Friday morning at 8:10 and the drive thru was around the building, so I went in. Waited to order…read more Waited for food. The food was worth it. Most folks were taking it out, so despite being tiny, there was seating available. 6 tables for 4 total, but 3 available. Very country, small town. Friendly, if harried staff. Friendly folks waiting. Rustic. Tenderloin biscuit w/ egg. Steak biscuit w/ egg and cheese. Breakfast #1: bacon, eggs, grits, biscuit. My wife and I agree: the tenderloin and egg biscuit was the best of the 3, although all were good. Only complaint? The near 30 minutes waiting. Too long, but with the size of the place and the quality, I don't see the wait going away. No one was slacking off, just plenty o' business. Just know.

It had bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, cheese, and crispy hashbrowns stacked up on top of each other, all with sausage gravy on top. It kinda reminded me of the southern version of Hawaiian Loco Moco which I also love. It was the first time I've ever had this but it won't be the last! My son had the Country Fried Steak and he really liked it as well. We also got the fried pickles which were really good too. Our waitress Ariail was super nice, friendly, and attentive and kept checking on us throughout our meal to see how we were doing. I would highly recommended giving this place a try if you are in the area.

Despite how busy the Oak was, she was able to find us a table, which we greatly appreciated. The chef did an outstanding job with the trout dish, which was absolutely delicious. Our server, Chip, was charming, attentive, and knowledgeable, helping us navigate the menu with ease. Rich, the manager, also took the time to visit our table and ensure we were enjoying our experience, making us feel genuinely valued as guests. The exceptional hospitality and attention to detail from the entire team made our visit truly memorable. Oak has created a wonderful dining experience, and if every restaurant had a staff like this, dining out would always be a pleasure.

Bring your appetite or ask about portion size before hand! Just a wonderful experience! This will be on our list everytime we visit!

Located at the top of a hill from one of the lakes boat ramps, this quaint spot is perfect for supporting local. From the red and white vinyl picnic table clothes, styrofoam cups, roll of paper towels and Texas Pete at each table, I knew we were going to enjoy some great food. Eggs, crispy bacon, toast served with warm melty butter to spread and cheesy hash browns were all delicious. I also tried their jalapeño grits which were yummy too. Reasonable priced, great service, and great food!

After 8 minutes she said it again. She was preparing to-go orders and no one was even there to pick them up. While customers were sitting no drinks no silverware nothing.

upon arriving there was one car in The parking lot 3 workers outside one was talking to the guest…read morethat was in the vehicle the worker spoke as we were walking in (very friendly). when we entered there were two other workers behind the counter (they spoke as we came in), we proceeded to look for a table to sit and the floors were nasty with trash all over the floor, dirty dishes on a few tables, and many of the tables needed to be washed off. I said loud enough to be heard "As many people working there is no reason for this place to be this nasty" I noticed how the two looked at one another. We found a table that was clean enough to sit down and eat our waiter Tony (cell block c) was friendly, but to focused on his phone, made a fresh pot of coffee that we didn't get til right before our food came out (very slow). normally I'm on my second cup by the time I get my food. ONE CUP was all we had and was not asked to refill at no point. The food was not the best the grits was lumpy as he**, and the bacon was over cooked, the female waiter must be new because she wasn't sure of the items they had, wasn't familiar with the menu. shortly after we received our food Tony decided to sweep and mop at the floor. Why sweep the floor around people while they are eating, this should've been done while there was no one there. Don't know who owns this place but they need to rethink not only their staff but their management first and foremost. This would be my last option to eat at or I'll just go the extra miles and drive out of town to eat. I had to use the bathroom but if the eating area looked this bad I wasn't going to take a chance with the bathroom so I just decided to wait til I got back home to use the bathroom. -----annoying

Our group of 8 was seated right inside the entrance of the restaurant and my back was to the lake side view. Therefore, I can only say I experienced a typical hotel bar restaurant vibe. Our server did a good job-even taking a minute to take a group photo for us. The brunch menu had a variety of choices. I chose the Renfrow Wings off of the Shareables Menu and a side salad. This consisted of 13 chicken wings so I had plenty of left overs. I ordered 1/2 teriyaki and 1/2 bbq. It was hard to distinguish between the two, but they were good. I need to go back and give this restaurant another try. This time I'll make sure to enjoy the view, maybe even sit outside on the patio if it's cool enough. I know this sounds strange, but I'm giving them a 4 star in anticipation of that lake view...
