Sweet Fingers Jamaican Restaurant 5859 Foothill Boulevard, Oakland, CA 94605

"I slept on this place for too long! BEST JAMAICAN FOOD in the Bay Area. I'm very picky about mine too. FAST service! I was in and out Price wasn't too bad. For this small plate of oxtail it was $20 You won't find a place this good in Oakland. The other ones are Lowsy. Also the restaurant inside is very nice."

"The atmosphere is great and restaurant is very clean. The bar tender and server speak to everyone coming in and are friendly. I had the curry snapper and it was delicious with a nice amount vegetables. Unfortunately they sold us day old peas and rice that was very dry and hard textured. They even served me a burned plantain. Had the peas and rice been fresh it would've been top tier. I did let the server know and she was quick to see if better was available. The 2nd batch was better. Not the best but better."

"My daughter and I visited the new location on Foothill and was amazed at how clean and beautiful the restaurant is inside. The tables were clean. The bar was tended to. There is a tv to show the football game. The food was hot and delicious. They have high chairs for babies. It was pleasant eating here."

"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."

"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!"
