How is this $15????? There are 7 wings in this serving, and I have been charged $15, making it $2 per wing. When I called the restaurant to confirm that this was indeed the portion size, they mentioned that this was all instructed from HQ, and they reduced the portions from nine pieces to seven pieces.
I come here once or twice a week. I find the portions are always good except for one girl who works there. Normally I get 2 pieces of chicken on my sandwich from everyone else. She always gives 1 piece. I will no longer come in when I see her working. Should there not be regular standards for portions for everyone?? Please make sure all your employees are on the same page.
This rating is just for the fries, they keep experimenting with the type of fries and the seasoning and the current result is trash. The customer service is good, restaurant is nice and clean, but don’t waste your money on the fries if you’re looking for spicy fries or even seasoned fries. Over the last year or so they’ve gone from regular fries with a jerk seasoning that was “fire”and had a spicy flavour to versions of regular fries with versions of less spicy seasoning. The seasoning would stick to the regular fries because it was a fine seasoning. Now they’re using a breaded fries with a seasoning that is sugar based and because it’s coarser in texture it doesn’t stick to the fries. The breaded seasoning just tastes heavy and greasy. Bring back the fries you started with.
Scotty Bons Caribbean Grill is a gem! If you’re looking to dive into Caribbean flavors in a casual, welcoming setting, this is the place. They’ve truly made Caribbean cuisine accessible and enjoyable for everyone, no matter your background or palate. Their menu strikes the perfect balance—classic, authentic flavors with a modern twist. The jerk chicken is spot-on, the toppings let you customize every bite. And the plantains? Perfectly sweet citrusy flavour!
I would NEVER go back to this place. As someone who has purchased meals here before they will NEVER see my face again. I was outside the building and my THREE year old toddler wanted to pee, I went in and asked if my THREE YEAR OLD TODDLER could quickly pee and ALL three staff members told me NO, only if I was buying something, they told me that I should ask somewhere else. As a mother this was very heartbreaking, absolutely no empathy, no consideration. Luckily the employees at another restaurant on that same building was kind enough to allow my baby to use the restroom. They were very accommodating and understanding.
Went in for quick grabs and was so happy we did. Limited seating, just a couple of bar stools along the wall by the window. The store was clean and staff was friendly. They had a promotion for sandwich and drink under $10.00 Tried the Jerk chicken, typically I am not a fan but this was delicious, there as a Smokey flavour to the chicken, paired with sides it was a tasty, the portions were generous too. Secondly, had the bbq chicken sandwich, the only comment was that I wish they added more slaw. This was tasty as well. Third, a friend of mine got the vegetarian roti, the portion was large, the curry was flavourful. Now the star had to be the patty in my opinion, you could tell it was fresh, the filling inside was seasoned so well. Overall, this particular cuisine isn’t my go to but now that I have tasted the food at this place, I’m sort of sad that there isn’t one closer to home. I have been craving that patty! 10/10
The food is delicious and flavourful. I am always skeptical about chain restaurants for cultural food, but I have to admit that even their pepper sauce is something straight out of mom's fridge after sitting for a few months 😅. In all seriousness I've had the sandwiches and the plates. If you're really hungry - get the plate. BBQ chicken, Jerk Chicken, and Curry anything is all bless! This is not really a spot to eat at, but definitely a great take-out option. Get d ting dem and enjoy it! 😀
Definitely not an authentic Caribbean restaurant. I ordered the jerk chicken bowl, it was okay nothing shocking. It tasted baked. The sides at this restaurant and the things you can put in the bowl/roti do not go with Caribbean dishes. It’s like a copy of chipotle but this style doesn’t go well with Caribbean food. Also ordered the curry goat. It was a mockery. It was mushy and did not taste anything decent. And I noticed none of the workers at any of the locations are Caribbean or black. Stop marketing to Caribbean culture/ food if you can’t make it right or hire our people in your restaurant!
Great tasting food, so much flavour! The bbq chicken poutine is so delicious, my fav! Only issue is that it always arrives cold. Food : 5/5
Great food.
I always get their jerk chicken bowl at a bogo offer on dash. Some days their quantity is inconsistent, especially with the chicken portion. But over all the jerk chicken is amazon Food : 4/5
Second time we catered with them, and each time has been exceeded in all categories.
I mean it s not poison, it s edible, but it s also not good, toughest chewiest oxtail I ve ever had doused in a watered down what has to be powdered gravy or bbq sauce, there is nothing authentic about this, I ve been eating oxtail for 27 years and this is definitely the worst. You guys need to get some Jamaican people in there cooking or just close down cause although the portion size is fair for the price you do not know what you re doing, this is sad, I m in shock at how bland and tough it was.. hope you guys take this and fix your issues, the photos of the location look very nice and it looks clean but the food was not great.
Good
I ordered a Curried Goat meal using the uber eats app. The meat I received was not goat meat, it taste and look like beef. Please do not label your dishes as curry goat if you cannot offer sn authentic Jamaican meal. Selling other meat kond and charging for goat meat is called false advertisement. Just to note I am Jamaican and I can recognize goat meat with my eyes closed. Rice and Peas and plaintain was good.
I recently ordered lunch for my workplace for our end of year celebration from scottybon, and from start to finish, it was seamless. The online ordering system was user-friendly, and the menu was packed with enticing options. Each dish arrived perfectly packaged, hot, and beautifully presented a sign of the care they put into every order. What truly impressed me, however, was the extraordinary customer service from William the manager. Shortly after placing my order, I received a call from him to confirm a special request I had made regarding dietary preferences. William s attention to detail and willingness to accommodate made me feel valued as a customer. William went out of his way to call me and triple checked to ensure my order was correct. When the food arrived everything was packed and very well organized. He was very generous with the portions and the quality of food was better than I excepted. The quality and quantity of food surprised me, as other places are cutting back on their portion but not at this scottybon s location. It didn t stop there. The manager took the time to call me to ask about my experience with scottybon and if I was satisfied with the service and food. That level of care and thoughtfulness is something you rarely see, especially in the takeout industry. I highly recommend scottybon to anyone looking for an exceptional takeout experience. A huge thank you to the manager William and the entire team for their hard work and dedication. You ve gained a loyal customer, and I can t wait to order again soon!
We use them for catering: Fresh,fast,good,cheap Half a tray of rice 30 pieces of chicken 8 inch bowl of coleslaw $107.00
Cant even rate the food, the staff dont know how many pieces of chicken are in the lunch combo so why would I order it. Is it a drumstick? Is it a thigh ? Multiple pieces ? Like please you should know this
First time there. BBQ sandwich was good. Staff was wonderful and the decor was nice. Worth another visit
best chicken i ve had in my entire life, customer service is amazing staff are so nice !!
My first time trying Scottybons. Great customer service. Reasonable prices and AMAZING tasting food. Great atmosphere and clean facility.
Unrespectful staff, if you need to use the washroom, its not allowed.
I was uber pickup driver there & at night i asked the male employee there for using the washroom & he said its only for customers & he was very rude also .
BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE: Disappointing customer service experience. The staff member who took my order was very rude. I recommend providing better training to ensure a more positive and professional interaction with customers.
Great food, great service and clean store
Very good food
Food is great & staffs are all friendly.
Awesome place
Amazing experience, must visit
Will not be our last visit! Excellent food and great value. Portion sizes are excellent. Food was full of flavour! Absolutely loved it. Service was great as well. Will definitely be going back.
One of the best food in our area . People over their are very nice and very clean store .
Best food, great prices, amazing taste. Portions are decent. You can get extra portions for a reasonable price. Overall, still a 5 star rating.
Love their jerk chicken bowl. Chicken is always tender, spicy, flavorful !
Clean place , was honestly looking for some good Jamaican food but this place ruined our appetite. Do not come here if you want authentic Jamaican food because their food taste so bland and it wasn t fresh.
Super shinny super clean attitude from the ladys to match a queen beautiful location beautiful people Amazing food The porations was great and foood tasted Fresh! Will differently be coming back from more..
5 star service and food from Smith. Highly recommended!
Amazing service provided by Mr.Smith. The food tasted delicious! Highly recommend this place!
New location! Perfect as always ! Their wings is just wow Fist time tried the chicken bowl and it was amazing! Just be careful when you adding the toppings and souse so it s not too spicy for you
If you are looking for authenticity don t come here.
This was my first time trying their food, and I loved it. Its a must-try.
My jerk wings are super burnt. I was looking forward to eating these.
Excellent Carribean food & quick service
The oxtail bowl 10/10 good
Amazing customer service and delicious quazine! I stopped by here again because the quazine was so amazing. But, this time, I had another employee served me today since the previous employee was off today. Moreover, the employee that served I and the family did an amazing job in terms of the portion size. Youre definitely getting your moneys worth, thanks Gurpreet for the amazing customer service.
Asked for a Roti, and it was more of a bowl than a wrap, but after eating half i realized i enjoyed it as a dinner with a fork as much as i would a handheld... next time im out this way ill stop again
Unfortunately my experience was not good, it s bad food. Dry or uncooked rice and beans.and jerk chicken with full of oil.
Gavind is amazing
My organization did catering for our events two years in a row with this location. It has always been seamless. The manager is great in customer service and is great at communicating and delivering our needs. What was spent was well worth it.
A sorry attempt to hipsterize carribbean food. Cmon guys, I can taste that cheap grocery store Grace sauce on that boneless, baked jerk chicken of yours. How did this place get so many good reviews?
Chicken was rubbery and disgusting. I wouldn t ever order this again
Amazing food even better service
Order taker was very friendly and helpful and smiley . Cashier was nice
The patties (soft ones from the commissary) are the absolute best in the city. You could put apple filling in that delicious pastry and it would win awards! So good
ever since i found out about ScottyBons, I ve never eaten from Popeyes or any other fast food restaurants. This restaurant provides the most tastiest meals at incredibly low prices. If you haven t eaten here yet I highly suggest you try anything on the menu. You will not regret it.
great place employee is great customer service what you need to fill your stomach
I love this place! I go here at least once a week and have never been disappointed so I figured I d leave a review. The place is always spic and span, it s got a great vibe, the employees are always super helpful, nice and fast, and most importantly, the jerk chicken is out of this world. Highly recommend!
I like the sandwiches for sure
Get service food is always great plus the woman was really pretty
Best food center
This place serves delicious food and they are always happy to see you. Come on in and try and enjoy the food and the experience.
Always love Scotty bons and such nice workers
Food and portions were good at first,after portions and quality was not before.
The service was great! Food was amazing and atmosphere was clean. Would reccomend
This place was recommended by a friend so I thought to stop by and grab a beef patty. The pieces were warm and sumptuous. I also loved the atmosphere of the restaurant, large walk in area and a few stools. Food
Don t be fooled. They get people to write 5 star reviews for a free drink. I went in and had ordered enough food for them not to be stingy but the girl at the front serving would act like she s putting ingredients in my food but also just take them back out. The bowls also aren t filled like they use to be. Then you re surprised to see you aren t tipped? I asked for a bit more corn and she threw 4 pieces of corn in while taking the rest back to the ingredient bin. Also, told me she d have to charge me $1 if I wanted more after I called her out. So pathetic! I spent close to $50 within 5 minutes and you couldn t add corn!? What a joke. How can you keep a customer base if you re going to serve us like we re fools. Little corn isn t going to make or break you when you don t even fill up the bowls anymore. This left such a bad taste in my mouth for this establishment. I ve been going to many Scotty bons locations from Scarborough to Toronto to even the Brampton one. But definitely the worst! Do better. Or train your employees. At the time I came in there was a gentleman and two women working.
Great service and food
I love this place, curry chicken is amazing! It s like a chipotle but Caribbean and even better! Also 100% Halal
so yummy
Hands down my favorite location!! The staff are ultra friendly and they really know how to load up each dish/roti. As per usual, Scotty Bons never lacks in flavor, flare and taste and this location is no different!
A lot of parking lots in front. Good food Good price Friendly staff A good place to enjoy Caribbean take out food
this restaurant is nothing. Caribbean, no black or caribean people working there, and they dont use authentic spices from the caribean. They will never go back (extreme culture appropriation)
Came here Saturday near closing. Food tasted bland and gave me the runs. The two workers preparing the food cracking jokes in another language (Indian) while serving customers. Never coming back
Good service by smith
Amazing place, Smith was kind and helped us out to choose what we need. Great food
The best jerk chicken in toronto..
Food is alright, prices and portions are good. But EEEEEEVERY TIME i order the veggie curry the potatoes are ALWAYS RAW. crunchy and hard. Like, every single time.
Good food
Amazing food at a very affordable price. My favourite go to is the 2 sandwich deal. Highly recommended!
I like Scotty Bons. I know people say it isnt real Carribean food and I get it, but I still like it. I like the fusion. I get the chicken curry bowl and my husband gets the jerk chicken bowl. Has great portions and pretty much always good.
Meat was not thoroughly cooked. This was not only nasty but also a safety concern. It was also quite slimey. The pattys are usually over cooked or burnt as well. When the first opened it was pretty good. Now they have fallen off.
I ordered on Uber eats and I was happy to see how big the portion was. Delicious meal!
Loved the oxtail bowl. It s customizable with different sides/toppings
Portions are extremely small now, they used to give you food that made sense for the price. Now it doesnt at all. I stopped going. Place is pretty dead now too, so I think folks in the area realized they started skimping out on portions as well.
Its HALAL!!! The service is excellent with a smile! The food is very delicious! The restaurant is clean. Cant wait to try more menu items!!
Amazing food fast service
It s cool
Generous portions and tasty food.
I ve been coming to this Scotty Bons for the past 2 years as this location is a convenient pit stop on my way home from work. Normally, I ve gotten two toppings on my bowl and when I ve asked for extra they ve provided it without an additional charge, as they typically gave 4 toppings per bowl. Today they told me that it is company policy to charge for extra toppings. But charging $1 for a small sauce container equivalent is definitely not worth the price! It s a shame that their quality has gone downhill, because I really enjoyed the consistency of Scotty s. I can t justify continuing to support this business after they ve changed their spicy hot sauce and got rid of the jalapeños to replace them with the Scotty pickle, which is never the freshest :(!
This IS NOT Caribbean food . They have Caribbean items but don t disgrace our islands with this mess. Fool those other people if you want to but authentic Caribbeans know this ain t it and will never be.
Great tasting food and very helpful employees. The store is also nice and clean I fw the vibe
Great tasting food and very helpful employees, the store is very nice !
One of my favourite take out restaurants in Toronto. Love the jerk chicken bowls and the variety of flavourful toppings they offer. Only complaint is that they need to open more locations closer to me!
Shivani was a great help when we ordered. Explained everything and the food was so so flavourful.
Awesome vibe, great food. Shivangi is always a pleasure to see
Check out the vegetarian options.
1st time here. Had the Oxtail Bowl, I absolutely loved it!! Flavor explosion in my mouth. Highly recommend this place.
We ordered jerk chicken and oxtail, jerk chicken is flavorfull but the oxtail is not tender enough and bland taste.
Always enjoy food from here.
Disappointing experience at this restaurant The service was subpar, noticed a decrease in portion sizes and when asked to add something a little more.. she said there s an additional charge for every request. Overall, not worth the inconvenience and additional charges.
Amazing food great service
The food here is always amazing I always get the bbq chicken sandwich Highly recommend Food : 5/5
This place is amazing and the most delicious place I ve ever been. Will come back again!!
Dont buy the pattys, theyre frozen grocery store pattys. They used to have homemade fresh pattys. Now they only sell 1 dollar pattys for 4 bucks and dont care about their quality anymore.
Phenomenal oxtail. Tender and flavorful. Huge portion all for 19$ all in. Had more than enough for 2 meals and it was delicious. 10/10 will eat again. Food : 5/5 |
Cleaned restaurant I have ever seen...the kitchen, floor n everything was nice n tidy. Food n staff are 10/10 Will visit again for sure. Price is best for quality of food.
I just bought a patty and coco bread Im 75% through this thing and Ive only had 1 bite with meat.
Love the jerk wings!
This place has some good ahh eats
I tried the jerk chicken bowl with rice and peas and LOVED it. The portions are massive and can easily be shared amongst two people.
Been here several times and the food is always good. I d suggest avoiding the corn because it has pineapple in it and it s very unexpected if you re just expecting corn - overly sweet. Otherwise the bowls are really good in particular. Staff is always chill and friendly.
Great spot
Picked up a delicious chicken bowl to bring home. Venue was bright and clean, portions were generous, and the taste was great! Did not find the items to be too greasy or heavy/creamy (eg coleslaw was just right). Enjoyed our meals from here, and I can enjoy the leftovers today!
Ordered a sandwich. Was ok but not quite the same as their outstanding Bloor location. Portion and toppings were a bit smaller and there are no lunch specials. Better than most but with so much competition in the area, not sure if it s worth the premium pricing.
Giving a 3 because when we order in, we get exactly what we want in terms of toppings, sauces, etc. This is our second time getting it delivered and my husband loves the jerk poutine. HOWEVER, there s always hardly any gravy.. I m not sure if it s because it is being delivered.. but atleast put it in a separate container then.
I usually order in and never really have any issues until today.. i ordered a meal and who ever fixed it added on some stuff that i dont eat.. and i had to throw a good bit of it away.. very disappointing bc i was hungry and it ruined the taste that i personally preferred and agreed to pay for.. please for Gods sake give the correct order.. because we expect what we agreed to pay for things a bit too expensive to be playing with peoples food or money.. simply all i ask..
Not authentic at all good service tho
Love the sandwhich jerk chicken and jerk shrimp
My third experience from ordering at this location. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere, however food is not on point. On all 3 separate visits I found the meat portions served cold and difficult to eat. I have had food at the other locations and found out much better, bloor location is easily the best.
Been here many times before but now the portions have been reduced and chicken tasteless. Used to be a good portion (2-2.5 pieces chicken) now it s one tiny piece of bland chicken in the sandwhich for $8. Avoid.
The food was great and very clean!
Vegetarian options: they have choices for vegetarians Dietary restrictions: healthy choices Food : 5/5 |
Great jerk chicken
Great food. Clean place.
Delicious! As soon as you walk in the smell speaks for itself
Nice food
Portions are great, food is really fresh and good. Staff is friendly and eager to help.
So good I forgot to take a picture!
Tuff
Amazing food. Best jerk chicken I ever had. Very reasonable pricing and lovely ambiance!
Wow, what a wonderful place. We were a group of 8, ordered variety and everything was good. Clean place, friendly staff, very reasonable prices . Will return for more whenever I visit Toronto again. A Must Try for foodies! Food : 5/5
Great Food!
great food
All locations are great. Very consistent and not at all cheap on portions. $7 for amazing sandwiches, and the bowls are basically two meals. I go once a week since hearing about it
Amazing hopefully they open more locations in the GTA
Amazing food and service
Food didnt taste at all like jerk chicken. It wasnt awful, but certainly didnt feel authentic. The spice and flavour were way off, and the attempt to make the dishes feel more American fell flat.
Great Food, great staff great service!
Great staff, quick service and delicious food
Very clean , affordable prices ,and delicious food and the portions are huge. I couldn t even finish my bowl
Really delicious Caribbean food here. I like how the food is fused with some western elements - my favorite is the jerk chicken poutine. Recommend this.
The best Carribean food in the area!
Food quality is amazing and friendly service
This place serves a great Caribbean food and the jerk chicken which is unbeatable in the town. Highly recommend for any jerk chicken lovers.
Very tasty my expectations were low judging by the reviews will order again in the future
Not a lot of place to sit here but the staff here is above and beyond. There was a power cut in the building and payment terminals were down and we only had limited cash on us. The manager went above and beyond to ensure that we got everything we came in for and served us with a smile. The food here is also exceptionally good with well cooked and seasoned jerk chicken everytime I go. Very consistent.
Food was great! Service was great! First time there, will definitely be returning with friends. Keep up the great work guys!
Good spot for your pockets. Great food and many customizable. Only lacks authenticity but still better than many places
Love the food. Affordable and good portions with nice flavours.
I was greeted with smiles from the moment I walked into the store, the workers were all so kind and helpful. I would definitely be coming back.
Ordered through uber eats. Overall, I enjoyed the meal. Pros: I ordered the jerk chicken bowl and it was a good portion. The rice tastes of coconut milk with a bit of sugar in there, which is good in my books. The toppings are great. They need to improve on 1. the temperature of the food (mine did not arrive hot or even warm); 2. jerk chicken needs work because it tastes like plain baked chicken. In conclusion I would eat here again but I would try another dish. If you want real jerk chicken this isn t the best place but you can get a hearty meal. Edit: hot sauce has good spice level if you like a little fire on the tongue
Just ordered on Uber eats and it was AMAZING. great food great presentation and delivered with a coupon for $10.00 off. Do yourself a favor and try everything, its all perfect!!
Parneet truly gave me a great experience. She was extremely friendly, attentive, and gave generous portions (in comparison to other locations i ve visited). Her exceptional customer service skills and good attitude is definitely a reason why i ll be coming back! The food was also good (as per usual).
The food was amazing
I love Scotty Bons!! I got a patty and a friend got a sandwich!!! Love this place.
Tried the Jerk Chicken sandwich. Beautifully paired with refreshing cole slaw. Not sure why they have cheese as an option. Many sauces are great, however the coco flap absorbs the sauces too fast making the inside a bit soft and soggy if not eaten immediately. Awesome that they have a grill press to give the outside of the coco bread a bit of crunch. Would suggest grabbing the plate or a sandwich for a quick bite. Under $8 before taxes is unheard of nowadays. What a great find - a place for a quick, refreshing Jamaican-inspired fast food sandwich. Quality and taste for a great price.
Got the bbq chicken bowl and it was pretty good! I ve also tried their jerk chicken sandwiches which I really love though!!! Definitely recommend trying those.
The jerk wings tasted as burnt as they looked. I wouldn t bother getting this again
Love Scotty Bons!
Amazing staff super friendly and a nice vibe to sit and eat would reccomend t all
My go to place when craving chicken, the food will satisfy you recommended it to anyone who loves jerk chicken
Surprisingly very very good. Decent value considering the inflationary time we live in... Recommend trying. Food : 5/5
Amazing food, amazing customer service
Very nice people! Great food!
Amazing
Great food!
Some of the best Caribbean food in the city ! Amazing flavour and great portion for the price ! Workers are always happy, food is always great ! Recommended dishes
This place went downhill since it opened. I know food prices went up but very stingy with the portions. Especially spending $14.95 for a bowl. I remember when Scottys first open they filled the bowls nicely now they give half portions even when u ask for more rice they give a small scoop and spread to make the bottom looked covered. I ordered 4 bowls and the serving size in all 4 was very small no rice at all
I always get the most amazing dishes. This place always serves fresh food and has great and friendly staff. Ashim is very helpful. Definitely will be returning.
Only tried this place through delivery, however, the food always seems to have fresh ingredients. Jerk chicken for me is the highlight. If youre looking for a good Caribbean inspired food, this place is definitely worth a try.
The jerk chicken sandwich is a must try here. Large portion, great price, and speedy service make this a very good choice for lunch or dinner :)
Just soo good.
Excellent food, the heat is a slow building heat with great flavor. Apparently a hit with the local fire department too, a whole crew stopped in for dinner.
Very high quality Caribbean food. Similar go Roywoods but with more variety in sides and condiments. The dining space at this location is extremely tidy and sparkling. I tried the oxtail and it was excellent. Fall off the bone meat, deep and rich gravy, and flavourful. Highly recommended. Would like to try the legendary poutine. Vegetarian options: A few entrees and condiments are vegan. Parking: Lots of street side parking adjacent to the restaurant
Good food n stuff
Awesome place will come again Vegetarian options: Halal Food : 5/5 |
This place was phenomenal. I also don t like bones in my chicken when I m eating a bowl and their chicken was boneless. Perfect combination and perfect taste. Will be coming here more often.
My go to place for jamaican food
Perfect portion. Tastes great. Thank you very much for being halal!!!
