We had a very lovely dinner here a few weeks ago. Wonderful outside area - very large and even has a guitar player during the summer months? We started with the Classic Grizzly Knot (small) and it was delicious - perfect for two people to share. We then shared one of the special Detroit - Style Pizza. I would say ~8 focaccia style pizza (that reheated wonderfully the next day). It was a special - so I think it was a spicy sausage w/ hot honey? I truly can't recall, but it was fabulous - great combination and the crust was so good. I would recommend this restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed the pizza and atmoshere. read more

We've come here many times, and the good and beer is top notch! However, the last few times we've come, our service has gotten slower and slower. Tonight, we went in for dinner and were super excited for the bee stinger pizza (seriously, it's so good!) but after being seated for over 15 minutes and not having a server even stop at our table or acknowledge us in any way despite closing checks out and refilling waters for the 3 tables next to us. We ended up walking out without anyone ever stopping at our table and went over to Legends across the parking lot, where we were greeted & had drink orders delivered almost immediately. read more

We had hoped for a nice evening on the large patio, but a sudden storm doused those plans. Inside seating was nice, lots of big screens with sports and fun bar vibe. Our server was great, suggesting that if we ordered an appetizer, one Detroit style pizza would be plenty. And she was right. We had the best cheese curds I've had south of the Wisconsin border. Light breading and excellent taste. I chose the Mt Massive craft brewed IPA and it was very good. Not too fruity or hazy, a solid IPA worthy of a second round. We got the Chi-Town Detroit-style (a lot of Great Lakes attitude there) and it was wonderful! Sauce had great flavor, but the focaccia bread crust was outstanding. Light and buttery, not like a heavy deep dish crust. So good! Highly recommend. Desserts looked awesome, but we were too stuffed. Looking forward to a return visit with friends to try one (or two) of them! read more

Ike and Oak is the perfect local brewery spot! Great patio in the summer, spacious interior with a nice bar. We've been several times and have come to discover that it's a solid place for a burger and beer. But the REAL star for us is the Detroit style pizza. Soft thick crust with crispy cheesy edges and awesome toppings- our fave is the vegetable pizza and this is a SHOCK because my husband is a meat and potatoes guy but this pizza is just so flavorful and good! Also a great kids menu, our boy downs the Mac n cheese (and we get a few nibbles as well- we can't help it it's delish)! Only thing to note is that the don't do reservations and it does get busy at peak meal times, especially on weekends or nice weather nights. read more

Met a relative here for lunch. Had the Vienna lager- excellent! Also had the Monkey nut which was a peanut butter Porter also quite tasty. Served up by Kurt who actually seemed to care and talked to us a bit and did a nice job lining us up with beers and lunch . Had the Chicken & bacon jam biscuit with a side salad for an ice lunch very tasty. Enjoyed the place. I'll be back one day. Well worth your stop . Bathrooms are clean, they have parking on the east side of the building and also behind the building on the street on the west side. Do patronize, good place. read more

I really like the beer & food. However, last nite, a Saturday, after I was sat with a beer & a menu it was time to clean the bar at 7:30p instead of ever coming back. Then after I got my food ordered thru another server I got sassed with 'are you gonna order more food' & then asked 'if I'd like to be spoonfed like a king' ??? I don't think I'll be back for awhile & I'll definitely be sharing this story- Tip: $2. read more

Little bit of everything, pretty solid beer, glorified appetizer/pizza-focused food menu and ambiance-a-plenty given that the brewhouse intermingles with the bar. Love a brewery with a good pretzel and theirs is no slouch. Two kinds of pizzas and both looked fantastic. Ample big screens and efficient service given that it was t particularly crowded. We'll likely be back. read more

Great brewery, full kitchen service spot if you are looking for good beer and a bite to eat! Back after not visiting for a few years and the food is still solid. The menu has definitely evolved over the years with new and fun flavors. Options for pizza, burgers, sandwiches: We tried the Rueben and Bee Stinger Detroit style pizza which was a unique pizza to say the least. I'd recommend to others looking for a brewery scene with friends or family! read more

Great little brewery! Came here without a reservation and was able to get seated - but it was busy! They have plenty of beer on tap and I loved the flight option available. Their burgers were excellent and great pairing with their beers. Staff was friendly and attentive - overall good experience and would recommend if you're in the area. read more

Feeling just uncomfortable. The chairs are either leather or fake and I'm a vegetarian and I feel awkward asking and probably they won't know. Then I just didn't feel like the bartender was overly inviting and then the flight doesn't come in anything to carry so I can't go sit down at a definitely non flesh seat. Beer is good though. Nothing super amazing but good. Just standing awkwardly at the bar and finishing quickly. read more

Nice local place to hang out, have a beer, and some bites. I ordered the white stout which had notes of vanilla and chocolate - delicious. The pizza reminded me of the old Rocky Roccoco days - the square pizzas with a fluffy crust. It went really well with the beer and enough to split, particularly if you get an appetizer or salad before. read more

The live music was the best part tonight! He as very good: Bobby Knutek. He sang a lot of old 70-80s favorites. We had the Mango Bear-I-Cane $11. Cocktail and it was a bit watery. The bread pudding was very dry so we had to order a 2nd scoop of ice cream which they charged $3 for so the total was $13. The ambience is very nice w shuffleboard, TVs everywhere, high chairs, indoor and outdoor seating, and free parking. read more

Dennis... name of the night. Very professional yet personable, well-spoken, considerate & most down to earth host we have had in a very long time! We are literally driving home from our first visit here & I couldn't wait to shout him out in my review. Besides the excellent service, my wild mushroom pizza was absolutely delicious. Loved every bite. My husband was not too fond of his fish sandwich but the lovely Dennis told the manager (who also was very thoughtful) & they took that item off the bill for us. I can't wait to come back. read more

Love their sours. Ive been here several times. Their HARBOR COUNTRY DELIGHT (BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE-PASTRY SOUR) is delicious. It has a great pastry taste. I also had their Everything But The Bagel Dip and Biscuit Sandwich from the brunch menu. I wasn't a fan of the fried egg on the biscuit (but that's subjective) everything else was great! There's plenty of seating inside and outside (covered). read more

I love Ike & Oak! I've been here too many times to count and have never grown tired of their beer or food. I enjoy beer so I've tried quite a bit of their drinks and have never been disappointed. Their Detroit style pizza is some of my favorite pizza in the area and I could probably eat it every night for dinner. Service is always friendly and this is a night spot to either kick back or hang before a movie at Seven Bridges. read more

I don't know about the food. I heard people liked it - my post is on beer and service. I showed up Sunday with a friend and the bartender seemed irritated with us, and a few other tables. It was busy, but her approach was short and not friendly. Yes, they had a craft thing that added traffic, but that doesn't mean falter on new people showing up. Bad impression The beer, it was ok. 7-8 bucks for a 12 oz pour not a pint. Fine. But nothing was exciting or new. The bear mimosa was not balanced for me and IPA (that was to be grapefruit forward) wasn't for me. The place itself is very nice but I am seeing the value with the beer or service. read more

We've been here a handful of times and have never been disappointed. The patio is covered and has music sometimes. It's a great brewery that serves pizza, salads and sandwiches. The beer menu has a variety of options. They have brunch option on Saturday and Sunday. The thin crust pizza has a great crust, the fennel sausage is our favorite. The Greek salad is one of my all time favorite salads. read more

Walked in at 6:30 on a Saturday to a 20 min wait but not a big deal, expected longer since it was pretty crowded. Grabbed a quick drink at the bar & husband was excited about the enticing beer list. He liked most of the ones he tried & would go back for a repeat of them. Ambiance was cozy & they even changed one of the tvs for us on request so we could see our favorite hockey team playing. Food was as ordered & came out hot & fairly quick for how busy it was. Service was good but we did have to flag him down once or twice. Great guy though, just busy night for him. Will return again to try the burgers , they looked good! read more

TAPPER Get a pint or get a whole flight of beer at this solid brewery and restaurant in Woodridge. The Seven Bridges complex off of Route 53 features a myriad of spots to eat at, including a Bdubs, Lima Fresca (taco + tequila bar), Legends (a sports bar), and a sushi place. Ike & Oak is among them as another dependable option for food & drink. Beer-wise, I can recommend the Gold Hill (Kölsch), Broken Carabiner (green tea ale), Mount Massive (imperial IPA), and Ol' Trigger (American amber ale). I'm not big on porters or stouts, but they've got several of those as well. Pints average $6-7 and beer flights (6, 5oz pours) are roughly $13. Their cheese curds ($11) are excellent and come with spicy ranch. The 'lollipop' corn dogs (6 for $14) are a fun appetizer served with beer mustard and smoky ketchup. The skillet jalapeno cornbread ($15) with cinnamon butter was a nice change-of-pace. The soft pretzel comes in two sizes: a jumbo 'grizzly knot' ($7) and super-jumbo 'bear knot' ($14), both of which are served with beer cheese sauce and sweet heat mustard. This is perfect for sharing and pairs up wonderfully with any of their house brews. Ike & Oak offers thin crust Neapolitan-style pizzas as well as Detroit-style pan pizzas with a burnt cheese crust. I loved the proscuitto & goat cheese pan pizza (grape tomato, arugula, balsamic glaze, $17) and found the breakfast thin crust w/fried eggs tasty too. Although the BBQ burger (1/2lb patty, pub cheese, grilled onions, bbq sauce, pickle, $16) struck me as pretty ordinary, the state fair pork tenderloin ($14) was extraordinary. For $1 extra, you can get it "cyclone style" which means it's tossed in an amazing truffle hot sauce. Do it! In the past, I've also had the pulled pork sandwich ($13) and the 'Yardbird' buffalo chicken sandwich ($16) which were very good. Their fries are just OK, however, not the best around. My friend swears by their cast iron skillet mac 'n cheese ($14). Bread = 4.5 Circuses = 4 Last time I was here with my buddy, Eva R took great care of us. On other visits, the service has been spotty (or we've been forgotten about), though that's not usually the case. The atmosphere is lively and it can get fairly loud, especially on Fridays, weekends, and trivia nights. * TL;DR * Apart from a few hiccups in service, I've generally had great experiences here. Ike & Oak is good for groups or meeting a friend, but it's a bit too noisy for date night. They have nice variety on the menu and rotate their beer taps to keep things fresh. Fried appetizers and pizzas are easily the highlights, and they just (and I mean JUST​) miss the 5* mark. Recommended to anyone looking for a cold pint & a tasty bite. read more

Whoever answers the phone was RUDE! I called in to give a heads up that we have a large group coming tonight at 7, and the person said "Ha, I wish you GOOD LUCK!" very sarcastically in the most sassy valley girl accent ever. Yes I understand we have a large group and we knew there was gonna be a wait, so that's exactly why we thought to call and let them know, and they just threw it back in my face, didn't even try accommodating. I called Legends right after and they were super polite and helpful, which is why we're going there instead. I wish you GOOD LUCK, Ike & Oak! read more

Bottom line: Fun vibe for a beer and apps with the guys but not such a great fam choice. Contemporary urban warehouse vibe in a suburban location. Lots of 4-seat loose tables and chairs and lots of hard surfaces bouncing noise around making it difficult to have a convo at a normal voice level. Lots of TVs to catch your favorite team though. The order, a couple of personal pizzas and nachos, not complicated, took some time to come out but once arrived, was an appetizing presentation. The server was bubbly and appropriately attentive. The focaccia-based "pizzas" were very nicely prepared, not overdone, and packed with sumptuous layers of flavor. Prices are somewhat on the high side--expect to drop 20 bucks on a personal sized pizza but the portion is ample due to the thickness of the bread so you are getting a lot of dough for your dough. Beers, a formidable collection, will set you back 8 bucks each so bring your ATM card. Overall, the place is worth trying but may not end up being a favorite. read more

Just got home from a quick dinner and once again the service was the win! Our bartender was the best. My husband had a pizza and loved every bite. Mine was not as good as before but I ate what I could and opted to add fries since I didn't plan on finishing it. After the fries came out he noticed I didn't eat my original dish and immediately picked up on the problem and took the dish to talk to whomever needed to know. (I'm not trashing the dish because it's normally awesome, must have been an off night). The Cajun fries always rock so I was happy. The fact that the bartender took it upon himself to ask and react quickly to issues far makes up for an off night in the kitchen. This is quickly becoming a new fav of ours! read more

Meant to put this review in from two weeks ago but got busy with work (forgot). We weren't hungry but wanted to go somewhere for a few drink to enjoy the beautiful weather and glad we decided on here. I've been coming here pretty consistently over the past few years and the food and service was always on point. Couldn't decide on beers so naturally the flight was the answer. Numbers 6-12 had a lot more different unique flavors, fruit notes, green tea, and others. If your there in a date, I'd go with the full flight but keep in mind the 6-12 ones are a bit higher in alcohol content. Ordered some food to go with the drinks to snack on and the pizza never disappoint. Get the mushroom pizza if funguses are your thing and you won't be disappointed. All of their pizza is the perfect sharing size. Brussel sprouts is always cooked to perfection and the toasted pine nuts adds another layer of flavor. Don't forget to drizzle the sauce! Truffle fries are usually a gimmick that isn't anything special but this place does it right. Let's just first say the fries are cooked perfectly and is mostly a perfect crunchy on the outside and a little soft on the inside. (Like the ones you try to fish out from your order of fries from anywhere). Server was friendly and great at reading the customers, didn't keep checking in for no reason but stop by when they saw the drinks were going down. If you want to just have a nice casual night out with some great food and service while sampling different freshly brewed seasonal beers. Go there. Plus it next to the AMC so it would be an excellent dinner and movie choice. read more

Short version - come for the beer and maybe the bar snacks if you must, but there are many other options in the area. The pizza was some of the worst food I've had at a sit-down restaurant in recent memory. Ambience - warm enough. High tops are the devil but the chairs weren't the most uncomfortable I've sat in. Beer - solid. I had a lager and while my mind wasn't blown, it was good. Could have been colder. Service - okay? Our server was attentive but we were brought an additional appetizer we didn't order, then had it added to our bill. Food - Woof, where to begin. I ordered a Detroit-style pizza with chicken. The sauce tasted like tomato puree with no seasonings. The chicken was horrendous - that unmistakeable fresh-out-of-a-bag pre-cooked wateriness and mealy texture. The dough was fine, aside from a weird crispy finish on the sides which was clearly baked on after the focaccia itself was, which is very strange. The cherry on top? It was barely lukewarm. My friend's, which I tried, was almost identically bad and unseasoned. The pizzas had clearly been made some time earlier and not even heated to order, which is wild. ETA: I saw another review speculating that they're serving frozen pizzas, and it hit me. The type of "crispy edge" on these absolutely reminds me of frozen Detroit-style pizzas I've had where the ""edge"" was clearly added in the way you add fake grill marks to ""grilled"" frozen chicken. Not saying that's what was happening here, but if nothing else, the fact that it reminded me so strongly of it says it all. The bar snacks were pretty good, though the cheese curds were super greasy - there was a pool of oil at the bottom of the dish. No one at our table was satisfied with their meal, and for the price I paid, I'm never coming back. Too many other options locally. read more

We recently visited to give them another try. It was some time since we ate here because we weren't impressed with the food and due to COVID. This time my hubby and I ordered their Cobb Salad and it was off 5 stars! It was a good size, had all the elements of a great Cobb salad and the dressing was perfect. I'd come back just for that! I do have to say that our server wasn't great. She spent too much time chatting with the guy behind the bar while she had people obviously waiting for service. She was not a warm person... So she was either having a bad day or needs to find a different vocation. I did up my rating from a 3 to a 4... We will be back again. read more

Been to Ike and Oak for drinks many times but never had the chance to try their food. And oh my gosh, was it worth the wait???? HECK YES IT WAS!! We got the pepperoni and pepper pizza which had juicy pepperoni, tangy banana peppers, and the best ratio of sauce and cheese!! Literally was perfectly crispy on the outside and each bite was a slice from heaven!! My friend got the barbecue chicken pizza which was also so so delicious!! The chicken was so well cooked and the sauce was perfect!! Got an amazing salad and steak and eggs and everything was BEYOND delicious!!!! Also got Moscow mule and a sangria, both of which were SUPERRRR refreshing!!! The servers were so sweet and the outdoor seating was super cute! 1000/10 experience overall!!!

We came back to Ike & Oak after probably 2 years. They have updated the patio area to be covered with optional blind type cover that can be open or closed. Very Cool. Service was good, food was decent. I wouldn't come back here for food honestly its just okay. The drinks and atmosphere is really the draw. We had the cheese curds - too greasy and the fried artichokes could have been cooked a little longer or hotter grease or something. We also had the pork tenderloin sandwich which was decent just lacking flavor. read more

Excellent. So glad to have found I&O as a change from J&J near my theater. The fruity beer I tasted (Wooly Jamba or something?) was delicious though it could have been a bit colder. I don't like beer, I like cider, but I'd drink that again. The bacon cinnamon roll was incredible; all cinnamon rolls should be required to have bacon. The pig wings were great, somehow crispy on the outside, slightly spicy yummy sauce glaze. Friend had the salmon brunch thingie and was surprised it didn't come on a bagel (though it didn't SAY bagel; you know what happens when one ASSumes.. ) but he enjoyed it very much. Also, the ranch dressing is indeed delightful. Definitely coming back to try more goodies. Very sweet darling server; I'm too forgetful to recall her name but she's a 2nd grade teacher and just great. read more

I went back recently to Ike and oak and I love the Chicken and fire roasted corn pizza. It was calling my name and it did not disappoint. I also had the pretzel with cheese which was very enjoyable but could use a little bit more cheese if you don't like honey mustard. Review from like 2 years ago: The Ike and oak pizza was too weird tasting. It was edible and cooked well. I just didn't enjoy the flavor. It has tomato sauce, cheese, jalapeño, beer mustard, some sort of salami, and honey comb. I think the worse part was the beer mustard. The crust was great so I want to try a different pizza. The burger was good and again had a lot of random things on it. The relish looked like tuna or food that someone ate and spit out. If you ignore how it looks it actually tasted good on the burger. I really liked the cheese sauce on the burger. I thought the tatortots were unnecessary. The burger was cooked how we ordered it which was great! Overall, prepared well but wasn't for me. I could see others liking it. The apple bread pudding was just ok. It was a little too crispy for my liking. The middle was good though. Again not bad but not fantastic. read more
