Established in 2012 by Ronnie Evans and Philip Moseley, Blue Oak is a classic barbeque restaurant and bar known for their Alabama-inspired dishes served in a laid-back atmosphere. The full brick walls and the wooden furniture, give the space a modern yet casual feel. The pit plates, brisket, smoked chicken wings and speciality sandwiches are some of their signature food items on their menu. Blue Oaks also has a full bar stocked with locally brewed craft beer and limited edition spirits.
The graffiti-covered exterior of this quaint restaurant is sure to catch your attention while strolling on the Jackson Avenue. As you step inside, you are welcomed into a disarmingly simple setting where pleasingly compensates for the lack of frills. At Jackson Turkey and the Wolf, sandwiches take center stage with options like the lemony yogurt infused lamb neck roti and the smoked ham laden Virginia french roll waiting to delight your palate. Cocktails such as the interesting blue curaçao and coconut milk concoction and the Julie And Candy quench your thirst and complement every item on the menu. If you have arrived with kids, the cute animal-shaped table numbers are sure to fancy them along with the limited but delicious selection of desserts served here.
