Call it Oak the way it gets me barking - Edit
Had takeout from Oak and the food it was delicious, especially their Vegan Oak Bacon Cheeseburger and Vegan Battered Fried Pickle Spears. I’d recommend eating there over takeout !

A menu for everyone - Edit
We went to this restaurant to participate in a game night gathering. The place was chosen, in part, because it had a vegan friendly menu. At the same time, it had lots of options, of course, for non-vegans.

Vegan Owed, dual menus, excellent food - Edit
The owner of Oak is vegan and they have a full vegan menu with house made cheeses, veggie patties and more. The brunch was off the charts and they serve dinner late along with excellent house made cocktails.

Outdoor seating and lots of options - Edit
Came today for brunch, and was pleased to see there was a separate vegan brunch and dinner menu. The food was really tasty, and there were some classic American breakfast foods made vegan. I had the breakfast sandwich. The only con could be that a lot of the foods are more focused towards mock meats and more processed substitutes. But I thought the food was great.

Great place with separate vegan menus - Edit
I love that Oak has a separate vegan menu, making it easy to see my options. The wait staff was good at confirming which things we wanted vegan, since my date is not vegan. Great location and easy to walk to from the light rail.

Delicious! - Edit
Went here with my boyfriend for Valentine’s Day and it was great! Great service, delicious food. Got the vegan fish sandwich (really yummy, not much “under the sea” flavor) and also had the vegan cheesecake and apple crumble for desert! Yum!!!! Also, the cocktails were yummy, expensive, but yummy!

Cozy - Edit
Nice small neighborhood bar, cafe. Excellent service, vegan lunch. We both had a salad to start beet/Oak both were very tasty with the vegan house made feta added. I had a bowl of spicy curry vegetable soup with coconut cream broth (yummy). My husband had the vegan field roast burger and fries. We both really want to go back next time for their Sunday brunch.

I’d give Oak five stars if I could - Edit
Oak: American food, much of it comfort food, with extensive options for vegans, vegetarians and carnivorous butchers alike.
Read moreAfter being assured that it actually tasted nothing like fish, I got the vegan fish sandwich since it was the closest thing to a chicken sandwich on the menu; and, our server was right—it tasted nothing like fish and was absolutely delicious.
My older child went for the “Last Unicorn”, a fried tofu sandwich with coleslaw on top, which he raved about.
My younger child went for the (vegetarian) penne with cheese sauce, and between that and the vegan chicken fingers, French fries, and fried corn, he ate more than I’ve seen him eat at a meal in a very long time.
And then there were the other delicious dishes we tried: vegan kale fried chicken Caesar salad, vegan fried pickles (rockin’ dipping sauce with these), lentil soup, and the house-made Hostess ding dong-inspired cupcake, which brought the house down. And this was all topped off by some of the best and friendliest service I’ve had at a restaurant anywhere in the world in the past few years.
Our first visit was a smashing success and surely will not be our last!

Oak ain’t no joke. - Edit
Most of the menu is vegan or easily veganizable + they use Rebellyous Chicken, which is locally made + hella good. It’s my go to spot for a late night snack to go. I’m particularly fond of the fried pickle spears + brussels sprouts + I follow them on IG to keep an eye on the rotating specials bc they make some bangers + I’ve got fomo.

We had the vegan pot pie and the vegan bacon burger. The pot pie was a bit bland but my partner liked the burger. There are lots of options on this menu, including dessert which I wish we had tried!

Good biscuits but overall mid - Edit
Came with a couple of friends for brunch and we tried the vegan summer scramble, biscuits and gravy and French toast. The summer scramble tasted pretty good (just egg, nothing special) but did not match the menu description, which said it came with cherry tomatoes. It didn’t have any tomatoes in it. Very sad, tomatoes are my favorite. The kale was very plain, no seasoning. Everything needed hot sauce to give it flavor. I tried a bite of the biscuit and mushroom gravy, and I wish I had gotten a biscuit instead of the bread that came with mine. They said it was sourdough, but it tasted like stale bread from the store. My friend who got the French toast also said it tasted like wonderbread with sugar on it. There were plenty of vegan options, but we weren’t impressed with the food quality. I don’t expect we’ll be back.

Vegan Brunch 😋 - Edit
Atmosphere is mid-century kitchy Diner-in-the-Woods style. Staff is super kind with chill vibes. No one bats an eye when you ask for vegan foods. We had vegan poutine, biscuit w/ mushroom gravy, and vegan Oakie Dokie breakfast sandwich. Poutine was PERFECT and the fries stayed firm & crispy which is hard to do for any poutine 😋 Sammie was super tasty, the sausage patty added the right salt to Just Egg Chao slice melted well; seeded ciabatta aioli made it a cut above imo. Got a side of biscuit w/ gravy just to try it and biscuit was perfectly soft flavorful! Even the jam tasted either house-made or higher end. Overall excellent experience! What a 💎 on the Southend.
Read morePros: Poutine! , Oakie Dokie Breakfast Sandwich , Cozy w/ patio, back room, dining room, lounge
Cons: Could experiment with black salt on Just Egg

Friendly casual dining with lots of vegan options. Great staff and decor and a wide range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The aoili that comes with the pickle spears is vegan! This is a good spot if you are dining out with non-vegans.

Everything tasted amazing - Edit
Visiting from out of state and this place came on my radar bc of the many vegan and vegetarian options they have on their menu. I tried the tofu bacon on the burger and their vegan chocolate cupcake and I was so pleasantly surprised! It was all amazing and I loved my meal. I will say that the vegan pot pie did not need broccoli in the filling.

Great pub food - Edit
Many vegan options on the menu. Many specials are vegan to begin with, but when they are not there is always a vegan counterpart. Daily soup is always vegan (at least I haven’t seen it non-vegan). Most, if not all, desserts are vegan. One of the owners is vegan, so they take care. Could I say vegan more times?

They had plenty of vegan choices, even for desserts, which isn't always common. The cupcake was delicious! The fish sandwich was really good too. I'd definitely go back. The ambiance was nice, and they had some dog-friendly outdoor tables.

Vegan Breakfast - Edit
Yummy vegan options. Went here for brunch and had the “Chicken” tenders with waffle and the vegan biscuits and gravy. Both really good and would get again. I’m very particular about my hash browns, need the right amount of crispy, and they were excellent here with the biscuits and gravy. Will try adding the vegan sausage with it next time too.

Vegan Brunch - Edit
We all know that finding vegan breakfast options can be difficult, but Oak has you covered with a great weekend brunch menu where most items are available vegan. We tried the chick'n and waffles, and the "hangover" poutine, both were fantastic and very generous portions. The nut based "cheese curds" were perfectly tangy and the poutine gravy was to die for.
Read moreWe also appreciated Oak's process for COVID-19 safety, which asked us to place the order online and opened a tab for us to dine in place without having to discuss our order face to face. Tables were well separated in dining spaces, and flow of traffic was directed to keep patrons away from employee only spaces. We felt very safe dining here.
Pros: So many options. , Good COVID precautions. , Fantastic food.

Very great vegan options - Edit
This place has many vegan options for an Omni restaurant, and they’re more than “remove x ingredient for vegan” options. The food I’ve had is very tasty. I recommend the fish sandwich — not a common vegan option and definitely hits the spot. Service is friendly and accommodating.
