just really overpriced. I'm used to Bay Area prices but $15 dollars for a single serving of chicken potpie - that was barely enough for my 10 year old - is over the top. We bought 2 portions ($30) thinking it would be adequate for our family of three - but probably needed twice as much. I think in order to equal an entire pot pie you'd need at least 6 portions - so that would be $90 for a single pot pie. Instructions for preparation were simple - though it didn't specify what temp the oven should be. I guessed 375 and it turned out fine. Flavor was fine but nothing spectacular. I want to support a local business - but the need to bring down their prices.

Their sandwiches are delicious. Fresh ingredients. And a nice choice of salads too. I come here almost every week.

Two Local Girls sell their prepared food at Rocky's Market from the refrigerated section in the back. I discovered them last summer when I stopped by Rocky's to pick up some Bee Grateful honey caramels, which I had bought by mail from the farm in Colorado but had run out. I had bookmarked Rocky's for that reason because postage was so high for the shipping, then I learned that if I bought a certain amount I could get free shipping, but I had run out of the last batch I had ordered. I was delighted to see they had Caesar salads, as I have been on a hunt for aa good Caesar since Pollara Pizzeria closed in Berkeley. Theirs was the best, but Two Local Girls' cam close. I also bought a tuna sandwich and a caprese salad. Yesterday I stopped in at Rocky's again. I headed straight for the cold cases and picked up two Caesars and a mushroom and spring pea risotto. I will have one of the salads tonight, along w/ the risotto. I looked on the risotto package for cooking directions and didn't see any. When I just checked their website I didn't see cooking instructions either, which is a strange oversight. I will check again on the package, but in the meantime I have sent them a message on their website. If I don't hear from them by dinnertime I will wing it. I see they do catering, which we may want when we hold Alan's memorial service, so asked them about that. I love that their packaging is all compostable. Later: I didn't hear back from them, not surprising on a Sunday night, and there were no instructions on the package, so I heated the oven to 350°, w/ the risotto in its compostable container, minus the lid, in the oven as it warmed, covered w/ aluminum foil. When it reached 350° I set the time for 15 minutes, then stirred it to test the temperature and gave it another 5 minutes. It was hot enough at that point so I emptied it onto a plate and had it along w/ one of the Caesar salads. It was very good. I would buy it again. The salad was wonderful, w/ a strong anchovy flavor to the dressing. It's the closest to Pollara's salad and the best of the ones I have tried since they closed. I'm thinking it might be worth the trip over to buy more when I'm in the mood for a Caesar. Still later: Corinne did get back to me by email and confirmed that I did the right thing w/ the risotto, which pleased me greatly! She's a co-owner of Rocky's as well as Two Local Girls. Such nice people!

Don't make the mistake of going here expecting to have breakfast or brunch. Even though their yelp website says that they serve breakfast and brunch, they do not. They stopped serving brunch and breakfast over two years ago and still have not updated their yelp. Wasted my time driving out there to get a bagel and all they had was some prepared food in a refrigerator. No counter service whatsoever. All the food was lunch or dinner premade meals nothing for breakfast or brunch. Food was fine but they need to make an effort to update what yelp says so people don't waste their time.

Healthy, hearty food. Friendly service. Ample parking next door. Variety of food to choose from. It's just way too overpriced for my taste =)
Rocky's Market
UPDATE: The Two Local Girls kitchen has moved to our new Rocky's Brooklyn Basin location at 288 9th Ave. in Oakland. Visit us for breakfast lunch and dinner on our 15,000 square foot out door patio.

The food is fantastic. Especially easy to grab and go after work. Try a couple entrees to share. Yummy.
Rockys is amazing . They have wonderful food, staff and incredibly safe and clean precautions during this terrible crisis. Thank you all !

This is a great local market of which I find myself getting happily lost among all of the alternative products. I have special diet requirements and find so many options here.

The best local market out there, Super friendly, super caring.

One of my favorite places to pop in on a weekend morning after taking my dogs for a romp at Dimond. The menu is small, but really good. Love that they have vegetarian and vegan options. The weekend special burritos, are super tasty. Also fun to order and walk around Rocky's market and pick up a few local treats while waiting for your order.

Placed an order with them 60 minutes in advance for a small business meeting which required 5 sandos. First time trying it out on fellow business buds. A little bit risky, but, hey that's what makes life fun. 1 Vegetarian, 2 BLTs, and 2 Turkey Cranberry. All came on a requested Chiabatta roll. Neatly nestled in a small brown fold together box. All were appropriately labeled. The total price for the order was very reasonable. Every one at our meeting enjoyed their sandwiches, and were pleased with their order. Tasty and fresh, with very nicely appointed mixed greens and cheese (as requested). The order was done very professionally and was available at the requested pick-up time. The staff was courteous and friendly. Fo' sho' we'll be dropping by the next time we are in need for some delish sandos!
