Oak Tree Northwest Bar & Grill

  We were driving up I-5 for the better part of the day and desperately needed a lunch break at 2:30pm.  We didn't want to resort to fast food and thankfully found this place on the GPS.  We walked in to the 'Grill' side, passed the lovely blue aquarium and saw that there was only one table of patrons.  That got us a little worried but we were too hungry to find another place at that point.  
  
  Anyways, I ordered the chicken tenders with BBQ sauce with a salad side and my partner ordered the bacon cheeseburger with curly fries.  Sounded like there was only one person manning the kitchen, but the food came out fairly quickly.  Man, I didn't expect the food to be so good.  The chicken tenders were perfectly crunchy on the outside and juicy,  tender and flavorful on the inside.  The BBQ sauce was what sealed the deal..amazing smoky flavor with a nice spicy kick!  I tried to ask them what brand of BBQ sauce they use and the guy in the kitchen said they probably make their own because it's in an unnamed bucket...suspicious to say the least, but who cares, it's delicious!  
  My partner also didn't have any complaints about his burger (because it's got bacon!), and the fries were great as well.  
  
  Verdict is, found good food in the middle of nowhere.

  We stayed across the street from the Oak Tree restaurant, and had breakfast before we continued our trip north. What a delight! One of the best breakfasts I've had in years. Eggs, bacon, hash browns, and a huge drop biscuit, all done to perfection. Great staff, simple surroundings, and reasonable prices.

  Nice place but it is alright not the best place I have experienced, I watched our food sit on the counter waiting for the waitress to pick it up and bring it to us. My boyfriend was urged to go and get it for us because, the only thought I had was every second I wait for the waitress to bring us our food it is getting cold. That matters

  I really do enjoy the oak tree. The food is good and inexpensive. The staff is super friendly and accommodating.
  
  I usually get something with eggs bacon and toast, my mom likes this place too because they've never burnt her omelette.

  This place used to have the most insanely over-the-top nachos I'd ever seen. A veritable avalanche of empty calories comin' right atcha, for less than ten bucks! But the last couple times I've been there, it wasn't in the same category or even the same library.
  
  Nowadays, the place has the well-broken-in feel of a neighborhood greasy spoon diner, with all the amenities afforded by relatively cheap, plentiful booze. Sure there are better options in town--- there are better options in just about every direction. But it's a trusty standby even still, I've always had friendly, fast service there. You're just glad to know the Oak Tree is still there, still hangin' in there!

  Didn't even want to give them one star even tho we usually have a decent bar experience here. The table was filthy, the bar tender was super rude & told us "we'll just have to deal with it" because there were people sitting at the bar in the stools we first sat on even tho we just saw empty glasses. Oh and menus 20 minutes later after we relocated to a booth bc he made us feel so awkward. Ridiculous. Just wanted a gd cheeseburger.

  If you're into diner food, this is awesome!  We go here for breakfast because they have a TON of options and reasonable prices.  It's a really friendly place, and has a ton of cheesy decor that makes it one-of-a-kind in Ashland.  I'd at least try it if you're in the area.  Breakfast is my favorite.

  Great spot for games and the hottest bartender in Ashland. Food hits the spot and the food specials for the games are great.

  The food is OK.  Nothing spectacular--very blah in my opinion.  It's similar to Black Bear Diner if you've ever been there.  Maybe the place was just old, but it didn't appear to be exceptionally clean to me.  The menu is, as others put it, simple and straightforward.  Yes, the portions are big, but I'd rather have a smaller portion of better food.

  Generous portions and good value for family dining.  Walking distance from the Holiday Inn Express.  The menus are simple and straightfoward.  Nothing fancy.  The burgers, club sandwiches, french dip, and fish and chips were tasty and substantial.  The caesar salad could have used some fresher lettuce.

  VERY GOOD!!!  Many menu options (even healthy...or not, if you want!).  Service was great -- friendly, fast, and accommodating!  She even brought us a sample of their DELICIOUS homemade lemon cupcakes.  SO very tasty!!!

  Generous portions, great service & the BEST bloody marys in town! $2.50 for singles & $5.00 for doubles on Sat/Sun. Every game you can imagine and willing to put your game on!    
  Very accomodating to food allergies also.
  Thanks Gary and Crew!

  Mediocrity is the name of the game. The only person I know who likes this place is my grandmother and that's because it's "simple".
