BBQ bourbon
Holly W.

A couple months ago we could not get into OBT on a Saturday night even at 7pm but now we know why. Pros: - Modern rustic vibe (think exposed wood, modern lighting fixtures and leaning into earth tones to complement the wood) - Friendly waitress - Good food options and decent portions - Fair pricing - DELICIOUS onion rings - Not the best blue cheese but it was good - Burger cooked to perfection - The beer cheese was tasty - Pretzels were just salty enough - Chicken tenders were crisped just right Cons: - Not heavy handed on sauces (Our BBQ bourbon burger barely had any sauce on it and I love me some sauce!) - Most of the garlic parm flavor on the tenders was a pile under the tenders on the plate (I had to dip onto the plate for flavor) This place is putting out some good stuff. We will be back to OBT again.

Potato Nachos
Bianca F.

My mouth is watering just looking at my pictures from last night. Oak Barrel Tavern had a rustic comfy feel with a good sized bar with what appeared to have a good selection of beers , wine and cocktails. I'll get right to it and will say the potato nachos were a good portion , big enough to share. If this was my meal I would've added chicken. The southwest salad , again , big portion (great in my book) was packed with flavor I barely needed to add the yummy dressing. All ingredients in the salad were absolutely fresh. Service was good and I would totally recommend coming here. Ps - PLENTY of onsite parking.

Whiskey flight menu options

I stopped here on my way home from MA for dinner. The food was good and our service was great. Any questions we had about the menu were answered and she was great to talk to. The restaurant was clean and looked like a great place to come hang out. There were TVs on and we watched some of the Olympics. The food is good but the standouts were the dessert and the Buffalo Trace whiskey flight. It was a long trip home and this was a treat to ease the drive.

Very pleased with our dinner. Me and my mother stopped here on our way back from our Montreal trip because we saw them on Phantom Gourmet. I got the pulled pork sandwich ($15) and for $2 extra I had onion rings on the side. The pork was tender, the bun was great and it was a decent size. But the onion rings were out of this world! So crispy and it had that nostalgic, diner taste to it. We shared some chicken wings for an appetizer ($13). 8 wings came with the order and they were cooked well and juicy. However, we didn't like the BBQ sauce they were tossed in. It almost didn't taste like BBQ sauce and it was way too heavy on the ketchup. If had no sweetness. My mom's entrée was the tavern harvest grain bowl ($15). It had a bunch of healthy stuff on there, but the portion was huge and I had to finish it for her. It would be kind of boring if it wasn't for the amazing ginger sauce they serve with it. My mom ordered a peanut butter stout for $6.50 and I ordered there shark bite cocktail for $10. The stout was really good, but I wasn't a fan of my drink. It tasted water down and I couldn't taste the alcohol. This restaurant is a really cool place to hang out and our server was so sweet and very attentive.

Bacon cheeseburger with onion rings ($2 extra for onion rings)
Chelsea F.

Randomly popped into this place for lunch and will definitely be coming back. Great ambiance with comfortable bar seats and plenty of high tops. The bartender we had was very attentive and friendly and had some great recommendations. I could t decide between Buffalo and a OBT signature chicken tender sauce, and he did half and half for me at no charge so i could try both! The burger was also great - and not too massive which is a plus. Appetizers were in the $10-15 range and entrees were about $15-25. Wide variety of bourbons available as well as about 15 beers on tap.

All the food!!! Tater Tots Spinach and Artichoke Dip Chicken Wings Fig Flatbread Fried Pickles and Peppers

Exceptional! I mean truly exceptional! I've been doing this a while and going to different…read morerestaurants and reviews and this definitely deserves 5 stars! Beautiful inside, the staff was beyond pleasant and attentive, the food came out in a very timely manner for it being at a super busy time and day of the week, I met both owners and they were very friendly and wonderful to talk too. The food!!! The food was amazing!! Seasoned perfectly, cooked just right, presentation was lovely and just everything paired so nicely! I will 100% be back! Keep up the good work guys, don't change a thing!!

The Woo is one of my favorite restaurants, especially when it's a nice day to sit outside. We were…read moreat the Woo recently and didn't have the amazing meals we usually do. We both enjoyed our usual appetizers...my husband loves their chourico sausage app and I love their nachos. I usually always get the eggplant parmigiana which I love, but I switched it up and got the chicken Caesar wrap which was just okay ( and a little dry). My husband got the pasta with chicken and broccoli and although it looked amazing it was really really oily and tasted like they just poured olive oil in it, he always finishes his meals and helps me with mine too. This was the first time my husband didn't eat his whole meal. We'll come again, but we'll definitely stick with our usual favorites next time.

This place was fantastic! So glad we found it. We enjoyed a great charcuterie board and the drinks…read morewere delicious! Chicken swarhma sandwiches were incredible. Everything hmmm is house made here! Wish I lived nearby....

Pros: Cozy, British pub style atmosphere; interesting small plates, not too expensive…read more Cons: gets extremely crowded in the evenings; very loud when crowded; staff is snobbish I've been here a few times, and my most enjoyable experiences were during lunch. If you can sit at the bar or in one of the 2 tables by the window, you'll get excellent service. The charcuterie board is great, and the drink selection is also pretty good. However, the last time we came here, it was the middle of the afternoon on Valentine's day. I'm from Boston and Cape Cod and my partner is European; we look like it and we act like it. Upon a brief interaction with the hostess, we both felt spoken down to: "YOU'RE trying to come in on Valentine's day? Without a reservation?" This, coming from someone with a Worcester accent who was dressed like a boy going to church choir. We were shooed away into the dining area: "I guess you could stand over there and look at the menu". It's about 330 in the afternoon- most tables are completely empty. Then a different staff member, also with a working class accent, says "I need you to clear out of this walkway because this is for staff only", despite the fact that no staff were walking there and we had been standing there about 20-30 seconds. We left without saying anything as the hostess tried to say something to us. If you want to feel spoken down to, in the working class city of Worcester no less, come here. Alternately, if you're feeling aggressive and want to squeeze your way in to sit touching shoulder to shoulder, come here. The time before this, the hostess was a soft-spoken woman who mumbled a lot; we had to elbow people out of the way at the middle bar section, which is where she directed us. Maybe in another year I'll want to come back for lunch only. Honestly, I'd rather drive back to Boston if I'm going to be treated snobbishly.
