Infuriatingly slow service during lunchtime for a cold premade sandwich. All she had to do was pack it up. Took 20 mins for that.

They didn't list all the major ingredients in the Big Surr Melt. I have a mild tomato/pepper allergy and didn't notice them until it was too late.
It was delicious but I'm gonna be in a world of hurt :(

Delicious! I am not a seafood stew fan, but the seafood stew here is not just yummy and also has so... many fresh seafood ingredients inside. And also love my fried chicken waffle and cheese cake. ( I was told by a customer in front of me, the cheese cake is only Friday and Saturday.) Highly recommend this lovely place.

First time eating here. The oyster sandwich was soggy with the cabbage dressing and my oysters were fried soft yet tasty. I would like for my cabbage to be put on the side for future and I will request my oysters fried crispy. My quinoa salad was good and tatsty.Very nice customer service.

The Big Sur melt a beer was a perfect evening dinner for a solo traveler on business. The walk between 4th street Residence Inn to this street on 9th was easy but saw more homeless people than actual people...what is happening?

The lasagna took 30 minutes to come out, it was cold when I got, it was covered in about half a centimeter of oil, I asked for a refund and was told no, and that I could only exchange for something else, which I did not have time for. You give me gross food, waste my time and and then deny to give me a refund for your poor product and service. I’ve never left a restaurant feeling more aggravated. Ridiculous experience.

I have never eaten an oysters poboy before but if I tell you this one was the absolute best when I visit Oakland again I'm definitely going back to get another one. My mom had the burger and fries she loved her food as well

We had Nani and her amazing team cater a birthday party picnic for us and we were so incredibly pleased with every aspect of it. The food, for starters, was absolutely fantastic. Homemade potato chips, homemade hummus, the most beautiful crudite platter with the freshest farmers market vegetables, and of course their delicious kale salad packed with yummy ingredients and delicious dressing. Everyone was raving about the food. Also, coordinating with Nani and picking up the food was smooth and simple. She thought of every detail and was one step ahead of me, making it easy and stress-free. I highly recommend The Cook and Her Farmer for a special event (or just for a yummy lunch)!
Best kale salad I've ever eaten! My vegan sister shared hers with me! Yumm!

I was in Oakland for a conference held at the Marriot, 2/27-3/1/25. A group of us had the pleasure of finding this awesome place. Everything about it was top tier. The staff were pleasant and attentive and the food was delicious. I believe it was the owner that welcomed us with a chilled glass of wine. In spite of long lines and limited seating options, we want to thank you for providing a very pleasant dining experience.

Fantastic food, service was good but the server seemed alittle overwhelmed. Owner was very professional and was working very hard. The hard work of the staff really shows in the food they prepared. Highly recommend that grilled cheese and oysters.
