Got the roast chicken lunch box—containing enough tasty olives, delicious chicken and unbelievable potatoes to serve 2. I would happily back to try the grab and go food, the sausages, and desserts offerings. The small outdoor dining area and great service are nice, too. Go!

Thoroughly mediocre chicken shop/specialty grocer.
Stopped in for 1/2 rotisserie chicken box. Found they had a decent selection of sodas, non-alc bevs, wines, prepared sausages, specialty goods. May stop back in for these other things.
The half chicken, at almost $20, came packed in the box atop chicken schmaltz roasted potatoes. It was paired with hot olives and roasted garlic. An assortment of sauces (aioli some kind of green sauce and some kind of red sauce) were provided.
The chicken was aggressively seasoned and moist. Unfortunately none of the flavor had penetrated the skin which meant that if the piece was without skin, you’re left with the bland flesh. The sauces were all meh. Potatoes, perfect. Olives, nicely varied. My guess is that the bird could have been cooked a little longer and seasoned a little further in advance. (And also checked for feathers.)
I also had a slice of the key lime pie. The beauty of key lime pie is the sharp acidity of these limes (which are in season right now) and the intense floral profile of the oils in the rind. This pie was all oil and not sharp at all. Which is a shame because otherwise, it was great. Not cloyingly sweet, not too much cream on the palate. Oh well.

Picnic is a true gem. Love this place.
As an ex Oakland resident, the fried chicken sandwich at Picnic got me nostalgic for Bake Sale Betty. So damn good.
Also, their rotisserie chicken is out of this world. Highly recommended. Great grab and go salads are available too.

Hands down the best rotisserie chicken I ever had! The potatoes are cooked with chicken schmaltz and very addicting. They have so many other amazing selections from handmade sausages to their daily sandwiches. I always highly recommend this place to all of my family and friends and now I’m telling you to go and try it out, you won’t be disappointed!

Had bookmarked this place, but didn’t remember why, so when I was in the area I decided to check it out. Lucky for me the sandwich of the day was a cubano panini and if there’s one thing about me – a cubano on the menu means I WILL order it. Yum! Pickled carrots and juicy pork and drippy mustard aioli… had to eat it while parked and leaning out of my car – just how I like it.

I truly can’t believe it’s taken me years to eat at Picnic only to discover that they serve the best rotisserie chicken I’ve ever had- no exaggeration. I melted after the first bite and had left overs and now I am sad we finished our chicken and potatoes tonight. I’m excited to try their fried chicken sandwich.

I bought a whole rotisserie chicken. It was good sized and moist, but over seasoned. They could put less salt in their brine or brine it less and rub on less spice. Sandwiches are good.

Great new addition, Picnic is a lovely local market and eatery that highlights local producers. We had the rotisserie chicken with olives and potatoes- you can tell the items were sourced locally and very fresh, the coffee cake was also incredible! We were able to purchase some items for home that they displayed- wine from a local producer as well as some fresh salads.

I would eat at Picnic every day for the rest of my life. Fresh and tasty food, absolutely delicious. Unique recipes, with very peculiar ingredients combination, but definitely perfectly balanced. My top ones: porchetta sandwich and lamb merguez. And of course, I flu back to FL with my bag full of sausages and pate. They made it perfectly! Amazing team and atmosphere.

Swung by Picnic to grab some dinner to-go, including some pickled eggs, roasted potatoes, mac n’ cheese, salad, and rotisserie chicken.
All five were fire, and paired well, like the colors of the rainbow. From the sass of the picked eggs, to the smoovness (like velvet) of the chicken, everything was delicious, like hot butta on breakfast toast.
Picnic is that rare breed of professional yet chill, with a location that is as much Berkely as it is the Durty South, with all points on lock.
Five-Outta-Five. Would Recommend!
