Oakland Draft House Oakland Reviews
I had 35 minutes before my plane departed and I asked the waitress if there was enough time to order French toasting. She replied yes and immediately it was ordered without me having to look at a menu. Best service ever at this airport. The French toast was delicious! Definitely a must try if you have the time.
Awesome views. This place is one of the best in the airport. Great selections of beers on tap. Food is always consistent and there is a to go area and bar. TV’s to watch games. Quick service.
Great airport tavern. Friendly service. They were very fast and very helpful. Had the burger. Came out fast and hot. Fries are great for airport food. Nice vibe. Big screen tvs to relax for a few and grab a bite.

Angels Envy for $14 was the best deal of the visit. The wings and fries portions are small but flavor on wings is good. Bartenders were attentive
Wow it is expensive food. 6 wings 18 dollars, but they are fantastic. Gochjgon (sp) wings yum!
Nice view and nice staff who brought us water and helpfully offered to take our order instead of relying on the QR code. I ordered the Korean fried chicken appetizer and it was quite a bit tastier than I expected for airport food. The chicken glaze was flavorful and just a tad bit spicy and the pickled cucumbers balanced it well. I wasn't convinced they were chicken thighs as advertised and seemed more like breast meat but they were still good.

There is no reason to ask for tip. No one speaks to you. You order on an app. They just drop off your order. I would rather pick up from a window. I asked for more coffee and that was a bother. Customer service is dead.

Ordered via phone with a QR code & order still wasn’t correct, so it isn’t like there was a miscommunication. If you order a drink, maybe get a beer so there’s less of a chance the bartender gets it wrong. Also, they weren’t crowded, so she probably just wasn’t paying attention. Ordered the bacon breakfast tacos & they forgot the bacon, so had to ask for it. Come for the view & pleasant seating area, skip the food.
Very basic airport food. $17 for avocado toast and eggs. The layer of avocado was quite thin and the eggs were low quality and not seasoned. The side of the berries was good. The service was great.

I sat down to a dirty bar top that had been wiped down with a dirty rag - water stains and slightly sticky. Then I got a glass of water with a bunch of flecks floating in it - black, looked like large pepper or something. So I ordered the burger and fries for almost $30 ($24+$2 for fries). The fries were generic frozen fries from the dollar store. The burger made me crave fast food - this was slightly above McDonald's and definitely below Carl's or Jack. There's a great selection of Sierra beers though, and it's a busy spot so a good crowd moving through. That's the only saving grace.

This was by far the most depressing meal I've ever had in my life. Granted it was very early in the morning and I'm not really hard on breakfast foods, but wow, I am actually stunned by how terrible this was. The avocado toast came out ice cold on slightly toasted bread with three slices of bland tomato and nothing else not even seasoning, not even salt. The avocado tasted bitter and old and the tomatoes were still icy, the bread had... Nothing, not even butter or oil. Salting my meal just made it taste worse. for $18 I got a dish that was not only small, bland, and unappetizing, but I even asked the waiter if something was wrong in the kitchen, or if I was just there way to early in the morning. He told me straight up "no, that's what the avocado toast is supposed to be." I'm absolutely floored. I regret eating here and I regret not just walking out.
20 min to be acknowledged by bartender. NOT busy at all. 5 min later to pour beer, then sets beer down to make 5-6 other mixed drinks. Never coming here again. Staff sitting around, walking like zombies
Yikes. The mahi tacos were bad. Very fishy. Very salty. Avocado spread out of a bottle. Flour tortillas. As bad as it gets. Premium prices and subpar food. On the plus side the cocktails are legitimate. They're safe to order. The food absolutely is not.

I only authorized $21 for the one overpriced beer I had. This included their inflated profit, service fee and tax. I ordered it through the QR code. There was no service as I picked it up myself. Then I see my card was charged $30 including a tip. HORRIFIC how they just steal from you here.
The servers were talking amongst one other. We had to call someone to take our order. We asked for ranch and she said it wasn’t out yet. We told we had gotten it with another order. She was annoyed and brought some ranch. This was 07/31 around 8:15 am. I travel frequently and have always received good service. My experience today was unacceptable.
This occurred in the airport. The server had just finished handling, dirty dishes, and dirty silverware from other customers, and went to get our flatware without washing her hands. I took her discreetly to the side and quietly asked her if she would please wash her hands before bringing us our food and flatware. She presented a very strong attitude and said "Yeah, I'm not doing all that! " I am an African American woman myself in my 70's so it wasn't due to any prejudice towards her that I requested she wash her hands after handling used flatware and dishes. Because Covid is still around and we have a son with special needs, we try our best to wash our own hands often. So we walked out and went over to Calavera and had a really nice meal. It's a shame there was no concern for public health and a lack of humility over a simple request for cleanliness, which is expected and appropriate for an eating establishment. Shame on her for not caring.
The service was terrible our waitress never checked on us we had to call her over every time we needed something. My chicken sandwich was overcooked so I sent it back for a new one and the 2nd one was even worse. Then they automatically took a $15 tip off of my card without asking for a tip.

Food was okay, server named madeleen was very disrespectful. I ask if my wife and I can sit at the bar after ordering my self a burger and and us some beers from the restaurant and she rudely tells me we ordered to-go so we can’t sit there unless we order something as if I’m not already a paying customer. Wouldn’t recommend.
