Lamplighter Cafe And Lounge

Was super Excited to try this place, finally made it there tonight. Had the 2 burgers and 2 brews for $20 Wednesday special. The service was good, it was a great modern atmosphere, everything from the counters to the floors to the chairs looked and felt newer. Full bar and beers on tap, we had the RPM, which is our fave. We both had the bacon burger with garlic fries and goop (fry sauce) everything was spot on. Huge tv in the bar plus 2 medium ones on each side, live music tonight, although we didnt stay to hear it. Cool painting hanging in the bar area. Other patrons were polite and not all drunk and roudy like you get at the pub. Will definitly be back to try some more grub and check out game day. Am very pleased to have a good restraunt in Oakland, that has alot of food options but also not high prices. I think the prices were fair and the food was seriously worth it. That tattooed up guy serving us seemed chill and nice but not hovering or rude, so very good experience all around. Food came fast. We just went back and had the fish tacos, fish sandwhich and stuffed peppers and they were bomb!

Back again, absolutely astounding food! The owners, Jami and Ron Gettemy did this right.The kitchen was remodeled with two bathrooms added. The menu is eclectic and tasty. The poppers, yes, the poppers are superb with a toss of pork rinds on top for a nice crunch. Request the bacon jam -- a homemade concoction that serves as a side. Fish tacos (cod or ahi) not to be missed. The white cheddar burger and side of sweet potato fries was excellent with crisp bacon. The photos scream yummist on all we ordered. The front is a small restaurant-- the back a hidden bar. I suggest you walk the town and view the buildings architectural features and be sure to turn the corners.
