Remember that old Allstar drive-through on West Grand that’s been sitting empty the past few years? It’s about to be serving up smashburgers, fries, and shakes. The mural’s already taking shape outside, and they’re building out their team. Good to see life coming back to this neighborhood spot, and can’t wait to try out a burger when they open. [Instagram]
📍Hyphy Burger, 898 W Grand Ave, Oakland
Big lineup announced for West Oakland’s upcoming food hall (full list below). This is huge for the neighborhood – six killer food and drink spots bringing craft beer, smash burgers, coffee, pizza, and more right by Raimondi Park. Perfect timing with the Ballers’ games and all the new housing going up nearby. [SF Chronicle]
Two spots still up for grabs – place your bets on who’s next.
📍Prescott Market, 1620 18th Street, Oakland
No sign, four tables, and located on an unassuming industrial street – such a West Oakland move. Sun Moon Studio has quietly served its $150 tasting menu since summer, joining Soba Ichi and June’s Pizza in making our neighborhood a serious foodie destination. With a food hall opening in a few months too, our district’s food scene keeps leveling up. No flashy signage needed. [SF Chronicle]
