    I'm here at Oakland's iconic longtime Chubby Freeze. What a name! It's been here surviving independently, squashed in between the two giant burger chains of McDonald's and Burger King! The Chub survives! I'm taken here scouting out original Oakland dive restaurants, and this place has been here over 30 years. Maybe different owners during that time, but it survives as an Oakland original right next door to Burger King and McDonald's! Prices have increased of course in the last 30 years. A big burger combo served with a plate load of fries and a drink was just $3.50 back then I'm told. It's $11.00 now I think. Being down in the heart of East Oakland, this is probably not a place you might want to come after dark, unless you're armed I suppose. The food here is great. This isn't your gourmet angus, natural grass fed kind joint. It's a nice made to order burger and good fries. Not fancy inside at all. You come for the Oakland experience ... eat while keeping one eye on your vehicle. It's retro in an Okland way and I hope it continues to survive.

    Steak sandwich with everything

    Oakland favorite only downfall is you have to add cheese to everything Everything is made to order so everything comes piping hot I also ordered onion rings(not pictured) If you want some good food this is a go to but don't expect to get a full meal for 5 dollars Happy Yelping

    It's supposed to be a bacon cheeseburger but they put the bacon on top of my paper wow
    Tina C.

    I sure hate that I like this place bacon cheeseburger because this lady need to fire her staff and get new people they suck they mess up your order then have the nerve to get mad if you ask them to repeat your order back to you they say oh my God They put you on hold and don't come back oh and they charge you different prices too depending on who it is unless you pay attention yes I was charged two different prices for the same thing that I get all the time they need to have better customer service is all I'm saying the service has went down at a great little food place be careful who you hire make sure they care about your business or care about needing a job

    Strawberry milkshake
    Molly L.

    We stopped here for a strawberry milkshake as I've been meaning to stop here for a while now since I've seen it going to the airport quite a bit. It is fenced off between McDonald's and Burger King so it can be easy to miss but it was worth the effort to make it there. The milkshake itself was great, but about a third of the cup was fresh strawberries so it was difficult to enjoy without a spoon. The syrup used for the strawberries was a bit too sweet for me but the shake itself was tasty. My only complaint is that the indoor seating was closed even though the lights in there were on. Additionally, the outside seating area was not well-maintained because there was visible trash and what not. There were only two people working there so that can be difficult to clean up, but that makes eating there a possible issue.

    FISH And CHIPS? This is what I purchased for 8.99! 5 Slimmy Fish Sticks and too many Cold Fries!

    Fish and Chips? This is what you get for $8.99! 5 Slimmy Fish Sticks and too Many Fries! I am so disappointed

    Quick, clean and affordable! I've lived in the Bay my whole life and the burgers remind me of 1/4 Burgers (that are evaporating because of gentrification). It's close to the OAK Airport and any time I'm in the area, I try to stop by. 1) They give you a mountain of fries, and every time they're piping hot! 2) Their cheeseburgers aren't too expensive and you can add bacon. 3) The milkshakes are delicious and they have over 10 different flavors. 4) I've only had the burger/fries and shake, but they have a diverse menu from tacos, chicken tenders, fish sandwiches etc.

    Great spot for a quick burger/sandwich fix. Fries are crinkle cut and the shakes are thick-isciously great!

    Raul went WAY above and beyond!!…read more My friend's car was broken into in Oakland, and both of our gym bags were stolen. I was able to track one of my AirPods to Fentons, so we went in and explained the situation to the manager, Raul. Raul told us that he had seen a couple of black bags outside the restaurant on Friday night. After waiting a day to see if anyone claimed them, the staff had wrapped the bags in trash bags and put them in the dumpster. Raul then did something we absolutely did not expect -- he jumped into the dumpster himself and started digging through the trash to find our bags. My friend and I were prepared to do it ourselves, but Raul did the heavy lifting and eventually found both bags at the very bottom. Thankfully, because they had been wrapped in plastic, everything inside was completely protected. We recovered 100% of our belongings, which we honestly thought we'd never see again. What could have been a nightmare of police reports, insurance claims and replacing everything turned into an incredible customer-service story because Raul took the time to help us. We stayed for lunch and ice cream afterward and made sure to tip Raul and the staff very generously. Everyone was kind, sympathetic and helpful. Huge thank you to Raul and the entire Fentons team. Raul, you absolutely did not have to jump into that dumpster for us, but you did -- and we'll never forget it. Fentons is lucky to have you!

    I won a Bad Walters gift card in a white elephant exchange. I was initially fighting for artisanal…read moreolive oil but decided to let my uncles have it. They own an apartment in Paris and I didn't want to offend them with my usual guerrilla tactics. I'm known to fight dirty and conspire with others during this game and everybody hates me because of it, and I didn't want to be banned from their apartment, as Paris in the fall is lovely. Thus my journey with Walter began. One thing about me, is I respect a place that knows flavors. I don't want basic vanilla, give me some weird and strange and flavorful that will tantalize my palette and ignite my senses. Give me salty and sweet. Give me TANG. Give me these things and DONT give me gas. Bad Walters cracked the code. All flavor, real dairy, no lactose, no gas. Each week they have a different batch of flavors, so there's always something new to explore. There's like 6 flavors to choose from at once and they let me try them all before I selected my choice hehe. I tried to sample 6 flavors at Cold Stone and they took me out back and shot me, but here, nobody was mean to me. Mr. Potatohead is the flavor I landed on--brown sugar custard with peanut butter swirl and chocolate covered potato chips. The chunks of chocolate covered potato chips were lodged in the ice cream and I felt like an archaeologist excavating ancient rocks as my spoon lifted the potato chocolate chunks out of the creamy custard into my mouth. I bought a pint. The Mick Jagger was another joy, with its salty caramel and Oreo chunks. They're lucky Peaches Christ was sold out because I might've lost my mind for a peach cobbler ice cream! They wouldve had to drag me out by the back of my neck like a rabid dog! Maybe next time. All in all, tasty ice cream. Would recommend.

We have been extremely loyal customers ever since. They rotate flavors, but through many months and many visits I don't think I've ever tried a bad one. The flavors are also very fun, not your typical cookies and cream, cookie dough, etc. Although they do have a plain version sometimes. The employees are very helpful and kind letting you sample the flavors. Our absolute favorite is tinky winky- ube flavored ice cream with honey comb pieces. They also sell points to the side- take advantage. You'll want more when you're done! The ambiance and vibe of bad Walter's is perfect. Bright colors, disco ball dripping, fun sayings on the cups, the whole 9 yards. The take home pint we got has Reddit "hate" comments and their responses, it's hilarious. This ice cream store is way more of a vibe than any marketing agent could dream of. Who would've thought I wish I could be a rep for an ice cream company? Oh and they also do a stamp card when you buy pints to get a free scoop. You bring in the containers so they can recycle them. It's a win win for both sides, loves it. Best ice cream ever!!!

Legit place for convenience and good casual Cantonese foods/beverages/desserts. Yes, there are breakfast/lunch/dinner/happy hour deals here depending on promotions.

I ordered a lot of stuff, but only took photos of a few since I showed up hungry. Hainan chicken rice plate, egg and shrimp rice meal, extras chicken, plain porridge, veggies/yu choy greens, etc. Normally, I would go for beverages and baked cheese meat rice dishes. Breakfast looks pretty simple too. It's actually considered affordable in today's economic environment. Everything was legit and good. Only thing I didn't like were waitresses who seem to bus and rush customers with placing orders, but it's understandable during lunch hours and prime time. They will help if you wave them down in busy settings. Afterall, it's about time and money in Oakland Chinatown, but food is done right good. There's plenty of places to sit inside. Worth convenient stops and it definitely adds value to locals visiting Chinatown. I still like Shooting Star Cafe.
