Service is a snails pace but food was really good. No sense of urgency in wait staff! They seemed far too interested in their cell phones than taking care of customers. (IE: went and got our own menus and silverware!)

Food was awesome. Had a hamburger steak and fries. Sweet tea. The kids had ribs, and chicken strips. The chicken strips were lightly breaded like they like it. Service was pretty good. Prices were a hair high but not bad by any means. We had 5 adults 4 children. The food was slow getting out for as busy as they were.

10/10 food, 10/10 service, 10/10 atmosphere Was in town looking for some good food for dinner, and stumbled on Red Oak Fillin’ Station, and I’m so glad I did. Ayana greeted me with a warm smile as I walked in, and sat me down at a table. She gave me some recommendations. She was so kind and helpful, and really provided a top tier experience. I decided on the sampler to get a little taste for their ribs, brisket, pulled pork and sausage. For my sides, I went with the brisket Mac n cheese, and the baked beans. Everything was fantastic. All the meats were so good with plenty of flavor. The ribs had a perfect crust that was sweet and rich, the sausage was great, the pulled pork was moist, and the brisket was crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. I tried all the bbq sauces, which were all great, but the spicy one was my favorite. The vibe in the restaurant was great - good music, nice and open, and just an all around good time. I’m glad I stopped and would gladly go back.
