"Everyone goes wild for the bargain-priced $0.99-a-piece fried chicken (part of one of the best dollar menus in town), but this East Oakland soul food steam-table spot also excels in side dishes like its candied yams or anything that comes soaked in the restaurant’s rich brown gray: oxtails, neck bones, smothered turkey wings, or even just a simple side of rice and gravy — a struggle food fit for kings. Call in, or get delivery via apps like Doordash and Grubhub." - Luke Tsai
