We tried the chef’s special for lunch and had a mixed experience. The starter was excellent, burrata with balsamic, arugula, and a light sweet strawberry-style dressing. It was fresh and delicious (I used the dressing sparingly as it’s quite sweet). The salmon main was cooked well, nice and flaky. The mashed potatoes were just okay, and the capers salsa was an interesting touch that worked well with the fish. Unfortunately, the service was incredibly slow and struggled to keep up with the breakfast/lunch rush. Many tables around us stayed dirty for a long time. I left 20% anyway, but it felt generous given the wait times. The decor is lovely and the food has real potential, but the service needs improvement to match. We’d consider returning for the dishes but with lower expectations for timing.

We found this place down the street from our hotel for breakfast. It is located in th he Laura Hotel. The decor inside has a nice pastel green color interior. It is a sort of a reminiscent of a 60s diner a bit. The food was ok and the price price was higher than other restaurants so honestly, I didn’t felt like it was great so I would not seek to return.

Despite not being a guest at The Laura, I was welcomed warmly at Hull & Oak and given the best service imaginable. The food is delicious and filling, and the portions are great too. On this day, I was headed to catch a coach to San Antonio, and the lovely Tanisha let me sit at my table until it was time to leave. Spectacular ambience, warm service, and great food. Couldn’t ask for anything more!

Was in this side of town for some business, looked up Google for breakfast joint and I was drawn to the high star 🌟 reviews. Yes, it lives up to the hype. Came in at 0800ish, the Hull & Oak had many seats available. People wore mostly business attire. The server that helped us was Ms. Toni she was very sweet and welcoming, giving off southern charm just like the food they offer here. My husband ordered biscuits and gravy, I got the challah French toast and side of potatoes. They were all incredibly good. Biscuit tasted light and fluffy, gravy tasted balanced. The potatoes were small Yukon golds perfectly seasoned with hint of butter. French toast was divine with the berries and pecans on top. It was a delicious breakfast and I made up my mind that I would come here again when in town. Service and food was 5 🌟

I just had a fabulous breakfast at Hull and Oak…. Fresh brewed coffee was fantastic !!!! Had the amazing peaches and cream waffle…. This place has a great vibe. I love the counter that you could sit at and my server, Ms Toni is incredible. She made me feel like home…. I just landed from Fort Lauderdale and wanted a great breakfast to start my trip. I was not disappointed.
