Justin SullivanJuly 8, 2015On a sunny afternoon in Oakland there's no finer place to have a drink than out in back of Plank. Play corn hole. It's free.
Jason BaxterFebruary 13, 2015Bocce and bowling. Nice outdoor patio. Go for a team building event or party during a weekday if you can and you'll have the place mostly to yourselves.
Ms HeleneSeptember 3, 2018Go for waterside dining and games. Skip tuna poké and raw roasted brussel sprouts
Brian StraussJanuary 18, 2016Super fun for adults and kids alike. Finally a place of amusement that doesn't treat the food as after thought. Good burger!!
Duane MowrerApril 1, 2018Just know that it's going to be noisier than you expect. As long as you're good with that, it's a great place to go.
Channelle M.I A BrownOctober 24, 2014Atmosphere nice since it's new. Food is pricy for a bowling alley the drinks were not mixed well and 45 bucks for a lane on the weekends..
- Jonathan ArnoldMarch 8, 2015Awesome place!! Bowling, bocce ball, beer garden, arcade. Good was good.
Yaron SNovember 27, 2014Patio is great on Sundays. Bocce, football, beer, and the farmers market just outside. You've been warned, service is slow.
Allison HSeptember 27, 2015Service is ridiculously slow. They also don't regularly bus tables and you'll often find yourself surrounded by your own empty plates and other peoples dirty plates at empty tables next to you.
Nick CollinsOctober 17, 2014First time here, old by our server that drinks take 20 min, and food takes 45 min. What a first great impression
Tone MosleyApril 22, 2015Bartenders are slow. Ordered wings & they tasted like old wings that were frozen in a bag and then deep fried to an extra toughness. Didn't bowl. But it looked fun I guess
Jay-ar B.August 4, 2015so-so place but the food i got was pretty good. security is quick to boot everyone out 5 mins before closing time.
Keith SmithNovember 29, 2014Reasonable priced drinks but they need more bartenders during busy times. Wait 15 minutes for a coke
Shaun NOctober 20, 2014Still working out kinks, but the food and games were great. Third time here in ten days
Insanely crowded on weekend nights. Expect to wait literally hours for a bowling lane.
- Keith SmithDecember 29, 2014Service at lanes in intolerable....90 minute wait for food. AND the seating area at the lanes is too cramped!!
Ryan RixJune 7, 2015Loud, the food was gross and cold. Took fifteen minutes for drinks to be made and it was still somehow more expensive than anywhere else
Collin StrakaAugust 14, 2018Severely understaffed, order was wrong... Just felt more like a transaction than a customer

"At the Farmer's market? Seek out "The Whole Tortilla" and get the tamale pie sampler: chorizo & potato, pork, and chicken verde tamale pies. Wash it down with a blueberry agua fresca!"
Michael Meadows - 7.6
"At first glance, the "pick your own 6 pack" doesn't seem like a great deal, but it actually ends up being cheaper than buying a pre-packaged six pack of the majority of beers on display!"
Joey Combs - 7.3
"Came for lunch. Crab avocado salad and hot lobster roll were both amazing! 9/10 would come again."

"Already gave a tip about the bar but the coffee is also amazing! Hands down the best Chai Latte in Oakland (they make their own chai tea). Make sure you get it dirty(two shots of espresso)"

"Excellent cocktail selection (try the mezcal one). Limited, but excellent beers on tap. If you're not sure about what cocktail you want, just tell the bartender what you like & they'll figure it out."
