White Oak Grill & Lounge

It was fine. Stop asking me to write a review! It's a good local establishment where even a Yankee like me feels welcome

Very sketchy, uncomfortable vibe. I wasn't sure if I pulled up to the right place due to all the cars, dirt and gravel parking area. Looked more like a house or biker club meeting area. Walked in to this lovely flag and unwelcoming stares, like what Is she doing here? No seriously, a older man at the end of the bar yelled, "Don't worry, you're safe," as everyone else laughed. Really? Stood there for about 2 mins before even being greeted just for me to tell them I had a call in order that clearly hadn't been started yet even though I called about 20 min prior. A part of me wanted to turn around and leave right then. But I said no, some of the best food I've had came from a whole in a wall, I'm not going to be like that.. should've listened to my gut. Left smelling like a years worth of cigarette smoke and completely bland wings and onion rings. My experience was completely different than the reviews and I do not recommend nor will I return.

This place ain't fancy but it's a great place to get a good meal. Don't let the decor (or lack thereof) scare you off. This is a friendly neighborhood bar with some of the best food in Garner. The burgers are excellent. The pizza is the best we've had in Garner (they make their own dough in-house), and the onion rings are among the best I've had anywhere.They don't usually have microbrews, they don't serve craft cocktails (they do mix a good margarita, though) and they certainly don't have artisanal ice (or artisanal anything), but if you're looking for a tasty bite or a cold beer in a friendly atmosphere, this is the place.

I love a good dive bar. And reminiscent of an old country store, White Oak Grill AND Lounge is the Holy Grail of that genre. White Oak has liquor--and food--and they take credit cards--three things most true dive bars don't have. The bar is bursting with old school, roadside honky tonk character. Their sign is a simple hand-painted piece of plywood. Parking is in a gravel lot (littered with a few beer cans) off the highway. And walking into the bar with a screen door slamming behind me just feels right.Staff was friendly and the food was really good. We had mushroom/jalapeno pizza and fried okra because we're healthy like that. I was surprised to see the bartender/cook making the pizza dough fresh with each order. The pizza was awesome.White Oak has pool tables, outdoor seating, and a stage for karaoke and live music (I was there seeing a friend's blue grass band). And you can get fried dough, boiled peanuts, and Jello shots. It's better than the State Fair!The full menu features country cookin' and typical bar fare. I can't wait to stop in for breakfast--and it's nice to know I can have a shot of whiskey with my egg sandwich if I'm so inclined.Thank you White Oak. There aren't many places like you left in this trendy world.

Little hole in the wall grill & lounge dont let the appearance fool you. Staff friendly breakfast plate was awesome.

Definitely not what I was expecting. The outside looks sketch, and the inside felt a bit that way too. But everyone there was super friendly and the food was surprisingly good.

Great Service, fast and a very large selection of food. See attached menu as of July 2024.

Fast, simply, and good. Friendly neighborhood bar with yummy handmade burgers, onion rings, and pizza.

Great selection of delicious food. Awesome bartenders with great customer service. Atmosphere is full of good vibes. From free pool on Tuesday and Wednesday to Friday night karaoke I always have a great time. Also great bands on Sundays.

Fun times! Went to see a local band called Southern Misfits Band there. Great band ! Check them out if Facebook to see where tgere playing next. Lots of good entertainment and bar food and drinks.
