I really enjoy Oby's - The servers and staff are extremely friendly and the menu there is great too. I try something different eveytime and never been disappointed. read more

The portions were big in pure southern fashion. Soup and salad was exactly what I wanted on a Sunday night. Thank goodness it was open. Good for grandparents of all ages! Bring 'em out kids. read more

Oby's - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Oxford, Mississippi

The service was great! Food came out in a timely fashion. I ordered a salad and my friends ordered a soup and the grilled kickin chicken. The top half of the salad was phenomenal but the bottom half was just average. I would also like to warn anyone ordering the broccoli and cheddar to be ready for more than EXCESS cheddar. Grilled kickin chicken was phenomenal. Great selection and meals for the whole family! FYI order the sweet tea, it won't disappoint read more

First time coming just love it. I will be back!!! The fries are the best. The only thing i didn't like was the slaw.. read more

See all

Very good food. Service is also pleasant and efficient. Definitely will visit again and again.

Amazing menu variety. Much better than newks or McAllister's. Went on a Friday at lunch with a group at work and they served us quickly. Love the catfish, chicken tenders, muffaletta, waffle fries, rotel. read more

Not so great food. The bread pudding is too dry and has a preservative type taste. Kinda artificial tasting. The chocolate brownie in the brownie sundae was dry and crumbly. And cold. In a frosty glass. Not very appetizing. Yeah, it was a sundae with ice cream, but the cake part should be hot and yummy, not cold and crumbly. The rest of the food was passable. The wait staff and cashiers leave plenty to be desired. They act like they are doing you a favor by waiting on you. I think they forget they are there for the customer, not the other way around. Hello?!? I don't need attitude when you take my money and bring my food. Thanks anyway. Eh, what are ya gonna do? That's what you get when there are nothing but teenagers working there. read more

My experience with this restaurant was a nightmare. The delivery through Landshark Delivery went fine. The food arrived quickly and it arrived hot. I ordered a Fried Oyster Poboy with fries on the side. It was advertised as "fresh oysters" but it tasted stale and tinny like they were canned or frozen. (The manager admitted they were frozen- so points off for false advertising.) The fries were okay. The prices were very high for what you get. On my third bite into the oyster poboy, I bit down on a large piece of shell- about the size of a dime-that shattered my back right molar tooth. It was fried along with the breading so I had no way of seeing it. I have to go to an oral surgeon now at the end of this month due to the lack of attention to detail by Oby's. It was a big enough piece of shell that they should have noticed. I called the manager and told her the story, and she told me that it wasn't their fault because they don't shuck the oysters themselves- they're frozen (which is again false advertising). She was very rude and very argumentative. She also did not offer to give a refund or comp the sandwich or anything of the sort, and when I asked politely outright refused. I'm not going to sue- but I'm never going back to that place and I recommend you don't either. I'm very disappointed and rather upset. read more

We were urged to try Oby's by our Ole Miss daughter. We both had the chicken plate and while the waffle fries were good the chicken both grilled and fried were drier than dry. All the sauce in the world couldn't bring that chicken back to life. If you want good chicken try Abners or Chic Fila. read more

Great food ! Wife had chicken philly, daughter had chicken strips. I had the mufaletta. All were great, and reasonably priced. The mufaletta is the best I've had north of Hattiesburg. Will visit again. read more

I came in yesterday to order my usual meal, a Po boy. Not only was the food fantastic, but the service was beyond excellent. My waitress' name was Rachel, and she was very accommodating of my every need. I've been to a lot of restaurants here in Oxford, and the service here is one of the best. If you come by, make sure to ask for Rachel! read more

Has slowly become one of my fav places to stop and grab a bite to eat when in town! The catfish plate is awesome is humongous... I always split it with my 6 year old! Whenever I've been, it's never been too crowded... service is always fast and never too far away! I'll definitely return! read more

We stopped here for lunch after church. Everything was amazing. My daughters both got chicken strips while i tried the Creole roast beef sandwich. We didn't have to wait very long for our food either! read more

I used to love Oby's when they first opened. Tonight was my last attempt to eat there. Last two times the service was terrible and tonight when we went in at 9:30 we were told they were closed. People in the restaurant were still eating. The door clearly states their hours are daily until 10 PM and the website also says 10 PM. When I asked the young man behind the counter about the door and website he said they like to close early so the can leave at 10. So 10 actually means departure time for staff, not actual hours. It was fun while it lasted Oby's but I will not ever be back. read more

I finally got to go back to Oby's this weekend I have not been in years...this use to me my game day stop back when I was in school. They did not disappoint still the same great food I remember. The whole place is set up kind of like McAlisters you walk up order then they bring the food out to you only difference is this place is way better than McAlisters. They have the all time best chicken tenders...and I know my chicken tenders...even their ranch is great I think it is homemade well at least taste that way. I mean how could you not like a place with awesome chicken oh and rotel as an appetizer. The staff for the most part seems to be high school and college kids, and they are all great super helpful and always checking to see if you need anything. If you are in town shopping or headed to a game this is a great lunch stop. read more

Oh, man, those alligator or oyster po-boys are phenomenal. Oby's has a mcalister's vibe, but a bit elevated. The prices are high, but the food delivers. Go for the fries, though there is an upcharge. The cheese dip to start out with is a definite plus. Expect to leave absolutely stuffed with a massive sweet tea to go. read more

If you are ever in Oxford, MS and want a sweet treat, then stop by here and order the bread pudding! Although it looks like a pie it is pure bread pudding goodness! Perfect for 2 people to eat BTW! read more

Super great food. My favorite place to get chicken in town. However sometimes it can be a little slow. And the waiters are kinda in and out.

I gave it 5 stars because it deserves it in my humble opinion. Oby's is a very similar to a McAlester's Deli or a Sweet Peppers Deli but with a Cajun twist, and it's a lot better. My favorites here are the Around the World and the Muffuletta sandwiches. read more

5 stars (on the counter service scale) Had the shrimp po-boy and the gumbo; both very good. Would go back today-if I was in Starkville.

Generous food portions, good atmosphere, but few things I have had have been kind of bland. Nothing special about the rotel and chips, chicken, or ultimate fries. I need to try one of their sandwiches so I'll give it another shot sometime but for now it's just okay. read more

Came to Oxford for a baseball tourney and the locals turned us on to Oby's. Fantastic food & ambiance in Oxford. Everything is fantastic! We'll be back. read more

Oby's had some of the friendliest staff I have encountered in Oxford. The food came fast and was hot when it was supposed to be hot, and cold when it was supposed to be cold. I had the club wrap with fried chicken and it was absolutely huge. All my friends' food came quickly and looked excellent. No complaints. read more

I ordered the philly steak and got a roast beef with cheese. ??? 6 in sub for price of a footlong. Subway has them beat.

One of my favorite places in town. This is a place to get good wholesome food that isn't fast food but doesn't completely break your budget. The food itself is well seasoned and always comes out hot and fresh. When it comes to most places in Oxford, this is probably one of the ones where I haven't ever had any problems with orders and the service is always friendly and helpful. read more

Oby's in Oxford doesn't quite live up to the standards of the original location in Starkville.....we both had the roast beef poboy....gravy tasted burnt.....meat was grisley.....service not that great either. Not our first time in this location where it just doesn't meet the expectations that it should. read more

I LOVE OBY'S! Chips and Salsa and fresh guacamole are a great start. I like the salads and the Po-boys. You can't go wrong with soup either. The spuds are HUGE and a great way to fill up on a decent price. The sweet tea is southern sweet-wish I love. It is a mix between sit down and carry out. Great for to go or office parties. read more

Oby's is a place to get quick food. I ordered the clam chowder and oyster platter. My friend had a turkey sandwich and superspud. The sandwich was piled high with turkey and was a big size as was the spud. It tasted very good. The spud was very dry even though topped with a lot of cheese, bacon and olives. There were plenty of oysters on the half-platter (8). The oysters were so over salted I could only eat 3 if them and way too much breading. They could have been cooked a minute less. The chowder had a good flavor but once again, WAY too much salt. I would only return if my friend insists and try something else. read more

Somtimes I get sick when I eat here somtimes not . Happened enough times not to go back

The kid's grilled chicken looks like dog poop. The meat was really dry and covered in some sort of nasty sauce. We also got a side of fruit and it was clearly from a can. The alligator po-boy was obviously chicken. McDonald's is across the street- you'll have better luck there. read more

If you like greasy food that doesn't even remotely taste like authentic Cajun cuisine, you'll love Oby's!

They had some incredible jambalaya(which is hard to perfect) as well as some great service. We drove around all Sunday evening for something to be open and this was one of the only ones without a 2hr wait. I'm so glad we ended up there. We had a great time. Also, the beer is super cheap! read more

I absolutely love Oby's. I was in town for the game and went there this afternoon for lunch for the first time since I graduated in 2009. It was just as good as I remembered and I was so glad to share the experience with my wife. I've traveled all over the country for my job and this is still one of my favorite restaurants anywhere. I highly, highly recommend it. The fried chicken tenders meal is insanely good. Get the BBQ sauce with it! read more

Went to get takeout and when I got home my sides were not in my bag. Bread seem raw bad experience.

Similar to McAlisters but with a slightly more diverse menu. Prices are good and service is pretty good. 4 stars because occasionally the tables and floor will be dirty even when well staffed. read more

I love the catfish! Best in town. The meals here are consistent and delicious. Staff is always friendly and helpful.

Extensive menu with lots of yummy choices. The waffle fries are a must have if you go here! Need to consider opening a second location because there is often a long line, especially on Sundays. read more

Absolute my favorite place to eat!! My favorites are: the side salad w/ fried chicken in it ( cost extra but worth it), Oby's Chicken Sandwich (fried), Rotel fries, & Catfish Poboy. No matter what you get you will be satisfied. Don't forget to get a fish bowl for dessert :) read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Oxford. My family and I eat here frequently. The service is always good and the food is excellent. The staff is always friendly and seems eager to be there. By far one of the best restaurants in town as far as customer service and quality of food. read more
