Oakland Diner

Diners are the best. Prices, service are great. After the lunch rush and with the place nearly empty, I popped in. Friendly, efficient staff. The waitress & I joked while my order of biscuits and gravy was being made. And it was the good sausage gravy & not the weak, bland milk gravy. Music was in the background as it should be. Tables all clean, condiments organized. The biscuits were warm & fluffy, the gravy was tasty. The one GLARING downside: a tip is automatically added to the bill! Not cool ???? And per the staff, starting Feb. 1, 2025 (next week) there will also be a surcharge added. So I dropped the atmosphere rating & the overall rating for those items alone. Would've been 5 stars otherwise.

Fast and friendly service, amazing food and amazing staff. I’ve never had a bad experience here. Definitely me and my girlfriend’s go to place, trying to slowly go through each menu item together.

Really nice brunch place. We come from Canada and felt very welcomed right when we got into the diner. Its very cozy and definitely not busy at all. We came on a Saturday afternoon and the waiterress had lots of patience and was very kind. The food was delicious and there was lots of good sides that come with basically everything. Everything seems very clean and the prices are reasonable. Strongly recommend coming here.

Food was delicious service from Ashtin was great she checked on us several times and made us feel welcome. Thank you looks like this is a hidden gem. If we are ever back in Pontiac again this will definately be a go to spot.

What really stood out was the family-friendly vibe — it's the kind of place where you feel like you’re part of a bigger community. The diner was clean, cozy, and well-maintained, which made for a pleasant dining experience. Overall, Oakland Diner is a fantastic spot for a casual meal with loved ones. Whether you're looking for a quick bite or a relaxed family brunch, this place offers great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend!
