No. 1 Jerk in Scarborough

Threw up. First time here never again. Wasted my money n time coming here. Jerk chicken rice and peas maccaroni tasted like nothing at all.

Best bbq chicken Rica and peas Ive ever tasted, the stewed chicken gravy was the cherry on top for this meal

Overall just not a good experience

18$ for a leg and thigh quater with two festival and a drink , thats craaaaazy

Best oxtail omg

Cant believe the price on the roti , 24.99 plus tax , unbelievable. For a patty 4$ Cmon yall need to do better on the prices

Tastey patties in a bun

Went to get a roti and was very surprised how good it was, spice was really flavourful. Also had their chicken soup really good. Parking: Park

Great place to eat

Found this place after moving into the neighborhood. Amazing food and customer service, love the authentic jerk. They have daily specials all the time. Highly recommend trying the place out if in the bluffs area. Dietary restrictions: Halal available!

Dietary restrictions: They said everything they cook is halal. They also have a patty that might not be halal so ask if you have dietary restrictions. The patty is not made there! Parking: There are about 3 spots on the street but behind the shops you can find parking but what I did was to park in a spot I saw in the plaza before.

Food is too expensive but all of it was microwaved, old and VERY small portion. Soup was soggy and smelly. Had a feeling it was leftovers from the day before, did not taste good. Employees were unprofessional and unhygienic. Heard employees screaming and fighting in the kitchen. One female employee especially was extremely rude and acting belligerent. SAVE YOUR MONEY! DONT GO HERE!

Don t bother

I wish I read reviews before ordering here. They aren t lying. The chicken roti was terrible, and expensive and couldn t finish it.

This is true JERK. Done over charcoal and cooked to perfection. DELICIOUS Like the sign says #1JERK.

Food was awesome, rice and pea were bomb! Awesome staff Thanks Guys Ill be back! Food

Great vibes!!! Excellent service!!! Food

Paid extra for the bonesless chicken roti which was filled with bones and spent the next 3 days sick with food poisoning. Gross. Clean up your act No. 1 Jerk!

Food was really horrible and dry. I honestly do not recommend this place for any reason. Food

I placed an order on Uber eats, they sent me the wrong item. I called the restaurant and spoke to the female, she was absolutely disgusting in the way she handled customer service. Not only did she not want to do anything about the mistake from their end but then she proceeded to hang up on me mid conversation. I m wouldn t recommend anyone ordering from this place. The food was disgusting, no flavor or taste. Save your money

I had the jerk chicken here last saturday. It was the best Toronto jerk that I ever had. I have tried most of the jerk places in Toronto and this is definitely the best, at great prices too. The owner is a very friendly person.

Got jerk chicken sandwich and it was amazing. Affordable price and nice staffs. The owner of the restaurant is kind and very friendly too. Best Jamaican food ever Food : 5/5 |

Big up to this joint , whent their around 11:15 or so, me and a co worker got medium jerk chicken with rice and peas /oxtail gravy , I added a spicy patty and ting . The patty was fire, the jerk chicken , rice and peas were also amazing , good portions , good price, great service. Would recommend and will be back in future

Unfortunately not great. Had high hopes as the pictures looked amazing. My food was all bones and potatoes. Meat, the little bit I found in the roti, was cut oddly and had shards of bone in the food. Ended up throwing it out. Very dry as well no gravy and was cold. Thought Id try a new place and support a local business however I would strongly recommend trying elsewhere if you are inclined. Have eaten at many other great Carribean places and really hope this is a one off and not their usual, however based on recent reviews, it seems normal for them.

I had the jerk chicken it was excellent and goathead soup was fantastic staff is amazing

Amazing stuff great food

One of the best Jerk Chicken Ive had. Gravy is perfect on the rice. House hot sauce is good and spicy.

Love the goat curry, jerk chicken and the insanely hot home made hot sauce. All the sides have been delecious too. Friendly staff to top it off. Highly recommended

Jamaican food is lit!

Ive been a couple times now after popping in on a whim and honestly its really nice. Keep in mind Ive never really been a fan of jerk chicken, I dont like spice for the sake of being hot, but this place makes it nice and flavorful. I order the $7 student special of jerk chicken, rice & peas, coleslaw and water, and frankly the portion is big enough that me and my mum split it when we go for a walk. The rice is delicious and the food is always nice and hot. The owner is super nice too, makes going to a new place that much easier. I see they get mixed reviews but frankly I havent had any issues, I really enjoy when I do go out and get it.

Liked the yellow rice and chicken. Different spices and taste. The plantain could have been a little more ripen but the dish tasted similar to what we prepare in Kerala. Worth trying.

Wow I really need to start reading reviews because this was the worst food I have ever had and the cost was what made it worse! I said to myself as soon as I stepped into this place and seen how nasty the place looked I should of left but said I will give it a chance. Wow what a mistake. Should of left when I heard the microwave heating up my food in the back!

This was my bf & I s first time ordering from this restaurant. We both got a patty and a jerk bbq sandwich each. It was really good and hot when arrived. Meat was very little in spice and flavourful. Would order again :)

Food was ok. Went there a few times late at night. People serving are chill. Heard the microwave going off in the back kitchen. Not the best nor the worst jerk chicken Ive ever had.

Always lives up to the standard!

Guy that works there has bad hygiene, smells really bad. There was a hair in my food tonight. Told them to cancel my order. Never going back.

The food was nasty. Ordered for rice with , was given rice mixed with beans. The place looks so dirty and nasty. The guy cooking the food look so dirty and unprofessional. Whole place smelled weed. I really regretted. Food portion is very small and expensive. The need to stop smoking in there, the cook needs to be clean and profession . He lack customer service. The food wasn t what I had as compared to other Jamaican place. Am never buying from here again sorry. Kid-friendliness: Not a place for kids. Smells of weed

Real jerk chicken was very delicious

Best soup

Wish I had read the reviews before ordering from skip. I ordered the chicken foot soup and it was sour.

I would have loved to give this place a higher rating, but sadly it fell a little short. This is possibly the worst Jamaican food in the city until we find another one to take last place. I had curry goat and oxtail both were a little underwhelming.

they refuse to address the feral horse problem

Jerk was great, nice and spicy! Small serving is A LOT! The curry goat was delicious, not tough and dry, nice and tender. Will be back again next time in Scarborough!

My first time at there ,the hospitality was good and the food was also good

Too dry and they give me 4 drumsticks???

Great jerk every time, a must try.

Terrible i asked for boneless roti was spitting out bones the whole time it took whoever almost an hour to make it was the worst roti i ever had

Good food

Wish I looked at the reviews I ordered a slice of rum cake and was given a bite size portion that was smaller than my pinky finger

Good food good people good work

You HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE!!!! we were in the area visiting a beach near by and came to this restaurant. Food was absolutely amazing! You must try the pasta salad that they make. It was amazing I went home craving for more. Definitely going back when Im in the area

Terrible

Food was great! Thanks

The worst oxtail I ever tried in my life it smelled really bad its like they pressure cooked it for hour no flavour at all had to throw it out. The jerk chicken was ok.

Better than Warden station patties.

Ordered the Jerk Chicken for delivery, the chicken had a nasty burnt flavour from skin to bone, the rice was well cooked but its only white rice after all, barely any flavour. Not only that, the portions felt small compared to other Caribbean/Jamaican spots Ive been to.

Look at the reviews. I didnt and made a huge mistake ordering from them at 1030pm. Chicken was since lunch. Very dry. I ordered a large they gave me a leg only. The gravy was the worst I ever had. THE WORST. The rice was old. They dont care about their food. Stay away!!!!

Best jerk chicken

Most authentic pan chicken in the city! Has really good portions, guaranteed to fill your belly! Real Jamaican food prepared by a real Jamaican.

Great food and great friendly customer service! :) <3 I personally love the curry and stew chicken the best.

Was on a speaker phone call with a friend who was inquiring about their ackee and a Salt fish for 1000 dollars yess you read that right and when the guy picked up and my friend asked about it the guy said ya so what as iff that is normal

Worst jerk chicken I ever had in Toronto. The chicken burnt with no gravy on it. The rice is dry. Would not recommend this place.

Lovely place. Just started going there. Great food.

Very good. Very nice

The jerk chicken dinner that I ordered was very dry the rice was dry also I asked for oxtail sauce on the rice nothing was put on very disappointed will not be going back.

Enjoyed my jerk chicken meal. The rice was topped with sweet fried onions that were super tasty.

My favorite spot for jerk chicken rice and peas no veggies with oxtail gravy on point this spot is a must check them out

Too dry. Not the best quality.

This place should shut down the man can t cook even if his life depended on it.... everything taste nasty like it s been in a plastic container for days never again

Taste so good!

The worst I ordered from there and didn t get what I ordered, and the guy told me I don t have to know what He gave me, I m coming to that store to put him on blast he don t know me. People spend there hard earn money I don t care, you never know how hard I have to work, if there is something that you don t have you should at least acknowledge the customer jackass... and the food had no taste and full of black pepper just taste like water and pepper.. I will not be eating here anymore... coward

Its really great food , great price ,I love it

Jerk chicken on point

Its wicked!! Wood BBQ chicken thats second to none.

They slow cook the food on a charcoal grill for hours, its so good. nothing tastes like this place. Definitely have to try it!

First and last time.

If youre a true Jamaican who use to buy food at cook shop or from the jerkman on the road then you know the food from this restaurant is damn near the same that smokey flavor is very necessary

Good tasty food but no garden salad.

Flavorless

Absolute amazing

Best jerk chicken in the city

Good food for the price, particularly the Tuesday special.

Very dry jerk chicken. The rice and peas was ok. Got the large one. Barely enough chicken

Like if you love dirty no frills island food then come here. You know the drill.

The food got delivered with missing and incorrect order. The BBQ chicken was so dry, almost burnt! Never going to order from here again

absolute trash....clumpy rice, died no mean jerk chicken disgusting coleslaw...never again.

Seriously the Jerk chicken with rice and peas is the bomb. So full (had a small)

Food is great, authentic and pretty big portions!

The worst ox tail Ive ever eaten. Couldnt finish it. Had an underlying burnt flavour as if it stewed in a burnt pot. The texture was very fatty and unpleasant. Flavour was horrible. Definitely not cooked today, it tasted very old.

The Ugliest.

No. 1 Star. Didnt want pizza and the Chinese restaurant was closed so I decided to go to this place. In my mind I was saying that at least its West Indian food and I preferred that over pizza any day....ANY DAY BUT TODAY! I wish I just stuck to the pizza I bought for my child. Im not a person to bash an establishment like this...ESPECIALLY from my own cultural background but it was probably the worst place Ive been to in Scarborough in regards of the food alone. My rating is not for anything else but the food. The rice was mushy (Im pretty sure I read that somewhere in the reviews as well) Without the tastless gravy on top of that rice, it still needed salt. The fried chicken was alright and the two plantain that I got (BTW I was so happy to see them in there and so excited to eat them) were dry. Guessing they were fried earlier in the day. I came around 5pm. Love coleslaw but wasnt a fan of the one given to me. Would have given 2 more stars if it didnt send me to the bathroom MAYBE I will give this place another try earlier in the day when the food is fresh.

Good real Jamaican food

The jerk chicken here is great. Large portion, flavorful and tender. The cons? They are really stingy with their coleslaw and there is hardly any fish in their salt fish and ackee dish.still my number one spot for jerk chicken.

Authentic jamaican dishes! With a nice twist on most, Devon has amazing service as well!

The most delicious jerk chicken you will ever taste. The oxtail beautiful, not fat on it.

Very satisfied

My first experience wasnt too great. I ordered a medium curry chicken and as I waited, I hear a microwave as my food is being prepared. Im not sure if my order was microwaved-prepared or not, but I got a little suspicious how my food was served. When I tried the curry chicken, it was full of bones as I tried eating the chicken meat. I had to keep spitting out bones every time I take a bite. The vegetables also had hard stems as I try to eat. Didnt really have a good experience here. Colesaw was okay, but didnt bother finishing up the rest of my food. Bony chicken made it difficult to eat and enjoy the food. Cant really trust how the food was prepared.

Patties taste old, roti is drier than the sand on Jamaicas beaches and there was more bones in my roti than there are in a chickens body. Tasty spice though, when I wasnt spitting out bits of ribcage...

I ordered food from these guys through Uber Eats. I only received half of my order then when I told the driver he said to contact #1 Jerk. When I contacted them they told it wasnt their problem and that Id have to contact Uber. What a nightmare just to order some dinner.

Best home cooked yardy food..... HARDY food YARDY food.

Ordered boneless and there little tiny bones all through my food. Wont be back

I hate to say it, because the guy that worked there was so nice.. but the food is TERRIBLE! They cut up their chicken all weird to the point where the pieces were completely mangled, couldnt even eat the jerk chicken when we got home because it was all just BONE and weird parts.. so disappointing considering I spent $40 there and not a single person I picked up jerk chicken and rice for, were able to eat their food properly. Needless to say never going back & you probably shouldnt either... unless you like pissing away your $$

I usually try to support my cultural restaurant from time to time but west Indian and Jamaican food as a certain level of expectations. Rice and peas mushy....flavorless....jerk chicken black like tar. Well dark...taste burnt. .limited gravy. Coleslaw is usually shredded or cute small these were cut for steam purpose and turn into coleslaw. I dumped the food out. A year ago I gave the food a try and it was semi. Things should improve over time. I guess I am stuck cooking my own Caribbean food at home. Its the worst thing to feel hungry due to a busy day and the food wasnt even near any standard of mines. Very disappointing

Great food! Highly recommended

Come to Gramps

Best tasting Jerk and ox tail. These people can cook yard food almost as good as my mom :)

This place is unrateable Very poor cooking ordered 2 large oxteal rice and peas with 2 coconut water and 3 peanut punch drinks and they. Didnt deliver one of my drink food was highly burnt my kids couldnt even eat the food and when i call all they could ever say is sorry and then stayed silent the hole time im talking. No sort or customer service very rude

Ordered large jerk chicken with rice, and a chicken roti. The rice was mush. Over cooked, bland, minute rice. The chicken was extremely over cooked and dry in both the roti, and the jerk, and half the pieces of jerk chicken were more bone than meat. Very disappointed, not ordering again.

Deserves zero stars. Horrible cook... completely burnt jerk chicken with 95% just bones, asked for gravy got nothing, complete waste of money.

This was horrendous! Basically had the entire chickens skeleton with no meat on it, the rice had for sure been sitting out all day and had no taste and the coleslaw was definitely from a container. Not to mention how dirty and sketchy the actual building was. I took two bites and threw it out.

Went in on their opening day last year, ordered oxtail. It was rubbery and actually had a plastic taste Horrible
