I was on my way to Crabapples Seafood Restaurant in Alameda and got a traffic alert that the tube was closed because of an accident. Well…that’s that! So, it’ll be The Fat Lady Bar & Restaurant…as it should have been all along, because no one does it better than the Fat Lady!

We sat at the bar and had dinner there – same menu as the tables, and the bartenders (Adam and Beth) were great. The drinks are well made, both alcoholic and NA. (I recommend the Italian Spritz if you are the designated driver but want to feel like you are indulging), and the food is really good. Would highly recommend for dinner if you are in the Jack London Sq area.

We went for lunch. We were seated right away. It was a busy lunch hour. There is street parking out front with meters. This is a staple restaurant in Oakland Jack London Square. This was my first time visiting this restaurant. My friend who came with me has been eating there for over 20 years but has not been there in about 15 years. And the decor is a must see. It is very lovely and interesting!
As far as the food and service, it was excellent!! I had the Cobb salad and all the ingredients were very fresh. My friend had the crabcakes and she loved them. She also had a side Caesar salad, which was literally excellent. We each had the best iced tea since neither one of us drink alcohol.
My friend was so pleasantly surprised at how good the food still was after all these years! You know how sometimes you go to a restaurant that’s been open forever and the food kind of goes downhill. Well this was not the case with the Fat Lady whatsoever! Five stars for lunch!
We are local to the East Bay so we are looking forward to going back soon.

This place is a whole vibe. Sort of old school, classic, with a really good chef. The owner hand makes the cheesecake, and it’s drizzled with this astounding red wine sauce. Everything we had was excellent. The bartender also made nice, strong drinks that don’t skimp on liquor. It’s definitely worth it.
Bonus: they keep the Christmas decorations up really late for fun, which is hella unique and adds to their charm.
Supposedly, this place was once a brothel.

The fat lady’s been around for 53 years and still serving up some great food. With it all is just the best table service. A great selection for cocktails from the bar. I had a spicy, bloody Mary, and my friend had an espresso martini , that was super. And they have family recipes for their cheesecake and the Pate. I was served up a delicious Warm Spinach Salad that was topped off with a poached egg that was great. My friends had their specially prepared lamb chops that are hard to beat. We had a couple servings of their delicious French onion soup. Another friend had a special this week of a pasta dish with spiral pasta, corn, cherry tomatoes, and olives, and garlic. Also ordered was a great Fat Lady Burger as well as an order of corn chowder that was delish. It’s definitely worth checking out.

The place is beautiful decorated the building has lot’s of story behind it. Food wise , the menu was quite small not much to choose from. For a good beer and cocktail this place should do it.

7/31/21-The double cut pork chop was cooked perfectly! I only wish that I had more of the delicious mashed potatoes and 1/2 of a carrot, broccoli just right!
I am glad that we had reservations for dining outside last night. The sign on the door said that masks weren’t required indoors! I don’t recall seeing anyone wearing masks in the jam packed restaurant. I have a feeling that we’ll be eating out of To Go boxes again in 2 weeks.
10/27/18-We went there again last Saturday to take in the Halloween decorations. I had the scallops with risotto, the scallops were burned on the ends and still raw inside. It still amazes me that some restaurants in the Bay Area can’t properly seafood?
10/28/17-I went there for the first time Monday night before Halloween to see the decorations… Impressive!
This cozy place has a good menu and good service.
The pork chop was a little small for a double French cut Chop, taste was very good, cooked just the way I like it but, needed more mashed potatoes.
Salads and Appetizers small, tasty and pricey.
I would go there again.

Food was good. Drinks were good. Atmosphere was great. I enjoyed a the look of the bar. Bartender was pretty busy with closing so if I had a question I had to refer to the menu about the history. Small talk is usually good but didn’t find it here. The bar had a wide variety of cocktails but not beer and didn’t look like anything on tap.
