Daughter's Diner - Oakland

PERMANENTLY CLOSED as of Jan 21, 2022 will be missed. Do not order delivery (even though you can). You'll just be sad.

Just OK. Came here for a Sunday lunch with my husband and ordered: Fries and hollandaise the fries themselves were well fried but they had so much salt that they were a bit painful to eat. The hollandaise was extra and it was more of a frothy, slightly lemony sauce that didn't add much flavor to the fries. Burrito del guero my husband enjoyed the flavors of this burrito but the overall internal texture was wet. There were salad greens included inside the burrito which turned soggy and wet when combined with the other hot ingredients. I couldn't take more than a few bites of this. It came with a side salad as well, and I finished that lol. Roasted pork shoulder this dish itself looked a bit lack luster and the flavor was boring. The main flavor was just salty, I think it needed some kind of acid. The potatoes, turnip, and spinach were just meh. The meat was cooked well though, it was tender and soft. Overall I didn't really enjoy anything we ordered but maybe that's on us!

Ordered a breakfast burrito and it came with pickled onions and lettuce, which, if this is not a mistake, are two items worth mentioning when putting on any burrito, let alone a breakfast burrito. Not great.Also worth mentioning is the potato wedges are not hash browns.Cheddar was not melted, cool.I wish I had a better report. Sorry to be a Debby Downer.

Such a pleasant dining experience here for brunch on Sunday! Came with a friend and my toddler and we sat outside in the heated parklet. The inside is retro diner and beautiful as well! Staff were super nice and this is probably one of the most kid friendly places I've been in a while. Sidewalk chalk, crayons, coloring sheet and high chairs! The kids menu is also unique and well-portioned. I had the green eggs and ham and would highly recommend it! Can't wait to try some other menu items in the future as well. Easy parking (and free) on sunday. Wasn't crowded so felt Covid safe. Would highly recommend!

Not the best for vegetarians; bacon in most things. Would be better to price the base item and then have an additional fee for bacon or meat. Eggs were excellent and curried squash soup was tasty, but surprised that it was almost $10 and didn't come with a side of bread and butter ??‍ Smoothie was warm and we asked for it with ice which made it better.
