My new favorite restaurant! We ordered all small plates and sides so we could try a lot of different food and everything we tried, and I mean everything, was delicious! Will definitely be back! The hogfather is amazing. The dilly beet salad is fresh and delicious. There is something for everyone here.

My son and I enjoyed a meal at Under the Oak this past Saturday. Our server was Keistopher and we couldn’t have asked for better service. He was upbeat, amusing, and accommodating. True five star service! Oh! And the food was pretty tasty, too. LoL

Under the Oak catering was the perfect addition to our big wedding day! Lara, the manager, was incredible to work with and helped me customize a menu for my wedding that created excellent food for a good price per head.
On the day of the wedding, her staff were so on point and all of our guests loved their cocktail apps and their meal. She was so accommodating and that is all anyone can ask for when planning a wedding.
Would recommend to our friends and family!

Under the Oak not only met but far exceeded our expectations for our wedding caterer. From start to finish, they were responsive, professional, kind, and so very accommodating. I have several food allergies, and they were able to make me/similar guests special dishes so that we could still enjoy most all the food. Lara went above and beyond helping us make sure our day went smoothly and was a delight to work with. Thank you, Under the Oak, for helping make our wedding day so unforgettable!

Love the all wood decor. Staff was friendly and informative. Bacon Cheddar Cheeseburger and Sweet Potato Salad were fantastic!
Will go again. Really want to do one of their fancy dinners and try some desserts next time!

Catering was a top priority for our wedding and after our tasting with Chef Blake, we stopped our search and immediately hired Under the Oak. Chef Blake made us feel welcome and comfortable and his food speaks volumes about his talent! The food is beyond amazing and left all of our family and friends full and happy. We also hired his wife, Megan (I Do Cakes), to make our wedding cake and mini desserts -- our cake was gorgeous and everything was delicious. Additionally, the waiters and bartenders were professional and did an amazing job!

This is our absolute favorite place in Smithfield. Take out is amazing, the coursed out meals are so impressive, and their catering also looks unreal. We will keep coming back again and again- it almost gets… better each time we go! We also plan to have them cater our wedding once things get closer to normal. I recommend everything about them!

Best food in Smithfield! Definitely farm to table. Fair chance your salad greens were harvested the same day. Same with the entree veggies and herbs. Food here is always a palate-pleaser. People here are always friendly!

Great place. House made charcuterie, etc. Unique sandwiches and sides. I had 5 guys with me, and there was no food left on any plate. I had the pressed dip sandwich and it was terrific!! Great service and food. Check it out!!

Our highest recommendation for an extra special culinary experience provided by Under the Oak Cafe!! Offering a terrific value and quality range of menu options, the owners are a talented young couple (chef Blake and wife, Megan of @idocakesnc) who provide farm-to-table, five-star goodness for every palette, including vegetarian (V) and gluten free (GF) items. Convenient to locals in Smithfield and Clayton and a worthy destination from the Raleigh area as well as to travelers off of I-95, your made-to-order lunch will be served by their friendly staff within six minutes and your multi-course dinner

There was one thing we knew for sure about vendors for our wedding day, that was our caterer: Under the Oak Catering. Since my husband had worked with Blake in the past, he knew that they were the only people he could trust to cater his wedding. We loved their dedication to local and sustainable ingredients, and they were more than happy to work with our family style menu. From the perfect cocktail hour with grand charcuterie display and passed appetizers, to the salads, and finally the entrees and sides, everything tasted delectable. To this day we are told it is the best wedding food our guests
