Fat Lady

Embarrassingly bad

by jrobino at Citysearch

I'm forced to give one star in order to give a review.

I attended an evening buffet with old friends - and spent $140.

There was no silverware, napkins or even water. And this was a $50 meal.

The only food was some breaded hors d'oeuvres and they weren't edible. No drinks were included - not even water - you had to buy it at the bar and it was Not bottled - it was tap.

Imitation Cokes went for $8.50 and two of them were less than the can that they were poured from.

It was a captive crowd so Fat Lady required payment at the door - prior to anyone seeing what they were getting.

The place was filthy and the one bathroom that serviced upstairs and downstairs held exactly one person at a time.

Any positive reviews are from the owners or staff.

HANGOUT FOR OLD, BALD, FAT MEN PLAYING DICE !!!

I think you have to be at least 75 years old to sit at the bar. The Fat Lady has seen better days as has its owners and its customers. The last time I was there the place was almost empty and the bartender was rude and maybe a little drunk. So we left and went to another restaurant. A fun visit at Halloween and Christmas to view decorations - but thats all !!!

OWNER (Jerry) does NOT pay his bills

I have not dined at The Fat Lady Restaurant in Jack London Square of Oakland. This is a review about the integrity of its owner. I am a hard working plumber that provided a service for this business. I completed the job and was given the run around by management for 2 days in regards to collecting payment. Keep in mind the invoice was signed at the completion of the job. This means the customer is satisfied with the service provided.

Finally I spoke with the owner of "The Fat Lady" (JERRY). He was very rude, obnoxious and impossible to deal with. He flat out refused to pay the bill and hung up the phone. I then came to find out he has a long history of this kind of behavior (Get the work done and refuse to pay). This is the very reason why OUR country is in this current economic crisis. It's called GREED!!! JERRY you are morally bankrupt and If your repeat or would-be patrons read this review I hope they decide to dine elsewhere to take a stand against what you represent. You have certainly lost my business

I gave you 1 star only because I had to in order to post this review
