We were in Scarborough after a very long time and came across Negril’s Jerk Hut. Since it’s Sunday and most Jerk restaurants are closed…this was the only restaurant close by and with decent reviews. Hands down the best jerk, coleslaw and rice and peas we have had since our trip to Jamaica. The food was fresh and flavourful. We also got their home made hot sauce on the side… AMAZING!! Highly recommend this place.

My goodness! This place has some of the best Jamaican food I have tried! The calallou was beyond amazing and the rice and peas were delicious! Jerk chicken was perfectly flavoured and savory. 10/10 definitely coming back.

Horrible dingy restaurant that serves stale overpriced food.The restaurant has no prices posted inside,you can't see most of the food like most Caribbean restaurants and everything was a dirt trap. What was the absolute worse,however, was the food. Bought stew beef,charged $15 for a snack sized portion ,didn't know the price til after I ordered. I have never paid so much for a tiny size before. The beef was salty and the rice was clearly stale and spoiled. It was beyond inedible, it was disgusting and we couldn't eat it. Never again.

Wonderful Carribean food, had the oxtail, the jerk chicken and the curried goat. All were delicious with nice portions. The owner has a wonderful personality and is a joy to chat and share a laugh with. The pics are after my wife and I had lunch. We are looking forward to leftovers for lunch again.

Absolutely mouthwateringly delicious, and the amazing friendly service that really makes this place and its food a true hidden gem! Writing this while I devour this plate on the TTC, it's THAT good! The gentleman who served me was a very friendly elderly man who I believe is the owner. He's so full of energy and joy to share the flavours of his home to you 😊! He even went out of the way to make a mixed plate of jerk and brown stew chicken for me because I couldn't decide. While I waited, he had another regular come in and when I asked him what he thought, he told me I definitely came to the right place; DEFINITELY ASK FOR GRAVY/SAUCE!! I think their patties are homemade too! 😋 Portions are big, price is definitely worth the quality and quantity you get! All served and made with love! Needless to say, I can't wait to be back and bring friends! Thank you so much my dude who served me today!! You're awesome!

Came across this place fiending for carribean food; having been to 2 that were closed on sunday. Boy was I not disappointed. The goat was phenomenal, just so tender and the gravy just soaked up all that goat flavor. Omg. Had a side of fried kingfisher...which was perfection. You need to eat here. Clean plate club.

Im a regular at Chris Jerk and was looking for a place on Sunday (CJ being closed). I am always skeptical and disappointed with most jerk places in the east. But this place is a hidden gem and the food is better than anything else I have tried. The entire experience is amazing from speaking with Ted the owner to the chicken falling off the bone. I had to bring some home for my wife and now she keeps asking if we can get some more (went by today and its still great). Thanks Ted for the great food and experience.

Its extremely unfortunate that I have to write this. I dont often purchase Caribbean food because Id rather cook it myself but when I do most, I generally stick to tried and true restaurants. I googled this place not knowing what to eat and was bringing food for someone else as a treat and this food was NO TREAT AT ALL. We shared one container and I threw the other container in the garbage. The food was overly salty and I was hoping that it was just one of the items but EVERYTHING was salty (I am a person who likes salt!! However the person I was treating was diabetic). BBQ chicken- dry, lacked BBQ flavor and was salty. Curry goat- flavor was terrible, meat was dry and salty. Curry chicken- flavor was terrible, and salty. Fry chicken- this was probably the best item but was probably sitting in the showcase all day so it was just oily, slightly dry, AND SALTY. Callaloo was salty.... I probably was most content with the rice and peas but I didnt pay $32.00 for RICE AND PEAS! Id of given 1 star however the gentleman serving me was polite... But also said I wouldnt be disappointed. I hope this venue will make changes.

We tried this spot for the first time as we randomly found it from Google. We tried the oxtail, jerk chicken and ackee and salt fish. The spice level was nice as it had a good kick to it but not overpowering. The food overall had good flavour but found it a bit too salty.

One of my favorite places to get oxtail! They also have great catering service.

December 23, 2023

Ordered take out jerk chicken dinner, curry chicken roti and stewed goat. The chicken roti was insulting. The roti itself was hard and the filling . Yikes it had clearly been sitting all day and nobody even bothered to stirred it. The man who prepped it clearly didn t even pretend to care and stir it before making. He must obviously just skimmed the top of the pot where all the potatoes had reached the point of being hard they were so dry. Shameful. There was also a piece of ginger the size of half a chicken thigh. Nothing had any spice but was way too salty. Tasted like it was made by a white person. Super disappointing.

The food is good and actually really flavourful but the shop is a bit run down and there was no menu there which made ordering a bit confusing and inefficient. Prices were on the higher end and I spent $35 total for two meals. Good customer service - the guy behind the counter was very friendly. Please get a menu printed soon!

My friend and I both ordered jerk chicken with the green hot sauce on the side for take out. My order was wrong as I was given bbq chicken by mistake, also no green hot sauce like I asked for. We were both over charged for our food. We found both chicken dishes to be overly salty. We will not be going back there again. Menus with prices should be put up so people can see the prices.

Go for the Jerk Chicken and Ox tail. Other chicken options are also good but the Jerk is simply out of this world. Just the right amount of spice for me along with the tasty rice and beans. Coleslaw can be off and on depending on when you come though. This store came through for me even in high school as they would provide a lunch special for only $5 that would fill me up for the rest of the school day. Great owner, after graduating I visited after months of not being able to go and he still recognized me. Easily the best Jerk Chicken in Scarborough. Honestly, it might be the best in the province, maybe even in the entire damn country! :)

Tried the Oxtail stew medium size and Chicken stew medium size. On first glace I was served generous meat chunks and was really looking forward to it, but when you bite into it, bone chunks accounted for 80% of the meat. Afterwards the bone pile accounted for 1/3 of the take-out container. Paid ~$17.50/meal (tax included) for bones and some rice. The person serving was nice though.

Ordered from door dash, their sizes are not as advertised. On their site they show what their large vs medium is, however they only gave me a medium ( despite paying 21$ for a large).. On top of that the oxtail is extremely undercooked/undrrseasoned. Not to say its raw but its tough.

We got to experience the negril jerk hut at the taste of Lawrence this weekend and it was the BEST JERK Ive had in Scarborougg EVER. it compared to the jerk I get in jamaica. Perfection 10/10

Local Guide
December 23, 2023

Negrils had a booth at the Taste of Lawrence festival, thought wed support a local business, give them a try. This was on the Friday, so the festival had been underway for a couple of hours -- not the start, not the end. They were selling, but not crazy busy. Ordered two jerk pork meals. Understood $10 each pricing for street festival take-out. However, after we found a place nearby to sit down and eat in some shade -- surprise -- NOT PORK. Both of our meals were chicken. Well, I assume it was chicken. Mine was mainly a big glob of fat / under-cooked skin, with a bone and some gristle, maybe a teaspoon worth of edible meat. My wifes was not much better. Shards of shattered chicken bones on both. Perhaps the most bland, flavourless jerk Ive ever had - no spice at all. Peas & rice also bland, dried out, chewy. I dont know if serving us the wrong food and what looked like the scraps that should have been discarded was deliberate or just incompetence. Also, Ive had jerk in many places, other countries, including the Caribbean ... this was not jerk. My wife wants to give them another chance, at the actual restaurant, but after reading other reviews here ... nope. Dont think so. Avoid this place. Yuck.

My daughter asked me to try oxtail somewhere and i googled and this place was open today. I walked in and was already nervous as theres no signs of prices and place was kind of dark. There was a sign saying no credit only debit or cash. No prices i asked how much for portions of small medium large. 16.50 for small 18.50 for medium and 23.50 for large. I was kind of floored with the prices. I though maybe the portions are a huge mountain of food for that price plus i already traveled there. I asked my daughter if she wanted to try it she answered its okay we can come another day, i asked why she answered its very expensive. My answer was just try it you might like it. Well here we go !!! She said its nothing special dad its kind of salty and the portions are so small and the price so crazy!!!!. I said we tried and never again!!!!!!!. Let me tell you we eat out alot and know when food is good or not. I wouldnt even give this place a 1 star. Id im paying almost 20$ for a meal it better fill me for hours. This place is hurting so they raise prices to try and recoup costs. Shut it down i say. You should have to post prices and a menu or your trying to hide it because if people order then you tell them the price they will drop to the floor.

I ordered a large jerk chicken. There is enough chicken and rice to warrant it being called a large. I got 2 full legs, there was consistent peas in the rice. The chicken was delicious, rice tasted good even better with the gravy and coleslaw was good as well. I will give a 4.5 for flavour, a little steep on the price I think, it was $19 with tax, so make it a 4/5. If it came with a drink that would have been irie, it was at $15 I would come there twice a week.

I usually never take time to write the reviews but this time I have to, the other day I got at the restaurant at 11:30am which he is supposed to be open, I called the place and he said he is a little late today he will open in 30min but I ended up waiting for an hour. First time? Not a big deal. But I won t trust the operation hours anymore especially when it comes to what time they open or close. On Friday we called the restaurant to have the order ready for pick up, he even asked how many minutes and we specifically told him how long it would take us to get there, I was in rush heading to the airport. I got there the food wasn t ready, this was so disappointing because it s the third time already. So why agree to take the order on the phone when you know you won t prepare it until the person gets there? Anyways overall the owner is super friendly, but us black people we need to take our business serious and respect each other s time. He could have easily refused to take the order instead of giving us false hope for the third time. Save yourself the trouble and go order in as ordering on the phone won t save you any time.

We went to grab takeouts from here and had really great conversations with the owner who was working. He claimed his jerk chicken is the best in town and I certainly agree with it.

This is by far and away the best jerk Ive had so far. Everything is just right.

I had a jerk chicken dinner and it was good. The chicken was flavourful and the rice was proper. However the place is so run down and dirty. It looks like it s falling apart on the inside. And even though the food was good, I was questioning whether i should eat it or not. I was really hungry so I did, but I m struggling with the thought If the front looks like what it does, imagine the kitchen?!. I don t know if the resources are there but some small improvements to make the restaurant more appealing would be beneficial in my opinion. I likely won t go back, the state of the restaurant was a bit of a turn off.

Tried this restaurant for the first time on Friday. I was surprised there is no menu posted in the restaurant but i did look at their website before going. I got a medium jerk chicken which was $15. On their website a large is only $10.99. It was 1 small chicken leg, some rice and a pinch of coleslaw. Most places give more meat in a medium than small but not here.The lady that served me was very kind and the food was OK but sadly it didnt seem at all worth the money.

Although flavorful, the chicken was dry like its been sitting in the grill for a while. If the chicken was moist perhaps I would order from here. But for now, NEXT!!

My friend and I went here today and tried it for the first time. The oxtail was amazing, along with the jerk chicken roti, and the rice and peas was unreal, right down to the steamed veggies. Our families are both from the islands and we grew up eating this food. Highly recommend! The owner was also the biggest sweetheart, so kind. Please try them out & support small businesses!

Today I did a search for another restaurant that serves Caribbean food. The other week we went to another place and we were unimpressed to say the least. Today, I found Negrils Jerk Hut online and suggested to my husband that we try it out. Long story short, he got the curried goat and I got the jerk chicken combo. I cant stress enough how delicious the food is. My husband was pleased with the curried goat - there was an ample amount of meat. I absolutely LOVED the jerk chicken. It was moist and succulent. The rice was superb and the cole slaw, simply delicious. We will definitely go back for more, but I told my husband that I want double jerk chicken next time. Thanks for making such great food.

The food tastes sour , soggy. This is a bad representation of Jamaica . The food looks unpleasant and cannot be eaten. I asked for ackee and saltfish with a side of callaloo , there was 0 ACKEE AND SALTFISH in the meal .There was no love put in this food at all , this is my first and last time eating here. I would not recommend to anyone if 0 was a rating , that what it would get .

I ordered a large bbq chicken dinner through uber eats. It was my first time ordering. Not a joke all I got was chicken skin and bones and rice soaked in gravy. This place is such a scam.

The place is filthy, and I mean FILTHY.... seems like most positive reviews are from people that have no clue what REAL Jamaican food is suppose to taste like... chicken soup taste like he dumped a bag of curry powder in it... couldnt eat it, went straight in the garbage...roti is FAR from real roti, its just TERRIBLE... again, that went straight in the garbage... couldnt eat ANYTHING I bought from this place... I wouldnt let my dog eat here.... STAY AWAY, YOUVE BEEN WARNED.

Sorry but after eating here for the first time and paying $16 .70 for a medium oxtail I expect it to be at least good..it was salty and looks like they use the oxtail sauce no authentic taste , no plantain just a little coleslaw which was ok..but I felt ripped off .. it taste like stewed oxtail.. kmt

Great staff I must say . unfortunately the food was a disappointment. The oxtail was overly salty and lacked that authentic oxtail flavor. The brown stew was fried just right but the flavor was so bland The rice and peas was good but for 40 dollars the meat to rice ratio was way off . The festivals yucky. They only use flour and water . No sugar or salt .I got 2 meals and was disappointed in both we did not end up eating much and made something else at home . I wont be going back it just was not up to my standards of flavor from an authentic jamaican restaurant.
