Vibrant kitchen dishing up traditional Caribbean eats, including jerk chicken, roti & oxtail.
I've been eating these patties since the '90s. They're the best! Just tried the veggie for the first time and was delighted to find it was like no other veggie patty I've had before. It was stuffed with collard greens, plantain, carrots and potatoes with a nice kick to it. A new favorite but I'll always go back to the beef patty
I came because I heard they’re the best beef patty in the city and I wanted to try it just once. Things I liked: It has twice the stuffing of any other Toronto patty I’ve tried, you can taste real beef with distinct juicy beef granules not just mushy paste. Things I didn’t love: My personal preference is for spicy but seems they dont do spicy, this patty is very light any flavour besides beef. As with many patties, shell is dry to the bite. All patties are at their best when fresh and very hot, not sure how it travels but I expect over time shell may get softer but the filling dry out a little but there’s still be a lot of it. Overall: I don’t disagree that it’s the best non-spicy beef patty in the city, and if that’s your thing it’s worth a stop.
The chicken patties are huge and delicious. Filled with lots of meat and curry.
Been here several times in the past few weeks, this is probably the BEST beef patty I've tried in the city. The chicken patty is delicious too, but be warned it is FILLING. These patties a re a whole meal in themselves. Super flavourful and never a disappointment. Happy to keep supporting and keep coming back.
Was walking by and popped in for a patty on a whim. Met the nice lady who told me she makes them from scratch. It was probably the best Jamaican patty I’ve had in my whole life! Highly recommend!
Complete garbage food! Jerk chicken is supposed to be juicy, tender, and full taste. What I got was dry, tasteless, and really gave the vibe that it was sitting for a few days. And the patty was 80% dry pastrie with almost no filling! Disrespect to real Carribean food!!! Spent $30 for nothing.
The lady was so sweet, the energy was amazing when making small talk. The beef patty is, without a doubt, THE BEST BEEF PATTY I HAVE HAD. I have tried beef patties from convenience stores, lunch rooms, patties express, small subway bakeries, frozen, and non of those can top it. It is $4.50 for one, but the seasoning and how much meat is in it makes it worth it. You just know it’s made with love
I didn’t grow up with patties. Heck, I’ve only started eating them in my adult years after I heard so many go on and on about them. Can’t say I was a huge fan, but after trying a good dozen different places over a couple years of exploring, Caribbean Queen’s patty is my top pick in the city. Firstly, the pastry is excellent - flaky and light and a bit of that short crust sandiness. Real nice. Secondly, the filling is substantial and flavourful and actually meaty. I’m not tied to nostalgia, so these two key points makes for an enjoyable patty to me. Will have to try her jerk next time!
Delicious beef patty. Will need to come back to try more of the other food!
genuinely the best beef patty i ve had in my life
worst patty i ve ever had , how do you mess up a spicy patty :(
Best Jerk Chicken, rice and peas outside of the island, super charming decor makes you feel yourre on vacation, and a wonderful lady who makes it all very homestyle and comforting.
Incredible beef patty, sweet and talented owner, cozy place. Spectacular.
I need to know who in the hell is rating these restaurants? This is the most disgusting patties Ive ever tried in my life. How disgusting!
Yikes, the woman who runs this place was so rude, its terrible customer service. She served the ppl in line behind us before taking our compete order and gave them the last patties . Why would you come here when the food is subpar? There are so many other delicious food options in the city, I recommend avoiding this one. Not good at all. I wish I could give zero stars
This woman is so rude , today I asked her how many pieces of chicken was in each serving she she I dont know, I just cut . I told her I needed to know more or less because 5 people were going to share . Doni asked he r for 4 portions and 2 beef patties she co.es out with the rice , salad and the chicken in separate trays. She charged me $95 total . Each serving is $13 . I was so embarrassed to say anything . Its the last time I go there . Her attitude is not appreciated and making prices as she goes is not acceptable.
Best patties in Toronto hands down!!!!
Definitely I agree with the good reviews/remarks about Beef patty; I Iive on Dufferin and Bloor and haven t noticed the store right around the corner! ( until my walk during Bloor street fest). Absolutely she make best patties Food
Very good
Got the beef patties! On the affordable side and quite yummy and got them when it was very very warm so I really enjoyed them
This is not like any patty i have ever had. I had Randy s Patty in a class of it s own and as the best I ve ever had until I discovered these patties with real, well seasoned meat and the perfectly flaky shell. It is SO worth the price, I imagine this is what the best pattys in Jamaica taste like. It s also important to note, I don t do these reviewed unless my mind is blown by the food. These Pattie s are definitely a mindblowing experience!
Eat here. Don t think. Just do it. But lots and buy often.
THE BEST PATTIES IN THE CITY HANDS DOWN! GREAT RESPECT FOR THE QUEEN OF PATTIES...! Food
im a pretty fair person and usually give the benefit of a doubt when it comes to rating food. I have to be honest...$21:50 for a goat roti??????? I mentioned that is a bit steep but was told ya but there is a pound of goat in the roti. I literally picked out 27 pieces of bone. 27. Im sorry but the portion size is NOT large (27 pieces of bone) and $21.50 sorry but I can not, in good faith, recommend this place.
My new favourite spot for aithentic Jamaican food. P Patties and Jerk pork were super tasty! Food : 5/5
I was very unhappy with my visit. For the whole time that I was there the lady was on the phone talking, barely interacted with me, and then she disappeared for the longest time and didn t apologize when she came back with my jerk chicken and rice. I also wasn t asked if I wanted coleslaw or not, usually I like my coleslaw separately on the side but was surprised when I saw it in the container with my food. The customer service wasn t welcoming at all, very rude if you ask me.
The beef patty is so thick and full!! The meat has so much flavour. I have seriously never had a patty so delicious and filling. Also the seating is so homey and charming. The light jazz music. Such a vibe.
Delicious fresh thick homemade authentic patties one of best in Toronto she makes them herself traditional way.
You guys are crazy, complaining about rudeness. Real ones know thats the best Jamaican food! Hands down. I went here years ago and Im in the area again today and cant wait to get dinner!
A friend of mine brought Jamaican patties from here to a potluck we were having and I could not stop eating them. I am picky with my patties because I cant take too much spice. These were perfect for me. He got the cocktail sized patties, which were perfect. You could tell they were homemade. The absolute best!
Found mold in patty. Cant be giving these to customers.
the best patties in toronto!!!
I see there are some mixed reviews here. I always enjoyed Caribbean Queen but overdid eating here the summer I first moved to Lansdowne. I returned recently and was so pleasantly surprised to find I was in love with the food again. I can only speak for the Jerk Chicken special at this time, as I cant seem to stop myself from ordering it. Its some amazingly tasty I just cant say no. I find it completely satisfying and great value for the money. Ill update this review when I finally get to the roti or the patties, but until then I can highly recommend the Jerk chicken. I WILL be back. Ps. Please consider hitting the helpful button (thumbs up) or not helpful button if you found my review useful to you. It would give me more feedback than just the number of reads.
Tasty jerk chicken
The best Jamaican patty in town. Period. Yes, the owner is a bit of a character, and the place is unpolished. But IMO, Toronto s restaurants are all becoming the same (distressed wooden bars, the same cocktail menus, or the same big box fast food places). I ll take this place and it s amazing food any day of the week.
Pre-COVID, the patties here were fantastic and then the consistency of the quality slowly went down even though the prices were going up. I dont mind the atrocious service as long as the food is good and clean, but dealing with unhappy people while rolling the dice on whether your food is going to be good or not is a pass. A real shame. Parking: Green P about a block or so east of here.
These patties are the real deal, beef chicken or veg youre gonna smile. Have another one, hell buy a box - you know I always do. Lovely lady who owns it treats you like family as well. Any of the big city self proclaimed foodies on these reviews who are nit picking some element of these patties need to take a hike. No one cares, your opinion doesnt matter. This is how the patties were made traditionally so if you have a problem, then maybe you dont like patties. 5/5 for Caribbean Queen
It s 5 stars and the owner is a gem.
Best patties in town! Edit: to those of you who are complaining about Georginas customer service, youre there to eat the food, not to be treated like royalty. Enjoy the food and go. If you ever speak with her (shes the owner) beyond your first sentence I guarantee you will find her to be one of the sweetest ladies.
Delicious food served by the sweetest person I have ever met. Every visit I make here is like a hug.
Some of the best, and biggest, patties in the city. An eclectic collection of cute and comfy tables and chairs is a bonus.
Dont listen to anyone saying the pattys are less than 5 stars. This is the real deal. Came here to get a patty with my husband and not only were they HEAPING in size but you can truly experience the real Caribbean taste and spice in these patties. Took it out the wrapper and immediately got slapped in the face with nostalgia of my grandmas cooking. Get the patty, youll enjoy it.
Delicious. :-P
Felt SICK immediately after eating this, the chicken was Dry AF would not recommend this to anyone.
Delicious food, good prices, cute atmosphere and friendly service. Will most certainly be back!
Love this woman, and her Patties di best!
Had the jerk pork and beef patty. Was amazing - best patty and jerk pork I have had. The person working there was really nice and I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the place.
Had a small chicken Roti yesterday and it was amazing and filling. Went back today for some beef patties. OMG.. they are the best. Made from scratch and huge. Anyone crying about the price doesnt value the womans hard work and dedication. I see some people have an issue with how they are treated by the owner. She was nothing but friendly and sweet to me. Maybe some people just give off a negative energy and she picks up in it. I will be eating here weekly from now on. My favorite new local place to eat.
Hands down the best patty I have ever had in my life. I recommend this place whole heartedly. As soon as you try this place you will never go anywhere else.
Best patty we have had yet in the city
Best patties around.
The beef patty was absolutely delicious. Her patty sweet and soft, whilst the filing was generous and hearty.
$4 patties. Delicious.
Food is terrible. Attitude very nasty. I hope she gets closed down.
The best beef patty I have EVER had. You can tell it s made from scratch and it LOADED. 1000% recommend.
When you first walk in you know this is a an authentic Carribean cooking that you know its going to be good. Unfortunately my search or the perfect oxtail continues. The oxtail I ordered tasted bland but portion is very good 4 large prices!!! There is almost no service as my food took 45 min just having an oxtail....I guess its freshly made?!? Even with three person ahead if me its still take too long IMO . The inside looks homey but a little old looking but I guess that is what is going for?
This lady served me Costco chicken with jerk sauce on the chicken which was so hard I took it and returned it to the store and asked her why she was calling it jerk food. She charged $12 for jerk chicken. It was the most disgusting Jamaican food I ever tried. The coleslaw didnt have any dressing on it. There was no ambiance to the place. Its such a disgrace she is selling this garbage and calling it Jamaican food. I have been having Jamaican food for the past 25 years and nothing comes close to this disgusting and disappointing.
My hopes were high for a really good patty based on the reviews but I was extremely disappointed. I had the beef patty and the oxtail. The outer layer was not flaky and the interior was not meaty. Not to mention there was no spice. If you re familiar with authentic Jamaican food or you re of Jamaican descent, you will be disappointed by the food here.
I only called for price of the patties...and my God I have NEVER encountered such rudeness. The lady that answered the phone was a beast and extremely loud. I wouldnt even think to bother try these patties for free. And to think, I was looking at a huge order of more than 100 patties. STAY FAR!!! Cant rate the food as I would NEVER go here....just from 1 call. Sad
Amazingly tasty food, and kind service. The owner is so lovely, it doesnt get any better than this! The fried plantain and beef patties are delicious.
I wish I could give this place negative stars. Lady behind the counter is beyond rude and the place was a mess. I walked out extremely disgusted. Food was bland and not authentic. Eat here if you want food poisoning.
The beef patties are delicious. The lady who runs the store can be grouchy but she s also incredibly kind and sweet. Food
Real good!
Got a huge amount of well-spiced, meaty jerk pork for 12 bucks. Rice was a little bland but still a great deal.
Quite possibly the rudest person I ve ever met operating a business. I hear the patties are good, I m sure they are. The jerk chicken is mid and certainly not worth dealing with that woman for it! I would have gave one star, but I ve eaten a few times from here so clearly it s not the worst.
Decent patty with a lot of meat. Terrible jerk. Bad rice. Microwaved unfortunately. Food
Omg best patties Ive ever had!! So stuffed and fresh flavor
I ve been going to this place for the last 3 years for patties and recently discovered they have chicken patties which are pretty good. I asked for a chicken patty today, and she gave me a vegetable. I had taken one bite to discover this. When I went back and told her she gave me a veggie instead of a chicken, she tried to sell me a beef pattie and said she didn t have chicken! I took the beef said thanks and walked away (surely she didn t want the veggie pattie I d just bought and taken a bite from back!). She yelled at me hey hey hey! and she said give that back and I told her I already took a bite out of it. She said doesn t matter.. and then mumbled something under her breath. It was her mistake for giving me a vegetable pattie in the first place. I don t even like the veggie one. It was really upsetting and I ll never go back. I used to think she was just adorably grumpy but now I just think she is mean.
She is the real deal. Patties are mind blowingly good. Shes been making these for decades, so you know shes put in her 10,000 hours. Warning: they are big!
Great food
Food was incredible I cant lie but just a tad to experience... Just because of the price I wouldnt go back .... But I ask the you check it out yourself and make a judgment call on your own ......
Patties are just OK, not really worth $4 something. Lacked salt and flavour in pastry and filling. If you are going to spend that much on a patty it better be amazing.
Loved it! Would go back for sure next time I m in town.
I had the curry chicken roti on recommendation from a previous co-worker who said everything at this place was excellent. I ll never listen to that person every again. I had the curry chicken roti. Here are a few notable things: 1. The roti itself was not actually a roti. It was a store bought soft shell tortilla. 2. The food itself had all manner of strange ingredients that just did not go well together. If you re expecting your typical chana, potato, curry chicken roti then stay far far away. 3. The dish itself was incredibly sweet, and almost had the flavour of baby food. If you re looking for the tangy, savoury and spicy flavours of a typical curry chicken roti, stay far far away. 4. The chicken itself was quite bland, almost as if it was cooked in a separate pot itself and not really seasoned. 5. It was placed in a container and essentially looked like a sloppy mess rather than a nicely wrapped roti. In hindsight, this makes sense given it was not in fact accompanied by an actual roti shell. 6. I would likely have not complained about the wait if the food was actually good, but waiting for 20 minutes when you re the only person there and they essentially just dumped food onto a soft shelled tortilla just seems egregious. I d give it zero stars if I could, but I cannot. Would not go back. That said, the lady working there was nice.
By far, BEST BEEF PATTIES, hands down! If you have not tried these, you must take time out of your day and go and get these. The owner is soo nice too.
*review only applies to when u get it piping fresh STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING I AM ONE OF THE BIGGEST FOODIES IN TORONTO, its hard to blow my mind. this patty certainly the best patty in all of toronto. she hand makes EVERYTHING, the flavor exploded colors in my eyes. SOOO much filling, sobflavorful, amazingly flaky patty. WOW I am going to only come here from now on since I ONLY like to eat good food. thank you for existing!! DELICIOUS!
Amazing Jerk and Patties
Amazing place, Never had a patty this rich before! Lady working there was really nice as well 10/10
The Meat patty is WELL stuffed. It is twice the price of another spots patty but for GOOD reason. THe meat is legit juicy and alittle sweet. Good stuff. The Veggie patty is even more massive and you can taste ACTUALLY veggies in it. Its not just mush. Again, price point is more but hey if u want a HEARTY patty go for it.
Great patties. Great jazz music too!
The Pattie s were amazing fresh and juicy but the oxtail on the other had was a waste of my money, it had no seasoning and tasted as if it had be microwaved for that I m only giving a 3 star
The beef patty had a lot of filling, flavoured but crusts weren t flaky for $4 that s too much. The chicken patty was a whopping $5 and it had a huge piece of chicken stuffed inside while some parts were grounded. Wouldn t return!
Best patties in Toronto!
This place needs to be shut down I bought tow patty s and it smelt stale and it was 4 dollars it was so hard and taste horrible what a waste of money I had to throw that in the trash sorry but your patties taste bad and you guys can t dash weh dem old furniture dem and Mek di place smell nice lawd god there s cob web under the chair dem and in deh smell like hospital
Best beef patty we ve ever had.
Love this place for Jamaican patty
Delicious patties, lots of filling and really flavourful.
Just purchased our first beef Pattie s from Caribbean Queen OMG - they won t be our last. Delicious!
BEST AUTHENTIC, BEEF PATTIES IN TORONTO!!!! Love, love these delicious patties! Theyre SO fresh, SO hearty, SO tasty and SO authentic.
Im a local in the area. Ive never had a great experience here. The last time I came to this place, the woman wouldnt even come out from the back and explain any of the prices to me. The food Ive recieved was stale and dry. As a local that has lived here for over 20 years, Jerk King is a 10 min walk east to Dufferin. Its cheaper and better quality. Queen of stale patties and stale attitude.
The Best Patty. Full of flavour, you can taste every ingredient in the beef patty and the crust is perfectly flaky. Worth every dollar!
Filling was good, crust was very dry. $4.20 for a dry beef patty is a bit too much in my opinion. You can find better for cheaper in Toronto.
Really good beef patty
Terrible first experience because of the unpleasant manner I was spoken to when I asked for a fresh pattie in place of the seemingly over done and dry one I was being served. I decided to dine somewhere else. I will not return.
Amazing place! I ve been coming here for years (when it was across the street as well). Recently had the Curry Goat which was simply the best! This is a one woman operation, so show some love and appreciation instead of some of these entitled comments on here. Prices are going up everywhere and we have to support this institution. If you love the Queen, she will love you back! Respect!
Food smelled good but customer service was atrocious after my cousin ordered and payed for patties (not enough for our group) I decided to order 3 combos was told by old lady you should ve ordered together never mind you re paying separately make life easy. After two gentlemen behind me were served their patties and payed before fulfilling my order decided to walk out sometimes life is hard especially when dealing with separate bills and orders NEVER AGAIN felt pretty insulted please save your money go somewhere more pleasant.
The beef patties will fill you up
Good food but not very clean also the price are on higher side
Not great :( curry chicken, chicken was really tuff. Dang. I wanted to love this place.
Such tasty patties!
Amazing patties with the best filling!
Best patty I have ever had! Most expensive but its worth it!
Wow just WoW the best patties in Toronto!
Great patties, filling had the perfect level of spicy, crust was flaky and delicious.
What a disgusting experience!!! When I walked into this place, I asked the lady behind the counter if the patty came with coco bread. A simple question because I have never been there before. She went on to say to me, what do you want. Without answering my question so I asked again. She then rudely said what kind of questions is that you come from the sky. Your a black person you should know. I told her not to speak to me like. She continued to repeat her words. With no regard. That women should not be working in customer service at all. If she is the own that is a shame. Doesnt matter if Im black that should never be a point to assume someones ethnicity. This is why I stay away from places like this most of the time the have no manner or respect towards paying customers. I asked the two patrons(Caucasian) dining at the time if they were ever treated in this manner and they said shes never spoken to them like that. I dont understand why she was so disrespectful towards me. Even when she was speaking in such a rude manner I still chose not to be rude and disrespectful. Never in my life. You need to do better disgusting!!! Savel mentality
Patties are fantastic when fresh. But that price point has always made it hard to fully enjoy.
Yeah, shes a big character but I have yet to find a better spot for caribbean food. Until then, Im content with traveling an hour to get the best jerk and patties in the city. Her sassy attitude is part of the experience. [Nov. 2022 update] I went for the first time since Covid to grab a patty on the way...my god its so good. Best patty in Toronto. Will be going back for the oxtail soon. I missed this spot.
Really great patties
best jerk pork in the city - and I usually order the jerk pork at Caribbean places. I was surprised because the place is named after patties but Damn the pork is good. tbh I didnt get a pattie because it was $4 but I will the next time I go back.
Go somewhere else!
Best patty iv had since i was in Jamaica
She is a dedicated owner who has a great sense of humour. Good beef patties
Definitely would recommend the jerk pork rice and the beef patty..
The atmosphere is super cozy, like you are just about to come and put your feet up next to the fire while your mother makes you a bowl of stew. The beef patties are a staple and nothing else in the city holds a candle! (fight me ttc station stands)
I dont even know where to begin. Everytime I would walk in, and wait to be serviced, she would see me but not respond or acknowledge me. Still, I would wait for those patties. Ive noticed on multiple occasions she changes the price without notice. And Ive watched her speak in a professional manner to Caucasian customers and when its my turn, she speaks in a rude tone of voice and says what do you want?As if Im bothering her and wasting her time. The last straw for me was on two occasions I saw that she had patties in stock, when I asked to buy 2, she said shes ran out and it would be an hour til the next ones are ready. When I pointed out the 4 on display, she said it was put aside for another customer (bogus excuse). Considering this has happened twice and the way she treats non-Caucasian customers, it is not a coincidence. I will never step foot in this place, not worth the rudeness, disrespect and hate. Save your time, effort and money and wait til Fahmee Bakery reopens in the Junction area.
Hands down the best patties
By far the best patties I ever had. $4 each but compared to all the $1 patty places it s like comparing Swanson meat pies to a well made homemade meat pie, it s not even close. The crust, the fresh spice mix, the meat, man they are good. I bought a box of 6 and it feels like it weighs 5 pounds
Best patties. I like to order for special occasions. Definite crowd pleaser.
Kinda sweet for patties but not bad
The worst food Ive ever had and way over priced for such awful food tookb2 bits had to throw it out she should be ashamed to sell such awful food no taste to the food
Seriously the best thicc patties ever! Both the veggie and beef were absolutely delicious.
Amazing patties! THE WEBSITE IS A DIFFERENT BUSINESS MAKING MONEY FROM THE ORGINAL SHOP. THE AWARD WINNING PATTIES ARE FROM THE SHOP FROM A LOVELY OLDER LADY WHO TAKES ORDERS OVER THE PHONE. SHE IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE BUSINESS ON THE WEBSITE. I have ordered from both and thats how we figured it out and spoke to the owner. The patties in shop are 10/10 and pattyqueen (different business) are 7/10 but want to rate lower due to the shady antics of being associated with this business and making orders from home.
Best Pattys in the GTA. You might have to wait but its always fresh.
Best patties in the city and the owner is the sweetest lady.
Best veggie rotis in the city, by a landslide. The flavours are incredible, its a little different every time, overflowing with fresh, delicious veggies! Veggie patties are incredible too. Love the queen!
This lady has had the same great quality of food since I was in high school. Shes sincerely one of the best places to grab some of the most incredible Caribbean food youll ever eat. And her patties are amazing!!
Four years ago I would have said this place was absolutely amazing. However everything has slowly been declining. Their beef patties have indefinitely changed. Their jerk chicken and jerk pork has almost always been dry or tough. The quality of their meats and their hand in cooking has steadily declined. The flavour and quality is dropping as their prices continue to climb. Its unfortunate as I used to rave about this place. But to be quite frank. Its not worth the hype it once had.
THEIR PATTIES ARE THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD!!!!! So delicious, must try!!!
Delicious home made patties with a nice spicy kick.
I find the 1 star reviews by millennial cry babies hilarious. I ordered here for the first time and found the patties to be delicious. Yes the woman who runs this place can be a little temperamental. But you are entering an establishment literally called Queen of Patties Just follow the ordering procedure and youll be fine. Walk in, say hello. Once she responds, say I would like to order.... then pick something from the menu that is written down on the board. I ordered patties and fried plantain. Even though the fried plantain was on the menu she said I would have to make the plantain I said thats ok ill just take the patties I then paid and left.
For 10 pattys a cost of 40 dollars is so bad there taste isnt worth 2 dollars a patty never return
Delicious food, love both the oxtail and jerk pork
Seriously the best beef patty I ve ever had. Stuffed to the brim, perfect spice level and crispy on the outside! I will definitely be coming back for more.
Good food. Real Caribbean experience. Don t go if in a rush.
My roti came in a soft tortilla shell...
Google is generous for letting people not put 0 stars. Those had to be the worst patties I ve ever consumed. Millennial or not, seasoning the patty filling should be the bare minimum if you are going to call yourself Queen of anything. Plus the prices are wild $4/patty. You are better off learning to make it on your own as that would have more love inside of it then this attempt of high degree fraud.
Awesome taste
very quaint ambient place with a homey feel. Not fancy but comfortable. Food was delicious. I got curry Chicken Roti. first time there. will go again.
Been going to this place for years and Georgina cracks me up. So, if you want great food with a side of shade, its the place for you! But, if you cant handle auntie being the character she is, well then...youll miss out on some amazing patties
Hands the best patties I have ever had downtown. The meat is juicy and spicy and the dough is amazing.
Came in for a patty and it happened to be one of the best Ive ever had. How this has less than a 4 star is a mystery to me.
These are one of the BEST patties in Toronto. The filling is REAL. She is a very nice lady. If you think otherwise, youre a snowflake. End of story.
The patties here are undeniably delicious. However, at nearly 4 bucks a pop it seems just far too steep for what youre getting. The patties themselves are very very well filled and quite thick.
Georgina is amazing, and her product reflects the love she puts into it. Delicious Queen!
Best patties in town, bit pricey
4 dollars for a patty? If you want an overpriced snack and a rude Jamaican lady, this your place. I will never come here again. I could look past the price for moment, but customer service is king (queen) and this woman deserves no crown nor the title queen. BYE!!!
Georgina got the Bess patties and goat curry in town. Show some respect!
Caribbean Queen of Patties is truly the queen. If you think youve had the best pattie in Toronto but it wasnt from here, get yourself over to CQ asap. Dont forget the coco bread.
Best Jamaican pattys around. Hours are unpredictable, so either call first, or dont get your knickers in a twist if its not open (when it should be). The owner is a character.
It was lunch time, and we were hungry for something spicy. We had heard about this place, and as it was on our way home, decided to give it a try. Quite disappointed in this adventure. The patties were dry and oh so bland. As well, she charged my husband $8 for 2 patties!!!! Probably the most expensive bit of mediocrity I ve had in my life!
One of the best patties Ive had. Got to try them
Oxtail was really good, amazing patties.. I can see why they are called Caribbean Queen of Patties. Craaaazy good.. everything tasted to perfection! Thank you
The patty that is served here is worth every penny.
There s copious amount of meat in the patties, so for $4 it s worth every penny. Also, Georgina is actually quite funny.
Best patties I ever had! Homemade
Honestly the best patties Ive had, tons of flavour and lots of meat. The owner is super nice, will definitely be back for more :)
Food is bomb! The coconut drops look amazing ill have to try them next time
Best patties in Toronto!
Go for the sandwich, the patties and the roti. Georgina is a sweet woman.
service is awful and the lady did not care that there are customers in the shop....would love to try the food but it seems is not avalable to everyone ...really disspointed
Best patties in Toronto
Weve enjoyed the beef patties from here for over 15 years!
The queen of Bloor Street has the best patties in town, bar none.
Not only is she the queen of patties, she is also the queen of Bloordale. Her long reign in the culinary industry is not one of fame or fortune, but of quality, consistency, and authenticity. If you enjoy jazz, good food, and outstanding service, you ll love Queen of Patties. Long live the queen.
Best patties and curry chicken Ive ever had! This is the spot.
The patties here are ok, they are extremly filled -not like patties from any other place can compare. The service is ok long wait to get food when no one else was in the store, that was awkward. She can be rude at times but at times shes ok. Good food though I use to go all the time but maybe got tired of it.
the best caribbean food i ever tasted! casa casa casa
LOVE LOVE LOVE her patties, food and her. Ive been going here since 2011. When I used to live in the area, Id come here once a week to buy them, even though Ive moved a bit further, I still make the time to come here to pick up her patties. Her patties are INCREDIBLE. Whenever my friends are in town or I meet someone new, I always take them to her joint or recommend they go to her spot.
We adore everything about this place but before we tell you about the food we need to tell you about how we discovered Georginas wonderful resto. We were huge fans of a Bloordale Village coffee shop called Holy Oak (which is, alas, no longer in business) and one day while sipping our coffee and people watching we noticed that a number of taxis were pulling up to a small storefront across the street. The drivers - all of whom could reasonably be surmised to be of Caribbean descent - would jump out, run into the resto, and emerge with their take-away bags. As this continued we made a vow that we were going to check out this apparent favourite. Once we did we never looked back. Georgina - the owner and chef - makes amazing food. And while the restaurants name mentions the iconic Jamaican street snack one shouldnt miss her other Jamaican specialities. Her goat and oxtail dishes (whether roti or with rice and beans) are amazing, as are her jerk chicken and roasted pork offerings. Portions are generous (a platter of any of her rice and beans dishes always provides another meal the day after) and the food is consistently delicious. This is not a fancy place. Ambience is not what keeps us - and many others - coming back. This is a place where the focus in on the food, and on the love and passion with which its prepared. Its possible to find equally authentic Jamaican food in Toronto, but its impossible to find better. And in the end thats what matters.
Delicious affordable home made food with very generous portions! Beef and veggie patties are super authentic and flavourful, hot and ready on the spot.
Amazing food, really great woman who runs and makes everything. Very underrated and worth a regular visit.
Ive been eating at Queen Georginas restaurant for years now, the food , all of it, is excellent, the prices reflect that, if youre looking for a 1$ patty - wrong place, move on. Only the best ingredients and care in preparing them., you get what you pay for (hard pass on a 1$ patty) all the menu options are fantastic and served up with a little sass and a lot or personality , that might not for some - but hold your tongue and taste the food !
My first experience at Caribbean Queen of Patties was not a pleasant one. The customer service of the Queen of Patties is the worst I have ever encountered. She needs training on how to address customers and welcome them into the business. The hostility that I was met with was very disappointing. The Queen of patties did not greet me at all and remained seated behind the patty heater the entire time. I asked what the special for the day was and she began to rant about Christmas and how I should read the board and not ask questions. This surprised me as that is a common question asked at a restaurant. I hope this is not a normal occurrence as this will seriously impact the business. Management I ask that you look into this matter. I m sure the actions of the Queen of Patties is not reflective of the business. This is the time where customers are looking to support small business so I urge you to have people at the front of the restaurant that will attract customers and not turn them away.
Patties are some of the best in the city
Delicious food. Owner is interesting, but she makes delicious food.
Overpriced trash with a side of slow, very rude service!
The food is nice, the cook is very friendly (Jamaican kindness) although if you re not from a Jamaican background you ll probably think she is rude, but it s not rudeness, she s firm and kind.
I used to go here and really enjoyed her food. Her food has always been good and above average but her customer service is sub par. Customer service is king. She treats her white customers with joy and admiration when they walk in. Ive seen it. While she treats her black and Caribbean customers (like me) like they are bothering her by walking into her establishment. Ive seen it too. She snapped on me one day because I told her that I was in a bit of a rush. She moves like molasses. I wont patron this restaurant again.
Legit dont do these reviews, but for Georginas patties, I will happily cross an ocean. Amazing food from an amazing woman!
Consistently excellent Caribbean food! Best patties in the city, delicious jerk chicken and these unique nut fudge clusters for dessert. An assortment of malt beverages and other tropical sodas too.
Their portions are really small compared to their competition. Jerk chicken is dry and not that flavourful.
Best Roti, best jerk chicken, best patties in the city and best I ever had. Some people have complained about customer service, but they got it wrong. She loves her food, and loves people more than anyone on bloor west. You just gotta look deeper.
Georgina is Queen of Patties. Never disappointing and any party that Ive had they have been the first thing that disappears. My co-workers love them too. Was nice when I lived steps away but now living in Mississauga hard to get to :( But still worth the occasional drive
The food is always GREAT!!!!!!!!
I love baby girl.... $2.50 minimum tip... Even on a Pattie... Worth every penny.... Lol.
Good patties. Service could be better but the food is worth it
Huge amounts of delicious food for reasonable prices. The wait is so, so very worth it. I come here every time Im in the neighborhood.
Great patties; but each time I go here, the prices have increased exponentially. On my most recent visit, I paid $7.00 for a patty and a can of coke zero; seems a bit outrageous.
Best patties in town! Hands down.
Sometimes you have to wait, but its really good the patties
It s chill the lady is cool and the food is not bad
Amazing!!! Tremendous food and wonderful service. I had the goat and it fell off the bone, absolutely delicious. Also idk what these other people are saying because I tried my friends chicken and it wasnt dry! Similarly, I did not find her rude at all, she is very familiar with her customers and direct in a way that Canadians perceive as rude (for no reason) as it is just a cultural difference.
