7 Best Southern Restaurants in Oakland

“Best chicken sandwich in the bay, hands down. Especially if you like the heat. No one comes close“

“Oh my the place resembles a true image of a "hole in the wall", but Oh!, don't let the location nor look fool you. The food is absolutely amazing! The chicken will have you thinking, "This reminds me of home!" The sides were delicious too and lastly, the counter staff were very polite and respectful. When I'm in the area, I'm most definitely going to return to, Gus' World Famous Fried Chicken!!!“

“Came here with a friend and ordered the honey butter bird combo with fries and spicy bird combo with fries. Overall, service was friendly and fast, it was easy to find and park, and the food came out relatively quickly. We ended up sitting outside, which was great on a sunny day! Feedback: - Honey butter bird: too sweet for my taste. While I love a balance of sweet and savory, the honey overpowered the sandwich for me. The chicken was very tender, though. - I didn't like the fries - could have been the batch, but they were limp and underseasoned. I prefer salty fries! - Spicy bird: MY JAM! Great heat, tender chicken. I will come back for this one.“

“Great food and great service.“

“First time there. Beyond perfection!! Food is fabulous and staff so kind and helpful. Can’t wait to go back!!!!“

“The food was amazing. As a southerner, I approve of the bbq. Especially the brisket. The salad looks simple but it’s delicious. The po boys are great. The only thing that was “just ok” would be the max and cheese. The outdoor area was big with plenty of seating.“

“Brunch was a hit! Music and DJ were entertaining and upbeat! Staff we’re communicating, supportive and relatable! Food was so delicious and flavorful! Definitely going back for more!“
