Big G’s 241 Jerk Chicken in Etobicoke

Served me dry chicken and tasted a little spoiled. I am convinced it was old chicken!

Please stop adding bbq sauce to the fries when adding the sauce onto the wings. I asked for bbq wings not bbq fries and wings. Got a 4 wings and fries order &: the fries came drenched in sauce! Cant even eat them. Atleast add the sauce to the wings in a seperate container so it doesnt get all over the fries. Also, the wings seemed like they were refried smh.

YUM..... so good. Just discovered them on Thanksgiving and going back tommorow, So happy I found this delicious Jerk Chicken.... if you don;t like it too spicy.....this is perfection. Wheelchair accessibility: easy access

You guys should really update your self properly. You only open 11am why is it then written on Google maps that you open before then. Totally wasted my time driving all the way here to see it closed

Jerk chicken portion was decent, price was right, taste was delicious :)

This is ridiculous, bought a plate of oxtail and it s nothing but bones, coleslaw smells funky ontop of that. 4.4 stars for what? Won t be coming back here. Go somewhere else for lunch/dinner.

Jerk Pork was delicious!

Their curry goat is really good...a great place to pick up your lunch or dinner.

Got the jerk chicken . Service was great for carribean take out. The food is good my complaint is that jerk should be hot and this is not.

best place ever

I got the fish sniper.and it was over fried and dry. Not happy with it. Wont go back there.

I ordered the fried chicken it was so dry and hard to chew I couldnt eat it all had to throw the rest out, it was not good at all

Food was very good! Portion is generous!

Ordered fried chicken wings and jerk chicken. Although the service was decent, the chicken wings tasted like rotten meat, I had to throw it out. Jerk chicken was bland. I will never buy from here again for serving rotten meat.

Amazing jerk, best one in the area

Jerk pork was great!

Ive personally have been going here since the middle school days and they always had great deals and authentic styles of cooking that bring me back every time. Customer service is a 10 out of 10 just because they always treat every customer the same and that is with love.

Good portion of jerk chicken .. Taste very good ...

Good people Good food Food

SIMPLY THE BEST!!!! Curry goat tek off!! cow foot soup! di best!! nice people, genuine and caring.

Always amazing after all These years. Consistently good Food : 5/5

Great food and service is amazing. Trudelle is a wonderful warm person and better cook! 10 stars!!

This place was great, we ordered a few trays of rice and jerk chicken for our holiday party and they delivered on their promise. Food was delicious, fresh and well priced. The restaurant threw in a tray of coleslaw and some extras on the side for our front line staff. Our experience was great and we hope to come back in the future!

Live in hamilton but was in the area and craving jerk chicken and tried this place for the first time yesterday and was blown away how amazing it is. I m back again today and definitely worth the drive. The portions are generous, food is so delicious, the staff are super friendly and nice.

The jerk chicken is amazing and tasty. Its a must go

Jerk chicken gave my whole family the runs. Avoid this place.

Big Gs is one of my favourite places to go in the city, theyre kind and wonderful people. The food is definitely blessed, so delicious and so fresh.

Lovely food and workers! One lady is always called aunty and I miss visiting. Gotta visit again soon for more delicious food

Great spot for some jerk ! Definitely not a disappointment, would recommend for sure !

I ordered jerk chicken and oxtail combo, was delicious comfort food. Highly recommended, I ll go back soon.

Superior service and food!! AMAZING BEST IN THE CITY! OUTSTANDING!!!! Extremely compassionate staff!!!!! Food : 5/5

I ordered lunch from here for the first time, fries chicken and chip. I left a instruction to add ketchup and pepper to the order. The fried was dead cold when I got it, and the time the driver picked up to delivery was very short about 5mins. The ketchup and the pepper was not added so the fries were, cold, extra salty and dry. The chicken I must admit was good.

Food was great.. my family & I enjoyed it.

My favourite meal at Big Gs is the half and half chicken. Half Jerk with half fried chicken, rice and peas with oxtail gravy.

Wonderful people wonder and tasty food , just love it .

I ordered a jerk pork dinner, when I got home last night, not a single peice of pork, just pork fat!! Im a regular customer and deserve a refund etc. Not happy!

I went there last Friday. The lady was on the phone with her back against me so she never saw me. One customer was sitting down waiting for his order I guess. Two customers walk in yelling that they were there the same week for food. It was like i wasnt even there I was a ghost. The lady got off the phone and severed them not me. Like i said I was a ghost. People can be so rude!!!!!!! I just walked out. You wont be seeing me there anymore because!!!!!

Great jerk chicken and a good deal. Their 2-4-1 deal is great. The food is very tasty and a large quantity you get. They are all very friendly and explain the menu if you need help. Their prices are very good as well.

Ordered BBQ chicken and white rice the bbq chicken tasted so horrible wasnt even hot the white rice was definitely not made that afternoon. some of it was so hard its they took it out the fridge warmed it in the microwave and it wasnt warmed properly. NEVER AGAIN I VISIT THIS LOCATION

Great place!

The jerk chicken had too much salt,which takes away from the flavor. But overall was decent.

I just moved in the area & needed some cooked food. Big Gs HOOKED me right up !!!! I was craving plantain too, they didnt leave me short. Food taste so great. Most definitely will order here again !!!!

My husband loves the food here so I wanted to try it out myself. I got the snapper and the ox tail for him. It was really good and generous portions. Also, the lady in the front is super friendly and helpful.

Food was bomb! Good portions. Fire hot sause

The chicken is very questionable, I think public health needs to visit this place and inspect how they store their meats and for how long.

Ordered Jerk chicken - amazing Attentive to detail as ordered on DoorDash. Placing this take-out on rotation, keep it up

The food was great. Excellent customer service.

Their Jerk Chicken meal was fabulous, wasnt crazy spicy that you would have to take a drink of something with every bite. The chicken was tender and moist; not dried out compared to other places Ive eaten, plus everything else was well seasoned too!! Amazing customer service and Id be willing to come back!

First time here . Got the jerk chicken dinners today I hope every time I get the same food. Chicken was nice ,fresh and juicy and moist. Rice and peas were nice too. The oxtail gravy on them went perfect. And the right spice level! Will return again and hopefully exact same food will be served delicious, Thank you! :)

Found this hidden gem near my office workplace today. The jerk chicken is phenomenal - never tasted anything like this before today. Definitely must check this place out if you re a jerk chicken fan!

Best price and great quality, rich and peas is great also

Food here is really delicious. Yes its fatty and unhealthy but once in a while its good to have. Since Im a vegetarian there arent many options for me. So I usually get their poutine or my favorite fries with honey garlic.

Thank you very much

Great food now that I found this place I don t think I ll eat Caribbean food anywhere else

The family staff in this restaurant are soo amazing and welcoming. They give great portions and sizes for your buck with real authentic Caribbean food. The lady at the front welcomed my family and I like we were part of her family. The woman at the front has great energy and is always smiling and laughing. I drive 45 minutes just to go to this restaurant and buy food there. The customer service is impeccable. I recommend anyone looking for a great Caribbean spot to order from there and support this business!

Pictures looks interesting

Amazing food (10/10), even nicer people

Food and service is amazing here. Never have a bad experience when I come here. My favourite is the oxtail and saltfish fritters! Mos def. Recommend this place....one og t the best in Rexdale.. . R

Ok.... Id give this place a 4.5 stars but the stew chicken gets 5 thumbs down! I cook at home; I cook all kinds of foods from different cultures- I know a good stew chicken when I eat one!!. We did take out 2 days ago; ordered large Oxtail, large Jerk chicken and large Stew chicken. The Oxtail and Jerk I give 4.5 stars- the rice and beans (peas) was too dry and not flavorful. The white rice for stew chicken was too clumpy. The stew chicken had an old burnt flavor. No bueno! I really dislike ordering something and it doesnt even come close to what ive ordered! Come on. Especially during this pandemic as a small business you need to be on point. Now, maybe it was a one off- but I am never ordering a stew chicken from here lol. Id order the oxtail and jerk again 100%. The coleslaw was also dry and salt less. Not tasty at all. Great portion sizes- great Oxtail- great jerk and OMG THEIR HOMEMADE BBQ SAUCE IS AMAZING. Id order a bottle. Please fix your stew chicken!

Been going here for years Their KingFish, Rice & Peas never disappoints!!!

Food was ok ..

Not sure why this place gets negative reviews, but the food, service, etc deserves 5 stars. Delicious.

Extremely burnt, No flavor, couldnt eat it at all, we returned it immediately.

its good, i recommend

Good Jerk Chicken!

3/5 Stars. Ive Had Mediocre Experiences At Big Gs. My Most Recent Being An Unpleasant One. Now This Review Is Not Solely Based On My Unpleasant Experience (Which I Will Not Disclose As This Is A Local Family Business Which I Do Support From Time To Time) - If It Was, This Would Be A 1 Star Review. Great Location, Decent Prices, Food Is Okay... Now I Say That With A Bit Of Hesitation Because Big Gs Doesnt Stand Out With Regards To Flavor Or Price. This Authentic Jamaican Cuisine Does Not Wow The Average Foodie. If Your Looking For The Same Flavor And Taste You Get From Your Conventional Jamaican Cuisine - Big Gs Is For You.. Hidden Gems (GTAREVIEWS416) 5 Star Rating System Is Based Solely On The Following - 1 Star - OTC Service 1 Star - Total Cost (HST Included) 1 Star - Taste 1 Star - Portion Size 1 Star - Presentation

Great food, Great service. Red peas soup is amazing. Also , make sure to try their fritters!

Ordered a soup food today. Looked well good until I started to eat it and got to the chicken. Tasted like it was made 4 days ago. Wasnt fresh. All Im saying at least give us fresh fried chicken from the present day.

Excellent customer service. Good price. Large portion. Fast.

Very good, good customer service

I bought fried chicken today fried chicken taste like it fried twice its tough no good very disappointed..

Take out Jamaican restaurant also delivery. A place like home away from home. The food taste moreish! Yes you feel like you want more. Family owned personalized service, you can mix & match your order to your taste. I see customers of all nations there. Try it U will like it.

Real flavour! Authentic and honest cooking. Lovely experience with this restaurant!

Thank you Trudyann. The food was amazing. Great vibes and finger licking oxtail and BBQ chicken. Must try

Good Chicken and nice flavour.

Proper Jerk pork with a solid kick, good rice &peas and they do not skimp out on the protein. 10$ and I m full af. Will 100% return and try everything on the menu.

Awesome owners. New chef needed. I got old food was sick for 2 days

We ordered from DoorDash and were very pleased with our meals!! Great portions, taste and presentation! The bbq/ fried chicken w/ rice n peas combo ($15)was perfect. Delicious wings combo as well! Everything was fresh. We will definitely be back. We love supporting local business

My favorite jerk chicken place EVER. The sauce, the flavour, the meats, the serving of and the SEASONING . My mouth always explodes when I eat here.

Taste less food

Wow ! Where do I start. The food was so tasty. Asked for extra sauce I got that. The portion size was amazing so much food for the large. Fed my boyfriend and I. The service ? The lady was so wonderful I wish I got her name. Think she was the owner. Professional and very sweet. I ll be back for sure.

Discovered this place randomly a couple of months ago and have been going here every weekend since (and its a 40 min drive 1 way for me). I usually get the 241 jerk chicken special but Ive been trying each item on the menu recently. Large oxtail dinner was the one i tried today. Creamy flavourful gravy and everything Ive tried so far has this savoury home cooked meal feeling/flavours to it. They do get busy, specially around dinner time, and would have to line up. Its a small place, but people get served fairly quickly with a friendly service. Id definitely recommend!

Good price and very tasty jerk chicken, good for take out. Small table in store for quick lunch

Delicious!!

Very disappointed. There was nothing jerk about the jerk chicken. It was flavorless. The pepper sauce was good. Coleslaw lacked flavor. The woman at the front counter was friendly and warm, which makes up 2.5 of 3 stars.

I loved the customer service, was polite, efficient, and ready to serve. The food was delicious, the jerk chicken meal had a nice spice, and a unique flavor. I ENJOYED MY MEAL!!!!! Will be back.

We were in the area and stumbled upon this place. The jerk chicken is delicious! Highly recommend!

best.food.ever! the lady at the front was so so so nice and the food was amazing!!!!

Delicious Jerk Chicken!!!

VERY FRIENDLY SERVICE! AWESOME JERK CHICKEN WITH BBQ AND RICE AND PEAS

Ordered through skip. The soup,oxtail,curry goat was amazing. Unfortunately the jerk chicken tasted like stewed chicken. Almost positive the order was incorrect.

I really only come for the oxtail. If cake or some breakfast items are available then I will get that occasionally. I love the service, speed and taste so much I come from and another city 25 minutes away for experience. They also give nice portions. The coleslaw isn t consistent and not my favourite but everything else is so great I am will to ignore that small issue and make the drive down.

Couldn t make up my mind between the jerk chicken and the oxtail. Lady was very nice, good sales woman, got me set up with the combo. Good food, good portions, even got blessed, would come again

Best local Jamaican food you ll find.

Very good! Friendly and portion vs price is good. I will go back.

First time ever going to Big Gs and I must say mamas food is good lol. The staffs friendly and her foods so tasty.. Will go again soon.

Great food, great service

Best Jamaican food. Excellent service.

Amazing fresh food!!!!

Amazing food amazing service

Great jerk chicken, oxtail gravy is killer, get the small, its still a lot. My new favorite.

I ve been coming here for quite a while now and I can say that they really give you your money s worth of food. I can get a large sized fried chicken, rice and peas and won t be able to finish it in one sitting, it s just that much food. The taste is great but it is notably different from other Jamaican restaurants, but the portion size is what keeps me coming back.

Great family run business. Authentic Jamaican restaurant. More importantly, food taste NICCCCE

Big portions and tasty jerk chicken

Coleslaw is not the greatest but that jerk chicken though!! Also, it wouldn t hurt to clean the place a little

Wonderful

Amazing food, prices and customer service Very friendly Fast Plus they play good movies if you have to wait

Small Jamaican restaurant for take-out. They have a counter near the entrance to dine-in if you want. So far we have only gone there for their 2 for 1 special ($12+tax for both meals). Its very good and filling as their portions are generous (mostly rice though). Between their jerk chicken and fried chicken, I like their fried chicken better. Definitely worth giving a try. We always order the chicken with rice and peas + ox tail gravy. Staff are generally nice and welcoming. Overall, a decent restaurant for Jamaican.

Best Jerk Chicken and Fried Chicken I have had!! From the moment you enter the restaurant to the moment you leave, you are welcomed by the nicest Mom behind the counter to take your order. Always with a smile and willing to help you with any questions you have. Even the chefs have smiles on their faces, thats when you know this little family owned Jerk shop is one of a kind. The prices are really good and portion sizes are generous. This is one of the places where the locals know the food hasnt changed since the beginning with cult followings for their famous Fried Chicken. Get the 2 for 1, 1 Jerk Chicken and 1 Fried Chicken, most value for the money. I recommend Big G to everyone! You wont be disappointed! Its worth the drive, trust me!

Friendly staff, good meal... not a bad place to eat in

Best Jamaican Food around, the curry goat and oxtail are top notch! Im a regular customer

Best jerk chicken!

Honestly they are completely fair and have excellent service.

Ordered food from here for my sister s baby shower. Food was amazing for a great price! Can t top their fried chicken. Will probably order again for my Wedding. Wish they would put a menu online for catering.

Food is amazing very nice friendly staff love to eat there

Delicious oxtail! First time and was amazing. Great portion for a small

Good Caribbean home style meal at affordable pricing.

Was good. Then it spiraled down wards.

Amazing food!!!

One of the better Jamaican restaurant in the west end

Fries are on point here. LIKE FOR REAL

Jerk chicken was amazing. Large portion is unreal, had a full meal later on. Ox-tail gravy is also primo. Wish the coleslaw was creamy but thats all preference. The coleslaw was still very good!

The food is next to your home cooked, you just missed having second.

Great food.

Great service and very nice people

Good tasting food

Tasty food but too much yutes hang out here and dont buy food. They take up the seats and management need to deal with their case

LOVE DA JERK

Jerk chicken or ox tail love it

My friend just brought me some take out from here. Best Jerk food Ive had in a long long time. Would highly recommend.

My favourite Jamaican joint in North Etobicoke. The bubbly lady at the front has always got good rapport with her customers. She sometimes opens the containers and sends them back if the kitchen chintzes on the portion. Great oxtail, fried chickien, and bbq chicken.

Good service

It s a quick grab a go place, only about 5-6 stools for seating. I had oxtail, wasn t impressed with it. Colleague had jerk chicken which he said was good which is what most people seem to get here. For those that care the coleslaw is vinegar based.

Love everything about this place, especially the red peas soup, oxtail, curry goat

Always a pleasure coming down here for some awesome food!!! Their fried chicken and jerk chicken is always super yummy and moist! Good job guys!

This place is authentic Jamaican. GOOD food and even better value for dollar. I buy once a month here and it is consistently good.

Horrendous. Ordered a small jerk chicken w/ rice and peas: The rice and peas were passable, but not impressive. The gravy was mostly gelatine which means it was microwaved. They did NOT give me jerk chicken. I m assuming they didn t think I would notice the difference. It was seasoned chicken and some of it was cold. The coleslaw was too dry. The cashier was not friendly at all and had little interest in serving me, however normally I wouldn t mind it at all if the food is exceptional, it is not. The good reviews on here is most likely from family/friends, if you ve never been here and you re craving real Jamaican food, skip this place and don t look back.

Super tender jerk chicken

Great food with great prices. Go lunch or dinner the food tends to be better then. Staff is hit or miss. Sometimes friendly other days they dont pay any attention to you. Once had to wait over 5 mins just to order food when there was no line. Ended up walking out and coming back later. Food and prices are on par with other jamaican restaurants, but they do offer kids sizes and things like wings and fries and other things jamaican restaurants dont normally have. Of the three places to get wings and fries in the mall they have the better wings.

Amazing portions for the price!

Very good customer service. Food was delicious. Great value for price - generous on oxtail gravy. Highly recommended.

Best

Best Jamaican food in town. Ive been buying food for several years now and never disappointed. Food taste good, portions are good. The service is great ( which is rare for caribbean restaurants). I had a function and Big gs catered food, and no complaints. Everyone loved the food and we had enough food for everyone. I always refer friends and family and they continue to buy food here. I highly recommend people come here if they want good food!

The food is SO GOOD!!!! Great service as well!

This is a total gem. The staff was absolutely helpful and friendly. The food was next level amazing.

Really fun environment, and really good food

Amazing !!! Hands down

Good Jamaican food, cant complain. Not the best but definitely tastes good. Prices are reasonable.

Great food

Good food, big portions, amazing ox tail gravy

Excellent food with the authentic Jamaican taste along with friendly staff that caters to your need. This is a must try food location!

Love the food The oxtail is perfect and fried chicken with their own gravy is too much. I cant stop eating it!! Love the family that owns this place! Trudy is always smiling and seems to know everyone who comes in the door. Def recommend.

Best jerk chicken in toronto, BANG for the BUCK

The fried chicken was amazing, friendly staff and tasty food.... veryyyyyy Nice Jamaican cuisine as well.

If someone they know comes after you and you ordered the same thing, the other person would get served first. Dont give kids the right serving sizes that they pay for. Has unfriendly cashiers depending on the day.

Nothing in the area compares to this spot, very tasty food..big up to the cook and the nice counter women.

Good Jamaican food in the Rexdale area. Fried chicken is my go to.

Ok so Im a Jamaican chef myself and I like to give ppl chance not everyone can please me . Let me tell you customer service is amazing and friendly wish all restaurants are like that the lady was very welcoming I order a curry goat mix with oxtail very good but I wish my goat was more spicy but other than that it was yummy and like she said u will eat the bone too lol. Nuff luv

Was amazed! Food and costumer service tun uppppp! Trudy-Ann the cashier treated us so well. I ate food and more food n just wanted to try every dish!!! curry goat, fry chicken, fish soup and sour sop juice. Oh my goodness!!! And the other thing too is that they are believers! It was a blessing visitin for the first time ;)
