Customer Reviews
I was excited to try breakfast at Oakwood Proper since they absolutely nail it on their burgers and fries. Breakfast is my favorite meal so having something atypical is a plus. Breakfast Fries. OMG. Portion is huge so sharing is a must. IMO could feed up to 4 people which makes it possible to enjoy other items. We got the Javelina sandwich and split it. You will want your own. Bacon was spilling out of it! These sandwiches would be great to take out and surprise the family. Interior is small but cool and retro with additional seating available across a small walkway. People are top notch. Menu is small but I suspect each item is perfect based on our visit.
Oakwood Proper may not have a huge storefront or a spot on Front Street where tourists pass by in waves, but that’s part of its charm. If you take a short detour down Garfield to 8th Street, you’ll spot it — a small pink building that’s hard to miss. That’s how I found it the first time, sitting at the light wondering, “What the hell is that pink building? What is Oakwood Proper?” If you’ve ever watched Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, you know he often says large menus rarely mean great food. He’ll strip a menu down to just a few things and make each one perfect. Oakwood feels like it took that advice to heart. Their menu isn’t large, but everything on it is done exceptionally well. I ordered The Oakwood, and at first glance, it was beautifully put together. It looked like something
Stopped here for dinner and it exceeded our expectations! Staff was very friendly and food was delicious. We enjoyed the specialty burgers, garlic parm fries and pickle beer, as well as the retro vibe!

The atmosphere is mid century ecletctic with a retro burger joint vibe. There is more room than it looks from the outside as indoor and outdoor seating is sprawling, including an outside bar. Service was incredible! Not only faster than most "fast food" restaraunts the food was incredible. The smashburgers were prepared perfectly and hand cut fries were plentiful and fresh. Highly praise for Oakwood Proper Burgers!!l. There is more room than it looks from the outside as indoor and outdoor seating is sprawling, including an outside bar. Service was incredible!

What a fun burger joint! Love the quirky decor and approach. The whole mid-century cove is fun and colorful. The staff is friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable. But this is a place you MUST experience.
