We were there for lunch and had a great time. Between five of us we had ribs, pulled pork sandwiches, grilled chicken, shrimp, slaw and fries. Joannie was our server and was a delight. She recommended several combo options to ensure we got the best bang for our buck. The service was fantastic as was the food. Thanks Joannie. Not bad for a New Yorker. 😁🤣

Oakwood is our go to restaurant for consistently good food, awesome service and reasonably priced choices. Most of the sides do need to improve. The Lima beans, collard greens, baked beans and other choices seem to be right out of can. However, we go there for the ribs, salads and fish choices. The restaurant is clean but the carpet needs to be replaced. Although I am sure they have the carpet cleaned regularly it always looks dirty.

Our second time back and becoming one of our favorites. We had ribs, bbq chicken, grilled chicken and sliced beef. Sides of texas toast, corn fritters, corn salad, sweet potato, baked beans and onion rings. Food was all flavorful and delicious. Meats had a great smoke taste throughout with smoke rings on the meats. Bbq chicken skin was cooked crisp and coated nicely and you can taste the smoke flavor throughout. Grilled chicken wonderful grill marks. Ribs fall off the bone totally. Three sauces to choose on the table, mustard, bbq and hot (i mix the hot and bbq yum) Sides were also very tasty, baked beans nice and thick, fat tasty sweet potato comes with a side of honey butter and cinnamon shake on table, corn fritters with actual corn in them, corn salad a nice mix of veggies good flavor, onion rings very light and tasted good. Texas toast also very tasty and good to make a sandwich with. Our Seater/Waiter Bailey was pleasant and prompt with everything. He also was always smiling and talking with all the diners. We had a waitress our previous visit and she was the same. Very welcoming place and staff. Well worth the visit anytime and probably in our top five places to eat. Consistent quality and service. Also plenty to eat for the modest prices. Applause all around.

Truly disappointing especially given how excited I was reading all of the positive reviews. Here from Vegas and wanted to try a different barbecue place than the one we normally visit. The only thing that was edible and good were the fried green beans. The coleslaw and regular green beans were under seasoned and completely tasteless. The okra had the consistency and taste of a dirty dish sponge….Ate two pieces and tossed in trash. The pulled pork was overcooked and had way too much barbecue sauce. What I really was looking forward to was the barbecue chicken. I ordered a quarter chicken with leg and it was honestly the worst I’ve ever had. It looked more like a Cornish hen the portion was so small and there was not an ounce of moisture anywhere in that meat. No amount of sauce or ranch dressing was going to make it worth eating. What a shame and a waste. For dark meat to be that dry takes quite a bit of effort. Aside from the ribs which were mediocre at best, everything was thrown in the trash… Oh, and except for the fried green beans. Very disappointed and will most definitely not be going back to this place….. The employees were very nice and polite just as a sidenote and to be fair.

Since moving to the area 6 years ago Oakwood Smokehouse is our go to restaurant for smoked ribs and chicken. The staff is great, it’s a relaxed atmosphere and the food is always good. In 6 years we’ve never a bad meal. Now what’s really important to us is that the food is consistent in 6 years the food quality has not changed that’s why we love eating here whether dining in or takeout the food is great thank you Oakwood Smokehouse.

First time visit even though I'm from this area. Was underwhelmed by it, it wasn't busy which was nice but we found odd as it was 6pm on a Saturday. The food was ok, nothing to write home about, I got the pulled pork and it was dry and plenty of gristle or fat, which makes for an unpleasant meal. Doused it in sauces and ate it anyways haha. Overall food was ok, staff was absolutely amazing. Our waiter was constantly checking on us and very polite. Pricing seemed fairly high, 2 people, $58. 2 sweet teas, 2 orders of pulled pork, and corn Nuggets for an app. While I'd likely recommend it, I won't likely be back.

She’s lucky I was having a good day cause if not I would have spoken to her manager, I ordered green beans and she brought baked beans and when I told her I wanted green beans she replied with " you ordered baked beans “ and all my family members said no she ordered green beans she went and got the green beans , then I asked for a water to go and my spouse asked for unsweetened tea and she complain “ you guys are changing everything on me now your changing drinks ?” And I told her yes because we have to watch our sugar levels due to health issues and she brought the drinks with and annoyed face , my husband paid with the QR code and went left and why the heck she came running out the door once we were outside saying we were leaving without paying the bill and we’re short from the bill and started aggressively waving the tip money in the air my husband explained we paid with the mobile phone system and that was her tip … that was our first time here and the first impression was very bad ..

I came in for lunch, got the half rack of ribs with chicken combo special with fries and baked beans. the food is absolutely delicious through and through. Nicole greeted ne as soon as I walked in the door and Emily took my order. everything was phenomenal, service, food, attitudes, drinks. and it just so happens they have an amazing view outside the front of the restaurant. I sat outside on their outside patio area and Joanie one of the waitresses came out and asked me how everything was going and said if I needed anything just let her know.

I am from the South where my folk cooked pigs, this food was disgusting. I had ribs with a plain sweet potato (no butter or brown sugar- nothing… I had to ask for condiments). The sauces weren’t even good. We will have to pass on this establishment not for us!
