Today was my first time at Stay Gold Deli and I will definitely be coming back. I ordered the BBQ Beef Brisket hot sandwich while my partner ordered The Riblet (pictured). Both sandwiches were delicious and the customer service from Luis was impeccable. This venue offers an assortment of entertainment from board games and pinball machines to TVs for sports fanatics and live music performances on weekends.

This was a hole in the wall that a few coworkers and I stopped by to visit. You can smell the bbq from around the block.
It’s spacious and would be a fun place to hit for Gameday or before a Cal game.
I didn’t get to snag a good pic since I was a little embarrassed to do so in front of my coworkers but the Italian sandwich was fat and delicious. My coworker got the brisket sandwich which looked like it was on toasted sliced bread. All the sandwiches sound good and the prices are fair since these are bigger sandwiches.
I would love to go here any chance I get.

What a fun time at Stay Gold deli in Oakland. It’s a funky bar with an equally funky outside area with picnic tables and umbrellas to shield you from the sun if necessary. We had the Cubano sandwich and the Reuben. Both were quite good, but we both thought that the Cubana was better. The meat is smoke with a delicate hand, the bread is fresh and the service is pretty quick. We also ordered their brussels sprouts, but we were not overly impressed with those.

Wow! What an absolute hidden gem in Oakland! We just got back from Dallas, craving Texas-style BBQ, and a friend recommended this place. It certainly did not disappoint.
From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in a welcoming place. People smiled and held the door, and someone even helped my mom, who has a walking disability, to an empty table. They also offered great suggestions from the menu.
We ordered the three-meat combo to share, which included beef brisket, pulled pork, and beef ribs, along with two sides and sauces. The meats were incredibly fresh, tender, and juicy – it truly reminded us of the BBQ we’ve had in Texas.
My mom is already planning our next visit later this month to try the rib-let and brisket sandwiches!

Amazing brisket! A nice smoke ring, succulent meat that falls apart. The spicy brisket jalapeno sandwich is fantastic. Must go for any BBQ lover or just people who want a delicious sandwich. Also just a fun spot to hang out, end of story.

Great place, truly an unexpected find in West Oakland. The 90’s rock vibe is well executed. Good BBQ and a well stocked bar, karaoke, and outside patio make this place a comfortable place to relax and have some grown folks fun. Did I mention the cool pinball games?

Stay Gold Deli/BBQ in Oakland is a true standout — they’re creating sandwiches you simply can’t find anywhere else in the city. Every bite feels bold, inventive, and perfectly balanced, with smoky BBQ flavors layered on top of fresh, quality ingredients. Their attention to detail shows in every sandwich, from the perfectly toasted bread to the unique sauces and house-pickled additions. The menu pushes creativity without losing that comforting, down-to-earth deli feel. If you think you’ve tried every good sandwich in Oakland, Stay Gold will happily prove you wrong. They also have live music occasionally.

Nice little spot with a back patio and great sandwiches. They have a few delicious vegan options (using tofu) and lots of draft beer. I’ve gotten delivery too and the sandwiches hold up relatively well.
It’s a laid back more grungy vibe. They occasionally host metal shows and karaoke.

I lived in Austin for a long time, so I’m familiar with the style Stay Gold is aiming for. They do a good job! I wouldn’t rate it top tier vs some of the places you have around Central Texas, but it’s solid.
Huge portion of really good brisket! I was actually surprised how much meat I got for the price. Very generous, especially by Bay Area standards!
The only minus I would give them is: I’d prefer more onion. But that’s a minor quibble.
So the food is great.
Also I give this place a top atmosphere rating. It’s down to earth and unpretentious, a genuine dive.
As a bonus, they host live music and–one of the best events in the Bay–Oakland Drunken Film Festival.
Long live Stay Gold!

I loved the food here, I had the Brisket Sandwich. The brisket was amazing. My friend had the brisket meal and said it was the tender tasted great. The only knock on this place is the location. The inside isn’t very inviting or encouraging, but the back patio is really nice.
