What Dan R doesn't like about Fong's Cafe:
Portions down. Felt played. Been eating at fongs for about 11 years off and on. Hadn't been there in a couple of years. Ordered the kitchen sink with grits like always. Got home and was wondering where the rest of my breakfast was. 80% grits 20% kitchen sink! View all feedback. What brian b likes about Fong's Cafe:
No nonsense cafe. Find a spot and sit the heck down. If you are in Oakland in the morning, make time to get you a great and cost effective breakfast at Fong's. That place is an instatution. I'd suggest calling in a to go order, but its way worth sitting down and enjoying a cup of coffee there. Sit on the far left of the counter if you want to eat your eggs below two ledgends.

Don't waste your time and money. Grits were watery, sausage patties thin and poor quality meats. Overpriced for the small portions. Horrible experience.Food: 1/...

You can't go wrong eating at fongs. It's best to call your order in before you get there .

Fong's Cafe in Oakland has been a favorite breakfast spot for many locals in the area. While some customers have complained about small portions and watery grits, others have praised the no-nonsense atmosphere and delicious, cost-effective breakfast options. The staff are friendly, and the food comes out hot and comforting. Despite some issues with customer service and inconsistent quality in their coffee and home fries, many customers keep coming back for the homemade food and welcoming atmosphere. If you're in the area and hungry for a good breakfast, Fong's Cafe is definitely worth a visit.
