    The balls (meatball sandwich)
    Steve W.

    What would you expect to get at the airport? Quick and easy food at a good price. Nailed it on all fronts! $17 for a monster meatball sandwich and the taste is divine. Has a little kick in the sauce so don't expect boring Subway here. Yummy. Nice gal at the counter and cool little seating area to eat. Highly recommend of you are in the high 20's gates for Southwest at OAK. Enjoy

    Well I went here for breakfast and got the Southwest burrito. It had avocado, beans hash browns and tasted like an omelet. The burrito costs $14.5 dollars and charged an extra $4 for taxes and other stuff which is not surprising. I got the burrito really quick like in minutes so I was surprised it tasted good.

    OMG. They are actually bringing great food to the airport. We have been to both Wood Tavern and Southie in the Claremont District of Oakland. Both of those locations are amazing. This one does not let you down. Had the breakfast sandwich, best breakfast sandwich I have ever had, very flavorful, me and my wife split it, and was perfect amount before a flight. Go it's amazing. You can order the lunch items for breakfast as well. I was considering the meatball sandwich, as that looked good as well. Value 4 of 5 you are getting amazing food for a fair price at the airport, seriously you can get a horrible cold breakfast burrito for $11 at a food stall in the airport, or get something made with quality ingredients that actually tastes good. Food 5 of 5 Amazing flavor and quality ingredients. Service 5 of 5 Order at the counter food came out quickly, they give you a buzzer to let you know when it's ready. Atmosphere 2 of 5 It's an airport so if you like airports maybe it's 5 of 5.

    $20 "The Balls". Huge. Plenty for my wife and I to share.

    The breakfast sandwich is delicious, big, and a good price compared to the other eateries I saw. I'll trek to this spot no matter my gate.

    Super slow people. You wait on line while employees are busy doing their own thing. They don't care.

We came here on a Sunday and the seats were all filled. We put our names on the waiting list, and were seated within 15 minutes. The menu is brunchy with French influence. The food was very good. However, we made the mistake of ordering the beignets to be served at the end of the meal. They didn't put our beignet order in until after they cleared our plates, and it took about 30-45 minutes after our meal before our beignets came out. So if you want beignets, just order them the same time as your meal because they take awhile to make. What we ordered: + Sweet cream pancakes - these were cute in mickey mouse shape with a few strawberries. + Crab cake benedicts - very good + Salmon Lox Sandwich - very good, but would have liked the cucumbers to be sliced thinner. They were quite a bit thicker than the salmon and was a little clumsy to eat, but I'm just being picky. + La Campagne Omelette - lots of veggies and very cheesy + Beignets - long wait and was not bad. They were light with large air bubbles. Not the best we've had, but not bad. Overall, a cute spot for a brunch if you don't mind tent seating.

Which is really a shame, as you guys should really stick to hummus instead of harassment. While my friend was purchasing hummus, the man at the stall made numerous comments (almost 10) about my rear end. I was standing off in the corner, listening to the band play and he commented that'd I'd be good at Arabic dance because of "my fat behind" (The word he used started with a and rhymes with sass) And he kept reiterating it. I even asked him for clarification as I was stunned. He did indeed clarify that "mine was not a flat one." And that I had a big behind. It got to the point where the lemonade stand guy was glaring at him. I was stunned and contemplated civil rights and lefts. I decided to just walk away, but what the heck was that?! Yeah nah. Don't do alladat. Yall got to get that together because that man was too comfortable doing that. I am certainly NOT the first woman he has harrassed.

Convenient location from the airport and from hotels. The BREAD WAS AMAZING! Parking is available if we took Lyft from Hotel which was .6 miles. We ordered 2 protein and it came with 2 sides. The sides were hummus and salad. The chicken was ok. The 'beef' was not beef only-it was lamb and beef together turned into a sausage which was not described prior to the order. The owner greeted us. Restrooms are under construction. They have cute seating area cubical. My mom count eat the 'beef' for obvious reasons. See photo.
