So far in our visits we've…read moretried: corn fritters, beet salad, St. Louis pork ribs, Trip's Triple, Tsukune Sando, Fried Chicken Sando, Pork Roti, and many of the speciality sodas like POG etc. It's been a solid 5 star place so far, we've only come for special occasions. However last Thur we came for dinner and brought some friends who were excited to try this place for the first time. Beet salad: 5/5 Ribs: 5/5, coleslaw: 1/5 why is the coleslaw not good? It's very soggy and wet and taste old, not crisp and refreshing as it should be... Pls improve the recipe for this... Our to-go order was close to $40, for some ribs and coleslaw, coleslaw did not eat Chicken Sando: 4.5/5 Pork Roti: 3/5 good flavor but pork was chewy and fatty Corn fritters: 4.5/5 Trips Triple: Tri-tip was good 5/5, but not a fan of the chicken 1/5, pork shoulder ok 2/5 would only order the tri-tip again from this combo Service was fine and ambiance cool

The chef checked on us several times and even joined in singing "Happy Birthday", the entire team seemed genuinely invested in our having a wonderful experience. The menu is ambitious and the food was very good, with flashes of something truly special. The octopus with fennel and potato was phenomenal and completely distinctive. We also enjoyed the calamari, swordfish carpaccio, burrata, salmon, ravioli, short ribs, bolognese pasta, tiramisu, and gelato. A few dishes felt just a final touch away from greatness: the oxtail ravioli, for example, had all the makings of a standout, but the pasta and sauce could have felt a little fresher and more alive. You sense real talent in the kitchen and with just five percent more refinement, this could become exceptional Italian cooking. For now, the remarkably warm service makes it an easy five-star experience.

1520 Park St Alameda, CA 94501…read more This is the Alameda Grill that's next to Alameda Bicycle at Park St & Webb Ave. Alameda Grill is probably the smallest restaurant in Alameda, and mainly serves up burgers and fries. (Not to be confused with the Alameda Cinema Grill). I was there on a Tuesday morning at about 10:50 am. I asked the lady if she was open yet, and she happily said "YES....c'mon in!" This place is very small. As soon as you walk in you'll be at the counter of the kitchen. There's no lobby or dining room. I just ordered a Cheeseburger and Fries. She asked if I wanted a double, and held up two frozen meat patties. I agreed to a double, and she started cooking. FYI- I was a fast food shift Mgr decades ago, and I'm familiar w/ cooking burgers. She laid the two patties on the flat grill, and put a large searing tool on top for 2-3 mins. Then she dropped the fries in the fry vat. I asked for a burger with everything. The food was ready pretty quick, and I was on my way. Free ketchup and napkins. OMG, the french fries were excellent! Crispy on the outside and tender soft on the inside. Fries have a limited holding time of 7-10 mins. After that they become limp and soft. Eat those fries HOT, you will enjoy them more. The Double Cheeseburger was okay. The meat patties were not fully caramelized to bring out the flavor. Needed another slice of cheese. Maybe more mayo and seasonings. But it's a good size, and it's freshly made. It's a good value for the price. They need more outside seating. Burgers and fries should be enjoyed right away.

The onion overpowered anything on this cheeseburger. Sweet potato fries ok, no seasoning. But that's ok I seasoned to my taste. A bit overpriced ($4) for the amount of fries. Service, well that is also a no go. She seemed upset we were there. Basically she seemed upset at everyone that ordered even the lady behind me. L9cal seemed kinda grungy, tiny just like the burgers.

With that being said, I had came here plenty of times, I had reminded myself to write a review but life got in the way. I had their hash browns and egg Benedict before, they were delicious! After every meal, I have to get a box of their freshly made donuts for my nieces and nephews. They have blueberry glazed donuts and orange marmalade ones too! I once bumped into my sister and my niece who had a doctor appointment in the area, I think my niece had a flu shot, so I promised to get her some donuts here. Happy to report that she love them! There may be other local breakfast spots in the area but I highly recommend this neighborhood gem and would come back when I'm in the area.

Personally, I choose the Brunch-urrito and let me say it was filling and satisfying.

The location is a little hidden and small, however, it small and welcoming to all. They even have an area in the back that has a wide selection of old fashion donuts. If you ever have the chance to stop in for a meal then do it. Treat yourself!
