    Garlic noodles with prawns. Killer.
    Thomas B.

    I've eaten here many times and I've also had a lot of my friends coming back to this place because it's so tasty. I love their fish and chips, but I absolutely am crazy for the crayfish. Everything they do especially with that special sauce they make is incredible and I'm really looking forward to going back again. They're very well located on San Pablo Blvd. and you will not be disappointed if you go in there and order your mud bugs. Also, they're fishes succulent and tasty and the dipping sauce are superb. I highly recommend this place for anyone in the neighborhood.

    Fish and chips, again, hubby ate some before picture

    Hubby and I were looking for Seafood, came across this and it did not disappoint! The food was amazing. We got there at 7:30 on Friday night, two parties ahead of us. The restaurant is small, basically 7 tables. 3 were together for a large party, and waitress immediately greeted us, explained that when the large party finished, they would split a table off for us and 7 person party ahead of us would get 2 tables, so probably 30 minute wait. Since the garlic smelled amazing, we waited. In about 30 minutes we all were seated. They do have a seating area, but the party ahead of us was sitting in it. After being seated with menus and water, we did wait some time, maybe 30 minutes, to have order taken. Since we could see the people receiving their food that we had watched seated ahead of us, we chatted and relaxed. They have a bar, but we don't drink. I'ld suggest getting drink from bar to sip during wait. There was one waitress, but this is seven tables, so she was efficient, professional, friendly. She patiently explained options. We ordered the shrimp boil, which was huge prawns, garlic butter mild! I had the salad which was crispy, fresh, with excellent dressing on side, cucumbers and tomatoes. Hubby ordered fish and chips, plus calamarie. It took another 30 minutes for food to arrive, but well worth the wait. The pound of shrimp was twice what I could eat. I don't eat carbs, (keto) but tasted the calamarie, which was some of the best I have had, not rubbery. The coating crispy without being covered with heavy batter. The fish the same, wonderfully crispy coating and chuncks of firm fresh fish inside. The fries I did not try, hubby didn't either, next time he would just order fish and calamari. I wanted him to try the Player platter, so I could taste various options. I will have to go back wth more adventurous friends. So about 90 minutes from walk-in till eating, but we were looking for leasurly casual date with good food, so this hit the spot. If you are looking for fast food, you should probably wait for another time. If you are looking for really good seafood, especially the boils, and don't mind waiting for a great meal, this is it. Could not see where to park in lot next door, so parked on street.

    Player's Plate
    May N.

    We stopped by 938 Crawfish and ordered a feast. Player's Plate, Fried Catfish with fries, and the Cajun Combo--and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The Player's Plate (5/5) came loaded: garlic noodles, fried catfish, prawns, and wings. Every bite hit. The fried catfish with fries was crispy, well-seasoned, and fresh--definitely a 5/5. And the Cajun Combo (half shrimp, half mussels with corn and potatoes) had great flavor. I really appreciate how they don't skimp on the garlic; those big chunks in the seafood boil are everything. It seemed like just one person was handling the front during our visit, but she held it down like a pro--friendly, efficient, and super helpful. Big props to her. And shout out to the chef--the catfish was perfect, the wings were solid, and the whole meal was clearly smackkkinnnn. Even though it felt like an off day for the staff, the food still came through. Parking can be hit or miss depending on the time of day, but it's manageable. Definitely recommend checking this spot out if you're in the mood for some solid Cajun/seafood.

    Catfish, garlic noodles and prawns.  Oh my!

    The drinks have you speaking tongues. The owner and wait staff are awesome! The old fashioned made the cut according to an Army vet! The food was so fresh and so good. I'm coming back for sure!

    Have been trying to get here for a while. Finally made it in on a Saturday night. Hostess greeted us right away. Place was pretty full but we were seated right away. The hostess came and took our order pretty quickly. She was also the bartender and she provided excellent service. The drinks were very good and they don't skimp on the alcohol. The food came out pretty quickly and was delicious. The noodles were garlicky and tasty. The chicken and shrimp were very well seasoned and delicious. The catfish could have used a little more salt for my liking but still was fried to perfection and very good. The hostess/bartender checked in with us quite a few times to make sure everything was good. Nice vibes there. We had a great time. We will definitely be back. Also they had the cutest Halloween decor, I couldn't resist taking a picture with it :)

    First time here, celebrating my sister's birthday and it was like we were kicking it at a friend's house! I was able to make a reservation one day in advance for 7 people during peak dinner hours, and even called the same day to change our time with no issues whatsoever. They accommodated us right away and sat us even without my whole party present. Someone had called out, but we never even felt like service was slow or anything. This is a family owned and operated business, and we really felt like we were a part of that. Granted, we had quite a few shots, so alcohol tends to loosen up people but even without that, the whole staff were cool as heck. The food was delicious. Calamari (forgot to take a pic) was light and crunchy, served with cocktail and tartar sauces. The garlic noodles were super flavorful and stayed buttery. Some places tend to dry out and clump up, but not these! The seafood boils also had tons of flavor and spice. Medium was about as much as I could handle. Lol I think my absolute favorite dish was the Player's Plate. It comes with garlic noodles, 5 Tony's wings, 5 prawns and a huge catfish filet. Best bang for your buck, in my opinion. I would get that next time we go. And a special surprise was Tony's Style (Berkeley) was in the building. They were temporarily operating out of the space, so we had to get the shrimp and crab baguette. All that cheesy seafood goodness went perfect with our shots. Lolol Needless to say, we took home lots of leftovers. We had a blast, and I hope yall have a great experience too.

    My first time going, the music set the mood and friendly waitstaff. I order snow crab legs with corn and sausage, the sauce was so good, it was the combo mild sauce .. can't wait to go back!

    I went on a Friday night with my young daughter who wants to try seafood boil for her first time. We found the food to be tasty. Not too plain, not too much salt, just the right amount of spice. The music was loud in the restaurant, but I liked it. The waitress was absolutely amazing! She was very patient explaining the menu, friendly, very attentive, you could tell she was having fun. I came across several clams that were not opened and mentioned it to her, and when I got my rest of my food to go, she threw around a bunch of clams to replace my bad ones. Good customer service.

The fact that there have been and continue…read moreto be unique, independent shops tucked in there for all these years reflect the wonderful North Berkeley ethos that I absolutely love. This location has had different management over the years and this was my first time in at the Walnut Tavern and Bar. The ambiance is excellent. It is cozy and intimate. The black coffee is excellent. And my kids liked the sliders a lot. I was very disappointed by the tofu scramble. Note: it also contains eggs! Lucky I'm not vegan but I wasn't expecting that. The veggies listed didn't make it in the scramble, and the "seasonal veggies" were zucchini and yellow squash. Not the veggies I'd like in a scramble, or expect. It also had no seasoning. It was really not good. They were kind enough to refund me. But it was an unfortunate first encounter. I wonder if the regular egg scramble dishes taste better. I may have picked the one thing on the menu that is no good. But didn't leave a thrilling impression. So I could go back for coffee and sliders and maybe cake.

The place was nice, quiet, and chill. Although the floors were a bit sticky, the place overall clean. Service was a bit slow. But because it was a leisurely brunch with the family, it didn't bother us at all. Our service was pleasant and very thoughtful. Some of us ordered ahead while still waiting on a couple of folks to join us. Our server took the initiative and had the kitchen fire up the food for the kiddos first so they can be taken care of. The rest of the orders came all together once the entire group's order was placed. That was very much appreciated! The food was very good! The Steak sandwich, Tavern BLT, and Berkeley scramble were good. The chicken and waffle was a fave! The chicken was crispy on the outside, juice on the inside and flavorful. The steamed mussels entree was also a hit! The sauce was rich and savory! It was an enjoyable dining experience for all.
