5 stars all day for The Oak House. I got the avocado bacon burger with Swiss cheese, fries with a side of bleu cheese dressing, and a michelada with Pacifico and everything was absolutely on point. The service was perfect as always and the price was completely worth it for the quality you get here. The food is always consistently great and the family that runs the restaurant is genuinely kind, welcoming, and helpful every single time. They recognize me when I come in and always treat me really well, which says a lot these days. Highly recommend this place for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and honestly their dinner is a hidden secret around town. They put care into every order and treat everyone with kindness and respect. This time I even stopped to pet the goats and alpaca hanging out front. One of the goats was super friendly and seemed genuinely happy to get attention which made the whole experience even better. If you've got around $20-40 and want really good food in a relaxed atmosphere, this spot is absolutely worth checking out. read more

The food is good. The service is borderline horrible. They only have one waitress she will take your order and another brings the food no problem. If she stops bye to check on you once its a miracle. If she brings a check within 15 minutes of you finishing your meal you should have bought a lottery ticket that morning. Its a shame they should have other servers. Not just the owner. read more

Haven't been to this restaurant since it was the Lamplighter back in the 80's. My wife wanted to give it a go, so we did. I thought it looked very similar to what I remember, except it had live animals outside (which was pretty neat) as far as the food and service goes: service was very friendly and quick, food came out hot. Portions, not so happy. Prices, I'm not happy at all. Overall- glad I tried it but for the prices it was underwhelming. I will say this, my wife enjoyed it and will probably go back. Me, I'm good. read more

I went to the Oak House Restaurant with family and had a pretty negative experience. I tried their chicken and waffles only to have a bland tasting meal with harder crusted dry tasting chicken on top not only that the server didn't even make sure if we needed refills. Not to sound entitled but that should be a common diner experience for your waitress/waiter to check at least a couple times. The ambiance is nice with the western vibes but I would not choose to go here if it was my choice. read more

We came early on Easter Sunday to beat the crowd. We got seated fast but only one waitress was taking orders so it took a while for our order to be taken. Food was decent. My boyfriend got the chili verde and it was way too spicy for him and he said the pork was really dry. I got regular American breakfast and it wasn't bad. The place is cute with lots of old county decor, and there are some cute animals out front read more

The last time my daughter and I came here, we had a good experience, so I decided to bring some friends there to eat . We showed up about 2:00 Which i know isn't exactly a lunch hour, but we were close by so i suggested the oakhouse. Their were absolutely no cars in the parking lot, and when we went inside it was completely empty except for the cook, hostess and waitress sitting together at one table. We immediately took some menus and seated ourselves. It's a large place and plenty of empty tables. All the people that were with me were very quite looking at their menus , When we all suddely agreed that we couldn't find what we were interested in, and we're shocked at the high prices, so we all stood up and said let's go someplace else, so we did . So to sum it all up , (1.) its not a friendly place. (2.)Their prices are too high (3.) THEY have nothing special to offer read more

Don't waste your time... literally. We waited over 30 minutes just for someone to take our order. At that point, I wasn't sure if we were at a restaurant or participating in a social experiment on patience. Food definitely wasn't worth the wait. read more

When you walk in the entrance, you can smell the animals that they have out front, chickens, goats, a llama. Doesn't smell good! We had the patty melt which was greasy, the french fries tasted like they came from a frozen bag, the pork chops were micro thin, very dry and we had the country fried steak that tasted like cardboard. We saw our waiter only once which was when we ordered our food, had no drink refill offers. When it was time to leave we wait another 10 minutes until somebody brought us our check after two requests. read more

Well, it was my first time going on a morning. The customer service was excellent. The food was fair. I got the biscuits and gravy, which I got one biscuit and gravy. I got two orders of hashbrowns with gravy on top a side of fruit and a Mickey Mouse kids meal for my son and an orange juice and I was charged $65.76 and I did leave a tip for the excellent service but the overall price was too expensive and they even did drop it a little bit read more

The menu is expansive, the food is delicious, but the service is slow even when the business is near empty.

If you are interested in the type of flavor that packs heat that could burn your soul yet with so much flavor that hits all senses, than you wont want to miss experiencing The OAK HOUSE "Chili Verde Plate. It's by far the best chili I've ever had. I've brought many friends and family to this restaurant for the food that ranges from breakfast through lunch to dinner menu choices. Delicious American & Mexican classic recipes that would definitely satisfy all. I highly recommend this restaurant. I wish I would try more foods when I visit but im sold on either the Shrimp Ala Diablo in a spicy, spicy red sauce or the Chili Verde Plate in their spicy, spicy green sauce. Why mess with perfection? Stop by soon, very inviting, excellent customer service , and warm, welcoming, and country feel, serving extremely delicious food read more

This was such a cute, quaint little gem hidden right off the main road.

This is the first time visiting this restaurant based on Instagram videos describing this place. My wife and I and friends decided to try this place.

Debby was my waitress for dinner this evening, she was smiling, pleasant and courteous. The prime rib dinner was fantastic and she checked in often to see if I needed anything. They have a great western themed ambience and absolutely great country music, I will return soon for dinner read more

Horrible service! Went there for breakfast waited for a hour and never took our order! We got up and left and the waitress never said a word she was so rude from the start, would never go back! read more

Went to the Oak House to enjoy a Sunday morning breakfast with my mother and had a wonderful experience. I'd expected to wait to be seated as it was Sunday morning but were seated immediately. The service was friendly and prompt. Mom had the Divorce eggs and I had the steak and egg breakfast. Both were excellent. I started off with a Bloody Mary that was perfectly spiced. I'd recommend the Oak House. read more

The food was really good (except for the Kraft macaroni and cheese, that was an unexpected twist). The server was prompt in the beginning, however when it was time for the check it took forever. read more

Great service & even greater breakfast! Eggs, country potatoes, french toast & pancakes were all amazing. Atmosphere was warm and welcoming! read more

Service was absolutely horrible. The waitress came to our table to take our order and that was it... she never came back to check on us, refill drinks, etc. my wife ordered parmesan cheese fries and the cheese was literally rotten. Just the smell of the cheese made my stomach curl. Would not recommend and definitely not coming back. read more

Slowest service I've ever had. Food was ok not the best and all I got was French toast. Took forever for the check and boxes. Ended up just grabbing one myself. This place is ok but not recommended read more

Didn't bother with pics. I hate making a big deal. Hair in my mom's plate not food.. Stayed quiet. Order Medium Rare steak you get well done. Vegetable side tasted the best of my 50$ plate. It's slightly expensive but for what... service okay. Local and wouldn't return. read more

I will start by saying this place was chosen by a family member and yes they do have a large Trump 2024 sign outside. Additionally, in the front they have 3 african Greys, an Eclectus parrot, chickens, and a few doves. For service, they are popular (many of the patrons sharing the values of the sign outside), they are extremely under staffed. The food came quickly and was ok, nothing amazing, but expect to wait for the check and to pay. I had to thrust the check at our server to be able to pay and going to the front to pay also resulted in a long wait as well. I totally don't blame the server, she was working hard and was the only one there to work the register and wait the tables. I'm going to talk about the birds for a moment as they are part of the reasoning for the lower score. While the parrots seem well fed, there are 3 greys in a cage that is the minimum for a single bird and I'm not expert but that and the cage being in a loud, heavily trafficked area doesn't seem to fit what is right for the needs of these birds. Additionally, the state of the doves, which I do know how to raise, really upset me. There were multiple doves in their cage and a few had others picking out their feathers to the point a few had balding areas and there was very little food in the cage. They owner really should be addressing this. All in all for me, while I found the food was just ok at least not outlandishly priced but will not go back for multiple reasons. read more

The Oak House - Ummmmm.... ok? - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Yucaipa, California

Waited a long time for our food. On the plus side, I think it was all made correctly. We had some guests never get a refill on their drink. After we got our food, we were never checked back up on. Right after we finished our food, we were told to leave. I can understand that if we were sitting around for a while but we had just finished. We never were asked for boxes to take leftovers home. The check we were given was "wrong" and we owed more money once we got up to the register. Not sure how the amount changed on the walk to the register... service was not something I want to be apart of again! read more

Came here with my family. It's a bit hidden but all good things usually are. It's an older country club type of restaurant. I loved how we were greeted by the parrots outside. There is much to look at here, from outside to in. The reason I knocked off a star was for being political and Promoting Trump. Made me feel a little out of place. With all the controversies going on my opinion is to keep politics out these joints. Our server was not the best either. She didn't check on us so we had to flag her down a few times that's why another star was knocked off. I ordered a delicious hot chocolate for the gloomy morning alongside a Chile Verde pork omlette simmered in salsa Verde. Very mouth watering! I was able to take a picture of my brothers plate. He said he enjoyed it too. Overall the food was really good so I'm tempted to give it another chance. read more

I liked this place. I liked the food. Didn't get anything off the wall, just a cheeseburger, but it was good and cooked as I requested. I went on a Sunday for lunch, no wait, service was good and attentive. It is a pretty small place with a very small parking lot so I can see how people would complain about both, but there are plenty of other good choices in Yucaipa to go to if it's busy. Overall I liked the rustic feel of it and the food. read more

Typically a great place to eat, but when you are being asked to leave so other people can come in to eat, after we paid $400 for food is super discouraging. I didn't see you asking anyone else to leave. Also we took as long as we did because food took forever to come out. So, because of your poor service we will never be going back. read more

HOMETOWN FAVORITE!! This restaurant screams small town ambiance. It is so cute and country inside. All breakfast foods are amazing. Omelettes, country potatoes, and French toast are my favorite. They grind the Coffee beans and it makes all the difference. Service is always welcoming and speedy!! As a active service member, I come here every time I'm on leave read more
