After being seated on my first visit, I noticed most of the menu items were generally $1 higher than many restaurants I have enjoyed that serve basically bar food/comfort food. Service was very fast for a lunch crowd. My first bite sent an immediate distress signal to my taste buds that it wasn’t how it was ordered. Our waitress took control and went to the kitchen where the inadvertent mistake had occurred. Within 3-5 minutes the waitress informed me that my order was being re-made. Subsequent visits by the lunch manager followed by the owner were timely and very apologetic. A simple non-damaging mistake took on the role of crisis central. Staffing in the service is next to impossible compounded by workers lack of desire to be trained by their piers. The staff at Red Oak is highly trained. Workers in the service industry are people too. Occasional bumps in the road are part of the highway. I would go back to this restaurant in a heartbeat. It’s well worth another buck.

We looked on Trip Advisor for a restaurant after dropping off my daughter at OSU Newark. Found the number one restaurant and decided to give it a try. Did not disappoint! Great menu choices for everyone, including vegetarians!! Highly recommend the onion rings, we're so amazing and hand dipped and fried at the restaurant. Service Great, prices reasonable, foot hot and fresh! Would recommend and will return!

I met an old friend at Red Oak Pub. It was very busy on a Tuesday night. We were seated and the waitress got our drinks. We then placed our orders, and were quite surprised that we got our meals as quick as we did. I ordered a house salad which was larger than I thought it would be, and was very good. Both of us had outstanding meals that night. My friend had chicken tenders that were grilled. It was best looking chicken tenders that I have ever seen served in resturant. I ordered the Oak Mash. It is a house-made meatloaf topped with mashed potatoes, asparagus with a special gravy. The gravy makes the dish. So glad I gave it a try! Overall. outstanding meal and service at a great price!

The outside patio was great. Our server was very friendly and efficient and we really enjoyed the live music. The drink were great but the food was average. We had burgers and fries, and the potstickers were good but seemed to be frozen and the mac and cheese is Kraft Mac and cheese.

The food is heavy-handed and simple but nicely portioned and reasonably priced. The boneless chicken appeared to be hand-breaded with a light flour/ cornmeal mix but was under-seasoned and over cooked. The bologna sandwich had a nice sear on the meat but was served on a soggy, greasy roll. The fried pickles were briny and flavorful with a thick breading that also appeared to done in house using a pickle spear instead of a pickle chip which was a welcome twist. The service is prompt and upbeat and still managed to be attentive to the crowd of regulars. It is worth a try but expect food that is closer to a chain restaurant than fine dining.

We arrived around 1:00 on a Saturday. It was relatively busy. We were greeted and a drink and appetizer was ordered. We came in anticipation of getting a great burger. The servers were working hard to take care of the customers requests and taking new orders. We received our appetizer quickly, unfortunately our sandwiches arrived 45 minutes later. The presentation of the sandwiches was great, however, the bun was tough and the burger and toppings were lukewarm at best. I ate half my burger and took the top off the half I did eat. My wife’s was the same. The accompanying side of sweet potato fries were way overcooked and cold. This was our second visit, we hoped for a better experience...but didn’t get one. If the wait hadn’t been so long I would have informed the server. For having such a high rating this was a real disappointing outing. A loss of $40+ to boot. In my opinion, not worth the effort!

A fine and varied pub-style menu. Good service. Fair prices. Great beer selection (I haven't had a Smithwick ale in years) A nice outside patio for those, like us, who are still nervous about inside dining. And there's plenty of hand sanitizer bottles available. We spend part of the year (18 and counting) in Nova Scotia, where seafood is impeccably fresh, so we're a bit particular about the quality of fish. The pub's generous serving of haddock was the best I've had in months and perfectly fried. House-made chips were first rate and a big side of fresh broccoli was lightly steamed and still crispy, though rather underseasoned. This is a place to put on your radar screen.

My DH and I came here for lunch on a Monday. The waitress was very attentive and the burgers are delish! I had the Red Oak burger and my hubs, the Blue Cheese Applewood, Bacon burger. Fresh meat, fresh ingredients and the brioche buns make for a tasty burger. We both feel the burgers were excellent. The beer battered fries and onion rings were really good as well. We are stuffed as the portion sizes are good sized. We will definitely be back.

I had the fish sandwich with fries and my wife had a burger with sweet potato fries. Our friends had fish n chips and a Reuben . Everyone was full, happy and satisfied. Plus good service and an outstanding selection of craft beers, made for an enjoyable outing.

Great food, excellent beer selection, good service. I ate lunch twice in a week because it’s that good. The first lunch was French onion soup and a salad with salmon. The French onion soup was not over salted like so many places do. The salmon was nicely cooked and delicious. My second lunch was a grilled bologna sandwich. It comes with a fried egg and bacon! Wow, was it good. The place is clean with plenty of servers so you don’t have to wait too long. I will be back.

We are visiting from out of town and stopped in for dinner! We were blown away by the great food! Danya gave us amazing service also. Had mile high nachos and fried bologna sandwich that had lots of house made ingredients. Highly recommend!

Nice family friendly pub/restaurant. Staff was friendly took order immediately. Did not rush us even with people waiting for a table. Food was very good and generous portions. Pricing was comparable to anywhere else. Waited awhile for check.

Great service and good food. Better than average sports bar with better than average bar food. Had the Red Oak burger on the pretzel bun and it was really good. Would definitely go back.

Food, service and atmosphere outstanding! We moved to Heath 9 years ago and our new neighbors said you were a must do. We have never once had a single dish that wasn’t delicious and potions are quite generous. We are seniors and have the bonus of taking home extras. Our kids and gkids love it also Tonight took my husband there for his 77th birthday and in addition to the delicious food, service was exceptional. We ate at the the bar and unfortunately I didn’t get the bartender’s name but he was professional, timed service like a pro (not his first rodeo) I don’t usually review much as we are not the target audience for most businesses (unless talking senior housing and funeral planning 😂) but jut had to point this out This is always what the experience is there!
