Very chill spot to watch the game. Great for NFL or NBA. Their fried foods are solid and always fresh. Good prices all around. Glad this is in my neighborhood.

I gave this place 3 stars only because it was a little too quiet. I wanted some music to create a livelier atmosphere. (Nothing too loud) It was extremely clean and plenty TVs for watching sports. Food needs a tad bit more flavor.

Mostly a sports bar atmosphere but the dinner menu is delicious. There's a back room for larger parties if you want to have a quieter party. I was with a group of 14 celebrating a family birthday including ages 11-85. Everyone inc vegetarian and gluten free dietary restrictions found good options and raved about the food!

Five stars always love to come watch the games and chat with the regulars. I love the at home feel but especially look forward to seeing Ariel's bright smile behind the bar. She is so charming and really knows how to make everyone feel happy and taken care of. Definitely worth coming back again and again

A family friend was recently promoted to lieutenant colonel in the Air Force. To celebrate this great achievement, a party was held in his honor on 08/28/2022 at Grand Oaks Restaurant & Sports Lounge. At first, I was like, why a sports bar? As it turned out, he's a regular and wanted to have the party here. Question answered. When my brother and I arrived at the venue, the staff was setting up the food, which was served buffet style. They were very friendly and welcoming. The interior had an old school, neighborhood bar feel. It totally reminded me of the TV show "Cheers". The buffet spread was incredible. Except for the whole roast pig, everything was made in house. The baked salmon, roast sirloin of beef, prime rib beef stew, ribs, and chicken were all cooked nicely and delicious. During the middle of the party, one of the owners busted out the karaoke machine and the party went from good to great! A wonderful time was had by everyone. Great friends, chill vibe, and delicious food. What else do you need for a great party? IMHO, Grand Oaks did a great job. I look forward to come back and try their other dishes. 5 stars. BONUS MATERIAL: - Street parking only. - A certain Bay Area celeb hangs out here. I saw her that day.
Great service and decent pizza. Owners very friendly.

This place is by far one of the worst so called sports bars I've ever been too. The food was awful, nasty chicken wings, incomplete salad and pizza was tasteless. Limited beer on tap, your a sports bar! The so called waitress was horrible no rounding the room asking if we wanted water or anything, just kept her lazy self behind the bar counter on her phone doing nothing. Never again!

The staff were very helpful, the service was quick and the food was great. My dad had a small Pizza and I had the fish and chips both were delicious.

Sadly, Not what it use to be. Understandable with COVID and everything. They reduced their menu selections. We use to love their early bird dinner menu. Not only was it reasonably priced but also well prepared. It's become more of a sports bar atmosphere.

Food is meh, beer is IPA oriented and meh, but ...the owners and staff super nice, crowd is awesome, and it's a super neighborhood sports bar. It is loud, with large HD TVs everywhere.. no bad seat in the house. At the end of the NBA playoffs, when the Warriors win, they crank up the music. Folks are dancing and happy. They put in ceiling fans since COVID, but other than that, it's about as crowded and loud as before. No one hassles you if you mask up between bites and sips. Seriously, this is my favorite place to watch a game. Don't come, don't order the steak, and don't take the seats my friends and I come early to get. With a beautiful cross section of Oakland showing up (both age and race) and getting along, we don't want the secret to get out.
