Wood-Fired American Kitchen

Where fire
meets flavor.

Every dish on our menu is crafted over open wood fire — slow, intentional, and built around the finest local ingredients the Midwest has to offer.

Our Story

Cooking the way it was meant to be done.

Ember & Oak was born from a simple belief — that the best food comes from patience, quality ingredients, and real wood fire. No shortcuts. No tricks. Just honest cooking.

Chef Marcus Webb spent a decade in kitchens across the country before returning home to open a restaurant that reflected his roots — American comfort food elevated by technique and fire.
