This place took a deep dive into mediocrity after the ownership change. It has rebounded somewhat and is still the only legit cheesesteak in town, but we miss you Alvin!

Simply the best burgers in all Oakland

Love everything about this place! If service is unsatisfactory it is usually because you get what you give.

This place is awesome! The food is great, the beer list is long, it's our go to for big friend gatherings. Vegetarian options: Great veggie pizzas!

One of the best decisions that I have made recently, was to visit Commis! I cant say enough about it. Clean and cozy atmosphere with great views of the open kitchen. Ver ... more

Came here on a weekday afternoon to have a check-in with my boss. Found the atmosphere very laid back and casual that it felt like a low stress place to exist. Tried a de ... more

The pancakes was so fluffy so good the eggs was okay I had turkey sausage something a little healthy they even have a vegetarian plate

Great dogs, but no toppings other than sauerkraut and they run a little small, I should have gotten three instead of two.

NOW CLOSED. Nothing special. Perfunctory service, stuffy atmosphere because of no air conditioning. 85 degrees inside the restaurant during our dinner. Only thing it has ... more

They have a great drink deal!! Shot and. Beer for $8 every day, any time. Hop on it!

Didn't like the vibe, the people were cold, but loved the burger! Super darn tasty.

Great food and Wait staff. And who doesn't love bottomless mimosas!!!

I walked by there for years. I dropped by today for a cheeseburger. The burger and service was great. Will return again soon.

Short rib sandwich is good as hell.

Too expensive and waited over 15 minutes after being seated and didn't even get water. Only acknowledged us when we left out and got better food up the street and service

We loved this place for an easy, no fuss lunch. The burgers are nice but perhaps not as elaborate as other 'gourmet' places. We loved the truffle fries and would always t ... more

Too bad this joint is closed. 😔

Great service and food. A must try if in Oakland area.

Nobody come back again to see if you need something else not even the napkin

Pretty sure this place has been closed up. Was not open when the hours said they were supposed to be open & the windows were papered up as if it was shut down. Kind of ... more

Such a good breakfast place, used to come here all the time as a kid. Went for the first time in a decade and found out they were closing permanently in two days. (May 5, ... more

Nice Ambience and Good Food!

Open kitchen within cozy floor plane. Square footage is limited so it's easy to measure any wait. Only had breakfast and brunch but it's a kitchen with uniquely good food ... more

My favorite cake since I was a child. Blessed by my daughter with my round strawberry shortcake. Still the best cake I have ever had.

Seriously undercooked waffles. The fried chicken gets mixed up with Maple syrup and it's not sweet and spicy anymore but just sweet.

I loved Chow but it closed down :(

Absolutely delicious. Huge portion sizes and absolutely with the price. Each item is two or three meals. Very flavorful and it saves surprisingly well. Reheating is easy ... more
