The fries were NOT what I was thinking, but they were unique and delicious, crispy with soft inside. I was skeptical about the wrap being served hot, but it definitely worked and was also good.

Several large screen TVs make this place perfect for watching "the Big Game". Ok, about the food. My favorite is the Philly flatbread; slightly chewy bread, cream cheese sauce base, and topped with generous amount of roast beef, peppers and onions. (Like a Philly Cheesesteak but laid out on delicious fresh flatbread). Now the onion rings; large onion slices covered in an almost tempura like batter and fried until golden brown...batter flakes off when you bite in on the ring and you will find yourself chasing those tasty batter flakes, so delicious! Give this place a try. It's a bit out of the way for some (Grain Valley, MO) but worth the drive, easy to locate and plenty of parking near. In the KC metro area this place is worth the drive.

It was pretty crowded and most of the tables were reserved, so the hostess suggested we sit at the bar since it was open seating. When we walked over, the bartender wasn't very welcoming and immediately told us kids couldn't sit there, but the manager and hostess reassured us that we were fine. Unfortunately, the bartender's vibe felt off for the rest of our visit. I ordered a Mai Tai, which was pretty good , i didn't order any food this visit but i have had food at this location and it's very good especially the bbq Mac & cheese. On a positive note, my kids really enjoyed the outdoor play area.

The servers and bartenders are super friendly. Service was great for us. Along with our trivia, we got thumping music, a drunk and very vocal contingency, impromptu karaoke, and bumping and grinding atop the bar. This was a Tuesday. If anybody ever tells me Oak Grove can't party, I'll tell em they're a lying SOB. Looking forward to the next trivia. I guess.

We've tried The Oak Tavern several times hoping each time it'll be better than the last, but it…read morenever is. Unfortunately the food looks way better than it tastes. The Buffalo chicken pizza (which I've ordered twice) has been watery each time, with toppings sliding right off the limp crust. We've ordered the fried pickles a few times too, and they taste like they were fried in old oil. If you've had fresh fried pickles versus ones fried in bad or old oil, you know the difference. The beef nachos came out cold, served in a big cast iron skillet that also was cold (why serve cold nachos in a cold skillet?). Service at the bar has also been slow every time. Regulars get priority with very attentive service. As a former bartender myself, I get it: the regulars are sure tippers and people you get to know on a personal level. But every customer deserves attentive service regardless if it's their first time in a bar or their 100th. Also something odd about the bar service: each time I've ordered a mixed drink like Jack and Coke, they serve it in a pint glass. Industry standard for a single serving of Jack and Coke is in a short glass/rocks glass, not in a tall glass unless a customer requests it. The first time I thought it was a simple mistake, but it kept happening the other times we went too. This might be policy here to keep the bartender from having to make drinks more often? But it's not industry standard and is strange. I literally never leave negative reviews, but living locally it really sucks this place isn't better. We make the drive to Grain Valley or Blue Springs if we want to go to a bar because we keep getting disappointed. I'll update my next review of The Oak Tavern with pictures if we decide to try again. Rating 2/5 stars because my husband said his smoked wings that were on special were good! And like I said, the food always does *look* pretty. I hope it's better next time if we decide to try again.

By pure chance, we ended up choosing a well-known local restaurant. The calamari was very good -- proper, full-sized squid rings with a relatively light coating. After being battered by a downpour, it was exactly the kind of thing you want to calm yourself down with: fat and protein. The hamburger was also very well made. During happy hour, the value for money was especially good, and it came with grilled vegetables, which made the whole meal feel surprisingly well balanced. It was my first time trying Country Fried Steak. My companion was not really a fan, but after looking it up later, I realized that it is a distinctly American comfort food. Well... had I not already been full, I probably could have helped him out with half of it. The onion rings that came as a side also looked excellent -- big, substantial rings, not those tiny chain-restaurant ones that almost look like calamari. The Caesar Salad was very good too. I did not use much of the dressing, but honestly, the cheese and vegetables were already enough for me. To sum it up, if time allowed, I would probably replace the hamburger with something more distinctly local next time. To be fair, we had barely eaten anything for about 12 hours before walking in, so we were not exactly in the mood to take risks. And as it turned out, spending more than $50 on a two-person bowl at the stadium was nowhere near as satisfying as holding out a little longer for a genuinely good local meal in the Kansas City area -- with a beer on top of that. Absolutely worth it.

There's a pick up window for your beverage orders or you can go inside for their home brew, seltzers and cocktails made with Tom's Town Distilling spirits. That morning they were making homemade waffles, plain or with bananas and walnuts, one of each please, and their utensils came wrapped and are compostable.
