Left Field Tavern

Cool little spot BUT the server neglected to tell us it was happy hour until another patron told us. We finished our drinks and left. I'd go again but this made us all a bit salty. Didn't try the food.

Great little bar where we could bring the dog! Food was good and simple. Beer was cheap and we enjoyed the back patio. Would totally come back. Service took care of us and the dog. We really liked it here.

The food hit the spot after the hockey game on Saturday. I had the chicken club wrap where I was able to substitute the ranch dressing for the hot garlic wing sauce. The chips on the side hit the spot with the barbecue sauce. The service was pretty good for how busy it was at 8pm. There were a lot of people there, but you could still hear the music. The ambiance was one of a college town restaurant, but solid food nonetheless. The beer on tap was a little limited but you could still find a choice of each kind of beer to have.

In a town full of nothing but bar food, this is in my top two bar food restaurants. The loaded fries are phenomenal, the burgers are super good, buffalo chicken Mac and Cheese is good. Don't order the buffalo chicken wrap if you're expecting any flavor at all. Best of all, the beer is served COLD. This is a family favorite for us.

I asked the waitress because there were several things on the menu that interested me. Kennedy was willing to make suggestions but you had to ask and she admitted that she had never had the Fried Green Tomatoes.We ordered and it wasn't super fast but we got our food in a fairly short amount of time. While we waited, Kennedy filled our water cups and brought us more soda pop. It allowed us to find out that she's worked there for 3 years while attending Miami University.My son enjoyed his Cajun Chicken Sandwich and I LOVED the Fried Green Tomato BLT. We both sampled the Truffle Fries with mushroom seasoning and I'd say we gave the fries a very enthusiastic two thumbs up!!!!! Wait, if we both give them two thumbs up is that 4 four thumbs up? Oh never mind, anyway..........Left Field Tavern is way back in a corner of the water tower area in Oxford. Left Field is exactly what I would call this area. I NEVER think of walking back there. But after finding them to be open and going inside - I would go back! It's a very large dining area and there appear to be outdoor seating options. I suspect that they open up the entire restaurant when they have enough demand and plenty of staff. It's not the food but the service that seems to keep this place out in "left field". Ha ha......The atmosphere reminds me of a Chicago tavern and I liked our waitress. She made our visit special and there are few places in Oxford where Miami students know so much about the restaurant scene and she did a great job "selling" Oxford. Nice job and excellent service, Kennedy. We will be back!

Waitress very friendly and helpful. Just ordered salad and fried green tomatoes. Nice cold beer, enjoyed sitting on outside patio. Could use some flowe rs or decor on patio.

Small little Oxford restaurant, the first time I came here around 2018 was for lunch and it was super busy, service was quick, and the food was great. This time returning, I came around 2pm, unfortunately I sat at the bar for around 10 minutes before I saw anyone working (I wondered if they were open or not?) but once I was seen by the bartender I was able to put in my order and it was made quickly. I got the BBQ Chicken salad, BBQ rub was fantastic and greens were fresh. Plenty of more menu items to try, if I'm ever back in the Oxford area, I'll be sure to come for dinner when there's a more lively crowd. Other unfortunate event was there was a drunk man wandering around the restaurant in the middle of the day and had to be cut off from buying drinks during the lunch time. I hope he's ok.

You know what? An out of town fella could do a lot worse looking for a beer and some wings for dinner. Inside, seems a lot bigger and kinda nice compared to to outside entry whic was a nice surprise. I do like some spice to my wings and really think that the "sweet and spicy" sauce was way more sweet than spicy (little or no kick). The sauce is tasty for sure, but if you want a little spice, I'd opt for one of their other offerings. Took awhile to get my order. I wasn't in any kind of a rush so not an issue for me, but I think this solo diner may have fallen through the cracks for a bit. I do like my wings fried up crispier, I think they may have been rushed out a little after they found my order. I'd go back if I ever return to Oxford, I think.Quick edit after seeing some of the other reviews that my lost server experience might not be the exception to the rule. Again, I was in no rush so not and issue for me, but it might be something to be wary of if you dine here.

I understand that it's parents weekend at Miami, but this has happened time and time again this place is incredibly understaffed and the kitchen has to be in absolute shambles. There's a reason this restaurant isn't the only one in Oxford that's booked this weekend. We waited 45 minutes when there was ample room to sit everyone just to get sat at a table that was at 30 degree angle. We were sat at 6:30 and it's 8:45 just to have the waitress come and tell us they forgot to make 3 of our entrees. But wait! They are making it right now! I'll come tomorrow around noon and it still won't be ready. Shame on you Left Field Tavern, shame on you!Follow up: thanks for the impossible meat on my hoagie hippies!

Food was fine- service was horrible. The waiters repeatedly saw us but refused to help us. Their lame excuse was "we thought you were with another party" which was a group of frat boys while we were a family of four... for the price of the food, this place isn't worth it. There are better and cheaper options
