“There is a gentleman by the name Gregg,I believe he is one of the managers,extremely nice friendly ,he has time to say hello to the customers, today that is a rare find.All of the staff is friendly,food good thank you!!!!“

“Always an interesting experience and fun treat. Classic cocktails in a classic atmosphere. Service is on point! Food is innovative yet still comforting and familiar. Never disappointed.“

“Originally, I thought this place was another establishment due to seeing “the melt” on doordash, only to find out it was actually Dennys. I am so glad that wasn’t the case.

I drove by and saw the storefront and had to give it a try. From the moment I walked to the front door, I smelled an awesome aroma. The place was clean, decor was nice and staff were friendly.

The food itself was AWESOME. Generous portions. The burger itself is almost like what you’d see in commercials. The garlic parm fries were super tasty, and not over seasoned. BBQ bacon burger was juicy, and full of flavor. I’ll definitely be coming back. I spent about 30 bucks, but I also got a double instead of a single. To the CEO or Franchisee, awesome job!“

“Great food friendly staffs nice variety menu“

“Loved my birthday dinner tonight! Portions small for the prices in our opinion. A scallops main dish with 3 scallops is small. Drinks were amazing, decor fabulous and great service. My son had to go eat more food afterwards as he was still hungry. Bigger portions would be good. Loved everything else! Great choices, appetizers, main dishes and creative drinks were delicious. Kind of surprised knowing they knew it was my birthday that they didn't offer me a birthday "something" to make it special. For these prices I would expect something.“

“I have been seeing this place since they opened a while back. So I finally gave it a try and I got the hot boy sandwich. And I can definitely say this is by far one of the best sandwiches I have ever had! And for such an amazing price!
If you love sandwiches but can be somewhat finicky about them like me, this is the place to go!
Delicious, portioned out perfectly, and fresh so fresh!“

“My husband and I love the melt! Shout out especially to Gabby and V. Gabby is always on top of her game, she even remembers our order when we pick up and happily gives our extra pickles and ranch:) V is always outstanding in her customer service, filling any request with a genuine smile.
The food is always fast, hot and delicious and never wavers since we started going often in during the summer!“

“A put bull was allowed to attack our dog tonight, they were sitting at the bar by the door. Our dog is well-behaved and well-trained and was attacked walking out of the restaurant. I appreciate places being dog friendly but plz be safe. The food and drinks are great but this ruined the evening.“

“This is my favorite restaurant in Oakland! The food is amazing and so are the cocktails. The vive is is unreal!!!“

“I absolutely love this Denny's out of all of the other Denny's. they always go above and beyond. they have excellent staff. Cynthia is the absolute best there is no other like her thank you for everything you always do and going above and beyond in your job I appreciate you so much.“

“We come by almost every Friday and have lunch at Cato's. The staff is extremely friendly and the service is top notch! It's always rejuvenating to be at Cato's and start our weekend with good food, tasty beverages and a few good laughs with the welcoming folks that work and patronize the Ale House.“

“Good food, lively atmosphere.“

“I walked by the restaurant when I was visiting last week, and read the menu in the window. It looked good and the location was close to where I was staying, so I invited my brother and sister-in-law to join me for dinner that evening. It is clean and friendly, and the food was great, and the prices were reasonable. I had the special for that night, Coq au Vin. It was served on a bed of mashed potatoes, with baby carrots (not overcooked) on the side. Yummy. The sauce was not too thick, very tasty, and not over salted. Compliments to the chef. I got the last order of it for the night. Brother had the chicken piccata and loved it. Brother had a hot toddy, which we agreed was over-nutmegged, but that's just our taste. Sister in law had a Paloma - I don't even know what was in it, but she gave it a thumbs up. Next time in OAK, I will definitely have at least one meal there. Highly recommend!“

“Good atmosphere and a good beer selection. Great food but can be pricey. Great breakfast Friendly staff. Can get a little noisy in the bar but that's to be expected. Always a good experience.“

“We are huge fans of Crush'd so it was no surprise they really did NYE up right - complimentary bubbles when you arrived and a DJ!! They had a prefixed coursed menu party which included many bites from their shareables menu we'd been wanting to try. The team made us feel like royalty, their staff is so kind and knowledgeable on their menu items. We look forward to our next night out at Crush'd!!“

“I LOVE PIES & was HAPPY to find out out about this place! I tried 4 of them: Beef Pot Roast, Chicken Artichoke Pesto, German Beef & Mushroom, & All American Chicken. Thumbs Up to the Perfect Crust & Flavorful stew Fillings. Look fwd to trying many more 😋👍❤“

“What a great find! I asked Google for steak and the Manor Grill popped up first. The food was excellent. Angie was an awesome attentive server. I wish I had a cozy home cooking restaurant like this where I live. You will not be disappointed. Parking is a little slim so you may have to circle the block to find a place but it will be worth it.“

“Mission Hills Cafe is absolutely fantastic. My husband has been eating here for years & I became a regular maybe a year ago & I don’t know what took me so long. The food is phenomenal & the portions are nice. Hector & Sonia make you feel like family and they give the best service. The vibe is beyond comfortable and relaxing. Drinks are also AMAZING! The food is delicious and I love the tacos :-) I highly recommend.“

“The food was delicious and quick to arrive. Service was okay. It wasn't very busy and the waiter didn't check in on us often so we would have to flag someone down for water refills. The busser was clearing the table as we were sitting there and would reach his hand out to each person waiting for us to hand him our dishes.“

“If your looking for a great place to hang out for Taco Tuesdays this is the place.The Restaurant also has fabulous food and great atmosphere for dining in a wonderful environment with great music In or outdoors.
I really have enjoyed both plus people at the Bar are friendly and staff are excellent servers.“

“Friendly, attentive service. Perfect fish and chips, (crunchy batter, soft, moist fish, un-soggy fries), paired great with a double IPA. Cobb salad was loaded, and very fresh. Iron Horse Trail proximity gives biking and walking options, but there's plenty of off-street car parking.“

“we love the vibe, service and menu at GLK on Grand and have been going there for years. On our last visit we were surprised by how salty the food was. I think the cooks are overly generous with salt. Both our brussel sprouts and the scallops were really over salted. Next visit we will be sure to order low/no salt, and send back anything that's too salty.“

“Been on road trip from Texas for a week definitely the best we’ve had so far. Fantastic food and service.“

“The mushroom steak hoagie with onion is my favorite. The steak was seasoned and cooked well.“

“Loved our lunch today ! Bison stew with fry bread and bison meatballs. Hibiscus tea was awesome. Staff was so incredible. Busy and very full today. Great atmosphere.“

“Absolutely love everything we have tried here! Friendly staff and always super clean! Always leave full, satisfied, and happy.“

“So I am always on the prowl for good breakfast joints. This is one of my new spots. I got the corn beef hash two eggs over medium sour dough toast and a cup of coffee. Meal was satisfying and to my surprise it came to just under 20 dollars with a tip. I was extremely pleased and even more happy the place is close to my house where I can pop in and get an inexpensive meal cooked right. Cornbeef was not super oily and the over medium eggs were cooked with no runny whites. Did not even need to ask for hot sauce as she brought it out with out being prompted. Service was good, place was kinda clean but not a concern for me. Good experience, and definitely a place I will visit again.....“

“One of my favorite neighborhood restaurants. The Diggery Inn has everything you need for an amazing meal at a reasonable price.

These hard working lady's provide a comfortable, inviting and friendly place to recharge and relax and refuel.

Doug's Signature was my latest find on the menu. It includes Two Poached Eggs and Chorizo on Toast or English Muffin.
Matt says check this place out!“

“chicken fried steak eggs over easy hash browns and biscuits going to try their omelette next“

“Stumbled across this spot one Sunday afternoon after church. I purchased the crab egg rolls, side of fries, OG lemon pepper party wings, and a green apple lemonade drink. Usually I eat my fries first but babbby when I bit into that crab egg roll it had me humming and dancing in my seat. The crab was so fresh, seasoned to perfection, and the crisp of the egg roll was a win win for the tastebuds! My homegirl ordered the crab bowl and I tasted a little bit and was sold! Service was great the atmosphere was cool too! Definitely will be back! Oh and I was hecka hungry so I didn’t take any photos.“

“Came here to celebrate this summer and had Nick as our server, returned tonight and asked for him again! He’s absolutely the best 👍🏻 great food, great location and fantastic service, just ask for Nick!“

“From the minute I walked through the door I was greeted by Tina Rhae with a big smile. There were a lot of great items to choose from and specials. I got a hibiscus iced tea and the linguisa sandwich. They were both delicious! They have plenty of indoor and outdoor tables so there was room to move around if you have a wheelchair. A perfect spot for large groups of people too.“

“Oh my!!!. One of the best Bacon Cheeseburgers myself has had in a long while!. Love this Emil's Burger & Breakfast!!!. GO!!! JALAPENOS!!!.“

“Tried this place yesterday at OTG: Fort Mason. After eating a bunch of other unsatisfying food I just wanted one chicken tender no sauce. Yes one chicken tender. There was a bit of a wait but I was so happy after eating.It was juicy, flavorful and the breading was well seasoned and had a nice crunch to it. The service was friendly and even they still offered me sauce during my pick up. They probably thought wth, but that is truly what I just wanted haha. Anyways try this place!“

“We just had breakfast at the Cozy Kitchen coffee shop - in a little stripmall at the corner of Washington & Bradick in San Leandro. It's a tiny classic diner, serving basic breakfasts at the most reasonable prices around. Been around forever, run by the same little couple (ever since our friend was a boy & ate here with his family). Husband cooks. Wife runs tables. Well-worn furnishings from decades of diners make it feel like a step back in time. It is the CLEANEST restaurant I've EVER been in - evidence of pride/care/lifelong work ethic. There's nothing fancy on the menu, but if you're looking for bacon & eggs on a budget around Oakland, CA - this is the place. Period. Come support these folks!“

“Good food and service, ambiance a bit sterile, could be warmer with for instance some background music like the standards (Sinatra, Holliday, Martin, Bennett). When we first arrived the restaurant had only a few guests and the room was too quiet, like a library and felt a bit awkward.“

“Great food!“

“Clean, pleasant restaurant with old-fashioned decor, fairly-priced food, and good service.This is located inside Oakland Airport Executive Hotel. The full menu is available from opening to closing. There was only one person working to take orders, cook, and serve food and drinks. One person seemed to be enough though; it's not a popular place. There were only two customers when I visited this place in the evening, including myself. Everything on the menu sounded good, and the one other customer who was there was complimenting the food after every other bite, exclaiming that the eggs were just how he liked them and that the sandwich was perfect.I only wanted a little bit of food, because I had eaten before coming to this hotel. I ordered a side of fries to-go so that I could take it to my room. I was expecting a small container, but after five minutes of waiting, I received a full-size to-go box of fries that came with plenty of napkins and ketchup. My total was $6.62 including tax. The receipt said the fries were $6, but the menu said $5. I didn't bring it up because I got a large portion, but remember to check your receipt.This restaurant is the best part of this hotel, which isn't saying much, but I recommend checking this place out before you open a food delivery app, if you're staying at this hotel.

“This is a basic cafe inside Eastmont Town Center. Nothing too fancy, but if you want to support a local small business and the Center, this is better than the neighboring fast food options. I work at this site occasionally and like the coffee.“

“Some of the most high-quality and innovative cocktails I’ve seen in the bay. Service in general was great. William is brilliant, friendly, and not shy about nerding out with guests about his cocktails and spirits. He made the experience one to remember, and one to hopefully repeat soon. Thank you.“

“Hotel clean. I seen more housekeepers here then I have even seen at any hotels recently. Everyone was beyond helpful. The courtyard and pool area was clean, quiet, and safe. Fencing is around entire area of the hotel. Beds super comfy, great air conditioning.Only downfall was we traveled with a disabled adult and few times we noticed handicap parking was being used by someone that did not have a handicap permit in/on their car.“

“Good foods , server are friendly“
