Red Oak Pub and Restaurant

Nice people and great food selection. Whenever I come to this area for work, I stop in and it feels friendly and welcoming. Illinois businesses could learn a lot from this place!

I must say I was pleasantly surprised on how good the food was. My friend took us all here to show us their burgers and wings since we were in town and I'm glad he picked this place. My wife got their wings and I got their classic burger. Great staff who took our order and the others interacted with us as we waited. When the food came out, it was super delicious. Unfortunately, they don't ask how you like your burgers so that means all are well done. For well done, it was actually delicious.l, even though I prefer medium. The fries were also delicious.

This was my second time here and my co-workers first time. The service was great and the food came out delicious. We liked the large and well placed TV's. It is a very fun atmosphere, I will be back.

I was debating between blackened salmon entree that came with mash potatoes and maybe a side I can't remember but at $30 I decided to go with the blackened salmon Caesar salad for $19, lt was the most unceasar salad I've ever had. Limp long green leaf lettuce tomatoes cucumber Parmesan flakes no bacon with a piece of 3x3 inch blackened salmon. Trust me I do not mind paying for a great meal, its just not justified with quality and portions like this. Other items we ordered -Cup of French onion stuffed with croutons not just a few like the cup was full of more swollen croutons than broth. Barely 1/4 cup broth $7- chicken wings very small 6 wings like cheap frozen wings $10- kids cup Mac n cheese with cold sweet potato fries $9-soda $3.29 I don't mind paying the prices if the product reflects it. Maybe I just need to stick with the fish tacos that are not on the menu, as they have never disappointed me. Just heads up on the salmon.

Red Oak Pub is a very good gastropub. The food is excellent. I ordered a hamburger and a side salad. They were both excellent. Their salads are really awesome and fresh. Their hamburgers are a great choice also. I have eaten there many times and I am never disappointed. Our server was really good and the ambience was okay. Give them a try and you won't be disappointed.

My friend and I visited this restaurant for lunch. It was busy but we were quickly seated. Our server was very friendly. The menu featured many delicious options. I settled on a Turkey BLT Wrap. I opted for Sweet Potato Fries as my side. The food quickly arrived. The wrap tasted great. My only gripe is the wrap had a bit too much mayonnaise. The Sweet Potato Fries were amazing. The fries included a sweet dipping sauce. The sauce was a perfect pairing for the fries.I encourage folks to check out Red Oak if you are in the area.

If you have never dipped sweet potato fries in caramel, add this to your must do foodie list. The Red Oak Pub came recommended Bioc coworker who lives in this area, I was traveling for business.He said that I had to try the peanut butter bacon burger on a pretzel brioche bun and I needed to get the home cut beer breaded fries and dip them in the homemade tomato soup.This all sounded like a lot of crazy but I'm always up for a challenge. The creamy tomato soup had a little bit of cheese on top and was superb alone. Dipping the fries and the tomato soup kind of made the fries taste like a delicious crunchy type of ravioli dipped into a good creamy Red sauce. My coworker decided to go with the rodeo burger, sweet potato fries and caramel based upon a recommendation of the waitress. At this point we just decided to have some fun with our meal and make it a food experience.We shared and tried everything we had at the table and it was just a memorable, flavorful experience. I also tried dipping the burger in the tomato soup and that was a great flavor. Give this place a try if you are in Newark and don't be afraid to try something new. This will forever be a favorite for me.

We've stopped in here after every soccer tournament in the area and haven't been disappointed yet. Great atmosphere and enough choices for our entire crew to find what they are looking for. Brew selection is good and you can check in on Untappd as well. I went with the boneless wings for an appetizer and then the soup and half salad. The teriyaki wings were so good my mini-me stole over half of them. French onion soup was decent and the BBQ salad was better than expected.

We came here with wife, son and MIL. My wife didn't love it (didn't like the atmosphere) but I did. Had their house Irish Ale and found it a great beer. I had the Bunker Buster Burger and it was really good. The burgers are flame grilled and they have great flavor. We his burger had jalapeños, onion rings, red onion, and two types of cheese. I really liked the burger.My side was onion rings and, while, not the best onion rings I have had, they were pretty good. Overall, a good menu with solid pub food, TVs on with games, and good service. I would come back again.

First time to this a place. Very close to family we are in town visiting. Burgers are cooked to perfection and so full of flavor. Fries are really good, too. Great tasting red ale. The atmosphere is a little lacking. Very average at best. Kind of smells like cigarette smoke even though there is no smoking inside. Clean restroom.
