I'm passing this tip on. Despite all the places I've braved over the years, I hit the wall here. I'm just too damn old to go here. It's a very nice looking place. http://www.godspeedoakland.com/shop/cafe.html Even though the website says "People from all walks of life congregate here to enjoy the freshest foods, a selection of over 20 ice-cold beers, all manner of Espresso drinks and a great wine selection." .... ... I just sat in my car and stared and stared at the joint and couldn't work up the courage to walk inside. I think it was the neon 'tattoo' sign that pushed things over the line for me. Maybe someone on Chowhound has eaten here or tried the waffle/bacon/mimosa feast and could tell us about it ... anyone? Godspeed to all Fri Jan 04 13:25:55 -0800 2008 10264 rworange 1 3261700 I love it -- a politically correct biker cafe: "All of our bread is baked fresh daily at the local Metropolis Bakery, our fresh meats are only of the highest quality and all of our produce is 100% organic from local farmers. We also have a liberal vegetarian menu." Fri Jan 04 13:42:25 -0800 2008 3261622 10159 Ruth Lafler 2 3261894 Yep ... one regular menu item ... Niman Ranch all beef hot dog, bratwurst or Italian sausage $3.50 add grilled onions, sauerkraut or grilled peppers - $4.00 The prices for other food and beverages are good too. Domestic beer is $2. To be clear, waffles and bacon are all you can eat ... one mimosa. Additional mimosas are $3. Fri Jan 04 14:28:00 -0800 2008 3261700 10264 rworange 1 3261807 just to be clear, the $7 includes A mimosa. additional mimosas are $3 each (according to their site) Fri Jan 04 14:06:12 -0800 2008 3261622 17116 kc72 2 3267948 To be even clearer, the $7 includes all you can eat waffles, one mimosa, and one side order of bacon. Still a good deal in my opinion, though I don't think I'm apt to go there, either. (Too damn old and I make some pretty fine waffles at home.)

NR in concept are a good idea, in reality they're bland and never have the enough fat or nasty stuff in it to make it taste real. Any way, I haven't been but my guess is that they're hooked into the East Bay Rats Motorcycle club. The aesthetic similarities seem to be there at least. Fri Jan 04 15:15:11 -0800 2008 3261622 27275 ML8000 2 3266905 Besides the great prices on food and beer, Godspeed has an incredible cool "Disneyland quality" interior that is worth a visit. Lots of flat panel tv's and cool track bikes on display too. Sun Jan 06 11:24:17 -0800 2008 3262048 11631 Mission 2 3267035 The NR "thai spice" sausages aren't TOO bad, but in general, I agree with your not-enough-fat comments above. Sun Jan 06 12:17:44 -0800 2008 3262048 12023 Hungry Celeste 1 3289424 I've eaten there last summer, when they were having BBQ. Not expensive or spectacular. But, it's not like there's serious competition for restaurants in this area. I like Everett and Jones better, but it's farther from my house. The atmosphere at Godspeed, however, is spectacular. It's the motorcyle-land that disney never made. That alone is worth it. Everyone was friendly, and they didn't mind that I had my dog. I didn't sample their tattoos or motorcycles.
