Reviews for N/A in Oakland, CA
Definitely surprised everything was delicious on my plate everything had flavor only thing was the yams needed to be a little... sweeter and more butter. Mac n cheese was perfect enough salt n cheese greens and cornbread dressing were ???? The peachcobbler dessert was my only issue it had way to much nutmeg. But I will definitely be back just will skip the peach cobbler nexttime worth my drive from the valley! Read more

Excellent Soul Food. Tastes almost as good as Mommas. No parking lot, limited street parking. On Sunday dinner buffet starts at... 1pm. Arrive early to get best seat or your left waiting in a long line for others to finish. Abundant food supply and variety ofchoices for all levels of what you might be craving. Decent staff, owner very approachable and kind. Read more
Yes, this is one of the Guy Fieri reviewed restaurants . . . With that said, this review is based on our experience, and not to... be compared to Guy's. This is a great little restaurant in Oakland, and it's worth the drive! Don't drive too fast, it's rightat the corner of an intersection. It's a warm, cozy place, feels like home. The service was impeccable, staff was friendly andattentive. They have beer and wine, which we started with. Nothing too fancy, think comfort. Fresh, hot cornbread is providedas you look over the menu. OMG, melt in your mouth. But don't stuff yourself . . . especially if you're having friedchicken! We obviously ordered the fried chicken plate, with yam, and greens. And got an a la cart of the blackened salmon. Bothwere really good, the salmon though out did the chicken. This is a personal taste review - the fried chicken had GREAT FLAVORbut was slightly too greasy. They give you a 3 pieces, by the time you finish the breast, you're full. We saw many tables hadordered this, and many have wiped their plate clean. We could have as well. There's so much more on the menu we want to try andwill definitely go back. Read more
The Southern Cafe Restaurant was really good. It's nestled in Oakland. The parking is challenging, but if you want some good... soul food, this is the place. Friday Chitterlings Special.was very good. It was awesome to have Chitterlings in May. The beefshort ribs very tender and succulent. The Fried Shrimp were ok... I think the other meals were way more flavorful. The cornbread was good as well. The cabbage was excellent. Yes, I would go again. The service was goid as well. Our food was deliveredin a timely manner... Read more
Great soul food experience. I ordered the oxtail which comes with rice&beans, mac&cheese and green beans. Mac and cheese was... good. Green beans were ok, amazing once I put it in my gravy. My oxtail was amazingly delicious with a perfect gravy and rice.My husband had the short rib with mac and cheese and cabbage that has ham in it. Who doesn't like meat with their veggies? Thelemonade was addictive. My waitress service was mediocre at best. My cornbread came with my meal. She never checked on us afterour food was delivered to our table even though she passed our table several times. She brought the lemonade we ordered earlierwhen we were almost done with our meal and even then she dropped it off and walked away. Next we saw her, she asked if we wanteda box and then delivered the check. So why did I still rate 5 stars? Her colleague, Kim, I noticed was providing outstandingservice! While I was waiting on my lemonade and cornbread, I watched her deliver her patrons orders promptly and with anappealing attitude. She even took off the bread plates without my soliciting it. I was so excited by her work ethic that Itipped her way more than my waitress. We ate around 3p so restaurant wasn't crazy busy. Read more
