Best restaurants near me in Oak Ridge, NC

As always, Printworks was wonderful! When we realized that we were going to have 8 y .o. granddaughter with us , I called to add a 5 th person. It was Christmas Eve, they added a chair at the end of our booth. They were really busy but they made it work for us. Our wait staff was professional, attentive and everyone was so very nice. The food and drinks for all, again were excellent! Thank you , Printworks , for making it work for us! You all are awesome!

A tradition for our family is to enjoy Christmas Eve dinner in a nice restaurant. Lucky 32 has been a family favorite since my son and daughter were kids. Now married with their own children, we are continuing that with the next generation. The food was delicious and service is always top notch.

The Green Valley Grill is just wonderful! We stopped by on our way back to Durham after visiting the Christmas light show at Kersey Valley Farms. I had been wanting to take my husband there after eating lunch with friends on a Greensboro day trip. The food did not disappoint, and the cocktails were some of the best we've ever had. We enjoyed a selection of small plates, and the crab-spinach dip was especially good, with the lovely sharp cheese balancing the slightly sweet crab and fresh spinach. The only hitch is that it was VERY BUSY when we arrived, and we were seated in a remote corner of the bar instead of the main dining room, despite having reservations. No biggie, I've worked in the food industry, so I get it. Our server overlooked us for about 15 minutes, and we got pretty hungry. So, my husband spoke briefly to the GM about getting some food, and then they overwhelmed us with attention and gave us one of the small plates at no charge. This is how you turn customers into loyal patrons. We would drive to Greensboro just to have dinner here -- it's that good!

Our Girl's group come here every year for Christmas, and the food is always great.

So glad we came across this hidden gem! Our food and service were great. Brendan, our server, was attentive, charismatic, and very knowledgeable of the menu. We enjoyed the seasonal salad and Brussels Caesar. The Margherita flatbread was fresh and flavorful. The shrimp and salmon was well-seasoned with a spicy kick. The spicy rigatoni pasta was flavorful and had just the right amount of spice. We loved the impressive spirits menu. The lemon cake was my light and not too sweet. Delicious! Looking forward to returning!
