Black Oak Café

Way better than I expected! We're staying at the hotel to get up to the Leland snow play area which is about 45 minutes away. We decided to keep is easy and not drive to get dinner tonight, which brings us to the Black Oak Cafe. The hostess was super sweet as was the waitress. They have a $5 kids breakfast menu and $10 kids dinner menu which is perfect for our kiddo, and a a good variety on the menu for adults. Salads, soups, burgers, sandwiches, chicken, steak, and fish entrees, as well as pasta. Reasonably priced, averaging $20 an entree. We got the prime rib French dip (4/5), turkey burger (4/5), and kids cheeseburger meal (4/5). Would recommend to anyone staying here if you're looking for a fuss-free, reasonably-priced meal

We came here after a 2/3 day at Leland Snow Play (strongly suggest for kids who are too scared to ski/snowboard. I'm honestly not sure if I was just SUPER hungry or what, but this place was a lot better than expected. Food: The kids ordered hamburgers, I ordered a Chicken Fried Steak, and the wife ordered Chicken Alfredo. All were good! Not GREAT but good. The pasta was rich and the chicken wasn't overdone. The Chicken Fried steak was well... Chicken fried steak, not sure what you'd want out of it.Service:We waited a while for our server. This is the sole reason we had a -1 star. Originally, I joked it's because we had 8 people and they had already earned their 20% tip. But nope, they were like that with everyone. They came by, introduced themselves, and walked away. I would give them -2 stars for service, but i mean, everything came out hot, just slowly.Cleanliness:The floor was sticky... like REALLY sticky. A little offputting how sticky it was. It was only under my chair which meant that it ended up being the last patron spilled their soda and it was never cleaned. Everything else was very clean though so there's that.Overall the price was okay given the area and the kicker was that we were there on a Sunday and they had a great deal of "buy an entree get a free dessert". We'd probably go back again if we're in the area. It was a good time, a very looong good time.

Went up and bowled at Black Oak and grabbed lunch at the cafe. Only issue was the smoke drifted in. Bummer.My wife and I split Chicken Curry Sandwich and it was dry. Flavor was good but it was just a little dry. My friend had the Black and Blue Burger and loved it. Looked great. His wife had the Fried Raviolis and they were very good. We all had some and enjoyed them. Our service was very good and the ambience is decent. You don't feel cramped or crowded. I would go back.

My mom and I always stop by this restaurant when we come to Black Oak! The atmosphere is classy and the servers are pleasant. I usually get the Chicken Alfredo or the Tuscan Salmon. The pasta is very savory and creamy and the garlic bread is perfectly toasted, complimenting each other well. The bowl of Clam Chowder is also a pretty hearty portion and is best with some Tabasco (if you've never tried, prepare to be shook!). This last time I went, my mom got the Black Oak breakfast and aside from the fact that it was delicious, there was plenty to take home.Celena was our waitress and she was sweet and helpful. It does seem like this place is a little understaffed, making service consistently slow. Heads up to give this team a little bit of patience, as you take your break from gambling!

Another Thanksgiving has arrived, and since our children have grown up and moved away I do not want to make such a huge feast for 2, so we join my inlaws and have Thanksgiving lunch/dinner here. The ambiance is a casino, so it's loud and sometimes smoky also, but like I said, it's a casino. The food is really good and the portions are very large. The turkey is equal, serving white and dark meat with mashed potatoes and gravy and green bean casserole, and you even get a large slice of pie. It's definitely delicious and worth the price of about $20. Now the service : no matter what grab a menu or you will be forgotten as qe waited 15 minutes just to have our drink order taken and we only ordered coffee and water. I come here for the gambling and food so it's all good. Be patient and enjoy yourself here as there are so many other things here besides food.

I dined at this restaurant twice during my stay at Black Oak Hotel & Casino (there's not many food options in the area). The restaurant is clean and well-decorated, the staff are kind, and the menu has a good amount of options. At first glance, there are no vegan options on the menu besides a few vegetable sides. However, after asking my server, she informed me that I could substitute the patty in any burger for a beyond meat patty - music to my ears. On both visits, I ordered a burger with a beyond meat patty. The food was okay, not bad but definitely not worth the price you pay. I wouldn't eat here unless there were no other options (which unfortunately happened to be the case). They should update the menu to inform guests that there are vegan options.

Round of applause! Everyone in this place has great customer service! Time and time again we come and you guys are so friendly and timely with everything. Thank you for being consistent. Food is always good and I appreciate all of the staff. Ps: I love how the au jus is covered to keep warm upon delivery to table 5 star staff!!!!

Decided to eat here because Seven Sisters was closing by the time we arrived. Quickly seated even on a busy Friday night. The waitress was very nice. Got the fried raviolis for the appetizer was truly surprised on how creamy the cheese inside was they were very good even the dipping sauce it came was good. I ordered county fired steak w/ sides of mashed potatoes, also very good. My BF ordered the linguini pasta which was the special of the month. He enjoyed the seafood that was in it but he said the black color noodles kind of threw him of so he didn't really each too much of it. There's no bathroom inside the restaurant but as soon as you walk out onto the casino floor the restrooms are right across.

First of all the location of this café in regards to the casino is perfect. You do not have to walk through the whole casino to get to the café. The entrance is near the parking lot, a short walk to the cafe.Dinner was delicious! The pan seared salmon salad was so tasty! They have a full bar so we could continue having our drinks while we took a break from gambling to eat. The tri tip sandwich had a perfectly prepared steak sliced in two on a crusty and soft roll. Lots of fries too with the steak sandwich. Our server forgot our drinks, she apologized but then I was given a warm beer so I asked for another one. I've never done that! The breakfast was super yummy! The mixed berry pancake was fluffy with just the right amount of berries served with LOTS of whipped butter on the side and yummy gooey maple syrup.The colossal breakfast sourdough bowl was a different breakfast super filling and the gravy had lots of pepper; our favorite! We did not get our coffee refilled unfortunately. It was not busy in the restaurant on a Saturday morning at 10am Great place and would eat here on our next visit.

I ate here while staying at the hotel. I got a turkey burger with a side salad. The salad was okay but not very big. The burger was a lot better than I expected. It was not dry at all and had a decent amount of flavor for a turkey burger. I ate a few bites of their French dip and of their regular burger and both of those were good as well. We actually came back the next day as well but I did not eat. I tried some of the pasta from the kids menu, and it was just okay. The portion for the pasta was a lot smaller than the burger too (so if your kid is a big eater, go with the burger and skip the pasta). Service was good, but the smell of the casino smoke permeated through everything, which was a bummer. All in all a lot better than I was expecting from this place. It was also reasonably priced, and there is nothing else close by, so it was a pleasant surprise to see that they're not gouging people as much as some places would.
