Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Grand Lake, Oakland

Brian S. • December 5, 2019Excellent burger! Homemade bun, homemade mayo. Cooked perfectly. I love it when you get salad AND fries standard for $17.

K.C. M. • September 8, 2017Amazing pizza - the crust on the deep dish is crunchy goodness. Excellent cocktails, great atmosphere, often difficult to stop by - make a reservation.

Brian S. • November 21, 2019Killer new spot with a full bar. Still has the complicated two person seating system where it takes 5 mins just to figure out how long you’re going to wait for a table. My secret ingredient is pesto!

Steve D. • September 26, 2010A favorite dessert is their strawberry charlotte -- strawberry mousse topped with a mountain of berries and surrounded by ladyfinger spongecake.

Akshaya S. • February 12, 2023Good Ethiopian place. Great Shiro and delicious honey wine.

Alex T. • August 13, 2014Karaoke on Sundays, fun trivia nights and acoustic karaoke. Friendly staff and really great burgers

Henry W. • September 25, 2021Susie is the best owner around. Our kids grew up here. Try the new Chicken and Waffle. The fried chicken is fried hard and crispy and should meet the standards of the south.

Shanti B. • September 12, 2013The tavern burger is delicious! Lots of unusual extras available. We also got the plum and peach bread pudding which was perfect! Great for hanging out and chatting
