Staff members were friendly, and it seemed to be a hangout spot for many generations of people. Only had tea since I rolled in after 12 PM and I'm that person who can't sleep if I have caffeine past then (sucks, I know), so I can't comment on the coffee. But the tea was loose leaf, and they let me know the steep time. They even topped me off for a second dose when I finished the first. Wifi was spotty, and I learned quickly why most people using it were in the back room. I attempted to set up in the front room, but it kept kicking me off. Moved to the back room, and no issues. Depending on your needs, just know it can get busy and loud in the afternoon between 2-3ish. Or at least that was my experience. Fortunately, I was listening mostly in my meeting, but it can get noisy in there.

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!

The staff are freindly too. Well worth repeat visits.

While we didn't order coffee (it was early evening), the prices on the menu were very reasonable. Admission was $10 per person, regardless of age. If you have never been to a cat cafe, the whole point is to socialize with adoptable cats. From what I remember, cat adoption cost here was $125. When we got into the kitty room, there were only three cats out and exploring. Two wanted nothing to do with us and the other was cute and cuddly with another family there. After about 45 minutes, we asked one of the owners how many cats were there and she went to a back room where their litter boxes are housed and she coaxed out a few more cats. They mentioned that there were several kittens being brought in the next day as well. The space was so cute with fun murals, ample seating, and most importantly, lots of comfy spots for the cats to lounge and hidden nooks to explore. There were board games and video games for their human visitors as well as some suckers. Since they are getting rid of the slushy machines, they even offered us free slushies. While there were pics of the cats on the cat condo wall, it was still a tad challenging to tell what each cat's name was. It would be awesome to have names easily visible on their collars and a few more cat toys to play with them. Hope this spot is successful and lots of loving and sassy cats find good homes. :-)

This place is amazing! I have always wanted a cat cafe in Oak Ridge and finally I got one! Some…read morethings to note, I went on opening day, so it definitely was a lot more packed than it probably would be. I didn't get the owners name, but she had this bright personality and was very welcoming on opening day. She provided a fun give away and free snacks/beverages for the grand opening. The staff seemed very happy. They had a big smile and they were very polite. Unfortunately, I didn't get to experience the cafe on a day with less people. It was super packed due to it being opening day. I assume in the future it will become less packed so the animals aren't as stressed and there is more room. However, the only thing I would say would be nice, if in the future it is packed, maybe have a room limit that way people can enjoy the time with the cats and the cats don't get stressed out. But the main cat area is really cute. I love the design in the room. The cat hotel / loft is really cute. It allows the cat to retreat to a nice safe place if they want to be left alone. There are lots of seats for you to sit in including a nice comfy couch where you can sit down and enjoy some gaming. While I was there I didn't have a chance to really get a drink. I really wanted to enjoy playing with the cats so I didn't get one. However, a lot of people seem to enjoyed it. The drinks appeared to come out to the customers pretty quickly. They have a decent selection of drinks and snacks. I posted a photo of the menu :)! The entire place was very clean. The restroom was spotless, which is always really nice. The bar where they prepare the drinks seemed very clean and organized. Overall this place is definitely a spot you need to stop at if you are looking to adopt a cat or just enjoy a nice drink and snacks with cats in the area. This is a new business and remember to support them because they are doing a good thing and finding these lovable cats a home :)

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.

Overall, I would recommend the tea but be cautious when ordering the food!

This is one of two McDonald's in town…read more I'll break it down into a couple sections for simplicity. Food: It's McDonalds. Their reputation proceeds them, and it's not five star, but it is worth the inexpensive price. The menu is fairly diverse, but they do only sell the breakfast menu during breakfast. If you're looking for a delicious Bacon Egg and Cheese McGriddle on your lunch break, you're going to be disappointed. Service: Adequate. For the most part servers are polite, and take your order precisely and quickly whether you're dining in or going through the drive through. Few are particularly friendly. Some employees are, however I've never met the kind that just makes your day better. Many have said that order mistakes are more frequent here than some other locations, however. Other: The interior decoration is a little better than the other location in town. This McDonald's features an outdoor playground for children. I question it's hygiene and safety. Overall, a McDonald's is a McDonald's, and this location, while not exactly a beacon of light exemplifying the ultimate in Fast Food, does indeed prove worthy of its position in the globally successful chain.

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.
