I have to say…..this was the worst Chinese experience I have ever had.

Maybe their specialty lies in other dishes….but most definitely do NOT try the Sweet and Sour Chicken, or the Sesame Chicken.

I however will never know….because I wont be back. I may not even go into the shopping plaza again because I would see the restaurant…and it would just conjure up the horrid images burned into my head about this dining experience…..it was that bad.

It’s your standard Big Boy. Clean, Good Service and Solid food at a good price.

The tap is a small pub in downtown Oxford. They have plenty of TV’s and Beers on tap. They have your standard Bar menu…burgers, sandwiches, fish n chips etc…but the quality is usually outstanding.

Tried takeout a few times…the food is solid…but I have only tried the sweet and sour chicken.

We went here once in October 2008…. The food was good…but not QUITE worth the prices we were charged. I would have liked to see a lot more beer’s on tap….as they only had 2. The service was very good, and the place looks great. We will try again sometime….

We tried the Surf and Turf and Porterhouse…both were very good….but the Surf and Turf came with a very strange side which we have never seen nor heard of….it was spinach and broccoli stalks…and wasn’t very good. Overall it was a very nice place for a date, or if the boss is paying.

We only ate here once about a week ago. The inside is very large and has a large bar area with lots of TV’s. Plenty of beers on tap…I would guess around 10-15 (including Magic Hat #9 which is very hard to find on tap).

We both tried a nightly special….it was called “Black Widow” which was Beef Tenderloin covered in Blue Cheese and Red Peppers on a small Piece of toast, served with a side of loaded mashed potato’s and some veggie’s. This dish was outstanding….and would have it again if its still on the special list when I go back.

They also had VERY good bread sticks….if they are any indication of the pizza they have listed as “famous”….it will be nothing short of spectacular.

The menu also had your standard bar food, Burgers, Sandwiches as well as some Mexican.

If you have been to a BW3’s…then you know the quality of the food. They have plenty of beers on tap…i would say between 15 and 20. Lots of TV’s and NTN trivia, Pool tables, etc.

Occasionally there are issues with small runaway children plowing head-on into the bar area at night…which can be annoying when your trying to smoke, drink and swear as much as possible….. but I figure if they are there…they should enjoy the whole experience.

There is a large non-bar area in the restaurant where the small children are usually housed….however I think a small investment to place half doors in the “family area” to prevent escapes would be a good idea.

The restaurant also has a large deck area on the back over looking a small lake, very nice in the summer time.

The food here is usually pretty good. The Bayou Chicken Tortellini for one is very good. I am not a huge fan of the other pasta dishes….just not my style…but nothing really wrong with them. I have been told the Pizza is very good…but have yet to try.

The star of the show for me is fried pickles….very good and unusual taste.

They have a few beers on tap…I would guess 3-6…but nothing too exciting. There is a small bar area and TV’s throughout. Also a very large moose head….which is cool.

Best Chinese food I have ever had…anywhere…and at any price. This is a very small mom and pop looking restaurant. It is a very strange and surreal experience picking up your carry out from here….I don’t really know how to explain it…but it just makes me think of a Seinfeld episode. While you are there waiting…be sure to check out some stellar magazine selections from the early 1990’s….you will see what I mean.

Anyway…if you live in the area and like Chinese take out…try this place…..and don’t let the looks fool you.
