Our Story

The Black Oak Restaurant and Tavern opened on February 1, 2016 at 9630 S. Pulaski in Oak Lawn. Drawing it’s name from the earliest-known name for the Village of Oak Lawn, Black Oak Grove, the Black Oak brought life to the Park Lawn Strip Mall that had been vacant for years. The Black Oak is a family-friendly casual restaurant with upscale food and drink designed to connect neighborhoods and families. Started by residents from Oak Lawn Evergreen Park, and Beverly, the Black Oak is dedicated to giving back to the communities it serves and uplifting the neighborhood.
