Black Oak Café - Smash Burger extra bacon - Cafes Near Me - Tuolumne, California

We placed our name on a list and were told it would be a 30 minute wait. Once sat, we were brought out water and were given time to look over the menu. They have several items on their menu, such as sandwiches, burgers, salads, salmon, and steaks. They run specials on a given day. I seen on Saturday, a seafood boil bag for $56 I believe. It is good for two people. I seen several people order that and enjoy it. They also have a rib special on Fridays for $14 which is a great deal as well. My pricing could be a dollar or two off.... I ended up ordering a Diablo burger with a side salad. It had a sweet and a touch of spicy sauce in it with pepper jack in a soft bun. I really enjoyed it. I tried some of the fries and they were nice and crispy. Our server was very helpful and pleasant with our table. She would come around and refill our waters as needed. They automatically add gratuity to a table of eight and more of 20%. Overall, we had a good experience. read more

3 1/2 stars. Have eaten a lot here over the years. It serves its purpose, but isn't spectacular. I really miss the buffet offerings they used to have. Menu is solid, especially their breakfast offerings. Major negative is that they don't have peanut butter available for pancakes/waffles. We usually get great service and prices are reasonable. Using your free meal credits will usually cover the entire bill. read more

Black Oak Café - Steak - Cafes Near Me - Tuolumne, California

Black Oak Café Review PRICES WAY UP... WORST SERVICE EVER... We had been looking forward to coming to the Black Oak Café for my roommate's birthday, because it WAS one of our favorites. At least the ambience is still nice. IT TOOK A VERY LONG TIME TO ORDER: When the server finally came back to our table to take our order, I asked what vegetables does the Chicken Fried Chicken come with? He didn't know so he went to ask. I am not exaggerating when I say that first he went into the kitchen for a while, then he came back out of the kitchen and just stood there near the kitchen door. I was looking at him, trying to hint that we were waiting. Then he talked to one of the other servers. Then he went BACK into the kitchen to FINALLY ask what vegetables... Then he FINALLY came back to our table to tell us... Broccoli. When my roommate ordered, OUR SERVER FORGOT EVERYTHING HE SAID. He had to repeat it all twice. For example: He said he wanted Onions Rings instead of Fries, and when he was done ordering, the server said, "Now you said three things. What were they?" He repeated everything, then the server said, "Did you want Fries on the side?" He replied No, that he wanted Onions Rings INSTEAD of Fries. After we ordered, it took longer than usual to make our dinners (even though it was a quiet night in the café and there were at least three servers). While we were waiting and waiting, we wanted to ask our server for more napkins, but we did not see him again until he brought our food. So we asked one of the other servers, and SHE NEVER BROUGHT ANY NAPKINS. I really like to have extra napkins, and that is the first time no one ever brought any. After the food arrived, our server brought my Chicken Fried Chicken absolutely SMOTHERED WITH WHITE GRAVY WITH SAUSAGE. I do NOT eat beef or pork, so I could not eat any of it, and sent it back to be remade to go, because we were already going to be LATE getting home. Their menu does NOT say Sausage, and it does NOT say the Chicken is smothered with Gravy. Then my roommate was going to eat his sandwich, but we had to ask for mustard twice before Jesse could start eating his sandwich. We asked one of the other servers because again, we did not see our server again for a very long time, and it took a long time just for the mustard to get to our table. THE ONION RINGS WERE VERY GREASY and I ate all of them, because that's all there was for me to eat for dinner, so they gave me an upset stomach. Then my order was finally remade and THE MANAGER CAME OUT WITH OUR SERVER, AND SHE GAVE US ATTITUDE, like I did something wrong, because I was upset that there was sausage on my chicken. I ordered chicken, because I do not eat pork, and after all the other things that happened, I was not going to have time to eat a proper dinner in the restaurant at all!! On top of all that: When we got home, we found that THE MELTED BUTTER WAS IN A CONDIMENT CUP WITH NO LID, AND WAS EVERYWHERE IN THE BAG!! It could have gotten all over the trunk of our car. read more

Black Oak Café - Tuesday special smash burger with garlic fries for only $9.00 - Cafes Near Me - Tuolumne, California

This restaurant is located inside The Black Oak Casino. The place is very nice and clean. We didn't have to wait long to be seated at all and everyone is very friendly - made us feel very welcome! The service overall was outstanding as we kept getting checked back in on and our drinks never got below 1/4 full. They have a pretty expansive menu and everything tastes good. I just wish the cut of the steak for the steak sandwich was a higher quality meat as mine was very fatty and I kept having to chew it many times and even spit a few inedible pieces out which was a shame because the rest of the sandwich tasted great. I love that they offer sweet potato French fries and I got them with a side of ranch dressing - delicious! Overall the sandwich was delicious and the whole experience would have been 5 stars, instead of 4, if the quality and cut of the steak in the sandwich didn't have so much Gristle. Maybe I just got a bad one so I'd give it a try next time since the rest of the sandwich was very tasty! read more

The corned beef hash is great! A lot of chipped and shredded corned beef over a bed of hash browns with two eggs on top. First time I had it no gravy, second time was with a side of gravy. Both were good. The service was good and the facility is clean. read more

This place definitely does not have an appeal that makes you want to go back. The lighting was really bad. The café itself was so uninviting with an older lady who seemed extremely stressed for an area that looked pretty dead. We had the clam chowder and chicken wings, which were pretty good, but it was definitely a site for sore eyes. I like to take pictures of places I go and the food I eat, but this one was not appealing at all. read more

We came here after a 2/3 day at Leland Snow Play (strongly suggest for kids who are too scared to ski/snowboard. I'm honestly not sure if I was just SUPER hungry or what, but this place was a lot better than expected. Food: The kids ordered hamburgers, I ordered a Chicken Fried Steak, and the wife ordered Chicken Alfredo. All were good! Not GREAT but good. The pasta was rich and the chicken wasn't overdone. The Chicken Fried steak was well... Chicken fried steak, not sure what you'd want out of it. Service: We waited a while for our server. This is the sole reason we had a -1 star. Originally, I joked it's because we had 8 people and they had already earned their 20% tip. But nope, they were like that with everyone. They came by, introduced themselves, and walked away. I would give them -2 stars for service, but i mean, everything came out hot, just slowly. Cleanliness: The floor was sticky... like REALLY sticky. A little offputting how sticky it was. It was only under my chair which meant that it ended up being the last patron spilled their soda and it was never cleaned. Everything else was very clean though so there's that. Overall the price was okay given the area and the kicker was that we were there on a Sunday and they had a great deal of "buy an entree get a free dessert". We'd probably go back again if we're in the area. It was a good time, a very looong good time. read more

Delicious food and excellent service along with the gorgeous remodeled dining room!! (And now I'm in the platinum card category also!)

Went up and bowled at Black Oak and grabbed lunch at the cafe. Only issue was the smoke drifted in. Bummer. My wife and I split Chicken Curry Sandwich and it was dry. Flavor was good but it was just a little dry. My friend had the Black and Blue Burger and loved it. Looked great. His wife had the Fried Raviolis and they were very good. We all had some and enjoyed them. Our service was very good and the ambience is decent. You don't feel cramped or crowded. I would go back. read more

Great food before renovations & with renovation the place looks beautiful but the cooks don't cook the same. The steaks PrimeRib juice, tasty & evenly grilled to perfection with garlic butter sauce but now it's with a brown gravy which makes it gross. Old servers made my family and I feel welcome & always checked back now I have to track down the server because they don't check back as often as needed. Now we take our food to go to avoid having to wait with no service. We love to bring our guest/visitors because the services from casino & hotel are impressive... read more

My mom and I always stop by this restaurant when we come to Black Oak! The atmosphere is classy and the servers are pleasant. I usually get the Chicken Alfredo or the Tuscan Salmon. The pasta is very savory and creamy and the garlic bread is perfectly toasted, complimenting each other well. The bowl of Clam Chowder is also a pretty hearty portion and is best with some Tabasco (if you've never tried, prepare to be shook!). This last time I went, my mom got the Black Oak breakfast and aside from the fact that it was delicious, there was plenty to take home. Celena was our waitress and she was sweet and helpful. It does seem like this place is a little understaffed, making service consistently slow. Heads up to give this team a little bit of patience, as you take your break from gambling! read more

Way better than I expected! We're staying at the hotel to get up to the Leland snow play area which is about 45 minutes away. We decided to keep is easy and not drive to get dinner tonight, which brings us to the Black Oak Cafe. The hostess was super sweet as was the waitress. They have a $5 kids breakfast menu and $10 kids dinner menu which is perfect for our kiddo, and a a good variety on the menu for adults. Salads, soups, burgers, sandwiches, chicken, steak, and fish entrees, as well as pasta. Reasonably priced, averaging $20 an entree. We got the prime rib French dip (4/5), turkey burger (4/5), and kids cheeseburger meal (4/5). Would recommend to anyone staying here if you're looking for a fuss-free, reasonably-priced meal read more

Black Oak Café - Kids menu - Cafes Near Me - Tuolumne, California

Another Thanksgiving has arrived, and since our children have grown up and moved away I do not want to make such a huge feast for 2, so we join my inlaws and have Thanksgiving lunch/dinner here. The ambiance is a casino, so it's loud and sometimes smoky also, but like I said, it's a casino. The food is really good and the portions are very large. The turkey is equal, serving white and dark meat with mashed potatoes and gravy and green bean casserole, and you even get a large slice of pie. It's definitely delicious and worth the price of about $20. Now the service : no matter what grab a menu or you will be forgotten as qe waited 15 minutes just to have our drink order taken and we only ordered coffee and water. I come here for the gambling and food so it's all good. Be patient and enjoy yourself here as there are so many other things here besides food. read more

I dined at this restaurant twice during my stay at Black Oak Hotel & Casino (there's not many food options in the area). The restaurant is clean and well-decorated, the staff are kind, and the menu has a good amount of options. At first glance, there are no vegan options on the menu besides a few vegetable sides. However, after asking my server, she informed me that I could substitute the patty in any burger for a beyond meat patty - music to my ears. On both visits, I ordered a burger with a beyond meat patty. The food was okay, not bad but definitely not worth the price you pay. I wouldn't eat here unless there were no other options (which unfortunately happened to be the case). They should update the menu to inform guests that there are vegan options. read more

Food was as good or better than expected. I had the fish and chips (haddock). Serving of fish was large, firm and not oily. My daughter got the chili in a bread bowl and wife got clam chowder. read more

Their new Clayton team is horrible, very bitter. This Cafe use to have the best tea every. I wished they would change it back

Decided to eat here because Seven Sisters was closing by the time we arrived. Quickly seated even on a busy Friday night. The waitress was very nice. Got the fried raviolis for the appetizer was truly surprised on how creamy the cheese inside was they were very good even the dipping sauce it came was good. I ordered county fired steak w/ sides of mashed potatoes, also very good. My BF ordered the linguini pasta which was the special of the month. He enjoyed the seafood that was in it but he said the black color noodles kind of threw him of so he didn't really each too much of it. There's no bathroom inside the restaurant but as soon as you walk out onto the casino floor the restrooms are right across. read more

Sweet potatoes fries- you can't really get Oatmeal wrong it was fine it was served w.

First of all the location of this café in regards to the casino is perfect. You do not have to walk through the whole casino to get to the café. The entrance is near the parking lot, a short walk to the cafe. Dinner was delicious! The pan seared salmon salad was so tasty! They have a full bar so we could continue having our drinks while we took a break from gambling to eat. The tri tip sandwich had a perfectly prepared steak sliced in two on a crusty and soft roll. Lots of fries too with the steak sandwich. Our server forgot our drinks, she apologized but then I was given a warm beer so I asked for another one. I've never done that! The breakfast was super yummy! The mixed berry pancake was fluffy with just the right amount of berries served with LOTS of whipped butter on the side and yummy gooey maple syrup. The colossal breakfast sourdough bowl was a different breakfast super filling and the gravy had lots of pepper; our favorite! We did not get our coffee refilled unfortunately. It was not busy in the restaurant on a Saturday morning at 10am Great place and would eat here on our next visit. read more

Hubby & I tried to go to the down stairs snack bar on the family floor but it was closed and their other snack place is no longer there, so we reluctantly went up the the casino floor cafe I ordered thier "All American Cheese burger" When asked how I wanted it I said, "medium rare", I was severed a burnt meat patty, I had taken about 3 bites of the burger hoping it would get better When the waitress Nicholle asked how our meal was I told her my burger was well done & showed her, she looks & agrees but offered no solution & left our table as if in a hurry I abandon my burger, I flipped the top of the bun open to show just how burnt the patty was (black) & ate my salad Nicholle comes back and retrieves my plate & looks directly at my burger and says, I'm sorry, I would have offered you a new burger if u hadn't of ate so much Hubby & I never asked for a new burger and she never offered a refry or any solution the first time or the second time Poor cooking & poor service, poor tip, we will not be returningAnd if asked we will not be recommending the cafe read more

Good food and service. It feels a little like a hospital setting .. I get to go food from there a lot and never have issues

Since their remodel, it seems that everything has gotten better! Much more open and bright atmosphere. We have yet to have a bad meal, although my husband's meal came with some sort of roll that was less than desirable- but the main meals were delicious! Service is great, but when the servers disappear into the wall (kitchen area) then you have to wait for them to come back- not always someone around to ask for something otherwise. Other than that, everyone has always been pleasant, and very good service. read more
