The Scene – A long, wooden bar, Crayola red and yellow brick walls, mini fountains and hand-painted tables welcome equally eclectic Oakhurst diners who saunter over to this laid-back locale. But the kid-friendly atmosphere and central location truly provide neighborhood appeal. Amiable servers make up for a leisurely kitchen. – – The Food – Aptly named, the Oakhurst Grill sears healthy portions of chicken, pork, steak and seafood with a little New Orleans fire. Plump crab cakes have just the right amount of kick from a mango Scotch bonnet sauce. The horseradish-crusted…
Food was expensive and terrible

I should have know better than to go to a restaurant that I had never even heard of before. The drinks were made improperly after having given specific instructions. When we asked if they had bread, the waitress plainly said that it wasn't good, we said we still wanted it?which was a huge mistake. I don't understand how a restaurant could serve something like that?it as like eating an old dry sponge. I ordered the Horseradish crusted Tilapia from the waitresses recommendation. Captain D's would have been better. besides not being cooked in the middle, the dish has absolutely no flavor at all. When the check arrived, I was shocked that I alone had spent 50 dollars on the completely inadequate meal. I had to go to Wendy's on the way home.
- Pros: nothing
- Cons: expensive, bad food
Apparently under new management

They no longer have the bottomless Mimosas or Bellinis for their Brunch. The server did not know what a bellini was and had to go check that they did not have it. She was very attentive and the service was great. The food was just average. The server mentioned "we're not that fancy anymore" leading us to believe that they have a new owner. We crossed them off of our brunch list. There are just to many good places out there that have good quality for value.
- Pros: Nice patio, though kinda small
- Cons: not what we were expecting
I hope Oakhurst Grill gets their act together again

The first time I ate at Oakhurst grill was in January in '06 for brunch and it was fantastic. The next time I stopped by for dinner almost a year later with a friend from Africa and the food was just okay. Just tonight I came there around 5:30 with my two young children and I don't think I will never go back. The service was very slow even though we were just about the only table there. It took 25 minutes to get one entree after the salad. The caesar is small for the almost $6 price and I had to send it back due to dirt on the leaves. The fried chicken entree at almost $12 is just a large fried chicken patty with gravy poured on it. The potatoes and spinach were good but the biscuit was old and hard. The manager was a little defensive and offered to remember me and take care of me the next time I came in but in the end I still paid over $20 for a small caesar salad (the only thing I ate). Oakhurst Grill missed the mark totally this time. As a resident of Oakhurst, they lost a good customer. I hope they get their act together!
