A dive restaurant with limited seating. The restaurant is really more of a bar than a restaurant, but the food is good. The food is house made. We tried the pizza and wings and were not disappointed. More

The waitress was not friendly nor did she serve me with proper respect and hand me my food instead of sitting it on the counter so I can get it. Unbelievable I would never go back there again or recommend anyone of color go there. More

I'm giving 3 stars ONLY because the patrons were amazingly awesome (probably because they were all drunk). I wish I could have stayed to drink, I only came to pick up an order...I thought this was a real restaurant. Looks like someone's … More

This is not where you go to impress your out-of-town friends. This is where you go if you have $20 and need to get drunk on beer and shots and eat grease. The owner is very sassy & friendly. Had a really good time!

My wife and I visited this restaurant on 7/23/2024.
My wife ordered a pork chop sandwich and it was very thin and a little dry, the lemonade was clearly not homemade, and the macaroni salad not good. More

Went there for the very first time today with my son. I ordered a hamburger, the burger was not like real ground beef, it had been frozen, was not fresh, tasted very bland and the cooked meat did not look like it was supposed to. My son had … More

White Oak Grill & Lounge is a solid choice if you're looking for a relaxed, no‑frills bar & grill with good bar food, pizza, and drinks in a casual setting. You’ll likely get friendly service and a fun crowd, but perhaps not gourmet finesse … More

Solid food… service was terrible. Waitress never checked on us for refills, etc. I would eat there again, because the food was good. For those who work for tips, which I have, you gotta do better. A 20% on a $125 ticket isn’t hard to earn, but can be reduced quickly if you don’t try More

Joe the bartender is a very patient hard-working man. He’s an asset to this place because he works so fast and is friendly and accurate with everyone on their orders. Staff is friendly and so is the clientele. Just a fun little bar and grill to relax. More

The food was mid at best like every other bar nothing special, bartenders have a alright attitude, but what really threw me off was I experienced a hispanic getting hate crimed and get kicked out because of a racist guy trying to fight him. I will never be back at this horrible racist place, absolutely disappointed and disgusted. More
