“Best diner food in the East Bay. Live music on second Friday of the month 6 to 8:30pm.“

“This was my first time going to Prospect Park Grille. I got there at 12:20 for breakfast but it ended at 11:30. The lady taking orders was nice enough to go ahead and cook my daughter and myself breakfast. I had the grit special with bacon. The food was good and reasonable priced. I would definitely go back again.

Vegetarian options: Tofu“

“They have good breakfast like the lumberjack slam which is my favorite.. I have been eating at Dennys since I was a kid and I love their food yummy..“

“A standard diner experience - their pancakes are very yummy but the waffles tastes like grease! The breakfast toast (Calabrian chili plus corn cheese) is so delicious. The soft scrambles eggs are cooked with butter so that's always a plus!“

“The shrimp and grits are tasty. I don’t understand why the entire staff is Hispanic-like most Mexican restaurants they only hire Hispanic folks so if we are not good enough to work here I won’t spend my money here“

“Such an amazing experience. The service was impeccable and the food was so delicious. I love that the menu is labeled with what can be made gluten free or vegetarian which I always appreciate since I am gluten free. Loved it and I will be back!“

“This is a To-Go lunch spot adjacent to the Oceanview Diner. It's basically an entire separate restaurant with a different kitchen. I work on Fourth Street, and this my go-to place for lunch. I used to do Market Hall, but the food here is better and the prices are better, pretty reasonable for the bay. You can get a satisfying meal for ~$10 and a good snack for $5. They do a few things really well. All the prepared dishes from the glass case I've tried have been great. Some staples include lentils & feta, chicken salad, potato salad, and there's always a daily special that's been tasty every time I've tried it. You can also combo the mixed greens salad (+ tomatoes, pickled red onion, and dressing) with one of the prepared dishes, which makes for a light and fresh lunch. The middle eastern combo (hummus, greens, pita, dolmas, veggies) is a lot of food and a good deal; the empanadas are great for a snack, and you get some fresh homemade chimichurri with them. The "burrito" is kind of funny (you get two little burritos) but it's cheap and tasty. Tuna toast is a good snack as well. Last but not least, the baked goods are bomb. As I understand it, they have a few different bakers who come in and contribute to the pastry case. All the cookies and cakes I've had have been delicious. The lemon pistachio shortbread, brown sugar shortbread, lemon cake all transport me to a childhood I didn't know I had. All in all, the output of this place is truly impressive. There are so many different little elements to the lunch offerings, and everything appears to be homemade, even the pickles! I don't know how they manage it and run a full-on diner next door, but I'm grateful for it. It's got a locals-only vibe and can be pretty hectic at the lunch rush, but that shouldn't deter you. Also, you don't necessarily have to take it "to-go"; there's two high tops inside and some seating out front.“
