WELCOME TO THE OAKS LAKESIDE KITCHEN

Your Table is Always Ready.

Whether you’re joining us for a relaxed weekend brunch or an evening out any night of the week, The Oaks Lakeside Kitchen welcomes you. Locals and resort guests alike have made this their go-to table, a place where great food, a stunning setting, and genuine hospitality come together without pretense. Come as you are, whenever the mood strikes.

Lake Chatuge and the Blue Ridge Mountains serve as a tranquil backdrop, and a natural, manicured landscape of colorful gardens and meandering walkways invites you to arrive early and stay long after your last bite. The inviting interior blends wood, brick, and ironwork to create a casually elegant atmosphere, the kind that feels right whether you’re dressed up or straight off the lake.

The Oaks is a celebration of the diverse and substantial traditions of American cooking. Expect the enveloping warmth of comfort food done with care, and the quintessential joy of eating, drinking, and laughing with the people you love; this is The Oaks. Our menus are approachable and never pretentious, dramatically presented and artfully plated. Come for dinner and start with Pork Belly Bites or our signature Crab Cakes, then settle in for Braised Short Ribs, the freshest Salmon on the menu, or of course, The Oaks Filet. Weekend mornings bring a whole different kind of pleasure: Eggs Benedict, a hearty Kitchen Skillet Frittata, and Blueberry Pancakes worth making the drive for.

The Oaks also offers an extensive selection of hand-crafted cocktails, craft beer, and a curated American wine list, plus a full brunch bar with Bloody Marys and Mimosas to start the weekend right.
