The Sandwich Meister is serving up burritos and burgers at the Oakland Food Hall in East Oakland…read more The other day I was in the area, and was able to do a pickup at their location at 2353 E12th St. That's the home of a large Cloud Kitchen facility, and where you can find 30-40 ghost kitchens. Using the DoorDash (Dash Pass) App for pickup, I ordered "The Burger" for $12.50. The menu says- " A juicy 6 oz burger served on a perfect brioche bun with caramelized onions, chipotle remoulade, pickles, tomato and lettuce." Ok, the burger is all that. It's actually a good burger, but for $12.50 it should be a cheeseburger with fries. Food presentation is everything. I sense Sandwich Meister is trying to offer this as something special for $12.50. But really it's a burger in a takeout box from a ghost kitchen. And the reality is, you can get a fully dressed 1/3-lb cheeseburger at Nation's for around $7.00. Why 4-Stars? Hamburger 101: Burger patty was cooked medium, and was juicy. Bun was toasted and caramelized. Lettuce, tomato slices, pickles and sauces were properly placed to create good flavor distribution. Patty was drained properly, no meat juices running off in the takeout box, bun wasn't soggy. This burger was made correctly and tasted good. Good quality control. Now, I don't know about the other menu items they serve. Hopefully other reviewers will add their experiences. Service? It's not fair to score the restaurant on the fault of the Oakland Food Hall. But my order was ready on time. Sandwich Meister is a ghost kitchen in the Oakland Food Hall.

The food here is amazing, tastes just like a home cook meal. I usually order the omelette with…read morehot-links and the pancakes. And let me just say that it never disappoints. Hash browns are crispy, omelette has enough hot links. The pancakes are fluffy which is a must when finding a great breakfast place. The owners are very sweet people always making sure that you have everything you need for your meal. They really make you feel welcome. Would definitely recommend to anyone that's looking for comfort food. A great breakfast and lunch spot. PS. Not sure why it's number 18 on yelp. It should be listed at number 1 when looking for a breakfast spot in downtown Oakland. Wish I would have taken a picture of my breakfast. Maybe next time.

Jack's Cheese Steak is part of a shared kitchen* in a Krispy Krunchy Chicken(KKC) location in East…read moreOakland. The other day, I saw that DoorDash was offering a 20% promo to try this place. So I ordered a Mushroom Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. How was it? The sandwich arrived hot, and wrapped in foil. Lots of napkins and ketchup. The sandwich is very tasty. The meat, cheese, onions and mushrooms blend together nicely. However, this sandwich is a bit on the small side. It isn't a really big heavy cheese steak sandwich. This sandwich would be perfect for lunch for 1 person. *What's a shared kitchen? It's a restaurant that offers several popular menu items under one roof. The customer has more choices, and doesn't have to drive around looking for different foods. Everything is fine, as long as they don't mix up the orders. So check your order. Enjoy, and support local business!

On Yelp they're in the Oakland area. I think they've got a pop up over here or just opening a second location; very happy they did! I absolutely loved the Carnitas Breakfast Quesadilla! Grilled to perfection and the carnitas are really juicy with scrambled eggs and cheese. This was so good! I will definitely order this again. Their chips are homemade and really good, they're light and crisp, paired with the guacamole, so good. The guacamole is very fresh, pure avocados. They have an interesting menu through DoorDash app, breakfast quesadillas, breakfast tacos and breakfast burritos. Everything made me really happy about their menu! I love breakfast any time of day especially when quesadillas, tacos and burritos are involved. I will definitely order again soon. Mmmmmm, give them a try you'll be hooked!

Lil…read moreManana specializes in Mexican breakfast items, such as tacos, burritos, quesadillas, egg dishes, and assorted sides. I decided to try their food, and ordered (thru DoorDash) Chorizo Breakfast Tacos and Carne Asada Breakfast Tacos. DD was offering a promo to try this new cloud kitchen.....order $20+ and get up to 35% off. DD Driver arrived on time, no spills. How was the food? Pretty tasty food, both orders get a grade (4/5). These are small tacos made with 2 soft tortillas for each taco. The Chorizo Taco is made with chorizo, eggs, cheese, and pico de gallo. 3 tacos per order, $12.00, I liked these tacos. The Carne Asada Taco is made with carne asada, eggs, cheese, and pico de gallo. 3 tacos per order, $12.00. Plenty of meat. Both orders come with free spicy salsa. But if you want sour cream, guac, lettuce, jalapenos, and/or hot sauce, you have to pay extra for that. All those extra items will add a total of $4.00 to each order. (Maybe cheaper to keep some handy in your refrigerator). The tacos are easy to eat, but probably not while you're driving. The fillings will fall out if you hit a bump.....just a suggestion.

Old school bagel shop. Bake in the back and sell from bins in the front. The bagels are fine, if…read moreyou are strolling the block and need a bite. The bagels here have all the elements of a great NY-style bagel but without the follow-through. There is some malt flavor, and there is some tooth to the crust. However the flavor is mild and the bite lacks crispness. The bagels were a bit pale, but you wouldn't want to give them more time in the oven, since the one saving grace of the bagel was its crumb. A perfect balance of chewy and fluffy -- light to eat yet structured enough for a sandwich. The bagels here are fine but there are better executed options on the island, so it may be worth looking around.

I ordered thru GrubHub+, and my order came from "4481 International Blvd." A little research reveals that my food came from "La Frontera Mexican Restaurant" in East Oakland. So, on a Wednesday evening, at 8:20pm, I order: - Classic Burger ($9.00), with Cheese (add $2.00). - Onion Rings ($5.00) Okay, I used to be a fast food shift Mgr, so lets talk about this Classic Burger. This is a good cheese burger. Yes, I paid $2 more to make the Classic Burger a Cheeseburger. It came with lettuce, tomato, and zesty house sauce. The bun was toasted on the grill or a flat surface. The condiment placement was right on the mark. You pickup this burger, it stays together. The meat patty shows caramelization, which means it was freshly cooked. The meat is juicy and has flavor. I didn't like the house sauce, it was a bit too spicy for a cheeseburger. If I order this burger again, I would elect to add the free pickles, ketchup, and mustard. But still a good burger, Grade (4/5). The onion rings were still crispy and crunchy when they arrived. Usually fried foods don't travel well as delivery foods. These were crispy, but a little oily. So perhaps they needed to be drained a little longer. I think these rings have the simple coating, and then deep fried. Grade (4/5). Value: $9.00 for this 11.5-oz burger is about right. Add $2.00 for cheese. $5.00 for an order of onion rings is about average.
