OAKLEY, CALIFORNIA
is a city that is located within the county of Contra Costa, with a mid-sized population of just over 33,000 people. Party Bus San Francisco services this area, and would very highly recommend any one of the great restaurants and bars on this page! Some of the other reasons to come into the Oakley area would be the Freedom Swimming Pool and Franks Tract State Recreation Area. There are plenty of active things to do here in Oakley, but after you're done with that, you've got to eat and maybe have something to drink to relax the day away! These are our favorite bars and restaurants in the 94561 zip code!
♦ Black Bear Diner ♦
Black Bear Diner has a lovely cabin style of decor that we really enjoy. It's very rustic and authentic feeling. There are bears all over the place in keeping with the name! It feels like a vacation, and it's fun for the kids too. The best thing is the food, which is just delicious and completely home cooked. Breakfast is an absolute Oakley tradition here, always packed with happy residents and fresh coffee being poured every second. Everything that they serve here is fantastic. Great pies too! You can find Black Bear Diner on Main Street between Vintage Parkway and Norcross Lane.
♦ La Costa ♦
La Costa is a great Mexican restaurant in Oakley. It's very authentic, really spicy and good. They've got some of the fastest service around, so if you are in the middle of a hard working day and need to get back from lunch quickly, this is a really good place to stop. No reason to settle for "fast food" when you can get this authentic delicious food that's fast! Excellent chips and salsa, and we love their tacos and wet burritos! The pork quesadillas are amazing too, and the tortas are really worth a try. You'll be glad we told you about this place. You'll be able to locate La Costa on Main Street between Norcross Lane and Vintage Parkway.
♦ Rosita's Mexican Grill ♦
Two Mexican restaurants in a row? Yes. Because they are both just so excellent! They've got the very best tacos, burritos, and enchiladas in town, with all of them being really filled with great ingredients in generous portions! We love coming in on Friday evenings to enjoy the live mariachi music too. If you recognize the address as being the home of a former dive bar, you're right! They have turned it into one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area, and we really love it. This is one family run business that we are really big fans of! The location of Rosita's Mexican Grill is at 200 West Cypress Road. Very highly recommended!
♦ Los Charros Mexican Restaurant ♦
OK, just one more Mexican restaurant, because we love this place too! Los Charros Mexican Restaurant is the place to go in Oakley for delicious chiles rellenos! We are truly addicted! They also have excellent tacos, burritos, and all the other traditional Mexican fare. Their chicken tacos and chile verde burritos are also really worth a mention. Once you've tried their food, it will be hard to go back to any other Mexican restaurants (except the ones on this list of course!). They really are that good. You will be able to find Los Charros Mexican Restaurant on Main Street between Oakley Road and Teakwood Drive.

♦ Uncle Wong Chinese Restaurant ♦
Uncle Wong Chinese Restaurant is a classic in Oakley, and everybody that we know just loves it here. The prices are on the more affordable side here than at some of the more gourmet Chinese restaurants, and the food is more old fashioned, the way you remember it from your childhood here in California. One of the things that sets this place apart from other Chinese retaurants is that the food comes with a salad, which we really enjoy. Very fresh and delicious. Their honey walnut prawns are the best around, and we would very highly recommend this place for either dine-in or carry-out. Though it is very small here, it's also very comfortable! You can find Uncle Wong Chinese Restauranton Main Street between Big Break Road and Carol Lane.
♦ Aladino's Pizza ♦
Many people in Oakley rely on Aladino's Pizza for the freshest and most delicious pizza pies around! Many people say that the prices are a bit higher here than you'd expect at a pizza joint, but then again the quality is much higher too. Everything is from scratch, including the dough and the sauce, and we really love coming in to enjoy one of those fresh pizza pies along with a pitcher of beer. Pair that with a salad and you're good to go. The service is really great here, very fast and friendly, and we love the charming and cozy atmosphere. The location of Aladino's Pizza is on Main Street between Oakley Road and Teakwood Drive.
♦ Silver River Restaurant ♦
Silver River Restaurant is another great Chinese restaurant in the Oakley area, and this one is a cut above the rest in terms of quality, service, and consistency. They've got some of the nicest flavors here, including an orange chicken that we really enjoy, as well as mu shu dishes and wonderful house special rice! Though the quality is definitely kicked up a notch here in comparison to other Chinese food places in the area, the prices are not. It's very affordable. The location of Silver River Restaurant is on Main Street between Norcross Lane and Vintage Parkway.
♦ Mike's Beef 'n' Brew ♦
Mike's Beef 'n' Brew is one of our favorite steakhouses hands down, and the plus here is that it's located conveniently right here in Oakley! They've got a really excellent Bacon Stuffed Burger that we love to order when we come here, and they also have really excellent clam chowder. The waitstaff is really friendly and accommodating here, and we enjoy the ambiance and the atmosphere very much. We've never had a bad meal here, and many times we like to bring in a group of friends for a fun night out and dinner. You can find Mike's Beef 'n' Brew on Main Street between Big Break Road and Carol Lane.
♦ Renee Asia Island ♦
Renee Asia Island is definitely a different kind of dining experience. We really love the tempura here, and the seafood and tofu dishes are just out of this world. They've got great salt and pepper spare ribs that you've just got to try, and their lemon chicken is also a winner! It's rare to be treated to the kind of high quality service that they have here, and we also enjoy the warm and cozy ambiance. They really keep it very sparkling clean here, and it's a pleasure to dine here no matter what time of day you come in. You'll be able to locate Renee Asia Island at 2525 Main Street.
♦ Round Table Pizza ♦
Round Table Pizza has gotten yet another recommendation for us, for this great location right here in Oakley! We've always loved this family friendly restaurant because you can just come in, sit at one of those big comfy round tables, and order that famous King Arthur pizza that you love so much. They really pile on the sauce, cheese, and toppings here, and the crust is some of the best that we have ever tasted. Great atmosphere and very friendly waitstaff! You will be able to find this Round Table Pizza location at 2190 Main Street! Very highly recommended!
