- JJNew Orleans / Louisiana •1 review5.0Dined todayOur server, Nevaeh was outstanding: attentive, kind, friendly, and super helpful. The host was excellent and walked me to and from my car. I cannot remember his name. I ordered from the secret menu, it was just like the picture I saw on Instagram, delicious, fresh and a generous serving. I met the chef/owner and he was very pleasant professional and greeted me with a smile and a handshake. It was my first time visiting, and I will be back. Everything was done with excellent excellence.More infoPierre PierrePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Oakland•4.2
- MMaricelSan Francisco Bay Area •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoWalking into Burrell was like a time warp back into the 70s. It felt like we walked into someone’s grandma’s house, from the picture on the wall, the furniture, the vintage corelle plates used to serve food—it was warm and inviting. The food was so delicious. Every dish we had had so much flavor and it was comforting, as if someone’s grandma or mom cooked for us. We did the family meal and it was worth the $75 it cost for the 4 course meal. I will be thinking about this meal until I can return!More infoBurdellPrice: Very Expensive• Soul food• Oakland•4.5
