The food and our waitress was awful. Food was cold and we never got refills on our drinks. They brought my dinner out 10 minutes after my wife’s dinner. Worst food I’ve had in 20 years !

This is one of our favorites in Auburn. Their drinks are the great. The food is pretty good.

Great service the staff is very friendly! However the food is a bit lacking. The chicken Florentine was dryer than dry, I'm talking like how long was this sitting under a heat lamp dry. It also lacked flavor. I also had a salad from here and the tomato was rotten. But it is a great location and great staff. Maybe I just haven't ordered what they are best at.

I’m shocked that a manager did not address the fact that we waited 1.5 hours after we ordered food for it to finally come. We arrived at 5:45pm so that we could eat and then make it over to the women’s basketball game. There were only a few other parties inside and on the patio. They were not crowded at all. After waiting an hour and 20 minutes, I asked the hostess if the food was on its way out soon, she said our ticket would be next. I let her know how long we had been waiting. Our server was nice, but he did not fill our waters or bring our last round of drinks that we ordered. Nothing was addressed by the manager, even when I voiced my concern. We were ignored on the way out by the hostess. It takes a lot for me to leave a bad review or say something about the service, but over an hour and a half wait for food is awful. We missed most of the basketball game too. They charged us full price for everything and only our server apologized for the delay.

Recently, I dined at Live Oak and, unfortunately, the experience left much to be desired. The service was notably poor, beginning with an excessive 90-minute wait for our food. This delay was especially frustrating as we had arrived early at 5:45 pm to a relatively quiet restaurant.The drinks, both in quantity and delivery, were underwhelming. Our server seemed overwhelmed or inattentive, often leaving before ensuring our needs were met. Despite repeated requests, our two tables received only one refill of water, which were insufficient.Our evening plans were disrupted as we missed the start of a basketball game, held up by the long wait for our meals. The food itself was average, lacking any standout qualities that might have compensated for the service shortcomings. Observing the staff, it appeared many were congregating in the kitchen, not actively attending to guests. Attempts to catch our server's attention often resulted in a belated acknowledgment, yet still failed to improve the level of service.The interior of Live Oak was smaller than anticipated, contrasting with a larger outdoor patio where guests seemed slightly more content. However, nothing about the atmosphere stood out as particularly inviting or impressive. The menu's variety, catering to both kids and adults, initially seemed promising. Yet, upon closer inspection, it offered a predictable mix of typical college mixed drinks and standard fare.In summary, the disappointment in service at Live Oak overshadowed other aspects of the dining experience. Given these shortcomings, I find it hard to recommend this establishment for future visits.

I love Live Oaks but they are not open until 4pm on Saturdays even though there are football games going on. Today, they decided not to have draft. It would be nice if they would open at 11am on Saturday (when there are college games) and open at 12 on Sunday for the NFL.

Perhaps an off night for them. Restaurant has a good vibe and outdoor seating. Wait staff took forever/rarely came back. Waters empty and asked for fork to eat with, came back 10 minutes later. Food was over cooked/seasoned and the tuna was plain bad. Disappointed considering the menu looks great.

It's is a Saturday afternoon and this is the FSU bar. It is standing room only and there are 3 bartenders and one server. Each time to get a drink at the bar is 20 minutes waiting at the bar. Bartenders are rude. Not even hello, need a credit card to start a tab. That's the opening line.... Bathrooms are another story. Gave this place a second try and will have to say, go somewhere else...
Great good and awesome atmosphere! Drinks are divine! Also have an outside bar that seems to stay packed.

I ordered a black and bleu salad with 5oz filet mignon medium rare, it came out well done... I can't believe they even served it. Although they made it right and replaced it after I complained to the waiter, the fact that it made it past the cook AND the waiter really speaks to the level of quality they're willing to plate. The others in our party had mixed reviews.

Food was lackluster and came with only half the ingredients advertised. Took forever for the food to come out. Restaurant was dirty and atmosphere was off. None of the staff wanted to be there. Would have been okay for a dive bar, but this place pretends to be something it's not.
