Sideshow Kitchen

I've reviewed this spot before...maybe even twice, bit this place is the one.There is no better burger experience in the bay area. Period.And on some real talk? A big mac meal is the same price... and that's not even real food. Unless I'm in a drive thru, at midnight, in the middle of the country, on a long road trip? Miss me with the Mickey Dees garbage...sideshow ALL days.I shouldn't even mention them in the same review, but it's just to illustrate the value of Sideshow... on all levels. Straight up asset to have, 10 minutes from my neck of the woods.Go there, enjoy it, thank them later.Right on... peace.

I had the hyphy fried chicken sandwich (as shown in the video) and my partner had the veggie burger.I enjoyed my sandwich but I barely tasted any hot sauce so I do wish it packed more of a spicy punch as advertised.I also like that fries are served with the sandwich because it is pricey so you get more for your buck on that note.My partner didn't like his veggie burger too much. It was edible but he said it taste like a frozen patty he had previously.I'd eat here again & try something different off the menu next time.

Food was great!!! 10/10We got lemon chicken & buffalo wings Service was awesome 10/10 1st timer and the gentlemen taking our order made us feel welcomed! Atmosphere was comfy af! 10/10 Going to return soon and try something different.

Saw this on my Reels for a while and decided to give it a try. Service was amazing. Menu is clear and to the point with many different options. It's all outdoors with just the right amount of seating. There's covered seating as well as uncovered! We had the Good Burger with fries and the buffalo wings with cheese fries. The strawberry milkshake was thick and creamy. I love also that they have Pepsi and Starry!!!!

Sideshow Kitchen is a legit spot if you're in the mood for comfort food done right. I stopped by recently and was seriously impressed with the vibe and how quick and easy everything was--ordering was a breeze, and my food came out fast, hot, and fresh.I went for the good burger with fries, and a dozen wings--half BBQ lemon pepper, half garlic parmesan. The burger was big, and served with crispy fries on the side--nothing fancy, but everything you want in a good burger i just wish it was a bit juicier. The wings, though, that's where Sideshow Kitchen really shines. Both the BBQ lemon pepper and garlic parmesan were tasty, but the garlic parmesan wings were the absolute star of the show. They were perfectly crispy, with a rich, garlicky sauce that was full of flavor without being overwhelming. I could've easily ordered another dozen of those.Oh, and the mango lemonade? A solid choice to wash it all down--sweet and refreshing, with just the right amount of tang.Overall, Sideshow Kitchen is the kind of spot where you know you're going to get a great meal, quick service, and solid flavor. Whether you're in the mood for wings, a burger, or both, this place doesn't disappoint. I'll definitely be back to indulge in those garlic parmesan wings again!

We were very surprised with the ratings compared to the food we had here.I had the classic chicken sandwich with fries. My partner had the good burger with the garlic cheese fries.The classic chicken sandwich had two patties and was freshly fried. But I can't say there was much flavor in the aioli or the chicken. And there was too much chicken in my opinion (two patties as opposed to one). My partner thought the same thing with his burger not having much flavor either. However, the garlic in his garlic cheese fries were overpowering and was very garlicky. I think the portions are generous, which might make a lot of people might like this place. But when it comes to the nuance of the flavors of the sauces, we've had better. We are not in a rush to come back here even though the staff is pretty nice. You order at the counter first and then someone calls out your name and order and brings it to you.There's plenty of street parking on the Main Street and in the neighborhood area nearby.

This could very well be a blue collar workers' institution. From the back, It looks like a dilapidated homeless shelter if you drive by it and just glance. But inside, it is a industrial sprawl with amazing food! The front looks like a painting supply shop so it is easy to miss or mistaken.First time here on a recommendation from a colleague.I can report that this is EASILY my new vote for Best Spicy Chicken Sandwich in Oakland leapfrogging ahead of Hot Boys by City Hall and Uptown's Hot Bird.I ordered via Grubhub. There is a pick up line and they called my name out before I figured out the system.Love the reliable no nonsense messing around service here.I now know where to go when I am starving.5/5 without a doubt.PS-add garlic to your garlic fries: you will not regret it.

The Good Burger. . . Shredded lettuce, single patty MW, slice of raw purple onion, American cheese melted down over meat, aioli perfect size bun to contain all the burger goodness! Crispy seasoned fries on the outside, tender and hot inside. Service pleasant and fast! I arrive while only two people enjoying their meals. After my food was delivered to my table, it got busy with folks ordering takeout and dine-in food. Great music, pet friendly and three tv screens to watch. Hungry for fast good food this is your place!
