Quaint pub. Solid service and decent Friday fish fry

Gave this place a second try after a multi year hiatus. They have turned things around significantly. The burgers were really good, the fries were delicious & the service was far superior to the last time that I visited.

Hello everyone, if you are wondering where to go for the best burger (a burger without bells and whistles and extra items that in my opinion doesn't make a great burger!), in the Madison area, then look no further my friend. These are the best! Also, if you are looking for a delicious fish fry/grilled then I must say, I've yet to find a better place than Oakcrest. Plus the staff are a great group of friendly folks that I appreciate greatly! The only drawback is that the size of the building lacks the space to accommodate all of the loyal clientele (we are soooo many). So come early for a seat. I love this place!

One of the best little bars peppered throughout Madison.

Real burgers, not in the smash style, that are cooked well with various options for toppings. Fries and other sides were fried perfectly.

Drinks and food were both fair or even impressive for the prices.

Only thing is make sure you got your boosters, because along with all the charms of a small bar, comes the haphazard dance with OSHA that is uncovered coughing of the grill/barback and lack of hand washing. Some people can appreciate that extra flavor. 🤠

Great spot. Bartender was friendly and the burger was great. The grill is essentially in the bar, which I thought was fun.

Excellent coconut shrimp and broccoli cheese soup!

It was a cozy place. I ordered perch and my friends ordered roast beef sandwiches. My perch had no seasoning and my fries could have been better.

Everyone there is super friendly, service is fast, and the food is great! Even on super busy nights they're speedy and efficient.

great food, and even greater people

Great specials and burgers. Homy atmosphere. Responsive staff. Always hopping, so expect a little wait during peak times. Nothing too long though.

Parking: The parking lot is split on either side. Limited spots.

Food was good, drinks were good and service was excellent. They had some very old music playing which made sense with their clientele. Would recommend ?.

Really enjoyed the place... market price for a tender sirloin was a bit too expensive... the steak was awesome, though
