Soul Food Restaurants in Oakland, CA

“I walked in with high hopes and with my group of friends. I walked out thinking the food was pretty good and the service was not great. Our server was gruff, condescending, and very inflexible when it came to splitting checks. The food was tasty and not as special as I was expecting. I'm not sure if I'll be going back.“

“THE BEST CHICKIN IN INDY“

“I got this delivered via Caviar so can’t speak to atmosphere (I think it’s a ghost kitchen maybe?) but the order was fast as heck and legit one of the best meals I’ve eaten in recent memory.A ton of food, generous portions, and just mind blowingly tasty. I got the pork bowl and every element was perfect. The meat was tender and so flavorful. Every combination of elements in the bowl creates a perfect bite.I can be kind of picky about food and this was a revelation, especially on a rainy winter night.I also ordered the bacon Brussels sprouts but I’m so full from the bowl I’ll save those for tomorrow.The world’s loudest YUM!!!!!“

“I can't remember the last time I had fried chicken that was this good. They make it to order so it takes a little longer. But it comes out hot and crunchy. The chicken itself is juicy, they must brine it or something. I also think their story is pretty great.“

“So don't let the appearance deter you away from the opportunity to taste the food. There's not really inside seating it's more of a take and go. Is a couple of tables if they're available you can use them.

But, if you love fried fish this is the place for you. It's reasonably priced and the food is good. My favorite dessert was that lemon flavored pound cake.

I will say that I got the yams and they were okay, but would have been better if they'd have been a little bit sweeter and had more nutmeg.

I definitely would return

Parking: It's a tight parking spot so if you can't drive I don't recommend“

“I just ran across this restaurant location, and it reminded me of a great young-lady, and her mom that use to own, and cook the most amazing fried fish, and sides. I see the small children and they would be about the age pictured but was small babies when I first started eating there. I am going to stop by there today, and my hope is that they are back, and not sure of how and when they may have returned, but I am going to be that regular customer as before. Please let it be them they cooking was amazingly great, and the service was top tier...I cannot wait...“

“Thank You Pierre Pierre for making my birthday special. The food was so delicious. The steaks, Pasta, Mash Potatoes, Lobsters, Mac and cheese and chicken even the salad. I love the singing Happy Birthday. The napkins a host places it on your lap very elegant. My mother is picky she was very impressed by this restaurant and service. We will be back soon“
