  Underwhelming. Took 40 minutes to get our food- we were 6 out if the 11 people in the restaurant. When the food arrived it was warm- not hot. The pickins' are slim in town, so comparatively this place may rank higher for others, but not this out-of-town foodie. Positives: The playlist gets two thumbs up. The server was delightful.

  I'm always a bit skeptical of places that serve too wide a variety--lasagna and hamburgers and salads, etc. This place was just fine. The atmosphere was nothing special--fairly drab and institutional. The waitress was nice enough, not fabulous. It did a decent business on a Thursday night--there were maybe a half dozen tables in and out while we had dinner. Husband and I both had hamburgers and enjoyed the food. But I judge a place based on whether I would go back, and I would definitely try other restaurants in the area before I went back here. Not because of anything particularly wrong, just nothing was particularly right, either.

  Great food and spectacular service. Staff is very friendly and take exceptional care of the customers.  Its not quite what I would call diner food.  While it has the usual burger and sandwich options,  it has quite a few other entrees ( like their steak and pasta dishes) that take it to the next level as far as a restaurant is concerned.  
  
  .....and fried Oreos......what more can you ask for....

  Cafe One Ten adds a much needed sit-down restaurant to downtown Oak Hill and provides good food at an affordable price.
  
  As always on my local restaurant reviews I've been here at least 3 times before I do the review just to give the restaurant a good shot and showing it's true potential.  Overall I have to say that Cafe One Ten is a good restaurant and provides a nice casual diner experience in the heart of Oak Hill.
  
  Food:  If you're looking for a lot of classic diner fair, this is the place to go in Oak Hill.  A wide variety of burgers and sandwiches are the main fare on the menu, however there are a few entrees and pasta dishes to add some body.  Most of the food I've had here has been acceptable to pretty good, but it lacks just a little finesse to take it the level out outstanding.  The grilled chicken cordon blu and red devil deep fry (their take on a Monte Cristo) have been the two best items I've had so far.  The salad bar has always been well stocked and been fresh the times I've ventured to Cafe One Ten.  The main two knocks against the food, has to be the lack of some healthier options on the menu, as well as the food preparation has lacked a bit of finesse.  The quality is usually pretty good, but a little lack of a seasoning and some missteps in preparation hold it back from being truly memorable and worthy of 5 stars.
  
  Service:  I haven't had a problem with the service at Cafe One Ten yet.  The wait staff has kept my drink full, and been fast enough and attentive enough at my travels here.  I have had a few times with waiting quite a while on food, mainly on nights they're very busy.  This is to be expected with a new restaurant, but it is worth mentioning.  I can say from my personal experience the wait staff seems overall pretty knowledgeable about the menu , however I have seen a few instances where tables beside me had questions about the menu the waiter or waitress had to run to the kitchen to get the answer.  
  
  Summary:  I wish yelp would allow in between star reviews cause the 1-5 scale is not very forgiving.  Honestly this is about a 3.5 to 3.75 star place that gets rounded up for being consistent.  A few tweaks to the menu, the food prep, and dialing the service just a little bit more are the only things holding Cafe One Ten back from a 5-star review.  At 4 stars, this is a definite recommended place in my book.
