For some reason, the exterior of this place doesn't fully represent what the restaurant is really like inside. I always figured this place to be more of a divey diner place. But I was very happily surprised when I walked in and it turned out to be this clean and cozy neighborhood restaurant. It was very pleasant inside and not too loud.
I've been here a few times now and have enjoyed all my meals here. The place serves up a good breakfast selection - all around $10. Lunch options are $12-$15 with dinner entrees $18-$20. The menu is definitely familiar comfort foods like reubens, clubhouse, chicken fingers, pastas and burgers. They even have a kids menu and a 55+ menu - very family friendly place.
I like their burger bar menu where they offer up different styles like basic, greek, western style and you pick your patty (beef, chicken breast, salmon fillet or veggie). I liked the california burger ($12.99) and opted for the chicken breast - it came with avocado, goat cheese, roasted red peppers, lettuce, tomatoes and sauteed onions. The fries were absolutely yum! The fries reminded me of the ones from New York Fries - skin on, and perfectly crispy.
I enjoyed their breakfast meals too - very good portion sizes! I like that their food isn't overly salty.
It's a nice place to go for a casual meal. Service is really knowledgeable and friendly with pretty fast food service. And there's parking in their private lot! -

Because it was literally -right- outside my friend's apartment, this was our chosen breakfast spot the other morning.
It was dead, which wasn't unusual for a weekday morning. Our server showed us the specials menu and I decided to go with 2 eggs, toast, and a fruit cup for $5 something. And a cup of coffee. I had my eggs scrambled with cheddar cheese.
The food came out insanely fast! Like, under 5 minutes fast. Not too shabby. Everything tasted decent, not amazing or anything. The fruit cup had mostly melon and pineapple but also some raspberries and strawberries. I didn't really eat them though. They were mostly bottom of the basket berries and were a little crushed.
We headed over to pay after and both our meals came to about $12. So much for the breakfast special. I didn't realize a tiny amount of cheddar cheese and a cup of coffee would add on so much.. My pal also ordered a special for the same price-ish and a cup of green tea. Apparently a Lipton teabag and some hot water cost $3. Hm. -

We were hungry but feeling indecisive tonight, so we came to the Oakwood, as it was close by.
I had the Grilled Asparagus, Swiss and Tomato sandwich with a side of borscht and it hit the spot perfectly. The bread was grilled a nice, golden brown and wasn't too greasy, there was lots of cheese and the asparagus was very nicely done - not mushy, not too firm, and perfectly tender - not all stringy and tough like asparagus often is.
The borscht was excellent. Flavourful, full of good stuff and served with a side of sour cream.
After bringing us our drinks the server took longer than we needed to come back and take our order, but overall the service wasn't bad. I asked for my side of soup to come out before the rest food, which it did, and then when the rest of the food came out, so did a second side of borscht. She let me keep it, didn't charge me for it and wrapped it up for me, along with the rest of my sandwich (bonus, biodegradable takeout containers for non-hot items though the soup was packed up in styrofoam still.)
Two sandwiches with sides, a bowl of soup and a beverage came out to $31 after tax, so it's not the cheapest place to eat but it's pretty reasonable.
The atmosphere of the place is nice - comfortable, a little old fashion. It's the kind of place I can see taking my grandmother to.
Last time I was here I had the seafood quiche which was also very nice. -

We purchased a groupon to eat here. We wanted grease! lol don't know if we came to the right place for that but anyways, I ordered the baja burger. It was taco seasoned with bell peppers, sour cream, lettuce, tortilla chips among other things. It was good. Loved the flavor, although it was big & messy. The fries were homemade and standard. My boyfriend ordered the clubhouse with fries. Again, standard. Shoot, what a waste of taste testing. The decor was festive (it is Christmas) and it was a small diner. Price ranges from $11.99 - 26.99.
