First, let me say- I recall coming here with my mother as a kid. So, while staying in Woodland briefly and seeing it was still open for business...I thought- must still be a favorite place. NOPE! We had to inquire if they were open because it was dark and empty when we walked in....(Warning) We were seated and our server was very pleasant and promptly offered beverages- we ordered a soda. We examined the menu that was Extensive. Maybe Too Extensive (Warning) - seems like places that go overboard on menu options and have low volume have more opportunities for food spoilage. We took the SAFE route and went with Breakfast options....Wise Move!! Both our breakfasts were delicious!! Hot, tasty and just what we were hoping for!! We were especially Shocked that this Dated little spot was forging ahead with Technology....with a Robot Waiter!! We're from Arizona where trends are the Rage. I hadn't seen one in person before!! Kudos for trying to stay cutting edge!! Here's my suggestion...use some funds to upgrade/update to ambiance, simplify the menu to focus on What your Specialties are...and, try to recapture the energy/community it used to have. Three stars cause it was delicious and staff was sweet- otherwise, we won't be back due to the unpleasant atmosphere and stale odor of the establishment. Needs a facelift. read more

we went to a gathering here over 50 people. They only had 2 waitresses for the banquet hall. The food was way overpriced and not good. $9.00 for kids Kraft Cheese Marconi. $18.00 for chef salad with wilted lettuce. read more

First time visit 10/01/2025 09:50 hostess greeting me seems pissed, whatever the opposite of friendly is. Smells like an old bus station and kitchen grease. The carpet floors are gross! $15.00 for 3 eggs + 4 piece bacon (small skinny strips of bacon) $5.00 for coffee. Only thing available for cream is on table in self serving packets of sweetened vanilla industrial chemical crap. I asked server if anything else available? answer: "no whatever is on table is all we have" Won't be back. I would have much rather taken my chances at the nearby gas station for breakfast and coffee. read more

We visited at lunch and were surprised to find the bankrupt stew on the menu. That stew was a major draw for us years ago and under a different owner. Needless to say, we were pleased and I was quick to order. However, was a tad disappointed when it arrived because it definitely wasn't the same. The name was. I thought it was disappointing. Server was swamped as the restaurant was packed. She was obviously stressed and it was obvious. However, she had a robot helper that delivered food. That was the best part of our meal. Restaurant was fine. We thought it a little expensive for what we ordered but hasn't everything gone up? read more

I was looking for a place for a cocktail and happy hour snack which is almost impossible in Woodland. I found out they just started serving happy hour food so I ordered two tacos. Absolutely flavorless meat very little lettuce and cheese. They charged me $.78 for a teaspoon of onions, which I asked to be added to the tacos. The salsa was canned tomatoes with some onion and cilantro in it, again, no flavor or heat whatsoever. For having such a huge menu, I just have a hard time finding anything I like to eat in this place. Maybe they should reduce the choices and concentrate on making it fresh and delicious! The bartender was very attentive, which was nice, but I was the only person in there lol. I told her they should put a sign out advertising their happy hour to get some people in there. That's how you make money..... read more

We stopped in here for dinner on our way home from visiting the Ape Caves in Cougar. The restaurant was clean, well decorated and pleasent. The menu was extensive and made it hard to choose what to pick as it all sounded delicious after a full day of travel and hiking. Everything we ordered was delicious, freshly prepared and served with a smile and a robot! I ordered a margaritas from the bar which was personally delivered by Bob the Bartender. Bob stopped by after after we ate and asked how the drink was - my rating was in the top 10 of margaritas I've had over the years. We will definitely be making this our go to stop when Visiting the area. read more

Came by here again for a late lunch. Had the legendary club on rye and a salad. Excellent and fresh and served quickly by a super friendly and polite waiter. I never want this place to change. It's perfect. read more

Restaurant was clean. Servers were friendly. Restaurant was very busy. Food was ok. My husband ordered seafood Alfredo special. He enjoyed everything except the rubbery lobster on his dish. I ordered the chicken cordon bleu. Don't see it often on a menu, so I was excited to try it. It was very unimpressive. Seemed to be from frozen and not freshly prepared. The sauce was thick and grainy. The mashed potatoes and gravy were lukewarm. The green beans were delicious and the best part of my meal. I would visit again and try something else. Not awful. Just underwhelming as a whole. We did get a cinnamon roll to go and it was very tasty! read more

The Oak Tree was much better on a previous visit, today was a major disappointment. Crispy hash browns, good. Huevos rancheros, meh. Too much cilantro in the ranchero sauce which was a surprise since it rarely has it in it from my experience. But whatever you do, DON'T GET THE BAKED GOODS! I got a cinnamon roll to go. Big mistake. The thing had to be at least 2 days old from the concrete like texture and was completely inedible. read more

I would say the food for breakfast was very good the prices were acceptable, The bill was $58 for two adults and two kids for breakfast We then left a $9 cash tip on the table but when the charge hit the card we were charged $75 the issue has never been resolved read more

I'm giving these guys a bump on their rating because of all the bad reviews. I was regretting that I agreed to try the Oak Tree after reading all the dang negatives. But my dinner was delicious and the wait staff were amazing. We had Dulce and she was so friendly, thoughtful and attentive. But we interacted with others, everyone was great. I had the fried chicken, it was yummy. Everyone told me to try the Mexican food, so I'll do that next time.So glad I came. The only down sides: very dated interior, but honestly I thought it charming. Especially given its years of serving food road side of the freeway. The bathrooms were clean. The food did take a little while, the only reason I noticed is my 4 yr old nephew was starving, it was worth the wait. read more

This place wasn't what I expected and I was pleasantly surprised! The prices are a little on the higher side for basically diner fare but the service was top notch and it was very clean. They also take reservations! I thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast burger and the hashbrowns were perfectly crispy. The little lounge they have off the dining room has been obviously updated and looks pretty dang cool! Will be back. read more

2026: $1.50 per taco??!!! YES PLEASE! Happy hour can't be beat! They don't get many customers in the bar, since most customers lately prefer the dining room. So you'll have to ask them to turn the lights on for you, lol. BUT I ALWAYS GET SUPER SPEEDY service once they know I'm here. THEY EVEN HAVE ROBOT WAITERS!! TBH, the bathrooms are not always 100% functional, the bar is dark, and the staffing levels are low (only one waitress for the whole dinner and bar), not to mention the decor seems a bit "flea market finds." But I come here regularly for the awesome value. And the food is great! These ain't your tiny street tacos! They are nice and big crunchy corn tacos (they can also do flour)... and yes, I usually have to put a napkin on my plate to absorb the extra grease. But seriously! Where can you even get this good of a deal for dinner in 2026 anymore?? Come support this local restaurant and be happy you spent less than fast food! read more

The Oak Tree used to be an institution along I-5. When we went to Woodland the other day my elderly mother wanted to have lunch there. When we walked I it was like walking into the 1970s. Even with the spacious lobby contains refrigerator cases of desserts it just looked sad. Dark and nearly empty with aging leatherette booths. The food was just terrible. My mother ordered the pot roast which came with mashed potatoes and green beans. It smelled terrible and was covered with gluggy brown gravy which probably came from a jar. She ate a few bites and said she was full. I ordered the Mushroom Swiss Burger. Hard to ruin a hamburger, right? Nope. The bun was thin and soggy, there was a skiff of melted Swiss cheese and a few grilled onions on top of an obviously microwaved patty. No lettuce or tomato. 2 little pickle chips on the side. There was a tiny bit of bagged salad under the pickle. I ordered tots and they came out blond and barely warm. This is a sad, outdated place. The server was nice but not nice enough to overcome sub-par food. read more

Nice place good food and service! Robot waitress assistant was novel and interesting!

I am very sorry to say this but the Oaktree has come down from when we went there. The current manager/ chef Roberto exhibits signs of drug use including hyperactivity, profuse sweating and unhygienic appearance and smell. I would not be surprised if there is something more than Pasta Primavera available at the Oaktree these days. read more

We stopped by after filling up gas with our car and wanted to grab some lunch. We decided to get lunch at the restaurant and we had a good experience. The waitress was friendly and the food was decent served by a robot assistant with our food! Love it! read more

Way too large of a menu, high prices, delivery robots do not fit the vibe at all, food was meh at best and that is NOT The Oak Tree salad. Good for nostalgia, that's about it. Service was good. read more

A traditional pub in an area of Woodland Washington with impeccable service. As someone waltzing in at 10 am with a suitcase in tow, they made me feel welcome and were super nuce. Ambiance is great as the lounge offers a pool table and a table for card games but the place still has a homely country vibe. The food is pretty good. I love how their specialty is "mess" mashups which typically involve a mixture of eggs, hash browns, cheese and some other ingredients that while it may not be the most visibly appealing, it tastes great! read more

[Visited: July 24th, 2023] First off, I want to emphasize how great the host and server were before the rest of my review! They both were very attentive, kind, and had great, positive attitudes. However, the food was not good. The french toast was on this huge, thick piece of bread which I don't feel like works for that kind of dish. The bacon tasted like the cheapest they possibly could find... I didn't finish my two pieces. Which says a lot because it's BACON. The eggs weren't good either unfortunately. It just tasted like a quick, bland breakfast someone whipped up at home. Hopefully the food quality can step it up a notch. The restaurant has potential! The interior of the restaurant is unique. read more

Well.. What can I say. I stopped by to grab early dinner togo at the NEW OAKTREE in Woodland.. And was so dissatisfied and disappointed!! Look Chicken Fettuccine sld be a staple to a cook!! HEAT CREAM TO A LOW BOIL REMOVE FROM HEAT ADD PARMIGIANA,GARLIC AND POUR on Al dente noodles and serve !! That's it !!!! And this person managed to Make milk noodles no flavor that were mush mess whoever made it definitely needs to go on ytube and learn how to make fettuccine Alfredo!!! 20$ for mush noodles and milk flavored Alfredo that was not edible and actually made my stomach hurt. it was the worst... The chicken was good the mushrooms were old and on the verge of turning. If this is the quantity of food your serving at the new oaktree your restaurant won't be in business for long. And it's sad because in the past it was a great place for a family to go and enjoy a good meal. read more

Cat robot is amazing. Haven't even gotten my food and it's already a 5 star restaurant.

It had been many years since I ate there. Before it was a casino, we went for Sunday buffets and had celebrated work holiday parties there, always having great meals and service. I was pleased to hear it had reopened and on a sentimental journey stopped by on a Monday afternoon. Each staff server was very pleasant and I chose to be served in the lounge. The bartender/server gave me great recommendations. I had the hearty beef stew, 1/2 sandwich and an ale. Service was prompt and food was hot and tasty. I enjoyed chatting with my server and even took home a huge fresh cinnamon roll! (I've been enjoying it for breakfasts since!) I laughed as I saw Cooper's landing in the corner, named after the infamous DB Cooper! read more

Consistently decent diner food with plenty of seating and menu options. Breakfast available all hours. Friendly atmosphere and employs the best server in town, Brenda! read more

Good food, reasonable prices, full menu, large portions. Woodland is limited for sit down dinner options, the Oak Tree fills that niche.

I want to be clear that our server, Eladia, was great. The restaurant was very understaffed. I called 1/2/2024 and made a reservation for 13 people for 5:45 dinner on 1/5. We arrived at 5:25 and had to wait to have the table set. We were served our dinners 1 hour and 15 minutes later. Some items were cold. The fish and chips was 4 tiny square pieces (2" square) of flattened fish sticks. Most of the other food ordered was good. I fault the owner/manager of this restaurant. You put an undue burden on your staff. If you can't afford to hire staff don't accept reservation for large groups. Sadly, living here in Woodland, there are so few places to go. This one is off my list permanently. read more

I grew up eating at the Oak Tree since the 70's. It was gone for a while, but I'm glad to see it back. The service and space are great. The food is on the bland side, but solid enough. I hope they focus more on the food quality a little more. read more

Nostalgic and delicious and wonderful service. The new owners have done a wonderful job revamping the place to its original glory.

Went to oak tree for the first time since the remodel and new ownership. I got the chicken fried steak, eggs, hash browns and toast. The building had a really nice face light. It looks great inside. Very inviting and classy. My only complaint is that they don't seem to have air conditioning in the restaurant except the bathrooms. The bathrooms felt amazing. I'd definitely get my meal again but most likely not on a summer day. I thought I'd come in to cool off and finally try the oak tree. Just a bit too warm in there for me. My niece got the kids breakfast and loved it!! read more

Good was ok. Was empty when I went in. Finally found my group I was going to meet. I parked at a gas station in front. First I went in a foot and it was under construction. Kind of an odd place. I'm sure it will improve in time. Waitress finally took order about an hour later. Like I said desolate at first. When I left at 11:40. There were people at last. Good not bad but not the best either read more

Well, I used to visit Oak Tree when our family lived in La Center. I now live several miles north. Had come to see family and friends and began to realize I was quite tired and probably unsafe to drive. So, I parked under their huge oak tree and took a short nap. Waking up,I realized I needed to use the restroom quickly - Went into the restaurant and was quickly approached by a staff member who refused my entrance. I am not a homeless person, just a well dressed smiling traveler. So, knowing the nearby Casa Tapatia to be kind, courteous and professional, I moved on to there. And they were more than kind and accepting. Sad sad when you get turned away. Stick with kind small businesses and spread the kindness! read more

I really enjoyed their breakfast. Chicken fried steak was great and hash browns were super crispy. I was glad to see they reopened- things are nice and tidy inside. Service was swift and friendly. read more

Stew was terrible. It tasted like weak chili mixed with all the leftover soups. The waitress said it is a popular order.

Customer service was great but food was disappointing. They have done a good job remodeling and the bar is very cute if you want to just stop by for a drink. read more

Similar to others, my wife and I went back to the "new" Oak Tree just to see.Ordered OT salad and Bankruptcy Stew (our previous standbys). The stew was great, much like what we remembered, lots of meat and full-flavored. Salad was a disappointment. Blue cheese dressing was unlike the original. Emily, the server, was sweet and attentive. She happily replaced my lukewarm coffee with a fresh pot. read more

Great food and service. Totally a great diner feel! The desserts are amazing! We have enjoyed breakfast and lunch.

Have been coming here for decades with our families, so when it was announced that there was a reopening, we were excited. Especially for the beet salad, as it was legendary. Our visit today was truly a disappointment. The beet salad wasn't even close. It was some greens with 1/10 the amount of beets they used to put on. Not even comparable. They didn't have dressings I preferred, one of which is always on the beet salad. It's 3 hours after opening, how can you be out already? The rest of our meal was very good, which is why 2 vs 0 stars. Service was horrible. Waitress brought our order then never saw her again. No refills of water, 6oz glass so it was small to begin with. No checking to see if our food was ok. Asked another waitress for help twice and she ignored us. They were not busy either. Only had maybe 6 tables going. Sad to say we won't be back. Had told our kids and families we were going to take them there sometime, but not now. Now plan to tell people it's not the place to go anymore. read more

Great breakfast! Prompt service! Kind waitresses. This place was great for us today! We were a little in a rush and without saying so much our service was quick and with care. Nice large portions for the price and the strawberry stuffed French toast was delicious! read more
