“ This old school place has two levels. Plenty of room. Today I sat on the entry level bc it was not crowded. Service is excellent. The background music is my fav. Oldies and they even played LSOB. The burger is hella big and the tap was good. Hella TVs for sports watching. And a private outdoor smoking section with plants! This is one of my spots for sure. ”
“ Great atmosphere, spacious with lots of televisions, very cozy, friendly and amazing service, food is fantastic, fair price, I will definitely come back. ”
“ Sporrrtttsss! Best place in the neighborhood to catch a game. They have about 300 tvs to chose from. So on those days when you can't decide between the Warriors , Raiders or Niners swing by and watch them all. The staff is amazing. The second you walk in they make you feel like you're watching a game in your own living room. Ari is the best. Make sure you're here on a night that she is. Weekends I believe. She's the friendliest, awesomest person on the planet. Always mind blowing to watch her tend the bar and take care of a full dining room on big game days. Feels like she's cloned herself sometimes! Oh ya and the food! Get all those game day treats to make you feel like you're tailgating Burgers, wings, steak and of course pizzzaaaaaaa ”
“ A family friend was recently promoted to lieutenant colonel in the Air Force. To celebrate this great achievement, a party was held in his honor on 08/28/2022 at Grand Oaks Restaurant & Sports Lounge. At first, I was like, why a sports bar? As it turned out, he's a regular and wanted to have the party here. Question answered. When my brother and I arrived at the venue, the staff was setting up the food, which was served buffet style. They were very friendly and welcoming. The interior had an old school, neighborhood bar feel. It totally reminded me of the TV show "Cheers". The buffet spread was incredible. Except for the whole roast pig, everything was made in house. The baked salmon, roast sirloin of beef, prime rib beef stew, ribs, and chicken were all cooked nicely and delicious. During the middle of the party, one of the owners busted out the karaoke machine and the party went from good to great! A wonderful time was had by everyone. Great friends, chill vibe, and delicious food. What else do you need for a great party? IMHO, Grand Oaks did a great job. I look forward to come back and try their other dishes. 5 stars. BONUS MATERIAL: - Street parking only. - A certain Bay Area celeb hangs out here. I saw her that day. ”
“ Giving this local spot a 5 for nostalgia and just a great neighborhood sports bar with a TV covering every wall. I come here with family and friends to watch local games. If they don't have your game up on a TV, they'll gladly change the channel for you. Pitchers are a great deal, you get about 4 glasses out of a pitcher for $20. Good beer on tap too. Food's pretty good too, nothing fancy but your usual sports bar fare. Everything always comes out piping hot and fresh out of the fryer. Their garlic fries with fresh garlic is my go to. Staff are super friendly and attentive. Has a real local and family run, small business feel. Come down to the Grand Oaks to watch your favorite Bay Area team. Share a beer and some food with friends and family. ”
“ Always a great place to watch your favorite Bay Area team play while enjoying a good meal! I like a good pizza or burger along with a beer on tap. Or enjoy one of their daily specials. This family run place has been a part of this neighborhood for a long time. See you at the Grand Oaks! ”
“ It's your standard neighborhood sports bar. Nothing fancy, nothing special but good, friendly service and wide screens lined up on every wall. It's the end of September so that meant football and baseball was on. But wait...is that also Big Bang Theory playing by the door? Why yes it IS one of my favorite shows playing in a sports bar. (#nerdalert) Drafts are $5 and that's not even happy hour prices. Selection included the usual beers on tap (Stellllllla, Blue Moon, Guinness) and also Lagunitas and Trumer. Menu included all the fried stuff - fries, fried shrimp, fried chicken wangs, as well as actual dinner entrees. They have an Early Bird Special until 7:30PM on those entrees that knock off a few bucks. All in all, this is a reliable place to go and wind down for the day while catching a game. I hear it gets crowded during Warriors games but I suppose the A's just don't draw the same kind of crowds. All good - at least I know I'll always have a seat! ”
