Now this is where you go if you’re looking for Southern, home style cooking. Just good food with a mix of seafood and steaks. The service is warm, and the atmosphere is appropriately old fashioned. It’s quite popular, so get there on the earlier side if you don’t want to wait.

Dinner with friends last night.. first timers. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Friendly service, fast service, prices affordable! Our 4- top table ordered clam strips, onion petals, ribeyes, crab cakes and sautéed shrimp and the salad bar! Homemade croutons - YUM! Desserts- coconut cake, lemon blueberry pie and an orange cream cake- y’all GO! We will def make this a regular dinner option. Thank you The Oaks!
This company employs staff that bullies people online and supports Trump. They say that it’s not on their time and they are allowed to do what they want. Which they are, but I won’t be dining somewhere that employs people who berate and belittle people fighting to uphold the constitution.
We were out today exploring the historic Northern Neck and decided to try The Oaks restaurant. I'm glad we did! We were greeted as soon as we came through the door by the owner, Monty Carter, who was very accommodating and friendly. As soon as he seated us, one of his waitresses came over and asked if she could get us something to drink while we viewed the menu, which she did immediately. I decided on the hand cut ribeye steak, loaded baked potato, and a trip to the salad bar. My wife had the filet mignon, baked sweet potato, and lime beans. The steaks as well as the rest of the food were cooked perfectly, just like we asked. The atmosphere and the staff were terrific, and we will definitely be returning!
Great little restaurant. Glad we went early so we didn't have to wait in line. Appetizers ,entrees and desert were perfect. Waitress was outstanding! We will return next time we are in the area!
Don't go - we want to have seats at the bar!
Arrived on a Thursday night and the place was packed. We came a lot later than usual and it was Halloween, so that was on us. We sat in a nice waiting room for about a half hour, maybe more, but the folks around us were super nice and we just enjoyed socializing until our table was ready. It was almost as if they were doing seatings because at the same time a number of tables opened up. The hostess was overwhelmingly nice and the waitress was perfect for a local spot. Both were well seasoned and charming. I ordered the Lively Combo which was just about all the seafood lightly fried. Almost a Calabash style. Fish, clams, shrimp and oysters. For the sides I went with green beans and mashed potatoes w/ gravy. Both of which would have been just the way my mom made them. Finally, since that wasn't enough, they lured me into the desserts. There were over a half dozen options and I went with the Lemoncello cake which definitely put me over the edge of awesome. Definitely a recommended home town spot.

The only reason for 4 stars was the menu was more of a lunch menu and we were hoping for dinner. The food was great, we loved it!
This is What a restaurant is all about!! Great service, outstanding food. Well run established business.
