Oak Diner - Royal Oak (Campbell Rd) Walking into Oak Diner brought back so many great memories. I used to live nearby about 25 years ago and remember coming to a diner in this area for breakfast back then. Fast forward to today--this isn't the same place, but wow, it's absolutely amazing. Right away I loved the vibe. The chalkboards with handwritten menu items and daily specials on the walls give the place so much character and charm. It feels welcoming, classic, and cool all at the same time. The customer service was excellent from start to finish--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. I ordered the country breakfast, which came with biscuits and gravy, eggs, toast, potatoes, and sausage--everything was spot on. I'm usually not a big hash browns person, so I really appreciated that they offer an alternative to the shredded style. I went with the cubed breakfast potatoes (not sure what they officially call them), and they were so much better--crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Between the food, the service, and the overall atmosphere, this place completely won me over. I already know I'll be back next weekend. Oak Diner has a really, really good vibe, and I'm glad I rediscovered breakfast here. Highly recommend. read more

Incredible breakfast experience across all areas. My top choice is definetely the skillets, particularly any of the Eastern European fusion skillets which are delightful. The cinnamon glaze pancakes were fantastic and the breakfast burrito was standard in my opinion. The service was quick and the staff are hospitable, kind, and fun. 9.6/10 overall. read more

Good food. Big portions. Casual atmosphere. I asked for no salt on my hash browns and it was perfect with the eggs and sausage. Not pictured was the decaf coffee! Service was good and parking was sufficient at the 10AM hour on a weekday. I have been here before when much busier and parking can be tight. read more

The best thing we tried here were the cinnamon roll pancakes; solid. But the breakfast tacos, French toast, eggs, and regular pancakes were only OK. Portion sizes here are big, so we had so much leftover hash browns that we should have cut the entire order in half. Prices were fair, service was fast, and I liked the feel of this place too. Ultimately, we thought the food quality here was fine. (That also means it would have been perfect for younger kids, because from a quality perspective, a pancake is a pancake, and Oak does the basics just right.) read more

I had heard good things about this place but was never able to get in (the establishment and parking lot are small). We started going out for breakfast earlier, so now we can get in. They have a really nice size menu and always have rotating specials that we usually get at least one. Nothing particular to recommend as we have tried many things and they are all great. Check it out for yourself. read more

This little diner is an excellent option for breakfast. That's the only meal I've ever eaten there so I can't speak to their lunches, but the breakfast are over the top delicious My friend got a western omelette and the size of the omelette was enormous and he got the little cubed potatoes which I believe there's a choice of like three options instead of hashbrowns and he loved those little cubed potatoes. He ended up taking half of his entire order home because there was just so much food. I got my normal eggs and toast and it was delicious. The service was great and our waitress was friendly and right on top of things at all times. The prices are reasonable and I don't believe there's much of a wait but it's a small diner so at certain times there might be a wait at certain times read more

Great diner with good food and quick service! Their menu is pretty extensive and portion sizes make for a hearty meal. It's a smaller restaurant inside so there's a good chance there's a short wait but it's definitely worth the wait. Overall I would 100% recommend going here for a good, quick brunch! read more

A rare trip to Oakland County early Sunday morning, read dozens of reviews for places. This one jumped off the page for a very good reason . A quaint home feeling yes a real diner how cool. The theme outta the 70's grunge look, very unique. Outstanding Delicious food the Overboard Burrito OMG filled with Bacon Sausage Ham n Cheese, marvelous and cheap for the win. She had the Shroom Overload half Pound Patty Melt with Mushrooms on Both Sides of Bun and Double Cheese, so creative and fantastic. Really good fries and a cup of Italian Wedding Soup. Thanks Ms Shanny for the five star service, you rock. A full house 10am and a line out the door, Yes I know why. See all the 5 Star reviews around the web Google Yelp Instagram Facebook, truly a must visit . #oakdiner @oakdiner #diner #lowprices #creativefood #breakfastburrito #shroomoverload #royaloakmi read more

Food was pretty good and they give big portions for omelets, that it's big enough to share with another person.

i was driving by and saw this small cute restaurant and had to stop. They were very busy and the staff all worked as a team taking care of all the tables. If you needed coffee, someone noticed and your cup was full. Food was good and I will be back. read more

Dark colored hair cooked into scrambled eggs. Overpriced diner meal. Expected more based on reviews.

This little place took us by surprise. We've passed it a 100 times and finally decided to try it and I'm so glad we did. We got the country skillet with their cinnamon pancakes and the biscuits and gravy. Loved it all!! Happy to have found our neighborhood breakfast spot down the street from our house!! read more

Oak Diner - Avo toast and royal split French toast - Diners Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

Oak Diner isn't one of those flashy, chic, modern, minimalistic whatever kind of diners. There's no frills, but it's homey and the service was phenomenal. On top of the that, the food was affordable and delicious. I'd say Oak Diner is one of the few local businesses in the area that is memorable for its brunch. My friend and I stopped by for brunch on a Monday morning and we were shocked at the pricing, given that we normally reside in areas that are much more expensive. They had so many tasty options here - your classic continental American breakfast, skillets, omelettes, and more sweet tooth options like french toast, waffle, and pancakes. And within those categories, there's even more choices. Both of us were craving the french toast, so that's what we ended up going for. RED, WHITE & BLUE - 9.99 Two slices of fluffy french toasts (buttery, slightly sweet, yum) topped with plenty of strawberries, blueberries, and bananas, wow. The portion size was big and the food was so good. For those who aren't big sweet tooths, you can enjoy this with no syrup and it's perfect. The fruit gives it a natural sweetness with a bit of whipped cream on the side. The french toast was soft and fresh, and it didn't feel too heavy either. Where I'm from, this entree would probably be at least $18 with much less fruit. I'd highly recommend giving this a try if you like fresh fruit! My friend got the STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE french toast which he wolfed down pretty quickly. I'd be interested in trying other french toasts next time, or better yet, try one of their savory options that are also super drool-worthy. read more

Oak Diner - Red, White & Blue French Toast - Diners Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

1. People are incredibly friendly and helpful. Key factor was "inside scoop for first-timers" that small pancakes can be substituted for toast... 2. The food is made like the cook/chef is feeding a visiting Royal or Pope...spectacular! The cinnamon roll pancake is pope-worthy. The Hillbilly Benny was 3x better than I expected. 3. Small eclectic place with menu's written in chalk on the walls. We'll definitely be back!!! read more

What a great spot! I had the breakfast taco made from Maple Panckaes. All the meals were great . Found Oak by accident, a month ago and have returned several times. Coffee is great, service great, breakfast great. And nice and clean on top of that. read more

I have literally never had a bad meal here. This is my go to diner whenever I'm craving that great breakfast or lunch. It's a cute place inside and the staff here is always quick and will make sure you have everything you need. They're all super nice as well so truly I have zero negative things to say about this spot. They're always going to be one of my favorites! I love their Denver omelette! read more

Small place but painted in bright colors to be able to find. They have their own parking lot. Only waited a few minutes to get a table! Wait staff was friendly and efficient. Coffee was good and breakfast was hot and delicious. I got a special that had shrimp , potatoes, eggs, onions and cheese. So good! Would definitely go back! read more

TLDR : Quick wait times, insanely clean establishment, amazing meals, PLEASE COME HERE!!! Establishment is well taken care of with insanely clean restaurant facilities. Bathrooms are well maintained with countertops that are never smudged. Same goes with their utensils. They are handed to you in a paper wrapping, which to me, is much better than getting them wrapped in a napkin. The waif staff is always attentive and helpful. Always looking forward to hear you out even when they are constantly packed you'll still get the perfect amount of time. The food is always spot on and never misses a mark. I got the apple cinnamon waffle was to die for - as a season special, you need to get it before it's gone! I always opt out of the hash browns for the tater tots because they are always crispy!! read more

Impromptu breakfast dates are the best We took a walk to Oak Diner, which is one of my favorite neighborhood gems. Weekends can be really busy, so the key is to go early to beat the rush. We ordered classic biscuits and gravy and then also got the bourbon chicken skillet. The sauce on the chicken was sweet without being too sweet, and I would definitely order it again. read more

Oak Diner - The Elvis - Diners Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

I went to Oak Diner on a Saturday morning with my sister. We arrived at about 8:30 and the place was very busy already. You seat yourself so we grabbed an open table. It's very casual The menu has a variety of items and a lot of them are pretty creative. I ordered the Elvis with a side of tots and she ordered the Greek goddess eggs Benedict. We also ordered the s'mores French toast to split because we wanted to try it. The food came out quickly, and was good. The Elvis is definitely very rich, I wish there had been something to cut the richness. The peanut butter cream that was on it was good, but I wish it had been a little creamier/looser because was a little dry unless you used syrup (which sort of overpowered the peanut butter). My sister loved her eggs Benedict and thought it was very unique. The s'mores French toast was good but very very sweet. Lots of marshmallow cream and milk chocolate. The tots were nice and crispy, but could use salt. We both took home leftovers since we ordered so much. The service was great. They kept our water and coffee filled and came around to check on us and the drinks often. Overall, we'll be back read more

We started going to this gem after our go to restaurant was crowded. We've always wanted to try it and we are glad we did. The food is always fresh, tasty and ample. The service is beyond hospitality and feels like family. The ambiance is like eating at home. Very reasonably priced for the food. This is our primary breakfast spot and we love it. read more

Really good breakfast place, especially Frenchtoast. Looks small but good amount of seating and nice staff that is quick.

My sister & I had an errand to do on a Sunday afternoon & decided to have a late brunch while we were out, so I decided to check Yelp for restaurant suggestions in the area. I found the Oak Diner and we decided to go. First of all, it's one of those tiny little independent diners that I always look for when travelling. Small, friendly and a little quirky. We only looked at the breakfast side of the menu. Such interesting choices! I had a hard time deciding. I finally went with the corned beef hash and pancakes instead of toast -- as someone else mentioned, that is the best choice! I hate having to choose between potatoes and pancakes; they're not even equivalents! My sister got the farmer's omelette, and we both got iced tea. The iced tea was good, fresh, and served in large glasses. I feel bad that I accepted when the server asked if I wanted another because it turned out that I could barely finish the first! Our meals were HUGE and delicious! The hash was like hash brown potatoes with corned beef mixed in, rather than the little cubes of potatoes. It was really good, especially because it was crispy. The pancakes were really good as well -- my sister tasted them & liked them, and she doesn't really care for pancakes. She said her omelette was good as well. We each took half of our meals home for another day. I would definitely come back here -- even if I wasn't already going to Royal Oak! read more

One of my favorite places for breakfast/brunch. While it is a tiny spot and you may end up waiting outside, it is well worth the wait! The first time I went here I got the monte cristo sandwich, a half order of biscuits and gravy and my husband got an omelette. Needless to say it was so much food we had leftovers for both of us for breakfast the next day. Everything tasted delicious, your food comes out so quickly after you order it, and the prices were very reasonable! This has become one of our favorite breakfast places! Highly recommend read more

The place is not big and was packed when I visited as it was brunch hour, even though it wasn't on weekend. You would expect they must be good since everyone flocks over here. The place is very casual, exactly what you would expect from a diner, although it's far more buzzing than diner in movies. They have their specials written on the blackboard with chalk and their regular on laminated menu. The menu is pretty big--sweet, savory, small bites, large meal, they got all the typical brunch stuffs. I got veggie omelette with fruit cup and pancake while my friend ordered the oh pebbles!, which really is fruity pebbles loaded pancakes, and tater tots. Portion is pretty good, filling but not too big. If you don't have much of an appetite you might even bring some home. The Oh Pebbles! was way too sweet for me, but the regular pancake is good. Omelette is okay, meets expectation, but not above and beyond. Still enjoyable though read more
