Love this place, have eaten here many times for breakfast and lunch. Quick service and good food. Unpretentious and gets very busy on weekends. My favorite oatmeal in town! Strongly recommend for an excellent breakfast.

Getting to the oakland grill is not like going to your normal eatery, it is located right in the middle of the produce warehouse district in Jack London Square. On a weekday morning plan on walking around pallets of fruits and vegetables and getting out of the way of busy forklift drivers. When you find the restaurant it is very... More

My wife and I came here on a tip from the hotel desk clerk. Situated among produce warehouses, you might not pick it out as a promising eatery, but was it ever great. Large portions and a very varied menu, and champagne and mimosas to boot! Great service too.

My son introduced me to this place a few years ago and I eat breakfast there when I am traveling in Oakland. It has decent food, decent ambiance, and at a decent price. The service was above average and courteous. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking or a cool, hip place near Jack London in Oakland... More

I have eaten breakfast at the Oakland Grill about 10 times over the years and have never been disappointed. It is in the midst of the very active wholesale produce market area of Oakland about two blocks from Jack London Square. Huge breakfast menu and very ample portions. On my last visit, I had a crab cake Benedict. The sauce... More

Love this place on Sundays for the endless mimosa (strawberry or orange juice). The staff is always friendly the breakfast food is fast and tasty. Every time I'm in Oakland this is my go to place for breakfast!

Great family style breakfast or lunch. We go to this place several times a month. Located in a quirky building in the produce district in Oakland, this place cooks up the best breakfast. They serve big portions, so go hungry or be prepared to take something home for later.

I go here every weekend to get the Crab Cake Benedict, which is my favorite breakfast meal in any restaurant in the Bay Area. It comes with perfectly crispy potatoes. I also love the French Toast and they've had some spectacular weekend specials as well. I have never had to wait to get in, unlike so many other breakfast places,... More

This funky "coffee shop" sits among the produce market vendors in Oakland near Jack London Square. We've been there twice and will go back again! You need coins to feed the parking meters, but there is ample parking, depending on what time you go. We were there for a late breakfast both times and parked about a block away, both... More
