Suggestions for American Restaurant near Oaksterdam, Oakland

Nino E. • November 9, 2014Crab Benedict and Bloody Mary's are excellent at this quirky little ex-brothel. Never too long of a wait, can get a little cramped inside but there's ample outdoor seating.

Marie S. • November 5, 2013Finally a superb restaurant in Oakland.

Bob L. • November 24, 2011Great hole in the wall joint....friendly service as well. Their fish sandwich is so tasty!

_ • July 16, 2015Chitarra carbonara and marigold pappardelle are a must! Pasta here is amazing. If you're getting the pizza, add an egg. Wash it down with an old Cuban.

Brian S. • January 3, 2022A curated list of burger & chicken sandwich nostalgia. The menu is a tour de force. Have fun guessing which American classic inspired which sandwich. I enjoyed this place on an emotional level.

Marlon E. • August 14, 2019They have a variety of fruit bowls and smoothies to choose from. Refreshing during a hot summer day. Toppings can be added for a buck each.
