Where to Eat in Oakland, MD
Oakland is Garrett County’s county seat, with a walkable downtown full of cafés, bakeries and restaurants, plus many of the lakefront spots along Route 219 that share an Oakland address.
Most of Oakland’s dining is within a few blocks of the historic B&O Railroad Station downtown, with more along Garrett Highway (Route 219) heading north toward the lake. You’ll find diners and bakeries for breakfast, pizza and Mexican for a quick dinner, and pubs for a night out. Oakland is a year-round town, so it’s also where locals eat when some seasonal spots at the lake close for the winter. Every place below is listed with its town and phone number, and featured listings include menus, logos and website links.
