The 6 Best Soul Food Restaurants In Oakland - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Lois The Pie Queen lives up to its name and serves fantastic pies and desserts. The selection varies day-to-day, but if you find the key lime pie and sweet potato cheesecake staring back at you from the five-tier display case, get them. You’ll also find huge plates of solid savory soul food at this North Oakland diner-style spot. Order the Reggie Jackson special with two crispy fried pork chops, grits, any-style eggs, your choice of side (always get the pre-buttered biscuits), and a drink (with free refills). This place fills up quickly, particularly on Sundays, so try to get here right at 8am when doors open." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, lani conway
