Essential Information

851 60th St.
Oakland, CA

510-658-5616

This corner-store restaurant has all the charm of your neighborhood diner—and the food to back up the hype of its legendary reputation, which is documented in the celebrity photos adorning the lunch and dinner cafe. Lois’ son Chris carries on the tradition of his mom’s soulful comfort food. Whether you order the Reggie Jackson Special with two pork chops or the Ginnie’s Scramble with meatball-sized sausages, the eggs are fluffy and hash browns are crisped to perfection. The piecrusts, like the biscuits, are flaky and dense. The sweet potato pie is delicately spiced, and the lemon icebox pie—with its tangy citrus taste and cheesecake texture—should definitely find its way to your table. Breakfast and lunch daily.
