    Food is hot and fresh. Bread is delicious with their jam! Service was attentive and friendly. Ambiance is very family friendly forward and open for all size groups. I'd come back and try their other dishes.

    The Charlie (with side salad)
    Audrey I.

    Came here on a whim with my friend to catch up! 900 Grayson is truly a hidden gem, though perhaps not so hidden, given its feature on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Regardless, this spot feels underrated, and for a brunch place to sport no wait times while serving excellent food is a rare commodity in the Bay. I ordered The Charlie, their take on an ahi sandwich. Lately, I've been on a tuna kick, and this was the paragon of excellence. The tuna developed a beautifully crusty exterior while maintaining a bright red hue inside. It also featured the quintessential Bay Area Acme bun which I believe is the pinnacle of great bread. Honestly, this was probably one of the best tuna sandwiches I've ever had. And, the side salad that came with it, another standout, with its brilliant yellow beets that I insisted my friend try. I could wax poetic about these beets all day long, so sweet and incredibly fresh. I thought I'd regret skipping the fries, but the salad was just too good that I didn't miss them, a rare occurrence for me. My friend ordered The Demon Lover, their whimsical take on chicken and waffles. Unfortunately, this was pedestrian. The tenders were only a slight step up from Dairy Queen's frozen tenders, and the particularly skinny waffle wasn't anything noteworthy. We were in and out in pretty much an hour, though I did wish that we had more time to catch up. Toward the end, the waitstaff started eyeing our table which made us feel a bit rushed. Still, the food is reasonably priced and delicious, so I guess I can't complain much (especially with zero wait times). For sure will return !

    It's a really good place for breakfast and quick mea-up with friends. I got there about 8:30, but by 9 it started to fill up. I got the demon lover, which was amazing with both gravy and syrup. The waffle wasn't like the big crispy kind, but I liked this soft and flavorful. Food came out pretty fast. Service was fast but the servers I got were not very pleasant. My server seemed to just want to talk to frequent patrons. He never checked back in after the gave me the check. I had to give my check to the other one who seemed really dry. Def taking it to go next time.

    Cute entrance

    Let me tell you about my 1st time experience here, when you first walk in, the entrance is definitely an eye catcher, everything in the front makes you want to touch and see everything, which I thought was pretty cool! The food was was DELISH! I ordered the Steak and Eggs, (Medium-Well and Over-Easy) both was perfected to MY liking! They were both very delicious, but what caught my attention was the IN-HOUSE made Plum-Jam, can you bottle up some if this and send me home with some of this GREATNESS !?! The service is AMAZING here, the staff is great and the Owners Chris and his brother (sorry brother didn't catch your name) both WONDERFUL owners! They both made my 1st time experience an unforgettable one! If you're in the area and want to grab a bite, this is definitely a spot I recommend stopping at 10/10

    The food and service was great! My friend and I both had the chicken and waffles. The chicken was super juicy and we really liked their gravy. The only issue we had was the lack of street parking. If you go during peak hours, be prepared to drive around the block multiple times!

    I was very satisfied with my breakfast, the coffee strong the way it should be and the waiter was awesome very attentive with fast service.

    Another Diners Drive Inns and dive joint under my belt. I'm so glad I had an opportunity to eat at 900 Grayson. This small unassuming restaurant has a great old school appeal. Its tasteful homey interior and interesting decorations are warm and welcoming. The atmosphere is very comforting and so was the menu. A simple selection of interesting creations done very well. I was impressed with the service and how personable our sever was. He was as cool as the ambiance. If you have one chance to visit a triple D joint in Berkeley make it 900 Grayson.

    I recently visited 900 Grayson for weekday breakfast, which is offered until 11 am. It's a cute spot in Berkeley with both indoor seating and an outdoor patio. Because we came on a Tuesday morning around 10:30, it wasn't crowded at all and we had a lot of options for seating. We opted for the patio as it was a lovely day out. My friend ordered the popular Demon Lover ($16), which is their signature fried chicken and waffles dish. I took a couple bites and thought it was solid. The gravy was quite rich though; I was surprised to learn it's a vegetarian (onion-based) gravy. For myself, I got the the Tom Boy ($16), which comes with poached eggs, potato, apple and parsnip corned beef hash, and white toast. Unfortunately, I found it to be a bit disappointing as it felt like separate pieces combined together rather than a cohesive dish. It was still good but just not what I was expecting. I ate the toast with their home made mixed berry jam and that was delicious. Overall, we enjoyed our meal at 900 Grayson. I'm glad we came on a weekday so there was no wait.

    Simple and sweet brunch. Friend recommended this place and we decided to give it a try. Plenty of street parking nearby. A lot of people seem to enjoy their fried chicken & waffles, and the gravy really elevates the whole thing. I opted for their tofu scramble which still had a nice spice & flavor to it as a lighter option. I also ordered a soju mojito which kicked off my day. It was balanced and boozy just the way I like it. The prices were very reasonable for brunch and not breaking the wallet, something I enjoy when I attempt to imagine I could make it at home. A small menu, but a mighty one. The inside is very homey and cozy with some outdoor seating. Service was fast and attentive the whole time.

    While visiting, our friends encouraged us to plan to have breakfast at 900 Grayson, a unique breakfast & lunch restaurant located at 900 Grayson in Berkeley! While they are famous for their Demon Lovers breakfast: fried chicken with waffles! We decided to attempt to have the lighter, Potter Creek: scrambled eggs with gouda cheese, hash browns and delicious toast! The service is impressive with our coffee being refilled before we had a chance to ask! Although it was a cold and rainy day, customers kept coming in and at 9 am, their intimate dining area was packed! They also have two very cool cool coin operated kid friendly old fashioned mechanical toys on the wall. For $.25 cents you can watch a chef prepare eggs or maybe pizza or get your fortune! We will definitely return on our next visit!

    Cute interior with funny names! Came here on a Tuesday morning and it was very ambient! We were sitted next to a window which was a fun experience-- though not much activity going on outside. The workers were very kind and sweet and got us sorted up with water and our older relatively fast. There were a bunch of flies so watch out! Other than that, we got the: Potter Creek: Delicious, loved the herbs and the bread-- though the hashbrowns were crunchy and crackly The Not Belgian Waffle: I loved the butter on top and the strawberries which provided some tart. Fun experience for $32 including tip! Will be back.

    I came here on a Saturday morning ~9 AM with my friend for brunch! Outside, there were some street parking spots available. We were seated inside and did not have to wait. There were also some outdoor seating options as well. The inside is feels cozy and homey. The server was friendly and welcoming. I ordered the demon lover with the maple syrup and gravy. The gravy was delicious and creamy. Honestly, gravy is my favorite part of any meal and the chicken was a vehicle for the gravy lol. The chicken was moist but a bit bland. The waffle was tasty with the chicken. They also offered some homemade hot sauces for the chicken and those were also good. Overall, I think this place is a West Berkeley gem. I would come back to try other things on their menu.

    Ala carte chicken with gravy (keto!)
    Sandra K.

    The gravy is so so good! I mean the chicken is too. But the gravy!! My son got the chicken and waffle with gravy. I didn't want to have so much carbs today so I ordered the chicken Ala carte and gravy. I am so glad they have that option because it was the perfect portion for me. While the chicken was beautifully fried and tasty. I thoroughly enjoyed the thick gravy! The texture and flavor was heavenly - probably loaded with heavy cream and fat. Haha. It was a full house here during lunch. Street parking, but didn't have trouble finding a spot. Chill lunch spot.

    Do they offer half & half for the coffee, or just milk?

    Half and half

    Are pets allowed?

    I'm not sure about inside the restaurant but there is an outdoor seating area, very informal.

    Any enticing gluten-free breakfast or brunch options?

    Is 900 Grayson open for dine in yet?

    Yes, as of when we dined there earlier today 6.24.2021, both indoor and back patio dining were available. The owner is very gracious and the food is fantastic!

    Is the fried chicken spicy?? I can't eat anything with heat.

    Nope not spicy chicken at all. I can't eat spicy either so their demon lover dish was good for me They have homemade hot sauce you can use to add a bit more spice

    Can you make reservations?

    Only mon-fri and for parties of 6+

    Do they have outdoor seating and beer?

    Outdoor seating: Yes

We had been to Tarocco for lunch and figured we would ask them for a quote, too. My daughter warned me that the owner is trying to be an "influencer" on Instagram and posts photos of herself in crop Tops so I should beware, but that's fine by me. We called to get a quote and had a discussion. After we gave the owner all of our information, she told us she wouldn't give us a quote unless we came in person (?!) Which is weird because this isn't how restaurants work. Typically for events restaurants will give you a quote via phone or email for the sake of convenience. We had gotten 3 quotes already from other restaurants via phone. Making us drive 45 mins just to get a quote is a total waste of time. Especially if we can't afford it. So my daughter called again, left a VM explaining we couldn't come in person due to time constraints, and again asked for a quote. No reply. We waited a few days and called again. No reply. Finally we got a voicemail from the owner saying that she didn't like my daughter's attitude ?!!! Apparently you're not allowed to ask this restaurant how much they charge for events unless you're face to face. This lady has absolutely no idea how to run a restaurant. We took our business elsewhere and recommend that you do, too.

It's also one of those places that makes you want to stay. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and generous. Every time I come here, I tell myself I'll pace myself... and every time I fail because it's just that good. The burgers are loaded and perfectly balanced, the fries are always crisp (never soggy, which is rare), and everything tastes high-quality and made to order. You have to try the chicken and waffles. The waffle batter tastes homemade and the butter takes it to another level... it's one of those dishes you keep thinking about after. I'll even DoorDash it all the way to Jingletown. The patio setup is really well done... there's a mix of larger tables for groups and higher bar-style seating for smaller hangs. The wooden furniture and cushioned benches make it comfortable, and they've got heaters for colder days and umbrellas when it's sunny, so you can usually pick your ideal spot. You order at the window and then just hang out while you wait... it's a relaxed flow and the food comes out pretty quickly. The staff are always kind and welcoming, and the whole place has a relaxed, homey vibe with really good music. Highly recommend... just come hungry.

The food always looked really good, but for whatever reason I always ended up ordering from somewhere else. Well, I finally did it. I finally ordered from Cali Alley, and all I have to say is, why did I wait so darn long? Door Dash was having a 2-for-1 deal on the Cali Alley Burger, so I ordered one of those (and got another for free) , as well as on the small mac and cheese, so I ended up with two of those as well. I got fries as he side for the burgers and saved the second burger and mac and cheese for the next day. I also bought a small side of veggie fried rice for lunch later in the week. OK, let's start with the fries ... wow. Super crispy. Don't know what they do to them, but I think I almost ate all the fries that came with one of the burgers before I even touched the burger. The fries seemed to have a coating like some fries do to make them extra crispy on the outside. Whatever it was, it made them so good, I couldn't stop eating them. I was almost too full for the burger. But who are we kidding? If there is one thing I am good at, it is eating more than I should. The burger, which is described on Door Dash as "char grilled, fresh ground brisket and short rib burger, served on a toasted brioche fun with crisp lettuce, tomato onion marmalade and garlic aioli" was thick and incredibly flavorful. I couldn't stop eating that, either. It was that good. I ordered it medium, and it was pretty pink, but it was sooooooo flavorful, and all the toppings worked well together. I didn't get any cheese on it because I wanted to try to burger by itself and not mask it with cheese. I might try adding cheese next time, but honestly the burger is so good, I almost wouldn't want to cover up its flavor with cheese. Oh, I almost forgot. When you order on Door Dash, you can opt to have them include a small side of their chocolate-chipotle bbq sauce, and I highly recommend that you get it. It's a really interesting flavor and is good for dipping the fries in. I didn't try putting it on the burger, but that might be good, too. The mac and cheese was OK. It's important to note that I enjoyed the flavor but it is more of an eggy consistency than a saucy mac and cheese if that makes sense. It has a nice kick of black pepper, which I liked, though. The vegetarian fried rice was also fine but could have used a little salt. All that to say, don't be like me and procrastinate, get the Cali Alley Burger and fries ASAP.
