“My go-to spot when I want fresh, solid food!! 🌯 Great portions on the burritos — and the one in the picture is just the regular size… imagine the upgraded burrito 👀🔥

I’m always trying something new there and it’s always worth it. Super friendly staff!!

Cons: the chicken can be a little dry/tough sometimes… and maybe throw in a few more chips plzzzz 🫣🫣“

“Food and service was excellent“

“Great food and if you like hot, they’ve got it!“

“Wow talk about comfort food! Here for the first time and I had their seafood jambalaya and beignets for dessert. Both delicious and the service was top notch. I will definitely return!“

“We had a great experience until they called last call. We asked for one more drink when we she said we can only do shots. We purposely wanted mixed shots such as lemon drops and green tea shots. She told us we can only do well shots… really rude and doesn’t make a lot of sense.“

“I had the salmon croquettes and they were absolutely amazing!!“

“Great venue.
Came here to see Tommy Castro. We have seem him a few times and LOVE his music. This time he played by himself and it was awesome. So intimate and memorable.

Food was tasty. Service was friendly but a little slow. I think that’s hard to do when you have everyone sitting down for a show asking for drinks and food at the same time. Maybe iif they get more staff it would be a little bit smoother. Especially with the price you are paying.

Definitely recommend. Look forward to coming again.“

“The most tender brisket I may have had anywhere. 🥰🥰“

“I’ve just recently discovered ibringdasmoke and I’m glad I did! My first order with them was the smoked brisket…it was so good! I just recently ordered a slab of ribs from them and my friend and I loved it! We got a little sample of the Mexican street corn which was very nice of them. I thought it was ok, but my friend enjoyed it. Their spices and the tenderness of their meats are great as well as their bbq sauce. The meat isn’t overly salty which is great. I have recommended this place to my friends and I will definitely be back!“

“I ❤️ these guys chicken catfish💕💕💕“

“Delicious food. Great staff. Laid back yet vibrant Oakland atmosphere. I love this place!“

“Our Kingsmen group meets here once a month for breakfast. The food, service and atmosphere is always excellent. Denise is Usually our server and does an excellent job ensuring that our food and drink orders are correct and piping hot (cold drinks cold). She is always pleasant and friendly in spite of our large group. Thank you Denise, all the cooks, and wait-staff for making Sukie’s Country Kitchen an Institution for our community.
Bblessed and keep up the excellent work.

“Great food and great service.“

“Went to dinner with a few of my lady friends after seeing a show in the city, this was the perfect ending to a phenomenal day. I had the crab cakes and they were delish, a couple of people in my group had the fried chicken/fried catfish combo and that looks delicious as well. I highly recommend Lizzy’s Cajun Cafe.“

“Outstanding customer service. Black Owned and Operated...“

“I've gotten food here before and it was good. This time I came in on Sunday for the beignets. There was no filling inside so it was alright. The young black guy and Asian girl was very nice as well as Hispanic man who's the cook. Some good folks here, I'll be back. Definitely recommend.“
