Skog's - Oakland

While visiting my daughter in the area, I discovered a charming and high-quality restaurant in Oakland. I couldn't find any restaurants between Roseburg and Oakland that matched the level of this one. The owner personally introduced himself to me, as it is a family-run operation. I went back three times for breakfast because I couldn't resist their amazing beignets. One day, I tried their cream cheese pancakes with whipped cream, which were delicious. The house-made breakfast sausage was also a standout dish.

While passing through Oregon, my girlfriend and I stumbled upon Skog's and we are so glad we did! The owners greeted us and gave us a tour of the restaurant, bar, and the new concert/dance venue they are building in the back. The atmosphere was fantastic and everyone was very friendly. The food was exceptional. We started with delicious homemade beignets and mimosas. I had to take a work call so we stayed a bit longer and had lunch. I ordered the locally sourced, never frozen burger which was one of the best I've ever had. My girlfriend enjoyed the perfectly fried chicken tenders with a crispy exterior and juicy interior. For dessert, we had espresso shots with Neapolitan cheesecake, which was also amazing. I will definitely be recommending this place to everyone!

We were thrilled to discover this restaurant by chance! The entire experience was fantastic. What a hidden gem. They even had an outdoor patio where we could bring our dog for brunch. I adored the attention to detail both inside and out. I ordered the brioche stuffed French toast with cream cheese, which was absolutely delicious. The Bloody Mary was also fantastic, especially with the pickled asparagus. My partner had the chicken and waffles with a mimosa, and the chicken was perfectly cooked. Every dish we tried was spot-on! I wish we lived closer so we could come back more often. We will definitely be returning when we're in the area again.

Owner was so nice when we came in. They were crazy busy and he took the time to offer us a tour of the place. Such a nice atmosphere.

Great restraunt, under new ownership as of, i believe, 2020. The inside is huge and well decorated. Must try the lemon drop! We started with the calamari which was amazing, and their tarter sauce is some of the best I've ever had. (We eat ALOT of seafood. They also brought out these fried dough squares covered with powdered sugar and it was on the house! Very nice gal and her son running the place that day. Personable, friendly and helpful about the menu and made the best lemon drop drink. We went after 4pm, sorry no burgers after 4pm, but my husband got the braised short ribs with palente which I tried and was very very good (it doesnt look like alot of food but its very filling for even a grown man! And I got the pasta dish linguini with tiger prawns and garlic bread, also very good. Must try this restraunt if your in Oakland. Highly reccomend.
