点评:I took a friend to the Oak and Embers Tavern in Chesterland for a birthday lunch. It was a hot day and we felt like eating chicken. I had the 1/2 chicken
barbecue which had more dark meat than white. I was worried about not being able to cut it but our waitress assured me that I would be able to cut the chicken into pieces and it was correct. The Oak and Embers did not offer a grilled chicken breast for my friend, although they have pulled chicken, fried chicken, and turkey wraps. When I made the reservation on the phone, I explained it was a birthday. They offered a candle if we had dessert and said that I could bring in a birthday cake. I did not want to carry a cake for 2 and my friend did not want dessert at the end of the meal. My chicken came with corn bread, the choice of 2 sides, and I asked for extra sauce but please, no extra salt. The hostess brought everything out together after we each had water with lemon. The barbecue sauce is very sweet and has a slight kick to it, which I love. I would like a hotter sauce but my friend would have preferred a milder one. I chose the famous apple cole slaw which was delicious with tiny apple sticks in addition to cabbage. My other side dish was the best cheesy grits this side of the Mississippi. The corn bread was fluffy and had a glaze that was maple and butter! My family lives in Texas, so I know and appreciate good food! My friend ended up with an angus burger, and ordered brussel sprouts which were maybe a bit over-fried and perhaps over-crispy, but she loved her burger! The service was excellent and our server was wonderful. I am sorry I do not remember our server's name as I would ask for her again! I noticed that the prices were a few dollars higher than a place closer to home, but it was worth it, however, the restaurant was close to empty for this Friday, birthday lunch! I feel sorry that we did not ask if they have other sauces as the one on my chicken was very sweet and delicious but my friend, who had a birthday, did not enjoy it. She did, however, remark that she thought my meal looked incredible!

烧烤的黑肉多于白肉。我担心不能切它,但我们的女服务员向我保证我可以把鸡肉切成块,这是正确的。橡树和余烬餐厅没有为我的朋友提供烤鸡胸肉,尽管他们有拉鸡、炸鸡和火鸡卷。当我通过电话预订时,我解释说今天是生日。如果我们吃甜点,他们会提供一支蜡烛,并说我可以带一个生日蛋糕。我不想带两个人的蛋糕,我的朋友也不想在饭后吃甜点。我的鸡肉配有玉米面包,有两种配菜可供选择,我要求额外的酱汁,但请不要加盐。我们各自喝了柠檬水后,女主人把所有的东西都拿出来了。烤肉酱很甜,还有点辣味,我很喜欢。我想要一种更辣的酱汁,但我的朋友更喜欢一种更温和的酱汁。我选择了著名的苹果凉拌卷心菜沙拉,除了卷心菜之外,还有小苹果棒,味道鲜美。我的另一道配菜是密西西比河这边最好的奶酪粗粉。玉米面包蓬松,上面有枫糖和黄油的釉料!我的家人住在德克萨斯州,所以我知道并欣赏美食!我的朋友最后吃了一个安格斯汉堡,并点了抱子甘蓝,可能有点炸过头,也可能太脆了,但她喜欢她的汉堡!服务非常好,我们的服务员也很棒。抱歉,我不记得我们服务员的名字了,因为我会再次询问她!我注意到价格比离家较近的地方贵了几美元,但这是值得的,然而,这个周五的生日午餐餐厅几乎空无一人!我很遗憾我们没有问他们是否还有其他酱汁,因为我的鸡肉上的酱汁非常甜可口,但我的朋友过了生日,不喜欢它。然而,她确实说她认为我的饭菜看起来棒极了!
