This place is incredibly convenient if you are staying overnight at VIR. The food was really good and really expensive, around $15 for a burger. The staff was nice and went out of their way to do a great job.

A beautiful building and location, Oak Tree managed a birthday group of more than 20 quite well. One entre was missed / forgotten but was provided later as take out at no charge. Portions were large enough that no one left hungry. Will definitely go back.

We had 6 people. Restaurant is a lovely restored 1800's house. Seating area was very nice. Service was great. Smaller list of main dishes. 2 ordered the fried chicken, perfect. 2 ordered the chicken pie - very tasty with a tender fluffy crust. Great selection of regional beers. Liked the butter toasted bread with apple butter for desert.

Offerings too limited Prices too high Hours unpredictable The service depends on who shows up for work The ambiance is great if you can get past the rest We are here Thursday to Sunday. The Tavern was only open Friday evening.

This is a pretty casual dine despite the exterior and storied nature of the building.The menu is limited to sandwiches and salads.

Ate dinner here two nights. The menu is limited but what they offer is superb. Most nights the menu is burgers, barbeque sandwich, chicken sandwich or salads. That doesn't sound like much but the items are prepared to an extremely high standard. The fried green tomatoes as an appetizer are excellent.On friday and saturday the chef prepares a choice of two entrees, in addition to the items above. Basically you are coming to the chef's house for dinner. Our choices were a rib eye which most of my group had.The alternative was chicken and waffles which I selected. If a five star restaurant ever served chicken and waffles this is it. The fried breast chicken was cut up into strips The waffles were actually sweet potatoes cut up in waffle style. I don't know how to describe the sauce that was drizzled but it was amazing. The best part was real maple syrup infused with a touch of jalapeno. It was just enough for a spark not overly hot. Once of the best meals I ever had. I can't wait to go back someday.

I've been coming to VIR for years and am super disappointed with the Tavern these days. The menu is tiny, the food is bad, they are understaffed, etc. When options are limited (VIR is a 20 minute drive from anything worthwhile), they need to have some decent food option. Prior to the new VIR ownership, you used to be able to come to the tavern after a day on track, get a decent steak cooked to order, some delicious sides, good apps, and it wasn't crazy priced either. I gave the tavern a shot a week ago and the burger I ordered was one of the worst I've had...ever. Until VIR gets their $#@& in order, I'd recommend either bringing your food or making the trip to Millies for pizza or Danville for a real dinner.

Beautiful location, but I went away from dinner two nights in a row hungry and unsatisfied. The weekday dinner menu is really weak, the service is quite slow, and on the second night my pulled pork somehow tasted like fish. The service folks were nice, but given the prices, I was disappointed.

Very disappointed in the menu at Oak Tree Tavern. There were a few appetizers and salads, 5 sandwich selections and 2 dessert selections. This was a Wednesday night so you would expect it to be a little slower, but I remember the crowds that use to show up for the shrimp and wings specials. No one was on the patio, very few in the bar and only 3 reservations inside the restaurant. The food was good but $52.00 for 2 sandwiches, 1 beer and 1 mixed drink??? (and that doesn't include the tip). Our server was great. I noticed there haven't been any reviews since 2021 and that one was unfavorable. I won't be back unless they improve their menu offerings.

great location, beautiful building but the food here has a lot left to be desired... if you have time I'd go to Danville by the river for decent food but 20 min away . the staff are friendly though

The place itself is actually amazing and very beautiful. They had a buffet instead of a regular menu I am assuming it was due to the races being held at VIR. The food was okay, they had a Cajun theme buffet with only 6 items to choose from and a premade salad. The shrimp boil didn't have a lot of flavor and the sausage and rice was cold and also lacking flavor. There were 3 different types of cupcakes and mine was a little dry. The food was okay but for the price it was not quite what I expected. Be prepared it is a little pricey. Though it was a buffet and the server only brings you drinks they do add 20% gratuity to your bill for a party over 6. Our server made around 80.00 in tips for our table alone and she brought 10 drinks to the table and took away one set of plates since we didnt go back for seconds. I have no issues with places doing gratuity however i am not quite sure 80.00 for 10 people who are getting their own food from the buffet was worth going back to eat there. I have definitely had better food at cheaper prices. The waitstaff was friendly and of course like I said a very pretty setting. I think I would like to try the actual menu to make sure it wasn't just a fluke experience. ?

This place is in a really nice, old plantation style house on top of a hill. I've never eaten in the dining room area, but have dined in the bar more than a few times. Whenever we go to VIR, we always have at least one dinner there. The food is great and the service is excellent. Wouldn't be a race weekend without at least one meal there.

Nice atmosphere, very good service, clean facilities, BUT, the dinner menu during the week is mostly sandwiches. We heard that the weekend menus are full entree.

I am Gluten sensitive...only 2 items on menu I could eat. Food choices were bar food, we expected fine dining, so very disappointed.
