The Parched Oak

Drinks are " on time" the food was great as well. I had the parched oak burger. Shauna had the some vegetable rice bowl, said it was good.

Came at 6:30 pm on a Saturday evening. The clientele was sparse, the wait staff heavy proportionately. It was a warm and inviting environment, the decorations standard for this bar/restaurant. I sat at the bar to get waited on quickly. As quickly as one came to greet and take my dink order, another asked if she could serve me as she had yet to have a table. Fine ny me. However, the service was not good as she stated doing something else in the middle of making my drink, along with talking on the phone when I was about to ask about my drink. She graciously put the phone down, went back to my half mixed drink and brought it to me. Then she says, would you like something to eat? What??? I gave you my order 15 minutes ago, I thought. I guess my look alerted her, when she remembered and sis oh no, you already ordered, and walked to the register to put it in. Still, a very sparse crowd. Poor service. I also had a glass of water that was clearly tap and not pleasant. Get a water purifier if you're gonna serve tap water My food came after about 45 minutes door to table. The burger was juicy and the fries were good, although they were the soggy variety. I don't know if I'll ever return. Since downtown DeLand isn't a huge spot, not sure I'll be able to avoid it living here.

Aspiring to be a dive bar, but doesn't quite make it. Pesto chicken sandwich: chicken was overdone and dry, accompanying bun was burnt. Meh.

This place is amazing EVERY single time!! I get the bowl with shrimp every time because it's so good but my husband and son have tried something different every time. The burgers- delicious, wings-excellent, fried pickles- out of this world. Always amazing service and we've all waiters. Cute little place to chill in the back or cozy up to the bar.

We had another great dinner here. My daughter loved the TPO Burger and the chips. All the food was so delicious. Glad to have another go-to restaurant in Downtown!

The service was insane. We asked for tea but were brought soda water. Placed our order, but ten minutes later our waitress said she was ready to take our order. We told her she already took our order and she said to tell her again. She brought wrong orders, then at the end of our meal brought two identical orders in to go boxes. Wild!! We gave the second order to a homeless lady. OWNERS....check in on your staff. Something isn't right.

Our group was hungry and were looking for a place without a wait. We ended up here, I had no expectations but was pleasantly surprised. At first glance I expected just your average bar food. The place was clean, but there was a mild smoke smell, so it's something to consider if you're sensitive to that. The staff, however, was extremely friendly, greeting us as we came in, sitting us immediately, and were just overall accommodating. My wife's and my food did come out around 5-10 minutes after everyone else's (we were the only ones to get flatbreads) which was a little annoying, but they were worth the wait. Like I said I was expecting average bar food, but these were some of the best flat breads I've ever had. The crust was more of a peta bread than a crust, which I very much enjoyed. The flavor on them was good and the presentation was wonderful!We will definitely be stopping in again for those flatbreads again soon.

Another amazing experience with this place! I'm visiting family from out of state and demanded we go here again. Their fried pickles are to absolutely die for! Had the Gouda burger for an entree and it was so good! This restaurant/bar is a must have every time I'm in town! 10/10!!!!

Great service and the sandwiched are hardy portions that are flavorful. If you are in downtown Deland it is a must try

The food is simply amazing! Great atmosphere! Danielle was the best!!! Beers on tap, food & music!
