Lai L.

We came by here before a concert at the Pavilion. It seems like the go-to place for a pre-game before the concert. It's open seating, and there were seats available so I am glad we didn't have to wait. It definitely gave off a mom-and-pop vibe. Everyone there seemed like they were either regulars or concert-goers. Our server was pretty attentive even when it was a busy night. The drinks were good, but needed an extra kick. I ordered margaritas and it was refreshing, but sweet. For food, we ordered the sampler, calamari and two different pastas: Shrimp and Chicken Diavlo and pescatore to share. Definitely too much food for us, but it was satisfying. The food did the job. The Pescatore was pretty delicious. Everything else was good.

Prime rib salad
Emily A.

Came in for lunch, there wasn't too many people. Ordered the prime rib salad with the Italian vinaigrette, and the fried zucchini appetizer. The salad was amazing, I loved the dressing which apparently they make in house. The food took a long time to come out for there being not many people there and it being just a salad, but it was worth it and I'd go back.

Good food, busy establishment with a really good server, named Mo. we had a little bit of everything, the margarita pizza, the large garden salad along with some calamari. The Cadillac margaritas were delicious

margherita pizza
James M.

Whatever you do, do not order the margherita pizza. It was not good. I expected more from this place. $30 for a large non margherita pizza is disappointing. Should've gone somewhere else.

fettuccini con pollo
Ruth B.

My son and I decided to try dinner since we haven't been here since before the pandemic. It was so nice to be back. The front bar area was full of fun locals. We sat in the back room where it is quieter. We were greeted promptly on arrival and advised to grab a seat. Within a few minutes of sitting, our server was there. He was friendly and attentive all evening. The free foccacia was warm and delicious. I dipped it in the marinera while my son used the butter. It was so good we asked for seconds. My son had the fettuccini con pollo. He said it was excellent with a rich and creamy sauce. I had the penne romano. The cayenne sauce had a kick without being too spicy. The chicken was tender and the sun dried tomatoes gave it a nice tart contrast. When our pastas came out, we were reminded how huge the portions were. But it was so good, we finished everything! Exellent service. Amazing food. Generous portions. And a friendly atmosphere. You really can't ask for more.

Hot Pastrami [$11.95, 2.5 stars]
Randy B.

A neigborhoody feel filled with locals, medium-range sports pub, and a little divey mixed in. It has many of your standard drafts, and a decent bar-filled menu of mostly fried items, along with a variety of pastas and pizzas. I went with the Hot Pastrami [$11.95, 2.5 stars] -- Grilled pastrami, melted swiss cheese and a dijon mustard on grilled rye bread. Greasy, and not very tender. A large round of krinkled-cut frozen fries...could have done without. Service was nice, place felt clean -- bumped up to an average rating.

Happy hour! 3pm to 6pm
Kathleen C.

We stopped in just before going to a concert up the road. The happy hour had great food including the potatoes skins, sliders and chicken tenders. We ordered too much. The staff was quick to refill drinks or ask if we needed anything. You could witness workers dashing around the busy Friday crowd, they were pleasant to talk to- those behind the bar allowed us to guess their names and played along as well. We were able to watch some of the giants game in the big screen at the bar and most of the seating directly behind it could watch as well. The bathrooms were clean, food tasted great and overall the experience was a good one.

As a seafood boil lover, this is definitely my favorite spot ever! I particularly enjoy their…read moremixture of sauces over other restaurants, as well as their flavorful mango lemonade. As far as service, I came in around 1pm on a Wednesday and received my meal in less than 10 minutes! I was pleasantly surprised and joyful given I was starving. If you come in on the weekends where it's a bit busier, long times will be longer as expected. Our server whom I didn't get to catch the name of, was kind and checked in with us about needing anything else just the right amount of times! When I asked for more lemon, another worker happily brought them over whereas in other locations, they might not do it with the best attitude. Their lemon pepper fries weren't my favorite as I've had better but still tasty and worth satisfying an intense craving for them. Can't wait to come back!

4 Stars! If you've…read moreread my other reviews, I'm pretty much a stickler for a clean restaurant. This one didn't pass the test. I'm basing this on my second time here because the first time I was sat at a table, not a booth. We were out for the morning, and decided to come here for lunch before having to take my son to the airport. I had come before and loved the sauce. We got there as they opened and were the first ones seated. They tried to sit us at a booth, but it was dirty, so we moved to the next one, still dirty, but we sat down anyway because it was cleaner than the first. The first table - the table itself was dirty, and the back of the booths had sauce and oily handprints all over them. The second table, the table was cleaner, but the booth backs were dirty with sauce and oily handprints. I kept reminding myself not to sit all the way back. I used the bathroom to wash my hands but did not use the toilets. Bathroom could use a deeper clean. One thing is they have kind of weird decal thing on the wall by the bathroom which if you don't take the time to read, seems really in appropriate So due to the cleanliness, I'm marking it down a star. As for the food and service, excellent. I really didn't think I would find another place better than my go-to in Berkeley, Bag O Crab, but I did. I don't know what it is about their sauce but it's just a little bit better than Bag. I got their house sauce, mild. Next time I'll get medium because there was no spice at all. I am just used to other Cajun spots, I guess, and ordering a mild, only for it to be super spicy. I like that they stay true to the word mild, lol. Especially for those who can't handle heat. Everyone enjoyed their boils. My husband ordered the catfish and he said it was excellent. The only thing we didn't really care for was the garlic noodles. Bag has the trophy on that. I love that they bring you lemons, s&p in little containers, bibs, all utensils, etc. at the beginning. So you don't have to wave down staff to bring you that. The bucket for shells and the boils coming in trays, so nice! We will definitely be back. I just hope they clean the booths soon, lol.

Happy new year 2026! This is my first review for the new year ( take out order ) let's get into it…read more. Living out in the 925 area has been a challenge for this east Oakland foodie ! It's so diverse and can barely ever miss back home but out here it's hard . With that being said I was craving some good ol fried catfish . I looked them up on Yelp and seen they have my favorite which is fried scallops so I said let's give them a try . This is a seafood market that sells fried food . Called my order in ahead of time. The person who took my order was polite and helpful . I got wing and catfish combo and wanted prawn and scallop combo . Unfortunately they were out of prawns by 4 in the afternoon . So I got catfish and scallops instead . Overall it was good . The catfish was fresh and melted like butter in my mouth . Chicken was nice sized chicken . The scallops were big not the little ones and cooked perfectly not chewy at all . The breading was fried right, not too thick or over seasoned . Fries could have been cooked a little harder but besides that my fish craving was fulfilled. I would try them out again .

They were also a good size for the price. 8/10 Fried cat fish was ok and would not get again. Still unsure if it was actually cat fish because it didn't really taste like it. Also unsure if these were frozen or freshly battered. Not too much flavor. 1/10 Fried Mac n cheese was probably the best thing. Crispy, cheesy and not too salty. 10/10 Potato salad had too much mayo for my liking and was too sweet. 1/10 Peach cobbler wasn't too sweet but overall really bland. The filling/crust had almost no taste and had a weird texture. 1/10 Banana pudding was too sweet but had good banana flavor. Pudding was a nice/smooth texture - 4/10 Fried meals had ok fries but were big portions. Overall i wouldn't come back which is unfortunate because the worker, Ali, was really kind and is the reason im giving 2 stars.
