The Irie Grill in Brantford

Best Jamaican food ever had biscuit oxtail and gravy

I don t know what s going on but look like couple of months ago this restaurant was getting bare good review and now they going down got a curry goat with rice and peas and rice was crunchy like a bare bun bun rice (bottom of the pot rice) and pubic hair looking hair was in the food big turn off of course and I use to always get stew chicken cah the chef did bod still out of all the Jamaican restaurants in Brantford nah lie but you have to careful when your sharing out the food

Super nice gentleman, very knowledgeable about the food he is cooking/serving and delivers exceptional quality! Great atmosphere, would recommend to anyone. 10/10

Delicious food, friendly service. Will definitely be back!

Vegetarian options: They had awsome chickpea curry for my daughter who doesn t eat meat. Kid-friendliness: Very friendly to my daughter who wasn t going to buy anything because she didn t see any veggie options until he asked if she was vegetarian and gave her the best chickpea curry she has ever tasted.

Food is amazing! Friendly and funny Chef, very good vibes in there. Reasonably priced for the portions! Highly recommend.

Food was very authentic and homemade and very delicious. I loved the jerk chicken and chick beans and potato curry and also the coleslaw. The owner was very friendly and it was a delight to dine in and visit with him. It felt like we were in Jamaica as tourists. Parking: Nice back lot

If I could give 6 stars I would. The food is great. The food tastes natural. The gentleman that owns the restaurant is absolutely amazing. His personality is pleasant. He was very welcoming. The food tastes like heaven. Just the perfect mix of herbs, sauces & spice. I didnt think I could find anything like this in Brantford. What a pleasant surprise!!

Very good food but grosely overpriced

The food was amazing! Colin was so nice and we chatted so long our plantains almost burned! He does amazing outreach work as well as growing and raising his own ingredients. Try this place out.

Food no good

The food has the potential to be great but the last two times we went we got stale food and ended up with food poisoning. We went once and thought maybe it was an accident but the second time was just too much. Porridge and soup is amazing though Rice and peas and meats got us sick every time though And its not just me that got sick my husband did also. Prices are too high to be giving people food that makes them sick !

A really good restaurant, the food was excelent and very tasty, the owner is very friendly and serviceable, I tried JERK of the menu, I recomended it 100% for a complete lunch

3 for 3 Collin!!! I look forward my weekly Saturday meal!!! All the best.

By far the best jerk I have had since moving to this city in June 2022. Cant believe it took me so long to find this place but everything from the food and I tried a few items to the customer service was on point. Definitely going to need to frequent once a week as the food is delightful. Keep up the AMAZINGLY AWESOME AND GREAT WORK!

All I have to say is that fried rice with the jerk chicken sauce fired chicken & the coleslaw was absolutely delicious, to die for!!! Thank you so much! I will be back! Gianna

This place is serving amazing food ..you are lucky if you find this place!

Great food, owner friendly 100% garrntee satisfaction. Food was hot and so delicious.

Great food a little expensive compared to others local but quality was great. If going around dinner I suggest calling in ahead long wait time.

Good, authentic food. I had the curry chicken and my husband had the curry goat. Both were good. Our meals took a while to prepare which was alright. The decor was a very Bob Marley, marijuana friendly atmosphere so dont be offended. It actually smelled like someone had been smoking earlier lol (btw, neither my husband or I partake but its legal and I say to each his own). We planned on eating inside as we are from outside the area but and found there are only two small tables. We did eat at one. I wasnt expecting bones in my chicken but that is the traditional way of eating. Food is worth going back for. Good menu. Restaurant needs some tlc. Too many items stored in the open. A small partition or curtain may hide the messy look. Definitely go and try it out. You wont be disappointed with the food. Great take out spot! Vegetarian options: Vegetsrian options available Parking: Difficult to find parking around the building but we found parking on the side street.

Hands down my new favorite restaurant in Brantford. Food is delicious, and they deliver. Lets support local!

Really good, tasty chicken Roti!

Very friendly and great food. Thanks

Excellent food. If you go, try the oxtail. Best in town.

Best Jamaican food in Brantford. Fresh to order provisions. Love this spot

First time here & had the curry goat. Colin treated me to the best Jamaican food Ive had in 20 years. Definitely eating here more often & you should too !!

Very authentic Jamaican food!!! Was very much enjoyed!!

I was feeling hungry, and wanted to try something new, so decided to stop in. The chef came in from around the back, and washed his hands for what seemed like eternity, but very clean. He made my order, which was the most amazing ox tail I ve ever had, along with lots of tasty rice, and the most amazing coleslaw I ve ever had. This would have been amazing experience on its own, but then we struck up in food conversation, and Collin feed me a few samples from the menu, along with showing me just how fresh his ingredients are. Down to how he, himself ground up the spices. If you ever have a chance, and some time (the food came quick, the conversation has me glued to the seat for an hour and a half), stop in here and try Colin s amazing cuisine. You ll love it. I promise you that.

Great customer service

I come here weekly for the soups and stew chicken,, it s my favourite place to eat in town, everything is made fresh and never disappoints!!

Best Jamaican spot Ive had in a long time and that includes spots from the GTA! The food was FRESH AND WHEN I SAY FRESH YOU CAN TELL COLIN PUT HIS ALL INTO HIS FOOD! 10/10 would go back and recommend to anyone looking for the real deal island cuisine. FORGET THE FAST FOOD CHAINS , Fried chicken and even Jerk chicken out here!

My son loves the Jamaican Patties. Delicious. Friendly staff.

Great Jamaican spot. The man behind the counter was very inviting and took such care with preparing my order. The food was great and the place had a friendly atmosphere. I will be back again for sure.

I am new in town and wanted to find a West Indian food place...this is without a doubt the best oxtail I have ever had...will definitely be back.

Authentic Jamaican food. You can taste the love put into it. The patties the kingfish.... everything is full of flavour and I highly recommend going here.

whent in the other day to give it a try and i got everything on the menu to give it a try everything was incredible freshly made per order and the jerk sauce was amazing snapper was incredible the chicken was moist and not dry at all goat was perfect oxtail was amazing everything was great tasting and fresh highly recomend hard to find good food places this place is a must try and prices are great value also

Amazing! If you are looking for authentic Jamaican food prepared fresh with passion this is the place for you! Jerk sauce is to die for, all ingredients are fresh - could not recommend more

Best oxtail with gravy, rice and coleslaw. Colin the owner greeted me , described his food answered my many questions. While I ate, many folks came in for oxtail, or jerk chicken, a regulars favorite. If you get to Brantford on Market Street check the place out. Awesome

Ate here when they opened it was amazing. Returned in recent weeks had brown stew chicken my rice and peas was made with minute rice!!!! n very small portion of meat for price Not sure what happened hope it goes back to how it was two years ago. Kid-friendliness: Friendly owner family owned

I cant say enough about the customer care or the quality of food provided by Irie Grill in Brantford! Phenomenal authentic cuisine, much of which is prepared in the am and easily available! Less commonly ordered dishes are prepared in a timely and waitablele fashion. Place is kept clean at all times and always has the inviting aromas of a big family home kitchen! Superb Chef! Superb quality meals! Superb prices! I enjoy dining in the most but have taken out and They do deliver as well as take large specialty pre orders to meet the needs of their customers. Thanks so much Irie Grill! We love you!

Great food. Friendly service. I will go back all day long. These are the kinds of places where the real food comes from.

We ordered lunch and it was fantastic. I had the goat curry and my friends had the jerk chicken. Portions are excellent and the flavour, even better. I will order from here again soon.

Excellent food, great vegetarian options, will order from here regularly

Always delicious and fresh !!!

Loved the food! Everything we ordered was delicious and the portions were large. Very reasonably priced and friendly service!

Best fish dinner!!! I can honestly say that Irie grill meals are so flavorful and truly authentic. Its the real deal. It reminds me of being in Jamaica.

Friendly service, tasty food.

Amazing Delicious Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Great service, very friendly staff. SO GOOD I got 2 meals plus a soup and Im hiding my leftovers from my boyfriend. lol Food is good enough to end a relationship over Thank you

Ordered twice for my family and amazing food with amazing service.Thank you!

DELICIOUS! And the owner is legit friendly. Other reviews are ridiculous. Totally worth the five minute walk from downtown or the Via Rail Station.

Great prices, fresh food always made to requests of preference.. my go to is the jerk chicken with extra coleslaw.. It never disappoints.. but there are many different kinds of chicken to order with the rice to please anyones taste!!

Real home cooking. Give thanks to the chef and to all those who work in that kitchen to bring back kindness before profit

I called several times this evening no one wanted to pick up the phone.. I wont order from this place now thanks

First time here. The food is delicious the service is friendly. Wish I has eaten here sooner!

Alway great food and service. Always enjoy talking with Chef Colin. Everything I have eaten off the menu has been delicious.

Very good food.. very polite owner will be back for sure.

Ask for the Macaroni Pie, its so good!

Stopped in for a takeout chicken roti fantastic service, and excellent roti. Super clean restaurant. I will be back for sure. Call ahead if you want something special on the menu.

The Irie Grill has great food & great customer service. Had the Curry Goat & Rice meal with a mango drink, it was really good!

Awesome flavours, love the medicine spices of the Jerk Chicken. The proprietor is really friendly and likes to share the story of his food. Well return for sure. If you havent tried it, you must.

This has to be the BEST Caribbean food Ive ever had! We had an amazing lunch, and chatted with the owner. Its clear that he puts his passion into his cooking, and this is comfort food! Will be back many, many times!

Very nice owner who takes great pride in making everything he sells from scratch and growing his own herbs and spices which he uses in his restaurant.

Love chicken roti so much. First time trying Irie Grill and most likely the last. Not only was there little chicken bones threw my roti but there was more chick peas then chicken and the chicken I did have looked like fat or chicken skin that was not cooked. I usually go to Broasters chicken and have to say you get way more actual chicken and potatoes and no chick peas. Was very disappointed with my meal.

Amazing food great prices and the owner is cool as hell overall a must try especially when they make authentic curry thats not overpowering

We found this place by searching for jamaican food. Little did we know this is the best food around. Chef Colin was very down to earth and welcoming. Food is off the hook! Best food we have had. We had king fish, fried chicken and beef patties. We will make the drive again just to eat here. We live in London.

Great vegan chickpea and potato curry wrapped in a roti. Portion was very big. I really liked their rice and coleslaw as well. The chef was very friendly and accommodating! I definitely recommend this place!

Good food, good price.

The owner isnt very friendly, doesnt even look you in the eye. I ordered a large oxtail for $18 and its mostly rice and peas. Good flavor but definitely not worth the money. Im not sure about returning to try anything else.

Great food and great service, you should definitely check them out!

Great taste, spicy but not too hot, love your goat curry dinner, good price for a home-cooked meal

Nice family geared owned carib restaurant

Good music good soup for lunch

Jerk chicken roti was fantastic. Food is ready to go or made to order by friendly staff. Real home cooking try this hidden gem.

Home cooking by good people with mad-cooking skills. Real food. Welcoming environment. Fair priced menu with awesome selection. Go here when you are in Brantford Ontario!

Best jamaican food Ive eaten since being in Jamaica. Very authentic jamaicflavour. Wowed my palette. No sign out front. No fancy lights. Just a sandwich board with part of there menu on it. My go to place for a topical cuisine. Another one if Brantfords little secrets.

If you are into Caribbean food give this place a try

Good place to eat

Almost always empty. Have most classic Jamaican dishes but wouldnt be my top place to go grab some Jamaican.. however with limited choices here in Brantford I suppose we should just be thankful we have the flavors of Kingston. Market St at Marlborough - kitty corner to The Alexandra Bar and Hotel.

Some of the best food I ve had, owner is super friendly and we ve had great conversations each time I ve been

Its an ok place for brantford I found it too greasy for me, the guy who served me though hes very nice good conversation

It was good and spicy!!

Great food and atmosphere! I had the fried chicken lunch special and it was excellent and the portion was just the right amount. The owner/chef was super friendly and you can tell he is very passionate about his work. Cant believe I waited this long to try this place out. Best Carribean food in town!

I ordered chicken dinner for 11.00 dollars, the quantity was huge, came on rice and pea also comes with a side of coleslaw, I got a dumpling as well Over all it was pretty good , the person who answered the phone was very polite and helpful Now my man making all the good food is an awesome dude, we chatted for a bit a very friendly and welcoming person, I didn t get his name this time but he is the owner. Our city has a very limited options for any ethnic food so having this places open up in Brantford is awesome Side note: it s cash only for now $ Cheers

Collin the cook with his thick jamacian accent is very personable its a small joint with good to great food I think he is still at this moment cash only transactions no debit yet otherwise stop in and grab a bite and enjoy.

Great lil place! Super friendly owners and great food! Jerk chicken was cooked perfectly very juicy and tender with lots of flavour, I will be back forsure so glad to see a Caribbean style restaurant in Brantford!
