Thanks.

I'm not sure if I just bought the wrong menu item. I started off planning on getting one of my…read morefavorites fish and chips but looking at the price difference I switched at the last minute to order the Dungeness crab sandwich with fries. The fries were good. I asked to get well done fries to ensure I didn't get limp fries. My taste buds didn't quite do a happy dance with the seasoning used in the crab cake. The crab cake did seem to be fresh but I couldn't get past the seasoning. The bun was good. The people are nice and I will definitely go back because I know the seafood is fresh. I will go with what I know and like, fish and chips next trip. Convenient location with outdoor seating and ample parking.

This is a solid neighborhood spot that is very popular with locals and has been around a long time…read more Besides chicken and fish, their menu includes popular soul food items like jambalaya, gumbo, hush puppies, mac n cheese, fried okra and various fresh, yummy cakes, pies and banana pudding. Generally my son and I have always been happy with the food here, though a few weeks ago when we ordered, my calamari wasn't good. It was tough and too salty. About that... today an elderly Black woman was complaining at the register about the catfish she bought yesterday, saying it was too salty. She did say other food items she had bought in the past were good. But I digress.... Today we ordered the okra, bean pie, strawberry cake, banana pudding and a 3 combo that included chicken, fish, jumbo shrimp and fries. Their okra is some of the freshest I've ever tasted. A lot of places that have fried okra on the menu don't use fresh okra, and you can tell by how it tastes. I don't eat chicken but my son said it was perfect. I tried the shrimp and catfish. Both were super fresh and fried well, crispy without being greasy. I thought both were a bit salty, though not enough for me to dislike them. My son didn't think they were salty at all, but I did, and the elderly woman did too, so I'd say if you're sensitive to things being salty, this may not be the place for you. All of it was very fresh and well-fried though. The bean pie was good , though maybe a bit dry. It had a nice flavor, kind of like pumpkin pie. The strawberry cake was outstanding. Mmmm!!! The fries were okay; not crazy good but not bad either.

I've been coming here for years, and while a few things have changed over time, the food is still…read morejust as delicious as ever. I live in Modesto now and still make the trip because it's that good. The chicken wings are hands down my favorite--crispy, crunchy, and seasoned perfectly. The jumbo shrimp is another reason I keep coming back. My recommendation: eat it as soon as you get it! Don't wait too long, or you'll lose that perfect crunch that makes it so good. Overall, great food, great flavor, and definitely worth the drive. 10/10, highly recommend!

My only issue was the hidden fee. $15.95 = $17.66 after taxes. But my total was $18.54 so I had questions. And to make it worse, the cashier had an attitude about it. After you order, they do give you a receipt. But it only has the balance, no breakdown. So I asked for the full receipt (that's where his attitude kicked in). The receipt says $17.66. But I was charged $18.54. Why?? There is nothing anywhere on the receipt saying where the extra charge came from. Was the burrito worth the added $.88 ? Definitely! I just don't like how they went about it. I didn't see any signage about a debt/creditcard fee. Maybe I missed it. But ya'll beware of mysterious charges!!

No brown sugar or Allspice seasonings; no nutmeg or cinnamon, nutmeg or vanilla extract or butter, from what I could tell. Should have been pven baked for about 45 mins to an hour to get things gooey and flavorful. Lost opportunity! Not the 1st time it has lacked flavor. Same for red beans and rice. Minimal flavor.

OMG. This is definitely one of those hole-in-the-wall places that completely surprises you…read more We came here because our friend Warren recommended it, and now I understand why. It's tucked away in Oakland in a spot you might easily drive past without noticing. The setup is simple: order at the window, get a vibrating pager, then pick up your food when it's ready. They also have outdoor seating, which is perfect if you're bringing your dog along. They offer all kinds of silog meals, and honestly, before coming here, I thought all silog places were pretty much the same. While standing in line, I had no clue what to order. The special that day was the G Fire Short Ribs, and I kept going back and forth between trying something new or playing it safe. I ended up getting the pork tocino silog, and for the second dish, I almost ordered the spare short ribs. Thank God I got the G Fire Wings instead. OMG. OMG. OMG. These are hands down the BEST wings I've had in the Bay Area. The skin is crispy and crunchy, but the moment you bite in, the meat is unbelievably juicy. Seriously, when do you ever get wings that are actually juicy? Most wings are dry. Not these. The flavor, the sauce, the seasoning--everything is absolutely incredible. It's the kind of food that makes you lick every finger afterward. If it were socially acceptable to eat the bones too, I probably would have. And here's the funny thing: while I was in line, it seemed like everyone ordering was getting the G Fire Wings. Now I know why. If this place were closer to where I live, I'd be here all the time. I'm still thinking about those wings days later. The good news is we go to Oakland at least once a month for hiking and camping, and now Lucky Three Seven is officially part of the tradition. It'll either be our reward after finishing a hike or our stop before heading to camp. Thank you, Warren, for recommending this place. You absolutely nailed it. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambience: 5/5 (simple, casual, outdoor pet-friendly seating) Parking: Street parking; may take a little patience depending on the time of day.

Anyway, I know why other cultures only have had lumpia when asked if they tried Filipino food lol that is mostly what this spot sells, and wings. They probably have a handful of actual Filipino dishes, but it's not a spot you'd go to if you have a true Filipino cuisine itch like for some dinuguan or kare kare. The cashier is not friendly, just a straight shooter. And you're yelling into a glass which makes it seem hood, but I didn't feel unsafe and I had my toddler with us. They charge per wing and extra for dipping sauces. It seems like they sell out quick too cause one customer left without any and it was only mid afternoon. We ordered the longsilog and coconut adobo. I will say that it was a lot of food for the price which always a bonus. The flavor was also fire! I love the mural of their beloved owner across the street, RIP. Definitely worth a try, but to those who only try lumpia and consider it Filipino food, please venture out and try one of their breakfast plates (silogs) and then try one of the other main dishes. You won't be disappointed!
