How we score

The editorial take

Oakley's Texas Bar and Grill lists nine non-alcoholic drinks in its Lunch Drinks section, covering Big Red, Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Dr. Pepper, Lemonade, Root Beer, Sprite, Sweet Tea, and Unsweet Tea. The lineup is straightforward: familiar sodas plus lemonade and sweet or unsweet tea. Big Red, Lemonade, and Sweet Tea are the named selections. For a restaurant beverage program, this is a functional, no-nonsense set of lunch drinks rather than a crafted non-alcoholic program. It does not reach into house-made sodas, shrubs, or other non-alcoholic specialties. What it does, it does with clear, recognizable options.

What should I order?: Start with Big Red if you want the Texas soda, or choose Lemonade for a non-caffeinated option. Sweet Tea is the named iced tea selection, with Unsweet Tea also listed for those who skip sugar.
Who will enjoy this place?: Anyone looking for a familiar soda, lemonade, or sweet tea alongside a meal, especially at lunch, will find the listed options easy to navigate. It suits guests who want a straightforward non-alcoholic drink rather than a crafted zero-proof cocktail.
When should I go?: The non-alcoholic list is specifically a Lunch Drinks section, so it is most directly relevant to a midday meal.
What should I expect to spend?: Prices are not listed for the non-alcoholic drinks, so no specific spend can be stated. The options are standard sodas, lemonade, and tea, which are typically modest in cost.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?: The list includes Big Red, a soda with strong Texas associations, alongside both Sweet Tea and Unsweet Tea. Those three give the non-alcoholic section a bit of regional and preference-specific character beyond a generic soda fountain lineup.
