    The balls (meatball sandwich)
    Steve W.

    What would you expect to get at the airport? Quick and easy food at a good price. Nailed it on all fronts! $17 for a monster meatball sandwich and the taste is divine. Has a little kick in the sauce so don't expect boring Subway here. Yummy. Nice gal at the counter and cool little seating area to eat. Highly recommend of you are in the high 20's gates for Southwest at OAK. Enjoy

    Well I went here for breakfast and got the Southwest burrito. It had avocado, beans hash browns and tasted like an omelet. The burrito costs $14.5 dollars and charged an extra $4 for taxes and other stuff which is not surprising. I got the burrito really quick like in minutes so I was surprised it tasted good.

    OMG. They are actually bringing great food to the airport. We have been to both Wood Tavern and Southie in the Claremont District of Oakland. Both of those locations are amazing. This one does not let you down. Had the breakfast sandwich, best breakfast sandwich I have ever had, very flavorful, me and my wife split it, and was perfect amount before a flight. Go it's amazing. You can order the lunch items for breakfast as well. I was considering the meatball sandwich, as that looked good as well. Value 4 of 5 you are getting amazing food for a fair price at the airport, seriously you can get a horrible cold breakfast burrito for $11 at a food stall in the airport, or get something made with quality ingredients that actually tastes good. Food 5 of 5 Amazing flavor and quality ingredients. Service 5 of 5 Order at the counter food came out quickly, they give you a buzzer to let you know when it's ready. Atmosphere 2 of 5 It's an airport so if you like airports maybe it's 5 of 5.

    $20 "The Balls". Huge. Plenty for my wife and I to share.

    The breakfast sandwich is delicious, big, and a good price compared to the other eateries I saw. I'll trek to this spot no matter my gate.

    Super slow people. You wait on line while employees are busy doing their own thing. They don't care.

    Fast friendly service, but outdoor seating so slightly chilly on an overcast day…read more First time here, but I've been to the one on Webster. This has a more relaxing vibe, but limited menu and no wait time. Ordered the crab cakes Benedict and the Monte Cristo. Both came with crispy potatoes that were good. Cristo had only one ultra thin slice of each meat and each cheese inside. Tasty but mostly bread. Also came with a blackberry compote. Crab cakes were the star, very flavorful. Asked for sauce on the side which I'm glad I did because it didn't add anything special for me. Would prefer the hollandaise sauce instead actually. Nice casual but slightly upscale place. Overall happy to see them here and food was decent. Good addition to the neighborhood, hope they stick around a long time!

    I've been to their Webster location a couple times and was excited to try their Bay Farm location…read more The entire restaurant is outdoors, so wear layers if it's a chilly day. The shipping containers they've converted for use have beautiful murals on them. For a Sunday morning we were trying to grab a quick bite to eat, but service was a bit disappointing. They definitely seemed understaffed since there were only 2 wait staff and then the 1 barista (she was handling to go and restaurant drink orders) since it took a long time for us to get luke warm coffee and then even longer for our luke warm eggs Benedict. Coffee was a bit weak, and the Benedict was just ok, but the whole experience left more to be desired. Main plus is to they allow pups and provided water bowls. Brunch places are limited on Bay Farm, so it's a good addition-but wouldn't go here on a weekend especially if you're in a rush.

Convenient location from the airport and from hotels. The BREAD WAS AMAZING! Parking is available if we took Lyft from Hotel which was .6 miles. We ordered 2 protein and it came with 2 sides. The sides were hummus and salad. The chicken was ok. The 'beef' was not beef only-it was lamb and beef together turned into a sausage which was not described prior to the order. The owner greeted us. Restrooms are under construction. They have cute seating area cubical. My mom count eat the 'beef' for obvious reasons. See photo.

It was quite pricey with a bottle of Rain Spring water, $27. But it was a deep bowl filled with a lot of chicken. And was kinda expected with airport restaurants! But the food delivered on taste and flavor. The chicken was tender. The order counter was quite easy, either in person or large tablet. The counter person was kind and welcoming. The small restaurant is situated right in the middle of Oakland Airport, between the 2 terminals. The space is elongated, nice and simply decorated in Asian style. The decor is inviting. There is a row of tables along the wall, but I was happy to seat on a counter bar watching passengers go by. The place could use a more frequent busser to clean the tables more regularly. Otherwise, it's a good place to eat while waiting for your flight.
