Fikscue’s Alameda restaurant now opens five days a week, after an Oct. 1 expansion that added Thursday and Friday dinners. Berkeleyside Nosh reported that hours are 4-8 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and noon-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
The new profile follows the restaurant’s brisket from its smoker at Thrive City in San Francisco to service on Park Street in Alameda. Co-owner and pitmaster Fik Saleh starts the long cook the day before; the finished meat rests hot overnight before crossing the Bay.
48 Hills previously reported on Fikscue’s Thrive City opening and its halal Indonesian-Texas barbecue. Fik and Reka Saleh opened the Alameda restaurant in 2023 after operating through preorders and delivery.

The Boathouse, a neighborhood bar near Alameda’s marina, has closed. KRON4 reported on the announcement Oct. 30, and Berkeleyside Nosh included the closure in its Thursday roundup.
Measure M would amend or repeal about 20 sections of Alameda's City Charter in a single all-or-nothing vote. The mayor calls it careful housekeeping; Councilmember Tony Daysog says some changes, including board eligibility and audit powers, go further.
Mayor Marilyn Ezzy Ashcraft is termed out, and all three candidates to replace her are current or former councilmembers. With Daysog and Jensen leaving their seats, six newcomers are competing for two at-large council spots.
Measure N on the City of Alameda's Nov. 3 ballot would amend Charter Section 3-10 so the City Council can approve sales and leases of city property by resolution instead of ordinance, and approve leases of up to 10 years with three votes instead of four. It needs a simple majority.
