We decided to try Oak in Beacon Hill area of Seattle for dinner. We arrived about 6pm and were greeted and seated immediately inside. The restaurant was about half full when we arrived but was packed by 7pm when they have trivia game night on Monday evenings. The menu has many vegan and vegetarian options as it was originally a vegan restaurant. One of us ordered the bacon cheeseburger with vegan cheese and three ordered Banh Mi Salad, which was a dinner special. Two selected the grilled chicken as protein and one selected the grilled tofu. The burger was juicy and delicious. The salads were excellent. One of the best salads I have had, unique. The marinaded chicken was grilled perfectly. The pickled vegetables were an excellent acid complement for the salad with sesame dressing. Definitely a local favorite. Enjoyed the relaxed vibe of the restaurant. Server was very helpful in answering questions about allergies. Greatly appreciated. Highly recommended for great healthy food options, a good time and a chilled and relaxing evening! read more

I had read low reviews on this restaurant/ Bar ... BUT it didn't stop us from checking it out for ourselves .... I have to say Nicole was amazing!! Such a warm and welcoming personality and open to making sure my dish didn't have a allergen I was worried about she checked with the kitchen and made sure I knew it was safe Small details says a lot about the people that are the face of a business and she MADE OAK A WINNER to me this is truly a favorite Nostalgic experience for us to have walked in into and without setting a reservation I must add it was a worry for us because how packed it looked from the outside parties and even coming inside we thought we'd have to wait awhile to be seated The gentleman at the first front bar had told us we didn't have to wait if we were ok with and open bar sitting and having to place orders at the 2nd bar I thought first bar itself was where we could sit at, but going further into the cozy front seating area there was an even more interesting and inviting back room vibe We found a seat in the corner as again very packed But we had a gal that confirmed it was ok to pick a spot that was open When more booths became open she even came back to let us know we could move to a bigger space to sit at (loved that she came back to let us know that;) There are these Cute lil QR codes for the menu on these lil table 'blocks' and was told by the same friendly face that if we wanted to order, we'd have to come up to the bar after Looking at the menu My heart was already set on the Vegan Oak Bacon & Cheese burger with Fries ... the vegan menu options just thrilled my foodie heart and having deep fried pickles was a core memory that I'll always compare everyone else's to Oak's delicious dish (kind of wish I ordered that to go lol ;) For it to be our first time my man and Self have been vegans over decade now We both look forward to coming back! Especially to try out the Vegan Brunch options, so Both of us are born and raised in Seattle and witnessed so many changes happening in this neighborhood alone from people coming all over to create a home in our homestate and home city ... This brought back happy memories and now additional moments to join in and find a source of peace and happiness along with a great meal and staff Thank you so much Nicole ... Not sure about the other reviews or what may have been the issues there, But I wanted to make a point and my willingness to support local businesses that hire great people it truly makes a business long lasting and ... we both ... hope to see Nicole again --OAK FANS read more

Oak - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Came in at 12:40, didn't get our food until 2pm. Unfortunately, not an exaggeration since everyone in our party commented on it and checked the time. They apologized a few times but that was about it, the restaurant wasn't super busy/crowded since 50% of tables were empty (maybe they had a huge catering event or lots of takeout orders?). Food wise, wasn't super impressed either- not to warrant waiting that long. Ordered the vegan biscuit (hard) and smothered it in jam and vegan butter, sausage (super salty), sautéd kale (bland) and whipped coffee (good and super sweet). Maybe my experience would have been better if I had gotten what I wanted originally- the French toast but they were out. Partner got the poutine and that was salty but overall nice. read more

Tried out Oak. You could say I went in with high expectations. I shouldn't have. It's a cute little spot. A row of quaint eateries. We sat near the window so lighting was good. It was a lil tight but not bad. Make sure you come here with people you like since you gotta sit close. lol. Our servers were all very nice so that a plus in my books. I ordered some fries as an appetizer and my friend ordered the Brussels. Both were very mid. I then ordered the bacon cheeseburger with mushrooms and pepperjack on a gluten free bun. That was mid as well. It was good but I wanted OMG YUMM!! I could've bought this at 5 guys. It would be amazing if they incorporated some exotic burger toppers. It was a positive experience just not one that would bring me back. Thanks for the great night with friends. read more

Food was yummy!!! Overpriced American food but it's hard to find good vegan food so I get it. Ambiance was cool. Service was horrible. Wasn't busy when we first got there yet it took extremely long to get everything. Server was also rude. Treated us like she didn't want us to be there. Another party even left because they took so long to initially take their order. It's a shame because I feel like it's hard to find good vegan restaurants. Wouldn't recommend or go back. read more

We had a really large group so it was a bit hard to get seated but we ended up being split between 2 picnic tables outside. I was really feeling a burger so I got the minimum wage burger, and I feel like calling it that might be making some sort of statement that's going right over my head but over $20 felt like a looooot to pay for a burger and fries to me. Also split some sweet creamed corn nuggets which were good but I feel like it could have been even creamier with a richer flavor. read more

Reservation for a party of 12. Rustic, cozy little place around the corner from our AirBnB. Fellow diners had:chimichuri chicken sandwich, grilled cheese plus sandwich, lots of burgers, a chicken wrap. Everyone seemed very pleased with their meals. Another diner & I ordered the chicken pot pie. By definition there is pastry, chicken, veggies & a SAUCE/GRAVY. The phyllo pastry top was great, veggies were ok. However, where's the sauce/gravy? There wasn't any. Tasted like mashed potato mixed with thyme flavored chicken. Plenty of tasty chicken. But the lack of sauce. My husband ordered a burger said, "it looks dry where's the sauce?" My fellow diner had said the same. Why 4 stars? The cocktail was good, everyone else really liked their meals. The giant chocolate chip cookie served to our recent college grad was warmed with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. If you pass on the chicken pot pie, you will be fine. read more

The burgers are always good and the vegetarian options are tasty too. The staff is always friendly too.

Went with a group of 6 people for celebratory dinner. The food was good, drinks were fine. Service really was bad. The waiters were not very kind or attentive. We waited a LONG time for everything, unfortunately would say wouldn't be back. There are better options for the price read more

Friendly staff. Consistent quality. Love the minimum wage burger and the kale caesar with fried chicken. Excellent spot.

Glad we got around to trying them out! We came on a Sunday early dinner. The bar was packed. The dining room wasn't yet we seated right away. Our server seemed a little occupied, but she was very friendly and knowledgeable. They offer vegan vegetarian and all of the above. I am vegan and we tried: Vegans pot pie 5/5 Kale fried chicken salad 5/5 Vegan Fish sandwich 5/5 Peanut butter, chocolate custard 5/5 Apple bourbon pie 4/5 So as you can see, we were very happy and pleased with all of our food. As for the ambience, I will say it is very casual. Kind of makes me think of a tavern. Dark. Lots of fun decor, lots of PNW vibes. The bathrooms could use improvements, but.. yeah I guess that's vegan casual dining?!? read more

Oak was a pleasant surprise. We live in the area and have passed by the restaurant so many times, but finally decided to stop in for dinner. The food was great. We shared the creamed sweet corn nuggets, curried chickpeas, and spicy fried chicken kale Caesar salad. Everything was flavorful. My fiancée is from the south and hasn't had corn nuggets in years. She said these brought her back to the ones her grandmother would make when she was a kid! The chicken on the salad was crispy and tender. The chimichurri on the chickpeas balanced the curry flavor nicely. The portions were shareable, especially the salad which was LARGE! Service was fantastic. Our waitress was super sweet and attentive, but not in an overwhelming way. Overall we had a great experience at Oak and will return to try more items on the menu. read more

Cute homey inside seating area! Some tables are pretty close together, but overall easy to grab a table with some friends. Chicken dinner: the fried chicken was perfectly crispy and tender! Super good boneless fried chicken. However, this would have been even better with some sauce! I tried my friend's mushroom gravy and that would have been perfect for this. Although, there was honey that came on the dish. But I do like me some gravy!! Cornbread had a savory addition like green chile or something in the batter? Came with butter and honey, but was a bit dry in the middle. Green beans were tasty, but a little floppy on some parts. I like their fried chicken, so I might try their sandwich next time! read more

Oak - Oak chicken dinner - Burgers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Oak is a really cute neighborhood pub/dive-y restaurant with typical pub-fares (burgers, pretzel bites, fried veggies). The staff was friendly, but seemed understaffed. The food was okay, which is the readon for my 3-star rating. Our table had some appetizers (fried green beans and brussel sprouts), and burgers. The brussel sprouts had good flavors and high potential, but lots of loose leaves that were deep fried to oblivion. The beans were...fine and the batter held onto the beans which is impressive, but lacking in flavor. The burgers were fine- the bottom bun was a soggy mess for all three of us, and it was a generously portioned plate, but the flavors weren't all that memorable. The best way for me to describe the food is "filling but not satisfying", which is not how we like to eat out. I think it's a perfectly fine place for a meet up with friends or family outing where you might care more about being in a cozy environment to spend time with the people you care about- the type of gathering where you might not necessarily notice or care about exactly how your burger was cooked. read more

You haven't seen a chicken sandwich till you've seen Oaks chicken sandwich. I ordered a burger which was really good but the envy I felt when they served my partner her chicken sandwich- it echoes into eternity. TWO chicken thighs! What?! The service was great but that chicken sandwich is nuts. I wish I took a picture I mean they're on the Yelp page but ya gotta see it in person! read more

I started with an old fashioned that really hit the spot. Oak is a nice, casual American food spot. I got the chicken pot pie and the Brussel sprouts and was happy with them. We also got the cupcake and bourbon apple crumble. I much preferred the bourbon apple crumble. Service was good and the restaurant was decorated with autumnal things. read more

Bit of a hidden gem here. Oak has both Vegan and non-Vegan items to appease just about everyone. Ambiance is a half bar, half casual dining establishment and it was relatively busy for a Sunday night. The good: -Staff was very friendly and helpful. -Vegan pot pie was very delish. Would definitely recommend (5/5) -Vegan fish sandwich was also really tasty (5/5) -Desserts peanut butter custard and apple bourbon pie was were good, but not amazing (3.5/5) The not so good: -Service was a bit on the slow side. Would definitely come back! read more

A fried chicken kale Caesar salad worth risking food poisoning for - HEAR ME OUT I came to Oak with no expectations, and decided on the fried chicken Caesar salad (spicy) after perusing the menu several times. "Spicy?" YES. The delicious monstrosity that came out was a worthy foe (but we were on that "enemies to lovers" track) - heaps of kale, dressed to perfection, with swaths of grated Parmesan, topped with the loveliest looking protein I've ever seen on a salad. What I *WAS NOT* expecting, was how amazing the chicken itself, was - the "spicy" chicken is decidedly Nashville hot chicken-esque, and had the perfect balance of heat and flavor. I also don't generally get excited about kale, but it just...worked? ANYWAY; back to the point - I couldn't finish nearly half of the salad before I had to take a pause, and asked for a to-go container. After taking a lengthy walk to reevaluate my life decisions, AND a drive home, it had passed the sacred "2-hour mark", which is something I generally treat as gospel. I have had food poisoning exactly ONE time in my entire life, and VOWED never to take that chance again. Until today. well done. read more

BEST BURGER 2025.... No lie hands down this burger was so delicious and fries as well. It hit the spot. Would definitely go back just for the burger.

Came here on a weeknight for dinner and it was a solid experience. We asked to sit outside, and they turned on the heat lamps for us, which were pretty effective at keeping us warm. We split the vegan chicken caesar salad, the minimum wage burger with caramelized onions (add on) and fries. The food came out promptly, and it was all very tasty. I'm not normally someone who eats vegan food, but I was impressed with the texture and seasoning of the vegan fried chicken and the salad was well dressed. The burger was solid and the caramelized onions were delicious. Fries were all crispy, as they should be. Service was warm and prompt, even with us being the only people outside. read more

Good bacon cheese burger and fried chicken Cesar salad. Their Cesar dressing is made w cashews so it taste creamy. Portions are huge. I'm guessing they used coconut cream for their corn chowder, it tastes good but similar to a curry taste than chowder though. read more

Been here twice, once a year ago and again just recently.... They might as well call this place joke instead of oak (you're welcome for the bad dad joke! ) There was only one other table of guests at the time of our visit and the staff seemed bothered by our presence. We ordered the Brussels and there were about 10 half pieces on the plate... that equals 5 Brussels sprouts, lol 3 for each of us. The roasted beet salad came with 3 whole garbanzos and a pinch of feta. The rest of our food was fine but not great. The burger was fine but needed sauce and like other reviews had a soggy bottom bun, how do you make a burger that's both soggy and dry?? The bathroom only offers 4inches of paper towel per auto wave and the salt and pepper shakers don't shake out any spice, lol more jokes we wanna like it here but def won't come back. read more

Cozy back bar one of few places serving drinks late in Beacon Hill. Local crowd. Food solid. Always a nice place to relax after a ballgame or a work event. Great rotation of movies on the TVs. Very relaxed casual vibe. read more

Cute spot I learned of from a friend who's vegan, so we met up here for brunch. We had a reservation but it didn't seem necessary. That may have been luck as the tables were filling up pretty quickly by the time we were leaving this small establishment. Outdoor seating as well for nicer mornings than the one we arrived on. I love that they have a separate vegan menu! I ordered the Vegan Acorn Benny (Oak's house biscuit, vegan tofu bacon, topped with house vegan hollandaise, and sunny style Yo-Egg) and chose sauteed kale as my side. The house biscuit was a little dry and dense for my liking, but it got the job done. I came home with half my plate which I enjoyed later. The brekkie poutine (both vegan and non) looked pretty indulgent and tasty. I don't remember what other dishes were ordered, but I think everyone was satisfied. The whipped coffee was also delightful. Lots of breakfast cocktails and other things to choose from. I'd definitely come back here again. Their lounge looks especially cozy and inviting. read more

My brother found this place through reviews and wanted a place to go with vegans and non vegans. So many tasty options including specials. On the tables they have all the condiments. There is an indoor and outdoor seating area. Don't forget about the cocktails. They also make a delicious in house sauce. Recommend for tasty foods! read more

Fried kale salad. I've had it like 10+ times. So fire. Big plate. Chill vibes. Sports. Dim. Servers and staff are the best !

such a cute little spot! the bar area in the back is so cozy especially when it's chilly out! nicole, the bartender is so personable + provided such a welcoming environment and excellent service. zoe always made sure our waters were full and was a pleasure to interact with. the food is good quality american style food with great vegan/vegetarian options. the only reason i took a star off is one of the servers, christina was hostile towards myself and the folks in my party. she was short with us and honestly rude. other than that, i've had great experiences at oak! read more

*vegan review* SO MANY GREAT VEGAN OPTIONS HERE, you can't go wrong. This is a great place to bring a group because there will be something to make everyone happy, vegan/non vegan/gluten free/etc. My favorites have been the vegan pot pie and the vegan chimichurri chicken sandwich. Try to save room for dessert because they're all epic (and all vegan), especially the apple crumble with vegan vanilla ice cream I eventually want to check out their weekend brunch and Monday night trivia! read more

Packed on a Monday night so we were seated at the bar first before a table opened up. The food here is just okay: the chicken pot pie was alright, but the sliders and burgers were not good. The vibes are warm and cozy though. Not the vibe for dinner but maybe share a small plate. read more

If we could do half stars, I would rate Oak 3.5. But it's on the low side of 3.5, so I give it a 3. We really wanted to like this place more: they offer vegan brunch. And on the plus side, the space is great and the service is friendly and prompt. However, the food is just average at best. I did the Just Egg scramble, the biscuits, the tofu bacon, and the kale. The kale was wonderful. The scramble was OK. The tofu bacon was just ... odd -- a block of tofu with some liquid smoke as far as I can tell. And the biscuits ... well, just rock hard. Reminded me of hard tack. The other thing is that the music is just too loud. Full stop. We had to almost yell at each other in order to be heard from opposite sides of the table. Not really what you want in a brunch setting. It may work for Friday and Saturday nights, but for a late Sunday morning where friends are catching up, not so much. Again, just wanted to like this place more since they have vegan options. We get together with friends once a month for vegan brunch; we have our regular spots, and always seek out places where we haven't been before. I truly thought we'd add this to our regular rotation, but sadly none of us are jamming to go back any time soon. If we lived in Beacon Hill I definitely could see coming here often, but it's not worth going out of your way to visit unless you happen to be in the neighborhood. read more

I was very excited to try this place but alas it didn't live up to the expectations. I ordered the vegan mushroom scramble with hash browns. The hash brown was nice, thin and crispy but the scramble was very salty. It was mostly from the vegan feta that had excessive salt. The vegan butter too sweet. I also got the vegan poutine with mushroom gravy. Again very very very salty. The service was prompt and attentive. Ambiance is cozy and looks like they serve to folks who live in the neighborhood. read more

Came here for another late night dinner and we were happy it turned out to be a great blind pick. The Oak Bacon Cheeseburger and the Poblano Burgers were excellent, but the buns left them on the dry side. I would have liked some more sauce or salsa to add. The apple crumble and cupcake was delicious! It's the first excellent "famous household cupcake" dupe I've tasted and highly recommend tasting it for yourself. read more

I've come here so many times because my friend and I are vegan--and this place never disappoints! My favorite dish is the vegan grilled cheese with the soup of the week (this time it was lentil). The cheese was an excellent consistency and the lentil soup was packed with a ton of flavor. It wasn't too thick or too thin like other soups can be. My friend loved the vegan chicken pot pie she ordered, and another friend practically inhaled the vegan tofu sandwich with chimichurri sauce. Even if you're only getting drinks, the cocktails are well done; I was happy with one called the food forest. This place will definitely be seeing me again! read more

Great food! They have good gluten free options for me and my boyfriend loves the apple crisp! Nice outdoor seating too, room to lock up bikes read more

What a great little find. I really should visit Beacon Hill more often. My friends still wanted food after dinner so we went here for a nightcap I guess haha. We sat at the bar and everyone we interacted with was great. I noticed the menu had a lot of vegan options which was nice. We ordered some fries and corn nugget. We sat around and finish up our convo before leaving but we're definitely coming back to visit this place for a proper meal. It was very loud and busy in here but it had a great vibe to it. Seems like a lot of people from the neighborhood. read more

Update: still amazing. YOU MUST TRY THEIR CHOCOLATE CUPCAKE. It's like a hostess cupcake on steroids - not nearly as sweet as hostess, somewhere between the sweet level of a Japanese chocolate cake and an American one. It's light and tasty.
