I've been coming here for nearly a decade and the food, ambiance, and fun are all better - not that I had any problems before. Kudos for braving the storm on serving Vietnamese food. The banh mi is fresh. Fish and chips and the clam chowder were probably the best I've had in awhile and that's saying something (I was stationed all along the upper east coast for a brief time in the service and all we ate was fish and chips... and chowder... a lot of chowder). Spaghetti and garlic bread is legit, like Italian restaurant legit. Go support them folks. I hear the ownership is opening another restaurant in the old train station too.

Finally Quinn's has capable ownership. Immediate vibe change from last time I was here and new menu with new owners. Came here for a quick banh mi to go. Super attentive staff (unlike past), saw them doing a birthday slice for a family sitting down (doubt old owners would ever do that). Place is much cleaner and it feels safe to eat here finally. Grilled pork banh mi hit the spot. Excited to try some of the new seafood things on the menu and actually bring people here. Kudos to new staff and ownership. I will be back.

Quinn's is open under new ownership, and the food is terrific! Larry is an experienced restauranteur, so I have faith that that this will be a successful venture. You can get hamburgers and fish and chips and clam chowder, but now also a selection of Vietnamese dishes. I had the beef and lemongrass sandwich, and loved it! Can't wait to try all the other Vietnamese sandwiches! We will toatally be back on a regular basis. Be sure to go on a Thursday and catch the Sons of the Buccaneers, back after their absence! The music starts at 8:00 p.m.--be ready to sing along! https://www.facebook.com/pkasin/videos/359879173750809

May 3,2024. New ownership, new management, new Asian influenced menu. Taps are not set up yet. Bottled beer is five dollars. Fish and chips remain on the menu. Maybe a different batter but still top-notch. Same classic decor, and fantastic views. Don't know when it reopened, but so glad it did. Will give a time for the staff to get up the speed and settled in.

I love Quinns, and I'm bummed they closed permanently today! I have stopped in many days to sit at the bar and chop it up with the bartenders. Great food, drinks, and location. Positioned right on the scenic Oakland estuary. The absence of Quinns will definitely leave a void in the area. I wish the employees all the best moving forward! Long live Quinns!!

I came in and had dinner here a couple nights in the same week. I sat at the bar, the service was pretty good, but it felt like the staff was stretched a little thin. I tried the fish and chips the first night. It was a healthy serving of beautifully breaded fish. When I came back I got the fish sandwich. It was the same great fish, light and flakey. I would gladly eat here again! Great food, fun location, good service!

Date: 5/14/2023 Time: 1:10 PM 72° Sunny The last time I had lunch at Quinn's was about 30 years ago. Back then, it was an office Christmas party and I enjoyed myself. Moving forward to today, my daughter brought me here for a Mother's Day lunch. Our reservation was at 1 PM and we were slightly behind schedule. The host escorted us to our table immediately. The waiter who brought us the glasses of water was in a somewhat sour mood. The guy had a scowl on his face. Hmm. Do we get up and leave? Naw, he is not going to take the joy out of me. However, the wait time to order our lunch took about 30 minutes. Service was slow. There's no need for me to throw a hissy fit and act a little cray cray with other restaurant diners around. Based on my observation, he was the only waiter on the floor and there were at least 30 diners in the dining room. He never came back to our table, as there were about 15 people (in a group) sitting behind my daughter. He was quite busy serving them. I saw all those plates of food and they sure look delicious. Finally, there were a waiter and waitress helping with the rest of us diners. The waitress was apologetic for the delay. For my daughter, she ordered the crab louie salad and a ginger beer. I had an Arnie Palmer and the cioppino. The Arnie Palmer was okay. At first, it had a nice balance of tea and lemonade, but the tea eventually overwhelmed the tartness of the lemonade. The beverage became a tall glass of iced tea. I had better elsewhere. The cioppino was quite tasty and the portion was generous with plenty of seafood in the tomato based broth - clams, mussels, calamari, scallops, prawns, bay shrimp. So hearty that I could only eat half of it and brought the other half home. I wouldn't mind returning for that salad. The ambiance is comfy and casual. A table by the window offers a view of the boats docked in their berths.
