Oak Tree Tavern and Connie’s Pub

Matt Pavliv

I've been coming to VIR for years and am super disappointed with the Tavern these days. The menu is tiny, the food is bad, they are understaffed, etc. When options are limited (VIR is a 20 minute drive from anything worthwhile), they need to have some decent food option. Prior to the new VIR ownership, you used to be able to come to the tavern after a day on track, get a decent steak cooked to order, some delicious sides, good apps, and it wasn't crazy priced either. I gave the tavern a shot a week ago and the burger I ordered was one of the worst I've had...ever. Until VIR gets their $#@& in order, I'd recommend either bringing your food or making the trip to Millies for pizza or Danville for a real dinner.

great location, beautiful building but the food here has a lot left to be desired... if you have time I'd go to Danville by the river for decent food but 20 min away . the staff are friendly though

The place itself is actually amazing and very beautiful. They had a buffet instead of a regular menu I am assuming it was due to the races being held at VIR. The food was okay, they had a Cajun theme buffet with only 6 items to choose from and a premade salad. The shrimp boil didn't have a lot of flavor and the sausage and rice was cold and also lacking flavor. There were 3 different types of cupcakes and mine was a little dry. The food was okay but for the price it was not quite what I expected. Be prepared it is a little pricey. Though it was a buffet and the server only brings you drinks they do add 20% gratuity to your bill for a party over 6. Our server made around 80.00 in tips for our table alone and she brought 10 drinks to the table and took away one set of plates since we didnt go back for seconds. I have no issues with places doing gratuity however i am not quite sure 80.00 for 10 people who are getting their own food from the buffet was worth going back to eat there. I have definitely had better food at cheaper prices. The waitstaff was friendly and of course like I said a very pretty setting. I think I would like to try the actual menu to make sure it wasn't just a fluke experience. 🤞

Absolutely an awesome dining experience in a beautiful atmosphere offering The Connie's Pub for a refreshing cocktail before a 5 star dinner in a classy candlelit dining room serving incredible food. Steaks, Shrimp, Chicken and the list goes on and on. Delicious. Southern hospitality at it's finest. See you again real soon that's for sure. Thanks for an amazing evening.
