“Let that sink in for a sec.
The dude arrived way sooner than GrubHub estimated and the food was still piping hot.”
“The Pittsburgh pork sandwich (w/ Mozzerella) is to die for.”

Not a fan, not a fan one bit…
The restaurant has 2 floors, the sports bar is on the first while the main dining area is on the second. I primarily went to watch the football games and boy was I not impressed. First off, there are only a total of what 10-12 TV's which is not enough at all for a sports bar. Literally, every game that was on during that time was only on one TV, if that's what I wanted I would've just stayed at home.
Our poor waitress was taking care of the entire bar by herself!! That's unacceptable as I am huge on service, she was overwhelmed with not a minute to breathe. We got ok service but of course not her fault, management needs to hire more staff without a question.
Food was cheap, but like they say, you get what you pay for and we sure did. I tried to play it safe, at least I thought I was, by getting steak, poached eggs, potatoes and toast. The steak smelled awful, all I was able to smell was a nasty scent of blood that never went away, not like my steak was rare it was actually medium well. I believe it was an old piece of meat that wasn't properly cleaned or stored. Poached eggs were perfect so I give them that, potatoes were rubbery and stale, definitely were just sitting under the heat lamp for some time. I didn't enjoy my meal at all, matter fact I left hungry. The burger was overcooked, dry and bread was burnt, fries were edible, it was the best thing.
Sadly the place is on a busy street, but with below average food, lack of service, TV's and happy hour…I can't call this my go to spot.
This was my first time at Oak Ale House and it was great. I decided to come here after bookmarking it on Yelp. The bar itself is smaller than I imagined but cozy. It seemed like there were a lot of regulars there. They have a good variety of beers on tap and a full bar. I was happy to see they had Cricket Hill beer on tap as well, great to see local bars supporting our Jersey breweries! I was a little confused about ordering food. We went in a little late around 10 so I guess there was no wait service at that time but the bartender was great and helpful. They have a great menu with a lot of yummy options from soups to perogies to mussels to burgers, it was definitely a tough decision. Prices were also very reasonable, most burgers with fries are $10 and it will definitely leave you full! I ended up getting the Breakfast Burger and my sister ordered the Blue Burger. Both were absolutely delicious and the fries were good too! Overall the atmosphere was great, food was even better!
Came here for happy hour with a bunch of colleagues, taking up most of the place.
They don't have a LOT of beers on tap but they still have a nice selection. Prices aren't unreasonable. The staff seem friendly enough. They're quick to get your order out to you. Not sure if the taps were the problem but every pour, they had a lot of head on the beer. Meh. No big deal.
There are a lot of regulars at the bar it seems, a little older crowd but most seem nice enough. Including some who made sure to answer my question regarding parking.
It can get really loud in there to the point where I began losing my voice. Though that may have been my own friends causing the noise pollution this day. Haha
Need to try the food next time especially since they have some great specials like Filet Mignon for $5 on Mondays. What? Yeah, you read that right.
Was just here again the other night for their filet special and it is about time I write a review. Bartender Jennifer needs a huge shout out. She's sweet, friendly, efficient and can hold the bar on her own.
They have a good craft beer selection and it is served very cold in icy glasses. Refreshing! Filet special is always a fav for Mon but their other food is also good.
All around great local neighborhood bar. If Jennifer is in, you will be in good hands.
Oak Ale House is a few minutes away from our office. They have great lunch specials and happy hour ones as well.
There are three levels to this place and two entrances. They have two large bar areas and plenty of table space/seating. The servers/bartenders are all friendly and attentive.
Food is really great for the price, especially the grilled cheeses. They also offer an unlimited soup and salad combo for lunch, which is pretty cool.
There's on-street parking as well as a parking lot in the back. The owner will come and greet you, and ask how everything is.
First off, I have to say that I love Pleasant Street, which is where Oak Ale House is located. It's so convenient for me, because I live about a block or so away. I love to stroll by on Sunday mornings and support some of the independent business owners in the area, whom I have tremendous admiration for.
I heard about Oak Ale House via Groupon. I paid maybe 7.50 for a voucher worth 25.00 of food. What a steal! I was there by myself, so I was able to order a lot! 🙂 I had: a large order of Caesar salad, chocolate mousse cake, fries, and the Bella burger. Despite the terms and conditions of the Groupon, they still let me use it after it had expired (maybe they didn't notice), and I was able to use it for a to-go order (which you typically can't do). Their prices are incredibly reasonable as well.
Everything was very delicious! The Bella burger came out fantastic and was piled with plenty of fresh mozzarella. The servers were very friendly, and the cook even came out to make sure that he got my order correct.
Often times with Groupons I just visit the business and never come back (due to poor service, location, prices, etc). It is quite rare for a business to actually earn my business! 🙂
Great food – Yes!
Great servers – Yes!
Convenient location – Yes!
Amazing prices – Yes!
This was a winner in my book! I'll definitely be going back.
