Oakwood Bar & Grill

Surprisingly good food and an elevated menu for a sports bar! Oakwood has excellent steak tips- great meat quality, tender, and flavorful always. The au jus adds moisture and exaggerated flavor, making the experience a little more interesting, but they're fine on their own! I normally dip the toast in it. You could make little bites with the steak, sauce, and toast or do as I do and eat the toast on its own. I would also recommend their seared ahi tuna appetizer- always fresh, always delicious. The food at Oakwood is tasty and consistent. It stays pretty busy and the parking lot is often full, so much so that you may need to find street parking. It's dark but comfortable inside with booths, high tops, and the bar as seating options. The service is friendly but you do occasionally have to flag the staff down on extra busy nights. They have two pool tables if that's your thing, play music, and have daily food and drink specials. It's a dark and cozy spot for locals meeting for an after work happy hour, department celebrations, or a place to watch the game with friends. You don't gamble by going to Oakwood Bar & Grill, it's gonna be good :)For my non alcoholic brothers and sisters, they have Heineken and Labatt 0%

"Music is blastin', we're havin' a ballEverybody doin' it, right in the hallDoin' the Detroit breakdownOh Motor City Shakedown"(J Geils Band)I'm on the board of a non-profit and we all met in Dearborn for our Mid Year meeting. Our second meal together brought nine of us to the Oakwood Bar & Grill for lunch on Wednesday.Its very much has the look of an old school place with dark walls and dark furniture, It has plenty of tables, chairs, and booths and big screen TVs (we watched some World Cup soccer during lunch).Lots of familiar comfort foods here -fish and chips, soups, fried chicken and seafood and fish, burgers, sandwiches, and chicken, steak, pasta, and Mexican and Italian style entrees.I went with a bowl of their chili (just $5.50) and a Side Salad ($4.00) Pretty reasonably priced, right?My meal was fabulous! The chili was slightly spiced and came with a blanket of diced onions and cheese. It was a good portion at a fair price and I thought it was a great value.Now Side Salads can be a tricky proposition. Sometimes they come in a teeny tiny size, like the plastic cups you get with cocktail or tartar sauce. Not here! My side salad was a big plate of lettuce, quartered cucumber slices, thin onion slices, diced tomatoes, croutons and a dusting of shredded cheese. Another dish with a high "value".Our server did a fine job with our big table and we walked out quite satisfied with everything - food, price, and service.By the way, there is a pool table in the back with the a marinara sauce red felt!! Very cool indeed.

The TLDR: The "Jive Turkey Reuben" is one of the most delicious and satisfying sandwiches you will ever find. I'm not joking, I really do mean that.Now, Oakwood Bar and Grill is a casual spot populated mostly by locals and Ford workers with some visitors sprinkled in since it's only a 5 minute drive from The Henry Ford and Greenfield Village.It's on my rotation whenever I'm in the area because of the impressive food menu that offers a little bit of everything: Burgers, sandwiches, wings, pizza, steaks and seafood. It's all a good value because of the generous portion sizes.Their beer list is pretty impressive and of course they have plenty of Michigan brews available. Their bartenders can make most any drink you might want with the awesome liquor selection they carry. I'm sold on this place and if I lived in the area, I'd be a regular.A solid 4.5 stars.My top 5 recommendations:** Cracklin' Calamari - Crispy, crunchy and flavorful.** Jumbo Lump Maryland Crab Cakes - Succulent sweet crab patties sauteed to perfection.** Sweet Teriyaki Glaze Salmon - Fresh tasting Atlantic Salmon drizzled in a sweet teriyaki sauce.** Jive Turkey Reuben - This is a half pound of turkey on fresh marbled rye bread with a delicious cole slaw. Get yourself some onion rings with it.** Fish and Chips - These would make most any up standing Irishman (or damned-ass Brit) proud.X The only thing that didn't impress me was their Impossible burger. I mean, it was good as far as Impossible burgers are concerned but I'd rather have ~3 BK Impossible Whoppers for the price of their one.** Also, they get very busy, very fast so get there early or head over in the late afternoon or early evening for better service.

Service food and ambience are great+++++! Have had several menu items and no complaints: burgers, wings, fish & chips, perch dinner, lamb chops , Caesar salad with Cajun salmon delicious. Have invited several friends to dine. They too enjoy everything. A few have become return diners.

Usually love coming here. I ordered the Big Bacon Burger with a side of sweet potato fries. I get my burger with just lettuce on it. Very disappointed. Service was quick for a to go order. Probably will stick to ordering inside from now on.

The food was very expensive and was brought wrong order of margaritas was over charged for luxury margaritas but they were mediocre house . . I ordered a steak, medium rare and they gave me a cut up dry steak pasta that I did not order and a house salad with chicken tenders and spent 77.34 was way over priced and not better then the hotel steak I cooked on a hot plate . Ambience is very nice seem very clean. The waitress didn't tell me about Thursday's prime rib specials when I asked her about specials overall, I feel completely robbed. I wish I could get some of my money back.

Food was amazing, my husband and I both had sliders and there were so good. Great service, cold beer and even better food!

I went there last night I got four burgers they were all burnt and I live in 25 minutes away from the restaurant the fries were hard I called it there's that last night after I got home the manager tried to tell me that my burgers were still cooking in the box on the way home and that's why they were burnt and the way they were and then she didn't give me my money back and I spent $70 last night and she tells me she'll leave me at $25 gift card and that's all she can do for me I will never go here again their food was horrible and I don't like the way they handle business

Very Over priced !!! ranch was watered down like 2% milk and I do mean watered down!!! and wouldn't even stay on the dry chicken strip ., The Cook or someone helping him was in the back eating French fries with the same gloves he was boxing up and touching food with - Yum!

Food is mediocreHygiene is a second thoughtService is terrible. Loud and annoying.
