“Dropped by with the whole family. I've been going here for years. The service and food has always been good.Can't go wrong here with the food and cocktails.Will be back again for sure.Parking: There was plenty of parking at south shore center”

Each dish is a masterpiece, blending the freshest ingredients with skilled craftsmanship. From delicate sashimi to innovative rolls, the flavors harmonize in a symphony of taste. Impeccable presentation and attentive service elevate the dining experience, making this a haven for sushi enthusiasts seeking a refined gastronomic adventure.”

“Visited this nice little place on Webster Street on a cold and rainy Friday night. The owner was very welcoming and service attentive. We ordered the Spicy Papaya Salad as an appetizer and 4 mains: Sngor Thhrourk (seafood soup), Spicy Tofu with Lemongrass, Minty Noodles with BBQ Pork, and Singapore Noodles. All of it was fresh, hot and very delicious. It's a good amount of food for the dollar so we all left with extra for lunch the next day. Great spot, good eats, friendly people. Recommended.”

“My favourite restaurant in Alameda- have dined in and gotten take out and the food is always delicious. Portions are really generous too! Highly recommend the pad see ew and nam ”

“Wanted to pick up some kasoori methi (dried fenugreek leaves) for a recipe, which brought me in. Staff is friendly and helpful. I bought a couple (mix veg) Samosa on a whim for a snack when I got home and these are the BEST samosa I’ve ever eaten in my life. I really want to come back for lunch/dinner at some point, absolutely delicious food.”

“We ordered a mocha milkshake, and a cappuccino. The cappuccino was great, but the mocha milkshake made me hate Starbucks Frappuccino so much.Because the mocha milkshake is definitely a valid reason to visit this placeIt's rich creamy, and has real mocha in itI'm reviewing this place so I can visit it laterThey have some seating featuring a large street facing glass stool areaI parked at the O'Reilly across the street. I am not dealing with street parking in Oakland. Even though this is Alhambra. IYKYK.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Celebrated a birthday at Ceron Kitchen in Alameda, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish!The atmosphere was wonderfully inviting, setting the perfect tone for our celebration.First up, the wedge salad was a refreshing delight, perfectly crisp and flavorful. But it was the lobster fettuccine that truly stole the show – every bite was a burst of exquisite flavors, leaving us craving for more.A special shoutout to the exceptional staff, particularly our bartender Robert, whose warmth and expertise enhanced our experience. Robert's recommendations for wine pairings were spot on, elevating each course to perfection.Overall, Ceron Kitchen exceeded our expectations in every way. We'll definitely be returning for more memorable dining experiences!”

“Stan and his team are always friendly and fun. Thank you for accommodating our party of 10. The table was nicely decorated, our drinks came super fast, and the food was delicious. Excellent service every time. Julie”

“Best hazy IPAs on earth... yep! The new place on alameda island is perfect, lots of rooms for parties etc. the crew is always super nice and friendly. Alameda has certainly become a great place for food/drinks!”

“I've been to Macondo a few times, and have loved the food every time. We decided to do a bulk order for my daughter's 2nd birthday, as the hand-held nature of the food and delicious flavors seemed like it would be a fun and easy option. Constanza (who I believe is the owner) was very accommodating and easy to work with. We ordered an array of baked and fried empanadas, several different arepas, and salad. I love that the vegetarian options still have a ton of texture and flavor. One of our guests stated that it was the best toddler party food they had every eaten :)The party was a few days ago, and I've already been back for some more empanadas!My favorites:- baked beef+potato empanada- fried birria empanada- bahn mi arepa- colombianisima arepa- Macondo saladVegetarian options: The salads are delicious and vegetarian, along with tasty options such as the mushroom empanada, veggie arepa, and tofu arepa.”

“Cane here two different days. 1st time they had all the selection of great toasts the offer (avocado, banana, etc) and we loved them. Next time, no toasts so we were disappointed. Still, good coffee both times.Make sure to get those toasts!”

“I don't know why it took us so long to get dinner here but I'm glad we finally did. The food was delicious and service was warm. Ala Med is a Turkish restaurant but given the broader mediterranean influence, I think people will find a lot of familiar items here.Our table ordered various items:Istanbul trio: Both hummus and haydari were good but I loved the muhammara - this version gave equal importance to both the walnuts and the red peppers and was well balanced with a slight kick from some chili. Eggplant salad: so good, well seasoned, and refreshingManti: meat dumpling with yogurt and tomato sauce- everyone loved itImam fainted: vegetarian eggplant dish - flavorful, easy to eatButcher Kofte: I really liked the seasoning of the meat but didn't love the texture as the meat seemed to be really finely ground but that is a personal preference. I did enjoy the rice and chickpea salad it came with.For dessert there was rice pudding(good) and baklava(average). I liked that everyone got a small cup of tea to finish off the meal.”

“Went here for restaurant week, and the scallops over risotto was wonderful, but not as delicious as the beef wellington. The wine list allowed some perfect pairings, and the staff was great too. Five stars!”

“Visited this local Lao spot on a friend’s recommendation and wow, it didn’t disappoint! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was cozy and welcoming - exactly what you’d want from a neighborhood gem. The service was on point too; our server was super friendly, gave us great recommendations, and really knew their stuff.Now, let’s talk food because that’s the real star here. I went for the Pad Kee Mao, and it was absolutely delicious - spicy, flavorful, and just packed with all the good stuff. But the unexpected highlight? Their oysters! Affordable, fresh, and just so tasty, they were a total game-changer for me. It’s not often you find such quality at those prices.Overall, this place is a must-visit if you’re in the mood for some authentic Lao cuisine or just in search of a solid dining experience. Great food, great prices, and great service. I’ll definitely be back!”

“Without a doubt my new favorite Chinese restaurant in the Bay, and I’ve thoroughly explored Oakland & SF Chinatown! We got the #8 (Taiwan beef brisket noodles) at the highest spice level (it’s really not spicy at all) with their hand pulled noodles and oh. My. Goodness. AMAZING!!! The vinegar in the broth was PERFECT, I didn’t need to add my own seasonings whatsoever.We also got the fried pork and chili won tons which were also delicious! I’ll definitely make the drive down here as often as possible!! Super happy to support this new small, local business.Also shout out to the service, because it was some of the best I’ve gotten in a long time. So kind!”

“Cute little place a bit off the beaten path. Ordered the Morrocan Rice with Kefta and caramelized onions and a side of hummus. The Kefta was delicious with the caramelized onions seasoned with cinnamon and nutmeg (?). Really good. The tangy side salad was a nice counter-point to the Kefta. The hummus was top drawer and sprinkled generously with paprika. The only disappointment was the pita which was a bit dry and appeared (and tasted) "store bought." Taking off a star for that. If you're serving this type of food, you can't fumble something as basic and central as the pita bread. Aside from that little fail, very good.”

“Just out boppin around with my pal Allhans Ondek after spending the day on his fishing boat, looking for stripers, we were hungry and heading to the Speisekammer Restaurant for some Wiener Schnitzel. His boat, The Slippery Beaver, named after his ex-wife is moored in Alameda, and not too far from the Speisekammer Restaurant, Allhans tells me they prepare the best Schnitzel in the world! So, with a recommendation like that...I've got to go.And I'll tell you what...the Schnitzel was Amazing! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆”

“Another PHENOMENAL experience! It's Alameda Restaurant week so busier than usual but we got in at 6:30 Sat and were out by 7:10. Ordered the burger and chick sando- both have been on our minds for a while but we always get Trips Triple and it felt like we were cheating but man was it worth it! DELICIOUS! Kind of wish we got the Crab Stew/Cioppino because it's looked amazing but we have no regrets with our sandwiches and the awesome Brussels sprouts.”

“So this was a random find and was only craving some hot pot on a cold Monday sprinkly evening. This place popped up on Yelp while checking in the area I was in and I said let's check it out. We arrived around 6ish and there was not too many people but by the time we left, it was 3/4 full.A very modern ambiance for a Vietnamese restaurant. Nicely decorated and plenty of tables even for a big group. It's located in the old Blanding shopping area now where Nob Hills Market is where they modernized the place from my childhood days in Alameda. Alameda has been changing a lot over the decade and for the better with more places to eat.We ordered their sangria and it was pretty good. We also ordered their Beef Luc Lac. Very good portions of beef. The marinated beef was very good and we finished all of that. We also ordered their Lau Pork Bone Marrow soup, and added Wagyu beef and some enoki mushrooms! Not a disappoint. I actually thought the pot was small and that it was not enough for my husband and I to share but I was so wrong!! Very rich broth but once you add the veggies it makes the broth so much better. The broth was so good and creamy.Since it was only two of us, we couldn't order more or add a dessert to try because we were just too full from two things. Service was great! We will definitely be back to try other things. If you like hot pot style, come try this place.”

“Everything is delicious but the most surprising thing was the freshly baked pita. I've never had pita so soft and pillowy. I thoroughly enjoyed my beef shawarma plate. Dipping the crispy, well seasoned fries into the hummus made it feel healthy and the cucumber salad added a fresh component. It felt like a well rounded meal that left us full, happy, and satisfied. There are some tables and benches outside where you can eat since the inside is a marketplace. We'll definitely be back for more.”

“I tried their holiday latte (maple, hazelnut, and cinnamon) and it was so good. Great ambiance for catching up with friends or working from a cafe. WiFi code is prominently displayed at register. I did not order food, but a friend ordered their breakfast wrap and it looked a little too healthy for my liking. Will definitely be back for coffee and maybe to read a book or newspaper before work.”

“I LOVE it here. They have great coffee and the owner is as sweet as the breads she sells. If you're looking for a great cup of coffee or a place to unwind, then this is the place to go!”

“We had dinner there tonight (3/14/24) for the first time and we will be back. They are two of the most interesting and truly delicious sandwiches we have ever eaten. I can't remember what mine was called, but it had chicken (roasted perfectly), sauerkraut, cheese and other awesome stuff on a grilled rye bread that was excellent. My bride had the turkey sandwich and loved it. But the star of the show were the Tater Tots. Perfectly crisp with BBQ sauce to dip them in and then into some wonderful real bacon bits. Every tot stayed crisp from the first to the last. The meal was worth every penny and more. Get into the Alameda location and try it. You won't be sorry. PS: The only bad part for me is that we live in Seattle and won't be back down until May. But you can bet I will be eating here then.”

“Fabulous dinner at a family owned 15+ years. What a gem. Great food and good service. Will returnParking: Easy meter parking, but 2 hour free parking around the corner”

“Lovely staff and delicious lattes! They have all of the classics but some very creative specialty drinks too. It is street parking which can be a bit tough but the drinks are worth the walk :-)”

“I enjoy Boathouse and the small town vibes it gives. There is a chill atmosphere, they have good drinks and attentive bartenders (Janet + Christian). The only downside is that I don't enjoy when there is that guitar guy there randomly strumming songs in the background. They turn all of the music off and it makes it low key uncomfortable and really puts the vibe in an odd place. The guitar guy doesn't sing, he doesn't play entire songs and he doesn't even play songs that are fun/exciting/good bar vibes. This is an entirely too huge downfall because atmosphere and music in a bar play an insurmountable part in the success and continuity of business. I actually left when the man started playing his guitar again because it was honestly really odd and just put the whole mood. I will definitely return and I sincerely hope that I don't accidentally come on another night where this random man is playing his guitar at random parts of the night. I would literally walk out again if that happened haha. No hate to guitar man it's just weird that they shut off the entire bar music to let this dude strum his guitar in background. Also the kitchen was closed but they served select folks in the bar, which I was not one of and I was hungry. Hopefully they standardize the rules and entertainment. Cheers!!”

“I've had this place bookmarked for 3 months and finally got the chance to go. After reading reviews, I went early and started lining up at 11:40am and there was already ~20 parties ahead of us. Once they opened, someone came out with brisket samples. It took about an hour til we were ordering. I've never had Texas BBQ so I can't compare but the meats were so good!! The brisket was fatty, smoky, and well seasoned. The beef back ribs were a little smokier also delicious. The bbq sauce and pickled onions made for the perfect bite, along with the sides. The nasi goreng was a pretty standard fried rice that paired with the meat but I wouldn't get it again. The slaw is refreshing and was very peanutty but I wish it was a little more acidic. The rendang plate was a miss for me. The brisket was very dry and it was too smoky for my liking for a curry. I LOVED the kale curry side in the plate though. I don't like kale but I would eat it all the time if it was always cooked like this lol. I suggest getting the belado plate to try a different meat. I would definitely come back and wait an hour again and try the rest of their menu. :)”

“Came here with an old friend, we ended up staying for three hours, and we're the last to leave with a large margin. What kept us so long was the great food, the excellent service, and an atmosphere that invites long discussions.Everything on the menu looked so good, and made it hard to pick. I decided to go for scallops on risotto, and finish with a variation on New York Cheesecake. OMG, it was all soooo good.Will be back soon!”

“First off Lamar greeted us with open arms ? he took our order perfectly. It’s a full house right now. We scout table just leaving and make our way to it. Out of nowhere Fernando comes to ask to clean the table before we sit, what a savior ? top tier customer service tonight - love you Alameda in-n-out”

“On this cold atmospheric rainy day, I'm glad I scored a parking spot right outside otherwise I might given up on trying this place. I'm glad the parking gods were with me today. It gave me the chance to try their Thai beef boat noodle soup. Omg it was perfect. The broth was a flavorful deep sweet soy sauce based broth with earthy spice undertones. The thinly sliced beef was tender. The noodles were al dente with a nice chew. Perfection in a bite. They had cute condiments but I didn't need to use anything. It was super tasty as it is. Anytime I'm in Alameda I'll definitely stop by for some great Thai food. A cute sweet Thai family runs this place.”

“sashimi and nigiri is fantastic, I had saba and unagi and we also tried one of their creative rolls.excellent selection of sakes and a nice atmosphere. service was great!”

“I love it here! The food is fabulous. As you can see from my photos, I have been here more than a few occasions to eat chicken and waffles in different ways! Breakfast, snack and dinner versions! I also love the white flights, the karaoke was a hit! And outstanding service by Kyle and Ryan! I feel like this is a little home away from home”

“The food is delicious but lacks consistency. I've ordered the same dishes multiple times and often it's different portions, different packaging, different cuts of chicken etc. The okra soup was super watery today and not slimy the way it should be. I will continue to order because everything else I've ordered has been great. I just wish they still had larger portions for the $25+ plates and a little more consistency.”

“It's a VIBE...If you want a VIBE!! It's a VIBE in this beautiful black owned winery! The sad part is that I didn't even know this placed existed in the heart of the Bay Area (Alameda). I was asked to join my partner in celebrating a friend of his birthday and wahla, this is where we landed. There was a live singer (and boy could he sing his a$$ off), lots of people, wine flight options and more. The ambiance is so culturally beautiful, I just couldn't stop looking around. I would love to go back with some of my girl-friends and check it out for ourselves. I didn't get an opportunity to take any pictures (sad face) so I do apologize for that. But if you near or in the Alameda area do not pass this beautiful gem up!”

“Can't go wrong with Happy Hours here! Ordered two personal pizzas - deep-dish and thin crust. The blue cheese flavor was kinda lacking, but it's happy hour price so not the end of the world here. Well cocktails are $7 so that's a steal too!Saw a vault on the way to the restroom.. what's that about?”

“Kid-friendliness: Very kid-friendly in that the staff is so sweet to the kids and thoughtful. Like one employee helped show us where the bathroom was just because he headers me trying to get my 5yo to go, and of course he went faster with the ushering… They have the kid chopstick helpers AND provide warm/cool hand towels upon seating!!!”

“The best Thai food in Alameda by far and very authentic. Great tasting and excellent service from start to finish, which was a great treat. Plus it's right next to Starbucks in South shore.”

“My first time there and it was great food!!! My cousin lives in the area and says he goes to this spot at least 3 times a month!!! I’m definitely going back!!!Parking: I parked around the corner. It was all good.”

“One the east bays best kept secrets for authentic, fresh and dilectible Thai cuisine!Vegetarian options: My husband is trying to eat more vegetarian and this is now one of our go to! I will eat anything.. LOL”

“Cute place that serves sushi and boba drinks. Fast service and quick seating on a weekend night. We ordered a caterpillar roll, golden gate roll, and salmon bento box. Bento box was great but the rolls were a little disappointing. Food breakdown - drinks- only water is offered. No complimentary tea. They do sell sake, cocktails, and boba drinks including Thai tea, milk tea, fruit teas. - salmon bento box came with 2 fillets of grilled salmon, 6 slices of California roll, 2 croquettes, 3 dumplings, and a big scoop of rice with a side of house salad. No side miso soup included. The salad was good. The salmon was nicely cooked with crispy skin. The croquettes were light and crispy. I do have beef with their sushi rolls though... -sushi rolls- decent size California roll: had lots of mixed fake crab. A small bit of avocado. But no cucumber... it throws me off. Golden gate roll: dressed up California roll topped with half salmon and half hamachi. Also no cucumber. Caterpillar roll: again, lots of fake crab meat, but the shrimp tempura is very skinny small, guess they use tiny shrimps. And, there was no unagi or cucumber. Tbh, the descriptions of the sushi rolls on the menu are correct.. it's just that I've come to expect certain things in my sushi when I order common rolls like California roll and caterpillar roll. When certain ingredients are left out, it's just not the same flavor profile or texture. Just be aware when ordering.”

“We come here every year for my cousin's bday so he can order plain fettuccine Alfredo lol. But honestly pasta pelican is actually quite good and has a wide selection of tasty pastas for a reasonable price. The service is also great and let you have as much house baked bread as you want and it's not difficult to get a reservation, even with a large party as the restaurant is pretty large inside. The interior design of the restaurant could and a little face lift--it's giving old ship. And maybe that's on purpose for the theme but regardless I don't go there for the ambiance but go there to enjoy delicious food.”

“Went here to celebrate my mom’s birthday and they were very accommodating. They let me bring a cake for a cake fee and let us stay a little over closing. It goes without saying that the food was delicious but going above and beyond by bringing us dessert plates and a candle is what will keep me coming as a customer.”

“Enjoyed a smooth cab, the unique atmosphere within the production warehouse added to the overall experience. Scott provided thorough explanations, going above and beyond by recommending other fantastic wineries and delightful food options to explore in the East Bay.”

“A great neighborhood cafe with a good straightforward menu. Usually not too crowded, it’s a nice place to meet a friend and catch up.Kid-friendliness: Also very kid friendly!”

“Great place to have a Jack in the Box. Love this location, fast and honest service, great food, drive thru available. Highly recommend.Parking: Street parking and parking lot”

“Honestly, I was pressed for cash for the evening and this place didn't fail to deliver on good eats at affordable prices. There are many economically priced options here that won't disappoint the average consumer. Take a chance, you may not be disappointed. ?️”

“Cool old fashioned deli with great sandwichesParking: There's a small free public lot just off Main to the north of the building. Otherwise metered street parking.”

“Such a great restaurant! The food is absolutely amazing and the staff are all super friendly, courteous and efficient! Hats off to the kitchen, the staff, and the chefs! Pipi & May are fantastic!!! I highly recommend this restaurant if you love Thai cuisine!!! 5 stars ? ? ? ? ?”

“I ordered cupcakes for a party without much expectation and the cupcakes were delicious, probably the most delicious I had. Everyone loved the cupcakes, will order ”

“Their food never lacks flavor and they're very kind and sweet to their customers. The setting is also extremely welcoming and they appear to be extremely clean as well even having separate containers for touched and untouched pens. Just overall amazing. I've even put in the effort to learn a bit of Korean to thank them for a consistently delicious food.”

“Good family vibes.. Taste like that home cooked greatness that soothe your soul. Dynamic Family Restaurant. Grear prices and amazing food! Clean, and Awesome Service!Parking: bring coins prepare to pay meters.”

“Really enjoying going to this local coffee shop in Alameda. The staff are the main factor as to why I choose Highwire Coffee. They are super friendly and welcoming. The only down side is I tend to always show up for a bag of coffee when they are out. I personally prefer light roast coffee which they have and recently learned that they get their shipment of coffee bags on Tuesday around 1pm (fyi). Can’t say anything about their espresso drink as I have yet to order one but worth stopping by and trying and experiencing such friendly coffee staff.”

“I am so grateful for the food and love that I am experiencing today.Vegetarian options: I saw others order some amazing things, and the coffee and scones were great, fresh, and delicious ( not bland and hard).Kid-friendliness: There is outdoor seating that overlook the boats and the view is soothing ? ✨️”

“Hand carved turkey and produce that looks like it was picked from the field just minutes ago. Fresh slabs of American cheese, cranberry and generous portions of turkey on their Colonel Jim sandwich is why I keep coming back..the ladies there are hard working and you can tell they take pride in their business and care about their customers.If I'm driving the 880 best Alameda and want a sandwich this is my go to spot.”

“Went to Firebrand Artisan Breads's Alameda location recently, which is always a great excuse to eat more pastries! ? Seating inside is kind of awkward, as it's positioned around the ordering line, but there's also an outside patio. Be sure to bring a sweater, though, because you never know how much of a breeze is going to kick up on that end of Alameda.My friend went for the BLT, made on Firebrand bread, of course! I opted for the spicy chicken sandwich, and it was fantastic! So flavorful without going over my spice limit. The dressing for the side salads was quite nice as well, though I do prefer when a salad is more than just lettuce.Of course, there's also those pretty pastries! I split them with Ben later on. My favorite was probably the espresso buckwheat chocolate chip cookie, which had the right amount of bitterness for me to combine with the sweet.The matcha croissant was filled to the brim inside with a very creamy matcha sauce. Quite tasty! But you do lose the bread in the midst of that cream. The hazelnut chocolate kouign amann hit the spot, and its filling was also creamier than I expected.I'm glad Firebrand could expand to Alameda!”

“Great place to quickly pick up good pizzas and pastas to go. Online ordering at reasonable prices. I haven't dined in or visited the bar but it looks nice.”

“A cute cafe and bakery where you can swing by to get some freshly baked pastries or coffee. Service is friendly and the prices are really affordable for freshly baked food. I really enjoyed the banana bread. It was a thick slice of moist and not-too-sweet goodness. Would come back!”

“I've been coming here for years !! It's a good comfort spot for a simple but delish breakfast . I'm really just obsessed with their waffles . Service is always quick . Sometimes on a busy day there will be a wait for lunch rush. Everyone is so friendly”

“wild ginger just is a solid spot to eat at. the length and texture of the hand pulled noodles are so satisfying to eat, and the place is pretty small so you can hear the loud smacking sounds of the chef making the noodles in the kitchen! so cool!!!my friends and I actually got a cold noodle dish on the house when we visited for dinner :) they are just so kind like that!the spicy dishes are actually not really that spicy which doesn't hit the spot for me exactly but still super enjoyable. i remember when they first opened like 6+ years ago, it was pretty spicy for me so either my spice tolerance has really gone up (it definitely has over the years), they toned down the spice for the customers, or both. either way, each time I come I leave full and satisfied!”

“Delicious and filling roast beef & provolone on ciabatta. This is how sandwiches SHOULD be made. Especially at today's prices. They even gave me a comfy chair to sit outside. ??”

“The Niçoise salad is amazing - good portion of perfectly seared ahi tuna and enhanced by olives, tomatoes, eggs etc. Service is stellar - the only downside are the prices which are a bit steep but good value for the area.”

“Drinks: 4/5 Service: 3/5 Price/Value: 3/5 Atmosphere/Cleanliness: 4/5 Paid a visit to Jamba Juice craving a refreshing smoothie and found it to be a moderately satisfying experience. The drinks were decent, service was standard, prices were reasonable, and the atmosphere felt like your typical smoothie spot - an okay choice for a quick beverage.”

“Pizza are prepared fresh in front of you. Made to perfection handmade and homemade dough. Variety of choices to select, my favorite the Chicago Deep dish. Restaurant is clean. The service time is the normal time it takes to make a pizza, it's not a long wait. You can order ahead to cut time for waiting. I've have been a customer at this location for over 10 years. Favorite pizza company for me. I like to take home and bake it myself.”

“Fair food. Nothing really special about this place. I have had better taste in Mexican food at the local Taquerias.Vegetarian options: Options on menuParking: Hard to findKid-friendliness: High chairWheelchair accessibility: Tables are friendly.”

“This is a unique location. The building itself has a glass roof, and you can enjoy stormy weather from the inside! The front patio often has dogs and sunshine. The drive-thru is conveniently located, and I can grab a drink and head out of town fairly quickly. Staff is friendly and helpful and is quick with your order!”

“I am overly happy with the experience of buying food from this restaurant! Our food was really delicious and very frash ?!! I would definitely refer people ?to come and check this place out!”

“Just had cappuccino and herbal teas with a couple friends here. Lovely, fun baristas. Also appreciated the parking lot - free and safe.Parking: Ample free parking”

“Ok team, time to order ahead and pick up, just check your order. Things gets missed (accentually) like extra sour cream but overall a 10...They are kind and want to make sure you're happy!Go for it!”

“I love their Service, Restaurant is always Clean, Ms. Elaine the General Manager is the Best in Northern California, ive eaten at all of the Carls Jrs, The Alameda Store is Hands Down The Best...”

“I ordered 2 sausage muffins with no egg and a large coffee; $6.40.Then I had to wait in a parking stall for over 5 minutes for the sausage muffins. It's 8 a.m. I was only the 2nd car in line. The car ahead of me had to wait for their order as well as the car behind me. We were all parked in # stalls in the lot.”

“Who are you oreo mcFlurry maker? A genius? I think so! My friends surprised me with this McFlurry and YOU surprised me! Oreos on top vanilla ice cream in the middle, who would have thought you would have put a like pizzazz in my life. Oreos on the bottom!?!? Yussssss! Amazing! You guys also do the most in the best way!When I want more sauce, i get more sauce!What I crack a joke, you equal my yoke!When my friends surprise me, YOU surprise me more!Thank you thank you thank you! ?”

“Always on point w the chicken and the biscuits are fluffy fresh and warm. A bit noisy when I visited but I didnt want to say anything to whom looked like family of the workers whilst I was there.Parking: Small lot stuck behind gas station. 5 spots maybe w another 3 "waiting/pickup" spaces. Drive thru available. Do not exit towards the drive thru!”

“A recent trip to Burger King left me thoroughly satisfied. The staff was attentive, ensuring my order was just the way I liked it. The flame-grilled taste of the burgers was unparalleled, and the shakes were a perfect blend of rich flavors. The modern and upbeat ambiance added to the overall enjoyable dining experience. Can't wait to return!”

“This was a cool vibe for a Saturday evening. Skew ball, billiards, arcade games. Plenty of dogs enjoying the place as well. Cozy and kooky interior and it was lively.”

“I found out about Project Burger from a fellow yelper. The first time I was there was last Saturday, March 23, 2024, after leaving Park Social Cannabis Dispensary.I was hungry and needed to get something to eat. I stopped in at Project Burger. They serve burgers, fries, shakes, malts, fountain sodas and two types of salad.Eats: California burger for $12.95 (excluding tax). For anybody with a hearty appetite, I recommend this burger - thick and humongous. It is a half pound beef pattie with cojita cheese, romaine, spring mix greens, sliced tomatoes, sliced avocados, sliced red onion, house sauce (mild or spicy). The fixings come in a separate tray. A parchment paper is layered between the bun and the beef parties. The burger was bomb-diggity good. It took me almost 45 minutes to finish that burger.So delicious was that burger, I returned three days later to buy two California burgers to go.”

“Jim's Diner offers a consistently enjoyable experience with great food, excellent service, and the ultimate diner ambience. The California scramble, California Benedict, and corned beef hash were all delicious, accompanied by decent house coffee. Service was attentive, and our order arrived accurately within 15 minutes. For those craving a classic diner experience, Jim's is the place to be.”

“I think that may have been the best burger I’ve ever had. Didn’t need to add or subtract anything to or from it. Good job! And, we were brought and ate our burgers at the bar next door with a drink. Perfect burger, perfect garlic fries!, perfect bar, perfect staff. Thank you.”

“This place was really good. The ratio to acai granola and fruit was really good. The bowl was also very filling. The girl at the counter was really friendly and helped me pick the bowl. She was fast and quick! The spot was really nice and cozy. I'd definitely go back again”

“On my way back from snagging the deal of the century on dinner, I thought, 'Why not keep the good times rolling?' So, I swung by the Lemon Drop for an after-dinner cocktail and dessert. I opted for their 'Naughty by Nature' cocktail and paired it with FRESH Point Reyes Oysters. Let's just say, I'll be making more 'research trips' to Lemon Drop for their cocktails and grub! #GRUBLYFE”

“Thank you Benton for being a local love Hide out! The Marley G's pizza is a must when just hanging at the bar. Shout out to an amazing pool table- and of course my favs Steve, Peppi & Siobhan ???? You guys rock and I know when I see you my cocktail is gonna be perfect. See super soon.”

“This place is so cute and the service is wonderful. So many fun tea and matcha options. I just ordered the most delicious mango matcha latte! They have boba and other fun additions too and lots of fun treats. Highly recommend!!”

“Came here with a friend who knows that I like trying out unique flavors. This little discreet ice cream shop nestled in Alameda was small but had a lot to offer. They had super interesting flavors : match Oreo, animal cookie, pandan coconut, Dan tat (!), calamansi, durian and more. I have tried many Asian flavored ice creams, but find most of them are lacking in flavor or leaning more on vanilla or creamy tones to make them more palatable for folks unfamiliar with them. I, however, want my ice cream to taste exactly like Durian or Ube if that's how it is labeled, not a toned down version. This place delivers on that because you're getting exactly what you imagined with no punches pulled. The Dan tat (egg tart) flavor especially blew my mind because I have not ever seen this flavor offered before, it's one of my favorite nostalgic treats from childhood and it tasted exactly like an egg tart. I did end up getting matcha Oreo instead because I was in the mood for something not too sweet and the authentic bitterness in the matcha was the perfect solution. My friend got the animal cookie and it was a perfect rendition of the cookie itself. The workers were nice and tolerant of us trying out a few different samples which is how I know everything was super flavorful. My only critique is that the size of the scoop and quality of the ice cream itself could be improved a notch, but I'm used to Gunther's in sacramento so it's hard to compare.”

“This place is a hidden gem. Love the selection of fresh donuts and I always get the croissant egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. The service is fresh and friendly and you have the option to sit inside or outside. When I want to treat myself I walk down and get me a nice chocolate donut and a breakfast sandwich. I'm I'm definitely a repeat customer.”

“I walked into this place with high expectations and let me just say I was definetely satisfied with my visit.A nice young gentleman by the name of Leo helped me.He was super helpful and a very handsome young man I must ”

“Great longtime, family-owned dog spot on Park Street. They’ve used the same Miller sausages that many Bay Area places have including the Coliseum. I usually opt for the Coney style chili dogs and they never let me down. Location is great with a corner spot on Park and that makes parking spotty at peak times but it’s worth it. Support local people.”

“Wally's Corner is a gem that absolutely deserves its stars! The ambiance hits just the right note of cozy and lively, making it a prime spot for anyone looking to unwind. Service? Unmatched. The drinks are always flowing, and the vibe is consistently inviting. Wally's Corner is where cozy meets quality, delivering an exceptional bar experience every time. From the friendly service to the expertly crafted drinks, it's a haven for those seeking a great night out. The vibe here is just right, making every visit memorable. Big cheers to Wally's for setting the bar high and crafting such a welcoming corner in the city!”

“MYLA (aka "MAI TAI") IS AWESOME !!! She always provides outstanding service, with a huge smile and incredible warmth. (In fairness, everyone else that I have ever dealt with here was also great.). In a world full of "gourmet" coffee shops, I still return to Peet's, again and again. They are unparalleled!”

“On this cold atmospheric rainy day, I'm glad I scored a parking spot right outside otherwise I might given up on trying this place. I'm glad the parking gods were with me today. It gave me the chance to try their Thai beef boat noodle soup. Omg it was perfect. The broth was a flavorful deep sweet soy sauce based broth with earthy spice undertones. The thinly sliced beef was tender. The noodles were al dente with a nice chew. Perfection in a bite. They had cute condiments but I didn't need to use anything. It was super tasty as it is. Anytime I'm in Alameda I'll definitely stop by for some great Thai food. A cute sweet Thai family runs this place.”

“Food and cocktails were creatively prepared and presented. Delicious doesn't even begin to describe the tastes and smells. Love the vibe! Can't wait to come back!Vegetarian options: Crispy eggplant sandwich!”

“I tried their holiday latte (maple, hazelnut, and cinnamon) and it was so good. Great ambiance for catching up with friends or working from a cafe. WiFi code is prominently displayed at register. I did not order food, but a friend ordered their breakfast wrap and it looked a little too healthy for my liking. Will definitely be back for coffee and maybe to read a book or newspaper before work.”

“This place had lots of great food and the staff were awesome. It was an amazing experience with lots of great food. The vegetarian options were many and the hot sauce was super hot! The tacos were amazing and they let you customize your own.The kids loved the horchata because it was served in a traditional clay pot.”

“First off Lamar greeted us with open arms ? he took our order perfectly. It’s a full house right now. We scout table just leaving and make our way to it. Out of nowhere Fernando comes to ask to clean the table before we sit, what a savior ? top tier customer service tonight - love you Alameda in-n-out”

“I was visiting Jersey, and this was a pleasant surprise. My friend that lives here got to visit this for the first time, too, and we were both blown away in every aspect of the dining experience. You have to try the virgin Piña Colada or the Strawberry daq. There is a 30% gratuity added to the bill. The sushi was fresh and well made too.”

“02/29/24, Not a good experience this time. In their defense it was the last day to use any 2023 holiday gift cards that were outstanding and we were in the crowd of last day certificate users. But that note does not excuse any obvious issues that should have not been overlooked liked bringing food to our table that obviously did not have eating utensils or napkins. The food was ok, not fantastic as with previous dining visits. Our waitress was ok, her name is Jill”

“Best place to reserve for large parties! my family does large parties here about twice a year and they always remember us when we come in separately. I loooooove the cajun chicken sandwhich and the strawberry lemonade. Such a friendly ”

“Without a doubt my new favorite Chinese restaurant in the Bay, and I’ve thoroughly explored Oakland & SF Chinatown! We got the #8 (Taiwan beef brisket noodles) at the highest spice level (it’s really not spicy at all) with their hand pulled noodles and oh. My. Goodness. AMAZING!!! The vinegar in the broth was PERFECT, I didn’t need to add my own seasonings whatsoever.We also got the fried pork and chili won tons which were also delicious! I’ll definitely make the drive down here as often as possible!! Super happy to support this new small, local business.Also shout out to the service, because it was some of the best I’ve gotten in a long time. So kind!”

“While my experience at Applebee's in Alameda was overall enjoyable, I couldn't help but notice a couple of minor issues. The drinks seemed slightly watered down, which was a bit disappointing. Additionally, I found that only the tiny toilet stall was working in the men's room, which was inconvenient. However, the food was delicious, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was inviting. I would still recommend giving it a try for a casual dining experience”

“We come here every year for my cousin's bday so he can order plain fettuccine Alfredo lol. But honestly pasta pelican is actually quite good and has a wide selection of tasty pastas for a reasonable price. The service is also great and let you have as much house baked bread as you want and it's not difficult to get a reservation, even with a large party as the restaurant is pretty large inside. The interior design of the restaurant could and a little face lift--it's giving old ship. And maybe that's on purpose for the theme but regardless I don't go there for the ambiance but go there to enjoy delicious food.”

“Fair food. Nothing really special about this place. I have had better taste in Mexican food at the local Taquerias.Vegetarian options: Options on menuParking: Hard to findKid-friendliness: High chairWheelchair accessibility: Tables are friendly.”

“The atmosphere of the place was very pleasant, the service was very fast and friendly. It was a little confusing for me to order but everything was fine, the food was fresh, and the waiters were very attentive.”

“We came here for dinner on a Tuesday night. There was no line when we got there. You order and pay at the counter. They had plenty of seats available in the dining area. The place was clean and tidy. We both ordered the pescado frito which came with/ rice, your choice of beans, salad, pickled onions and plantains. I ordered a very delicious mango agua fresca and he ordered a margarita. It took about 15 minutes to get our food. The whole plate was delicious. The fish was nice and crispy, the salad was perfect and before I knew it, I had finished my plate. I was stuffed and the food was perfectly portioned for me. We bussed our own plated and that was the whole experience. Will definitely be back.”
