"We found this place while we were out on an adventure and absolutely do not regret finding this little gem! A very attentive staff and the FOOD was AMAZING! I had the turkey Cuban sandwich and LOVED EVERY LAST BITE! My wife had the veggie plate with beans, mashed potatoes, fried okra, and squash casserole. I personally don't eat fried okra, but my wife said it was GREAT! She said it didn't seem like the frozen kind at all! Oh! I almost forgot to mention the coleslaw!!! Their coleslaw ranks as some of the best in my book! Finely cut and a little sweet! All-in-all, this restaurant was a WONDERFUL FIND, and we look forward to going back and eating there again!"

"Oakwood Cafe doesn’t just raise the bar—it ends the conversation about what a great restaurant should be. They nail every single detail: lightning-fast service, genuinely kind and professional staff, exceptional food, and prices that feel almost impossible for the quality you’re getting. The food comes out shockingly fast without ever sacrificing execution. The open kitchen is a huge statement of confidence—immaculate, organized, and clearly run by people who take pride in what they do. Cleanliness here is on another level, and it shows in both the operation and the food. We were in Dalton on business and ended up eating here every single day of our trip. Once you experience what’s possible here, every other restaurant feels like a waste of money. Especially in an economy where costs are spiraling out of control and so many places are cutting corners or taking advantage—Oakwood Cafe does the exact opposite. They deliver incredible value, honest pricing, and top-tier quality all at once. This place is simply marvelous. Oakwood Cafe doesn’t just earn your business—it earns your loyalty."

"I am so glad I found this restaurant. I wanted an authentic country dinner and this place was exactly what I was looking for. Yes, the food is as good as it looks in the picture. I loved their large selection of sides — clearly I couldn’t pick just two (that came with my bbq pork) I had to get a whole veggie plate of 4 more. My favorites were the corn casserole and Mac and cheese. SO yummy! The atmosphere is cute too. Will definitely be back!"

"I absolutely love this place. Best place to go for a home cooked meal, and the sweat tea is delicious. The prices are my favorite part! You can get a whole meal under $10. Each day, they have a special veggie option and entree option. They also have a regular menu that dowant change. The service is really good. The workers are always friendly & attentive. They keep the place very clean. We come here about once a week!"

"My family is on a mini vacation in the area and decided to try Oakwood Cafe for dinner tonight based on menu and previous reviews. It was exactly what we were wanting - casual, home style food. We were impressed that our food came out really fast! Service was good. Food tasted fresh and we all got our favorites. Three of us had dinner, drinks, and dessert for about $50."
