Smart and Morris Jamaica Takeout in Toronto

Stopped here on a whim. Patties are incredible. Jerk chicken was fall off the bone and flavorful. The owner was extremely friendly and welcoming even to a silly American like me. Highly recommend

I went here not expecting much but the oxtail was superb rich and tender the staff where also very nice and welcoming they even gave us an extra side. The inside of the store dose not look the best but it has charm and the food makes up for it.

Great food, great people, Best oxtail in the city!!!

Good jerk chicken. The plantains were not good; tough, chewy. Seemed like they had been sitting around for a while.

I got the soup and it was yummy. Friendly service. Will tell my friends about this place and be back to try other things.

Great food. Flavours were great. Generous portions.

Had their ackee & salt fish with banana and dumpling this morning for the first time. It was delicious I will for surely be back. I called beforehand customer service on the phone and in person was great.

I Bought oxtail an got three little pieces that are only bone no meat on it for 21 dollars there portions dont match the price its not worth it I will never come back there an i dont recommend anyone to go there.

Amazing food amazing staff

Ordered a curry goat, white rice & coleslaw with their homemade drink. Goat was well seasoned and rice perfectly cooked! Will definitely be back.

I would highly recommend this joint. I enjoyed the food and their customer service is great

They were friendly and food was amazing definitely recommend and would try again bring some money to spend you ll get good food in return

Love the Jerk chicken its the best

Good take out...tasty menu options...pleasant staff

Excellent jerk! Some of the best I ve had in the city for sure. Their patties are also top notch. Really enjoyed their homemade hot sauce. Authentic and made with love - you can tell!

I don t often write reviews but this spot is extra nice Instant customer for life, thanks for the delicious meal!

The best Jerk Chicken Ive had in Toronto. It took me back to Jamaica. Perfect spice and flavours. If youre looking for authentic Jamaican food youre in the right place.

Restaurant had limited options as they were still making their food. Ended up getting the oxtail since it was all they had available at the time. Oxtail wasnt bad but wasnt the best either. Would probably give Jerk King a try next time since it is around the corner. Staff was very friendly.

Lovely food and lovely people!!!

Great food good there

Not sure how people are giving out 5 stars for this place, but my stew chicken was dry . Imagine that.

I ordered a Jerk Chicken and Patty. I paid $18! I was really annoyed to have already paid and then see them microwave my chicken in a plastic container (no idea how old that chicken was). First off, It s frustrating to see someone heat up my meal in a plastic container when I don t even use plastic to heat up my own food on the regular. Food clearly wasn t fresh! Not going back there again, this was the second bad experience I ve had there but, thought I d give it a chance, lesson learned. Can t justify paying premium pricing for microwaved food!

Got a large rice and peas with chickpea curry, and it was delicious. Cooked perfectly.Will definitely be back for more.

The food, the service, the people, what an amazing place. Curry and jerk chicken was over the top amazing!!!

Clean and delicious!!

Open the door and the delicious aroma of the food pulls you into a spotless and wonderfully run venue. We took our orders across the street and enjoyed the food the park lawn under a shade tree. Not sure how I could have made lunch any better.

Yummy veggie options, generous portions, and friendly staff

I had the jerk chicken with rice and peas tasted absolutely amazing staff is very kind and friendly too always smiling one of the best spots in the city

Best service. The best jerk chicken I ve ever eaten.

Solid patties and kind service!

I just finished my takeout of callaloo and pumpkin rice with fresh pineapple ginger juice, and it really hit the spot! Good use of spice and flavour all around, a great spot for top notch homestyle cooking. Cant wait to try the secret hot sauce and possibly that breakfast plate I saw in the reviews Also the staff was so nice, would come back again! Vegetarian options: There is callaloo and then chickpea curry.

Best patties since Randy s closed:) Will go back for other dishes. Service with music and a song

I highly recommend this Jamaican restaurant for its incredible cuisine the service was impeccable, with the cashier being particularly friendly and helpful and it has a exquisite captivating atmosphere. Its an absolute must-visit for anyone craving an authentic taste of Jamaica.

All these reviews have to be family and friends to give 5 stars. I went in today for lunch seen great reviews so I gave it a try. I called ordered said 20 mins seems kinda long but ok. I went to pick up and she was making it first I seen her microwave the gravy and then pull out chicken from somewhere and chopped it up and put in my bowl. She had no gloves and I seen her hand touch my food. I paid for my food went to eat and it was horrible. The chicken wasn t even microwaved properly and it was cold. Food had no taste and I was very disappointed. I paid 14 dollars for heated up food from god knows what day it was cooked. I was very disappointed and left hungry. Never again.

Love the food here. We ordered stew and jerk chicken with rice and peas. Everything tasted delicious. Wonderful restaurant owners. We will definitely be back here

Fire food 10/10 they deserve more business

Smart & Morris is fantastic. This was my third visit, and each time the food was delicious, and the portions were very generous. The menu has a wide variety of both meat and veggie dishes, and the staff are very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended, try it!

The VERY BEST jerk chicken in the Annex!

Have been here twice, amazing authentic food! Definitely one of the best in Toronto. Amazing friendly staff! My new favorite!

So Im 3 bites into my curry goat and pumpkin rice and WOW!!!! TRULY authentic Jamaican cooking!!! My friend got the jerk chicken (picture) and has officially stopped talking to me to not interrupt his chewing!!!! IT NICE NUH BLURTNEET!!! Service with a smile and the food is obviously made with care. Stop by and try it!!

Food was delicious, staff was very friendly, lady at the cash was so sweet!

Walked into Smart and Morris because it smelled so good just outside the shop! Was greeted by the kindest lady - ordered the brown chicken stew; absolutely delicious. Meat is so tender, falls right off the bone. Spices and flavour are top notch. Can t wait to go back!

Some of the best curry goat Ive had in the city. Fantastic and friendly service.

Delicious food. Friendly staff. Great value!

Stopped by hoping they would have some breakfast items. Sure enough they did and the ackee and saltfish was DELICIOUS! Ill drop back in for some oxtail next time.

Absolutely delicious home-cooked Jamaican food! Were so happy to have this spot in the neighbourhood. Really sweet and friendly staff too. My partner and I got large orders of the oxtail w/ rice + peas and coleslaw and the jerk chicken with pumpkin rice and a patty- everything was VERY tasty! Oxtail was the most tender Ive tried... I wish there was more of it ;) Wishing this spot lots of success, well be back!!!

10/10 food was so good had it one go definitely try any dish. Walked in and the smell instantly hit you I had the oxtails and brown stew chicken. That macaroni salad is so good, food was so good had to go back for a curry goat

absolutely amazing customer service and food offered samples and were very friendly and welcoming. they had vegetarian options that were really flavourful and tasty. will definitely be going back!! Vegetarian options: the pumpkin rice and curry chickpea was delicious!!

I had the Jerk chicken with pumpkin rice and it was spectacular! Literally one of the best Jamaican places in the city! Make sure to ask for their hot sauce, it is incredible!

Love this place truly take pride in make real Jamaican food, my go to 247

A friend of mine told me a few weeks back to checkout S & M, so on Family Day I stopped in. As I entered the door I was greeted with a beautiful smile, and a warm hello from the woman who approached the counter. I ordered curry chicken, and pumpkin rice (I didnt even know pumpkin rice was a thing). Anywho, my meal was delicious; so I returned a few days later having their chicken soup ~ that was delicious as well. Id recommend S&M to anyone... meals are delicious, customer service is warm and friendly; also, prices are reasonable. What else can one ask for?!?! Ill mosdef be returning again!

Great food and great people!

Real good food. Amazing service and the taste cant be compared to any other place.

Wonderful jerk chicken and goat curry.

Wow!! real authentic jamaican cuisine had the oxtail loved it and done the proper way lima beans in it. My partner had the jerk chicken full of flavour!! Good experience thank you

Best jerk chicken with rice and peas ever!! New favourite place to eat

Amazing Jamaican food and great staff. They re all super friendly and very generous with portions, if you ever need a recommendation they ll surely set you up with something great you ve never tried. My favourite spot in the annex right now!

First time here and it was amazing. Will surely return.

Wonderful restaurant and very welcoming. Food is well done and taste. Yummy This would be my second time coming here and I will come again.

Insane, Life changing Thank you!

Delicious! Oxtail was so tender and the Jerk Chicken was excellent!

The best oxtail and jerk chicken .perfectly cooked . Every time. Very friendly staff.

Very delicious curry goat with rice and beans..The zobo drink was good

Good seasoning & Jerk chicken

The best home cooked Jamaican in the city with the nicest people!

Great service and amazing ox tail :) next time I ll need to try something different!

Amazing service and the best jerk chicken in town. I can t recommend this place enough!

Dropped in for take out, got home found I had a mix up with my orders, phoned em, they fixed it, got it delivered me in twenty minutes, no charge. First rate Jamaican food too!

It was amazing

We have visited several times and the food, and staff, are exceptional! The braised oxtail is my favourite, followed closely by the chicken. Also very delicious is the ginger hibiscus drink. It is a flavour explosion!

Hands down the best jerk and pumpkin rice Ive had so far! Service was great from the lovely lady and gentle man. Walked in for a take out and to try their jerk, mind blown by the seasoning! Wish the portions were larger, but still worth your money Food : 5/5 |

Really wonderful spot! I had the oxtail, so delicious and soft. The staff were all super friendly and inviting.

So far, Ive only had the brown stew chicken and it was nice; as they didnt feel the need to modify their recipe for the Canadian palet as some Jamaican spots in the city are tempted to do.

I m a new fan of this spot! Delicious jerk chicken with a great portion of rice and peas. Reasonably priced and super friendly service. I ll be back!

Simply put it that restaurant screams family ordered the curry chicken and found heaven. Shout out Newtonbrook recommendation Kid-friendliness: Welcoming and warm with student deals

Was on a tour to learn the history of Bathurst Street and came upon this gem. The beef and chicken patties are amazing. This place has the best jerk chicken Ive ever had would recommend to anyone wanting a hearty meal

Amazing food was great very flavourful reminds me of grandmas house

Smart and Morris has the best curry goat in the city by far! The lady behind the counter is super nice, and the food is excellent. A great place for authentic jamaican food and an endless amount of options for drinks. Highly recommend!

Amazing provisions and salt fish!

Some of the best jerk chicken in Toronto!

All of the dishes here are so flavourful, well-seasoned, and beautifully cooked. This is my go-to for Jamaican food in Toronto!!

Super fun/friendly staff and the food is top notch. Very generous portions as well.

This place is an absolute gem. They were so nice and the food was BOMB. I ordered a veggie dish and couldn t believe my taste buds. It is exploding with flavour. They got an amazing secret hot sauce too.

Delicious My wife and I had the oxtail and Jerk Chicken. We were not disappointed. I definitely recommend this place for an amazing Jamaican food. Great people there to greet you.

Very friendly and amazing jerk chicken. Great quality and solid recipes.

Just had the Jerk Chicken and the Curry Chickpeas. Both were PERFECT. I dont like things too spicy, and the staff were kind enough to ask if I wanted the jerk chicken done spicy or mild. Mild was niiiiiiiice! Such bold, rich flavours in both dishes. The rice and peas were moist and fluffy, and the coleslaw was not too sour and not too sweet. I will be back often!

Im disappointed in this place. I thought the 5 stars would have been for good food. At almost 30 bones for an oxtail i thought this would be a good meal, i got 3/4 of the container filled with the hardest most dry grains of rice i ever eat. Then the 1/4 was bare bone tiny bits of meat. Not only that you guys forgot my pasta salad. Dont get me started on the jerk chicken .... the worst. Me and my girl took one look at it and just no. Idont know who these guys are paying for fake reviews but its not going to work forever. I overpaid for ratings and low quality items Smart and morris... more like smoke and mirrors. Get a grill for the jerk chcken otherwise call it baked.

Very glad to have a laid back and delicious Jamaican spot in the neighbourhood. Will be coming back for that Oxtail soon!

We had the pumpkin rice, plantain, callaloo and chickpea curry. It was all delicious!

Great food and good energy at the spot, give it a try.

Amazing food. Great prices. The portions are proper. Ting Mod!!!!

Jah kno star Smart and Morris ting tunup!!!

Walked in by chance while staying in Toronto for a little bit, their jerk chicken is filled with a ton of flavour and their rice with the ox tail gravy was a great combo! Would definitely recommend

Best Jamaican food I ve ever had, feels like my moms cooking if she was Jamaican. 10/10, the owner is so sweet

Just had this!!! Food legit great!!!

Very tasty Jamaican food

Just go, get anything, and thank me later. Your welcome.

Perfectly cooked jerk chicken, nice and spicy. Buddy who served me had a great friendly attitude and genuinly appreciated my patronage. Definetly reccomend.

This is the best Jamaican food I have had in Toronto. I have had bad experiences with oxtail in Toronto but this was exceptional, tasted like true Jamaican home cooking. And the lady working there was lovely too. 100% recommend and I will be back again, and again, and again

Best place in the city for authentic Jamaican food. Staff is really friendly too!

Overall experience was good, the chicken was a little dry but I was probably the last customer of the day so that might ve been the reason. Ox tail gravy on the rice was delicious.

Had the jerk pork and it was the right amount of spice

The best food in city. They put their heart and soul into the food.

The jerk chicken was extra nice nice!! Well worth the drive from Keswick down to this restaurant!

Fantastic jerk chicken. Highly recommend. Lovely service.

The chicken here is amazing! Real Jamaican authentic cuisine! The Jerk chicken was seasoned all the way to the bone! They have amazing customer service too! I found my regular lunch spot!

Needed some homestyle JA breakfast downtown Toronto and Smart and Morris did not disappoint. I walked in and asked can you just put together a breakfast box meal for me and they put in callaloo, ackee and saltfish and food. Highly recommended. Friendly and professional and that open kitchen. Yes I will be back, with friends!

The food, the music, the lovely people there make the whole experience comforting and welcoming!! The curry goat is soo good!!

Itll only be a matter of time until everyone hears about how good this spot is. Oxtail, Curry Goat, Brown Stew Chicken were all incredibly good. Cant wait to try more of the menu.
