Best restaurants near me in Oak Ridge, NC

I just had Christmas dinner at Print Works and it was fantastic. I've eaten here many times over the years and it's always been great and this was no different. The beef tenderloin was tender and delicious and the butterscotch creme brulee was to die for. The cocktails were definitely highlights of the experience as well. Special thanks to Jordan G for making my night so lovely!

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!
