Reviews for Black Oak Tavern in Oak Lawn, IL
The food is fantastic. I've been here for lunch and dinner plus with kids. Each time the food has been awesome. The drinks... are good as well. A must visit if you're in the Oak Lawn area. Read more
The food is good. I am not a fan of the Cole slaw it was super dry. The asparagus was so good and the grilled fish sandwich... top notch! Read more
I love neighborhood spots and always give them the benefit of the doubt. Black oak is definitely good . The vibe was lively... without being too loud.There is a pretty extensive pub menu, the usuals in terms of burgers and sandwiches, with a few housespecialties that were pretty good. I had the fried Cod fish sandwich and it was definitely tender and flaky, tasty and just alittle bit of grease. The french fries were definitely above average, I tried some asparagus that was okay. The ranch and tartarsauce were definitely above average. I felt like the beer menu could use a serious upgrade, a few good choices but not enough towant to stop in for a beer. it was pretty busy that night so the service was a little slow but very very friendly.

I was disappointed this time. Prices are high, the Mac and cheese with chicken had no flavor. No cheese was in the bag for the... pretzel which was $10. We have always loved everything before this. You need our credit card number for a pick up order but thecare of the order not so much Read more
This is my second time coming here. First time was ok. Drinks are good but food was fair. This time I ordered hot wings and they... brung me a plate of chicken with hair (check out photos) also the shrimp pasta had NO TASTE at all. When they remade my wingssomeone else brung them out and said ?Wings with No Hair? as if it were funny. It was disgusting. The waiter pretty much ignoreall of our request after that, while the place wasn?t busy when we sat down. Over all one star. The customer service wasn?t upto part and the food wasn?t that great. The one star is only for the great drinks. The older lady that works at night made ourdrinks so good. That?s what made me come back but after this visit I won?t be returning!! Read more
This is a nice looking place with lots of room in back for seating, and enough televisions to watch all your favorite teams. The... food was just okay. I ordered a burger medium and it was served well done and on the dry side. The bartender was mediocre.Pretty much ignored until I ordered my drink three times from the bar back. Read more
After Living in Oak Lawn for almost Five years I finally decided to stop by for the first time. The service was great our... Bartender Dayna (sorry if I'm spelling it wrong) was quick to attend to us. She always made sure we were happy with our drinkand never had an empty cup, while still cognitive of course. The burger and fries we had were exceptional! Very tasty and wellprepared. Definitely going to make this a regular thing now while in the area. Read more
I threw my first surprise party for my husband as he finished the Chicago fire academy at the black oak. Maggie was the manager... that helped me set everything up and she was so helpful and kind! Erin was our host for the day. She was fabulous! They let usset up early, catered to all our requests for food and alcohol. It was a wonderful experience. The food is amazing too! Highlyrecommend and we will be back! Read more
