They are all young, which is very good and positive that they are working, but some other servers needed to be a lot more presentable. Some of them needed to speak a little better and not be in the front diddling around and talking! this is still a business and it's still a restaurant and it's still your job; you never know who is walking into your establishment!!! you should always keep things professional just because you feel like it's black owned establishment and the customers are primarily African-American, with the exception of some other nationalities; doesn't mean you act urban ! We did ask what came in their spike Kool-Aid came and our waitress said I don't know some Drank ? What? Why don't you know this you work here? I asked one of the other servers about the eggrolls and it took him about three minutes to answer. I'm like are they chicken shrimp pork all servers should know the menu and drink selections Conclusion : the owner is very sweet her story and the history was informative! Music was good ; The food was pretty good. Everything had decent amount of flavor . I would definitely downsize on the chicken wings. Those things are huge! ( steroid chicken) but overall I would visit again tighten up on the servers professionalism! Happy I was able to support this black own business and I think you guys should definitely give it a try it's worth going it's pricey, but that's understandable running a restaurant is hard and expensive! I was surprised that the food was as good as it was, but it actually was!

The oxtails are some of the best I've had in Oakland--tender, flavorful, and falling right off the bone. Every bite is seasoned perfectly, and you can tell the food is made with care. If you love soul food and haven't been to Y's Choice yet, you're seriously missing out! I'll definitely be back for those oxtails.

The batter was crispy and well seasoned, and the fish was tender. The fries are standard fare, and while the hot sauce is pretty runny, it still has a good flavor and goes well with the fish. I came back again today, and it was just as good, so I figured they deserved a review. My only complaint is the few flies in the dining area, which can be a little off putting. I hope they can get that under control because the space has a lot of potential. If they keep this up, I'll definitely keep coming back for lunch, and maybe even dinner.

The food was fresh and i loved it. However, paying 33 dollars for a meal with only two decent size oxtails is kind of expensive for a decent food. I wish they would have put more meat on my rice place. Other than that, it was a great experience eating this delicious food. The inside is small and they have a little table outside for family's to eat. I would come back here and try their other food but it is a bit pricey for me.

We came as a party of 7. Great ambiance for happy hour!! $1 oysters and fun drinks (but we didn't…read moretry this time). Note that there is a limit to 30 oysters per table. I really like how they let you build your seafood experience exactly how you want it, from the type of seafood to the seasoning and spice level. The only thing was I think the spice level could've been kicked up a notch. Our table ordered a mix of oysters, garlic noodles, Cajun fries, shrimp, crawfish, mussels, which came with corn, potatoes, sausage and hard boiled egg! The seafood was fresh and the sauce coated everything nicely without being overwhelmingly salty, and the corn and potatoes soaked up all the seasoning. All for a very reasonable price if you get the combo, which comes in 3 different tiers! The oysters were a standout--fresh, briny & I loved all the different sauces like horse radish and cocktail on the side. I do wish the fries were a bit more crispy and could've gone heavier with the Cajun seasoning, but that's personal preference. The atmosphere is casual, lively, and perfect for big groups. If you're looking for a customizable seafood boil with fresh oysters, fun drinks, and plenty of options to build your ideal meal, Rockin Crawfish is definitely worth a visit

I was very disappointed with my recent takeout order. Before placing my order, I specifically asked…read morewhether the crawfish were live, and the waitress told me they were available. Based on that conversation, I expected fresh live crawfish, which was available Tuesday when I ordered from DoorDash the previous time. After I got home and opened my order this time. it was clear that the crawfish had been frozen. If the restaurant serves frozen crawfish, that's fine, but customers should be given accurate information when they ask directly about the product right? I feel misled because I relied on what I was told when making my purchase. Transparency is important, and I hope the restaurant does a better job communicating with customers about whether their crawfish are live or previously frozen. VERY DISHONEST BUSINESS SMH.

The double cheeseburger is the most popular thing on the menu and I never get a double but i could've. they're bigger than in-n-out but oh the thinner like it. The fries were a nice medium size and dusted with seasoned salt. They have good cold ranch also, not that cheap watery ranch. They also had fresh baked cookies warming and I also usually never get a cookie but if you want a fresh baked cookie at night, this is your place. They were also pretty cost effective. Food was ready faster than the estimate and the staff was nice. There are tables to eat inside but this is mostly a to-go spot if you ask me.

It's a small space with a parking lot, open door walk-in service and a small table and bench outside to eat there. Walking in to order, I was greeted by the front counter worker who was very polite and patient. I kept looking back and forth over the offerings and asked "What's this one?" I got the 2 item entree for $11.99 with Chow Mein, BBQ Pork and Golden Crispy Chicken along with a Honey Lemon tea for $4.50. I saw the container and it looked similar to the ones used at Panda Express: one large area taking up the bottom half with the top half split in two. Internally, I was expecting similar portions as well. However, she filled it with Chow Mein and placed both entrees on top, spreading one at the top, the other on bottom. It was packed. The BBQ Pork was sweet, Golden Crispy Chicken savory and Chow Mein was solid. The Honey Lemon tea didn't last very long on my walk. It was so good on a nice sunny day, it's also refrigerated with no ice so you get all tea! The portions are generous and I got leftovers for tomorrow, possibly the day after as well. Well worth the price. The only thing that I can knock is the container isn't microwave safe, it's Styrofoam. Give this place a chance if you're around. I asked her when they opened and learned that this is their 2nd weekend open and they have no reviews. Also they have a special after 3pm where you can get a 2nd entree when showing a photo of their flyer. It's posted on the gate!
