“Great place with even better food and service!“

“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.“

“YESSSSS. Nearly perfect. I’m from NJ. I grew up on NYC and Philly Italian delis and boars head delis everywhere. I believe that access to a respectable deli is a basic human right. Yet every deli on the west coast manages to screw up a very simple staple food item… the sub, the hoagie, the grinder… whatever you wanna call it. NOT brothers deli. They have a solid list of ingredients and allow totally custom sandwiches. They have semolina (sesame) rolls. They have mortadella, they let you order fresh mozzarella or roasted red peppers on your sandwich. They don’t try to put pastrami on an Italian sub. I could go on and on.

They. Do. It. Right. Period. Go and get you some!

For the owners: soppressata and hot coppa (capicola) would be epic additions to the menu. Please stay in business. I need you.“

“It was our first time at The Melt, and Luis made the whole visit feel easy and welcoming. He helped us choose what to try, and his recommendations were on point. The Meltburger was juicy and full of flavor, the Mac Daddy was crazy good, and the Three Cheese Classic tasted like real comfort food. Luis checked in on us, made sure everything came out hot, and you could tell he really cares about the guest experience. Because of him, our first visit turned into a new favorite spot.“

“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.“

“Great food friendly staffs nice variety menu“

“Customer service was phenomenal. The burgers were outstanding delicious. I had a salad as well. It was a nice day so I enjoyed my lunch outside on the patio and people watched. What a lovely day in Oakland. Don't forget to enjoy one of their housemade lemondades. Enjoy :-)“

“My first time and will not be my last. The food is delicious, atmosphere is great and service is wonderful.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The atmosphere is fantastic and wonderful staff. I would recommend serving soft bread with your charcuterie board instead of hard bread crackers. Other than that the other food options are amazing. It was sad to see The Vine wine bar close down so Crush’d is my new wine bar going forward to enjoy with family and friends. Great wine options to choose from as well.“

“Good food, lively atmosphere.“

“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.“

“The crab cake appetizer was delicious and could make a meal for 1. The chicken piccata was huge and way too lemony/sour for my taste. The pork slider and jambalaya were very good. Children were served quickly and enjoyed their meals. The servers were very attentive. We arrived just as they opened and were warmly welcomed for our reservation.“

“Can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this place. Everything here is solid - from breakfast to lunch. Friendly service; the food comes out hot. Better than most restaurants in the area. They also have a small bar area; was watching the Argentina versus Cape Verde World Cup game there.“

“Great food!“

“Having dinner at Commis is an incredible experience. The food was delicious and uniquely prepared. Our servers were wonderful and provide us with descriptions of what was in each dish and gave us information on background and color. Thank you for a wonderful culinary experience. We will be back again.“

“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 😋👍❤“

“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.“

“My experience at D.Monaghans on the hill was very good I must say! The brunch we had for mother's day was great!!! Oh my plate I had an omelette that you can build your own omelette menu I put all vegetables in my omelette with a side of turkey sausage any black cup of coffee also I had a bowl of shrimp and grits they were delicious so don't sleep on this place. Also my family enjoyed the food as much as I did even my grandson couldn't stop eating the great food. The dinner menu have a vast amount of great meals on it and there a great bar with good drinks and IPA!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“food was great atmosphere was nice recommend going there“

“This place is a staple in the Washington Manor area. I'd guess that the service is what people come for. They're always super nice and they're never so crowded that you get overlooked or forgotten. It's an old family/meeting spot for us around here so I fully support them.“

“Excellent food. Made from scratch“

“So this is a small place. Food is good and served quick. Come in, sit down and order something fantastic.

I parked my emoto on the side of the building ( front) one entrance into the closed off path around the restaurant ( good bike parking) not for motorcycles ( too heavy and big) ,bicycles, ebikes and emotos are just fine.“

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

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

“Good breakfast, friendly servers, and coffee cups never stayed empty.“

“The decor was festive and abundant in the best way possible, and the cocktails looked unique and curiosity-piquing. I narrowed my choices down to a Cafe Sua Daddy and the Soy Sauce Old Fashioned.

I love a savory drink and the sweet caffeinated espresso martini-esque drink had a thick blanket of just-salty-enough foam reminiscent of the salt cream that tops a boba drink. The Soy Sauce Old Fashioned catapulted me back to my childhood, eating slabs of tofu drenched in shoyu at my grandma's house. I loved the custom soy bottle presentation, it was just strong enough to tolerate being poured over a large rock while maintaining its flavor.

My partner had the Umami Tots and Mapo Tofu. I couldn't resist the siren song of some crispy potatoes dunked in chili oil cream, but managed to hold myself back on the tofu- even though it smelled amazing.

Can't wait to return and try the new seasonal drinks, along with more snacks.“

“Finally, was able to try this location. Small dining-in area but most will take out anyway. I had the combo fried fish platter. It was fantastic, although the fish portion was a bit overcooked but it was still tasty. It also came w/fried oysters and fried prawns with the obligatory french fries side. I took off a star on the food part (for the overcooked fish - it was a sole/flounder-like fish that was probably more than dipped in the frying medium - but like I said, it was still tasty). I still gave a 5-star overall rating. All the rest of the fish was fried/cooked perfectly. They oysters were especially good. I think on my next visit, I'll get oyster platter. The french fries were excellent too but there were lots of them, I couldn't finish them all. They also have poke, sushi/sashimi and that will sampled on the upcoming returns. They're open every day at 11am. I will be back......“

“Food was excellent, unfortunately the service that are waitress give us was not good at all, she take are order and after that she never went back to check if everything was ok r if we need anything all’s, we wait for are dessert 🍮 like 30 mints until I ask another person for it 🤷‍♀️. But otherwise it was excellent place and good We just had bad luck with the person that was in charge ford are table“

“The Diggery Inn looks like a modest cafe, but actually it is quite exceptional. The service was great, and our breakfast was perfect. In particular, the blueberry pancakes were superb. And as a final delight, at checkout, KitKat bars are a take-away gift! It's really a great find.“

“Great variety of tasty dishes on the menu and the food was delicious! I loved the “secret” specials - you need to ask to find out what they are. Fun cocktail options. And, all of the dessert options were awesome! My fav was the cheeseburger - YUM! I would definitely go back!“

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

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

“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!“

“It's the best for niggaz like me“

“I absolutely love Fifth Wheel and have been going almost every Saturday for the past few years with my partner. It started when he moved to the area and we were looking for a new breakfast spot. The other spots just didn't hit the mark, but Fifth Wheel has been consistent. Everyone on staff is so nice and the restaurant is cozy. It's not too big inside, so you may be waiting, but it never takes too long during the peak times on Saturdays. Ordering to go is also a nice and quick option if you don't want to wait.“

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

“Zenti Bistro is a wonderful place to enjoy a delicious and relaxing meal! The food was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented, and the portions were satisfying. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, while the service was friendly and attentive. Everything came together for a really enjoyable dining experience. Definitely a great spot in San Leandro, and I’d happily come back again!“

“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!“

“Pleasant & courteous greeting, Neat & clean tables, Quick table service & ordering, Good food, served hot“

“good drinks, good food, friendly service, outdoor dining, i'll be back“
