The server was a gem, friendly and efficient the owner should be happy to have such a good worker. The place is cute with a few seats and some fun stuff to look at. Certain a happy place to get your breakfast in the morning.

The coffee also deserves a mention. Its smooth and delicate and has no bitterness at all. This is also the best you can buy in Oak Ridge. Seating inside is comfortable and the noise levels are generally lower which is something I appreciate in the early morning. There is plenty of close parking. Its easy to access. The staff are freindly too. Well worth repeat visits.

Everything was super. I started with a yummy cocktail--Lazy Daze. It was lemony with mulled mint…read moreand rosemary, very tasty. We had bread w/olive oil while we perused the menu. The focaccia is heavenly! Our selections were the pork chop with peachy grits(!) and the house made seasonal pasta, which had lots of amazing mushrooms. I added bbq tofu for protein. No regrets. Everything was marvelous. I needed a container for about 1/3 of the pasta. We thought we were too full to continue but Skyler pointed out the dessert is free on your birthday, so...we forced ourselves to try it. We had the Pôt de Crème. And it, too, was marvelous. Our server, Skyler was there when we needed her, very attentive but not overbearing. All in all, a completely delightful experience.

Pasta with no meat was $27, covered in olives. I struggled to leave a negative review because the…read morewaitress was great. Everything else was terrible, except the potato fritters but the price point over-road the flavor. Warm water, if you want bread that will be another $8. The owner did take off the pasta but the pasta needs to come with a warning if you hate olives avoid with your life!! I ask for the olives to be removed and not placed but they pre make the pasta so that is not an option. My husband's dish was equally disappointing, we left starving and spent twice as much as we would have at Season's in Knoxville. Later that night we both had horrible stomach issues. Again the waitress was fantastic but on a Friday evening and there was only 5 other tables should have been the warning sign.

I am a big proponent of supporting the local businesses in my community. I was not aware, though, I have a great restaurant right down the street in Jackson Square! I don't know how this place escaped me this long! We went on Friday evening and there was a short wait to be seated. The staff were friendly and the food smelled AMAZING! We were quickly seated in comfortable dining room. There was a live pianist playing in the corner. A lovely touch. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the offerings on the menu. I had the pot roast with augratin potatoes and my beloved had the pork tenderloin with grilled squash and pinto beans. Both entrees were delicious. I must say, I am a big fan of a delicious pork chop or tenderloin chop so I now have a new favorite. I am planning on working my way through the entire menu over the next few weeks, because I have a feeling everything they make is wonderful. I will let you know. I highly recommend Dean's and I would drive a good distance to come eat here...fortunately for me, they are right down the street. See you next week!

I'm thrilled that FW has made its way to Oak Ridge--finally, a true sit‑down breakfast spot in…read moretown! Walking in, you'll immediately notice the open, airy layout. There are tables, booths, bar/counter seats, plus outdoor seating, and windows galore that flood the room with natural light. It's bright, cheerful, and instantly welcoming. Every visit I've made, the place has been spotless--dining room, restrooms, everything. Plus the WiFi is solid, making this a great weekday spot to work from when I want to linger; they've always seemed fine with me setting up at the bar counter in the corner and staying until closing. Service has always been great. Contrary to some negative reviews I've seen, I've not had a bad experience here. Every server has been courteous, attentive, and hustling--nothing sloppy, no waiting around. As for the food--nothing but hits so far. Every dish I've ordered has been delicious, the temperature spot‑on, and the presentation pleasing. Some of my favorite go‑tos: Morning Meditation Fresh Juice -- crisp and refreshing Market Hash -- two cage‑free eggs any style, atop fresh seasoned potatoes, with house‑roasted Crimini mushrooms, zucchini, shallots, red peppers, baby spinach, melted Mozzarella, and herbed Goat cheese; served with whole grain artisan toast Bacado Omelet -- bacon, avocado, Monterey Jack, topped with sour cream, served with house‑made Pico de Gallo, lemon‑dressed organic mixed greens, and artisan toast They even rotate seasonal menu items, so there's always something new to try. Portions are generous--you're getting your money's worth and likely won't be hungry again until dinner. Bottom line: I'm a big fan. FW has raised the bar for breakfast in Oak Ridge, and I'm so glad they're here. Highly recommended.

The food is a LOT better quality than the local chain accross the street and was served quickly. The coffee is also very good. The food selection on the buffet was as good as anywhere. The waitstaff is super freindly and helpful also. This is clearly an overlooked restaurant for the Oak Ridge locals, since it's inside the hotel. Prices are reasonable for the quality of the food that is availible. There is a ton of close parking and its easy to access. We plan on going back for dinner one night just to change things up. Yes you can chase a dollar and eat cheaper locally, no doubt, but to have a nice clean, not crowded place with high quality food sets this place apart. It's been a long time since I sat in the relative quiet to enjoy my food.

Clearly I was late to the party and the early birds knew what was up. Respect. Did we panic? Absolutely not. We pivoted like seasoned donut professionals and started with two dozen glazed holes. That's right. TWO. DOZEN. Most didn't make it home. "We'll just have one" turned into "wait, how many are left?" Then came the full dozen assortment: *Custard filled - dangerously good *Cream filled - no regrets *Chocolate cake - classic, solid, dependable *Glazed - because you can't not And then... the Strawberry Glazed Let me tell you about that Strawberry Glazed. BAM. Sooooo good. Like, pause-the-conversation good. Like, "why did we only get one?" good. They also have breakfast sandwiches if you're pretending to be responsible. Plenty of seating inside, so you can sit there and question your life choices while eating donut number four. The service was friendly, quick, and didn't judge our order size (at least not out loud). If you live nearby, what are you waiting for? If you don't live nearby, it's worth the drive. Just apparently get there before 9:13 if you want Chocolate Holes. Learn from my mistakes.
