Being an Oakland native, I finally made it here. Like many have said, it's not a fancy joint, but was there for the food and the nostalgia feel of the place. It was a dreary bit of day when I went, which makes place this more awesome for me as it give extra cozy vibes. CASH only or Venmo. I got a seat at the counter as it was just me. Staff is friendly, i think the owners daughter works there as the young gal looked like her dad. There are pictures famous, local and national ,black folks who have come to this institution because of the reputation of the food and of course the original owner Lois and now here son. I had not idea that Reggie Jackson was adopted by her. If you are from Oakland no need to explain who he is, if you aren't look him up. While I was awaiting my order, it seems like were hopping with people stopping in for their icebox pies. 80'-90s jams play over the radio and in the lull of that you might hear the mexican music coming from the back that the staff are listening too as well. In perusing the menu you will just about find something for everyone. I settled on the chicken and waffles, but substituted the regular waffle for the pecan one along with a cup of coffee, and a side of grits to go. The service was quick and my pecan waffle came out with 3 huge pieces of chicken. The waffle had hints of cinnamon and nice size pieces of chopped up pecans. The chicken was not overly crusted, golden brown and perfectly cooked. Reminded me of my younger years when moms would cook the chicken. The food was good, but it was a bit pricey, but then everything seems to be. I not saying come every week, but if you are an Oaklander and haven't been, you must come to this institution, because the next generation might not want to carry on Lois the Pie Queens legacy.

Great food. Lots of options. I want to come back and try the sweet potato pie. On the expensive side but worth it. Diner has been here awhile. Lots of history. Service okay.
