“That was so good that by the time I ate one piece when I walked across the bridge to the train station. I swear I wanted to turn around and get more even though I had a big box of chicken. I am sitting here fantasizing about eating more right now. Until we meet again Rosemary Chicken until we meet again!!!“
“The smothered chicken was cooked to perfection, with tender and juicy meat that practically melted in my mouth. The rich and savory gravy that accompanied it added an extra layer of depth and made each bite even more satisfying. The dressing was delicious. It had the perfect balance of flavors, with a hint of herbs and spices that complemented the chicken and gravy perfectly. And let's not forget about the collard greens. They were cooked just right. The seasoning was spot-on, enhancing the natural flavors of the greens without overpowering them. Overall, this meal was a true culinary delight. The combination of smothered chicken, dressing with gravy, and collard greens created a harmonious symphony of flavors that left me craving for more. I could've used a little less gravy but still very satisfying. If you're looking for a filling and comforting meal, I highly recommend giving this dish a try. You won't be disappointed!“
“As I was waiting hangrily 45 minutes after I placed my order and 30 minutes after the ETA on my phone this painting soothed me until I ultimately received what I drove over an hour to get. Yes, it's that good. Please order with your phone, not in person. It makes things operate more smoothly for everyone and decreases the wait time for the crack. I mean food. Well I don't know what they put in their chicken, but full disclosure you might start experiencing side effects if you don't get your fix. Consider yourself warned. It can become a pricey habit and there is no rehab to get you off their sauce. Have you twitching like Tyrone Biggums for a "Sando with training wheels".“
“Listen…I just moved back to San Francisco after living in Texas for some time and also have family roots in Louisiana. My grandfather used to have his own gumbo spot there and his recipe was my absolute favorite until I came to Gumbo Social. The food here is SO good and I can’t wait to come back with friends and family. Thank you thank you thank you for making my day!“
“The food, service, ambience, music...everything was FANTASTIC. What a wonderful place. We will definitely come back soon- a great place to bring out of town guests or celebrate a special event...or just have a really great date night. We had dinner here and then went to a comedy show at Speakeasy Brewery around the corner- so fun!“
“The hardest thing about Burdell is that you can't eat everything in one sitting but you really want to. Tonight was our first time dining here, and we are already looking forward to going back. My husband and I started with cocktails and they were absolutely delicious. Then we had the chicken liver and waffles and we all but licked the plate. For dinner I had the fried petrale sole and my husband had the pork neck. We also couldn't resist getting the whipped potatoes, which were everything you want potatoes to be. We both loved our entrees and stole bites from each other. Very flavorful, very lovely presentation, and nice portions. For dessert we shared the chocolate puddin and it was also excellent. We were well taken care of by all of the staff and got some lovely drink recommendations that paired well with each course. We really enjoyed this dining experience and look forward to returning. We would like to do the family dinner with beverage pairing next. Love this place!“

“100% Halal meats! This place is delicious, my husband and I got takeout and we ordered the Punjabi masala bhindi (mild) Malai Kofta (mild) Chicken curry (medium) Chilli chicken (mild) Tandoori roti and plain rice The mild is perfect but the medium could be a tad more spicy. Looking forward to trying some more, especially the Indo Chinese.“
“One of the best fried chicken in a long time. It looks dry but there's a lot of juice and flavor once you get into it. If it was delivered I don't think it would taste as good. The fried cod was good but not great because it wasn't juicy or buttery soft.The cornbread sides were yummy. The Mac and cheese was cheeeeesy and thick and medium spicy. Collard greens were normal. Green beans were sweet and yummy. Fries were normal fries.I asked for tap water since I didn't want a drink and the server looked surprised (and partly disgusted because I wanted faucet water?) and asked if I wanted bottled water instead. I said sure so we could end the conversation and didn't see the charge on the final receipt. I wasn't sure if the server forgot to add it or bottled water is free. Overall not a complaint but if you want to avoid drink confusion, either don't order water or bring your own lol“
“OMG, the seasoning on the fried fish was so good!! I ate up all of the cabbage because it was full of flavor. And the candied yams were just perfect. These guys know what they're doing! They're in a food truck in the parking lot of the Hunter's Point Speakeasy.“
“Chef Lala of Jusla Eats was a joy to work with. She was professional, responsive, and runs an efficient operation. Her food was top notch - I ordered the honey garlic chicken, fried catfish, mac and cheese, greens, yams, banana pudding and peach cobbler for an extended family and friends meal. Everything was cooked to perfection, and seasoned just right. Everyone went back for seconds, and raved about the food. I started recommending her to my friends before I even left the reception!“
“Great quality food made with LOVE! Wonderful family business with great service to match. I really enjoyed the salmon sliders.. by far my favorite on the menu. The salmon nuggets are nice and juicy and comes with so much flavor. Definitely recommend trying this place.“
“Oh my the place resembles a true image of a "hole in the wall", but Oh!, don't let the location nor look fool you. The food is absolutely amazing! The chicken will have you thinking, "This reminds me of home!" The sides were delicious too and lastly, the counter staff were very polite and respectful. When I'm in the area, I'm most definitely going to return to, Gus' World Famous Fried Chicken!!!“
“We stopped here on our honeymoon back in June 2021. I still think about about this food almost every day. Hands down the best greens, mac n cheese, and yams I have EVER eaten. It is magical. I just want to move to Oakland and live upstairs so I can't have it all the time. ???“
“This is the best soul food....

“I got the 333 combo with three fried oysters, three fried shrimp, and three pieces of fried catfish. Everything was cooked PERFECTLY! Moist and tender meat with a crispy crust. Absolutely classic. The combo was a lot of food! It came with Louisiana style hot sauce, tartar sauce, and ketchup, as well as plenty of fries.Service was cheerful and very friendly. There isn't any seating, so it's really take-out only.The one minor criticism I have is that the fries were pretty mediocre, but they really aren't the main attraction here anyway.“
“My wife and I went to Rob Ben's restaurant this past Sunday, and was happy that we did. We were searching for a good down home soul food restaurant and to our surprise we found a gem. Rob Ben's is the prime example of what a soul food restaurant should be. It has the down home southern charm located in Emeryville, California. Everyone was so friendly from the staff to the customers. It was like as soon as you crossed the threshold of the door everything became so peaceful. We will definitely be returning customers because the food was so delicious!! We will enjoy the rest of our food for dinner tonight. We recommend Rob Ben's SOUL FOOD restaurant to everyone searching for great food and friendly service. Thank you Rob Ben's staff!! Save some food for us!!“
