“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.“

“Ordered this early before closing through DoorDash so we could have a late night meal. Delivery was prompt and the food smelled great.

We got two 2-piece dark plates and a side of fried okra. We got different sides for the plates so we could try everything.

The chicken was easy to re-heat. It was tasty! I wish I could try it fresh next time. The fried okra was nicely battered and crispy too. For the sides, we got mac and cheese, beans, potato salad, and coleslaw. I want to try their collard greens sometime.

We drizzled our own hot honey on the chicken and it was so good.

Fried okra is one of my favorite things to eat so I'm glad this spot exists. Solid place for a meal!“

Adobo Pork Bussdown

“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!!!!!“

Suga shays freak treats Soul Food • $
MacArthur Blvd, Oakland

“This is a simple old school greasy spoon worth checking out if you're looking for a decent basic breakfast spot. The decor is dated & the service is hit or miss, but the food is pretty good! They have all of the classics like pancakes, waffles, eggs, bacon, omelets, sausage, hash browns & toast. They also have burgers & sandwiches for lunch. These type of neighborhood mom & pop restaurants are becoming harder to find, so I recommend supporting a small business & give them a try if you're in the area.“
