“ Great food and patio for outside seating best burgers around Friendly staff well worth the stop Live bands most weekends karaoke once a week ”
“ The oakdale has a long history. I wish it was played up more. This establishment is recently under new ownership. The food is really good. Friday/ Saturday nights they have live music. The outdoor seating area is my favorite. As it overlooks the dam and Tippecanoe river. ”
“ We decided to eat here for the first time in about 3 years. It has new management and the food coming out is spot on. I had the broasted chicken and would get it again. They have a pork chop that is just as good as the Skull in Nashville. ”
“ We had an amazing time at this restaurant. My husband and I reserved a table for a party of 20 and I couldn't have asked for better service. The workers made it easy to make a reservation when we called in advance and offered us indoor and outdoor seating. The restaurant was super clean and I loved the outdoor seating area. The catfish and sweet potato fries were absolutely AMAZING!! We hope to visit again soon. ”
“ Since the new management has taken over, the food has improved tremendously! Great place to see bands as well! ”
“ There's nothing special about this place. Just a local spot with decent service. On a recent visit I tried the calamari which was surprisingly good. And the breaded pork tenderloin which was crispy and juicy with great flavor. Cocktails, however, very rudimentary and not great. ”
“ 1St time at location. Well staffed, friendly staff, Had cat fish nuggets and chicken tenders both cooked to order. Blue moon beer cold and served with orange slice. Tried the Onion rings they were made in house hot and tasty. Michelle B was are server and did a wonderful job Would recommend to anyone in area or passing through. Job well done ”
“ Cool spot really down to earth people! My band played there and as I was driving I thought I had made a wrong turn or something. I rolled my windows down and knew that I was going in the right direction because I could feel the humidity changing(the damn). Had a great time! Awesome staff and very welcoming ”
“ First timer and I enjoyed my meal & drinks. Simple bar food, biker vibes, live music out by the dam, large patio. It's a place to go if you're in the mood for a laid back evening. I got the pork nachos as my meal and it was huge. It would be a great appetizer for about 4 people. My husband enjoyed his burger. Great place for a low key Friday night. ”
