Fried Chicken

“One of the best fried chicken in a long time. It looks dry but there's a lot of juice and flavor once you get into it. If it was delivered I don't think it would taste as good. The fried cod was good but not great because it wasn't juicy or buttery soft.The cornbread sides were yummy. The Mac and cheese was cheeeeesy and thick and medium spicy. Collard greens were normal. Green beans were sweet and yummy. Fries were normal fries.I asked for tap water since I didn't want a drink and the server looked surprised (and partly disgusted because I wanted faucet water?) and asked if I wanted bottled water instead. I said sure so we could end the conversation and didn't see the charge on the final receipt. I wasn't sure if the server forgot to add it or bottled water is free. Overall not a complaint but if you want to avoid drink confusion, either don't order water or bring your own lol“

“As I was waiting hangrily 45 minutes after I placed my order and 30 minutes after the ETA on my phone this painting soothed me until I ultimately received what I drove over an hour to get. Yes, it's that good. Please order with your phone, not in person. It makes things operate more smoothly for everyone and decreases the wait time for the crack. I mean food. Well I don't know what they put in their chicken, but full disclosure you might start experiencing side effects if you don't get your fix. Consider yourself warned. It can become a pricey habit and there is no rehab to get you off their sauce. Have you twitching like Tyrone Biggums for a "Sando with training wheels".“

“The hardest thing about Burdell is that you can't eat everything in one sitting but you really want to. Tonight was our first time dining here, and we are already looking forward to going back. My husband and I started with cocktails and they were absolutely delicious. Then we had the chicken liver and waffles and we all but licked the plate. For dinner I had the fried petrale sole and my husband had the pork neck. We also couldn't resist getting the whipped potatoes, which were everything you want potatoes to be. We both loved our entrees and stole bites from each other. Very flavorful, very lovely presentation, and nice portions. For dessert we shared the chocolate puddin and it was also excellent. We were well taken care of by all of the staff and got some lovely drink recommendations that paired well with each course. We really enjoyed this dining experience and look forward to returning. We would like to do the family dinner with beverage pairing next. Love this place!“

“My wife and I went to Rob Ben's restaurant this past Sunday, and was happy that we did. We were searching for a good down home soul food restaurant and to our surprise we found a gem. Rob Ben's is the prime example of what a soul food restaurant should be. It has the down home southern charm located in Emeryville, California. Everyone was so friendly from the staff to the customers. It was like as soon as you crossed the threshold of the door everything became so peaceful. We will definitely be returning customers because the food was so delicious!! We will enjoy the rest of our food for dinner tonight. We recommend Rob Ben's SOUL FOOD restaurant to everyone searching for great food and friendly service. Thank you Rob Ben's staff!! Save some food for us!!“

Jusla Eats / Jusla Catering Caterers •
1955 Broadway, Oakland - 8.44 miles

“Chef Lala of Jusla Eats was a joy to work with. She was professional, responsive, and runs an efficient operation. Her food was top notch - I ordered the honey garlic chicken, fried catfish, mac and cheese, greens, yams, banana pudding and peach cobbler for an extended family and friends meal. Everything was cooked to perfection, and seasoned just right. Everyone went back for seconds, and raved about the food. I started recommending her to my friends before I even left the reception!“

“As a family, we have tried Steet Food Vibes regularly over the last year. Our favorites are Aloo Tikki Chaat, Talaab Tikki (on secret menu), Samosa Chaat, Bharwa Golgappa, Channa Bhatura, Mix Vegetable Pakoda, Paneer Pakoda, Aloo Tikki kathi, Paneer kathi, Crispy Gobi (cauliflower) Kathi, Masala Chai and Gajar Ka Halwa.We find the food taste authentic Indian street food. I can tell everything is freshly made with minimal oil and bursting with flavors. The chole bhatura (kids favorite) reminds me of food as I have in India. Pakoda's are crispy and have a special spice sprinkled on top. The mint and tamarind chutneys, yogurt are of thick consistency unlike some other restaurants where they can be watery. My daughter loves the juicy chicken kathi. The vegetarian Kathi’s are flavorful with carrot pickle touch. The fresh masala chai at the end is typically a nice close to your mealRestaurant is clean. Service is friendly and quick. For the food quality and service, they offer, I feel the food is very reasonably pricedLast week, I ordered catering for a home party. My guests loved the food namely Samosa Chaat Aloo Tikki Chaat, Talaab Tikki, Paneer Pakoda, Chicken Tikka and Pav Bhaji. Their special samosas had a nice thin layer covering and were crispy. Aloo Tikki had a filling in the middle. Pav Bhaji was flavorful. Chicken Tikka was a youngsters favorite. I had a couple of guests who are also great chefs. Their super positive feedback is always a testament to food quality and taste.Thank you, Street Food Vibes, for the dine-in experiences and making our recent party successful with you catering!“

Fried Chicken

“We stopped here on our honeymoon back in June 2021. I still think about about this food almost every day. Hands down the best greens, mac n cheese, and yams I have EVER eaten. It is magical. I just want to move to Oakland and live upstairs so I can't have it all the time. ???“

Catfish

“I got the 333 combo with three fried oysters, three fried shrimp, and three pieces of fried catfish. Everything was cooked PERFECTLY! Moist and tender meat with a crispy crust. Absolutely classic. The combo was a lot of food! It came with Louisiana style hot sauce, tartar sauce, and ketchup, as well as plenty of fries.Service was cheerful and very friendly. There isn't any seating, so it's really take-out only.The one minor criticism I have is that the fries were pretty mediocre, but they really aren't the main attraction here anyway.“
