Oakwood Smokehouse & Grill — Restaurant in Clermont

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....

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...

This place is a great family restaurant. I love how homey it is with its rustic charm and decorations. My family and I got seated at a huge booth, that they have in the middle of the restaurant. It was amazing and we loved it! We got served by Keith and he was very kind and helpful by telling me about the daily sale on the full rack of ribs meal, which was only $2 more than the half rack making it $2 less than the regular price! What a bargain!!! I would not have known this if he had not offered it to me. My family also loves the fact that they serve Cheerwine soda in huge cups, which is our favorite as we used to live in the Carolinas, which is where it is made. Our food was amazing! My ribs were falling off the bone and I love the big bottles of bbq sauce that they have right at the table. We also love to talk about the decorations as my family love to hunt and fish and there is a lot of heads on the wall and taxidermied animals around the restaurant, so if you dont like that sort of thing you might want to go somewhere else. But I will tell you that you will be missing something special, so just give it a try cause the food and service is...
