This local restaurant chain has various locations in the east bay (you can find others on their website), and it is without a doubt the best place for burgers and fries. Try the spicy fries! For vegetarians they have a really amazing tofu burger.

Chicago style stuffed crust pizza in the east bay! This stuff is killer. The place is always packed so go early or call for take out.

Completely vegetarian and really delicious vietnamese food. They have lunch specials that are around $7, and ordering from the menu isn't much more expensive. The curries are wonderful, as are the fake chicken dishes.
Cozy Ethiopian restaurant in North Oakland. The lunch specials are under $6, and dinner will run around $8-$10, not including drinks (they have four different kinds of imported African beers).
My favorite ethiopian restaurant. The spicy dishes are outrageously hot and delicious. I recommend the Yemeser Wat (lentils in a super spicy berbere sauce) as well as the Ater Kik (split peas, not so spicy) and the Shiro Wat (split peas with berbere sauce, but also not so spicy). They have a lot of vegetarian options and will cater to vegans as well. Each plate (which is usually more than enough for one person) is about $7-10.
Open daily 11:30-10pm
