Lois The Pie Queen

This place has amazing breakfast, especially enjoyed the hotcakes and hotlinks! The hotcake was really fluffy and tasty. The texture of the eggs are noteworthy as well they were delicately cooked to perfection with exceptional scrambled creaminess. Hashbrowns and bacon was good too I love the crispy way they cooked them. Will have to come back to this place and try the pie next time I'm in town for sure.

What a lovely breakfast spot! We went early on a Saturday and had a fantastic breakfast. The chicken in the chicken and waffles was SO FRESH. Don't forget to try the pie! We shared a slice of the raspberry key lime pie and it blew me away. Just a note that it's cash only. Lots of free street parking nearby.

I enjoyed myself. The food was delicious. It wasn’t that busy at all. I had scrambled eggs, fried chicken and hash browns. My husband had pork chops, scrambled eggs with cheese w/pecan waffle. There’s no parking lot for parking that I saw. But there was street parking in front. There were no stairs to walk up. It would accommodate a wheelchair.

My wife and my granddaughter And I were looking for a nice place to eat for breakfast in Oakland. We ran across a restaurant called Lois the Pie Queen. We were greeted and seated by Ricki. She was an excellent waitress and server, and she gave our granddaughter V.I.P treatment. Leon is an excellent cook. We ordered pork chops with hash browns and over easy eggs with biscuits, and chicken and waffles. We will definitely be going back, and I recommend this restaurant to all.We Thank Ricki and Leon for a wonderful dining experience. Can't wait to taste the banana cream pie next time. 💯👍🏾😊

Kudos to “Louis the Pie Queen” for serving such scrumptious breakfast dishes. This place has truly earned its title as a breakfast gem in the heart of Oakland!

My favorite brunch in the East Bay. Down to earth, delicious food that makes you feel happy. Other places in the east bay have too many bells and whistles. Love the chicken and waffles

Great service, very friendly staff. Haven't eaten here often but has a real comfy and chill feel. Great coffee. Parking is a little tricky, but during the week not too bad. Fried chicken is moist and bacon is very tasty. Very old school interior.

Old school inside outside, great food. I had spinach and cheese omelette with house made biscuits and grits. It was very good. Great pecan pie.

The ambiance is that of genuine and authentic soul food with southern hospitality. The history behind the legendary and authentic family dishes is truly exceptional. I highly recommend the fresh fried chicken along with the waffles.
The place does get crowded- so get there early. Very historic landmark area.
Corey is always cheerful and welcoming. Totally worth the drive.

Lois the Pie Queen is a little restaurant that has tons of character and great food. Their portion sizes are good for their prices, and that quality and taste is definitely there. The staff and service is great, super friendly and helpful. Parking is a bit tough outside and they only take cash (Venmo if you don't have any on you) so it's still pretty convenient on their part. Chicken and waffles were on point, super juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Would recommend breakfast here if you're in the neighborhood.

The place was very old and charming. We stopped for breakfast, serving was large. we shared, food was delicious, the server was great, she took good care of us.

I should have done myself a favor and come here sooner. After 3 years of living in Oakland I finally visited Lois the Pie Queen on Juneteenth and absolutely enjoyed it. I am so glad they are here and hope they continue to triumph for decades to come. The crunchiest, juiciest, and most flavorful chicken I have had in a while. 😋

Enjoyed chicken and waffles (thin style). The key lime pie I took home was to die for. You have to order ahead to get the sweet potato cheesecake which I hear is very good.

Came here 1/28/24. Me and my lady came in and the service was great. It's good to come into a breakfast spot and have good food service and music. The music was a vibe as well. Definitely coming back.

This is a fun place to go for breakfast, but be warned that it's packed on Saturday morning. You should also make sure you carry cash as they only accept cash! My Shrimp & Grits was $15.95, tho it was absolutely worth every penny! It came with 2 biscuits and I took some home, so portions were good size. It was so cool looking at the walls of pics of all the famous people that have eaten there. The service was friendly tho our server was a little slow getting to us, but we thoroughly enjoyed it and each took home a slice of pie. I have been searching for Lemon Icebox pie for years and it was tasty. I am excited about returning to this restaurant with more friends.

Unbelievably good food and hospitality. This is comfort food at its best and the pies...wow the pies. They are known for the chicken and waffles and the pies and that is exactly what we got. The BEST!! We took home the coconut creme pie, the mud pie and the peach cobbler. Delicious!!!! Our server(who is the grandson of Lois) was super sweet to our 5 year old and could not have been more friendly and warm. Great experience. Will go again for sure.

Bring your appetite, cash, and get ready for southern style satisfaction! The food is amazing & the ambiance feels like you are walking into a special slice of local history. Best breakfast I've had in East Bay, easy! PS ask for recommendations & take them. ☺

Soul food to the core specially when chef Carlos is there cooking Sunday Dinners are packed with flavor Cat fish, smoother chicken with gravy, smoother steak with gravy corn, potato salad, corn bread or biscuits i suggest you go on a Sunday but everyday they have a large variety of breakfast our favorites are the Reggie Jackson special with smoothered porkchops the home made gravy hits the spot, besides the food great service great history and family owned enjoy 🤌🏽🙏🏽. oh yeah of course the pies 🥧 😋

Okay.... breakfast? Absolutely the place to eat in Oakland. The fried chicken waffle plate was a kick. Add the fried pork chops to it.. or should I say poke chops.... ummmmm ..... oh wait... and add the hot sauce to pork chop: heaven. Your mama is up for a challenge. I ain't kidding. I had two breakfast plates... chicken and pork chops. Yes I did. And I did not take anything home.
Oh snap wait... I forget about the salmon croquettes.... lord have mercy.... you've got to try it.
I must say: it's not the cheapest place but it's very worth it...
This is a "Must eat at" if you're visiting. Its like a waffle house to Georgia. You can't visit Oakland and not make a stop at lois... that'll be so wrong...

Old school place for hearty breakfasts & brunch and (of course) pies. Come for fried chicken and waffles. There are many other choices. I had hot links and hash browns - perfectly cooked.
