Oak & Antler American Tavern - El Paso (TX)

5 /5 Lawrence Whitman: Very nice dining experience. Food was very good. My 17 year old said the smash burger was the best burger he ever had. Braised short ribs tender fall off the bone. Fish was very light, one bone in the fish (not the biggest deal). Black eye pea hummus was fair, not really my cup of tea. Brussel sprouts were delicious, may have been the star of the meal. Service was exceptional, waiter gave good recs, (since we were first timers), and owner checked on us. Atmosphere nice, not too busy, not too loud, low lighting very comfortable. Definitely recommend and will be back to check out some of the other dining options.

5 /5 Gregory Venditto: I liked the short ribs as they were tender and slow cooked. My friends liked the fish and chips (some of the best ever tasted) and the food was very good for all. I had a problem with my Lagunitas IPA because it did not taste correct, so they switched it out and were nice about the change. I know exactly what that beer tastes like so there was definitely an issue. I would go back again, for sure.

4 /5 John Ballesteros: Great spot with a lively atmosphere!The vibe here is perfect for catching up with friends or just relaxing with some drinks. We tried a few different menu items during our visit. The pork chop and braised ribs were big hits with our group—our friends couldn’t stop raving about them! We also ordered the fried chicken, which was super crunchy, but we found it a bit lacking in flavor. On the bright side, the sides were delicious, especially the mac n cheese, French fries, and crispy Brussels sprouts. Overall, I’d definitely come back to try more dishes and see what else the menu has to offer. If you’re planning a visit, I recommend making a reservation since it gets pretty busy in the evening!

5 /5 Jorge Mora: Been here several times and every time it never fails to impress us. Amazing cocktails, good wine, delicious food - love the deviled eggs & brussel sprouts - and friendly attentive service. Live entertainment adds to the experience and makes a great place for a date or night out with close friends. We went 1/2/26 and got a personally written thank you note wishing us a great year. I suggest you get the pork in marsala cream sauce as your entree, thats my favorite, though weve gotten other entrees and all are equally delicious. Lawrence is attentive and proud of his establishment. Thanks for this gem.

5 /5 Sarah Haxton: This one is going on our frequent flier stops. We enjoyed Oak and Antler as a bar, but we went as a restaurant for the first time tonight and it was incredible. As soon as we were greeted at the door we felt like everyone was glad we were there. Service was attentive, polite, and prompt. Every single employee was kind and warm and we were never left waiting for service. Our server was wonderful (Im sorry I forgot his name!). The drinks were delicious, as expected. I had the rosemary gimlet and my husband had the maple bacon washed old fashioned and both were amazing, we absolutely could have stayed for more had we ubered haha. As for food, the fish and chips is now my favorite in El Paso. My husband got the smash burger, and the flavor of that was also impressive. The menu is small but mighty. Everything else that passed us out of the kitchen looked great too. The owner stopped by our table at the end of the meal and actually spoke to us like he truly cared about us. We were so full we had to decline dessert, but we cant wait to return to be impressed by their dessert as well. Love the overall atmosphere too, trendy but relaxed! Id highly suggest checking it out!!!
