I want to support a local black-owned business and write a positive review, but I’ve been here 4 times and there’s always something wrong with my order, they’re out of menu items, or just incredibly slow to get orders out even when the place is nearly empty. I can live with that, however, the last time I was there the meat was undercooked, and the fries were so salty that they were just plain inedible. This restaurant is badly run and it just gets worse. I feel bad for the great staff that works there.

Omg the chicken and fries here are SO GOOD! Chicken is breaded perfectly and the fries are so yummy. I got the chicken tenders and they were HUGE (pause) only complain would be that I ordered them spicy and they were not. If you like to dip, order extra sauce!! Can’t wait to go back!!

Pretty amazing taste, the picture does not do justice to the tenderness of this Chicken sandwich. Let's not forget about that honey butter sauce or whatever it is, oh lord. I'll be back for the honey tenders next time.

Overall: Standard fare.The extended review...Food:Honey Butter Chicken Sandwich - 3/5 - A decent sized piece of chicken. Flavor of it was standard fare. I do love me some fried chicken. - Friendly staff. - Has that old school diner feel to it with some counter seating along with some outdoor benches.

My partner and I had an amazing experience here. The service was impeccable. The cashier was so patient and nice to us. He had a great smile and personality.Food was incredible. Flavor was well-balanced. Meat was juicy. It was fried to perfection. Maybe a little bit greasy, but way less greasy than other fried chicken places around Oakland/Emeryville.Portion size was huge. Definitely get the sweet tea too. They don't mess around with food or flavor.Parking: Parking can be hard to find if you come at peak hours ( lunch /dinner)

Cute place. Took about 30 minutes for our order to be ready. Chicken sandwich was not crispy at all. Coleslaw was too sauce heavy for me.

There are hardly any options for gluten free foods. But everything on the menu looks and smells incredible.
