I love the amb of the restaurant. However I had concern regarding my dish. I order the cajun pasta. Let say it took 20 min to receive my order. The dish was season to perfection. However the pasta was under cooked and had no sauce. The first owner mention it was al dente and never ask how she could make it right. The second owner can to ask how she could make it right. I asked if my dish could be remade and add more sauce. I received my same dish, they only add more sauce and slice of garlic bread. I'm really disappointed by this. read more

I must say that I'm beyond impressed. The hostess, waiter/bartender service was amazing. The ambiance is classy and definitely sexy vibes. Yes I said sexy (classic and definitely mature). My cousin and I were having lunch. The music was great from the classic 80s, 90s and 2000s Slow R&B Songs. I had the lobster bites which I enjoyed. Seasoned to perfection. My cousin had the Cajun Shrimp Pasta. Looking at her entree, I plan on coming back to have order that one. Of course, I've brought back take out for my boyfriend and he enjoyed his Smash Burger. The food was fresh, ambiance was everything. A perfect place for a Sunday afternoon. I shall return. Thanks Cork and Oak. read more

I have ALL the feels for this review for this black owned restaurant. There was ALOT going on during our visit on 7/16/26. We arrived on time for our 7 p.m. group reservation. We waited a little bit to be seated. When seated, you just have to look around. It's such a beautiful & cozy atmosphere inside. The place is not that big but I understand on the other side is a speakeasy. They have standard seating and booth seating which includes a big booth in the back for a large group. There is also a bar. The place was completely full! I loved the wall decor especially the magical wall painting with the black woman on it (see pic). Ronald was our server and as many reviewers have stated, he was a good server, providing service but good banter also. We ordered our drinks & noticed they were delayed. We asked Ronald about it and he explained they were "backed up". Lemondrop was good, unfortunately out of cherries that were requested. My friends got the Sangria and the Roy St. Lemonade and they enjoyed their drinks. We ordered our food and it was also delayed, we didn't get our food until 8:45 p.m. which is way too long. Food was great, hot and flavorful. We got the crab stuffed salmon, Slow-Braised Short Rib (super tender) and the cajun seafood pasta (I had them add a lobster tail to it which they cut up and put in the pasta). Delicious. There was a beautiful young lady that came to check on us a couple of times which was nice. There was a live saxophonist playing when we first arrived and he was good. I clapped for him when nobody else did and then his wife saxophonist came in later on and stole the show! She was engaging, went around with her sax playing, sitting in the booths with people, it was a whole VIBE, do you hear me? There was also a trumpeter playing with them too. I was happy to tip them - both saxophonists talked to me individually as we were sitting right in front where they were performing. They thanked me for the energy which means a lot to performers, it lets them know you are enjoying their performance which they work hard for. They are there on Wednesdays & Thursdays. What is weird is that they have dessert but you have to ask about it, there is no menu that shows the options. The only way I knew they served desserts is that I saw pics of them on Yelp and Google. The cake I wanted (butter cake) they didn't have, only a selection of cheesecakes. I really liked this place. I think it's only been open for about 6 months. The colorful, lifelike mural on the outside of the place is breathtaking. I had no problem finding parking right in front of the place. They definitely need to work on time management, it shouldn't take that long for drinks/food. We noticed when we were waiting on our food that many others didn't have their food either. Other reviews mention this too so I hope in more time of them being open that they fix this. They had ceiling fans on but we got a little warm at times but grant it, it was full capacity in there. The great musical entertainment helped with the wait. Our bill total for three people with 18% gratuity and a percentage for a service charge was $256. I want to return & hope there is an improvement in waiting times for orders placed. Thank you Cork & Oak, despite the long wait I really enjoyed myself and had plenty to take home. read more

This place is nice! It could easily be a date night or a group night. Music was good and not too loud until the dj/sax player came in around 7pm. He sounded amazing! Food was fresh and hot. It didn't take too long for it to come out. Drinks were so gooodddddd!!!!! I just wanted to keep order them. Our waiter was the bomb. I think his name was Ron, Ronald or something (sorry). This is a black owned business. I loved it! We will come back and try the lounge side soon. read more

Cork & Oak is an up and coming star in the south burbs. I'm still thinking about that Butter Cake! The gumbo with snow crab legs, delicious. I also loved my guava flavored drink. Service could've been better. Our server was kind and mostly attentive but it seemed they had her spread thin over the whole dining room. Other than it was a good experience and the furniture, decor is absolutely beautiful. I went for lunch and would still love to check out their brunch. read more

Me and Latrice A came on a Sunday afternoon to have brunch. The outside was adorable as I parked my car. There is a lovely painted mural of flowers on the side of the building that was magical. The establishment is a little on the small side, but the overall décor is lovely. For brunch, I started with the Truffle Butter Lobster Bites (lobster tossed in truffle butter with chili peppers and ginger sauce) and got the Chimichurri Steak and Frites (grilled steak topped with chimichurri). The menu stated that the steak came with frites, but I got what looked like smashed potatoes instead and that was fine by me. The portion size of the dish did not disappoint and I ended up taking it home to have later as my dinner. The Truffle Butter Lobster Bites were amazing! I can't say I tasted the truffle flavor, but I felt like the chili peppers and ginger sauce overrode it. Truffle is such a subtle flavor, but that said I still enjoyed this dish a lot. Actually had me mad for not ordering some to go as I had a dream about it and woke up mad that I didn't have it. Latrice A and I split the Challan French Toast. This came with a sweet + savory blueberry sausage. The french toast was very good, the sausage didn't work for me. I thought it was on the dry side. While we were eating, the table across from us ordered the french toast. We immediately noticed that their serving was very different from our order as it was cut from much thicker slices of challan bread. We mentioned that to our server and then I believe the manager came over to discuss. As we had already eaten into ours, I showed her the photos so she could see the difference. She explained that she thought the kitchen may have used the slices from the end of the loaf and that could have been the difference. That said, she took it the bill and gave us a 20% credit on the bill. For me this location is a bit of a haul as it is about 30 miles from where I live in the city. But I would maybe do a bit of planning and come during a time when the traffic isn't so bad so I can get those lobster bites and not wake up mad the next day after dreaming about them...HAHAHAHAHAHA! read more

Black-owned, DELICIOUS food, beautiful presentation, and a whole vibe! From the moment you pull up, you can tell this place was built with care and intention. The mural outside is absolutely beautiful and lets you know you're about to experience something special before you even walk through the door. We went on a Wednesday and were pleasantly surprised by live music, which made the night even better. After dinner, we hung out in the speakeasy for a while. Such a chill atmosphere and the perfect place to unwind. I used to live nearby, and if I still did, I'd probably be here every week... and let's be honest, at least half of those visits would be just for that BUTTER CAKE. The food, the ambiance, the music, the presentation... all of it just comes together. This is definitely one of those places you'll keep coming back to. 10/10 for me! read more

Hey, I finally got a chance to visit. I went during Happy Hour, 3pm-5pm Wed-Fri. I ordered the fried lobster bites (not on hh), french fries, and bbq shrimp. The service was great. I had Stephanie as the bartender, she was awesome. The vibe is grown and sexy. I can't wait to go back for dinner....and HH again. Go check them out. Oh yeah, they have two sides and a live band on some days. The drinks were on point too! read more

Had a party of four and went on a Friday evening. We had an attentive server. And overall, the food was good and I would come back.

Our monthly Birthday Sisterhood Brunch was nothing short of AMAZING! Today, 11 beautiful women came together to celebrate birthdays, friendship, sisterhood, and simply the blessing of having one another. There is something so powerful about women gathering together, sharing a table, laughing, talking, encouraging one another, and creating memories that will last far beyond the meal. I chose this establishment for our brunch, and I must say, the overall experience was wonderful! The atmosphere was beautiful, the food was enjoyable, and most importantly, we were able to sit back, relax, and enjoy each other. A couple of our ladies experienced some issues with their meals, but what stood out to me was how quickly and professionally the waitress and owner came to the table, listened, and made sure the concerns were addressed in a timely manner. That kind of attentiveness and willingness to make things right matters. And guess what? We kept celebrating! Because sisterhood is about more than everything going perfectly. It's about grace, communication, understanding, laughter, and choosing to enjoy the moment and the people sitting beside you. The brunch was amazing, the sisterhood was even better, and we would absolutely go back! I will continue to support, recommend, and celebrate this establishment. Thank you for helping us create another beautiful memory together. Here's to 11 women, countless memories, genuine sisterhood, and many more birthdays around the table! Sisterhood isn't just about showing up for the celebrations, it's about showing up for each other. read more

Just recently visited for my husband's birthday. The food was good but what shocked me was the bill at the end. For a party of 2 with just a main dish, side of bread and 3 drinks, our tab was close to $400. I do order top shelf tequila when I get margaritas but I've never had a top shelf drink that cost 75 dollars per glass. When we noticed the oversight we were told that I was charged double but final tab was $50 per drink. I think along with ala cart menu prices they need to do the same with drink prices Im still in shock of the price because it was a small glass and ice filled. Cute presentation but again $50 to $75 for a margaritas is absolutely insane. I had to honor the bill because that's what I ordered but this alone will be the reason why I would not return. read more

Cork Oak - $50 dollar drink - Wine Bars Near Me - Lansing, Illinois

We went Sunday for Brunch and it was interesting to say the least. The wait was 40 minutes if we didn't want to wait we could sit at the bar. We went in and immediately it hits you...the almost warmth. There is no air. The chairs for those dining are very low to the ground and hard to adjust. We went over to the bar it has about five seats so we took the too at the end. It took a while to be tended to because the bartender was very busy. After our orders were taken we waited a while and they brought my friends out a good five minutes before mine. We enjoyed the food. It was delicious! But maybe due to the haste and hustle of the brunch rush I don't think I'll be back. Although, my mate really wants to try here for dinner and I'm bending towards a yes for support. read more

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was disappointing from start to finish yesterday, 7/2/26. I ordered the Shrimp & Lobster Fried Rice after seeing the dish advertised on TikTok. The presentation in person looked nothing like what was advertised. I later learned that the impressive presentation shown online is apparently only available on Sundays with the Crab Fried Rice, with Crab sitting on top of rice. Unfortunately, no one informed us of that before we ordered, even though it was obvious we expected the dish we had seen advertised. It felt misleading. Not to mention 2 other customers ordered and thought the same thing. The lemon pepper wings were just ok but also tasted reheated. When the food arrived, it wasn't hot and tasted like it had been reheated rather than freshly prepared. The rice was overcooked, sticky, and clumped together, making the dish unappetizing. For a meal that cost approximately $45, I expected much better quality. Within about two minutes of receiving my food, I let our waiter, Ronald (if I remember his name correctly), know that something wasn't right. His initial response was, "I wish you had told me as soon as I brought it out to you," even though I had only had the plate for about two minutes and had to wait for him to walk back by our table. He eventually spoke with the kitchen and asked if I wanted the dish remade, and he apologized. Still, there was no apology from management, no manager came to speak with us, and no effort was made to offer a discount, refund, or any other gesture of customer service. To make matters worse, the woman I believed to be the manager--an African American, dark-skinned with blonde hair--stood near our table and looked over at us several times but never approached us to ask about our concerns or to attempt to resolve the situation. I can't confirm whether she was the manager, but that was my impression. The entire experience felt like poor customer service from beginning to end. Between the misleading advertising, the poor food quality, and the lack of concern for customer satisfaction, I left extremely disappointed. The only good thing was the drink; high five to the bartender. I will not be returning, and I would caution others not to assume the Shrimp & Lobster Fried Rice will look like the viral TikTok videos. If the featured presentation is only available on Sundays with a different dish, customers should be informed before ordering to avoid confusion and disappointment. read more

Hidden gem in the South Chicago suburbs! The building has a custom hand painted mural on the outside and the decor continues on the inside. The staff was very attentive, the owner was so nice and stopped by to introduce herself and check on us. The real star was the food! Everything was beautifully plated and tastes just as good as it looked and generous portions. I had the lycee lux margarita, it was so good I had 2! Cant wait to go back! read more

Reservation for 11:45. Arrived 11:35. Nobody so much as glanced my way until the clock struck 11:45, not a "hi," not a "be right with you," nothing. When someone finally showed up, water took another 15 minutes. Almost an hour later, I'm still staring at an empty table. No food. And let's talk math: this place caps seating at 90 minutes. If it takes an hour just to get food out, that leaves maybe 30 minutes to actually eat before you're rushed out the door you reserved a table at. You can't run an hour-long kitchen on a 90-minute clock. Meanwhile, the white couple a few tables over has had a rotating cast of servers stopping by all hour. Coincidence? Maybe. But I know what I saw, and I know how it felt. Pricing's fair (kind of). None of that matters when the basic act of being seen and served apparently depends on who's sitting across from your host stand. You never know who's in your dining room: a food critic, a regular who brings in six-top reservations every month, someone who'll tell every person they know about how they were treated. Cork and Oak might want to figure that out before it costs them more than a bad review. read more

From the moment I walked through the door, I felt welcomed. The hostess greeted me warmly, and my server a young lady whose name I unfortunately can't remember was attentive, kind, and made the experience even better. I started with the kale salad, which was fresh and flavorful, followed by the chicken sliders, which were delicious. My entrée was the Cajun pasta, and it absolutely did not disappoint. To top it off, I ordered the Wild Berry Sidecar. It was beautiful, refreshing, and one of those cocktails that makes you want to order another. But I did not!!! After reading some of the negative reviews, I couldn't help but think about how quick we are to judge new businesses. From what I understand, Cork + Oak has only been open for a few months. Every new business has growing pains. Imagine if every one of us had our learning moments permanently displayed for the world to criticize. We should absolutely hold businesses accountable, but we should also leave room for growth instead of rushing to tell people not to support them. I don't believe the color of the owner's skin is what should define a business. What matters is their commitment to providing a great experience, listening to feedback, and continuing to improve. During my visit, I saw that effort. Was everything absolutely perfect? No. But perfection isn't what stood out to me--it's the genuine effort, the hospitality, the quality of the food, and the desire to create a great experience. That deserves recognition. I'll definitely be back, and I'm looking forward to seeing this restaurant continue to grow. P.S. next time I'll take pics.. lol read more

I attended for a birthday dinner, party of 4. We sat in the speakeasy, we ordered the seafood pasta, 45 minutes the pasta never came, we had to go back to the bar because the server never checked on us. She came back to say they are sold out the pasta after us waiting 45 minutes. We asked to speak to the manager, took the manager 30 minutes to come to the table. My cup was also dirty and had lipstick stains. They were not busy so this is unacceptable. Will not return. read more

Visited Cork & Oats in Lansing on Mother's Day and really wanted to love the experience because the atmosphere and vibe are definitely there. It's a nice neighborhood spot located right in the heart of Lansing, easy to get to, and parking was available which made things convenient. We arrived around 4:30 PM before the main dining area opened at 5 PM, so we were able to sit on the speakeasy side at the bar while we waited. The ambiance was really nice and gave a grown, relaxed vibe. Once the dining side opened, service was a little slow -- which I tried to understand since dinner service was just getting started. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill after the food arrived. I ordered the salmon and potatoes along with a salad, and both dishes had hair in them. Seeing a long strand of hair in my food completely ruined my appetite. I politely showed the waitress, and they took the food back. What was even more disappointing was that when the food came back out, it honestly seemed like the same plate reheated because it was no longer hot. At that point, I couldn't even enjoy the meal anymore. To their credit, they did compensate us for the meals, and I appreciate them trying to make it right. But experiences like that stick with you. I truly want to support Black-owned establishments and see them win, especially when they create spaces with such a great atmosphere and potential. I just hope more attention is paid to food preparation and quality control moving forward because the vibe alone can't make up for an experience like that. read more

Thursday 7/9, my friend and I visited this location at 8:15 p.m. The atmosphere was nice, the restaurant was clean, and I was greeted at the entrance instantly. The band was nice and engaging. However, the server was also the bartender and was pretty slow, or busy I should say, because she was trying to make drinks and run food for several tables while you all were busy. Our food came about 25 minutes after ordering, even though we ordered drinks first. The drinks tasted flavorless, with just ice and alcohol, which was horrible for wine girls. My friend had a French 75, and I had some special drink. Our mild wings were just regular BBQ wings, nothing special. The oysters and Caesar salad were pretty good. The server never refilled my water, not one time, and when we said the drinks were way too strong, her response was, "Oh, we put two shots of alcohol in all our drinks." We just got Chardonnay She appeared rushed and not really experienced. We boxed the remaining food and left it. To top it off, you all are charging an automatic 12% gratuity but not providing uncompromised hospitality, which is crazy. Unfortunately, I will not be back. read more

Food was good, but the service made me not want to eat. As we were seated the waiter stated we had a 90 minute cap. Reservation was 11:45 we arrive at 11:35 and was was greeted by the waiter 11:55. Food was ordered and we finally received food 12:50 no one came by in between to check on us. This is a black owned business and the only white couple received top service and was checked on every 5 minutes while we waited and was treated as if we were not worthy of great service. To add once food did come it was only half the order. Tip was automatic added so maybe that's why the service was less than good. read more

This was a place that was recommended and never again will I ever go back too! First let's start with the attitude of their staff! From the moment you walk inside the energy felt tense! This was a rarely not so busy Saturday night. There is only one unisex (1 stall) bathroom which is not hardly appropriate for the size of this restaurant! It feels like the layout was not well planned out and lots of work needs to be done to improve the sluggish,The food left a lot to be desired.

Visited this recently opened, black owned restaurant in Lansing, IL for an early Sunday dinner. Positives: Very intimate, nice decor, friendly staff and food was tasty. Negatives: most items are al la carte and not a great value for the price paid. I ordered the salmon, which was tasty but for $28 it would be nice to include a few pieces of veggies on the side. I ordered the lollipop lamb chops as an appetizer for the table, however they brought the salmon dinner entree out before my appetizer item arrived so had to send the salmon back so it wouldn't get cold. Also, my brother's entree did not even come out at the same time as mine and he had to wait additional time for his seafood plate that had a few seafood items with a bunch of French fries for $50! There is only one unisex ( 1 stall) bathroom which is not hardly appropriate for the size of this restaurant! It feels like the layout was not well planned out and lots of work needs to be done to improve the sluggish, disorganized service I experienced. read more

The restaurant itself has a very cozy, nice atmosphere and great ambiance, and the food was good--except for the french fries. Unfortunately, the customer service was horrible from start to finish.As first-time guests, we were very disappointed by the lack of communication. The moment we sat down, they immediately let us know that there was a 90-minute time limit on the table, yet they failed to mention that bread is not complimentary. There should really be a note on the menu letting people know they have to pay to order it.After ordering, it took a good 20 minutes just to get our food. To make matters worse, we had to track someone down just to ask for a knife and fork so we could actually eat. Throughout all of this, we were seated right next to a loud machine that made it nearly impossible to hear the music or fully enjoy the nice vibe.To add to that, I ordered a lemon drop, and the bill was completely confusing. The drink was listed at $17, with a separate $3 charge right underneath it. It was entirely unclear if the drink was $14 plus $3, or if it was $17 plus an extra $3 for a total of $20. This surprise upcharge was never explained, and hidden or confusing fees like this should be clearly and politely printed on the menu so guests know exactly what they are paying for.The service at the end of the meal was just as inattentive. Our server brought over the to-go container but walked off without providing a bag, forcing me to flag him down a second time just to request one. It was clear the server was also the bartender, and he appeared sweaty. I see why it took him a while to interact with us, as I've never been to an establishment where the bartender has to handle the tables as well.While the overall atmosphere was good, having the staff rush you with a time limit, hiding extra fees, forgetting basic utensils, and making you repeatedly track them down for simple requests completely ruined the evening. The service definitely needs drastic improvement. read more

My friend and I went to visit this restaurant last Thursday. Our reservation was for 6:00 pm. I got there at 6:00 and was seated almost immediately. We ordered our drinks shortly after and it was received drinks at 6:30. When we got our drinks at 6:30-ish is when we ordered our food, to which we received at 7:00. Shortly after our food arrived my friend ordered another drink and it came around 20 minutes later (I have the pictures to prove this). In the midst of us eating we noticed the waitress came over several times trying to collect our food that we were not finished with, this should have been apparent. Soon after my friend received her drink around 7:20, give or take, the manager (I believe) came over and asked us to leave and that there's an hour and 30 minute table limit. Keep in mind, this was not mentioned to us nor is it anywhere on the site. My issue was: 1. Our drinks and food took awhile to come out. Reservations at 6, food at 7, were we expected to be finished eating in 30 minutes? 2. We were still eating, buying food. Even the most upscale restaurants wouldn't have done this. 3. They moved us to another part of the restaurant, a lounge area, even still-- interrupting our dinner abruptly was uncalled for. If we would have known about a time limit we would have considered the lounge area, which is like a bar (not the vibes we were going for). Or another restaurant all together. The food was great but I did not enjoy the service. We spent a decent amount and I nor my friend appreciated this. read more
