    Smash burger with a very little amount of fries
    Jenny L.

    Walking into the restaurant,we were immediately struck by its nice and cozy, old-school vibes. The warm lighting, rustic decor, and laid-back atmosphere made it feel like the perfect spot to unwind with a drink. It seemed to be a seat-yourself type of place, so we grabbed a table and started looking over the menus. However, when it came time to order, service was a bit slow. We waited about seven minutes before a server finally came over. While the delay was noticeable, the server was very friendly and welcoming once he arrived, which helped smooth over the wait. To start, we ordered the buffalo wings and garlic fries. Garlic fries were packed with flavor and with their homemade ranch, topped it off. The buffalo wings were very mid, didnt really care for it. For our entree, i got the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich with kettle chips and my boyfriend got the smash burger with fries. When our food came we both kinda looked at each other and laughed because his plate probably had a good 7-10 fries while mines had a mountain full or chips. Besides that, both of our sandwiches were really good. To wrap things up we ordered the dessert pizookie with an extra scoop of ice cream. It was so good! Cookie was nice and warm and paired with the ice cream, delicious. Overall, this spot offers a relaxed and nostalgic atmosphere, great for those who appreciate a slower, more casual dining experience. While service could be a bit more attentive, the friendly staff and inviting ambiance make it worth a visit.

    The buffalo wings were meaty and saucy. Couldn't have asked for much more. Normally served with ranch or blue plus celery, but they can do carrots instead. The servers were super nice. Very spacious spot with a bar and tons of TVs that would be perfect for a Cal game. They only had 1/2 of the seating area open when I visited, and it was plenty. The menu is mostly filled with burgers, sandwiches and salads, plus a pizookie that looks amazing.

    Once again it was wonderful. Andre and Chelsea were helpful. Rock Hopper Burger with goat cheese was da bomb. I had apricot cider and a Ruben. Everything we ate and drank was perfect and as expected and had great eye appeal. Though it was a Saturday afternoon it was busy but not too noisy, but I can see with those high ceilings. Hell would be pretty noisy in the evening. The meat in my Reuben was moist and flavorful, not overcooked. I could taste the cheese, and I love that they grilled the sauerkraut. When it came out with that Russian sauce on it, it had all the flavors that I had hoped and expected. My wife had the goat burger, which has goat cheese on it and some peppers on top . The flavor of the peppers was wonderful and the heat was not bad at all. The flavor of the burger was really elevated because they use a flame and I could taste it in the food. The french fries were perfect. They were nice and crisp outside and creamy inside and I can taste fresh oil and they used fresh oil. You always know when french fries taste off. It's usually because there is many fresh oil used that will never happen here. We want to return again when the weather is nice so we can use the roof portion of the café and be able to eat our lunch outdoors above the streets and watch the action .

    We came here after the Cal Game we arrived around 4:30 for an early dinner. We are not students. We are in 50's and it was a good happening environment. This was our first time here. We picked this place because it had a crowed inside. Mostly college students. The Thai place was empty so we voted for the place with other people in it. We snagged a 2 person booth in the 2nd room. As time progressed the place filled up, to the point of there were no more tables for all the people coming in. They have large tables where different groups can sit together and they did. Every table shared the table with at one other groups. It's just the way it is and everyone is ok with it. They have TVs up around the room. There were 4 TVs in the 2nd room showing the games. We were there on Saturday night so college football filled the screens. Ordering is via a QR code at your table. You can't switch tables once you order. One couple did and they were lucky and no one sat in there old table so they were able to pick up there food from there original table. I'm skeptical of using a QR code for ordering, but it was easy and a success. And fast. Service was really fast even with it being packed. My husband had Internet so it worked out perfect. My internet was hit and miss, so good thing we weren't relaying on me. We ordered the smash burger with fries. It's a little spicy, a good spicy. We split the first burger and then ordered a second one. Looking at the kitchen the majority of people were ordering burgers. People were ordering food around us, not just drinks. They'd order their burgers and then other dishes to split, such as onion rings and wings. I would defiantly order the smash burger again and highly reccomend it to others. The only thing that was off was the lack of napkins at our table. No one refilled the tin lately. The bathroom was clean. They had 2 unisex bathrooms. I was afraid there would be a long line since there were so many people and only 2 single stall bathrooms. To my surprise when I went there was no line. It's nice they have a green or red disk on the door so you know if it's occupied or not. And you don't have to giggle the handle to see if it's busy or not. Service was impeccable. The food came quickly and they servers were pleasant. The water jug was empty when I went to get a refill. I went back to my table and with all intentions of flagging someone down the let them know it was empty and with in two minutes it was refilled and I didn't have to say a thing. See, great service. They are really on top of it. I would definitely return and get the smash burger again and I wouldn't share mine next time. They also have a good dessert selection. I didn't see anyone ordering dessert, but I was temped to. As it turns out we went somewhere else for dessert. Ice cream Sunday, fried Oreos, and a pizzalo I'm not sure how to spell it but it's a chocolate chip cookie with ice cream on top. I belive it comes in a skillet. If you haven't checked out this place it's a must and you need to get the smash burger.

    Oh man, it's been years, even decades, since I last entered the front doors of this longtime brewpub open since 1986. I just figured I was getting too old and crotchety to melt into the crowd here...young sports-obsessed, beer guzzlers that presumably congregate here under the impression that pork nachos are a superfood. I imagined I would come across like old Mr. Gower. Remember him? He was in George Bailey's nightmare in "It's a Wonderful Life" when he was thrown out of the bar for poisoning a customer years before. Not that anyone here would've thrown me out. What drew me back was a sidewalk sandwich board announcing "Alcoholic Slushies!" There's just something about a libation not unlike a Hawaiian shave ice soaked in booze. The appearance of boozy slushies makes me say, "I belong here." Only $7.50 for a full 16-ounce Mason jar, they've been appropriately dubbed lushies. Flavors change daily, but I've had the Pina Colada Lushie (photo), and with Jamie W. later, had the equally luscious Pineapple Guava Rum Lushie (photo). On yet another visit, the machine was being cleaned, so we tried their short and sweet Rocktail list. We tried the $10 Gold Velour with Klir red, lemonade, and blackberry syrup, and the $12 Diamond Dealer, Triple Rock's version of a Moscow Mule (photo). Both were potent delights though overshadowed by the absent lushies. I've even eaten here. I had the $14 BBQ Pork Sando where slow roasted pork shoulder was drowned in BBQ sauce and piled with apple cider vinegar slaw on a filone bun (photo). It was just alright. DRINKS - 4.5 stars...lushies are the new black, the rocktails do fine as a backup FOOD - 3 stars...kinda underwhelmed by the BBQ sauce AMBIANCE - 4 stars...spacious in here with even a rooftop for al fresco drunkenness SERVICE - 4.5 stars...nice staff (shout-out to Inoke) TOTAL - 4 stars...living the lush life RELATED - Exploring Berkeley?

    My friends and I came here to attend a friend's band's concert. Hubby dropped my friend and I off and another couple of friends drove but had a hard time finding parking on a Friday night so they parked in a lot. This is a humongous place with two big rooms and a rooftop with seating. I hadn't eaten dinner so using the QR code on the table, you can order drinks and meal and/or appetizers and pay on your phone, very convenient! They have a huge menu! We had a Diamond Dealer moscow mule, beer, cheese croquettes, fried brussel sprouts, a basket of french fries and a buttermilk fried chicken sandwich with coleslaw. The drinks and food came out pretty quickly and there is plenty of seating inside the venue. I thoroughly enjoyed the Diamond drink, along with the crispy french fries and fried chicken sandwich. Next time, I'll try one of their beers since it is a brewery!

    Came by to have a beer with my partner & loved the vibe of this place! Super roomy & the bar looked pretty old school, but clean. Seems to be a spot of many regulars, and is pretty popular. The beers were decent, but what really made the experience awesome was that they have slushies (two alcoholic & one non-alcoholic)! Since we were there around the time the bartender was planning on switching out the slushie flavors anyway, we were given a complementary glass of their pineapple elderflower lemonade slushie. That was soooo good and super nice of them!!! A kind gesture that was totally not expected! Thank you!!

    No waitress or server stress. You order and pay by VR code. I honestly wish every restaurant operated in such a way. The restaurant and bar were super busy. However, our food arrived quickly. I am huge fan of the portion size and menu selection. It's not your typical sports bar food, which is great. Also, it's not your typical sports bar vibe. You can watch the game or have a girls' night or have a family dinner. This spot is appropriate for any occasion. Highly recommended! Great spot!

    Found this spot two blocks from our hotel. Wanted to see how college peeps chilled at a spot like this and definitely got that feeling. Had a good dinner with my dad and enjoyed some Beers. My burger was damn good and my pop enjoyed the Philly cheesesteak. The bartender was a Detroit guy so that was a cool touch. Definitely a good place to enjoy in Berkeley.

    "Chicken" sandwich
    Sandra G.

    Very deceiving menu and description of food. Ordered the Greek salad...served on a warm plate. "Buttermilk fried chicken sandwich" was the thinnest piece of chicken I have ever seen, fried to a crisp, unrecognizable from chicken breast. Zero taste other than the loaded jalapeños which just offered heat.

    Ginger Beer, Gold Velour, Cheesy Bacon Fries (with bacon on the side)

    If open, what time do they close on Xmas?

    Is the lunch special still happening?

    Yes!

    Do you guys have any sort of happy hour or special deals?

    Hey! Yes, we do a daily "Chow + Brau" special, 7 days a week, where you get the special of the day… 

    I know you sell your own 32/64 oz growlers, but will you fill a blank one (e.g., uKeg 64oz)?

    Absolutely! We will fill whatever we are legally allowed to, so bring it on! Cheers,

    Does Triple Rock fill growlers to take away?

    Absolutely! We also have 32 and 64 ounce growlers for sale on site. Cheers,

    Are IDs checked at the door or only when trying to buy alcoholic beverages? As in, can under-21s come at night and order food/non-alcoholic drinks?

    Hey there, We currently only check ID's for entry on Thursdays after 6 and Fridays after 7. All… 

    Some of our party don't drink beer (I know, I know...), are there other beverages available?

    Hi there, Yes we do! We have wines, ciders, and kombucha on tap as well as housemade lemonade and… 

    Are dogs allowed in the outdoor seating area?

    To my knowledge no, the outdoor area is really a deck that you have to go up the stairs in the middle of the bar to have access to. I would imagine there is not any way to get up to the deck without taking your dog through the restaurant.

    How late is the RESTAURANT/KITCHEN open? I came one time looking for food but the kitchen had closed, the bar, however, was still open. Thanks.

    Great question! The kitchen is open until: 10pm - Sunday-Tuesday 11pm Wednesday, Thursday…

Open mic night gives young people a voice. Older musicians act as unofficial mentors - the best advice from one was to 'make me feel something!!' I love the art scene - and to me there is a special intersection of utility (maybe articulating an important message - or building a useful couch) --- and the beauty of that piece. How you put it together, how it looks and most importantly how it makes you feel when you sink into the couch or words. I have a lot of opinions and a lot to say. These days you really can't complain much - in the world you are a nag and in church you are labeled a legalist. The secret is if you say those things in a beautiful way or tip toe around a subject asking questions and letting the audience come up with their own conclusions. The young people today I have lots of sympathy for. The 50 year olds could get away with earning $50k/yr - the 40 year olds could get away with earning $100k/yr but the 20 and 30 year olds in the bay area with 2 kids need to earn $200k in their household to make ends meet. Gentrification is the enemy - those who are 'rich.' Lets blame the boomers. Maybe there are some other 'enemies' of the unaffordable nature of the bay area. A witch hunt aiming at tech workers or the unhoused or maybe today AI robots. My brother pays $4000/month for babysitting. I think his house tax is another $1000/month and we aren't even talking about the mortgage yet.... In San Francisco a family of 4 can qualify for free babysitting if they earn $178,300 or less per year. Maybe you can't call this the poverty level - but you qualify for everything including housing assistance. I'm sorry no beautiful poetry for you today. No lit slam. No soup for you!! I will continue building my couches - you take the stage!!

    Starry Plough....Oh wow! This is really a cool scene…read more There's a different event seven nights a week. Today the day after July 4 celebration is sort of an Irish music session in the place is packed at 5:45 PM! Great musicians and a fun atmosphere, but it seems like the same continuous song plays between breaks with a slight adjustment of the melody. Sort of a hypnotic repetitive groove, not so unlike "ON THE CORNER" by Miles Davis but not really, ha ha! OK kids, please plug that into your little machine and have a listen. Feel that groove in "BLACK SATIN" The Starry Plough is a full service restaurant, pub and nightclub that has been a staple of the East Bay scene since 1973. With deep roots as an Irish Revolutionary watering hole, the history of protest runs as deep today as it did when they opened five decades ago. And they have really good food and a great tap beer list. Also, the very best bartenders and staff throughout! I just had a half order of the handcut french fries and they really are top-notch man, they're served with different condiments that you can help yourself to. I chose the Sriracha sauce and ketchup. I couldn't find the horseradish tonight. I've been coming in here for several years and I really dig it. Very special people hang out here, kind of a hippie Berkeley vibe. I've had great long conversations and met very groovy folks. It's a great watering hole.

The food is great as well and he has NOT raised his prices by much over the years. Whereas most of the other restaurants in town and up and down the coast have raised prices, the portion sizes have gotten smaller and there are no longer any local discounts. Also remember that this is PUB food, so people shouldn't expect Michelin Star dishes. There are so many great dishes on the menu that I can't even quote them all (favorites of mine are the chili, onion ring tower, burgers/fries and the fish and chips. It is good down home family fun for all and he also has sports on all of the time on multiple tv's. This truly is a hidden gem and time capsule that has survived for decades and will probably keep going strong long after some of these high priced, fancy food places have gone out of business. This truly is the Disneyland of PUBS in the US. I highly recommend checking out this pub because you're gonna get a lot more than just food and drink!

When trying to decide where to get dinner on Main Street, we couldn't make a decision. My husband suggested Cameron's so we drove over. Dog Friendly: Lucked out with a spot in front of the patio! Lucked out with a table (anywhere) to sit with our dog. They offer water bowls and toys to play with while we're dining. My dog was able to chill for the most part (larger dogs make our rescue pup nervous) but he liked the couple behind us. Eclectic: It's a cool place with different dining areas. They were setting up for Karaoke (Friday/Saturday nights). There's so much to explore with all the knick knacks. The playlist in the dining room area was a wide range of music - I don't know how to explain it but you're listening to "It's a Small World" and then "Sweet Caroline!" You have to see it for yourself. The gender assigned restrooms are located in between the pinball machines. I literally walked outside and then walked back in when I finally found it and was embarrassed! Food: We split the special of the day - prime rib sandwich, but my husband was still hungry and we split a sampler platter. The food was what I expected - pub grub but it was worth it with the vibe. Drink: I usually don't drink but their cocktails were really good. I forgot what I had but it was the rum based drink. Overall, I hope I don't wait another 10 years to return - that was a great ending to our day trip to Half Moon Bay.

To start, they didn't have a single British beer on the menu. Guinness is Irish, not British, so that was already a letdown. On top of that, they were out of Scotch--pretty surprising for a pub. The service was friendly, and our server was very sweet and apologetic, but it was clear he had not been properly trained and didn't seem familiar with the menu. It took multiple trips to our table just to clarify that the clam chowder did not contain meatballs; the other soup of the day was meatball soup. Even then, the explanation we got was confusing. We also asked for our soup to come before the entrées, but everything arrived at the same time. As for the food, three of us ordered the fish and chips, and it was disappointing. The fries were cold and soggy, and the fish was soggy on the bottom where it sat on the fries. The fish itself seemed decent and tasted fine, but it was not prepared well. One person had the burger and had no complaints, and another had the shrimp scampi pasta, which looked good and seemed to be enjoyed. Overall, the experience just didn't live up to expectations.

    We attended their World Cup Final event. The staff handled the large crowd with ease. The service…read morewas exceptional! Fish and chips were delicious! I never waited in the beverage line for more than a few minutes. Food was ordered at the bar and servers ran it out. Several TVs inside along the wall, a large projector screen on the east wall, and a 65" outside all displayed the game. The sound was good too. I had no difficulty hearing the match over the noise of the crowded venue. Water was supplied next to the bar and was self service. It was constantly kept full. I never saw it empty. When the bar served so much it ran out of glasses they already had plastic cups available. Overall, great spot full of great people. Well done.

    My family and I stopped by The Goose & Fern to watch a World Cup match because their website had…read moreadvertised that they'd be showing the game. My wife and I had just visited Abbey Tavern this past weekend, a premier Scottish pub in the City, and we expected a similar atmosphere. However, the moment we showed up, we were met with great disappointment. The Goose & Fern is honestly a terrible place to watch a sports match: there was only a single TV mounted in the back corner of the restaurant, the TV wasn't particularly large, and the speakers had been turned completely off. What a bust. Although the food was decent, especially the Shepherd's pie -- which came piping hot in a small cast iron skillet, the service was downright dreadful and almost non-existent. We never received waters (or were even asked if we wanted beverages), our table wasn't given enough silverware, we were never checked on during the meal, and we were waiting around for 30 minutes twiddling our thumbs before somebody from our party finally went up to try to pay for the check. In hindsight, a tip was not warranted for the lack of service. Overall, Yelp grossly misled me on The Goose & Fern. This is not a spot I would stop by again to watch a sporting match. If you're in this part of Santa Rosa, do yourself a favor and head over to Dave and Busters down the street where they have a bunch of massive screens, tons of beer options, and service that will far surpass what you're getting here.
