Original American Kitchen (oak)

We visited Dec. 22 and the food and service was awesome!! Mahi and shrimp and grits were to die for! Our waiter was great and we never had an empty glass. Highly recommend !!

We went to Gainesville FL, trying to escape hurricane, Irma. Eric who is the owner kept the place open until the very last minute to ensure everyone had food. He kept people with their minds away from the storm and gave us a little solace in such a scary time. In times of need is when you see people rise to the top and give their best. Eric thank you for your dedication to all of your customer, the incredible service and superb food and the great Sangria. People like you make America great

Such a tasty small town treat! Would not hesitate to visit this spot again. Friendly servers with indoor and outdoor seating. I got the fried chicken and it was bit dry but pair it with the garlic mash you won’t regret it. Dessert options are great and bread pudding can’t be beat. Don’t miss happy hour!!

The OAK is a really special and very well organized restaurant. They are good vegetarian options there to get some healthy food. Will definitely come back when I’m in Gainesville.

Visited tonight for dinner as my fiancé and I were passing through. This particular neighbourhood is inundated with dining establishments. I ordered a Captain and Coke, and she had a Black Widow cider to drink. We shared an order of Buffalo Style Cauliflower to start. My fiancé ordered Braised Boneless Ribs and I had a Beet and Arugula Salad with Candied Pecans and Goat Cheese topped with Angus Steak (upcharge) Our meals were served quickly and were flavourful. The portion sizes did not disappoint. The prices were slightly North of Average but not totally unreasonable. Our waitress Amanda was great. She was fun, attentive and professional. She even helped us find our hotel for the evening. We would not hesitate to return to Original American Kitchen. Thank you!
