The food and service just don't cut it Beverly - sweet highball drink without much depth Lanail - great balanced cocktail, with pickles Maragaret - unique and acidic, herbal BBQ shrimp - good sauce, tomato, smokey, creamy, with buttery
My family and I had a great experience here.
The service was efficient and friendly, and the food was amazing. We came for brunch and ordered a La carte instead of doing their pre fixed option. We got the croquettes, beignets, bans pancakes, chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, and the po bo

Feel the need to write a review for this place just due to the sheer level of accolades it's received. We got the family dinner. The service was warm and welcoming, but pretty slow. I enjoyed every dish we got, but nothing really stood out. The

Wow, what an experience! I kept hearing about Burdell and had been wanting to try it, but heard it was hard to get reservations. Fortunately, myself and a coworker got in on a Tuesday evening for a great meal. I loved the vintage decor. The nosta
Extremely overrated restaurant.
The food was average to above average at times, however the service is not acceptable. For example, wine pours were small, and I also got a kombucha that was maybe a 3 to 4 ounce pour. Also if you are splitting dishes, they will not separate out meal

I was super excited for some comforting soul food and had a pregnancy craving for grits/boiled peanuts. However, immediately upon entering Burrell, I felt un welcome. I called ahead and asked if I can get my food togo, and while they said they don�
I had a lovely brunch here with friends.
The food is generally some elevated soul food, and my understanding is it's black owned so I was willing to try it out. It was perfect for brunch cause while the service wasn't super fast, it was good for just chilling and grazing food with
This review feels a bit different from my last one.
You know, this restaurant popped up in one of my absolute favorite brunch spots, Aunt Mary's, which sadly closed down during the pandemic. So, when it opened, I was super hopeful, especially since the previous owner mentioned they'd found a

Went back for dinner, and still had one of the worst dining experiences. The servers have a laissez faire attitude, "Oh, you're not good enough to eat here" attitude. Reading through the reviews here, Google, and across other platfor
Glad I was finally able to check this place out.
My friend and I ordered the Family Dinner and overall we enjoyed it. They put a unique twist on southern classics that keeps things interesting. The flavors are rooted in tradition, but with a modern spin. I loved the cornbread and really liked the g
Like grandmother’s kitchen
Currently, there is quite a hype around this restaurant in Oakland. So, we had to try it. We managed to get a table for an early dinner on a Friday night. Staff were very friendly and can do. We added a friend to our booking last minute, which was no
The San Francisco Chronicle did not do this restaurant any favors
It’s not the restaurants fault that the chronicle named it. Best restaurant in the Bay Area. It is not the best restaurant in the Bay Area. Some of the items on the menu are excellent and offer a meal to remember. But other items like the barbecue
Yummy food!
Excellent cocktails and appetizers. The mushroom/onion appetizer with maple glaze was incredible! Pea stew with morels was delicious. Everything was flavorful and perfectly seasoned. Service was good but not great. I was without water for a whil
Lives up to expectations!!
What a delightful experience it is having brunch at Burdell! It starts with the staff-welcoming, friendly, and responsive. Then there's the cool environment with a warm and inviting feel, (comfortable and casual with class). The food is extraord
Bring back Aunt Mary's because this aint it!!!
Won't be going back, unfortunately. Not NEVER EVER!!! Started with the poor customer service from the woman answering the phone. She said her name was Zara. Totally rude. She may hate her job or been having a bad day, but had we not already rese
Not a good experience
The worst experience I have ever had. The food was not very good and it was cold. and lack of taste. The service was poor and disappointing, but I feel the poor service was due to a lack of training. The place was not busy but the staff did not eve
Nuanced Classics of Soul Food
Fantastic dinner at Burdell. It’s a lovely space, great ambiance: nostalgic, relaxed but lively. Very nice select list of wines, delicious cocktails and zero proof drinks. Our party shared the family dinner and their divine house specialty shrimp
We'll Be Back
We celebrated Valentines Day here (but on on Valentines Day). The cuisine is "nostalgic" soul food but upscale and creative. The service was impeccable, the decor has kind of a late '60's/early '70's vibe, there was so
Connect with users posting reservations for Burdell Oakland
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Burdell Oakland. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Burdell Oakland at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Burdell Oakland page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Burdell Oakland to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Burdell Oakland!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
