The Oakk Room - Buffalo

The service began well but quickly declined. The bartender intentionally spilled a drink on me while I was ordering a refill and then informed another bartender, urging them to ensure I tipped more than I intended. To be fair, I was already tipping $2 on $5 drinks. I won't be returning, and although I enjoy supporting Black-owned businesses, I will definitely be passing on this one. It's time for improvements.

Went here for the first time with friends on a Wednesday night for dinner. The food was BANGIN! The chicken tenders, fish tacos, and salmon were all great. Same with mac n cheese and mashed potatoes. The garlic parm sauce for the tenders and the fish tacos sauce should be sold by the bottle. Service was good except for the fact that the meals came out almost 15 minutes apart.

This place was originally called the Weepingg Willoww Room, but the Weeping Willow outside the restaurant was found out to be an Oak tree, so they changed the name. I 'm not sure why they added the extra K, but as long as they don 't add one more K , I don 't think there will be any issues. I 'm a soul (food) man... I 'm a soul (food) man... but not so much in Buffalo. This place is not too bad, but I 've only ever been there really late when they were sold out of all their main dishes so I have to go back some time and give it an honest try. Rick James should own this place, because it 's Soul Food in his hometown of Buffalo, and Rick James released the soul classic Superfreak , later covered by Celine Dion and Kelly Clarkson. Actually I need to go here again and try it again because I 've had a lot of soul food experience since reviewing this place so my opinion may have changed. I know that McKenzie 's in the Broadway Market is amazing, whereas Gigi 's is good but not as amazing, and more of a Jamaican influence. I need to go back to this one and see how it compares. But what I do remember is that the Collard Greens were good, the sides were cheap, and everything I had from there tasted good.

I absolutely loved this restaurant! The food was fascinating and exceptional, and the atmosphere was incredibly welcoming. The chef even came out to greet us (we were just tourists passing through), and overall, it was a fantastic experience.

The restaurant has a dated atmosphere, but the staff creates a great vibe, and the music is really enjoyable. Seriously, it was a fantastic experience, and Curtis is super chill. If you decide to visit, I highly recommend spending a little extra for the country fried chicken; it's definitely worth it because the chef knows what he's doing. They've recently reopened and are working on reviving their brunch service, so keep an eye out for a good time!
