Usually I start with the food, but this place warrants an exception: My husband and I gave our names to the host after asking how long the wait would be. The host clearly did not approve of that question but put our names down, saying it would "only be a minute". We thanked him and perused the deli counter, watching... more

My husband and I ate at this restaurant twice, a late dinner and then breakfast the next morning while visiting Berkeley. We really enjoyed our meals, especially breakfast. My husband had the hash, eggs and bagel which he said were delicious. I had a tomatoe, cheese omelette which was very tasty as well as the potatoes and challah toast which... more

Saul's is ranked far too low on this list. It is the best place in Berkeley for breakfast.

Hard to believe it was as bad... more

We've only had the pleasure of eating at Saul's twice, while visiting the area, but we could happily have every meal there for the rest of our lives. Everything we had (pastrami and corned beef sandwiches, pickles, cole slaw, desserts) was died-and-gone-to-heaven delicious! We're thinking about another trip to Berkeley just to eat at Saul's... more
