    Steak

    Cold food, extremely tough steak. Waitresses were overwhelmed and left us waiting for an extremely long time. Would not recommend to anyone Lighting feels like a hospital

    Meat lovers omelet with country potatoes and toast.
    Rob M.

    3 1/2 stars. Have eaten a lot here over the years. It serves its purpose, but isn't spectacular. I really miss the buffet offerings they used to have. Menu is solid, especially their breakfast offerings. Major negative is that they don't have peanut butter available for pancakes/waffles. We usually get great service and prices are reasonable. Using your free meal credits will usually cover the entire bill.

    Steak sandwich with sweet potato fries
    Deb H.

    This restaurant is located inside The Black Oak Casino. The place is very nice and clean. We didn't have to wait long to be seated at all and everyone is very friendly - made us feel very welcome! The service overall was outstanding as we kept getting checked back in on and our drinks never got below 1/4 full. They have a pretty expansive menu and everything tastes good. I just wish the cut of the steak for the steak sandwich was a higher quality meat as mine was very fatty and I kept having to chew it many times and even spit a few inedible pieces out which was a shame because the rest of the sandwich tasted great. I love that they offer sweet potato French fries and I got them with a side of ranch dressing - delicious! Overall the sandwich was delicious and the whole experience would have been 5 stars, instead of 4, if the quality and cut of the steak in the sandwich didn't have so much Gristle. Maybe I just got a bad one so I'd give it a try next time since the rest of the sandwich was very tasty!

    Had the smash burger, give it a B+ fries an A- they were crispy outside and soft inside.

    French Dip with side salad

    The Bacon Cheeseburger and fries were really good. My Dad had the French Dip sandwich. He said it was really good too. I'll be back again for that Bacon Cheeseburger for sure.

    Waited 15 minutes to he seated and drink orders were taken and recieved. Had to wait atleast 20 minutes or more for waiter to tell us they were short staffed and woyld get to us shortly. Once order was taken food came out promptly. Food was good and a good price. It wasnt that busy abd medium level noise.

    We came here after a 2/3 day at Leland Snow Play (strongly suggest for kids who are too scared to ski/snowboard. I'm honestly not sure if I was just SUPER hungry or what, but this place was a lot better than expected. Food: The kids ordered hamburgers, I ordered a Chicken Fried Steak, and the wife ordered Chicken Alfredo. All were good! Not GREAT but good. The pasta was rich and the chicken wasn't overdone. The Chicken Fried steak was well... Chicken fried steak, not sure what you'd want out of it. Service: We waited a while for our server. This is the sole reason we had a -1 star. Originally, I joked it's because we had 8 people and they had already earned their 20% tip. But nope, they were like that with everyone. They came by, introduced themselves, and walked away. I would give them -2 stars for service, but i mean, everything came out hot, just slowly. Cleanliness: The floor was sticky... like REALLY sticky. A little offputting how sticky it was. It was only under my chair which meant that it ended up being the last patron spilled their soda and it was never cleaned. Everything else was very clean though so there's that. Overall the price was okay given the area and the kicker was that we were there on a Sunday and they had a great deal of "buy an entree get a free dessert". We'd probably go back again if we're in the area. It was a good time, a very looong good time.

    Black and Blue Burger

    Went up and bowled at Black Oak and grabbed lunch at the cafe. Only issue was the smoke drifted in. Bummer. My wife and I split Chicken Curry Sandwich and it was dry. Flavor was good but it was just a little dry. My friend had the Black and Blue Burger and loved it. Looked great. His wife had the Fried Raviolis and they were very good. We all had some and enjoyed them. Our service was very good and the ambience is decent. You don't feel cramped or crowded. I would go back.

    Kids menu

    Way better than I expected! We're staying at the hotel to get up to the Leland snow play area which is about 45 minutes away. We decided to keep is easy and not drive to get dinner tonight, which brings us to the Black Oak Cafe. The hostess was super sweet as was the waitress. They have a $5 kids breakfast menu and $10 kids dinner menu which is perfect for our kiddo, and a a good variety on the menu for adults. Salads, soups, burgers, sandwiches, chicken, steak, and fish entrees, as well as pasta. Reasonably priced, averaging $20 an entree. We got the prime rib French dip (4/5), turkey burger (4/5), and kids cheeseburger meal (4/5). Would recommend to anyone staying here if you're looking for a fuss-free, reasonably-priced meal

    Black oak breakfast
    Dennis X.

    My mom and I always stop by this restaurant when we come to Black Oak! The atmosphere is classy and the servers are pleasant. I usually get the Chicken Alfredo or the Tuscan Salmon. The pasta is very savory and creamy and the garlic bread is perfectly toasted, complimenting each other well. The bowl of Clam Chowder is also a pretty hearty portion and is best with some Tabasco (if you've never tried, prepare to be shook!). This last time I went, my mom got the Black Oak breakfast and aside from the fact that it was delicious, there was plenty to take home. Celena was our waitress and she was sweet and helpful. It does seem like this place is a little understaffed, making service consistently slow. Heads up to give this team a little bit of patience, as you take your break from gambling!

Perhaps it's due to inflation but 70$ for a couple sandwiches and a milkshake seems high but speaking of, it IS good! We got the patty melt with fried chicken on the inside, and onion rings, a Dr Pepper with a chocolate shake! My friend got the Chicken Pesto Sandwich with their garlic fries and their ranch (which was home made I tried it. YUM) the food was juicy and the milkshake was creamy with real ice cream. Absolutely delish!!!! The service was great per usual! Our server I've had before who is hilarious, SUPER good at serving I swear can triple task. Plus he was good at bringing me Dr Pepper and gave me one to go. Extra points for that!!!! If there's one thing I loooove it's my drinks and the faster I get them fresh the happier I personally am!!! The ambiance is very casual and usually packed to the bone!! The residents of the area are all friendly, the girls working behind the bar are sweethearts it's decorated with country style everything! I saw a puppy in there named Kona, very relaxed atmosphere and comfortable I highly recommend if you're traveling and looking for somewhere good to eat off of the 108 with amazing service and food it's here!!!

When we were seated, our waitress said it would be about 35 minutes before food would arrive. We decided to stay since we were not in a rush to get anywhere. We ordered drinks that took a bit to come out and for food, I ordered the Cranberry Gorgonzola Salad, my friends ordered the Chicken Wings and Fish and Chips. Our food did not come out at the 35 minute mark, we actually ended up waiting 51 minutes. Waiting almost an hour for your meal is wild -- our waitress did check on us a couple of times, but I just cannot get past the wait - 35 minutes turning into 51 is a long time to wait. Now if the food had been worth it, I probably would have been fine with the wait, but it unfortunately it was not. The chicken on my salad was iceberg cold - it was also in larger chunks so a few pieces were tough to chew and overcooked. Overall, staff were very nice, but based off the wait and food - I would not want to come back. Maybe I ordered the wrong item, but after waiting almost an hour, I can't see myself coming back.
