Oak at The Glen

Nice looking place in the Glen with significant number of whiskey to choose from. Ordered an impossible burger with fries and an ice tea, then a pour of Penelope Architect which was really good. Prices of the pours are reasonable. Great service too. Will be back.

Decent spot. Waitress wasn't the most welcoming. Food was average, I thought it was good but my entourage wasn't impressed. Personally, I would recommend.

Went here last night. The atmosphere was great. Loved our waitress Anna. She really hustled. Our food was great and she checked on us often. Rich the owner was super nice and came over to talk to us with a hot pretzel which was the best I have ever had !!! We had a variety of food. Salmon BLT, chicken Caesar salad, chicken and fries, jambalaya and a patty melt. Prices were good. I would recommend

We stopped in at Oak at The Glen to have dinner before a movie. The restaurant took over the space previously occupied by Ted's Montana Grill and the dining room looks much the same.The service was friendly and efficient. The menu offered many interesting options. The brussel sprout appetizer from the specials menu was good. I had the cheeseburger which was also good. It comes with cheese, bacon, lettuce, and tomato and of course a side of fries.We didn't try their bar drinks but they have an extensive offering. Overall if we are in the area we'd stop in again.

SERVICE: ***Our server gets five stars. But overall only 3 because you can't make reservations online but have to call. It was husband's birthday so we made reservations, but when we arrived, they had no record of the reservation. They still were able to find us a table at a highboy which I think was just a first come first serve area but we actually thought was the best seat in the house. So it worked out but it wasn't smooth. Still, our server was friendly, speedy, and great overall. ATMOSPHERE: *****I loved the dark wood and whiskey vibe. FOOD: *****Everything from drinks to salad to entrees was quite good. Nothing to rave about, but what it should be for elevated pub food. Definitely worth going.

We were warmly greeted by owner Rich as we came in, and Hanna as we settled into our seats at the bar. Music was playing in the background, the lounge area was bustling with conversations and the Maple Leafs were beating the Capitals on the TV screens. Life is good. On this visit we started with a cocktail - a CC Manhattan for my love and a Sapphire Martini with blue cheese olives for me. Drinks here are always excellent!For dinner I tried something I love to order at a Mexican restaurant, but had never had at Oak, Steak Quesadillas. They were fantastic - and I think the best I've ever had! I'm looking forward to my leftovers tonight. My husband is a big fan of the Honey Crispy Chicken Sandwich, which we hear will be added to the menu soon. Also, we both prefer the relatively new version of fries much more than the previous crinkle cut ones. Our wine picks were a Cs Substance Cab and a Chalk Hill Chardonnay. It was time to update my pictures from the prior ones, which were mostly from Covid takeout years. It seems like Yelp is now only allowing a maximum of 10 photos so I had to delete the original ones. These are better anyway.

I went up to Northbrook to take some newborn photos of my daughter and afterward we were famished. So as we headed home we stopped at Oak, located at The Glen shopping center in Glenview. When we were there it was an odd hour so was no one else was (which I was fine with because I'm still not super fond of eating in restaurants).We ordered the crispy Brussels sprouts for an appetizers and it was pretty good. I love Brussels sprouts just roasted but adding bacon always makes them extra delectable. I ordered the Blue Cheese Apple Bacon Burger which was really good. I am unsophisticated so I only eat burgers well done and they cooked it perfectly (you'd be surprised how often they come out not fully cooked). The bacon was delicious too, thick and again cooked through. The blue cheese was a mixture of blue and cream cheese which made it soft and creamy. Overall it was a good burger, though I could only eat half of it. It came with fries which were ok but not the best I've had.So the food was good, but the real star is the service. Our server, Joe, is maybe the friendliest server I've ever had in my life full stop. He is either truly one of the most upbeat people on earth or he is fantastic at being able to put on a good face. He seemed truly delighted in talking with us and helping us and made me believe his glee. He chatted with me and whilst I'm sure he was going for a bigger tip, I thought it was sweet when he said to my daughter that he hoped she changed the world, haha. It felt like just a natural extension of his cheerful persona. I'm pretty sure he even clapped once when we ordered something, maybe dessert. I would return here if not for the food just because or server put me in such a good mood from the moment he introduced himself.

Wow, my only thought is that this would be great food if I were sentenced to a long jail sentence and somebody brought me here on a day trip. The server while friendly, was overwhelmed with too many tables assigned and therefore ineffective. Beer was poured almost an inch from the top of the pint for whatever reason. The food was overcooked, under salted and weirdly loaded with sugar. I would never return and have no idea what people see in this soulless joint. The brick chicken certainly never saw a brick in its preparation. The chicken was covered in some nasty sickly sweet syrup and the meat was dry AF. The chicken that came on the salad certainly had never been salted and had the texture of shoe leather.

When visiting Chicago, met some friends for lunch at Oak at The Glen. The food and service were excellent.I had a Swiss mushroom burger. My friends had a Reuben sandwich and a hot brown sandwich.The restaurant wasn't crowded and there was ample parking.

The menu is amazing, I had the hangover burger and it was sooo delicious. Also have gotten the fried pickles many times and they are consistently delicious!! Their ranch is homemade I think and it is yummy! The servers are so nice and helpful
