Dean's Bakery Oak Ridge

A real jem in Oak Ridge. Great atmosphere, service, value, and the best Soulful. Southern. Comfort. around. Ask for Dee Dee, she'll take care of that hangry partner of yours!

This place was incredible. Quick service and amazing food. The wood grilled squash was amazing. Will definitely be coming back.

My brother and I had lunch here soon after our Dad passed away. The staff are very friendly and personable. The waitress, Samantha, knew of our loss and was very sympathetic and encouraging. I plan to visit here very frequently and am very glad I had this experience.

Oh my gosh, where do I start. Our waitress was Tonya and she was phenomenal. Great suggestions that were spot on. First off, the tea is sweetened with orange juice. We tried it at the end of the meal and it was actually very good. That shocked us. The cornbread has just a hint of sweetness and the rolls were great. I did not add any butter, my wife did. On to the main course. My wife got pork chops at the suggestion of the waitress and in 32 years, she has never gotten pork chops. She was soooo glad she did. The au gratin potatoes...BAM! Awesome. Pint-sized were good. There's just not a lot to do with those. For my meal, I got the pot roast. It was great for restaurant pot roast. Tender, juicy, flavorful. Just needed a little salt. I also got the grilled squash and no I want to try this. Lots of flavor. The star of my plate was the corn pudding. Oh my gosh. I could have gotten that 3 times and still wanted more. Finally moving on to dessert. There are so many choices. We got it down to the German Chocolat cake, carrot cake or Italian cream cake. So we went with Tonyas suggestion since she was spot on with the meal. Italian cream cake won. If we would have been going g straight home, we would have bought an entire cake. It was that good. Great food that was served hot and an attentive waitress to match the quality. Again, this was worth the hour drive!!!

Initial disclaimer. If you're vegetarian probably not the place for you, they have a couple salads so you won't starve but your carnivore friends are going to make you feel left out. My dining guests Raved about their dishes. Both at the table and the entire ride back. Evidently the food here could make your grandma jealous. Beyond that, the staff was super friendly and attentive. I'd go back with friends just to watch their expressions.
