Yum! I remember going to Brezo back when they were located at Point Richmond, and I've heard about…read moretheir move to Solano Ave for quite some time. Most recently I finally was able to give them a try. So glad we did! We came around lunch time and sat at a booth. There were other worker bees grabbing a quick lunch. The service was quick, efficient and friendly, and we ordered the French onion soup to start, and split the fried chicken sandwich and Philly cheesesteak sandwich. The sandwiches come with a side, so one plate we did fries with a house-made aioli and the other plate, their quinoa kale salad. Delicious. Such hearty portions! The bread is so fresh, the meat juicy and ample, and flavors just right. We also ordered beer on tap, shoutout to Oakland United, and tried their house-made hot sauce that they also sell by the bottle. Would love to come back to try brunch here too. I also saw a patron ordering the quinoa kale salad with fried chicken, and yes, that's the vibe! Pricing is fair for the quality and quantity, and street parking available (although the restaurant is located at the bottom of Solano where it tends to be a bit more busy). Women-owned biz, and they also were on Check Please! Bay Area.

We were a party of 5 (3 children) and they had a booth (which we always fit) but she refused to seat us there. There's also 2 four top tables open, they could've easily added a chair to one of them. She stated she has to stagger to seat people and said it would be a 20 mins wait. My cousin and I have both worked/raised in the restaurant business and would never give such horrible service. We left and will never return due to this poor experience. Ended up going to M cafe - we checked in and let them know we're good with a 4 top table bc we have 3 kids. They were PACKED, no empty table, with a 15 mins waitlist but we got seated within 5 mins - at a 4 top table with a chair added!! Quick and excellent service there!!

Parking can be a bit tricky as they don't have their own parking lot, so street parking only. Majority of seating is outdoors but shaded. They really put a lot of time and dedication to the ambiance. They do have a small parklet area if you want some more shelter. It's fast casual, so order at the window and they'll give you a buzzer that'll go off when your order is ready. I had the breakfast sandwich entree. As you can see, portion sizes are generous and the food did not disappoint! Breakfast sandwich was lightly toasted and the potatoes were well-seasoned. Customer service was a bit lacking. Had to go back to the window a couple of times to ask for stuff and felt bad having to bother them every time. Aside from that, great spot with plenty of seating for a brunch/lunch date.

My absolute fav part of the meal was the dessert. WOW. The peach and strawberry cobbler was so fresh. You can even smell the butter before taking a bite. The vanilla ice cream brought everything together. A bit pricey, but definitely worth the splurge!

The combo comes with 3 tenders, a sauce, and side. Tenders tasted pretty good. They were easy to chew and had some flavor. Ranch was good and clearly house made. Waffle fries were ok, not that much flavor and not a lot of waffle fries at all for the price. I don't know if I'd come here often because of the price, but it's fried chicken in Northside of Berkeley.

Two chicken quarters on a bed of basmati rice, a side salad and condiment cups of a green hot sauce and a white garlic sauce. They also gave me a cup of complementary tea which was slightly sweet and smelled of warm spices like cinnamon and clove. The chicken was delicious, the rice brightly colored yellow and fragrant. I liked how the salad balanced against the richness of the spices in the chicken and rice. Their sauces pair nicely with the food as well, making each bite even more full of flavor. Don't let the simple exterior fool you. There is magic and smells that waft behind that takeaway window. Looking forward to ordering their grilled chicken when I have a bit more time.

We put our names down when we got there and waited around 20-25 minutes to get seated. The booths inside are cozy and our staff was quick to bring out our drinks and get our orders taken. I decided to get a chicken apple salad on mixed greens with a pineapple mimosa. My husband got a tuna melt with home fries with a lemonade and our kids split a 3 stack order of the buttermilk pancakes with a side of bacon. Everything was made perfectly to order and delicious.I have to give special kudos to my husband's meal - the bread was crispy, the cheese was gooey, and the entire meal was comfort food goodness. You could tell that they make their lemonade fresh in house - it was very tart but cut through with the subtle hint of sweetness.
