when i say, this is a must try…you better try it!!! my brother frequents this restrautajt and i am so glad he brought me. i ordered the brown stew chicken….and it was delicious. the stew was full of flavor and the chicken literally was falling right off of the bone. the perfect amount of spiciness but i did at times add some of the habanero sauce and oh man was it amazing! the rice and peas was cooked perfect and the flavor was insane. my best friend got the oxtail, which was also amazing. the serving was large, the meat was cooked perfectly, and the flavor was on point. spiciness level was just right. the plantains were fresh and delicious. we all tried the jerk chicken and yum!!! again, cooked perfectly and juicy. the jerk seasoning was not too overpowering but also not lacking. i was basically drinking the jerk sauce it was so good, and i don’t even like jerk flavor! beef patties were to die for. not greasy, light/full of flavor. meat was great quality. 10/10 recommend. will definitely be visiting when i’m in oakland and i highly encouraged anyone who enjoys Jamaican food to do the same!

I love using Google Reviews to search for new places to eat! The recent reviews & reviews w/pics are especially helpful! I visited Sweet Fingers before a concert at Oakland Arena. First of all, the restaurant's distance from the arena is less than 10 minutes, so that was convenient. Second, our server's vibe was on point! She was welcoming, pleasant and very attentive. I didn't catch her name, but I'd go back just for her! We ordered Mama Mia wings, Jerk Chicken, and Oxtails to share. I've never had jerk chicken or Oxtails so I cannot compare. I loved the sauce/gravy's seasoning in all the dishes. Everything was very flavorful and I especially enjoyed the hint of heat the jerk chicken came spiced with. It was especially yummy mixed with the rice & beans. The Mama Mia wings were equally delicious abounding with flavor (not spicy) All food was served hot which I appreciate! I want to go back & try so many things! Fried chicken will be next for me!

Stopped in for some dinner with a friend on a Tuesday night, and the vibe was nice. They had a DJ going, and it was the bartenders birthday. The experience started out decent. We ordered our food for dine-in; I got the jerk chicken plate with a Ting soda, and she got the rasta salad. We waited over 30 minutes, and the guy brought out plated food for the people who ordered AFTER us while looking directly at me while he walked by our table. Several minutes later, he comes to our table with two separate plastic bags with small containers in them and sets them on the table in front of each of us. My friend paid over $16 for a basic side salad, and they didn't even give her any salad dressing with it. The jerk chicken wasn't even spicy, barely had any sauce on it, and I couldn't believe how small the portion was in comparison to what they brought to the previous table on plates, especially when I paid $28 for it and $8 for a Ting (I even gave dude a tip prior to receiving the food, we both did)! They will NEVER AGAIN get my money due to their poor customer service. It was blatant disrespect, so we ended up leaving. If you're willing to drive to East Menlo or San Jose, Back-A-Yard has WAY BETTER service and AMAZING authentic Jamaican food with more reasonable prices and portions.

Delicious! We always order the oxtail, jerk wings, beef Patties and plaintain. The oxtails have a lot of flavor, and include an ample amount of stew. Like every oxtail dish I’ve ever ordered from any restaurant, I wish there was more meat. Took one star off for that. The jerk wings are tasty with the jerk sauce; cooked till tender and moist. Plantains are also great. Patties are worth ordering too. One time our order was incorrect and the restaurant was so great about fixing it. When my husband went to pick up the item missing from our order they gave him a free dessert. I’ve only enjoyed this via delivery service so I can’t speak to the ambiance of the restaurant.
