    Chicken strips dinner
    Sean R.

    First time here, and last. Ordered chicken strips to takeout. What the heck am I supposed to do with these? It's a shame that the cook would even through these in the box, knowing they overcooked them to hell...I question their integrity! Was supposed to be dinner for my son. Had to throw this away and head back out to Gregg's for a chicken strips dinner. What a waste of my time and money, Black Oak! Wait staff was nice and attentive - have nothing but nice things to say about them. Just a crappy food experience.

    Nice large off street parking lot. Cute inside. Appear to have outside seasonal seating. Drinks were amazing, everyone agreed and they even offered beer flights! Food was great too! Everything was delicious. They were out of nearly every dessert. They were out of rolls BUT made us some probably better than rolls garlic bread as all we really wanted were carbs - so cheers to the kitchen there! Waitress was new but attentive! Food definitely felt overpriced, so wouldn't be back often - but would never say no!

    The food at Black Oak is consistently excellent. The ambience is appropriate to a pub- dark, intimate and cozy. The service is typically excellent - my partner and I usually sit at the bar and have Marissa take care of us. We try to visit at least once a week unless life gets too hectic.

    Mehhhhh... that's how I would describe our visit to Black Oak on a Sunday afternoon. We were there around 1ish and were disappointed the menu was half brunch items with very limited lunch options. I got a salad with grilled chicken. The chicken was dry and they charge for dressing on the side which is odd. My husband got an omelet which he said was very good, huge portion and good flavors. None of us like the home fries which were over cooked and not seasoned. What bumped this down from 3 to 2 stars were the 2 orders of inedible chicken fingers and fries my kids took one bite of each and gagged. We thought they were overreacting until we tried the chicken. Yuck! They were like freezer burnt rubber chicken strips. The service was pretty good, attentive server, all business but we got what we asked for. Underwhelming experience and not likely to return for food.

    Fried Chicken bowl was delicious. Think KFC's version but with high quality and tastier ingredients! Mac and cheese was also amazing. Delicious and creamy. Drinks were pretty good as well. Sat at the bar. Bartenders were very pleasant and constantly checked in on us if we needed anything. Free parking in parking lot that is shared.

I love me a good bubble tea and they have really good flavors (lychee has been my go too lately), and the egg rolls they are delicious! Me and my fiancé went inside to grab 2 bubble teas the other day. There's enough parking which is great, and I believe they have karaoke in the evenings around 9:30pm ( we haven't tried this yet). The owner is very kind and attention. They've always been kind on the phone and in person as well. They only lose one star because the ambiance was a little off. Customers seemed to stare as if we had twenty heads, but the owner didn't act that way. But that's the reason why it lost one star I felt very uncomfortable and out of place. And as much as I loved it on the inside I doubt I would go inside to eat after that weird feeling.

We came in and sat at the bar and no one said anything to us about going to the counter to order. The two girls working didn't have the common sense or social skills to say "hi, oh go ahead and place your order at the counter" they just watched us sit here for a good ten minutes. So we order, spend $30 on drinks and food. We go sit down and my friend asks for a cup of water and the girl comes over and says "that'll be $.80" Uhhh okay? So my friend gets out her card and pays for the water. Like I said. Everytime I have been back the people get less friendly and weirder. I don't think I'll be back. Longshore for life.

In the morning they offer a wide arrange of coffee, breakfast sandwiches and baked goods. They then close for an hour before offering alcohol from 4p-9p. Breakfast sandwich was good but the bagel was a more doughy texture than I prefer. The sandwich though had double egg and cheese, so very hearty. Coffee was good but would request less ice in the future (my cup was probably 3/4 ice so had to nurse it if I didn't want to drink all the coffee after a few sips).

We stopped in on a very busy Friday night but were pleasantly surprised to be seated quickly in the bar area, which is my preferred spot anyway. The manager who greeted and seated us was genuinely friendly, setting the tone for a great evening. Our servers were equally wonderful and took the time to answer all of my questions about the gluten-free menu. I was especially excited to learn they have a dedicated gluten-free fryer, which is always a huge plus for those with food sensitivities. We started with a couple of summer spritz cocktails. They were light, refreshing, and perfect for a warm evening. I ordered their take on a Hugo Spritz and really enjoyed it. My boyfriend chose the Limoncello Spritz. It wasn't quite my style, but it was still well made and delicious. For dinner, we both ordered the steak tips with steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes. The steak tips were cooked perfectly, the mashed potatoes were incredibly flavorful, and everything on the plate was delicious. It was one of those meals where you're tempted to lick the plate clean. Between the friendly service, gluten-free accommodations, and excellent food, this was an easy five-star experience. I already have my eye on several other gluten-free menu items and will definitely be back soon.

From the moment she approached our table, Riley focused almost entirely on my boyfriend. She bent over and leaned in toward him, trying to read the small emblem on the left side of his shirt. When she couldn't make it out, she asked what it said, what it meant, and where he worked. He gave very short answers and looked at me the entire time, clearly trying to signal that he wasn't interested in continuing the conversation. She then proceeded to tell him several personal details about herself, even though he had never asked. Before walking away, she finally turned to me and asked what I wanted to drink. Those were the only words she spoke directly to me during the interaction. She otherwise never acknowledged me or made eye contact. Both times Riley left our table, she stopped to speak with another server before walking away. Each time, that server immediately looked back toward our table, which added to how awkward and uncomfortable the situation felt. When she returned with our waters, she asked if we were ready to order appetizers before we'd even had a chance to open the menu, then stood at our table while we tried to decide. I finally had to ask for more time. The entire encounter was incredibly bizarre and unlike anything we've ever experienced at a restaurant. My boyfriend was genuinely uncomfortable, and we decided to leave rather than spend our lunch feeling awkward. I spoke with the manager, Kate, who apologized, said she would be speaking with Riley, and offered to send us a gift card. Unfortunately, we never received it. I've never walked out of a restaurant because of a server before, but this experience was that uncomfortable. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this location based on our experience. No couple should feel uncomfortable enough to leave before ordering because of a server's behavior, and the lack of follow-through after management promised to make it right only added to our disappointment. Update: gift card was received
