The Oaken Barrel is located in Greenwood, Indiana at 50 Airport Parkway L. Their tag line is “We brew it. We drink it. We sell what’s left.” Just a mile or so west of I 65 at Exit 99.
For a warm-up we had the homemade potato chips and bacon dip. Cream cheese, melted cheddar on top with bits of bacon. I would get it again.
I met Lawyer and Kiley there for lunch and I had the Wisconsin Burger. Cheddar, bacon, BBQ sauce and mushroom burger on grilled sourdough bread. The perfectly toasted sourdough makes the sandwich for me. The crispy, cheesy edges don’t even need any burger for me to enjoy them. It has been outstanding every time! The seasoned waffle fries are plentiful and tasty.
Kiley had the breaded tenderloin dressed and with Swiss cheese while Lawyer had the Chubby Burger which was a bacon cheeseburger.
My “Go To” draft is the Razz Wheat. However, in the fall, they have an Apple Buzz beer that is incredible. I was there on a Saturday in November one year and the line was 25 people deep just to buy a case.
