- Stacy TangJanuary 12, 2017Best quality Southern food in Oakland. Fried chicken and shrimp and grits are always delicious. This place never disappoints!
- AskMenDecember 9, 2010Some places only offer bacon-infused bourbon once in awhile, but Pican, embassy of Southern food & drink in the East Bay, has just made bacon-infused bourbon drinks part of its regular menu. Try one.
- Hailey CrowelJune 9, 2013Classed up southern food. Highly recommend the meatloaf, short ribs, and fried green tomatoes. And save room for the pecan tart!
- Jodie SteinbergFebruary 16, 2015Not healthy but who cares. Big whiskey selection and the Mac and cheese is to die for and the fried chicken.
- Everything is Delicious from the Hand crafted cocktails to the honey drizzled Fried Chicken!
- Maria MarianoNovember 15, 2013The Gouda Mac and cheese was perfect. For dessert get the banana cream with raspberry dessert.

- P Johnson @UnclePaulitoApril 15, 2013The fried chicken & Mac n cheese are great, good portion...but $2 for a drizzle of honey is ridiculous!
- CrillmaticFebruary 9, 2013Try the Key Lime Icebox Pie - Key lime custard, graham hazelnut crust, Marion berry red wine sauce, candied ginger.
- Jason JamesJuly 30, 2014Creative Californian takes on Southern moms' home cooking beloved by locals and visiting foodies alike.
- SFGate ManagerJuly 16, 2012It may be known for its fried chicken, grits and bourbon pairings, but Picán also makes an exceptional artisan cocktail.
- Brian De La TorreJuly 30, 2012You must try the Picán Old-Fashioned. All you need to know is that it is bacon-infused.
- SOctober 4, 2015We got seated right away on a busy Friday night. Service was lacking. Our waiter could have cared less about us and might as well have thrown the check at me at the end. Food was expensive, only ok.
- scott andersonJuly 10, 2010This place simply rocks. Michael LeBlanc is a creative genius. Get the jumbalaya, the hot brown, the pimento cheeseburger, and a flight of bourbon! Read more
- BlackboardEatsSeptember 8, 2011The Crawfish “Louis” alternates between bites of romaine tossed in vinaigrette, crawfish salad in Louis dressing, cool deviled eggs, and crisp crawfish beignets.

- CrillmaticFebruary 9, 2013Try the Georgia Pecan Tart - Créme fraiche gelato, bourbon caramel, whipped cream
- Quiera MartinezAugust 1, 2010Pretty good food...fried chicken and mac n cheese was very good..service was crappy...the venue and music are very cool!
- Jamar MooreDecember 2, 2012The meatloaf with sweet sauce is very good. The fried chicken is good also.
- Happy hour prices are ~alright, but the regular menu prices are nowhere near worth the quality just yet. A+ Southern food though ~
- Pican's food is awesome. But the owner, Michael Lablanc, owes me an apology. So when you see Michael say "Apologize to Zennie."
- MariaMay 15, 2013During brunch: the BBQ Bourbon Bloody Mary garnished with bacon and shrimp. Because why the hell not.
- ShereaJune 1, 2015Michael was NOT a good waiter. Wasn't attentive at all. The food looked good but didn't taste as good as it looked.
- Madeline ManogueApril 16, 2010This is my favorite place to eat in Oakland! Cornbread, and pecans, and fried green tomatoes...oh my!!!
