Picnic

I was walking down San Pablo Avenue just minding my own business looking at all the wonderful things that seem to pop outa nowhere when all the sudden this Craig fellow does this clicking noise to catch my attention, well it worked because I turned around to see what was clicking.. and there's this guy clicking on a computer mouse! He tells me his name is Craig, and he's been following me for some time! Well, my first reaction was to pat my waist to make sure Little Thumper was there, it was, so I relaxed and asked him if he needed help, no he tells me, ..You look hungry, and I only wanted to recommend about the best deli in the county....Albany for sure, it's right there, and points to the Picnic Deli. Well, I went right in and had about the best sandwiches I've ever had. 5 stars and w

Got the roast chicken lunch box—containing enough tasty olives, delicious chicken and unbelievable potatoes to serve 2. I would happily back to try the grab and go food, the sausages, and desserts offerings. The small outdoor dining area and great service are nice, too. Go!

Picnic is a true gem. Love this place. As an ex Oakland resident, the fried chicken sandwich at Picnic got me nostalgic for Bake Sale Betty. So damn good. Also, their rotisserie chicken is out of this world. Highly recommended. Great grab and go salads are available too.

Hands down the best rotisserie chicken I ever had! The potatoes are cooked with chicken schmaltz and very addicting. They have so many other amazing selections from handmade sausages to their daily sandwiches. I always highly recommend this place to all of my family and friends and now I’m telling you to go and try it out, you won’t be disappointed!
