You see the most shocking sights sometimes
My stomping ground is Albany/Berkeley, so I'm glad to see this thread.

Seconding Barney's. A bit pricey, but huge variety and great fries and shakes (the malts are so good!)

Oori in Albany is a small rice triangle joint with an American touch to it-- one of my favorites is the tuna aioli. It's also excellently priced-- the student bowl (it's right near the local high school so that's a huge chunk of their clientele) is a good-sized portion of protein and rice for $5.45, tax included.

Al's Big Burger in Albany is a tiny burger shack that makes some pretty good burgers. Mind you, a good portion of my love for it is nostalgia, and I'm aware it isn't out of this world.

Saul's in Berkeley is the only Jewish deli that I know of in the East Bay, which is probably a crime. It's sort of pricey, but the Reubens are so good, you guys.

Ike's is a Bay Area sandwich chain that recently opened a store near the downtown Berkeley BART station.

Sliver is up the street and is phenomenal pizza.

Speaking of pizza, Gioia, about a 15 minute walk from the North Berkeley BART station, is some of the best I've ever had. Good, flat, New York style.

The Kensington Circus Pub in Kensington (obviously) is a family-friendly British style pub that does simple food really well.

For breakfast, Inn Kensington is a family favorite. If you go there, though, it's cash only.

Any good cheap places in downtown Berkeley, around Shattuck? I'm looking for a new place to have dinner when I have class. I usually go to Pollo, Bongo Burger, or Oasis Grill. Used to go to Sliver, but they've moved.

What do you consider cheap? I like Pedros, Imm's Thai is really good, Social Club is decent, Ikes, there's of course lots of pizza

$7 to $15, generally.
