text: If you are in Oakland with friends who are divided on drinking vs eating Fuel and Fuddle is a good compromise big beer selection to satisfy the drinkers and plenty of food options to keep the eaters happynnThe portions here are really generous While not listed directly on the menu you can request a side of just sweet potato fries instead of the mix of regular and sweet potato fries and the plate you get is huge The pizzas here are pretty good with thin crusts that are nicely chewy The dessert portions here are the largest I have ever seenthe brownie is about three or four times larger than the typical bar brownie and the nutter butter pie is the tallest peanut butter pie I have seen I like how Fuel and Fuddle tried to put its own twist on the apple turnover with the apple burnover by using pizza dough instead of puff pastry The dough itself however could have been more sweeteven with warm apple filling inside the chocolate sauce drizzled on top and the vanilla ice cream I felt the dessert lacked somethingnnAs other reviewers have said this is not a place to go to if you want to have conversations In a party of six I had to stick to talking to the people right next to me and even then I felt like I was nearly shouting The food and drinks here are not bad at all but not quite enough to convince me to frequent this place if I am not already in Oakland
