We are your place for the freshest raw oysters from around the country, artfully crafted cocktails, and fine internationally-inspired food cultivated by 2019 James Beard ‘Best Chef: South’, Vishwesh Bhatt. Come let Team Snackbar show you a truly memorable experience. Our door is open to all.

The food and ambience at Snack Bar is the best in Oxford, MS. The service is always astounding. Chelsea is wonderful. The steak is always cooked perfectly. This is by far my favorite Oxford restaurant and where I would take out of town guests for a very nice meal.

Don’t be mislead by the outside appearance of this restaurant being in a strip mall. As soon as you enter the door, the true ambience of a fine dining experience awaits. Our server was polite and well versed in describing the menu options and go to dishes. My wife chose the halibut and I went with the Osso Buco beef. Both were displayed creatively and unique. The halibut was baked perfectly, and the Osso was steamy hot and pure comfort food. We highly recommend Snackbar for a date or celebration dinner.

Waiter was good. We drove from Memphis. We have avid hunters with us. Ducks and deer on the wall and the manager asked my 16 year old to remove his cap in the dining room. Yet there is a picture of a woman’s butt in the bathroom?!

Hands down one of the best meals that I have had in Oxford! 3 of us had different fish and all 3 dishes were delicious! Started with sweet potatoes poppers, salad and oysters and finished with dessert and french pressed coffee. Cannot wait to come back!
