We had a party of 3. The service was horrible. The lady had an attitude and was not the least bit pleasant or helpful. The food arrived already cold and the ribs had no meat on them. Given different circumstances, it might have been a decent experience but sadly it was not. They also charge a credit card processing fee on top of the bill so be aware of that also. It was also too warm and there were no fans in our section.

We had to eat here bc was only place really open before 5pm at Jack London and we were hungry so tried them out. Our server was horrible. I didn't get her name but older Hispanic lady. Right from the beginning seemed like she had an attitude and didn't want to serve us. Our friend tried to ask about local IPAs to try since she was visiting Oakland for the first time and she just stared at her and didn't really answer or try to be helpful. She also didn't come back to provide refills or check on us. She just said I'm closing out ticket bc she was leaving. Just horrible service and on top of that the food was just ok. The beef ribs I will say were great but wasn't really much meat on them just mostly bone so that was disappointing as well. McDonald's would have been a better choice bc we spent way too much for horrible service and average food. We did speak with the manager and she was nice and gave us a free desert which honestly wasn't good either but that's not the managers fault. I wouldn't recommend going here if you do the beef ribs are great just hopefully you actually have meat on yours.

Indoors, there's a lot of racket from the bowling lanes, plus the noise from the video games, plus the music on the PA. Nice outdoor area, but still there isn't a corner where you can escape the obnoxious music.
