Trash place! Can’t believe they are even open the owners are rude as hell and I doubt the food they serve is even safe to eat. Save your money and go anywhere else. If it were possible go give negative stars I would.

The most disorganized ppl I have ever come across, how does your store say it opens at 10am and with the sign outside it clearly shows open with the lights, only for your neighbours to say you open up in the afternoon. So why isn’t it updated on google or why don’t you guys pick your damn calls? Please update your time to noon. I’m so upset I left my house all the way from Pickering only to get there and you guys are closed and the sign outside clearly says open with the light, why? If I could give you a zero star I would.

I, for one, will not give this place a chance looking at the reviews and seeing how it is daily from the outside. Nobody in their right mind wants to go to a place surrounded by drug addicts, dealers, and sketchy people. It's nasty outside garbage, cigarette butt's everywhere, smells horrible, and the people who hang out outside there are very rude. Clean up and maybe I'll give a chance.

First time here after seeing the great reviews and was disappointed by the beef patties. The patty dough/pastry shells were good & flaky, spice was great, but the beef filling tasted dry and lacked flavour. I hate to say this but compared to other places, the beef filling from Patties Express chain taste much better. City Patties service was excellent though!

Best patties in Oshawa!!! City Patties has many different flavours available...This evening the owner made me some shrimp patties fresh on spot , as they had already sold out....I'm not in the area very often so I was sure to buy 2 boxes & I couldn't forget the coco bread & great conversation too!!

Went here today cause I was in the area and looking for something nice to eat, came across city patties Monday August 8th at 1:45pm city patties had 0 patties, zip, Nada. The sign had about 6 patty flavors and none of them available for purchase, I was sooo shocked i said out loud by accident "this is authentic Carribean all right"🤣

Great local Patty shop with friendly owners. They have quite the variety of stuffed patties. I tried 4 different types. Callaloo, Ackee and Saltfish, shrimp and beef, they also threw in a complementary water. Cash only but they have an ATM on site. Now that I discovered this place Ill be visiting often.

Good patties here. Being spoiled working toronto for the past 25 years Ive had some of the best patties that canada has to offer. City patties rivals those. The gentleman behind the counter was polite and to the point. My patties were hot and the price is on the average.

My go to place to grab a quick snack everytime I am at Oshawa, 5 min walk from the Eastbound King/Simcoe bus stop. Honestly, when I come to Oshawa I make it a point to visit them and eat rather savor their patties. Always fresh and hot and amazingly tasty.The hosts are always warm and welcoming. Last time they gave me a discount just cos I was little bit short of cash. They even gave me a juice bottle for free. Thank you City Patties, your one gesture has got you one permanent customer.

Heard the hype on instagram and travelled all the way from Hamilton to try out these Pattie s. ( Ackee patty in particular) Pattie s were hot and tasty fresh to order. They also have beef and chicken Pattie s, but those veggie Pattie s are to die for. You can have it with or without coco bread. The service was fast & friendly. I would definitely drive back and get a whole box next time. 5/5. Would highly recommend.

The patty was dry and bland. The man who served us was rude and acted as if he is doing us a big favour by him serving us. The place attracts drug dealers and hoodlums. There is always a gang of 5 dealers hanging outside. Shut this place down

First of all not even from Randys do I eat patty. Canada hasnt been able to provide me with authentic patties outside of Allens bakery since I was about 12. City patties is the first place I have been able to enjoy an authentic Jamaican patty in over a decade, I wish Id shaken off the fear and tried them out sooner. Only spot in the east kicking it real raw n authentic. I can all get sea moss aswell as other amazingly fresh produce. Anything I need I can typically find here all face masks and rolling papers. Absolutely love this spot with I could give yall 10 stars

Have been looking for a good patty place since growing up in Scarborough waaayy back. Saw this ave while googling. Had some really good reviews so I thought worth a try. I was no disappointed, from the guy behind the counter, to the freshness and taste I will definitely go back.. real soon! And the coco bread was also so fresh, soft, sweet just like I remember! Got one for my friend who thought it was weird to have a party inside a bun. But I think Ive hooked her on them now too! Thank you so much for the amazing patties and coco bread!

Worst patties Ive ever had by far. Filling tasted ok but there was not nearly enough. The patty itself was so uncooked it was almost still raw. Really disappointing, threw most of it out. Got a dozen amazing patties in scarborough for the same price as well...

Great little place and very friendly staff, I went there thinking they had a full menu but the girl said just patties and a lunch special, not sure if its daily but I believe they rotate what the special is. Anyway they run out of food quick so all I could get was beef or chicken patties but I was not disappointed $20 for 8 patties but they are high quality so I didnt mind the price. I will repeat for sure, my only disappointment is the lack of a menu because if the patties and lunch specials sell out like that they are doing something right in the kitchen.

Hidden across from Memorial park is the crown jewel of beef/chicken patties. Delicious does not begin to describe the taste of their flaky pastry patties. Great place to pick up something tasty and enjoy it at the beautiful park across the street... PSSST dont just buy one... You love them so much you will eat three or four at the same sitting.... Out of this world... I highly recommended... City Patties is also a certified business in the INGINO shop downtown INITIATIVE program. Joe Ingino Central Newspaper

Best place to go in Oshawa for thick juicy beef patties & Steam Snapper. Hmm tasty!!

December 22, 2019

Today, I went to City Patties for the first time. I was very excited to find a patty place with such variety. Outside the store, I stopped to read the posted menu. The menu stated they had vegan options. Without further ado I went inside and ordered a calaloo Patty (A vegetable like spinach). After paying $3.25, I mentioned the discrepancy in price advertised outside for $2.50? He proceeded to tell me the price changed, then showed me the price list behind the cashier inside. I then realized on the updated menu ackee was also a choice. So I requested a ackee patty as well. I was feeling pretty good until he mentioned after purchasing, the patties had Saltfish in them. I told him Im vegan and I do not eat fish. The man got angry and ignorant Yelled at me...and basically told me to get out of his store. I was astonished! We went back and forth a few times about his loud tone and lack of customer relations skills. He became extremely defensive; started talking about his six children and what not. When I asked for a refund...He lost it! He threw twenty dollars on the counter towards me .... At this point, I said, Im not trying to rob you, I just want my money back. I then left feeling disappointed and disrespected. I had to write this review To let this business owner know: This is not the way to conduct business. Do not false advertising whatsoever it is you are selling; via product or pricing. And last, have respect for your clients Theyre the ones that keep your business running. Note to self...I will never return to City Patties! Disrespectfuless is all I received
