“This place never disappoints! So good“

“I’m touring a condo in Oakland for a client making an offer and I stop for a quick bite at a tiny sandwich place next to the Grand Lake Theater. OMG, Unbelievable sandwiches, smoked meats, homemade pickles, peppers🫑 and memorable pulled pork, etc. I hang out for a few minutes while Jerry makes my Cuban sandwich, and he has me try their smoked bacon, homemade meatballs, and more. Jerry’s the best and I love this place. Can’t wait to tell my client about it!! Check out Modigliani Cafe, next to the Grand Lake Theater. #modigliani #localbusiness #Oakland #localgem #restaurant #sandwich #grandlakedistrict #holeinthewall #localjoint #bayareafoodie #pamparkerproperties #realtor®“

“Woah... I didn't know what I didn't know, but I learned what I had been missing out on! An incredible venue with the most gracious hosts and the finest vodka in all the world. ART everywhere, history and culture and friends and enjoyment abound. This is my new favorite place.“

“I was looking for a salad somewhere other than Mixt and was directed here by a friend. Their salads are so good, full, fresh, and they're so flavorful you don't need much dressing at all. It was so good that I went back for lunch the very next day. I've only had their grilled chicken in a salad, but it's delicious and can be gluten free. Definitely worth the DoorDash delivery!!“

“The chef Mike came out to meet us . The owners and staff were super friendly and attentive to our orders . The food was really fresh and the spices and flavor were amazing. I love the fact we had a option to create and build our own salad ...Welcome to Walnut Creek“

“Absolutely the best Ethiopian food in the area. The ladies who take and prepare the orders are very polite and helpful. They sell the vegetarian half and full orders as well as coffee and some sweets. Authentic and delicious.“

“food was great, lind of pricey but worth it“

“100%recomendado lo mejor el café ☕️ super rico 😋 👌 lo mejor muy bonito el lugar“

“My picky husband really liked the veggie burger 😊“

“Ordered delivery thru Slice. Delicious. Can’t go wrong. Been looking for NY style pizza on West Coast for a while that makes me feel like I’m in NYC. This scratched that itch. Can’t go wrong. I had pepperoni, pineapple, and jalapeño.“

“We stopped here on a whim as we were looking for something new after a workout class.

Walking in there were plenty of tables open. This place has an enormous bar area as well. It must have been a sports bar in its former life.

We ordered the Roti to start and my wife ordered the spring rolls with shrimp. I went with the roast duck over rice. The Roti was fine… it seemed like they put their roti in a panini press and just served it like that, so not a lot of flavor. The Thai restaurant down the street (infinity) has a much better roti. The curry dipping sauce was really good though. My wife said the spring rolls were “fine”. I really enjoyed my duck over rice dish though. The duck was moist and full of flavor and the hot soy sauce had a nice kick to it.

Service seemed a bit off, slow to get water for us and hot sauce, but everyone was nice.

I’d come back for the duck rice, but I don’t know if this place would get elevated to a “must return”.“

“Absolutely loved this pizza place! The pizza was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The crust was perfectly baked — crispy on the outside and soft inside. Toppings were generous and high quality.

Customer service was excellent, staff was friendly and welcoming. The store was clean and well maintained. Order was ready on time.

Highly recommend this place if you’re craving delicious pizza. Will definitely visit again! 🍕“

“Excellent food and owners! Always fresh.“

“Me and my bf came here for valentines day. One of the best dining experiences I have had in a long time. Friendly staff, delicious food, 0 misses. Can't wait to come back.

Our meal:

Prawn and garlic noodles, roti and curry, karaage chicken, Thai ice tea, sticky rice and mango.“

“I been eating here since early 2000’s.

One word. BUSSDOWN.

Memories were made here. After smoking a swisher and drinking a Sobe.

Had to slide there often. Thank you for your service. Ucit.“

“Such a great meal! Lovely people and awesome experience dining by the lake. There’s a lot of construction outside, so it takes some navigation skills to find, but it is absolutely worth it! You’d pay 2 times as much for this quality and innovative food at any other restaurant in the Bay Area. Will definitely be back!“

“Such a gem in the neighborhood. I eat at Plenty for lunch as often as I can! The food is healthy, delicious, affordable and has a local vibe all the way around. The person who is always at the register is so friendly, nice and happy it's contagious I would go back just for that.“

“Shapeshifters is a great place for seeing artistic ideas, either to give or to get and the beer isn't bad either. Come out and support local artists they'll be glad you did and so will you.“

“I had the chicken Alex had the pork loin both cooked to perfection �“

“In all my travels, I look for what I call "happy food." Happy food for me is healthy, nutritious, tasty, nicely prepared, and served by smiling people in a clean environment. Oori exceeded all my happy food requirements and then took me for a ride through food blissfulness worth each bite. I had chicken teriyaki, grilled salmon, and spicy tuna triangles. On the side, I complimented it with miso soup and ginger. Each flavor was distinct and made my taste buds ooh, ahh, and wow for more. I'll be back here for more without question. I felt like I was dining at a 5-star restaurant and found the food reasonably priced.“

“Good pizza !!! Also affiliated with Haddon Hill Cafe. Nice local businesses“

“My friends and I have visited The Crêpe Pan, Oakland, on the corner of Piedmont Avenue and Linda Avenue. for a girls night a few times. Everything that we chose on the menu was absolutely delicious. We have tried several of their savory and sweet crêpes as well as eggs, Benedict and salads. Very delicious gourmet foods that we very much enjoy. They have a variety of menu items that are all delicious, well-made, and healthy options. The service at the crêpe pan is phenomenal, the staff are very friendly, polite, accommodating, and catering to the needs of their customers. We had the wonderful opportunity to connect with the owner, Joseph as well. On a regular basis, both Joseph and his wife Mai are on the restaurant floor helping and make friendly connections and smiles with their customers. We love the location, customer service and delicious foods. Thank you so much for all that you do for our Oakland community, Joseph, Mai and staff. We will definitely continue to visit you for girls nights and date nights. ❤️😊“

“I hope I find this in heaven. Hands-down, one of the best Carnitas I’ve had. Run out of a taco truck in a very unassuming location. Juicy, tender and they give generous portions. I got that fairly late at 2PM and everything was sold out except for the carne. The person I spoke to said to come early usually before noon if you want to have a taste of everything else. There are two tents set up with tables and chairs.“

“Good place for salads. The downside is that the burger meat is shrinking and getting thinner to match their burger buns.Today was my last day of wasting money on their almost paper-thin burgers. I'll still patronize them for salads and occasionally a shake“

“My favorite sushi spot in the whole Bay Area. That's incredible how much food (really fresh and flavorful) you get for the prices they have. The service is always friendly and quick. We normally just walk in and get a table but on weekends dinner time there could be a wait(20-30 min). After discovering this spot a couple of years ago we always eager to cross the bridge to have the best sushi in a non pretentious atmosphere.“

“One of the delicious pizza- highly recommended“

“The pizza is incredible. My husband called in for a couple pizzas and the guy who answered the phone on Sunday morning was very nice. We got our pizzas and there was only one chef working. He looked busy but our pizzas were ready in 20 mins. Beanie guy, you’re the man! We will be back even if the pizzas are on the expensive side, it’s worth it. Couldn’t be happier these guys opened up near us“

“Great burgers and curly fries! Clean and well spaced tables.“

“Small place, but the winners for me are the salads, the Cobb in particular. I get the small Cobb with blue cheese dressing mixed in, and it's a great lunch salad with plenty of protein to keep me satiated for a while without having extra carbs and for a good price. I like that their hardboiled eggs are never overcooked! I dont really like pizza(even though I've made thousands of pizzas at a few jobs), but my kids always get a small, and they love it. I've tried it before, and I do admit that they have a good pizza dough. The man that's always there is nice, respectful & quick.“

“If you love thick pizza, Detroit style pizza from 8MilePi is the way to go! So cheesy and filled with toppings. Smog pizza is my fav. There’s multiple locations so it’s convenient to satisfy my pizza cravings. They also have yummy wings and a packed chopped salad if you want other options. Their pizzas are huge and are so filling for lunch or dinner.“

“Had east coast white clam pizza. I requested crispy crust that’s well blistered and burnt in places. Came exactly as I requested. Unfortunately, dough was way over salted!! I won’t order again, unless they offer a much less salty crust!“

“We were having a good-bye dinner with good friends who are moving. The atmosphere is above average burger joint, just perfect for the food. Service was very good with just the right amount of attention. My wife had their Barney's salad of which she ate her fill then brought almost half of it home. I had the French Burger that was cooked beautifully medium-rare and needed no condiments. The 4 of us shared an order of steak fries which was more than enough. As a long-time resident of Pittsburgh, PA, I especially appreciated the Heinz ketchup for the fries. We will be back.“

“I ordered the chicken noodle and tomato soup to be delivered. The soup was very good, but the bread was NOT sour dough as expected, it was a cut in half hoagie roll...yuk! This was a HUGE disappointment as I only eat sourdough or dark rye bread. Esp in the bay area where Sourdough is the go to. You need to serve what you say you have. This kind of stuff drives me crazy. It is as if the customer is not going to know...not good!“

“New ghost kitchen at Adeline Food Hall. I ordered the Large Mixed Plate via DoorDash. I picked bbq chicken and fried chicken. Plate came with mac salad and rice. The chicken is laying on a bed of rice. Prices are higher than Ono Hawaiian BBQ, and portions are slightly smaller. But it's delicious food and served fresh! 4-stars.“

“The food is always fresh for the buffet, they wait until someone orders the buffet to start it so you’re never getting old pizza. Service is a bit slow but they’re always nice. They play 3 or 4 Tame Impala songs on repeat, every single time I’ve visited. Not sure what’s up with that. Solid buffet deal if you’re showing up super hungry.“

“No frills family run pizzeria. I got a slice of the specialty pizza and a Mexican coke, you absolutely cannot go wrong with this, the pizza was super flavorful I honestly loved it. I wish we had more of these shops that sell pizza by the slice🥹 esp small businesses!
The pizza was def not fresh which was unfortunate because I know with certainty that a fresh pizza would’ve been even more fire 🔥 will come back for sure.“

“Food was great and the atmosphere was wonderful“

“Food was good they need to leArn better sanitation skills when come off break you wash your hands before returning to the line and dealing with customers food“

“Staff tries their best in the front, but the back needs to be better about stocking up the hot plates.
The steak is always out, 3 trips here and the steak is never available.
They need to plan ahead better in the back, not sure if the togo orders get all the steak, but its crazy the main protein in never in stock.“
