| - Ok. This place I know is a Pittsburgh staple. It has been around since longer than I have been alive. It is somewhere you go, well I go, when I am really craving a salty dog or fries. Usually this happens after a night class and before I go home to sleep of the working full time going to school part time blues. The food is plentiful but I will say that the prices are a little steep for what it is.
I went here last for national hotdog day. I was expecting some fanfare or something but the employee told me that every day is national hotdog day for him. Ok, I mean, I get it...but no discounts? No nothing? So I got two hotdogs with a slew of toppings and the price came out to be almost $9. Um... for two hotdogs. I mean they were great, really hit the spot but that price....eh...
We also got a basket of fries for four people. Massive! But again ketchup and cheese were extra and the price tag of the massive fries were $10. Again...they were great, but that price..eh...
I also spent the rest of the night downing water because my sodium content was way off the charts.
I like the O, it is some place that I think everyone needs to try once. I am not saying it is my go to, but it is fine for a once in a long while whim. The atmosphere is different and quieter than most of the other places you can head to in Oakland. But the price for what you get, this is not a place that I will come back to often.
It is good, salty, and fast but the order will hit your wallet for sure.
Everyone should try it out and go here once. Get the big basket of fries late night and just enjoy the atmosphere. It is a good place to pull up a table and chat after a long day of work and school.
