Big Oak Cafe

One of the best breakfasts I had. Lovely place open early for breakfast. Freshly made comfort food, everything was delicious! Friendly service. I ordered the Chipped Beef over Toast Points since I never had it before. All breakfast plates come with two sides, except the Breakfast Bowl. The side order of sausage was slightly spicy which I obviously loved it. The side order of Chicken Biscuit was made with real chicken tender, homemade biscuits was really good. Egg Benedict was on daily special. It served with sliced ham. My husband has Omelette. If you are in Urbana, make sure you give it a try.

Great little place. Food, service, good size portions and lovely atmosphere! We will definitely be going again. My husband is a connoisseur of soft shell crabs, he said these were the best he has ever eaten, including the ones he cooks himself. We can’t say enough good things about this establishment!

Very attractive and relaxing atmosphere, very welcoming. The food is very good and there is too much of it: of course this would not be a problem if one could stop eating! Open until 2 PM for lunch, reopens at 5 PM for dinner. Crabcake is large and very plausible; it is served with one side, a variety of which are available. There are a number of seafood items available, several shrimp preparations and several scallop preparations, all of which sound very appetizing. During my visit the dining area was comfortably full, mostly of senior citizens as I am. Beer and wine are available, but so is water, iced tea, lemonade and coffee. Desserts disappear rapidly, perhaps well before 2 PM—just a suggestion! I did not see the dinner menu, but the photographs of rare roast beef from other reviewe

Went here after recommendation from family. Had to wait 30 minutes for the food but it was extremely busy that day. Our server Lucien was attentive. He got everything we asked for and was very polite! I had a crab cake sandwich. Tasted fresh and tasty. I would recommend to try their bread pudding. My highlight was our amazing server!

Was driving back from vacation and needed some food to hold me over for the last half of our trip. I really liked the food and the portion was perfect. I was able to eat it all and not be over filled. Fair price for what I got and was able to feed all 4 of us. I will likely make my way to this little place on another visit from my parents house.
