Lake Chalet Seafood Bar & Grill in Oakland, CA Part 1


This is a two-part review for Lake Chalet.

The first part is for the parmesan fries, which are not very impressive at all. They are probably what the baseline should be in terms of fry edibility. Ordered during Happy Hour (3-6 PM and then 9PM to closing), I felt that for $3.00, the price was fair. If I had had to pay the normal $6.00, I would have been pretty annoyed.

Although they had some things going for them (they looked hand-cut, as there was still some potato skin left on them and were not greasy at all), they were very, very under-seasoned and were poorly cooked (slightly crispy on outside, very mealy on inside). They were not served with salt or ketchup, but needed both in a really bad way.

Recommended only at Happy Hour for $3 or if in a major French Fry Pinch.





Price: $3.00
Portion Size: Medium
Texture: Slightly crispy outside with mealy potato inside
Greasiness Level: 1 out of 5 (meaning not greasy at all; very little oil left behind on fingers)
Seasoning: Parmesan and parsley
Fried in: Some sort of vegetable oil (didn't bother to ask)
Just for Decoration, Added Absolutely Nothing: Parmesan and parsely
Accompanied by Condiments: No, but needed them badly

Overall Quality of French Fries: 5 out of 10
