Soul Food Restaurants in Oakland, CA

“Great food and if you like hot, they’ve got it!“

“We had such a great night at Burdell. The food was delicious - comforting and satisfying, but still thoughtful and really well done. We especially loved the pork strip steak, ham salad and cornbread. Great cocktails, super friendly service, and just an all-around fun dinner. Definitely a place we’ll come back to.“

“The fried chicken is crispy outside and juicy tender inside. The various chicken combos are good deals. There is a wait for orders because the food is not precooked and sitting under heat lamps. Parking can be difficult and the small parking lot fills up quickly. I will definitely be returning!“
