Food was tasty, but I completely forgot to take pictures…read more First time at Lovely's. We sat outside, and the atmosphere was great. This is the perfect spot for large groups hanging out with friends, but it also works well for a casual date night. Service is legit here. I don't eat beef, so I decided to try the Impossible Burger. I highly recommend ordering the Westerner Burger with an Impossible patty. They grill the patty thin and crispy, and it's probably the best Impossible burger I've had in a long time. The fries were solid too and paired well with the burger. The overall vibe was relaxed, the outdoor seating was comfortable, and the food came out fresh and flavorful.

I visited Horn Barbecue and I NEED management and ownership to read this carefully--because what I…read moreexperienced deserves to be recognized on a higher level. First of all, my order was TO-GO. And let me tell you... when I got home and opened that bag, I was honestly blown away. My food was packaged with so much care, precision, and pride--it was neat, organized, and handled like it actually mattered. That alone told me everything about the level of service in that building. Candalen--YOU DID THAT. The attention to detail on my plate did not go unnoticed. You treated my food like it was being served in-house, and that speaks volumes about your work ethic and pride in what you do. Aaron--listen... that peach lemon drop??? BABY. That was my first time trying one and it was EVERYTHING. Smooth, flavorful, perfectly balanced--you made that drink an experience all by itself. I will be back JUST for that. And let's talk about the vibe--the music, the energy, the atmosphere--it all came together in a way that made the entire visit feel GOOD. Not just food... a whole experience. But what really stands out is this: It has been a LONG time since I've experienced service this genuine, this intentional, and this excellent. Not rushed, not careless--EXCEPTIONAL. Management, if you are reading this--please understand--you have some powerful people on your team. Candalen and Aaron are the kind of employees that elevate a brand. They are the reason people come back. They are the reason I will be telling others. This wasn't just a good experience. This was the kind of experience that turns customers into loyal supporters. I will absolutely be back--and I will be bringing people with me. Until next time, WUHAPN NATION

I have been telling my friend about how satisfying and delicious the food at Horn BBQ is, but every…read moretime we came by the restaurant was closed. Finally, we were so excited to see it was open on a Saturday an we came in for lunch. To order you need to scan the QR code and pay plus tip before a single person spoke to us or offered us service. From the menu we saw they were out of beef ribs, smoked chicken, rib tips, no peach cobbler, no banana pudding and no kool aid. I come for their brisket and my friend loves ribs so we went ahead and ordered combo plates to share. Mine was the brisket with a side of collard greens, she had the pork ribs, a hotlink with a side of Mac-n-cheese, & cornbread. For drinks we had lemonade and an Arnold Palmer. I'm not sure what has happened over the last few months but the quality of the food, the service and the expectation to pay and tip up front were very disappointing. The greens, Mac cheese, brisket and ribs were cold. The hotlink wasn't BBQ'ed it was pan fried. Everything tasted like warmed up leftovers and we will not return. For 2 of us to eat it came to $100 and we were not satisfied. The dining room is an attractive space, it was completely empty. The staff was unclear about what we ordered, had to be told to bring our drinks, bartender is also working as server and apologized for his uncertainty. I suggest this restaurant hire and train more staff if they intend to keep their doors open.

If you're craving a bagel sandwich without all the unnecessary glamour that Bay Area establishments tend to add to all their culinary creations, this is the place. They're kind, efficient & make superb sandwiches. Since we're at year 2 of the pandemic, there's no seating indoors, but don't think that was really the strong suit & appeal of this place. Notable mention: The Italian sandwich. A perfect marriage of meats & provolone cheese, that you will find yourself cheating with once in a while.

Shout out to the Yelper that said this place was supposed to be the Oakland location but something happened with the license. While neither of us had been to the other place, THIS FOOD WAS GOOD!!! It started when my lemonade came out. Did they sweeten it with honey?? Because DELICIOUS!!! The chicken was fried like Big Mama was in the back. The Waffle withHouse the butter and syrup rounded it all out. Of course I mixed my hot sauce in my syrup. We were sitting there eating like savages and the couple at the table next to us seemed to be on a date. They were trying to eat pretty. I probably had spicy syrup on my face. The music was great and we really enjoyed ourselves.

I ordered the turkey club and it was honestly huge. You can see in the photo how big it is compared to my hand. It was stacked and super satisfying, the kind of sandwich that definitely fills you up. We also shared a deviled egg and some fried zucchini to start, which were great little bites before the main dish. The zucchini was crispy and light, and the deviled egg was simple but really good. I paired everything with a mocha latte that was perfectly balanced and honestly superb. Overall it was a ten out of ten brunch moment. Between the sunny weather, good coffee, and really satisfying food, it was exactly what we were looking for. Definitely one of those spots I would come back to for brunch again.

This was me and my husband's first time at the restaurant and the food here was excellent…read moreeverything was very good and flavorful. I gave it to stars because the service was really bad. Our waitress took very long to even acknowledge us, didn't person herself to be very friendly, and lacked any attentiveness to us as customers. We had to ask other people for things like refills on our drinks, condiments, etc. She didn't ever really try to check to see how things were going after the food was served and we had to ask someone else to pay. Unfortunately considering this experience my husband doesn't want to go back and I hate that for us because the food was really good.

I have been here so many times so I'm surprised I haven't written a review yet…read more This place is quite a quintessential restaurant to eat at in Oakland Chinatown. They are open late and have plenty of seating and a huge menu to select everything you'd want. This time around we got mixed fruits in a crepe, strawberry ice cream with an eggette, ovaltine, milk tea and a baked chicken and rice to go for tomorrow's lunch. The desserts were decent and tasted like what you'd think they'd taste like. The drinks were soothing and the baked chicken and rice was the star of the show. It was savory with every grain of rice not going to waste with how delicious it is and the chicken was oh so, tender. The baked rice dishes are where they're at. The duck roll was also perfection. The duck was tender and the roll was crispy and chewy. Yummy! They have a $10 minimum spend per person so plan accordingly!

I've been getting takeout here for years, and they have the best black pepper sauce in the Bay Area…read more-- thick, rich, and super flavorful. We ordered the pork chop with lots of onions. It was a big, thick cut of meat, nicely seared and well-seasoned. Really satisfying. 8/10. I also got the black pepper steak with rice. For a café spot, the steak was surprisingly tender. Great value at about $22 -- it comes with soup and a drink, which is a solid deal. 9/10. The milk tea was okay but lacked a strong tea flavor for my taste. 6.5/10. That said, service was good. The waitress was kind enough to swap mine for a cold milk tea (which usually costs extra) and didn't charge me. The ambiance isn't the best -- it's a true hole-in-the-wall in Oakland Chinatown. Parking can be tough, so expect that. Overall, it's a great spot for authentic Hong Kong-style café food at very reasonable prices. It's been around for years and is definitely a staple. Just don't expect fancy vibes -- come for the food.
