Large portions of food, great service, and very wide open area to eat. There's a separate room for larger groups. Are you drinking coffee? You automatically get a pot of coffee at your table without even asking for one. The English muffin and side of ham was not on the menu. Always ask the server if they offer any sides. Bonus: Pay via a QR code at your table via the Local by Toast app. Convenient! read more

Met a former colleague for lunch. Both of us ordered the chicken dumpling soup. The soup was flavorful. The waitstaff was friendly and efficient. The environment was warm and welcoming. read more

Food, service was all great! Short wait time when we ordered our food and when it came to our table.

Hidden in a back street strip mall, the only thing I didn't like about this place was trying to find it! From reading some of the other reviews on Yelp I noticed that the Oak Street Cafe has been around for a while... I found this hard to believe because the place was so clean it actually looked like they opened recently. Very impressive! Service and food were excellent and it came out pretty quick. All around great experience. read more

Oak Street Cafe - Meat Skillet with Sourdough Toast - Cafes Near Me - De Pere, Wisconsin

Great breakfast and lunch place. Mostly breakfast. I believe the bread is homemade there. Service is good. The same crew has been there for a while and know what they are doing. The cafe is clean and well maintained. They are only open 7:00 am - 1:00 pm. The sign outside says it opens at 5:00 am. read more

The food was made the way I asked, they were busy it's New Year's Eve brunch. Can't expect the server to come back and ask you if you need anything else. Normally a server would come back and ask how was the food or do you need anything. Our server didn't even bring us our dishes and I never saw him after taking our order. The restaurant looked clean. I would come back because they were fast and food was made the way I asked. read more

Super cute hidden little restaurant. The food was delicious, staff was prompt and friendly. Very clean and nice atmosphere. I had the eggs Benedict which was cooked to perfection. My husband had the big oak. Pancake was nice and fluffy, plate size big. We ate till we couldn't eat another bite. Left full and happy. Would highly recommend and stop again when in the area! read more

I have a good feeling about this place. Ordered pickup during Covid times, they were still open for indoor seating and staff was wearing masks. Good vibe all around. Server that took my order, rang me up, and handed me my food was delightful. Has a nice old school diner vibe and small counter where there was a regular chatting it up with said server. Prices were fair. The bacon and cheese omelette I ordered was great. Came with a decorative and ripe orange slice, homemade jam, sourdough, and hash browns. This breakfast is a litmus test for me in finding a proper breakfast spot, and they certainly delivered. See you next time! read more

Oak Street Cafe - Bacon Cheese omelette - very good! - Cafes Near Me - De Pere, Wisconsin

Oak Street Cafe is the exemplar northeastern Wisconsin breakfast place. It's in a bit of an odd location but once you find it, you'll be well rewarded. The menu is straightforward with typical American breakfast food, and portions are big. If you like pancakes, one is enough- they are that big! During the week you can also get lunch if you get there around noon. Service is typically pretty quick, although they can get busy on Sundays. The prices are still decent, and you can get a nice sit down breakfast for less than a trip to McDonald's. My only issue is that they don't serve Coke products. read more

Breakfast and lunch are good at Oakstreet. One of my top picks. What else is there to know? Food great, service is friendly and ambiance is like family like. read more

Today I had a Denver omelette and my wife had eggs and hashbrowns. Everything was delicious as always. We love this place. It will keep coming back. read more

We like to check out local restaurants when we vacation. This was the best meal we have had so far this week! Very friendly. Clean and cute. And fabulous meals. read more

Great place for one or a larger group. I like to bike (pedal) and sit at the breakfast bar. Service has always been quick and correct. They have a kids menu love taking my granddaughter here. Definitely recommend for basic breakfast and coffee. read more

Very interesting place to eat at. I felt like I was sent back in time to a little family restaurant in a small home town. Needless to say, the place's atmosphere was not bad if you like being around people at minimum twice your age. The food though was honestly great for the price which surprised me given the clientele. If you like the small town feel and great service, make sure you have your full party cause they won't seat you without them. read more

It is very close to home. It is very handicapped accessible. Their food is wonderful, from the hubcap sized pancakes to the best chicken dumpling soup in Brown County. They always have service with a smile. Just a warm atmosphere. Their coffee is pretty awesome too. read more

I love eating here, it's a good experience every time. The service is good and the staff is very friendly. The food is always delicious and arrives quickly. I love the omelettes - the egg is perfectly thin and stuffed with ham and cheese. Most of the portions are more than generous. This is a small cafe and the customers are mostly older. There's only a few parking spots in front, however there is a parking lot across the street that always has room. If you want hot sauce you should specify that you're looking for Tabasco sauce.. otherwise they bring you buffalo sauce. read more

Nice place, breakfast & lunch spot. Its in a commercial business park type area; so for me coming from out of town; I would have never found it without Yelp. Some of the other comments referred to it as a "greasy spoon". I've been to plenty of dive diners that earn that moniker but Oak Street is a cut above that. I had one of the skillet breakfasts, plenty of food, well presented & prepared. They get bonus points in my book for having pepper shakers that actually dispense pepper without resorting to unscrewing the lid. All in all I had a good breakfast & coffee. They don't gouge you on the bill for the coffee either, a nice touch. read more

Came into town to see my beloved Packers beat the New Orleans Who-Dats, and the following morning decided to come here for breakfast. EXCELLENT! I had the WORKS omelet and it was absolutely tasty. The coffee was really good, too. Can't wait to visit the area and this great cafe again in the near future!! read more

This place wasn't my favorite breakfast place. The food was average to me and hash browns were not crisp. The plates they use were super hot and don't think they should used as hot plates. I think It's nice and big in the inside. Staff was nice. The pancakes are big. The portions are big. I did like they had flavored coffee. Today was Highlander grogg. Coffee and pancakes were good. Prices are spot on. read more

Food is always great, low prices, fabulous service! Go here regularly, never disappointEd.

Hubby and I went over here while we were waiting for laundry at the laundromat. We pulled up, walked in and were seated right away. Waitress approached us immediately and asked if we wanted coffee, drinks etc. She gave a us a high recommendation on the eggs benedict. So I went with the breakfast sandwich with scrambled eggs, cheese and bacon on the side with hash browns. If you like crispy hashies, always ask for them to make them crispy. :) They were amazing! Hubby went with the eggs benedict based on the waitress suggestion. She was so right!! The hollandaise sauce was also amazing! I did love the fact that they have alot of varieties of flavored coffee creamers at the table. YUMM!! It was a great experience and we look forward to going back sometime! read more

I drove in from Chicago for work and had breakfast here. This is not a pseudo breakfast place like IHOP or Perkins. The eggs were good over medium, toast with real butter and the thick cut bacon was cooked perfectly. The coffee was exactly what i was looking for. A perfect cup of black coffee. I spoke to the owner Keith about the coffee and he went into great detail about their grindmaster brewer/grinder and how it is maintained/functions. This is likely why the coffee is so good. (I'm a very parsnickety person who has roasted his own coffee for years) I would recommend this place to anyone for breakfast or coffee. I haven't tried the rest of the menu, but they also have good looking dishes for lunch. I also want to add after reading some other reviews. The restaurant was packed when I went on a Saturday. The service was immediate and the food came out in minutes. I'm not sure what restaurant the other reviewers went to, I had a perfect experience! read more

Oak Street Cafe - Go here for a real breakfast and coffee! - Cafes Near Me - De Pere, Wisconsin

The Oak Street Cafe is not a place that I think my wife and I would have found on our own without looking for a new place to try on Yelp. It is one street away from "the main drag" and nestled in a building that looks to be more suited for small businesses and offices instead of a cafe. We went in and found a table pretty easily having just beat the lunchtime crowd on the day we went. I settled on the Three Meat Omelette (bacon, ham, sausage and cheese) and my wife selected the Chicken Salad Wrap with a side of onion rings. The kitchen didn't take long at all to bring our food out to us. The omelette was full of meaty goodness with just the right amount of cheese added in to keep everything gooey and warm. My wife's wrap was so good, she asked our server if they sold the chicken salad by the quart (which they don't, unfortunately). The atmosphere is that of a diner with light conversations taking place across the open dining room. It was easy enough for the two of us to have our own conversation without there being too much noise from adjoining tables making it difficult to hear each other. Definitely a place I will be returning to again! read more

I've been going here for years. The restaurant is clean and the decor is wonderful. The staff is wonderful, friendly, and always has our order the exact way we like it. The owners are great people and take pride in what they do. You can't beat the food or the prices! Try their chicken dumpling soup!! read more

This restaurant is quite literally the definition of a hidden gem. It's on a side street in a little strip mall behind Dunkin Donuts and Sidekicks. Don't let that worry you, it is a very open restaurant. My wife and I sat at the counter and they had our favorite flavored coffee (Highlander Grogg), so we both got cups of that. Altogether, brunch for the two of us came to about $20, which is not bad and the food was excellent. My wife had pancakes and she was not able to finish them because of how large they were. I had Corned Beef Hash and Eggs, and they make their own bread, so I opted for the cinnamon toast. Quite delicious. read more

Average food, average service average pricing. In a good way. A most basic diner with quality food. Ordered the Salmon Benedict. It was good. read more

Four stars may be a little generous, I would say it was a solid 3.5. We came in on a Sunday after church and surprisingly were able to be seated right away. The service was fast and the food came out quickly. It seemed to be staffed by high school kids almost entirely from the wait staff to the cashier to the bussers, and they were pretty efficient overall. Everything was very standard diner breakfast fare--nothing really memorable except for the little hand filled containers of raspberry jam. It tasted like it was freshly made, not the generic Smuckers stuff. I wouldn't be opposed to eating here again, but nothing was so great that I would add it to my go-to list. read more

Oak Street Cafe - Cafes Near Me - De Pere, Wisconsin

As far as breakfast spots go if you like cheap and quick food this is the place for you. I agree with some of the other reviews the inside reminds me of a cafeteria at an retirement community. That worked well though for this visit as I was eating breakfast with my grandpa. They do the staples well. I love their thick toast with the jam they served. I got strawberry jam and sorta wish I had the blackberry like others at my table. The veggie omelette I ordered was well made. It would have been even better without the cheese on top. It was filled with diced veggies and had good flavor. The hash browns were a little bit of a let down though. Mine were cooked but had no color on them at all. I wish they were done a tad bit more with some crisp to them. Besides that I was a little upset they only offer juice, soda and coffee. No other hot drinks to order so I had to stick with orange juice which came in an extremely small glass. Overall the food quality is good for a fast Sunday diner. I will come back. read more

We stopped in here for a late breakfast and left disappointed. The place is older and is a stereotypical "greasy spoon," which we were ok with - this is where you usually get the best food. However, all of the food was just alright and my son didn't even finish his eggs benedict, which is unheard of. Everything seemed to lack flavor, the bacon was a weird cut/consistency and was chewy, and the toast was under toasted. It served the purpose in that we didn't starve before our next meal but we won't be going back and I would recommend finding another local café to try out if you're in the area. read more

I've been to Oak Street many of time's. Lot's of room for a gathering and also they have a gathering room to have meeting's. The only thing I order is the eggs Benedict and toast. The wait staff is prompt and very fast service. They do have a good breakfast crowd which can be busy on weekends. But I recommend going here and trying their food! It's delicious and hot food. read more

This is a cute little place with delicious coffee. We tried the flavored, decaf and regular. It was all good. The portions are generous. My husband tried the homemade cinnamon toast and said it was excellent - nice thick pieces. Staff was prompt and attentive. We would definitely go back. read more

Breakfast is my favorite meal to eat out (except drinks. Yes, drinks are a meal) so when I'm near a diner I have to stop and get breakfast. The food was good, but the service wasn't great. The place was fairly busy for a week day and I was working, but the server didn't check in often enough. I had to waive someone down for more coffee. I was in the area for work, it was about -25 degrees (I'm not exaggerating, it was literally -25 degrees) and the parking at Oak Street Café meant walking further than I'd like to in that weather. Looks like there are maybe 5 parking spots in the parking lot, unless there's another lot in the back that I couldn't see. Breakfast diner food isn't hard to pull off, location/parking, and service are. If even the service would improve I'd go back to Oak Street when I'm in town again. read more

Oak Street Cafe did something that breakfast places can rarely do.....they stuffed me so full of food that I wasn't even able to finish! I'm a big dude, so I jumped into the Big Oak....and with a couple sausages, a couple thick cut slices of bacon, about 6 pounds of hash browns and a huge pancake....I was 5 pounds heavier after I left. Sausage and Bacon were great, hash browns could have been a little crispier, eggs were a bit runny, but the pancake was ginormous, so I was able to look past the minor issue about the eggs. Service was good, price was right, and food was delicious, what more could you ask for? read more

First impression was of a retirement home cafeteria. The dining area was spacious and open, populated mainly by gray hairs. You seat yourself, and a server quickly arrives to give you a pot of fairly decent coffee. Service is polite enough, though we never really felt welcomed. Food came out quickly, though, and was standard breakfast fare, prepared well. Overall it was a solid place to grab a bite and I'd likely return, but I think if you're not a local it's a different experience. read more

We came to the area today and found this cafe' for curbside breakfast. Quick service, nice portions, and very flavorful food... We will definitely be back! Loved the Big Oak breakfast platter... read more

First visit was great. If you're really hungry order the Big Oak. 3 eggs, half a plate of hash browns, thick cut bacon, 2 sausage links, 4 thick slices of toast, and 1 sausage patty. All for $8.49. Coffee was very good. Service prompt too. We'll be back. read more

O. M. G. They have amazing food! I have gone here for about maybe 10 times but they have amazing chocolate pancakes!!! Totally recommend this place if you are a MASSIVE morning or breakfast person! They have awesome omelets, and awesome service! They are so nice! Love it. read more

Very disappointed. Was looking forward to a good breakfast, wasn't busy, was seated quickly and that's where things went downhill. Waited 20 minutes while trying to make eye contact with anyone, including the manager but they were all busy chatting with each other. We walked out and weren't even noticed then Too bad. read more
