Eliza BethJune 20, 2016Enjoyed the chilaquiles here. Pork belly hash was tasty but could have used a bit more pork belly. Found a pretty big egg cell chunk in that dish tho. Bloody Mary was delish! Will come try dinner!
Sugar Society SFJanuary 3, 2015Recommendation: don't miss out on your opportunity to have their Bloody Mary. I had the French toast with apples and fresh whipped creme and savored every bite. Mmmm
Dave ZissouFebruary 20, 2013good wine, particular favorites for me have been, the meatloaf. their salmon always seems to amaze me each time i have ordered it, it hits the spot. its burgers is one of the best, ps. Ox Tail, dang.
Jaweed NaweedJanuary 21, 2013Surprisingly Great Cap, made perfectly. And the pastries are amazing. The food, especially the burger is one of the best in town. But if you just want a great cap and need to relax your mind, this it
Tom ANovember 23, 2014Great beers and drinks. The food was excellent as was dessert! We all agreed we will come back as the menu is unique and caters to pork!
Cameron WJune 27, 2015The burger is worth traveling to Oakland for, good beers on tap, a rotating selection of other gastropub selections never disappoints.
_November 30, 2014Great for brunch or a dinner date. Try the oxtail poutine if it's your first time around.
You can't go wrong with anything that you order. However, for dinner I recommend the burger with cheddar and for breakfast I recommend the egg sandwich. Also, for beer, check out Linden Street.
Charlotte ChanAugust 9, 2016A plus for the ketchup & mustard, vegetarian options aren't many but the salad and corn I had was good. Open area is nice and chill, good for afterwork quick bites
Love this Resturant. The burgers are amazing. Also try the ox tail poutine, it is a very good dish.
Have brunch here, the Chilaquiles with salsa verde and the baked Eggs ala Cazuela with Grilled Veggie Mojo were fantastic.
Brook ShelleyOctober 17, 2016Pretty delightful American fare. Try the pork chop with the mashed potatoes and trotter gravy. The charcuterie was so-so, but the mains were great.
Craig McGreeOctober 12, 2017Popped in for a beer late in the day. Bar staff are ‘on it’, friendly and the pub has a great feel 👍🏻
Robynne RoysterNovember 30, 2011LOVE IT! Even if you arent in the mood for some of the fancier dishes, trust me...order their soup du jour, and a burger and it will be the best you've ever eaten!
Gilt CityMay 25, 2011This restaurant serves up true variety. Whether you’re in the mood for Spanish rice, fresh papardelle, Yucatecan chicken, or just a great local beer in great local company, Chop Bar delivers.
Alika CooperJuly 29, 2011If u like steam punk and rasta vibes then u will certainly enjoy the irie woodsy vibration emitting from the clientele to the table tops and awesome Louise Nevelson-like assemblage on the walls yo!
Rico PaboritoJanuary 19, 2016Don't come here when you're starving! There is always a line, so come early. The wait is worth it, though.
Best burger. Do not pass up any opportunity to try their bacon!!
Amanda FletcherNovember 19, 2013Amazing risotto, whether with chicken or fish. Very casual, But the price is also on the higher side. Worth it.
Sean McVayMay 10, 2018The Chop Bar Burger was literally the best burger I’ve ever had. Do not miss out!!!
Brian LeBlancMarch 29, 2015The pork chops with garlic mash potatoes and broccoli was great nice little spot and the service is great
Ryan BlockAugust 5, 2017Everything here is undervalued, or at least, worth the price. The selection is refined, crafty, and impeccably prepared.
Victoria U.October 3, 2016GET the burger. Don't question it. Just do. Also the mac and cheese. But mostly the burger.
Jose GonzalezOctober 23, 2013Arugula Salad is Delicious- pears, candied almonds, blue cheese, everything i wanted in a salad....Yummy
Excellent burger and mac n cheese is some of the best I've ever had. Delicious cocktails and wine on tap.
Barry KwokAugust 19, 2016It's all about the pork belly hash. A meager but surprisingly filling portion.
Since literally every dish on the menu is delicious you might be inclined to skip over the lowly Chop Bar Burger. DON'T MAKE THAT MISTAKE.
Italia CardoneAugust 28, 2020Quick service, crispy fries, tasty salad. The chicken, burger, and salmon were all dry and over cooked.
Good people run this establishment. Make an effort to attend their pig roasts during the summer - you won't regret it.
TereneApril 17, 2013Great atmosphere, excellent service, stiff drinks, really good food unless you order steak. The 'chef' doesn't know his temperatures :/
Try the Strawberry/Hibiscus Cooler - Refreshing. You can also add a shot of something. The bartender recommended a dark rum.- XMarch 22, 2012Breakfast served 'til 11AM is a great time to use the free Wi-Fi while you catch up on email. The wifi password is: 1234512345
Chop Bar burger is amazing. Best burger in East Bay? You be the judge.
Michael PenquittOctober 6, 2015Very German-style food, which I, as a German, have to admit was excellent.
The burger is perfect. Dress it up, you won't regret it.- Italia CardoneAugust 28, 2020Quick service, salad dressing and fries were the best items of the order.
the burger is the one solid standout in an otherwise lackluster menu.
Try the Pan Seared Rainbow Trout - Fish perfectly soft yet crispy, and the vegetables are tender.
best burger in the bay area. pretty sure that's due to crazy amounts of butter.... but it's so worth it.
Laura POctober 5, 2014Brunch servings are pretty big. If you aren't starving, you may want to split!
Urban_CandorApril 16, 2013Go for the meatloaf and the chocolate chip bread pudding, you won't be disappointed!
Sahar ADecember 30, 2015Not that impressed. The duck breast was over-cooked, even after I specified being on the rare side was ok. Friend wasn't impressed by burger and other friend said her soup was cold. Jo-Joes were good.
