Gerry's Fast Foods in Toronto

EVERYTHING is incredibly great tasting prepared fresh by generations of family members. We now live out of town so every time we go near Toronto, its a must go to place. My wife and I have been loyal customers since we were very young (now retired), and the quality has always and is still the very best. We may only see them 2-3 times per year but we are greeted like family. The family even came to our town to visit and brought their famous fish cakes. They no longer make them and we miss them. LOVE THIS PLACE! Vegetarian options: Amazing steamed veggies Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessible

Love this food. Deliscious....

Excited to return and try another tasty dish!

Bought a Patty today it was hard and dried out, not the first either. Never again.

This my all time favorite place to get sweet potato pudding. Im so addicted. Lots of great tasting food on the menu. Staff is friendly and attentive. Big up Donnavan. Its Michelle the pudding lady. Lol. For authentic jamaican food go to gerrys.

Yum. Absolutely tasteful. Extremely kind people. Would recommend.

Donovan and Alex were super great. Friendly atmosphere, amazing service and the best black/rum cake in the city!

Yes, sir. The food is very delicious if anybody wanna check this location. 724 on St clair West. Yes, Gerry. Your food Its very good one love.

Best patties Ive ever had.

So good. My new favourite spot. Super friendly staff. I wish I lived closer.

This is hands down the best Jamaican food. Amazing patties, jerk chicken, and goat curry. The portions are generous + everything is so well spiced. Meat falls off the bone Excited to try more next time Im there.

Great service and rum cake.

Gerry s is a very fine establishment, and absolutely a hidden gem of Toronto. Always great service and great food. Food

Currently living in the neighbourhood for years and never tried Gerys once until now. I am glad I did and will frequent this restaurant from now on. I didnt realize what I was missing all these years. Loved their jerk pork.Really tasty and portions are generous. Would go back and try other foods as well. Thank you for being in our neighbourhood!

Had their black cake and it was delicious, very nice owner offered me a free slice of pudding

An amazing homey place with delicious food. Service is great and the workers are so nice. Beef patties are spectacular. Parking: The parking is almost always available and affordable. Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly with nice people working there.

This take-out place hides the facts of great service and very good food. Well worth a visit.

Ordered on Uber eats for the second time after having a great experience. Food was excellent and a good portion. Definitely worth stopping in for a bite.

Ordered the oxtail and chicken soup! Both were absolutely fantastic Really good meal for a cold winter. Didn t get other items but they sure do look good!

They make the best cake in the city hands down!

Best jerk spot in town

Our go-to take-out place right in the neighbourhood when we get hungry and lazy at the same time. Fast, filling, super-friendly, and most of all tasty! There are other places to find Jamaican food, but Gerry s is the one we prefer. They always have time for some friendly, silly banter while supper is coming together in the kitchen.

The food was okay. The oxtail was quite salty but the rum cake was absolutely divine. Service was okay and I think there was seating area.

Went here and ordered the jerk chicken and some coconut cookies. The food was immaculate and was quite a reasonable price. The staff here was very nice and outgoing 10/10 would recommend

No a good experience with boneless chicken roti no chicken no potatoes only roti dough

Great food at amazing prices!!

Great tasting curry goat and patties!

I used to live in Toronto and would travel across town to eat here. Many memories of sitting on a park bench along the street outside and enjoying this food. Gerrys has Jamaican dishes that most take out places dont such as cowfoot and tripe and bean. The food was always amazing and the owner is a terrific guy, always remembered my name. I first ate here over 25 years ago and I am so glad that they are still around. I will be traveling to Toronto this summer and I will definitely be coming to eat here.

Ordered large oxtail meal with jerk chicken, oh boy this place has a special place in my heart. Definitely the best jerk and oxtail in the town.

$30 for a large oxtail.... i was expecting something more.... grand?

I love going to Gerry s when I am in the city . My whole family loves everything especially the goat roti and oxtail!

Gerrys is my absolute favorite spot to grab some amazing Jamaican food. The jerk chicken with rice on peas is my favourite item on the menu and the coleslaw is a must-have as well. The beef patties are also some of the best Ive ever had. On top of that the staff and the owners are very nice and kind people! you gotta try Gerrys if you havent already.

The best Jamaican food at the best price point. The staff and owner are wonderful and we will definitely return. We enjoyed the pattie, ox tail, jerk chicken, rice & beans, and Ting!

Consistently delicious, always pleasant, good neighbours and great cooks!

Strictly yard ting, great ppl good food excellent service since the parents ran it passed down to the kids. Nothing changed love the cakes.

Went to this place based on reviews, and I was not impressed. For what you pay, the portions are very small, and the chicken and rice were very dry. I was very disappointed and I dont think I will be back.

Delicious food! Definitely my new favourite spot for Jamaican food, will be back for sure!

Amazing!! Best curried goat I have had in Toronto! And first time trying cornmeal pudding, it has to be my favourite new dessert now, perfect amount of sweetness with coconut and corn flavour, Im so happy to have found my new favourite Jamaican restaurant in city!

Ordered a chicken roti - filling was delicious but a little hard to find the chicken. Beef patty was average. Service was good.

The spot. Great value and quality served by some of the nicest guys. Would lunch/dinner here again. Chicken & goat fell clean right off the bone.

So so yummy.

Second time ordering here oxtail and jerk chicken did not disappoint. Usually halfway through meal and I am already stuffed to the core. Great portions for the price indeed

Jerk chicken was excellent, reasonably priced, and the portions were generous. Will be back sometime, for sure. Food : 5/5

Great family owned business. I love the jerk chicken, oxtail and pound cakes. They are friendly and courteous.

Dietary restrictions: Hands down the absolute BEST Jamaican food in Toronto Food

Great food, great price, consistent!

Good food, but not really nice people. Just asked whether I could have a jerk chicken roti, but the owner gave a nasty NO even though the roti shows chicken under roti. Jerk chicken is also chicken the last time I checked!!!

Gerrys is the best for authentic Jamaican dishes and pastries.

Ordered the goat meal and it tasted like someone poured vinegar in it, especially as left overs the next day.

Good food

I ordered a black cake for my sons birthday. It was delicious and beautifully decorated. Over the years I have ordered cake from Jerrys, never been disappointed. Thanks again for an excellent job!

Nobody can chat to Gerrys cake. Rum.and fruits tun up. Number in in Toronto. Big up Gerry..The number one title.. Birthdays weddings Christmas...never disappoints from your satisfied customer. Jackie

Came here a couple weeks ago. Friendly service, ox tail was juicy saucy, soft and portions was ok. I would go again.

Stopped by to get some sweet potato pudding ended up with cornmeal pudding and totoes too ...yummy is all I can say has not changed in the 40 years have been going here. I live in Brampton but whenever I get to Toronto I try my best to get here. Today stopped with hubby and son....son had jerk pork with rice and peas, this was so tasty and tender, really good food, had to try it. My hubby is a Ras, he had the baked goods, he liked all of them, says he is going back again . I would recommend Gerry to everyone who wants a good tasty authentic meal Ive been going here since I was 18 now Im 58 brings back such great memories.

My first time trying beef patties. I got spicy ones and they were so flavorful and delicious. I loved the interior decor of the restaurant too.

Well established multi - generational, small family operated Jamaican Restaurant... Clean and Friendly ... Authentic Jamaican home cooking served with a warm smile and light conversation... I quite enjoyed the Chicken Roti and My Friend had the Beef Roti ...Their Jamaican Black Cake is among the best I have had ... Will be back often ...Also looking forward to getting My Bun & Cheese fix again come Easter season

One of the best cakes within the GTA. Nice and friendly staff.

Staff is friendly the food is great and the portions are a lot, I love going there.

Rum cake and sweet potato pudding was phenomenal!

Really friendly folks and great food. Was really impressed with the quality not being greasy or heavy but full of flavour. I m come back for sure!

A real gem in St Clair West. Amazing food and family owned. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. We love it here!

Sweeeet cassava pudding or pone!

Fried chicken was bland and cold and coleslaw was very unimpressive. Go try something else because this spot is not worth spending for a $10 plus meal.

So grateful to have a spot like Gerrys in my neighbourhood!! I have tried a lot of patties and these are hands down my favourite- so flavourful! The curry chickpeas and desserts are also all amazing. Cant believe this place has been here for 40 years! Donovan and Andrea have such good energy I look forward to my weekly stops on a walk. Thank you for being such a gem in our community!!

Fashion collection for male and female. Moderate prices, good discount offers.

Went to Gerrys for the first time and well now I regret not going even sooner. Walking in I ordered a Chicken Roti (which was fantastic) and asked, what else was good for next time? Taking the time to walk me through my options, I ended up also getting a little sampler so that when I do go back now I know what to order. So now I can honestly say all the options are excellent (that jerk chicken, wow) and well worth the visit. This is a place everyone should support, a family run business focused on quality and service. I will be going back and I hope others join me too.

Best Jamaican food in all of Toronto!

Daaaaaaaaamn... Gerrys is a must. Ive been a loyal customer of Alberts for years but when Alberts was closed on Monday and I need my jerk chicken fix I had to improvise. My neighbourhood friends had always spoke highly of Gerrys so I checked it out. I was NOT disappointed. The food was amazing. Taste of the islands. And the gentleman even gave me some fresh warm coconut cookies with my order. Thanks guys. Cant wait to see ya again!

We love it here! The oxtail and curry goat are amazing.

Its been a few years since I have seen Mr. Donovan (I havent been to Toronto in a few years) but his shop is one of the better Jamaican spots in Toronto close to Downtown. I will be back this weekend for Caribana. Big ups to the whole Wong Family!

I also discovered a treasure restaurant nearby, which is also the best Jamaican restaurant in the area. This restaurant was opened in 1977 as a family store. The former owner/father Garry passed it down to the current owner s son Donovan. His jerk chicken is delicious and delicious. The spiciness is moderate, and the curry goat is not spicy at all. The lunch box, which costs just over 10 yuan, is very filling. I wanted to eat two meals, and the boss even gave me Friday s special: braised lamb feet. What I like the most is this friendly and delicious family store. It does not have fancy decorations or fancy tableware. It only attracts customers with delicious and authentic dishes.

Patties very nice! I also had the jerk pork that was very good.

I was working in the area and needed a cold bottle of water on this hot day. The gentleman working there gave me a free bottle of water. What an amazing guy! I will definitely be bringing my entire family here for lunch or dinner this week. Thank you!!!!

Danny is the best! Pudding is the best

The best potato pudding and black cake!

I decided to stop by today after see all the great reviews but Im disappointed in my $15+ jerk chicken it was really dry. The Man at the counter was really nice maybe it was just an off day.

No lie, this is my favorite Jamaican spot, I was so sad when I moved away. Ask for the jerk pork with oxtail gravy, it s 10/10 and they literally have the best spicy beef patties I ve ever tried. The customer service is chill and friendly too. A hidden gem!

If youre looking for Jamaican food in the area and reading this, yes, this is the place you want to go. Still great food as always.

So I went to Gerry s today for the first time and was super disappointed! I had the chicken soup and oxtail! Both were flavourless! The coleslaw was not cut up fine enough and it was wetty-wetty! I did not finish the food.

Garrys fast food has lost their flavor into the kitchen the original cooks has passed on with that wonderful flavor and the delicious taste .

As a Jamaican I have tried so many Jamaican own restaurants food and to be honest I don t think they cook for Jamaicans not one of these restaurant grabs me bought a oxtail food I was wondering what am I eating KMT no flavour at all second time ordering won t order again don t like these fake Jamaican foods you guys cooking for Canadian a noh soh Jamaicans cook food noh nice at all

I moved to NB approximately 2years ago and I have missed good ethnic food. Gerry s was just the ticket!! Their goat roti was heaven, just the right spice level with tender goat pieces and the right amount of potatoes. The roti was thin enough to hold the contents without being doughy when folded. Their home made ginger beer was the best I have ever tasted. This alone is worth the trip! Will go back again before leaving.

Best Patties and Roti on St Clair possibly. Seriously good food and always sweetest service. Feels like home when you order here. Also amazing price for what you get!

Love the patties and chicken roti, very tasty! And the owner is very sweet :) my coworkers and I go there regularly!

Y all! I just scarfed down the stewed beef with coleslaw. Am now having a patty. Holy smokes. Lord Jesus Christ. So so good. I am lucky to have this place close by to fill my belly with such delicious food.

This place has been our go to place for great Jamaican food. Everyone in our family, and I mean all 4 generations of us, are happy when we get Gerry s. The curry goat, shrimp dish, and the jerk are outstanding! Support our local restaraunts all while enjoying a real yummy meal that is well priced. Yes, I am asking you to eat here so that it survives and I get to order from them for at least another 20 years.

I have been going to Gerrys for many years. The food and service has always been excellent! In my visits there since covid I have not observed anyone on the premises without a mask (staff included). In fact, I visited the week before Christmas also and had to wait outside as they were only allowing 3 people in store at a time. My experience as usual was enjoyable and fulfilling.This will always be my go to spot!

If you havent tried Gerrys, I feel bad for you! Everything Ive tried has always been consumed in under 5 minutes - the flavours are so good. Not to mention, their vegetarian options are absolutely delicious - the chickpea roti is amazing! Service is friendly and quick, overall I highly recommend, a must try on St. Clair West!

walked by this unassuming place for YEARS, finally popped in after a recommendation from a friend and was not disappointed. The jerk (pork or chicken) & curry goat are my favourites; the slices of rum cake are perfect to share between 2 ppl

Just tried their beef patty! So yummy

had the large shrimp curry ,which was made to order , was good just needed a lil more flavor. but Ill definitely be back to try more

Great rotis

Jerk chicken was phenomenal!

Excellent hospitality and wonderful baked goods! I ordered two 10inch pans of pudding from Gerrys Fast Foods for my household late Friday morning/early afternoon. I left right after dropping it off to do some business, and would you believe that when I came back home there was only 3 slices left that evening? The baked goods are very tasty! If youre looking for traditional Jamaican Cornmeal pudding with the soft top and hard bottom then this Gerrys is the right place for you. They offer different types of puddings as well as other cakes so be sure to call and place your order! Will update review when I try more products!

Id been meaning to try Gerrys Fast Foods and am so glad I did! Kind, friendly, and quick service - our meals were so delicious! We had chickpea and chicken rotis with coleslaw and coconut cookies, all items were fantastic. Will certainly be back!

Goood Food, Good Quality, CLEAN, reasonable prices. im always pleased! Very Nice People.

Our default neighborhood destination for years. Consistently amazing food, super friendly people. Donovan & family done awesome. Must try!

I came here for the first time today and was delightfully greeted by the genuinely friendly owner and staff. I had the Curry Goat along with Oxtail and was amazed by the large portions and rich flavour. Gerrys is by far the best Jamaican food Ive ever had. I definitely recommend, you wont regret it.

The food is Good. The people are Good. Would I recommend this place or come back? I expect my visit count to increase greatly along with recommendations...especially when it comes to the oxtail.

This is a great place to pick up amazing food. Its really savoury, and I taste the love they put in to making these delicious meals. Ive eaten many things off the menu, and have never been disappointed. Thank you!

Absolutely amazing!! I was walking along the street before lunch and smelled an amazing aroma of authentic Caribbean spices. I asked the owner which is his favourite dish(es) and he guided me towards the curried goat or jerk chicken as they are his top sellers. I went with the goat and it was fantastic!! Definitely coming back here!!

Gerry is awesome! Pastries are so tasty and fresh. We travel miles and miles for these goodies

Very good spot, friendly staff.

Many delicious items and reasonable prices.

Simply the best.

First I ll start off my saying the service here is always friendly & pleasant. I ordered the small oxtail with rice and peas, I was disappointed. The oxtail was very salty and mild tasting. I was disappointed there wasn t any peas or dumplings either. The rice was mushy & reminded me more of cookup. It wasn t satisfying. I ll try something else on the menu next time. Three stars for the service.

Best Jamaican restaurant ever. Real Jamaican food, taste like back home cooking like how mamma use to make it.

Best Jamaican in town

All I think about now it the stewed cabbage/coleslaw . Good price too

Food good. Donovan!

Food and service excellent. Covid guidelines in full order.

People are always pleasant here and food is good.

Great place to grab a slice of rum cake and some traditional island food.

Lots of love for this place. A place worth returning to again and again

Excellent

Ordered the oxtail, excellent! They sell great small cakes, many varieties, again excellent!

Good food

Great puddings

Love your food a lot.

Used to visit Gerrys Food during my university years all the time. Best Jamaican food in the city. Pretty sure without Mr. Wongs generosity I would have starved during late nigh exam prep days.

Great service and friendly staff! I got myself a small Jerk Pork, the food came with coleslaw as sides and the portion is bigger than I expected. Definitely worth the price for the size of the food and really enjoy the food too!

Gotta love the jerk pork I tell ya.

Great family-run business on St Clair W. Delicious food, great prices and I love the black cake Yum!

Okay Gerry s Fast Food got that quality quality food, one of the best Caribbean restaurants in the city! Don t believe me? give it a try for yourself. With the portions the serve you re definitely getting your moneys worth! No room for complaints at all. Fresh home cooked food. Gerry s Fast Food.

Best oxtail in the city! Tasty jerk pork too! No wonder Gerrys has been around 30 years; delicious food, a wonderfully warm family, great service and an awesome variety of dishes and get a patty! Made fresh daily

Friendly staff and delicious oxtail!! So tender!!

Best Rum Cake ever, and quality Caribbean food.

Gerrys is phenomenal. I was first introduced earlier this year by my partner who grew up on St. Clair West. I have become a big fan of Jamaican food since moving to Toronto 5 years ago (especially loving curry roti, rice and peas and jerk chicken) and Gerrys is by far my absolute favourite spot to indulge. They have hearty and flavourful vegetarian options (including veggie patties!) and fantastic meat dishes. The curry chicken roti is by far my favourite dish- the roti skins are fresh, light and never greasy. The curry chicken fill is substantial- you can easily get two meals out of one roti! My partner often grabs the jerk pork dinner with rice and peas, and I always find myself grabbing a few bites, despite my not being a huge fan of pork. The pork is tender and the jerk spice is fragrant and hot but not painfully spicy. Besides the food, the owners are wonderful. Gerrys is a generational, family-owned business that exudes love and community. You can taste the care they put into each dish- the homemade patties and ginger beer are big testaments to this. Prices are more than fair for the quality of food you are getting. Gerrys is a staple of the neighborhood- I couldnt imagine the St. Clair West food scene without them!

Do you guys still do black cakes for birthdays?...if this is the right place my parents had been ordering black cakes from here for years...I have been wondering for years if this place was still around.

My favourite spot for jerk chicken and sorrel drink in the city of Toronto! Great quality ingredients and recipes. I tried the ox tail last time and have to give a five star for that too :)

The food is tasty. And the baking is special. Im well happy with it.

The meat portion was so skimpy for the small oxtail (14.70 after tax). The oxtail itself tasted mild and alright. It comes with the rice & peas and the coleslaw. The rice & peas was too mushy but the coleslaw tasted good The service was efficient and professional Overall, if you are in the area and crave Jamaican food, this place would be a safe bet

Fantastic oxtail and jerk pork!

Im a bit biased by having a great relationship with the owner, but Gerrys does it right! Great curry goat. Jerk is delicious. Rice and peas are hot and good. Chicken and red bean soups are both amazing. Home made ginger beer is bold and flavorful. Great rum cakes at holiday time. Gerrys is a treasure. I go out of my way to eat here.

Last week I got fried Chicken and rice n peas salad not yo forget the cake with the soup yo open my appetite! Let me tell you the good was absolutely amazing I enjoyed it soooooooo much. No other place like this place for your dinner at the end of a busy day

I ve been going to Gerry s Fast Food for decades. The food is amazing! The service is excellent and the staff are very friendly. My favourite is Oxtail Rice and Peas with a side order of plantain.

Great food, friendly staff. Always hits the spot if Im craving a spicy beef pattie or a chicken roti.

GREAT food GREAT people

Gerrys cakes , food , and the customer service is the best in the city for Jamaican cuisines . My favourite is the plain cake along with the puddings (I ve never met a pudding or a meal from their that I didn t like ). The store is a staple on St. Clair for the last 35 years +.

Ive never really liked patties, but these patties? Delicious flaky soft crust with delicious filling. Now I want them all the time! #shoplocal

Best Jamaican food in Tdot hands down!

Great food, great price!

Food always hot and ready on point. I come here once a week it s so good

Great place for take-away foods, price is right. Well trained staff, well maintain covid protocol. Highly recommended.

Yo Gerrys is my favorite joint, love off the potato pudding. Go gerrys

I got stomach pain after eating here not good

Number one in canada for realJamaican rum cake. Been going there forever. Never disappoints. Big up Donovan. from Jackie, Jill and Ingrid. Looking forward to more delicious meals and cakes in 2019.

I love the food, my kids love the food, my wife loves the price lol! Writing this review is making me hungry... See you at Gerrys. Just had a ginger coconut cookie...wow!! Thank you Donovan!

Sketchy but good food

Just picked up food from here after always walking by with my dog. The food is LEGIT! The curry goat and jerk chicken is delicious and I love the rice. Super nice owner and his sweet potato cake is awesome.

Amazing ox tail and jerk chicken! Would go back again

Great tasting food & plain cake, am on my way to buy my cornmeal pudding right now, hope they still have it.

Great prices, food and service. They even gave us free dessert because it is the last day of school and me and my friends have gone there for 2 years. Definitely recommend if you need a quick meal.

Good location along with great food and fair prices. There is a small patio. Thanks

Best chicken Ive ever had in my life.

The menu and service were ahead of my expectations. I truly enjoyed the vibes of this spot. Nice restaurant to take my family out for dinner.

Friendly service, good prices, but patties lack flavour and filling

Delicious Food. Friendly staff

Chicken Roti is very good

Was going to buy 25 rum cakes but the man put me on hold for over 5 minutes. Not the way to run a business.

Owner and staff beyond friendly and generous . Food is shockingly delicious. So happy i happened upon this place! A+++++++

Best Jamaican food in the city

Gerry s Food is delicious his restaurant catered a delicious Christmas dinner. And beautiful black.cake for my family

Best run cake in the city!!

Curry goat,nice.

It s a little mom and pop that s been around for years. The Jerk is really flavorful. And I have to get the curry shrimp and plantain as well.

Gerrys is amazing. Homemade ginger beer and juices. Baked goods and amazing carribean dishes. They have this magnificent way of serving dishes with a slight twist vs everywhere else. Try the stew pork. Wow. A+ Amazing shop, great prices and very nice staff. Donovan is the best. Feels like home.

Customer service and food amazing! Family owned business. I have been going there since I was 10 years old. Succulent oxtail, and love the jerk pork. Miss the mother as she used to always remember my birthday. :(

I like to come to this place for the delicious chicken and the good price.

Delicious authentic and reasonably priced Jamaican food !!!

Best Jamaican Food in Toronto and the customer service is amazing... I recommend it to everyone.

Great food and prices. Service was great.

Good food good black cake

Great authentic food with fair prices!

Amazing place to get cakes and pastries, food tho is not to my liking

Amazing food and great service, great local spot in the hood to get some great Jamaican food. Cakes and Fried chicken is great. Try the Cornmeal Pudding! ;)

Everything is solid but the oxtail was definitely my favorite.

The most amazing beef patties!

never disappointing from these guys, they have the best desert in town. good service. i recommend this place

Great food. Had the jerk chicken and the oxtail. Amazing! Super friendly owner running things. Cant believe I waited so long to try this place.

Super friendly! The curry Goat is wonderful! Love the Pea soup! The patties are the best. Ive yet to have anything thats disappointing.

The food here cant be beat. The service is impeccable and the curry goat roti will leave you craving it regularily. One of my favourite spots in the city.

Best jerk chicken in TO
