I'm going to be honest, I did not have high hopes for this place going in. It's an expensive "oyster bar" in Martin TN. My dining experiences in Martin so far have told me that if I want good food, either cook it myself, or leave the area, far far away.

But I was VERY pleasantly surprised. The food was AMAZING! And for the first time in my 40 years on this earth, the shrimp in the pasta dish DIDN'T have tails left on them! I don't have to tell you how unheard of that is.

We got the Shrimp Alfredo, and the Seafood Sampler. Along with Cajun Pickle chips and Fried Banana Peppers For appetizers. And everything was amazing.

And the service. Oh My God the service. We ordered everything at the same time. But they ACTUALLY paced the meal properly. We got our appetizers. And around the time we were done with those, our side salads came. We had time to finish our salads and digest for a moment or two before our entrees came.
And they were attentive with our drinks as well.

It isn't cheap, but it's worth every penny! Easily the best restaurant in Martin.

Excellent service. I cannot overstate how great the service was for our entire meal. We ordered everything (2 apps, 2 mains) at once and everything came out at appropriate times. I never had to ask for more water.
The food was great. I have never had fried pepperocini peppers before, but they are excellent. The Cajun ranch is great, not too spicy or salty. All of the fish the we ordered was cooked perfectly, and the shrimp in the Cajun Alfredo we ordered didn't have the tails on!! (I will die on this hill - more restaurants should take the tails off of shrimp that are going INTO a dish)
We will definitely be back.

Service was excellent. Nice atmosphere. Food was horrible. My steak was leather, everyone else in my party had finished by the time I got it and my grandsons hush puppies were burned to the point of being black. Did not make a good first impression. Hie friend ordered steak medium and it was bloody rare. My first and probably only trip here.

Staff was very sweet. Food was good, atmosphere is very quaint, and very old and lovely architecture.Seemed to be fairly busyPeople Unfortunately, were not the best at coming around to your table and checking on you once that you were served.

Tried Blue Oak for the first time and was quite impressed. I had a hamburger steak which was cooked perfectly and tasted great. The place was quite busy but we only had to wait a few minutes for a table for a party of six. The service was excellent. Our server was very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was great as well. This was my first visit but it won't be my last.

The food was good- especially for the price. The service was good- friendly college students. The atmosphere was good except I didn’t like all the dead animals on the walls. The problem was I ordered an old fashion which according to the menu should have been about $10 but when we got the check, I was charged $22. When we questioned it, we were told the prices on the menu had not been updated so I had to pay $22 for a mediocre Old Fashion
