Our server, Christian, was the best! His suggestions were short, clear and very helpful. I LOVED the beer he suggested for me. The food was excellent; my burger was perfect, as were the fries. Portions were just right, too. No wasted food. We'll go again. Reader, you should go, too!!!

So happy to have Monk's Kettle on our side of the bay! Service was absolutely excellent, vibes were good and we will def be back. This location feels a lot more family friendly than the SF spot, which might be your vibe, or maybe not. Lots of kids around, but when we were there they were all pretty chill. I think all of Rockridge is incredibly stoked to have MK here, because it can be hard to get in if you are aiming for prime time or the weekend. I recommend getting a reservation, at least until the hype wears off. It might not though. This is probably one of the coolest places in the neighborhood. We ordered the burger (which was cooked perfectly) and the chicken sando which was also super tasty. Both of us got the kale salad as a side and it had a nice variety of veggies, great flavor and wasn't over-dressed. Sometimes side salads are kind of depressing, but not this one :). Welcome to the neighborhood!
Monk's KettleResponded on 23 November 2024
Thank you so much for so many kind words Tarah! We're thrilled to be in Oakland and doing our best to be THE neighborhood spot (which of course means making sure all the parents and kiddos have a place to go too!). And we're incredibly happy to hear that the vibe, service, food and drink were all top notch. That's the standard we set for ourselves, and we'll keep doing all we can to maintain it. Hope to see you again soon!

Wonderful restaurant with fabulous neighborhood feel. The food was wonderful, the beer selection great, and the surface top notch. We sat on the patio on its opening day. It was warm and cozy and surprisingly quiet given the number of people that were there. Really looking forward to going again.

We booked a table but decided it would be fun to sit at the bar. Staff were very accommodating and friendly. We shared ahi tuna burger and fries, but the fries were a little cold. Wish they had a full bar. That being said, we loved the energy and staff.
