Friendly service and amazingly wonderful breakfast. I had a bourbon chicken skillet and my spouse had a western omelet, both of which came with two pancakes. Without a doubt we will not be hungry again until dinnertime. read more

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

Oak Diner - Pancakes and western omelet (no cheese) - Diners Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

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

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

Oak Diner - Diners Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
