The food at the oaks is good, the management however, the worst I’ve ever experienced. The manager of this establishment is the least likable person I’ve ever came across. He is not at all someone to be in charge of leading, and certainly not someone to be in customer service. He doesn’t know how to take constructive criticism, and does not care about providing proper service. This used to be a great restaurant as Kennedy point, but this man single handily ruined the establishment. My family and I came to get a refreshment after golfing, and he turned us away at the door due to our last visit. The service at our last visit was horrible, with no excuse as the restaurant was nearly empty. The food was all brought out at the same time, appetizers with the main meal, and because they were out of a side, they did not offer to get us anything instead, but rather threw a random side on the plate without checking in with us as customers. A person in my group kindly suggested that the service was not as we expected, and they were rather disappointed in what this restaurant has come to. The managers response to this situation was to take away our food, and tell us to leave. He did not, in any way say we were not welcome back. In fact, I remember him saying he was looking forward to seeing us again. It’s sad to see this business be led by such an awful manager, I hope in the future he learns what being in customer service is about.

I was at The Oaks Grille for a wedding rehearsal dinner for your granddaughter. First, when I entered the clubhouse, the young man vacuuming with a cordless vac, stopped and offered to walked me too the event room.when I asked for direction. No one else had arrived yet, so I went and relocated my car closer. The fun and festivities began, the rooms filled with friends, families, food and fun! Not only did the barkeep make good cocktails, but the food was all so, so fresh and simply delcious. I did go back for seconds on the chicken!

Attended a group meeting there and had dinner. Was surprised how wonderful the food was. Fresh, fried chicken breasts, not the frozen, pre-breaded. The steak fries were thick and crispy. The food came out hot. The price was comparable to anywhere else. I've already been back a second time. Highly recommend.

Friendly, casual to upscale casual atmosphere. Family-friendly with excellent food & service. Live local music on the weekends too! The Blackberry Old Fashioned is superb!

Stopped in for a burger and some loaded baked potato soup yesterday and it was delicious!!! I am here all the time for golf and will now be making a point of sticking around for food afterwards. Great service as well!!!

A lot of people think this is just a golf course but it’s one of the best restaurants around in the area!! Great prices, good amount of food, and it’s always delicious! The owner, manager and staff are great people as well! Highly recommend!

The Oaks Grille is great. You can go for drinks or drinks and food. They have different specials, all creative. The best part is the staff, each and every one of them is personable and fun. George is a manager that actually helps the team. They work together to make your experience enjoyable. If you have an issue they correct it with a smile. I always know it will be worth the money we spend here. We go at least twice a week. Oh and the desserts are wicked good. ❤️

We had our 50th anniversary party there and the room was set per our request, food was delicious & plentiful, as it was set as a buffet. If I had to mention a negative, it was guests had to wait extremely long for their drink orders. If I had to change something, I would've asked for another bartender to be added for our event. All in all, they were extremely accommodating and we were very pleased.

Went there last night. Ordered drinks at the bar and said we were going to eat. Sat down, was ignored. Another table came in, they were given menus right away and were waited on first. We said we'd like some menus as well. I ordered the blue burger, which consists of bacon, blue cheese, and grilled onions. Received the burger with no bacon and the onions were probably on the grill for a few seconds. So I basically got a burger with blue cheese. Told the server, he said he'd discount the bill. My aunt ordered a salad and chicken tacos. Not being able to eat the tacos, she brought them home and found out they were fish tacos. Looked at the check, got charge for fish which is more money and so is the blue burger. We did not get the discount off of the burger. So check your bill before you leave! We were very disappointed. Margaritas were not good. Either was the mango margarita. For the rice of everything, I'd suggest making dinner and margaritas at home.
There was only one employee that was smiling and pleasant. That was the food runner. He was a delight. Sitting outside was nice as well. But those are the only two good things I can say about this place.

Hands down, one of the worst burgers I ever had. Why even ask how you want it cooked? Medium requested, dry, gray (no pink) and over-charred is what was delivered. Flavor was strange, too (heavy gas grill flavor).
My wife had the patty melt. Same results.
Fries were undercooked and cold. Truly disappointing dining experience.
Service… didn’t get the app we ordered. The waiter used “cool” and “you bet” to respond to requests.
To note, this is not our first time at the Oaks. Food has never been great.
