Description: We are located in historic Jackson Square. This property once housed Jackson Square pharmacy. After 55 years in the same family this property became available because the previous owners wished to retire. We were lucky to get it. We renovated and tried to keep as much of the original charm as possible. We hope you like it.

It's good. Go here. I've been looking for a good home style catfish and greens place. I found it. Top it off with an excellent salad and coconut pie.

Found Deans on Trip Advisor. The food was to die for. Excellent portions, fantastic flavor and quality! I had the Pot Roast with 3 sides. The Pot Roast melted in your mouth and the portion was HUGE! The sides were not from a can. Wood fired asparagus and again, a lot of it plus new potatoes in butter and a... More

We ate dinner at Dean's and everything we ordered was good. The home-made fries, however, would have been a lot better if not so salty. Dean's does not serve wine, but you can take your own; however, there is a $2 per person fee for wine glasses. This is not an unusual charge, but the server didn't mention the fee;... More

Everything about Deans is first rate. Great food, fast, friendly service, nice atmosphere, excellent prices, easy parking. You couldn't ask for more. This is our "go to" restaurant every time we want a nice lunch or dinner out. I especially love their salmon and pot roast. They have excellent sides too - try their potato salad and marinated veggies. Even... More

My team came down from Philadelphia for Spring Break rowing and Dean's was one of our favorite spots. Early in the week we came for lunch and the salmon, greens, and coconut pie was perfect for refueling. The service was fast and friendly and persuaded us to return. We came back for dinner later in the week and the restaurant... More

Food was excellent, as well as cost effective. As student athletes on a tight budget, this restaurant was able to cater to our need for filling, nutritious food while still being affordable. The service, especially from Lynn, was extremely friendly and prompt. Their pie bar is also quite a treat. The food was so good, our rowing team came back... More

Lynn was so great she sat us at the pie bar and was so sweet and the service was excellent. The pie was also beyond excellent and I love that a good dinner was under $9!! Really recommended for hungry rowers on a budget!

Dean's fills all the empty "niches" in Oak Ridge dining. It complete's the much needed dining experience in our fair city by serving both excellent cuisine and having excellent service! The menu is varied and the servings are huge! Most people leave with a box for "leftovers" and another for their homemade desserts! If you haven't been, you HAVE GOT... More
