from Google & Yelp"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."
"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."
"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."
"Town Fare which is in the Oakland Museum is a cute spot with great ambiance and plenty of food options. I started with some ginger beer and it was delicious and it wasn’t just some Canada Dry ginger ale. I loved that Town Fare seemed to have some local brands like with the ginger beer and I also loved that these local brands tried to prioritize healthier ingredients. For food I got the fried chicken and waffles with dark meet and buttermilk waffles. The food came out pretty fast and it was hot and fresh which I loved. The fried chicken was absolutely delicious. The chicken was so tender and the skin was crispy and savory. The tender chicken and crispy tasty skin complemented each other perfectly. Once you put some maple syrup on the chicken that’s the perfect bite. The waffle on the other hand was lack luster as it wasn’t very fluffy and was almost dry even after dousing it in butter and syrup. OVERALL, Town Fare was a delicious spot and perfect for Oakland Museum visitors or just people in the area. Keep in mind that Town Fare is on the pricier side when coming though. I would definitely hope to homage again and I recommend this Oakland gem to others!"
