Rudy's Can't Fail Cafe

Basic diner food. Breakfast served all day.

Tattooed servers (with attitude). Sometimes the music is loud (punk rock)—not a place for those looking for a quiet, romantic evening, or for folks who are hard of hearing, but a fun late nite hash house.

$1 beers from 9pm-1am everynight.

The kids menu has games and can be colored. There are theme tables and a large Barbie doll display. The breakfast menu has a funny face pancake.

The Townhouse is very near where you’re staying and usually very good food, too. I also like Bucci’s. Rudy's Can’t fail Cafe is decent for breakfast and Arizmendi is known for their pizza and baked goods. READ/REPLY (by Nutraxfornerves , updated October 6, 2008)

»ISO Hash Browns in Oakland

Rudy's Can’t Fail Cafe. Technically not in Oakland, though only a block and a half away. I imagine the breakfast menu approximates what Dave’s used to serve except with a sort of not-too-offensive hipster upgrade. Good... READ/REPLY (by Cheesy Oysters , updated September 15, 2008)
