again, Kris was very attentive and I would highly recommend you. Try Oak & Amber if you're in the area the food is good and tasty and you get plenty of everything. Just FYI, we came during happy hour so the appetizers and the drinks were half off! read more

We came back today for the Wednesday wing special -- just $1 per wing! What a great deal. We tried the Sweet Chili, Parmesan, and BBQ flavors. You need to order a minimum of 4 wings per flavor, which gave us a chance to sample a few different options. My favorite was the Sweet Chili, but the Parmesan and BBQ were delicious too. We had the BBQ wings last Saturday and enjoyed them so much that we had to come back. This place is great, and the wings never disappoint! read more

Service was very mediocre and the waitress (an African American with very short hair) was very dismissive. We mentioned we wanted to talk to a manager and here we are 10 Ambiance was quiet and they played some decent music. We ordered the not so secret player and ALL the meat was cold. 3/10. Over priced and I do not recommend. The alcoholic drinks are gross. Tennessee whisky 2/10. Watermelon Margarita 1/10. Corn bread was decent but NOT hot 3/10. Beef tallow fries were ok. 5/10 Mac & cheese is super basic. 4/10 Potatoes are ok. 5/10 Burger was dry and we couldn't even finish it. 1/10. Brussels are 5/10. Green bean fries were only warm 3/10. I think we all agreed that we're not coming back. read more

Oak & Ember delivered a fantastic dining experience from start to finish! The hostess was warm, efficient, and thoughtful in accommodating our little ones even with the 3 groups that walked in before us. Our server, Christopher, was an absolute standout! His energy was infectious, and his knowledge of the menu made our first visit so much easier. He even tempted us with the BBQ Boil -- and honestly, he almost had us! We went with some smaller options we knew we could finish. Chris was attentive, checked in on us regularly, and made sure everything was to our satisfaction. My kids even gave him a thumbs up -- and that says a lot! As for the food -- absolutely delicious! We enjoyed the Brisket Sliders (which disappeared so fast we forgot to snap a photo), half a BBQ chicken, Tri Tip, Mac n' Cheese, and Garlic Mashed Potatoes. Every dish was a hit! The seats were comfy and the decor was great to look at and they had a lot if TVs to watch games on. We will definitely be back.

We stumbled on Oak & Ember while in the IE looking for lunch, and it was such a great find! Mariah greeted us, seated us, and took such good care of us throughout our meal. We had the BBQ salad with brisket and the ribs with a side of corn. Everything was flavorful and filling, and the service was fast and friendly. Mariah was especially attentive, keeping our drinks filled without us ever having to ask. We'll definitely be looking for reasons to make the drive back! read more

The BBQ was very tasty. We ordered off menu and got the BBQ boil which def hit the spot and was well worth the price. You get ribs, corn, sausages , chicken and potatoes. The flavor was delightful the ribs were tender and the chicken was tasty. They even had a special for $3 draft beers which was nice. The Ambiance is friendly and the restaurant itself is very roomy the service could have been a little better. Overall I would go back and enjoy some of the delicious food and drink specials. The Mac and cheese definitely needs a little love the brussel sprouts were nothing short of amazing. Cornbread was also tasty. read more

After waiting several months for this spot to work out the kinks from their grand opening I decided to stop by. I walked in and sat at open bar spot and noticed at least 4 tables that needed to be bussed and trash on floor. Could have been a party that just left so no big deal. After a couple minutes bartender stopped by I got me it and ordered a drink. Couple seated next to me asked for recommendations, I was like it's my first time also. Ordered the fried corn riblets, they tasted good just needed more of the sauce that was drizzled on top. The cocktail was okay nothing great , so switched to beer instead. Also ordered the Chili , after talking with the couple next to me that their BBQ experience was kind of lackluster. It was later in the evening so maybe their BBQ was running low so you can't go wrong with Chili. While the chili was good I think the experience of being given a plastic to go utensil package was very odd. I mean I would expect this of a backyard BBQ spot but a sit down spot it seems very odd. I wanted to order cornbread as it does not come with chili but did not see it in the menu. I did ask for a side and the bartender brought me some and didn't charge me so I made sure to tip him extra for that. Wasn't a fan of the cornbread was more cake like, but to each their own on their style of cornbread. Now the interesting part is that I have not seen a busser from the time I arrived till the time I left which was about 70 minutes. Now the 4 tables that had food and plates when I arrived was now over 10. This was throughout the restaurant, now I do acknowledge 3 small groups left a few minutes before I did so that's 3 tables. But the same 4 tables that were dirty when I arrived had still not been bussed or cleaned off. After I paid the bill I saw the guy who was taking my order and making drinks start clearing tables. Not sure if they short staffed but did see quite a few waiters walking around. It was kind of busy for late night but still have to clean takes, even the bar tops were dirty. Now if the front of house is dirty I can only imagine the back of house.. Sad to say I tried to give this place a chance but was it's a no go for future stops. I do hope it does better as it does smell good outside but for now it's off my list. To each their own and to those that have had good experiences , you are Lucky as I was not. read more

This is a great little spot right across from the Ontario mills mall. Inside is super cute! Great backdrop tile behind the bar and lots of dark wood. It's a vibe. I had the wagyu carne asada and it was tender and delicious. I had a super refreshing mocktail to start. My friend had the tri tip tacos and also said they were delicious! Super fair pricing as well in my opinion. Great place, ill definitely keep it in mind next time I'm shopping in the area or at a show at Toyota arena read more

Wanted to like this place but unfortunately it wasn't good :/ The Asada had a gamy taste to it, the corn bread was solid hard.

Enjoy with their cornbread and picked onions. Potato Skins - Tasty Half Chicken - not smoked. Only flavor was the skin. The meat itself was bland. Beef Ribs - 4 ribs but only meat for 3. The ribs were either overcooked or re-cooked. Beef was dry and hard. Over sauced. Kids Cheeseburger and waffle fries - $12 with no drink included. read more

Looking for your next happy hour spot? Look no further. The $5 margaritas and $3 beers definitely hit the spot! Usually when places advertise cheap margaritas, they tend to be pretty bad, mostly sour mix that leaves you with a headache, feeling nauseous, and somehow still sober. Thankfully, that was not the case here. The drinks were actually really good and well made. The service was also great. Our bartender, Erin, was super welcoming, funny, and made excellent drinks. She had us laughing the whole time and really made the experience even better. I didn't end up ordering food, but a few of my friends did and everything that came out looked fire. The restaurant is just as cool in person as it looks on social media, and it's a really chill spot to grab a drink and unwind at the end of the day. I'd 100% come back for happy hour again! read more

First Time Here... When you are outside you get the barbecue vibe as the name says it.. You get the barbecue vibe.. Then you walk inside and are confused by how the place is decorated.. It's dark with felt wallpaper and decorated with items that do not give off a barbecue vibe.. I struggle with this review as the food was ok..We ordered our meals and they bring them out on these small medical supply trays.. It made the food look like appetizers..Small portions... I will tell you the flavor of the meat was ok, just not a lot of food for the money..The Brisket had good flavor was was dry. The tri tip was tasty, but four small strips? The mac and cheese was more sauce then pasta, but was the best part of the meal.. The server wasn't very attentive as we had to constantly ask for drink refills after putting glasses on the edge of the table.. This place sounds like it would be a really good place from the name, but struggles once you are in the door.. For Three People.. Two Sodas and Ice Tea..Dinner was $86 dollars... read more

I brought my family in for the $2 taco night because, hey, how bad could a $2 taco really be? Well... apparently, pretty bad. The meat was so dry and overcooked it felt like we were chewing on seasoned cardboard. The tortillas were somehow hard AND cold, which is quite an accomplishment. It looked like the tacos had been sitting under the heat lamp long enough to qualify as employees. I understand these are $2 tacos, but I wasn't expecting a $2 taco to taste like it had been forgotten in the back of the kitchen since last Tuesday. If you're looking for tacos, honestly, you might be better off going to Taco Bell. At least there, you know what you're getting. $2 tacos? More like $2 worth of disappointment. My family and I definitely won't be coming back. read more
