An excellent tap house/restaurant. Marcus was our bartender and made an excellent bloody Mary. Good choice of craft beer on draft. The crab dip with fried bow tie pasta was flat out delicious and hit the spot for a snack.

Don't listen to that one review from 'emma guin'. This place is great. Boudin egg rolls were not traditional boudin, but very very good. Food cooked to order, the wife ordered the red fish BYO tacos and loved it. Drinks were phenomenal. Looks like "emma" ordered a burger medium rare and got what she ordered and called it 'raw'. All I know is this place is a solid 4.7 out of 5. Would 100% come back.

Date night this past weekend was at Keg and Barrel Ocean Springs. We've previously eaten at the one in Hattiesburg, and loved it. So, we decided to try this one, and we were incredibly impressed. From the service to the drinks to the food, 10/10 all around. Alandes (I hope I'm spelling that right) was our server, and he was top notch! We started with drinks. I had the Not A&W's Cream Soda, and my husband had the Sippin Juice. Both incredible. We shared a few starters. Wings (half lemon pepper, half Hattiesburg Hot), Firecracker Shrimp, and the Oyster Trio. We were accidentally brought the crab dip, so I snatched a pic of that, too. Lol. The wings were great. Great flavor, crispy, cooked perfectly. The firecracker shrimp was great as well, with fried jalapenos mixed in. Perfect amount of heat. The oysters though...y'all. Probably some of the best I've had in my life. The trio comes with Chargrilled, Mississippi Rockefeller, and Elote. Now, before you knock elote oysters, just try. They were phenomenal. The Mississippi Rockefeller has cream cheese, greens and pork. Like, . We will definitely be back, if not just for the oysters. We live in Wiggins, and I would definitely make the drive just for the oysters.

We've ordered sandwiches from here a couple of times, and they have all been delicious. The Chalmation is a beautiful creation. The Rueden, French dip, Fried Oyster BLT,and Creole Club are all great. We finally did the dine in thing. Food was still great, but service was slow. Restaurant was nearly empty and it took over 45mins for two sandwiches.

Stopped for lunch on a Sunday. Very relaxed atmosphere, although the music was a bit loud. Food was amazing. I had the chicken and waffles and my boyfriend had the chicken Parm. Both were amazing. Service was great, as well. Our server was continuously checking to make sure all was well.
