This was our first visit after reading the reviews. We had a party of four and ordered sliced pork, chopped pork, shredded pork and half rack of ribs with chicken. Our appetizer was onion rings and corn fritters. Every thing we had was excellent! Plenty of food for the price and the pork was very tasty. My parents ordered the... More

We thank you very sincerely for coming in. I will be sure and tell Maggie about your pleasant experience at our store. Kudo's also to the chef on down to the dishwasher. Folks dont realize how many "moving parts" there are that make it all happen. Say "hello" when you are in again. Regards, The Oakwood Team at Lady Lake More

All I can say is Wow!!!! I've been all over in search of good barbecue food and ribs from just being out in Tennessee a few months ago, to famous Virgil's in NYC!!! Nothing compares to this place my parents took me to while visiting them in The Villages. My dad makes some pretty awesome ribs himself which I asked... More

Oakwood probably has the very best BBQ ribs in The Villages vicinity. Add cole slaw and a pitcher of beer - and it's party time. Unfortunately you can't get there by golf cart! Always packed. Most times there is a wait - but the ribs are worth it.

We come to The Villages every year and our first stop is Oakwood's for ribs. Get there early, or you will have a wait.

Full rack of Babyback ribs that just fall off the bone with a little kiss. Dry rubbed or wet served with a good variety of side dishes. My favorite side dish is roasted corn salad which this is the only place I have ever had it served. Try it and it will become one of your favorites. Besides ribs they... More

I was in Orlando for a conference and planned a day away before heading back to Chicago. I ended up in Lady Lake at the Microtel next door to this restaurant... very hungry after a day of kayaking. So instead of getting back in the car and looking for someplace to eat, I walked across the parking lot and ate... More

If you are looking for great value and delicious food the Oakwood Smokehouse & Grill is the place to go. The staff was friendly and we realized if there were that many folks standing outside waiting for a table it had to be great. Our wait was about a half an hour but there was probably twenty or so folks... More
