Half Orange (the) - Oakland

I stopped in here during Beer Week to try some Cleophus Quealy options. The service was good. I seated myself at the counter shortly after opening and the entire staff was really friendly. I was able to sample the guest beers, and did end up ordering a pint from Ale Industries. For food, they had a Nutella Strawberry crepe on special, so I got that. It was well cooked and had plenty of flavor. If you are in the area, it's worth a stop I think.

It is a strange little place with a focused purpose: Burgers and beer. Both are great. The special sauce is also great. The service was great. Everything was great. I loved this place. I just don 't like sitting on stools so I gave it a 4 instead of a 5. Also, while they serve high quality meat, I would have eaten a cow burger if I knew it was also slaughtered in a humane way. We seem to be getting good at free range and organic. I would pay more for 'didn 't know what hit her ' slaughtering guarantees.

Love this place. Their kimchee french fries are out of the this work (if only I wasn't on a diet all the time, I would eat these every day! burgers are good, and the beer menu is short enough that I can understand each of the beers before making a choice. A really great place.

Wonderful beer. We shared an IPA and a red ale and they were hoppy. Great service. Easy seating on a Friday night. Very mellow vibe. Highly recommended.

A hidden treasure: The menu may be small, but everything I've tried during my six visits has been excellent. They have a nice selection of beers, and the staff is friendly about letting me sample a little before I decide to order a full glass.
