A local family-owned spot serving fresh, well-seasoned seafood…read more Mississippi Catfish in El Sobrante has been around for years and was previously located in Richmond. It's always nice to support a family-owned business that has built a strong local following. I ordered the D & D plate which comes with prawns, hush puppies, and 2 sides- I ordered fries. Everything came out fresh, hot, and well seasoned. The red snapper was cooked perfectly crispy on the outside while still tender inside, and the seasoning was just right. The hush puppies and fries were a great addition to the plate and paired well with the fish. Simple, flavorful food done right. Service is excellent. Definitely feels like family Loved the meal and will definitely be back.

Located inside 7 Peaks Restaurant & Bar, this place is an absolute gem. From the very first visit,…read morewe were hooked--and now we make it a point to eat here at least once every time we're in town (and we live in Vegas!). We've tried the fried catfish, snapper, prawns, and chicken, and everything has been fried and seasoned to perfection--crispy on the outside, flavorful and tender on the inside. The portion sizes are generous for the price, making it an even better value. If there's one small drawback, it's the limited side options--fries, potato salad, or coleslaw. A few more choices would make the experience even better. Overall, we highly recommend it. You will definitely leave satisfied!

We shared a mussels appetizer which I highly recommend. It comes with french fries. I also got fried oysters. She got a salad and I cannot recall what kind it was. I will say that the oysters I did not enjoy, they were runny on the inside and the coating that it is fried in was not to my liking. I would not order them again, but I would definitley return. Service was good and efficient. We were seated promptly. The set up is nice inside.

Glad I was curious and listened to him! Randomly tucked away behind all the newer homes, you'll find The Powder Keg. Came during their Sunday brunch and they were serving the usual morning fare along with their regular pub-style menu. I LOVED everything my sister and I ordered! The crab cake benedict had a delicious hollandaise sauce and a perfectly poached egg. The fried mushrooms were nice and crispy and nicely paired with ranch. The fish & chips were also crispy and well-seasoned. Definitely want to come back and try a few other dishes off their menu!

It's been so long since I've been to Pear Street Bistro, and while in the area recently for a few…read moreevents, I popped in with some friends on two different occasions. Love seeing this spot so lively! Both visits were for apps and sips, but I did notice they added more dishes and variety to the menu for lunch/dinner options. Friendly service, fun atmosphere, and also different rooms within the space pending what your feeling ~ the bar area for drinks/apps, the restaurant space if wanting to truly sit down and have that type of intimate environment too. The Pear Salad has always been my go-to, and happy it's still on the menu. Chopped lettuce, gorgonzola crumbles, candied walnuts, champagne vinaigrette, and pear slices. I also enjoyed the Cheese Please for sharing, which comes with toast, three different cheeses, dried cranberries, pears, candied walnuts, and olives. Can you sense the pear theme? We were heading to a play at the Pinole Community Playhouse (walkable & across the street), but check out Pear Street's fun happy hours, events, and weekly specials. Plenty of restaurant parking in the back too.

Came here for the Cinco De Mayo event. We were a party of 9. They had a DJ…read more The food came out hot and it was delicious. They were no complaints in the area from anyone. One of our party members ordered the Rum Punch. It was overly sweet. Another ordered a drink that was not great at all, sent it back.. only to be told that they do not take back drinks, but made an exception that time. However, if the drink is made wrong or disgusting.. there shouod be understanding around that. We ordered the bottomless Mimosas. It seemed like it was difficult to get a grenadine on the side because I had to constantly ask for it. We had to talk to the manager because our waitress was not consistent with the pouring of bottomless. We lost about 30 to 45 mins of time because of it. The manager understood and granted us more time. I also did not like that fact that our finished plate sat on the table way longer than what they should have. Maybe the waiter was overwhelmed or overworked.

I may be wrong about that, but if you happen to be in the livestock capital of the East Bay, then Bevbox would fit the bill. Rodeo's association with livestock roundups are long gone, but the need for libations is presumably still there, especially as shelter-in-place clocks into its seventh month. Supplemented by the inevitable selection of snacks, their inventory is quite impressive for a store that looks more like a convenience mart from the outside. Safe distancing is well addressed in here, too. I think Socrates may be right this time. RELATED - Exploring this part of Contra Costa?

Now that we moved in stop back by the other day the service is absolutely terrible. Didn't wanna say anything but now honestly I'm like screw this, he's not gonna keep on treating my mom and I like this without warning you what they do. Buddy buddy with you until you don't spend money there once you come back and you haven't spent money there in a while they charge you double the price or they give you a shitty product. Typical won't be back unless I'm desperate. Don't wonder why you're faithful customers don't come back you know why you know exactly why and you know who exactly I'm talking to I don't even have to say anything you know it. Tall mcskis

Some of my highlights were: * Sweet Thai Chili Chicken Wings - perfectly cooked with just the right amount of crisp and sauce * CA Catfish - a generous portion, flavorful, and not fishy at all * Chicken Momos - I prefer them fried, and the house hot sauce is absolutely worth trying My favorite drink was an off-menu cocktail: a twist on a pisco sour. Ask for Param's Pisco. The owner is incredibly hospitable and happy to offer recommendations if you're unsure what to order. Service was prompt and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and perfect for catching up with friends or unwinding after a long day.
