Oak and Embers Tavern - CHESTERLAND

The food and service here never disappoints. So lucky to have this piece of BBQ paradise here in Chesterland.

Very good food with a fantastic staff. No concerns with anything that any of us ordered. Not what it used to be…I’m updating this previous review. The pulled pork nachos are still decent. The brisket is NOT what it used to be. No smoke coloring, plain, not tender, and highly disappointing. The mac n' cheese was still OK but the cheddar mashed potatoes were blah. The staff here is the only redeeming quality remaining as the food has definitely lost quality. Our waitress was efficient and attentive.

We made reservations on our way to Cleveland for a show. We got right in. The bar side was very busy (530) rest of the restaurant not as much. As the night rolled on most of tables around us filled up. The sever was friendly and attentive although when we asked about any specials she didn't not mention that we where still in happy hour. Food wise, we ordered the nachos with chicken for an app. I will say they are kinda boring with large amount of cheese sauce large pieces of chicken not shredded and barbecue sauce. My boyfriend missed the normal tomatoes lettuce etc that one usually sees on nachos. The cheese sauce for me was very spicy. The chicken was tender and good. Lucky for us they were half off for happy hour which we discovered at the end. My boyfriend and I shared a three meat platter choosing the brisket (up charge) ribs and pulled pork. You get two side as well as corn bread. We chose the Mac and cheese and onion rings. All the meats where good, had great flavor and pretty tender. No complaints. The onion rings where soggy and I did not care for the batter or flavor. The mac and cheese was super peppery almost over powering and was the only flavor I could taste. My son got the mac bowl with pulled pork. He said it was good which is what I expect from my 16 yr old lol. Over all a good experience.

Server was intuitive. Food was solid, portions were plentiful. Lounge was nice bathrooms were clean, but need work.

First Time here !...OUTSTANDING pulled pork!!!...melts in your mouth, my two sides of smashed potatoes and baked beans equally as good. Best Pulled Pork AROUND BY FAR !. Will definitely go back ! Would highly suggest making reservations if going on a Saturday evening.
