Jerk King in Toronto

Best Jamaican food ever

Mucho expensive, but hands down the best spot for patties. The customer service is good.

Worst restaurant i have ever seen i wouldn t recommend you to go there. Not good atmosphere and service is poor. Wait time is horrible

Saw their food in a tiktok video and immediately had to try it with a friend. We both liked there jerk chicken very authentic very season. Definitely my new go to spot

Shitty service and attitude. Ok food. This is one of those places where you go if you want jerk chicken asap and don t know any other place I came a couple times and generally it s ok food and ok service. Last time the person serving the food just had an attitude. Kept saying no this no that and then actually fixed it. I asked for boneless jerk, she said it s one size large. And then gave me a medium take out box!! I complained and her boss said to do large. The trashy audacity to charge for large and give medium. Then she gave me 2 pieces for a large meal. And the girl before me got 2 pieces for a small. Again, I told her how many pieces per box and she came up with another excuse, boneless is only two pieces but none is large is four . There are way better jerk chicken spots in Toronto, I was really craving it last minute and I was in the area. But definitely not coming back.

Food is decent but depending on the time that you come in, sometimes the rice and jerk chicken dont taste fresh (probably a couple days old since its not very busy)

Foods gross. Worker is rude. Eating from here is an Ediottt ting

You dont come here for environment or customer service, the food slaps. Dont get too crazy; stick with the jerk and fried chicken. So good. 2023 update: still as good as ever. Prices keep going up though, like everything in life. 2024 update: new ownership or new employees or something? Its no good now. Reducing my score.

Dsoni is the best best service you give her raise best food and best service I won t come if she s not working

I miss the old patties where did they go? Food consistincy is all over the place, and if you order from them on uber eats and they are out of something instead cancelling your order or updating you they just send whatever you want regardless of your dietary, religious, or other restictions.

Why the F do you have a number listed when you dont pick up.

Like your food... However, Cold slaw... loaded with mayonnaise.. unhealthy... Go easy on the mayonnaise Please also have WHITE RICE as an option Was there yesterday...rice was overcooked/soggy Like that rice in particular...a hit grainy/less cooked

Cheap and quick place for a filling meal. Chicken falls right off the bone and the rice and beans with gravy is delicious.

Great food

Food is fine but service is extremely miserable! I dont think people are good for food business if they dont care about customers! I was mostly buying Jerk chicken from Dufferin shop but I saw this and wanted to give a try. There hands are so tight in filling the plate, as if they are counting the rice . I ordered large jerk chicken and rice was lesser than small. Moreover, if you ask to change one piece, they will ask for extra dollar, what to say, this is their way. My mood was so spoiled that I went to Dufferin to get another one. I just hope they understand that food industry is more than just good food.

Really good place to get some good Carribean food. Their jerk chicken is really good but I would also suggest the bbq chicken and curry chicken. The portion sizes are quite decent with value for money. Shoutout to the aunty who works there, she is really sweet and nice.

best jerk chicken in the coty

The food was really well priced. Had the oxtail and the Moss. Where they lack is the service, everything is quick and generously portioned but the staff was not very inviting, felt rushed even though I was alone in the shop. The place is mostly for takeout cause the inside is just super hot. Otherwise, all good!

Did you folks change the coleslaw recipe ??

I ordered a meal and the coleslaw and plus the rice tased old.. I ended up throwing out the food after paying over $25 dollars on food

I packed jerk chicken and salad. When I got home, the salad was spoiled and I wanted to go back and get a new salad, but they said they didnt have any salad ready and just gave me a refund. The salad here was really delicious, but it was disappointing.

Subject: Unpleasant Experience with Spoiled Coleslaw Last week, I ordered extra coleslaw with Medium Jerk Chicken. Unfortunately, when I tasted the coleslaw, I had to spit it out immediately as it had gone bad. When I returned to the store to address the issue, the woman at the counter did not offer any apology but rather stinky attitude. This lack of concern for customer satisfaction was quite disappointing. Given this unpleasant experience, I am hesitant to return to your store. I hope you can take steps to ensure such incidents do not happen in the future.

Food is good but they are super rude. Gave me the wrong size of plate when I asked for a large, refused to charge me the difference. I d suggest going to a different jerk king. Just disrespectful and lazy people. Got my money back tho.

Pretty average

Great food, but inhumane treatment to customers and workers. Insanely hot inside restaurants, almost 30 degrees. Extremely unbearably. Kind request to owner to invest in A/C please and thank you

Got poised last month by eating raw bbq chicken (didn t recognize at the beginning). And spent 3 days after to recover from that. Please review your cooking process!

The jerk chicken is very good.

First time here!!! And the food is just so great!!! The flavour just melts in my mouth, like the chicken is so tender!! The coleslaw is amazing by itself or mixed it with rice!! Definitely recommend this place!!

I have been going here for years. Great jerk chicken.

Food is great but quite over priced! It cost almost $50 for an oxtail meal and curry goat meal.

Very bad customer service. Really wouldn t recommend coming here. Got my one plate of chicken after an hour and it wasn t that busy

I want you to go out baby. I want you to go out with your friends and your partner. get in to an argument and break up. chain smoke 3 danglers outside a bar and head over to Jerk king. Get a small Jerk Chicken dinner with a dumpling and forget any of it happened. The sweet caress of your lost love is far behind you. drown your sorrow in the coleslaw. let the rice comfort you. let the dumpling absorb your tears. get in an uber. sleep in. call in sick. clean your house and start the next part of your life. Beyond the horizon is destiny. You dont need them honey. they fooled you in to thinking you were nothing without them but the truth is you can be everything without anyone and thats what scares them. Someone told you that you were gonna be somebody someday the fact is you were always somebody. the Bathurst location is better than the Dufferin location.

Chicken was mushy and disgusting the sauce on the rice gave me diarrhea nasty food

Always delivers the best jerk chicken!!

Absolutely fantastic bang for your buck - the portions are super generous and the flavours are really nice and bold. I got a boneless chicken order with rice and peas and oxtail gravy. The flavours are fantastic and you ll get enough for two meals! As an added bonus, they are open late! Take your late night (or any time at all) cravings here, and you wont be disappointed.

Oxtails on point ! Really friendly service.

The only good part is that its open. The food is mediocre, prices are average, staff seem abused, and theres a charge for using cards, but no discount for cash. Food : 1/5

Open pass 12am and portions are generous.

Authentic and amazing portions!

Jerk Chicken was very tasty!

Best carribbean food! Authentic taste and great portion

Food was very mid. We ordered 5 meals and no one was really happy with theirs.

Had the oxtail it had no flavor at all no wonder they give you so much

Real Good food. Never disappointed. I feel nourished. Thank you for your service

cheap, good, huge portions, open late

Ummm I got the jerk chicken roti and almost laughed at what I got ! It should be called a potato and hard chick pea roti! 95% bland potato and hard chick pea ! 5% jerk chicken . Shame

Usually visit with friends. Open hours are great. Food us tastey and fresh. Love the Jerk and curry chicken here!! Great options to choose from!!

Rude costumer service there is some home drunk guy in the store asking patrions for their change and the veggie meal taste awful and might get u sick I got food poisoning for it

excellent portion size & tasty food every time. always get jerk chicken & rice and some plantain and its very delicious

I went here on Sunday to get my meals for the work week (5 days) and ordered 2 large jerk chickens for about $16 each. It tasted pretty good and was quite a generous weight at 1.13kg for one. I will always support you guys thank you.

I take out goat curry with rice tonight. The goat tastes bitter!!! Oh god!!! Ive tried so many goat curries around the world!! It never tasted like this one!!! I tried to reach them several times by phone call. No one picked up the call! Totally waste of money. Super disappointed!

Best jerk chicken in Toronto

Got a thigh w a coleslaw side. I m ded - so good.

The food is bomb of all the jamaican west Indian stores in the city this 1 is my favorite the staff are just ok some are better then others they dont always seem attentive to the customer in front of them but a lot of the times consumed with the many food prep activities they have to do.

Love this place, food is great, big portions!!

Unreal chicken + fast service. Coming again.

Always great!

It s always the best experience when Andrea is working! So friendly and the food is great!

Only got the jerk chicken but everything here looks so good and the lady is so sweet, offered us plates to share, and always keeping the tables clean. And i love the jerk gravy on the rice. Maybe could use a bigger coleslaw serving or more beans in the rice.

the jerk chicken meal really jerked me :)

I got the boneless jerk chicken and it was amazing

super rude staff. 0/10. cussed at me & was very rude.

Decent for a late nite spot Ive had better oxtail sory

Really good food

Rice fresh, good portions.

Jerk Chicken was very flavourful and tasty! Plantain was also amazing. Definitely gonna come back.

very polite and kind service. tasty food, delicious! I recommend having this experience

Jerk chicken breast with the spicy sauce is great.

Best item is the coleslaw here.

I discovered this place years ago working nearby. Ill drive here from Burlington just for the jerk chicken patty and jerk dinner. Best place Ive ever had jerk.

Stopped by for lunch. Was great. Will come again

This place so much better than the other jerk chicken place near by. Best food ever

Went in for dinner yesterday. Judy was very friendly. Food was fresh. Ordered Jerk Chicken, Rice n Peas, Plantain , and Coleslaw. Food was fresh. However, the chicken was not spicy and well seasoned. Maybe Jerk King is starting cater to mainstream dietary needs.

Not a good location i saw rats in the store

Not tasty,

This place has dropped massively in quality. They have started calling pieces of backs with no meat a piece of chicken at and raised prices at the same time. They have lost a longtime customer. Farewell.

Midnight snack favourite. The jerk chicken is perfect but something about the coleslaw....wow! Wish I could just order a few boxes of coleslaw!

One of the best carribean spots in the city.

They charged me 44 $ , but I m missing 2 items in my order

One of the best jerk chicken in town. They burn the skin though which sucks if you re into that. I usually peel it off anyways

What has changed is the price and available size for curry goat and oxtail. Only one size is available. Service is great though.

Good food and amazing portions for the price!

Amazing foood the rice peas & jerk with oxtail gravy

The bathroom is unavailable for customers, as a result I couldnt wash my hands. How am I to enjoy my Jerk Chicken without using my bare hands?

Best jerk chicken and rice and peas in the city! We tried all different types from jerk to bbq to fried chicken and everything was super flavourful chicken was juicy and tender! You can choose from sizes small/medium/large and will vary in pieces all meals come with side of coleslaw. For less than $4 make sure to get a side of plantains, and a spicy beef patty! There s also lots of seating available for dine in or take out.

Went there for ubereats pickup. Everytime they want me to wait before they hand me the order which is ready until they are done with the customers. Such a stupid thing!

The coleslaw is rotten almost every time I go. It smells, sour and taste incredibly gross. It s only started happening within the last few months or pretty much after the renovation.

Disgusting how the old lady treats people, 100% lost a customer, been going here for 5+ years. What a shame. Never had problem with other staff but the old lady.

really glad i have this spot close to home so that i can always get my fix of carribean food at basically any time of day/night. their portions are generous and well worth the price and they always have a wide selection. they also have the best coleslaw ive ever had, i always buy extra of it. its sweet and creamy and goes so well with a spicier dish like the jerk chicken.

I ve lived in Toronto long enough to know that these guys have always been good to me, but as of recent months, I can tell straight up whenever I come here around 1:30 to 2:30 AM. None of the workers listen to anything that you re saying none of them comply to any of your requests or remember what you ve asked for in your order I always walk away, realizing that I haven t gotten anything that I ve asked for during my ordering process, fix up.

im addicted to jerk king Wheelchair accessibility: Not accessible- theres steps to the front door Food : 5/5 Recommended dishes

I hardly recommend this restaurant to get food later at night or early morning like 2 am Ive been there twice a little drunk And the chicken is great the women working hard there are very kind. Thanks so much.

Best jerk chicken in the city. Large portions, perfect level of spice and flavour.

If you re in the area you should stop by ! Amazing place, tasty food, great prices and friendly staff ! Always going there

Best jerk in toronto

I Was downtown for Caribana and I was looking for good Jamaican restaurant to get some dinner. I searched on Google and found this place. Came here and I had to park on the street. As soon I walked in the customer service was friendly I ordered 5 meals. 4 jerk and 1 bbq with rice and peas. They didn t take long to get my order I paid and went home. My 1st mistake was not opening my food at the restaurant and checking it. They gave me 4 meals with rice and chicken but one meal just had rice no chicken. The food was well cooked serving of rice is very little Even for a medium size. Inside the restaurant the space is limited to sit and eat. It s best to order and take out but make sure you check your order before you leave. But I recommend trying other restaurants in the area. Parking: They only have parking on the street and it s paid.

Always a great place to eat. Authentic jerk * chefs kiss*

Grilled spicy sweet deep flavour chicken skin, juicy soft chicken meat, real good

The food was pretty good, portions were respectable. No heat on the jerk but otherwise a yummy meal.

Absolutely amazing. Every single time. And more importantly, the people running this place are beautiful people. Love this place Food

Unassuming place to grab jerk chicken and other caribbean goodies. My go-to is a large jerk chicken with rice & peas and coleslaw for $18 incl tax and its good for at least 2 meals (for a petite gyal ;-) Service is always friendly, good proportion of chicken and rice; cole slaw is the perfect amount of creamy.

Not sure what to make of this restaurant, I ordered the curry roti got home and opened it to find jerk. Box was heavy but that was due to all the potatoes. Chicken was dry, beef patty was good, wouldn t say I had a bad experience but also wouldn t say it was a good one.

Mmmm... the jerk chicken sandwich I had was so good. Bun was fresh, jerk chicken flavorful and tender, coleslaw was nice. Would definitely go back!

Best jerk chicken!

This place is proper! The flavour from the scotch bonnets is perfectly balancing spice heat and flavour. Always the jerk chicken rice and peas with oxtail gravy. Get on it!

Nice place for a quick bite to eat or drink.

The food Reminds me of Jamaica

Large jerk chicken plate always hits the spot

Convenient, great value and delicious!

This place was alright! Ordered a large jerk chicken dinner and they gave me FIVE pieces of chicken to bloodclaaat! She just kept piling it on! With money so tight these days, it was nice to see a restaurant not upping the prices while skimping on the portions. And the server was super friendly. Fantastic service.

To die for !! So good

Great price for great food. Portion sizes are huge and the food is really delicious. Would definitely recommend for quick pickup or dine in.

The best! Fresh ground ginger in their curry chicken!

5 stars. Big portion plate with tasty jerk and coleslaw. Open late.. can t go wrong

Bbq chicken is good

It s a nice mediocre place. I ve definitely had better but for it being open until 4am it s pretty fire

A Caribbean restaurant. I ordered jerk chicken. You can choose between regular barbecue sauce or spicy barbecue sauce. You can choose a side menu with rice & coleslaw or salad. The chicken was quite large, so just one serving was enough to fill me up. Nice Caribbean restaurant! I ordered jerk chicken. You can choose the taste from regular barbecue or spicy barbecue sauce. Also, you can choose the side menu with rice & coleslaw or salad. The chicken was so big that I was quite full with just one serving.

Got the jerk chicken wrap. Huge portion for $15.60 including tax. It lasted 2 meals for me. Huge portions of meat inside, a potato, and extra veggie filling. The gravy was flavourful and had a slight kick. Staff was friendly. I will definitely be returning.

Prices used to be really good but due to inflation it has gone up quite a bit. The portions are big and the jerk chicken is really good. I always get it with ox tail gravy and extra on the side.

so miserable

Food was ok but had an issue with each item. The side of plantain I ordered was cut in a weird way. Rather than it being sliced length wise or across the width in thin or medium slices, it was like a whole plantain cut into 4 pieces along the bias. It was difficult to eat because it was so thick, so I ate one piece and decided I could slice the rest up and re-fry it. The sandwich was tasty and messy (a good thing) but the coco bread was dry. The patty was ok, but I probably wouldnt buy it again. I wasnt keen on the pastry or the seasoning of the meat. Overall, I would probably do the sandwich if I was in the mood and Id definitely choose it over Scotty Bons down the street.

My favorite jerk chicken in the city. Ive been eating here for over 10 years. The amazing recipe is consistent.

There is no better jerk around, period. My girl has never tried jerk before and said multiple times its the BEST chicken she has ever tried. The prices are on point too! 10 outta 10 would recommend to a friend.

Lit

their jerk chicken roti is amazing. so flavourful and amazing portions, and fantastic price. multiple meals in one. excellent for your neighbour, wife, ex wife, husband, ex husband, grandma and pa, all three of your children, and everyone you know.

The jerk chicken was amazing and had great portions. Would definitely recommend

GAS

This is my absolute favourite place for jerk chicken and #1 in my opinion in the GTA. I always make it a point to come here whenever Im in the area. The jerk chicken is seasoned perfectly, tastes delicious, and the portions are very generous. The chicken they use is also nicely sized and not overly large like other restaurants. The jerk chicken dinner comes with rice and peas, along with cole slaw, which is nice and creamy. The mild gravy is nice, but I definitely recommend getting the spicy gravy if you can handle heat!

Food is always consistent. However, food portions are not as consistent and service can also improve...

Bruhhhhh this some good jerk chicken

Lunch was great but the place has limited seating

Wow. The service here tonight was horrendous. The girl working the reception was extremely rude and us the online order had priority over us. I have been coming here for years and anytime the guy with long hair works, everything goes smoothly and there are no issues. But anytime this girl works, she makes me never want to come back and this is what I ve been hearing from many others. Food is great but her working there is enough for myself and my friends to never come back.

Stew chicken is the best in the city.

I ve never been so disappointed in the quality of the go I received it tasted like rubber very chewy and extremely loaded with bone which usually wouldn t be a concern except for the way the portions for the meals which means all that bone broth me pretty much no meat also the Two mango carrot bottles that I purchased are rotten they literally taste like rotten mangos I m not sure if they left in the sun or watt but I ve never been more disappointed I do not recommend this kitchen I don t recommend the way they store the things an awful meal I must say

The most incredible fried plantains you will ever eat, hands down. Everything else great too.

Solid portions, always adds tons of gravy and their coleslaw is amazong! They are killing it! Also open late which is fantasic after a long busy day

Thank you for existing, I always feel better after eating the jerk chicken <3

Great food and friendly staff , I eat here often and the quality is always there. A must if your in the area

Food was delicious but the server was very rude. Went first time so did not know what to order and she did not have the patience to answer any questions.

My go to fast eats, solid portions and good service. Sure the prices arnt as cheap but what hasnt gone up these days. Pay for good food

Food is great but we never feel welcome once inside, doesn t matter which day and which person is there, they re clearly unhappy to work there!

This location was great, the lady who took my order was very nice and had a pleasant demeanour. I had the large special of rice and peas with chicken aha and it came with cole slaw. I didn t get a picture of this but it tasted so good. I also ordered a Jamaican beef patty which was also fresh and tasty. 10/10 would recommend!

Don t be mistaken with the appearance! The food is amazing and is fresh. The chicken falls of the bone and is marinated very well and the spicy sauce (not that spicy) is a must to have with the rice. Would highly recommend this place.

I use to go this location daily even sometimes twice a day but today there is lady she was very rude with me I think it would be mine last visit here

The best jerk chicken in town!!

Great food...friendly staff

We love the gravy there, its delicious! Prices are very decent and the food is good (rice and peas, plantains, etc )!

Ordered the chicken curry roti. The roti was oily and pulled apart like dough with a slight sweet flavor. Definitely disappointed with this order. I ordered with Uber which was delayed twice. The curry had more of a bitter ginger flavor than your traditional caribbean/west indian style.

New chef made jerk chicken bloody, it wasnt raw but it wasnt cooked like usual. Also I noticed the chicken was clearly sourced from a new source dont like it. Please thumbs up this review so it gets fixed Also hire more staff your other locations have 3 to 5 people at most hours. Its unfair to burden the staff here and stress them out to handle the demand. Food is sold out alot (not the staff faults its the cheap owners fault who doesnt want to hire more people, shame on you for stressing your staff with your frugality). Its its not like ur redturant isnt popular it has customers every 5 minutes and orders from uber etc all the time

Suitable for Korean taste. It feels more appropriate than Southeast Asian food. I thought it tasted exotic because it was Jamaican food, but it turned out to be Korean food;; Jamaican leg and sauce served with rice. It was cheap and good.

The goat! The flan! Sooooooo good!

Great food good prices! Get hot sauce on the side for an extra kick

Great late night Jerk! Always and consistently great. No Jerking Around!

Some of the best food around . Love it . Love a beautiful late night snack . Highly recommend as a local spot for anybody in the area

Jerk King is a take-me-as-I- am kinda place, which is everything a late night eatery is expected to be. I highly recommend the jerk chicken: it was flavorful, tender, and the jerk packed a pleasing punch! Kid-friendliness: Jerk King is a very unpretentious establishment where kids can go and get a good meal so why wouldnt it be friendly.

I was like though I know this is by far not the best carribbean food Ive had and its greasier than it should be but it is totally worth the $s. Huge portions of meat in curry rotis, both goat and chicken. With an extra roti on the side, I got ample for dinner and the next days lunch.

The jerk chicken roti is solid, nice and spicy and topped with chickpeas, a potato, and the gravy of your choice. The chicken itself is super flavourful albeit a bit dry. Generous portions and solid service for a decent price.

Love my caribbean foods .

Excellent food always, the chicken is very tender and always amazing. The Coleslaw and the jerk chicken go hand in hand. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for some jerk chicken in town!

Dont judge a book by its cover! This place is admittedly not very impressive when you walk in as far as decor and store layout and lighting, but the food is fantastic! Generous portions at a fair price with lots of meat and the coleslaw is also a great side that you get with your main dish.

Beef patties and jerk chicken is great. Lots of homeless and crazy people come in and out. Very dark inside and looks like the staff are always in the back.

Love this place!

Tried to scam me. Charged me 67 bucks. But it was only 27. Caught it. Bunch of crooks. Im appalled. Never again.

Jamaican and Trini people should shun this place its Jerk Chicken and Chicken Curry rotis are terrible.

The quantity of food was more than expected and taste is exceptional.

NEVER EVER order online from this restaurant, these guys either dont know how to read English or they simply dont care. My whole order was wrong TWICE in the same night today.
