Little Skillet is a cloud kitchen inside Jingletown Eats in East Oakland. I only live about 10 mins away, so I scheduled a 1pm pickup time and hoped to get the food home fast. I got a Grubhub msg that my order was ready for pickup at 1235pm. So the food sat for about 20 mins. But no harm was done as the food was fresh and tasty. I ordered a "2-pc Chicken and a side of Collard Greens." The fried chicken was moist and juicy. The crust was crispy, but not hard and crunchy. The pieces were a wing and a thigh . The collard greens were savory and flavorful. They tasted just like the greens I had in Georgia, when i was in the US Army. I also ordered "The Works," which was 2-pcs of chicken, 2 waffles, cornbread, and 1 side. My side was Mac n Cheese, and OMG it was good. It was blended well, no weird powdered cheese texture. The Chicken pieces were breast and drumstick. I usually don't like white meat, but this breast was juicy and moist. The crispy crust was an afterthought. (A hot sauce is included in the order). What's really surprising is that this food travels well as takeout. Because I would think the waffles might get soggy when packed with hot foods. Not the case. The waffles were crispy and slightly doughy. They come with a powdered sugar, and you pour on the syrup. Maybe you want to drown it with butter, but I liked it as served. So, if you like soul food, try Little Skillet @ Jingletown Eats. Remember, this is a cloud kitchen, it has no diningroom. It's strictly pickup or delivery. If you like it, it's worth the price. read more

We met for lunch on a quiet Sunday. It was our first time there. Parking was excellent. We all parked in the alley in front. It was kinda confusing looking for the entry because there's another name on the building. Once inside, I loved the unique setting. We were able to get a table right away. We had to wait until someone addressed us, seemed a little unusual as it wasn't crowded. We ordered our meals. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. I ordered the shrimp and grits. Next time, I will request an extra scoop because it wasn't enough for me. As we kept waiting to have our table cleared, my friend had to actually call out for assistance. Overall, it was a pretty good experience the food was tasty. We plan to go back on another day just to feel the vibe. read more

One bright side of 2020, Little Skillet gracing the East Bay with their presence. We placed our advanced pickup order and the food was hot when we got there. Definitely a plus coz some of these places just prepare it all and let it sit there and it's all cold by the time you start eating. Of course they still serve good ass fried chicken. Even the white meat which is normally gross anywhere is delish. They're only accepting takeout or delivery orders since they're in what I think is a communal kitchen? read more

My doordash order was missing half of the food. I got "the works fried chicken" with waffles, chicken, jalapeño corn muffins, and Mac and cheese for $18. Only the chicken and Mac came :( the bag was stapled shut so I know the missing items were the restaurants fault. Also no napkins or utensils were included. Seems like someone just threw my order together Disappointed read more

Little Skillet - Ordered "The works fried chicken meal" only half my order came. - Food Delivery Services Near Me - Oakland, California

If you like authentic Chicken'n Waffles, this is an amazing option. I used to work near their kiosk on Ritch st in San Francisco and missed it a ton when I moved to Oakland, so I was super pumped to see them open a delivery/pickup location in Oakland Ordered the family meal to feed my wife, toddler and mother-in-law. Guess who's not in the dog house anymore! :-). Crispy flavorful fried chicken; blackened chicken was tender and the hot sauce for dipping was perfect. Ordered Mac n Cheese, Mash potatoes, and waffles. Waffles were out of this world: moist, fluffy, and had just the right amount of powdered sugar. A poured syrup all over them (and the chicken of course). Also got some sweet tea and red velvet cupcakes for desert. Did I mention I'm the coolest dad/husband now? Will definitely be ordering again. All the food was well packaged, and for $60ish for the familiy meal, there was plenty to go around and plenty for leftover fried chicken breakfast :-). So happy to have Little Skillet in the Easy Bay!!! read more

I love shirimp and grits so I was excited to give the place a try. Sadly, I was left disappointed. The grits lacked flavor and were very bland. No attempt whatsoever was made in seasoning the grits. The fried shrimp was okay. The batter didn't really stick so that was a little disappointing. In addition, the shrimp also lacked flavor. I was looking for some sort of WOW factor but just couldn't find it. If this is how the shrimp and grits taste. I certainly don't have a desire to try anything else. If you're looking for your dishes to have no flavor, this is the place for you!! read more

Little Skillet - Looks good.... but very disappointing- NO FLAVOR! - Food Delivery Services Near Me - Oakland, California

Came to this Jingletown Oakland location after getting a few reco and I wish I would have came sooner. During the pandemic there's not much to do but if you can this is the place to support a bunch of small businesses. You can eat at a bunch of restaurants from one spot by picking up your food at the counter. We used doordash to order and thats the tricky part as you have to use mobile apps or yelp to pick your restaurant and order for pickup. When you get to the building, you check in on a tablet and/or the screen says your order is ready. I ended up getting the po boy chicken sandwich and it was awesome. It came on a roll with slaw and it had great flavor. It could have had more chicken but thats just me. It came with the best fries and they were well seasoned. I would definitely order here again and try a few other sandwiches that look fire. read more

This place is outrageously over priced. Yes the chicken was nicely made BUT to call a tiny wing 'white meat'? To get a half small empty cup of coleslaw salad that cost 6$?! After paying almost 30$ for lunch - we feel cheated and hungry :( read more

I recently had them delivered, honestly just hoping for the best. Typically when you order fried chicken for delivery, by the time it gets home is soggy and cold. But what a pleasant surprise, not only was the chicken crispy and warm but it was delicious! I also got some mac and cheese, seasoned fries, and a shrimp bowl, with cookies and velvet cup cakes. Blackened shrimp over mashed potatoes was vary tasty, I think they could do better on the shrimp count. Velvet cupcakes were.....meh, but the lemonade was off the hook! All perfectly packaged with extreme care, Little Skillet will be on my rotation! read more

Best Fried Chicken I've enjoyed since Covid happened! we got the Family Meal and enjoyed it at home for dinner. Their Fried Chicken was so crispy and moist and had great flavor Along with their waffles, fries, Arnold Palmer and red velvet cupcake, what a delicious meal and steal! read more

Amazing food and people (chef and owner) running this restaurant. The food and hospitality brought me back to New Orleans! Love the blacken shrimp cheesy grits , fried chicken, and the puffy waffles! Love their crafty packaging too. Kicked off a great Friday morning for my family and I. Ordering has been fun, but we definitely will need to visit this restaurant when covid is done.... Five star from beginning to the end. We ordered from the one in Oakland, but they also have one in SF. read more

This chicken is unbelievable. It really doesn't matter what you order it with, you won't be disappointed. Fried chicken may be a dime a dozen in Oakland, but if you haven't tried Little Skillet you're missing out! read more

Don't believe the hype! This was such a disappointment. I ordered delivery from DoorDash. The food came at a reasonable time, but that was pretty much the only thing that is impressive. The fried chicken was crispy but unseasoned except for salt. The waffles were soggy and a bit sour. The mac-n-cheese was grainy and congealed. I will say the biscuits were delicious and the grits were decent, but who wants to order dinner for just the sides? Plus, the portions were tiny for the price. For a family of four I spent a bit over $120! Luckily I had a gift card so it softened the blow. Maybe the food is better when you do pick up, but I'd advise against delivery and I can't imagine it would be any more than fine. read more

I ordered chicken with the works and a red velvet cupcake for delivery. As soon as I opened the bag i noticed it was missing the red velvet cupcake. Then i look through the rest of the food and cant find the cornbread muffins? I called the delivery folks to see if the driver had forgotten anything. Grubhub was no help they said the restaurant was closed and would get back to me in 24-48hrs. So then i tried the food. I paid $2 extra for breast meat, what a mistake! It was ice cold and tasted bland and rubbery. Ok, lets try the waffles. Cold, soggy and flavorless. They gave me a huge box of the cold soggy waffles. Like it was end of the night and they gave away what was left from the day, idk. But i have a ton of tasteless waffles (and i love waffles) that i wont eat. Last but not least the side dish was mac and cheese. I love a good mac n cheese and was hoping that would be decent. But again it was cold, the noodles where soggy and the cheese had no flavor. There was nothing special about this mac and cheese. I can make it better out of a box! Im so disappointed by all this i lost my appetite. I would have had more satisfaction setting two $20 bills on fire and watching them burn into thin air then blow $40 on this place again. I cant think of anything good to say about this place, except the picutres on the website look pretty but dont let them fool you! trust me when i say, avoid this place its a complete and total disappointment.. read more

The food was delicious!!!! We were craving for chicken /waffles and poboys. It was late in the evening. Had never seen or heard of this restaurant. We've had plenty from other close by restaurants and Little Skillet was by far the best. We ordered through DoorDash to deliver to Berkeley. Our delivery was timely and food was still hot. My poboy was not soggy- made in a French roll and real tasty. Other places I've had poboys from their bread falls apart. We ordered the family pack meal for the chicken and waffles. The price was right for the amount of food. My husband and kids raved about how good the chicken tasted and the waffles were nice and fluffy. Mac and cheese was hella good! Everything was hella good!!! The packaging was a plus, that definitely contributed to maintaining the food hot and non- soggy. Definitely ordering again!!! Wish I could share some pics but we were so hungry and food was so good to put down!! read more
