Town Fare by Chef Michele McQueen

Town Fare is excellent. Just ate here at their last Sunday brunch which happens monthly. It was buffet style. Chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits were superlative. The location in the Oakland Museum is super stylish and classic. This restaurant needs to be supported.

When first walking in, the host weren’t at the, “Wait to be seated” sign and made a smart remark when my mother was walking in. We were seated about 2-3 minutes after. I ordered two orange juices that were priced $4.5 on the menu, but was charged $5. That was one thing. My food came out in a decent amount of time, the waffles were great! But the white meat chicken I ordered with it, looked like a chunk was cut out of it, fired, and then served to me; almost like it was a scarp piece of meat. Catalina was my waitress, took my payment for the meal, and brought me back the wrong receipt. Now, I wouldn’t be that worried about it, but the receipt was an AMEX purchase of $8.00, and mine was a cash payment of $55.00. So that bothered me when I realized what the waitress had done. My food I would give a 4/5 because of the chicken with my waffles. 3/5 over all for the service.

We came to Town Fare for the first time after finding out about the restaurant from the Bay Area KQED check please show. We were thrilled to try their chicken sandwich which came with breast meat and some coleslaw. The meat was very tender, cooked to perfection, the coleslaw had really nice flavors, and the buns were good too. The mac and cheese was also very good; the cheese had good flavor. The restaurant has a very open, clean, organic modern atmosphere. Many seating options inside and outside. The staff were nice. They have street parking around the museum and a museum parking garage. 10/10 Recommend.

This place was great! The ordering process was fast and efficient, the staff was attentive and cheerful, and the food was amazing! We had shrimp and grits, pork chops with Mac n cheese and collard greens, and the Brussels sprouts. They also made me a killer Arnold Palmer with unsweetened iced tea and lemonade. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐! I would recommend a meal here if you're hungry while visiting the Oakland museum.

Start to finish delicious! We used to go to her spot in the Fillmore District SF called Gussie's Chicken & Waffles. Had the Bloody Mary's Revenge and the basil ginger soda, deviled eggs, fried chicken & sweet potato waffles, and the fried chicken sandwich. You can run & tell everybody that this is the spot! DJ Mark Divita during Sunday brunch gave us the perfect musical pairings.
