We had a great brunch this morning. Arriving around 9:30a, the line wasnt bad at all and plenty of seating. We ordered waffles, fried pickles, fried potatoes, brisket taco, and biscuits to eat. Coffee and a #9 or nine something drink. Very good, filling, and very pleasant atmosphere. Everyone (staff and patrons) were extremely friendly. We will definitely return.

Of all the Creek restaurants I think this is my favorite. I’m not sure what differentiates it, but the atmosphere is just always good. The guys at the counter are always nice. The music is good. Their food is great, notably the salads. Which sounds silly to say about a place that specializes more so in beer and comfort food, but it’s true! The most recent time we went we got the chicken kale caesar and the white oak salad, both were amazing! I think if a restaurant can do a good salad, then they really know what they’re doing. Plenty of options for all kinds of eaters, open, spacious patio, sports, good music, good vibes. Shouldn’t be missed!

Okay the brisket burger was really good and is worth a try for people who are curious about the menu. I would recommend to get fries instead of the chips if you want more flavor. This location is a bar/restaurant type scene so just know to expect that. The person who brought our food and cleaned the table were nice and helped get things we need or thrown away. Its a good spot I might come back again if Im in the area.

Onion Creek Coffee House continues to be one of our favorite restaurants for brunch or lunch. Their breakfast tacos are one of a kind and their frozen mimosas are on freaking point. We will continue to stop by and bring friends any chance we get. Literally a must try for anyone..

Great atmosphere... food selection could be better. Not here to complain everyone has their place to eat.... this in particular wouldnt be one of my top choices. I like how they had a DJ playing music during brunch and that you can bring your fur babies out on the porch while you eat.

Such an awesome laid back place! I’ve been a couple of times and enjoyed my time there. Mimosas are good, burgers are delicious! I had the Bernard burger last night and the smoked jalapeño in there was perfect. Great fries too. I hear the breakfast is really good so I’ll need to come again!

I used to love coming to Onion Creek for a weekend brunch but am very dissatisfied in my meal this morning. The waffle came out almost as soon as I finished ordering was not warm and was flavorless. It tasted like it had been sitting around waiting to be ordered....Also the menu says $7 for a frozen mimosa and I was charged $8. When I pointed it out the server said they had new menu pricing and guess they hadn’t updated the posted menus yet. Pretty frustrating...I’ll come back again but get an egg dish I’ve had before and know is good.Update: they replaced my waffle with a freshly made one. Much better.

An eclectic local bar with a good beer selection and good food. warm atmosphere that’s family friendly. parking is limited and difficult like the other bars in the area, but there is a fair amount of bicycle racks.Monday and Wednesday cast iron steak nights available for takeout for a $2 takeout fee.

GML hit the restaurant trail again today. Taken aback a little on arrival…computer was down so caused a slowdown with counter service…especially using the old manual card slide to process credit cards. Also very limited parking…mainly on the street. That’s all the negatives that were more than compensated by the atmosphere and the food. Great indoor and terrific outdoor seating. Great bar and terrific selection of beer. Thursday is Throwback Thursday which means THE CLASSIC for $7 (vs$13)…comes with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, ketchup and mustard on challah bun. At such a price at least one of GML couldn’t pass up a good deal!! Looked great and reported to be flavorful and juicy. Comes with CHIPS..upgraded to handmade ONION RINGS for $2…crispy crust and tender on the inside. Definitely worth the money…you know how GML love onion rings!!! The rest of GML +1 had THE BERNARD…$15…cheddar, caramelized onions, bacon, avocado, and smoked jalapeño on challah bun. DELICIOUS!!! 3 upgraded to ONION RINGS 1 stuck with FRIES…no one was disappointed. Will definitely go again…hopefully when the computer is working!

My first visit started off great! Friendly employees, fast service and food was a miss. I was disappointed! Received my burger and fries. First few bites were ok; my burger bun and patty was cold and as I ate more in middle- realized it was cooked SUPER RARE! Eww. So, I said ok rare is ok but I looked it more, I realized it wasnt cooked long enough at all! Smh not good. A miss! Should also asked how well customer wants it cooked.....

Never - Ever - Go HERE! Heres why. Food was decent. Patio atmosphere was pleasant with DJ playing brunch tunes. Staff was adequate. AND THEN - one of our group asked where the restrooms were. He was pointed to a unisex port-a-potty... It was the filthiest, vilest and gag inducing experience ever. No rodeo or MS150 bathroom EVER was like this. I suddenly realized that their employees had to use this too and then went back into the kitchen to fix the food and pour the drinks. This is the first review I have ever written ... but this place should not be allowed to operate this way. Shame shame shame.

If you travel the White Oak trail this is a must, within easy reach of the trail system and you can pull up on a bike and full Bike apparal and not be out of place. I dont know what you would have to do to stick out in the heights but this is a great spot. Huge drink selection, solid food choices artistically named and presented. Prices are aligned with the area which run a bit higher than other suburbs.

Onion Creek turned out to be a great surprise! Looking for dog-friendly, we stopped by for Saturday breakfast. Food was very tasty. Drinks are creative. Shade and fans made outdoor dining comfortable on a muggy morning. Also the live DJ was great, really cool sounds and not too loud to be intrusive. We had to get on the road but I was really tempted to hang out for another drink and just chill and listen to music.

This place is hands-down incredible. Became packed even on a rainy night, but I love the cozy interior. Tons of outdoor seating. They have $5/lb crawfish Mondays, and its slightly less than $8/lb otherwise. We got 5 lbs for $35 and got the fish and chips special. The fries and fish were perfection, and the crawfish was soo delicious as well. You can get butter or seasoning with the crawfish, but its also perfect without. Its beautiful at night with all the lights!!

Met someone who has been loved it and they in my opinion have bad taste in food. So I let them here. Its not their fault its just a dive bar. Nothing special. The service was great foe drinks. I didnt order food or want anything there so thats just my experience I dont think anything bad of the place I just didnt chose to go here and they didnt engage me enough to earn my business. Maybe some things could be done better. The bathroom was a crime scene not where I want to eat. Nuff said. I wash my hands before I eat (like an adult) it was a huge turn off.

Been coming here for years off and on. The food is always great, the staff at the register were not great this time. Took a group of Coworkers that have never been. They enjoyed the food, but we all agreed the cashier/bartender was very blah. Tip for him, if you smiled you could of had a better tip.

We went on Memorial Day because they advertised bucket specials- they literally posted about them that morning on their social media. When we got there, the bartenders were so rude and the guy told my friend that they sold all their cheap beer over the weekend, so they werent having bucket specials. I asked the lady 3 times about specials before she finally told me about their $5 glasses of wine (after repeating twice that there were no specials). I even asked if they would honor the all day Monday happy hour that they advertise on their website and they said no. We definitely wont be back- there are too many other nice and inclusive bars on white oak.

Great spot to eat, drink and chill. They have outside and inside seating areas. Wide variety of food and enough drink options for the majority. Pictured is the frozen mimosa (highly recommend). Great hot dog, customized how we like and got the chicken tacos subbing the flour tortillas for lettuce wrap (great option if looking for healthier food). The queso fresco was a little spicy and green sauce went great with it. Side order of fries as well. Service was great & friendly.

While it appeared to be a great place at first it ended up a terrible experience. We were first asked to pay and tip for food we hadn’t even received yet. Was then given half a cup of lemonade and told to go fill up the tea half myself for the Arnold Palmer. Then the food came out and the burger was charred black. Lastly asked for a to-go box which never came.

This place is making a hard run as one of my favorite brunch places across the country.Heres the scoop. Order at the counter, find a table, sip that frozen mimosa or Bloody Mary until the food arrives, and then go to town.The chicken and waffles were a perfect remedy for a holiday party gone wrong the night before.Sweet atmosphere. Awesome menu. Fairly easy parking. Youll come for a quick bite but end up staying all morning.
