    Really reasonable prices, great coffee and a nice selection of food, everything from the typical baked goods to fondue!

    Sort of stale coffee sitting in those large thermoses all day. It's a bit livelier than On What Ground on Lincoln, but it has a chain feel to it. Nothing interesting going on here. They don't bake their own goods, which would be fine if they sourced from somewhere good; however, I must comment on the chocolate chip cookie that I purchased. I think someone is really taking the word chip a bit too literally, go ahead, add more than one (see picture). If you're feeling really chipper, you might go for three!

    So I'm all for supporting local businesses and this place is pretty great. Good selections for vegetarians, cheap for a half sandwich, nice quality bread, and fluffy looking baked goods. I got a strawberry, cheddar, spinach honey mustard sammie on whole wheat. My girlfriend got a yummy pizza bagel. The macaroni salad was unique and tasty. The coffee is super cheap and pretty tasty. They support a couple nice causes and encourage using your own container which is a nice feature. Service was a little slow but that's the price you pay for local spots that don't microwave the food. If you're on the road, nice quick off and on option if you want to avoid grease.

    Great sandwiches! We stopped here driving down 81, the food was great and the service quick and friendly. Not to knock Panera, but comparing our meals for the day, Big Oak had better ingredients and more sides and for a better piece. Not many vegetarian options but since you can build your own sandwich i just swapped out a few ingredients based on their creative pairings. My only suggestion would be for them to have silverware rather than individually wrapped plastic ones to reduce waste.

    Prices are great here. Sandwiches are usually very good but a couple have been average. The sandwich with Brie and apples is great, but the Meadow wrap was mediocre. My husband really likes the Mainstream and the Signature sandwiches. Our favorite is always the chocolate fondue- huge portion and SO good!

    My mom and I enjoy coming to the Big Oak Cafe for lunch sometimes. But beware, it gets very busy from about 11:30 to 12:30! The Big Oak Cafe is attached to the Butcher Shoppe. The big parking lot out front will fill up, both establishments do quite a business. The menu at the Big Oak Cafe features a lot of sandwiches or wraps. Cute and clever names with a description of everything that's on it. You can get a half or a whole. You can also choose a side with your sandwich. If you like potato salad, I highly recommend that as it is divine. They make it on-site and it is so very good. They also serve some breakfast items now, and they're served all day. I've tried a breakfast sandwich and it's wonderful. Ingredients used are always so fresh and lovely. Fruits and veggies are fresh, crisp, and flavorful. They really care about what they use in their foods. The coffee at the Big Oak Cafe is quite tasty, too. You can get a real mug if you're dining in, or several sizes of to-go cups. They will punch a leaf in the paper sleeve of the cups which you can re-use and keep getting it punched, which eventually earns you a free coffee. For those with a sweet tooth, beware, their sugary delights are awesome! They bake it all right there and only use high quality ingredients. We asked them once if they use high fructose corn syrup in anything, and they said no. No baked goods contain that ingredient. The Cafe is a moderate size, with booths and tables. It can get pretty crowded in there. It's warm and inviting with dark colors. It's a great place for lunch with friends or a family member, or even a business lunch. You order your food and beverages at the counter, pay, and they hand you a number to place on your table. Food is brought to you when it's ready. The service has ALWAYS been great. The staff is super friendly, patient, helpful, and always have a smile. Employees must be treated well to always be that pleasant. I'm a big fan of the Big Oak Cafe. Whether it's just for coffee or it's for lunch, I highly recommend it.

    So-so. Coffee will not knock your socks off or make you thirst with desire... A sandwich and chips that offer nothing more special than you can whip up in your kitchen. The interior is very nice along with patio seating. WiFi is a big plus.

    Friendly service, delicious food! Try the vintage, it's awesome! They have a nice beverage list, hot and cold, didn't have time to try one but if we go back in the future we will. We called our food in ahead of time and took it to go so we had no wait time.

    For all you/us out-of-towners, the Big Oak is the café/restaurant attached to The Butcher Shoppe. Seating: Booths, tables for two, tables for several, and a few tall chairs at a counter. There is way more seating than is immediately visible when you come in through the front, i.e., by the counter where you place your order. The whole place is shaped like a rectangle with a bottleneck in the middle by the restroom (a unisex, one-at-a-time affair), so head away from the counter for the rest of the seating. If you come in through the back, i.e., through Ye Olde Butcher Shoppe, you'll already be passing through this seating area on your way to place your order. This room has a faux fireplace with a flatscreen above the mantle, tuned to sports when I was there (with the volume down, I think). -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --this way to/from The Butcher Shoppe O R | -- -- -- -- D | S I T H E R E | | | | O R H E R E E | | | WC | R | (TV but no fire) | | | | | -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- front door -- -- (The diagram above looks good in Arial 12!) They advertise free wifi, and when we arrived around 12:30 I did see one person with a laptop presumably hanging on from the more contemplative morning hours. If you're a laptopper I'd definitely recommend you prepare yourself to be overwhelmed by the lunch crowd. The place was packed to the point that people had started to hover, waiting for tables. After you order you get a number and wait for the food to find you. We were told that our drinks might be be ready first and that if we heard them shouting our number we could come get them; however, in this case the drinks were delivered to us (before the sandwiches). The person who took our order was friendly and helpful, and our order came out quickly enough considering it was the middle of lunch chaos. They offer lots of sandwiches with odd names, fully described in the menu (print and online). I hear the "Meadow" wrap is super, especially the dressing on the greens. If you want to name the ingredients in your sandwich, ask for a "Standard." My Standard was a good, solid sandwich, not too big and not too small--though in Chambersburg I might have expected more for the price ($6.95). But the times, I hear, they are a-changin', even in Chambersburg, and to be fair the sandwich I ordered -- roast beef, swiss, lettuce, tomato, and mustard on pumpernickel since they were out of or don't carry rye -- was not nearly as fancy as the ones suggested on their menu which might be more worth the price. The Baked Potato soup: it's like they turned a baked potato into a soup. It's creamy and heavy, and it even has bits of bacon. Try the mango-orange-juice iced tea, which is very/too sweet -- though I think it would make a great Thai-(ish)-style iced tea. Next time I'll add some half and half from the coffee bar.

    I grabbed a medium "Shoppe" coffee and ordered a half "Royal" sandwich. Coffee was well brewed and sandwich was very well made. Atmosphere was clean and comfortable. I'd definitely return.

    Place to go for coffee & chocolate fondue ~ the kids DIG this soooo much and have been "forcing" me to take them there for years. OK, so they don't exactly have to force me. Priced PERFECT! It's a treat! If you call ahead they'll have it ready for you!!

    I know a lot of you are going to say that I'm not doing them justice.... But here's the reason that I'm giving them a 2 (for this visit...normally they would be a 4 or 5. I went in they tonight to get a meal and was promptly waited on.... then it when downhill... I paid for my sandwich (small Satisfaction....Meatloaf, Farmers Cheese, Lettuce, Mild Peppers, Spicy Tomato Preserves on White Bread) I asked for wheat bread and and a mango citrus cooler I asked that my order be "for here". I sat down and a few moments later the person that waited on me came to my table and informed me that "they were out of meatloaf"....So I had to decide on another sandwich...I decided on the Stacker ...Roasted Turkey Breast, Baked Ham, Bacon, American Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Mayo, Brown Mustard on White Bread. I was brought the sandwich (with Wheat bread..which was fine it what I wanted on my original order. My meal was brought to me in the "to go" container and I had to ask for my drink to be made. I then had to wait for my mango citrus cooler too be made. The food was good and the service was ok I guess I just was not impressed as to what I have seen from them before.
