Wife and I ate lunch here on a Thursday. Not very busy, seated quickly, and had our food done pretty quickly too. We had a good view of the lake. We both had burgers. Hers was plain, I had the Bourbon BBQ burger. Both were good. Our mozzarella sticks were large but very bland. No seasoning to them. Personal preference really. We would definitely eat here again.

We’ve been on this lake for years, and let’s just say we’ve tried just about every dock-and-dine spot around—but The Pier (and The Back Porch) at Oakwood keep pulling us back in. Literally. Half the fun is pulling up by boat, tying off, and walking straight into a laid-back, lake-loving atmosphere with surprisingly great food. Great views, casual setting, friendly staff and good vibe. Whether you’re grabbing lunch in flip-flops after a morning cruise or meeting friends for drinks at sunset, it hits just right. The view from the back porch? Great. The vibe? Chill. And the food? Better than you’d expect from a place this easygoing. Solid burgers, great apps, fresh salads, sushi and cocktails that don’t skimp. Locals know this is a go-to for summer evenings, and they do a great job balancing the crowd—families, groups of friends, couples on date night—it works for everyone. Service is friendly, and the staff is used to the lake crowd (read: unbothered by kids in swimsuits and towels).

We had the best experience tonight with our server, Stephanie. She is cheerful, quick & gracious. I'll be sure to request her next time. The food taste & presentation was exceptional & the atmosphere was peaceful. We also really enjoyed the music. Oakwood is grand.

Amazing food and beautiful outdoor dining! Service was prompt and friendly, food was delicious and worth the price, overall experience was excellent! Dessert was the only thing we wouldn’t reorder. Highly recommend the Goat cheese bruschetta (even if you don’t like goat cheese). The surf and turf and the Jamaican platter were amazing. Stacey was a great server. Will definitely be back!
