Attended a repast and was pleased with the set up. The food was very good. No fault with the food
I took off 1* just because – The drink (lemonade) was deliciously sweet and I asked for some ice. I was dismissed with a “haughty” “there’s no ice”. I later noticed they had bags and bags of ice stored in the ice box. It didn’t take much to be accommodating and it respond more pleasantly.
Reviews are great referrals and business owners should treat all “prospective” customers with respect. I was very disappointed with the dismissive attitude

I tried this restaurant today for the first time. The service is friendly and welcoming. The place is clean and the atmosphere is comfortable. They have a great variety of food. I got rice and peas with cabbage and brown stew chicken. Delicious!
They have weekly specials and also a special for Valentines day which is next Saturday.
I look forward to trying more delicious foods from Oak!

Whenever I come back home to South Florida after living abroad most of the year, my first stop is Oak Cafe. Their soul food is absolutely top tier flavorful, comforting, and always tastes like it’s made with care What makes this place even more special is how they give back to the community, which really shows it’s more than just a restaurant it’s a place with heart. For me, it’s the perfect welcome home meal every time.

Disappointed with the lack of transparency
I was ready to give a good review, but unfortunately, that won’t be possible. My boyfriend and I stopped for lunch at Oak Café & Farmers Market because of the good reviews. We decided to dine in, but no menu was offered, the person who seemed to be the owner just mentioned the daily options. My boyfriend ordered the lobster, and I had the chicken soup.
Everything seemed fine until we got the check, $58. Based on their online menu, the lobster is around $30 and the soup $10, which should total about $43.85, not $55+. When I asked how much the lobster cost, he refused to tell me, only saying the total “included everything” and that the original price was $60, but he gave us a “discount.”
The food was okay, the soup was cold, and the lobster was overcooked, but we didn’t even complain. What really disappointed us was the lack of honesty and transparency in the bill.
Advice for future customers: ask for a detailed receipt before paying, so you don’t go through the same situation. A real shame, because the place had potential.

Cannot rave about this place enough!! Food was SOOO delicious My hubby and I are visiting FLL from East TN, and as verified food lovers, we will be back to this restaurant for future trips! The oxtail was OUT OF THIS WORLD yummy and tender, we gobbled every bite. Also ordered the jerk chicken slathered in jerk sauce, jerk rice, yellow rice, and sweet yams. We were stuffed full from the heaping, generous portions but could not put our forks down lol The owner was very kind and thoughtful, especially with our toddler dining in.

We stayed in the area 1 night after a cruise and were just killing time before our rom was ready. My wife and I decided to find a place to eat lunch and googled restaurants near me. Absolutely the best decision!!! From all of the great positive message signs on the walls, to the very comfortable air conditioning, and the clean atmosphere/friendly staff. That all pales comparison to the food. We ordered fried chicken, yams, Jamaican brown stew chicken, and rice. If you ask me what my favorite thing was, I would simply respond, “That is an impossible question to answer” Im a foodie and each of the items we had, I’d classify as the best I’ve ever eaten. The farmers market side of things is amazing fresh produce. The area is not where i would normally stay, but I consider myself lucky to have booked here and stumbled upon this jewel. I plea to the owners to contact me so we can get you a location in Nashville, TN. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Wow, where do I start? I ordered oxtails and rice and peas with cabbage. I topped things off with the lemon pound cake for my choice of desert. The food was good and I even asked for extra oxtail gravy and there wasn’t any hesitation from the server. Tasty food, recommended

In Ft Lauderdale Beach with my boyfriend to celebrate the new year and his birthday in our fun zone. We searched online for a restaurant that served Caribbean food with a friendly vibe. We discovered this friendly family restaurant managed by a nice couple who provided unique customer service and a warm inviting atmosphere. Food was very delicious with very generous portions. Menu contained varied selections of great dishes. No issues with parking or access to this restaurant. Will definitely return when in Ft Lauderdale again.
