Take a long sip of fine Kentucky Bourbon and let the smokehouse aroma of slow cooked barbecue transport you south of the Mason Dixon. Oak & Embers proprietors spent years researching southern cuisine to offer you this experience. Their many trips to the Carolina’s, Georgia, Texas and Kentucky have brought to life an idea born from their love for great barbecue.The Oak & Embers menu offers homemade selections prepared from scratch. Great care goes into the preparation of each entrée. Brisket, pork, ribs, sausage and chicken are wood-smoked for hours to heighten flavor and texture—pink, tender meat is proof of the process. Lighter fare options include salads and flatbreads prepared with unique taste combinations to offer an escape from the mundane. Each entrée and side dish is cooked to order from recipes created from years of tasty research. Our unique sauces, rubs and dressings are original and thoughtfully combined to complement each featured entrée.

    Our dinner at Houlihans this past Friday was very good. We ordered the Chicken Lettuce wraps for an appetizer and they were delicious. I ordered the fish and chips for dinner and my husband had the chicken piccata. We were very pleased with our meals. Even though they were very busy, the service was excellent. We can always count on Houlihans for a good meal out
