Our Mission

Our Mission

It is our goal to bring this community a great hospitable experience. Sideshow Kitchen is a neighborhood spot with big flavors! Sideshow was founded and built with love back in 2017. Over the last several years we have made upgrades and worked hard to continuously improve our customer experience. This little roadside getaway is geared towards good old school Bay Area vibes. Simple classics made with fresh ingredients. We are proud to serve some great food and to provide friendly hospitality to the people of North Oakland and the rest of The Town.

Sideshow is a great spot we frequent at least once a week in Oakland for our company lunches. Great burgers, good service.

Sideshow is the best spot in the East Bay for a delicious burger! I love the smash burger and the secret aioli sauce is a go to for me. 5 out of 5 recommend!!

A neighborhood gem! Delicious food - the Hyphy chicken sandwich is spicy and delicious, all of burgers are excellent, and the wings are fantastic. The owner and staff are welcoming, and it’s a fantastic spot for easy family dinner with kids. Couldn’t recommend it more highly!

Ordered on Super Bowl Sunday right before the game and my food was on point as usual and was ready for pick up in 15 minutes, I swear this place never skips a beat always consistent and delicious and the wings are amazing

Love love love sideshow. Food never disappoints, and I love that the owner is usually there helping staff and customers. The Oreo cookie milkshake is murderously good too
