    Bbq and regular wings. Very bland
    Kaukeb Y.

    It's sad to say but the food here is not as enjoyable anymore. We came here for a celebration and we were disappointed to say the least. We did learn that the management changed and they assured us that the recipes were still the same, but you can take it in their food that it is most definitely not. This use to be a go to place when trying to find something to eat without guessing if it was good or not, but we will not be coming back. They also raised their prices and the price doesn't match the flavor unfortunately.

    Veggie cauliflower crust pizza
    Jennifer N.

    Based on rave reviews, oh how I wanted to love Oakley Tavern as much as others do. First off, to call this restaurant a "tavern" is a bit of a stretch. It's an extremely bright white space with little to no ambiance. Rather, it's pretty sterile looking. The space is functional but don't expect a tavern if you go. Arrived on a Friday night and saw the place was packed. There were two large tables with at least 15 people at each which should have been a sign to come back another time. All the attention of the staff was focused on these two parties. It seemed chaotic at first-no one greeted us and it wasn't clear if you ordered at the counter, seat yourself or wait for a table. We waited a few minutes and then asked a server what to do. She said we could grab a table and she'd bring us menus. That took quite a while but once we got menus and someone to take our order, we settled in and took note that the servers, while harried, were quite nice. Menu is a mix of kabob plates, wraps, salads and wood fired pizzas. A veggie wrap would be a nice option but is not. Might be a nice menu add. I got a veggie pizza on cauliflower crust. Food took quite a while, which we expected on such a busy night but when it finally did arrive, mine came out wrong. They were very kind about it and went to correct it but the wait then doubled. My boyfriend really enjoyed his wrap and waffle fries, while I sat there completely hangry. When mine did arrive back correctly, I will say it was excellent. Nicely flavored sauce, crisp crust and generous on the veggies. We had lots of leftovers. Let's face it, there's not a ton of options out here in East County, so we're always looking to expand our list of go-to restaurants. I really wanted to love Oakley Tavern more. It was good, not great. I would like to come back on a less busy night and see if it's a better experience. People love this place, so maybe it was an off night....

    Soup
    Hila P.

    This was our first time here and we decided to give them a try. We ordered three items to share. None of these were amazing. Pizza crust tasted like it was made of frozen dough. Very disappointing, considering Skips is down the street. The soup, seemed to be very popular with other patrons, I found to be very bland. It simply tasted as if something was missing. The wrap was better. It was fresh but did not have any Mediterranean glare to it. It was simply a broiled chicken wrap. Not likely we'll be returning.

    Fish & Chips
    Tracy S.

    Super cute place, very clean! Wonderful flavor in the vegetable house soup. It's loaded with chunks of potato and veggies.. Very nice staff as well. We enjoyed the Fish & Chips, the Chicken Tikka Kabob with side salad for lunch. The servings are large.

    Thought I was going to enjoy my burger  Then I saw this burnt burger I'm so disappointed normally the food is amazing but not today

    Got a burger and it was burnt So disappointed in this place as I was excited for dinner then I get this a burnt burger

    waffle fries
    Kathy C.

    So glad we tried Oakley Tavern! We had the combo kabob wrap, the chopped cheese and the chicken tikka masala. They all came with fries. The service was good, drinks were refilled and food came out quick. The side salad my husband got was huge and the ranch tasted homemade. It's a really good mixture of Mediterranean and American food. You don't usually see a chopped cheese on the menu, so my hubby got it. It's basically a chopped up hamburger and they mix it with onions, he added mushrooms and bacon. My daughter raved about the chicken Tikka and my kabob wrap was delicious. So glad we came and we will be back for sure!

    Beef wrap, waffle fries
    Gina H.

    Still one of favorite places to eat! Staff super nice and friendly. Anything you order you can't go wrong with, everything is delicious! My go to is the meat lovers pizza with no cheese, it is by far the best meat pizza I've ever had! Restaurant is always clean with fresh food!

    Salad with Bleu cheese dressing! So fresh and delicious
    Anna A.

    First time here and what a gem! Food and service is excellent!! Excited to come back and try mote dishes but i kind of fell in love with my dish!! My daughter lover her pizza and fries too! She said 10/10, better than pizza planet! 5 stars!!

    The chopped cheeseburger with fries
    Raymon L.

    Definitely a hidden gem in Oakley. First, I wanna talk about how hospitable and amazing the owners are. They always take care of me and my family when we're over and they definitely do not skimp out on the portions. Their food is always prepared to my liking and I I can't really complain about anything. Recently, I ordered the chopped cheeseburger and I was able to substitute a couple of the ingredients without a problem. The pizza has a nice crunch to it and we always order more than one. The wings and the beer that they provided were just a perfect combination. They have beer on tap, along with some wine. The place is very clean and the bathrooms are checked on regularly. The location is a couple blocks down from City Hall, so please don't miss your chance to take your family to a great place to eat. With a lot of unique and familiar choices, they will always have a repeat customer here.

    EXCELLENT customer service. We were visiting the Antioch area and our friends recommended this dog friendly spot. We sat outside under the shade by the door. The owner, without us even having to ask, brought an umbrella to our table. He went over the entire menu with us. Staff was friendly and attentive. My husband is picky but he was impressed with the Chopped Cheese Burger.

    Once again they never let you down!!! I started eating the Ceaser Salad before I could get a picture! Hubby did the same with the house salad... a Laguanita and Spiked Lemonade to quench the hot day! Nice and clean- bright inside and always quick and very polite service!!! Love the staff and food! The tavern is the place to relax and enjoy a meal and cool drink No matter the day or weather! Don't forget to try the Chicken Tika meal and their soup

    Ask the Community - Oakley Tavern

    Do you offer halal options?

    No I’m sorry we don’t.

    I love your food, especially the gyro. I don't need the drink or fries. Can I order a gyro by its self?

    I do believe so. Not sure though.

    Website (url missing)?

    They do not have a website yet.

    Is there a kids menu?

    Yes there is!

    What are their gluten free options?

    How do we know that this place serves halal food? I saw that the chicken isn't, how did we confirm the beef and lamb? And is it only certain cuts?

    Haven't eaten here in a while, so when my friend wanted to go out for dinner, I suggested this…read moreplace. My all-time favorite remains the Pescatora pasta. It seemed a little less salty and flavorful than I remembered, but it's still my go-to dish whenever I visit. The Fuji Apple Salad looked really good too, so I'll probably give that a try next time. Service was excellent throughout our visit, and there was plenty of parking available, which made the experience even more convenient. Overall, it was a great dinner, and I'm looking forward to coming back again.

    The good news first, when I walked in this time, that awful sewage smell from my last visit was…read moregone. Huge improvement there. I was honestly hoping management might have addressed my previous review since we've been longtime regulars, but I never heard a word. I do think it matters when management acknowledges loyal customers, but maybe that's just me. This visit was definitely better. We had a much better waiter, service felt smoother, and my dinner was actually delicious. It reminded me of all the reasons we used to come here once or twice a week. That said, something still feels like it's missing. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's just not quite the same as it used to be. This used to be our go-to spot without question, and now it's become more of an every-few-months kind of place. They're close. Very close. I keep hoping they'll recapture the magic they once had, because I really do miss it. I'm rooting for them, but they're not quite there yet.
