Another incredible breakfast this morning. First time having the Swedish pancakes — AMAZING. The hubs had his usual Chicken Scramble. Love it. Can’t wait til the next visit. Kayla always welcomes everyone with a friendly smile and + Rodrigo is a master in the kitchen.

We were in town for a wedding, and decided to stop here for brunch. The food was SO good. We were all so happy after we left. I would highly recommend!

Absolutely loved our experience here! Oaks Eatery is a nice, cozy family restaurant with friendly service and amazing food. I ordered the eggs benedict, which was savory, creamy, and well seasoned. My partner had the biscuits and gravy, which was the best I've had in a looong time. We shared a pancake: Sweet but not too sweet with a perfectly toasted outside and soft fluffy inside. Overall we had a great time and we will be back ?

This is a great little Cafe to stop for a meal. Our group of 4 was headed about 15 minutes east of the Oaks Eatery and found it as the perfect spot. The food and service were excellent, coffee hot and fresh with pretty good prices for all. You know that you've found a gem when one of the owners walks out from the kitchen to help up front with a smile on his face the whole time. We'll plan trips back to the area around being able to stop again for breakfast or lunch.
Love this restaurant ! Service here is excellent, very friendly, and welcoming! My wife and I dine here often, and have had many items on their menu. MUST TRIES - sweet potato waffle, breakfast tacos, tomato basil soup, caprese sandwich, and cheddar grit cakes. Honestly we have not had a dish that we didn’t thoroughly enjoy from here. Plenty of options for folks with allergies and dietary restrictions (also gluten free options, vegan and vegetarian as well). The owners and staff have done wonders with this restaurant. THANK YOU to Oaks for all that you do for your costumers! If you have not patronized Oaks Eatery yet , you are missing out on a great local find!

TL;DR: Food was ok, we found a nail in a dish, owner/manager was an unprofessional jerk about. Wouldn't recommend.
This was among the worst dining experiences I've had in a long time. It became evident by the end why, but if we hadn't been there with kids who needed to eat, we would have left without eating.
To start, we had a big-ish party: 4 adults, 4 kids under 9, and we're in town for a short fall vacation. When we sat down, the table wasn't set, no biggie, but we didn't receive silverware until after our food was delivered. We also didn't receive napkins until then, and when we did, they weren't folded, just grabbed from the box and piled on our table .
The service was slow, and our server seemed very disinterested in our table. In her defense, she was clearly overwhelmed as she looked to be the only server handling at least 5 tables if not the whole dining room.
We placed our order, which included an order of biscuits and gravy. I think the make this dish to order because it took a while, but when it came out most of the food was good. However, the biscuits and gravy had a NAIL in it - I've worked in restaurants before, I understand how these things happen, but we only found it because the 5 year old who ordered it didn't want the green onion garnish.
We asked for a new order of B&G which took 30 minutes. The whole table had finished our food before the new B&G came out. And when the server brought the check teir was a perfunctory apology and a 50% comp on JUST the B&G.
We asked if that was right, not even comping the full order, and then realized that the server had used an employee food discount to discount the order. We asked to speak to a manager (note we had to ask for this, the only person we had interacted with to this point despite finding a nail in our food was our server), and a guy who I had initially presumed was a maintenance person based on how he was dressed and presented himself came over and argued with us, saying about the food, "Well she's eating the new order. And there's nothing in the kitchen that would have fallen into the food. What do you think we should do?" I said, as a person who's worked in food service for several years and run restaurants, I would have at least comped the full ticket if not the full table. So after arguing with us, somehow insinuating it was our fault the nail fell in a five-year-olds food, then playing dumb like he didn't know how to handle a situation like this like a normal food service manager, he reluctantly agreed to comp the dish.
It was clear that the manager is an awful person to work with and the servers seem very unhappy, as the server was trying to help by using her own discount instead of asking the manager to do what he was supposed to do. The whole thing was absurd. The food was good, but I would never recommend this place to anyone.

We found a NAIL in our biscuits and gravy (happened to be my child’s meal), which took 20+ minutes to even get to the table.
We were understanding, did not make a scene (I hate scenes), and were very patient with our four children and two adults who were dining and inconvenienced. We waited ANOTHER 20+ minutes for a new plate of biscuits and gravy.
At the end, we asked to speak to the owner. He began by playing stupid “hey what’s going on… is something wrong here guys?” Then he acted 1) like $6 off the $12 meal was sufficient when a nail could have been ingested, and then 2) he tried to accuse US, stating “there’s nothing in my kitchen that has that in it”. We weren’t trying to even get the whole ticket comped (though I think that’s not out of the question with something like this).
This owner was completely out of line. I thought the lack of apology, aggressiveness Towards us, and resulting huffy removal of the charge for the singular meal was pretty pathetic.
We’ve dined at Oaks hundreds of times. It’s always consistently delicious with excellent service. The seasonality of the area can impact their staffing just like anywhere else but they roll with the changing seasons and always provide what we expect. We are so so lucky to have them in our small community!!
The food is to die for good and it's made with care and love by the owner, who introduced himself when he ran food to our table. The hostess and server were friendly. Love the art work. We will be back, next week, with family. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu.

Not sure who made my sweet potato vegan hash this afternoon, but please pat yourself on the back. It was phenomenal. Also what kind of gluten free toast do you use?
Vegetarian options: There are vegan and gluten free options!
