The food was mid at best like every other bar nothing special, bartenders have a alright attitude, but what really threw me off was I experienced a hispanic getting hate crimed and get kicked out because of a racist guy trying to fight him. I will never be back at this horrible racist place, absolutely disappointed and disgusted.

I went here on July 4th, great food, value, and a friendly atmosphere. The coolest part was the entertainment. I really like that Voodoo Gypsys band! They are fabulous entertainment!

This is a beautiful place. I say beautiful because I'm an out of towner and when I go there I feel like I'm welcomed by everyone. It's so easy to love everyone there because it feels like home and they're your family. The bartenders are amazing! My favorite is Tiffany... she's 💯% AWESOME! … More

This is not where you go to impress your out-of-town friends. This is where you go if you have $20 and need to get drunk on beer and shots and eat grease. The owner is very sassy & friendly. Had a really good time!

Joe the bartender is a very patient hard-working man. He’s an asset to this place because he works so fast and is friendly and accurate with everyone on their orders. Staff is friendly and so is the clientele. Just a fun little bar and grill to relax. More

There's not very many small town bars in this area. I'm used to them being everywhere in the Midwest. This place is great. Friendly patrons and staff. Cheap drinks and everything food wise I've ordered has been great. Really good pizza. More

A dive restaurant with limited seating. The restaurant is really more of a bar than a restaurant, but the food is good. The food is house made. We tried the pizza and wings and were not disappointed. More

The waitress was not friendly nor did she serve me with proper respect and hand me my food instead of sitting it on the counter so I can get it. Unbelievable I would never go back there again or recommend anyone of color go there. More

White Oak Grill & Lounge is a solid choice if you're looking for a relaxed, no‑frills bar & grill with good bar food, pizza, and drinks in a casual setting. You’ll likely get friendly service and a fun crowd, but perhaps not gourmet finesse — expect the “dive bar charm” with occasional drawbacks in speed or consistency.
If you tell me the location (city) you meant for “White Oak Grill & Lounge,” I can check recent reviews there too.

Very disappointed,… I really wanted to like this place. After seeing pictures of their pizza here in the reviews I drove 40 minutes out to try this pizza. At first I was excited. It is the quintessential “dive bar “but then I waited an hour and 15 minutes for one medium pepperoni pizza. I don’t know what happened because my bartender/server/cook never said a word about what took so long. She didn’t apologize, she didn’t explain she just brought out my pizza after an hour and 15 minutes. When I got there they were only two other customers and neither one of them appear to have ordered food. After an hour and 15 minutes some of the other customers actually started commenting. They said things like “you didn’t get your pizza yet? “When I finally got it it was terrible! It was like they took the dough for a small pizza and stretched it out to a medium. It was like the dough didn’t rise correctly. It was just terrible. This picture is of a pepperoni pizza. Can you tell?

My wife and I visited this restaurant on 7/23/2024.
My wife ordered a pork chop sandwich and it was very thin and a little dry, the lemonade was clearly not homemade, and the macaroni salad not good. More

Solid food… service was terrible. Waitress never checked on us for refills, etc. I would eat there again, because the food was good. For those who work for tips, which I have, you gotta do better. A 20% on a $125 ticket isn’t hard to earn, but can be reduced quickly if you don’t try
