The White Oak Tavern is a great place to meet friends for drinks and dinner. Great vibe. Great atmosphere. We stopped in on a Friday & they had Live acoustic music. The menu is full of delicious appetizers & entrees. There is a huge selection of beers, wines & cocktails. You can’t go wrong with anything you choose off the menu. Everyone at our table enjoyed their dinner & drinks. We had a wide variety of smoked wings, burgers, steaks, brussel sprouts and fries. All cooked and served perfectly. No complaints from our table.

I visited the white oak at the urging of one of their wonderful servers. Which showed me her trust in the products they have to offer. When I got here about 6:30 pm the place was bustling with people pretty much filled up. I sat at the bar and it took a bit to get served but I understood with the compacity of the room. My first choice was the shrimp and crayfish tail bisque which to my taste was way to spicy with little crayfish or shrimp if any at all. I then had the smoked wings with brown sugar and coffee rub and when I got a taste of that combination I liked it honestly it could use alot more of that for some flavor I did add some ground salt and some flavors came out then. My last course was the cheeseburger which I added bacon too. I must admit this was cooked perfectly to my requested temp and tasted wonderful. I was told later that this place is gluten free but I couldn’t tell on that burger roll it was all delicious. I am not worried about gluten and i dont know if this is true or not When you come out here keep in mind this is more of a burger and sandwich stop. But was very good for what they do

Came here on a whim one Saturday evening. I was actually planning on going to a nearby favorite, however, decided to give this place a try instead.

We were promptly greeted by friendly hostesses and sat in the dining area.

There was a nearby group of guys drinking and talking very loudly, which was a bit obnoxious; take that to the bar. As the restaurant was filling up and got closer to the dinner rush, a manager did ask them to move to the bar, and they happily complied.

We ordered Stuffed Portabella, Fried Chicken Sandwich, and kids’ chicken strips. All were incredibly tasty. The fries that came with the meals were probably the best local fries I’ve had. We were all completely satisfied with our food.

Our waitress was attentive, and our drinks frequently refilled.

The prices were also very fair for the great quality.

I would recommend this restaurant.

Nice, friendly neighborhood restaurant tucked in a corner of the Enchanted Forest Shopping Center. Parking is plentiful.

The menu offers seasonal specials with fresh ingredients. They are specials throughout the week with scheduled live entertainment. I don’t drink but there appeared a decent selection of Craft brews, cocktails and mocktails to choose from.

Still cold right now but there is a large patio area that tailors to outdoor eating and did I mention is pet friendly!

It was very welcoming and the dining area is laid out large enough to enjoy a gathering of friends or family to eat together. We were a weekday lunch time party of a dozen people celebrating a retirement and our server was very nice and accommodated separate checks. That is always appreciated.

We did not have long to wait for our orders. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The food presented was appealing and well prepared. The one thing I would remark on is the Tavern Reuben was a bit on the chewy side on some parts but it was flavorful and the rye bread was nice and thick. I also appreciate house prepared dressings and sauces. There are a few selections for vegan and gluten free diets.

Looks to be a nice be place to frequent and hang out, we never felt cramped and were able to carry on normal volume conversations. We were well attended by our server despite being a pretty large group, I wish I had gotten his name. I would like to come back again and try their seasonal offerings in such a friendly atmosphere! Nicely done White Oak Tavern!

Tried this place for the first time and was impressed! Good service (sat at the bar), great beer selection and the food was great (cream of crab soup and a shrimp curry bowl special).

Went for dinner on the Saturday after Valentines Day, and the place was lively. Great drink options, including plenty of pre-dinner cocktails and a fun selection of local and standard beers on draft. Asked the staff what beer to get based on preferences, and that turned out to be a good move. Had the winter stew for dinner, and it was great and filling. Date had a burger, and she loved it. Prices are reasonable, the staff are friendly, and the place is a fun atmosphere. Highly recommend for a night out with friends for drinks, food, and the occasional live music.

Have been going here since they opened but wanted to give an updated review. Great food, service, and atmosphere. They have a seasonal menu with new items throughout the year (Including seasonal cocktails). Also have the biggest tap list in the area with a ton of local breweries on draft. Really liked the Banh mi sandwich and peanut butter pie I had for dessert. They also have a great chicken sandwich!

I haven’t enjoyed a burger that much in a long time. It was thick and cooked perfectly medium. The tasty goat cheese spread on the Spaniard Burger was a nice layer to keep the bottom bun dry. The fries were perfect. Think 5 guys fries. Fresh. The homemade ketchup was so so. It tasted more like barbecue sauce. Just give me Heinz because everything else was so great. I wish I lived here. I’m not a drinker but it looks like they have a ton of beer selections.

I love the concept of farm to table. The food just taste different. Ordered the house burger and it was so juicy, flavorful and cooked to perfection. Their drinks are just as delicious. I highly recommended this place for any gathering. They also have a live band during brunch.
