“Meat” this month’s monster burger!

We’re competing in for the month of May with "The Cowboy." 🤠 It’s a 6oz ground chuck patty topped with house-made BBQ pulled pork, jalapeño bacon cream cheese, fried onions, and an onion ring, all piled high on a sweet potato cheddar jalapeno bun dressed with Cowboy mayo and shredded lettuce. And as if that wasn’t enough, we’ve topped it off with a breaded fried pickle spear and a red hot chicken wing 🤤

We’re opening up May 10th for a mother's day only brunch. We’ll be pouring the "momosas" all morning and if you haven’t tried the mimosa flights yet you’re missing out.

We’ve got the Smoked Salmon Bennies and French Toast ready for the adults plus a mini breakfast for the kids so you don’t have to share your plate. It’s always a busy one so give us a shout at the restaurant to snag a table before they’re all gone.

Call us at (250) 856-0899 to grab a spot.

It’s actually nice out. Like, "don't need a jacket" nice. ☀️

The patio is open and the sun is finally here. We just finished the new cocktail menu and it’s basically spring in a glass, honestly, the Strawberry Basil Smash (with that ampersand gin) is the one you want if you’re sitting out there today.

If you’re coming down this weekend, we have the Blackberry Gin & Lychee Martini ready too. It’s got that sharp grapefruit hit that works perfectly when it’s hot out.

Quick one: Mother’s Day is coming up faster than it looks. We’re doing the brunch again, so if you want a spot for her, grab a table now before they’re all gone.

See you in the sun.

While we wait for the next warm streak to hit it is a great time to head inside and catch up over a meal.Our Santa Fe Cajun Chicken Salad is the perfect pick-me-up right now since it’s fresh and has just the right amount of heat. It goes great with a cold pint and some good company while you stay cozy.Come say hi and grab a seat! 🍻

Hoppy Easter from the Oak 🐣 CLOSED
We’re taking a break this Easter Monday to spend some time with our families.

If you’re looking for a spot to grab a drink while we’re closed, our friends at Red Arrow Brewing are open. It’s a good chance to try their new beers to have them at the Oak on our Red Arrow Fridays!

If the sun is out, Jakes at the Lake is also ready for you to grab a seat by the water and enjoy some time with your family!

The crew will be back at the Oak on Tuesday. Have a good long weekend.
