Great little spot! The sandwiches are delicious—fresh, well made, and definitely the highlight here. The place used to have an amazing porch, but now it’s covered up. Still, the best part is heading out back. The backyard opens onto a valley that rolls into a lake, and the view is absolutely stunning—like looking at a living painting. I recommend grabbing a sandwich and sitting outside to enjoy the scenery. Simple food, unforgettable setting.

We stopped here for lunch and so glad we did. I got the turkey Panini which was really good and enjoyed the apple slices in it! My husband got the Reuben which he also liked. You order at the counter window. There is no table service and beer can selection is minimal (no draft) They also have wine and specialty cocktails. There's a nice view, if you can get a window table seat. We liked it here and will be going back.

I came by for a friday fish fry and it was delicious! The fish is juicy inside with a nice batter on the outside, the curly fries are tasty and the slaw had a ton of flavor! You order at the counter and bust your own table. Overall the vibe is pretty laid back.

Wonderful little food joint tucked out of the way. The menu was incredible and the staff was super friendly. It was a little stuffy inside with the windows closed. We chose to sit outside and we're not disappointed with the amazing views of the lake. Prices were quite friendly and the food was delicious. I really liked that they offer half sized appetizers. Something that more restaurants should do. Great selections of beverages, soft drinks as well as alcoholic options. Lots of different beers, wines and mixed drinks. I highly recommend the elf in the oak for anyone looking for a great spot for a delicious meal.

This place is a gem. The staff is friendly. The food is delectable. The sausage gravy was really good. The sugared waffles are tasty. The cinnamon buns were big and enjoyable. And the coffee was good.
