Enjoy Family Dishes at Our Family Restaurant

The 1940’s were a time of great changes in the Unites States. It was in this environment that Johnny and Mary Metcalf took over a twenty year old diner called the  Oakwood Cafe and moved it downtown Dalton Georgia, where it still operates today over sixty years later.

Not much is the same in America as it was sixty years ago, but one thing has not changed. People love to enjoy a great homemade meal in a friendly family restaurant, and Oakwood Diner provides the ideal setting for both. Each meal starts with your choice of a wide selection of some of the best meats around including Georgia’s finest BBQ, all served with the perfect complement of your choice of homemade southern vegetables and sides. One taste and you will understand why we say with confidence “If you don’t feel like family, let us know.”

A Higher Mission

There was a time in America where Sunday was a day of rest, a day spent at church, and with family and friends. It was a day to reflect on what is really important in life and to recharge your batteries. Oakwood Cafe was founded with these traditional values and they continue to be our guiding principles today. Our mission is to be a community eating and meeting place serving fresh, homemade breakfast, lunch and dinner meals in a family restaurant with the upmost purpose: to glorify God.

Closing on Sunday is one of the ways that Oakwood Cafes honor God. An active involvement in the community, charitable organizations, and local churches are equally important. Every location is required to host charitable functions during the year as a method of giving back to the community that supports them. In addition to this, hosting local fundraisers for community organizations and sharing the profits is yet another way Oakwood Cafes prove they are committed to both God’s word, and a thriving community.

Ultimately, Oakwood Cafes, under the right team, can become places that are more than restaurants. They can become places where the dreams and hopes of families and communities are strengthened and supported.
