This is a dive bar that caters to locals. The food is low end in quality, and the service is worse. Four very toasted people at the bar, no one sitting anywhere else. The server and bartender were too busy chatting with the drunks to serve my drink or food. If you are a regular, you love it. If not, don’t waste your time.

Oak has been a staple in Palatine for a long time, and the pizza is definitely the best in town… but no question it needs work. I would still tell any patron to give it a chance. Even with somewhat unsavory environment, it is inexpensive, pizza is great, and the bartenders are attentive. It is a dive bar with good eats and cheap beer. If the atmosphere freaks you out just order your pizza for pickup.

We ordered 2 pizza’s for pick up. They gave us 30 minutes… we got there and no pizza’s ready… the excuse was they were busy? No way to run a business!

This place has a small bar type atmosphere though it is quite large inside. A group if us went late on a Sunday evening after a long day of work. Pizza was amazing. Had a family size sausage and pepperoni as well as a family size everything special. We also started with two baskets of cheese and nachos. There were 7 of us many with big appetites and we were stuffed(nachos were great also. Fresh chips and cheese). Note: there is no wait staff you place food orders at the kitchen and drink orders at the bar. As soon as we sat down a nice guy who was a regular let us know that.

Staff not friendly. Place sort of dirty. Food is slightly above averaged but priced as though it would be good. Drinks are too expensive for this type of bar. They do have lots of good TV’s if you want to watch sports without anyone bothering you.

Good, friendly old-timers type of bar. Super thin crust pizza at a good price. Has a familiar neighborhood feel, BUT someone should call the health department! The amount of dust CAKED onto the fan blades above the bar and tables is disgusting. The ceiling tiles may have been white at some point, but they are covered in thick, black dust/grease. This place would benefit from closing its doors for two days and a good scrubbing. Would hate to see this establishment close, but the owners really need to clean it up before I will return again.

This has got to be the worst place ever. Service sucks Ownership sucks everything sucks about this place. They have no good specials and worst of all the place is filthy its like a staff infection waiting to happen. If you don’t believe me, next time you go in Just look at the mirrors on the ceiling directly above the bar. For all of those who dig their pizza well let me tell ya the palatine health department cited them twice just this year for improper food storage violations. Its just to bad that the old man left it to his fat lazy son Mike when he died. they should have sold the bar hes driving the oak in to the ground… too bad

The people that work there have never been very friendly, but I always over looked that because it was the best pizza in town! I gave it two tries recently and unfortunately the pizza was terrible, very greasy. I was told that is is under new management. Off my list.

Just an average suburban strip mall bar. This is a sports bar and there is enough seating in here. I guess. The pizza is nothing special and this just seems like a boring place. the better bars in palatine are obviously downtown Palatine.

We are fans of this place because it is comfortable. Nothing fancy, good pizza, fair prices, lots of TVs, etc. Definitely worth a try to see if it your style.

Why do I come here? To eat cheap thin pizza and play electronic darts and possible catch a game or two. If this isn’t a local watering hole, I’m not sure what is. Don’t let its strip mall location fool you, inside it looks just like a little hole in the wall out in the middle of nowhere. The pizza is decent but also can take quite a long time. The dart games are fun but tend to fill up fairly quickly and from my last experience, they don’t really have a waiting list. The prices are reasonable and the everyone is generally pretty friendly. A lot of Corner Pocket folks make their way over here for some grub in between pool games.

Went to the bar before the Bears game. Barkeeper, a blond woman, very cold and unfriendly. Patrons were locals and did not seem very receptive to outsiders. No comment on food, did not try it.

Pizza is great-the best thin crust around. Oak chips with ranch dressing is addictive. Lots of locals, very chill – beer is sooo cold, just the way it should be. Bartenders could use some personality, but what they are lacking the pizza more than makes up for.

Limited menu but the pizza is all they need. The service is good and the prices are right.

I love the pizza at Oak Alley. The staff is «quirky». The blonde girl that’s there on Saturday nights is fast, friendly and personable! They hired a new girl that we met this past Saturday that was enjoying her first hour of work. Just before we finished our pizza the«bratty jerk» male bartender came in. He’s a slug… bothered the girls and was a waste of space. He acted as if he owned the place, waited on only a select few and was a true annoyance. Our bet was that he’s the owner’s son who can’t find a job anywhere else.
