Stacy’s Island Flavor Restaurant and Caterers in Toronto

99.9 times when I buy Jamaican food I am disappointed. Because most Jamaican cooks for the pallet of Canadians . But when I want a taste of home this is the place to go . Oxtail ten outer ten . Real yard man thing

Service excellent food is good but every time you call always out of white rice between 2 and four clock .I finish work at 4:30 so I don t ever get the white rice with oxtail. I found when Stacey is not at work them is be out of food.

Top Tier

The oxtail stuffed patty was so delicious that my mouth is watering just writing this review. Will definitely be back. Actually, going now!

Please do a better job with answering phone orders. I hate coming here waiting 15-20 mins. Asked the Asian lady today if can text as I was confused if the menu sign is a WhatsApp logo, but she had no clue. Just poor service and communication from her.

Long wait. No soup just before 18:00, no pepper sauce. Stuffed oxtail patty was okay, it came with bones. My niece almost choked on it. Watch out if you give this to your kids.

Oxtail patty with coco bread!

We will definitely visits again. Stacy Oxtail stuff Pattie is Fire !! do try for yourself! We also bought a large oxtail and it was just as good with rice and peas/coleslaw. In addition, jerk pork and it was also very good. Support she is more than delicious foods Thank you Vegetarian options: Yes Dietary restrictions: If you only eat veggies. Callaloo and chick peas is available Kid-friendliness: It ok Wheelchair accessibility: Yes

Had the Jerk chicken Poutine. Portions are gererous for the price. Cheese to fries to jerk chicken ratio is great. Food is tasty. Co worker had a stuffed ox tail in a beef patty with coco bread. Looks amazing. Said its great. Wish they had more seats and tables. But I guess its more of a takeout grab and go.

They are absolutely disrespectful and incompetent. They always make drivers wait 10-15 minutes without telling us how long the wait is or apologizing for wasting our time. They also screw over well run restaurants because theyre waiting for us to pick up their orders. They essentially ignore deliveries until they feel like it. If the food is anything like the management, its not worth your money.

super friendly, delicious food, as seen on TikTok

The food was delicious . I m accustomed to good West Indian / Jamaican food but I have to say everything we ve had is incredible. This is third time I ve come back and again great ! What took this visit to a whole nother level was I felt for dumplin . When the lady that helped me said it would take about 15 minutes to fry the dumplings . For those that know take-out West Indian , dumplings are cold or hard . Most places fry very infrequently and at best these days offer to microwave . Unfortunately that is a pale example . These dumplin took me back to my childhood WOW ! I can remember my Mom frying on a Sunday . These were worth the wait and totally took me back . Yum ! Thank you for your kindness and maintaining your standards Kid-friendliness: The staff are always smiling and courteous . This is rare today as most people are self-obsessed and have forgotten the customer .

Fantastic experience & service, the stuffed oxtail patty was out of this world!!!

This place is bomb!!!!

Thank you for making my Oxtail Stuffed Patty Heavier! It was amazing! Will definitely come back to try on more items.

Best jerk chicken in Toronto hands down

Oxtail was so tender and falls off the bone but the oxtail gravy lacked flavour in my opinion. Jerk chicken had flavour but unfortunately tasted more stewed vs bbq d

Been here a few times since they opened.. the food is good mostly, no serious complaints there but my rating is heavily based on service.. as mentioned in other posts, the service is very slow more often than not. Each visit the wait time gets longer .. my orders arent large, 1 to 2 meals or less but have resulted in 15, 20 and 30 min wait times for my order. One of the main reasons I dont visit here more often. A busy day, sure I can understand but for those busy times, it should be staffed accordingly for proper service. Each time I visit, I hope to experience a different experience but it gets worse sadly .. hope they can fix it soon as one person taking orders and payment, over the phone orders, dealing with Uber and helping in the kitchen is not working .. Edit based on reply- I understand a large order should be called in, as stated it was 1-2 meals or less all my visits .. I appreciate your reply, though staffing accordingly will help in times when orders are heavy (ie lunch and dinner)

The weird and slowest restaurant ever I seen, people are coming, waiting and going back, no service, no management, going for this restaurant is just wasting the time, I just picked up an order from uber eats, they said wait for 10 minutes but I was waiting for 1 hour and 13 minutes even they dont care about you.

*****BEWARE! FOOD POISONING!!!***** ***UPDATE FOR OWNER : It s not possible to come in, we re extremely sick. We placed our order around 7pm last night and it was delivery. We ordered an oxtail, chicken boneless and a chicken roti. I had oxtail but took some of the chicken roti. We can safely say it was the chicken that gave us food poisoning. The food was still bland, I hope that was an off day for flavour and spices, because it had no true flavour. *** Order three different meals from here last night. Tasted bland, missing island flavor in their food. BUT WAIT THERES MORE! My whole family and I had stomach pains during the night till now. Weve been on and off the toilet and nausea is creeping up. I dont know if they left the food out too long without proper heating and storing. Its one thing to taste bland but its another to make you sick all night and I pray not the whole next day too. Never coming back.

10/10 on everything tbh big up Stacy for this innovative oxtail patty sandwich creation ain t nothing better than that

Super busy, Ive been in several times at lunch time and it is always about a 30-45 minutes but always worth the wait. Ive also done catering orders from here, for diverse crowds and everyones loved it. Food was reasonably priced, flavorful and ready on time

I think the food is absolutely fantastic. I cant write long enough to describe to barrage of flavours to my taste buds. Flavourful tender meat in every bite no matter what you order. Ive been here already a couple time and Ill definitely return. Give them a visit you wont be disappointed. Vegetarian options: Fish and veggies dishes are available

The stuffed patty was DELICIOUS! I got the oxtail stuffed patty with the coleslaw on the side to avoid the wetness. I just scooped it on every bite. Patty was crispy, coco bread was coco breading, and the oxtail was OXTAIL-ING! Definatly a craving satisfyer! We also got half fried half jerk chicken with rice and peas for later. 10/10

Ok, first off, I hope they are paying the cooks WELL!!!! Cause the food is AMAZING. service is a bit of a wait, but its definitely worth it. Especially the curry goat it niiiiiice. And lets not forget the infamous Oxtail. Sweeeeet!!!! Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible

Ended up here cause of social media talking about the oxtail patty and how good it is. So I decided to head over 30 min drive. Order the oxtail stuff patty with tax it s about $15. I was like wow but ok let s try. After a few bits I was not impressed at all. The oxtail was more fatty wasn t even seasoned good like other restaurants it wasn t even warm and then I had to find bones in my patty from the oxtail. Overall it was over hyped and over priced and I would never pay that price for a patty again.

Been going to Stacys since she had a shop in Markham, and the food has always been top notch. The jerk chicken falls off the bone and the coleslaw is always on point.

Literally just left this place and the stuff oxtail patties are a 1000/100!!! Actually about to place another order

The stuffed oxtail patty is the best patty Ive ever had. I dont know what theyre doing back there but its a must try.

I had high hopes for Stacys infamous oxtail patty after reading the reviews and seeing videos, so I had to try it for myself. Unfortunately, it was a bit underwhelming. The flavor was about a 6/10, but the dish itself was a 4/10. They added coleslaw to the patty, which made the cocoa bread extremely soggy and really took away from the experience. I m willing to give it another try without the coleslaw, but for today, it s a solid 4/10. Heres hoping the next round will be better!

I Ordered 3 festivals and it took over 25 minutes. I ordered in advance and everything, This is simply unacceptable. if you are going to order from here in advance Make sure to do so in a timely manner.

My cousin told me about this stuffed patty . It was really good , and filling . The oxtail is cooked until soft and juicy. The bread was fresh , the patty was good . I would definitely get the stuffed patty again .

Slow service, average food.

Their oxtail stuffed patties are so delicious! The oxtail is so juicy and tender, packed with flavor! Definitely my thing on the menu!

Updated: After my last experience I have ordered a few times and I can say that the owner is cooking again. The food was excellent the Jerk chicken meal and curry Goat meal was Authentic and cooked to perfection!! Very satisfied with quality and portion size .

The restaurant makes great meals. My first time trying Ox tail meat and loving it. My fave are their stuffed patties, I love jerk chicken and Ox Tail flavors

The staff are friendly. No concept of time though. I ordered a chick pea roti and 5 minutes later I was told its made to order. Why would you not tell me that when Im ordering? 10 to 15 minutes more they said. It took 30 minutes total for a roti. I have never waited even close to that long in 30+ years of ordering a roti. And it was not worth the wait. Bland seasoning. The shell was a bit heavy on the flour. Ate half of it. Maybe other dishes are worth the wait. Skip the chick pea roti. And dont expect to be in and out quickly.

Stuffed oxtail patty full of meat Lunch special jerk chicken perfect amount of heat Food

BEST JERK CHICKEN POUTINE! I ordered a regular jerk chicken, plantain, coleslaw, and mild beef patty. everything was honestly amazing, I m glad I took the risk to try this place out because I ve been searching for a great Caribbean food place! portions are huge for poutine, patty was so soft and buttery and plantain was well cooked. the people that work there give me such an amazing experience with their love for food and hard work! great conversation with one of the ladies that work there. for sure heading back! new spot for sure!

One of the most delicious jerk chicken and rice and peas out there.My husband love it. Its also one of the cheapest jamaica restaurants for lunch specials out there. Thumbs up for Stacy Jerk

I dont normally write reviews but I needed to address the treatment I received from one of the kitchen helpers. Didnt get her name but she had short twist. She made a few rude and ignorant comments towards me over her misinterpreting a question from the lady at the front and you wouldnt even believe this started all because I asked if they had jerk chicken lol ( Mind you I went towards the ending of the day knowing that they might have ran out). The fact that I could hear her from the kitchen when I was sitting down waiting says enough about how loud and ignorant she was. That being said I will not be returning . I gave this place chance after chance but she was definitely the final straw. TO THE OWNER: You should really look into the type of people you have working for you because it can cost you your business in the longrun . I can only hope she doesnt do this to anyone else. Especially since shes in no position to be talking about anyone tbh and clearly needs to be humbled. TO FUTURE CUSTOMERS : Go at your own risk...Food isnt THAT good. Only the oxtail patty was my main reason for going here . Like the other reviews said wait times are crazy . For the simpliest things youre waiting atleast 20 minutes.. EVEN IF YOU CALL AHEAD. Customer service can be better. Parking: Available parking.

I am making this review only because I was cyber bullied the comment about the worker that told the customer that there was no jerk chicken you are lying this store never runs out of jerk chicken and just to say the day when you choose to be malicious and talk about me like that for no reason I had to come here the same place you put me I was at work yesterday I was seen but not heard you said you came and ask for jerk chicken and I answered in a very disrespectful way I never spoke to anyone yesterday I never came across any question about jerk chicken because I was feeling down from Monday because the owner has been verbally abusing me because she ask me to work on a day I stated from I started working there.She treaten me of just giving me 3 days to work because I was never available all because she had a staff who can no longer work on Monday,.I even went as far and try but it didnt work out she came and told me the day that I am not to worry myself shes going to get someone else so you know I didnt do you anything that you got the person to post about me I think you went too far stop abusing workers because of your own pleasure and convince thats all for now.

Very friendly staff, very good portions for lunch special. Plenty of parking. Limited seating to two tables only. Parking: Very large spots

Stuffed oxtail patty was amazing, packed with lots of oxtail. I decided to try bbq chicken & rice and peas and was also amazing full of flavour. The owner is very kind. Food is made to order so always fresh

Amazing little spot tucked away in the corner of Pharmacy and Sheppard. Delicious all around. Authentic style home cooking. 5+ stars

I Drove from Bowmanville Ontario to try their Oxtail patty . It was absolutely phenomenal I definitely will be back to try more of their menu

Love the restaurant & amazing staff! I go here like 3x a week for their jerk chicken! Best in the city!

Every time I pass by this place, it always smells delicious, so today I asked a friend to get take-out and we ate together. I was so impressed, it felt like the best restaurant in Toronto. I want to go there every day. Dont hesitate ! HEAVEN

Had the jerk pork with rice and coleslaw. All were excellent. Food

Incredible food. Highly recommend the oxtail on rice with extra gravy and oxtail stuff patty. The service was also great. Friendly staff and quickly corrected herself when she made 2 orders instead of 1. Amazing meals and fair prices.

I came to try the stuffed oxtail patty and it was a hit! Service was quick, employees are nice, and the food is delicious.. The oxtail was so flavourful! It s a small place but they have chairs and tables so you can dine in, which I chose to do. Definitely will be going back to try the rest of their menu!

Best food I have ever put in my mouth!!!

Lunch special. Reasonably priced and tasty. Highly recommended.

Best tasting and best value by far! Gem of a place!

Best restaurant ever in Scarborough , best customer service, good food .

food was absolutely delicious, my friends and i bussed a while to get here and it was all worth it forsure

This was the best food I ve ever eaten and Stacy was super nice with excellent service. I was depressed before I came and as soon as I ate it my depression was lifted and my friend who was in a wheelchair jumped for joy and no longer needs a wheelchair HALLELUJAH !!! Thank you Stacy I will be back.

Good

Great vibe and good food. Super friendly staffs! Tiny place with 2 tables only. Very limited seating. Definitely recommend to try them!

The Food and the Staff are both Beautiful.

The jerk chicken poutine was smell very good, portion was nice and big for one or two people. But the sauce was a bit salty.

The food at Stacy is truly authentic and delicious, Pack full of flavor. The service given at Stacy makes you feel like you are at home in your Mamas kitchen. Very warm and welcoming.

Every time i ve gone here i ve received delicious food, and great service. They put a lot of love and care into their craft and it shows. It s a excellent restaurant

I enjoy ordering food from Stacy s island flavour restaurant my favourite order is the fish and fry chicken.The food is delicious flavourful and tasteful without been overly spicy. I rates it 10/10

Oxtail patty burger like .

Best curry goat in the east end! Tenderness on point + Coleslaw is full of flavour and not dry!

Great service, food taste sooo good, big portions and the price is really good. The famous oxtail stuff patty is very scrumptious and filling. Vegetarian options: The availability of vegetarian meals done to order. Vegetarian patties always available. Dietary restrictions: You have the preference of how you want your meal served or done. What portions you want to be served.

This is the real deal. I grabbed a large ackee and saltfish for myself and a large jerk chicken for the hubby. Service was top notch, everyone was friendly. Hubby says this place got all the West End Jamaican restaurants beat. Portion size, pricing and flavour all hit. I was fortunate enough to meet chef. Trust me,she can cook! Loved everything about this place.

My meal at the restaurant featured rice and peas with oxtail, which was both delicious and had a great flavor.

Amazing food!!! It was absolutely delicious!! Especially the fried chicken! We will definitely be back

Good food excellent service Food

Oxtail patty

This is the first time I went to this restaurant I googled it and was directed there and the experience was good. The server Im assuming was the owner of the store and she and I was chit-chatting.

Amazing food. The stuffed patties were amazing. Great veggie options as well. This is truly a hidden gem!!!

The quantity is solid, and the food is flavourful. I got the jerk chicken poutine. Very friendly! Came late for my order and they made me a fresh one. Much appreciated

So good!

Very delicious oxtail bun. I am in food coma. Not the best place to sit down though. No washroom

I drove for over an hour to try the oxtail stuffed patty, and it did not disappoint. In a word, phenomenal. Patti is now in my top three for stuffed patties in the GTHA. The dining area was nice and quaint with enough space for a few tables. Definitely going back for dinner.

The staff was very friendly and the food is authentic Ill give it a 10/ 10

This place is one of the best Caribbean restaurants in the city. Jerk chicken was super flavourful and was well portioned. The oxtail stuffed beef patty is a game changer for this place. It s massive and loaded with lots of flavour. Customer service was very good for a place as busy as they were. Highly recommended!

I recently discovered a new restaurant thats a real gem. One of the young ladies who served me, wearing a mask, was very nice and respectful, which made the experience pleasant. The jerk chicken was exceptionally flavorful, and I thoroughly enjoyed the oxtail stuffed patty definitely a standout dish. The curry goat was also really good, with tender meat and rich, savory spices. However, I encountered a significant issue during my visits. Ive been to this location three times, and on two of those occasions, there was no cash in the till to provide change, which was inconvenient. The owner seemed to have a strong aversion to accepting cash payments, further adding to the frustration. During one visit, the owner gave me a hard time when I tried to pay with cash, saying, I know you people, which was extremely inappropriate. Even after I explained that I am Hindu, she insisted I come to her church, which was quite uncomfortable and unprofessional. Additionally, the owners behavior was quite off-putting. She was rude and inappropriate, even going as far as to disrespect her workers in front of customers. While the food is excellent, the unpleasant interactions with the owner and the cash handling issues significantly detract from the overall experience. I hope the management addresses these problems soon.

A wonderful experience with Stacy. I was offered samples of jerk chicken, pork and oxtail. I went with the regular jerk pork meal with coleslaw and rice and peas. Filling portions with soft and well spiced pork. Thank you.

Good and customer service and the food is amazing, the food is made with love, Thank you , I will definitely recommend this place Best Jamaican good place I ve eaten at Kid-friendliness: Good is not too spicy

Caribbean Comfort Food at its finest!!!!

Juicy jerk chicken, good flava

This place is consistently good, amazing flavour chicken is tender, flavourful, and so good. Jerk chicken poutine is also amazing

When I say this is the best food I ve had in my 8 years of being in Toronto I m not kidding. I came for the first time last week and I ve already come back for more even though they re far. The ladies are so sweet, they make the chicken outside on an actual grill so it s JUICY. The coleslaw is also one of the best coleslaws yet, I always get a big tub of it to take home. So overall INCREDIBLE. I keep thanking my boyfriend for introducing me to this place.

The jerk chicken was fantastic! It had the right amount of flavour. The rice was a little hard (some parts were even clumped together). The coleslaw complimented everything really well. I wanted to try the oxtail stuffed patty but the jerk chicken actually made me feel really full! Id say its worth the money. There is probably only enough seating for 6 people total. Small place, more of a takeout friendly spot. Id love to go again to try the patties

I wonder if they change their recipe from time to time. The first time I had chicken roti and it was great. Went again a few days ago and this time it had carrots in it?? Dont recall this from before. Consistency is key. I hate surprise ingredients when you find a go to dish and then its not the same.

Yes I came to the shop and you refunded my money, but to change your review response as if I m lying when you agreed with my experience based on conversation with staff and your claims of reviewing the camera nonetheless my experience stands.

Came for the oxtail stuffed patty and it did not disappoint. This has now replaced Alwyns the previously go to spot for stuffed patty. Yes they do take a bit of time but the wait is so worth it. Great job guys!!!

The oxtail dish I ordered was of exceptional quality, surpassing any previous oxtail experiences. The serving size was generous and satisfying. The accompanying hot sauce was particularly noteworthy, and the owner kindly provided an additional complimentary serving.

Food here is delicious, especially their stuffed oxtail patty. Lady at the front is very welcoming. I drive an hour every week or so just to eat here.

The food at this restaurant is to die for,its like eating from your mamas kitchen at home,A clean environment,service is always in a friendly atmosphere,I recommend everyone who wants to dine in or out for tastable experience

The oxtail stuffed pattie was really good. I will definitely be back to try more stuff.

Possibly the best jerk pork Ive ever had and its one of my fav dishes so I know the difference, rice is packed with flavor. Huge servings this is the regular and Ill have trouble finishing...i added a festival and that will be nap time $16 total and theres no way Ill finish this... very pleased with this neighborhood gem Ill definitely be back(order your food and do another errand then come back lol, WORTH IT)

SO GOOD, my new fav jamaican spot in North York. The rice and peas with the fried chicken was amazing. Please consider halal options, i have many friends that would love this place.

Ordered a jerk chicken meal, kinda dry to be honest, and the rice and peas tasted watery. It wasnt watery, but I could only describe the taste as watery.

Stopped in on a recommendation. So glad I did. They are so nice, and were welcoming. The Food was outstanding. Stuffed Oxtail patties with coleslaw. They were nice enough to pack it separately so it wouldnt get soggy to have at home. Definitely be back here.

Love the food! No complaints. But the service is slower than molasses. I called an hour ago for something that would take 20 min top. And still had to wait for it for 30 min. Come on do us all a favor and hire more staff please.

the lunch special is not bad for the price, but that chicken curry roti was a mega disappointment, wont be going back. its supposed to be creamy and fresh. it was all stale with some liquid at the bottom of the container. also i asked for 2 forks for 2 people, had to drive back and get another fork and ask for a knife. food takes 30 minutes to come out, wasted my entire lunch break and ate in the car in a hurry like an animal

I have visited this restaurant more than 3 times in 2 months and I am coming back again tomorrow! The service is prompt, the restaurant is clean and now for the best part, the food, if it is your first time I highly recommend the oxtail stuffed patty and the curry goat dinner. Best of both and I myself still remember the first time I tried it and I could not stop eating it, it was so good I even saved some for later. It is so nice to find some tasty Jamaican cuisine, we travel to Jamaica for the food and now I dont need to hop on a plane to enjoy something similar. Keep up the great service and work. God bless.

I came here a few times and they are very unorganized. Very long wait times for small items such as a poutine, I had to wait about 40 mins it when I ve called in advance. The food here is good just the wait time and their processed needs to be worked on. Edited: The owner replied that the orders are fulfilled based off the order it comes in. Unfortunately that was not true as I saw a whole group come in after me and they received their food before me. When I placed the order beforehand the lady told me it would be a 25 minute wait so I came in 30 minutes later and asked for my order which was actually forgotten as I heard the lady quickly turn to the kitchen and ask them to make it.

First time here the food is so good ordered escovitch fish festivals planting taste like the food a yad yummy.

Roti is fantastic, they also carry Michedeans spicy beef patties.. Best pastry ever.. delish!

Came by to try get some takeout at Stacy s. Unfortunately the shop had closed doors and no one answered the phone. There was no indication online that they were closed. Disappointing and wasted a drive. Update: As the business owner had her followers harass me I need to clarify that I did not leave a review simply because you were closed. i left a review to express my disappointment regarding the lack of communication with your customers. If you were closed for whatever reason, it would be greatly appreciated if you could notify your customers anywhere online you were closed for the day, so that no one would waste their time travelling to your store, only to find it closed.

CONSISTENCY. My fave thing about Stacys! Food is always fresh! Always delicious! Food

The stuff oxtail patty is fire. The ground beef and oxtail go well together. The flavor is nice, not spicy, so everyone can enjoy it. Overall, its worth the price

Got the stuffed oxtail beef patty. Tastes great and is good value. Definitely will be back for more.

I really want to like this restaurant, but I will be honest, they have messed up orders from time to time so I can t give them 5 stars. Ordered an oxtail stuffed patty off DoorDash and this is what I got UPDATE: Stacey s kept their word! I was given a stuffed patty on the house. Looks and tastes delicious, thank you!

The oxtail stuffed patties are a must have!

Today, I had the lunch special that was a jerk chicken rice and peas with coleslaw. It was delicious! I recommend calling ahead to order because at lunch time its gets pretty busy. But the food was well worth the wait. A man mentioned he came in today all the way from Oakville just to have the oxtail party and to try their food.

Thank you for bringing good healthy flavored Caribbean food on a stretch of fast food and wraps. Enjoyed the oxtail stuffed patty last week and the jerk chicken meal was excellent this week. Chicken was seasoned and moist n you know thats enjoyable when even the bone has flavor. The rice will have me coming back for sure. Yes u were correct with the black cake tasting good. Told u I wasnt concerned about the taste it was the size of the slice. I will be back.

Honestly growing up in a west Indian household the oxtail was amazing, flavor and texture was perfect. First time coming here and forsure It wont be my last.. The coleslaw in the patty was like icing on top of the cake. I normally dont get the patty with the coco bread but I highly recommend it. I ate it too fast to even care for a picture

Was really excited to try this place after hearing good things from social media, I got little bit disappointed, I ordered jerk chicken poutine and jerk chicken with rice and peas The chicken they used for the poutine taste like they boiled the chicken and shredded and add the jerk sauce flavour ok, jerk chicken dinner taste like rice was ok chicken was little dry overall I can give 3star I m sorry

I got the jerk chicken meal and wow im so impressed with it! The food overall was so flavorful. The chicken was juicy on the inside and a little crispy on the outside. The rice and peas with the gravy went well together. But the thing that caught my attention the most was the coleslaw. Usually Im not a big fan of coleslaw at other stores and try to avoid it, but this time I forgot to tell them to not include the coleslaw, but my mistake was actually a blessing cause it was SO good. It was the right amount of creamy and tasted very good. I will definitely be coming back to try their oxtail stuffed patties (alot of people were getting this when I came inside) and also get some coleslaw on the side

Ive tried the jerk chicken sandwich which was delicious, you can really taste the spices, Ive tried the jerk chicken poutine it was good, but the portion was disappointing. Ive also had the ox tail stuffed sandwich, was really good, if they ask if you want the ox tail sauce ask it for on the side because it got really messy. Also the oxtail is a little pricey but its worth a try definitely. Be ready for long waits fair warning

3.5 stars Ordered the jerk chicken and pork sandwiches. Waited around 15 minutes and the food still came out barely warm. Taste was good so Im willing to give this another try. Food : 3/5

Not going to lie I was really disappointed. 1 I waiting about 25 mins for the stuffed patty. 2 there was more coleslaw then oxtail. 3 half the bread look like it was bitten off. Might be a 1 off but damn Im not happy at all, especially since it was my first time and had high expectations.

Stuffed patty with oxtail was amazing, highly recommended, and jerk chicken was also very tasty , everything was fresh and perfectly seasoned, one of the best jerk spots Ive had !

This place is a gem. Definitely needs more recognition. Hard to find a decent Jerk chicken and oxtail. This place is amazing. THE OXTAIL PATTY IN COCO BREAD SLAPS! Also gotta grab a likkle jerk chicken combo definitely. Juicy, fresh, authentic! Customer service was great, and atmosphere is friendly. Definitely try this place out if you want good food. Vegetarian options: Not too many veggie options Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating Parking: Lots of parking available. Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly Wheelchair accessibility: Very wheelchair accessible

Tried the oxtail stuffed Jamaican patty, loved it and it was filling

Been hearing about this place for the longest time. I live in Mississauga & work Downtown, so I had to somehow make my way down here for lunch Finally did, and it did not disappoint. We were greeted by Stacy & she took care of everything, especially when it got real busy for lunch. Precise with her orders. I got the Jerk Chicken lunch special & the infamous Oxtail Stuffed Patty. Let s start with the lunch special. Perfectly seasoned chicken, flavourful rice & creamy coleslaw. A great deal for lunch !! Now for what we came for. The Oxtail Stuffed Patty. Let me tell you how good this thing is, trust me, it s worth the wait & a staple for this restaurant. A hot, flaky beef patty, with flavourful, tender Oxtail with gravy (it s not real if you don t find a bone or two in there) & coleslaw stuffed inside. Wow. Is all I have to say. Please get it, does not disappoint. One thing though, you have to eat the Stuffed Patty right away as the gravy will make it soggy & you don t want that. However, it s still good even if it is soggy. I ate my lunch special first that s why. Highly recommended place, will definitely be back again, whenever I can. Thanks guys !!

We ordered a few things to try for the first time Chicken soup was ok a bit salty. Jerk chicken poutine was really good definitely recommend. Jerk pork was good also. I wasnt too fond of the Cole slaw or plantain. Cole slaw was more tangy I prefer more sweet. Plantain was dry not sweet. Fried chicken was good. BBQ chicken ok

You will get your moneys worth! Oxtail patty, and Oxtail rice and peas has great portions and great flavors!!!

Did not skimp on the portion of meat. Very tender. Perfect level of sauce.

The best oxtail I ever had, I could eat this everyday. The employees are friendly too. Highly recommended their oxtail patty is good too, my wife s fave. - Chris

Stacy s is a local hidden gem that has been blowing up recently thanks to the foodie community + tiktok. I m really glad they re getting the recognition as they definitely deserve it! I ve been ordering takeout from Stacy s for awhile now but had the chance to go in person and order recently, and one thing i ll say is - having the food fresh is soooo much better than takeout everything here is made fresh to order and the workers are very kind and attentive! My personal favourites from Stacy s are the beef patty sandwiches (stuffed with ox tail or jerk chicken) and the jerk chicken dinner. My friend loves the ox tail here and mentioned that it may be some of the best she s ever had If you re ever in the area, I highly recommend checking them out. Although there is limited seating, they have great food that anyone would enjoy!

I think that everything she makes is fantastic. Highly recommend this place.

Ordered larger jerk chicken and jerk chicken poutine. The jerk chicken brought back memories of how jerk chicken/rice peas/coleslaw supposed to be. Tons of flavor and good portion, again like it supposed to be. Poutine is solid, cheese curds melted under the chicken, good portion for $9.99. Yes the michedean patties is expensive at $2.99 but its a treat. Finished it off with a pineapple bigga (I do miss busta). Dining in is tight with 2 tables, lunch rush is real but food is hot out of the back.

Its fresh, flavourful and comes w good portions.

Small but busy little shop. Ordered here a few times, please note service is SLOW! But food is GOOD! Known for their OXTAIL STUFFED PATTY and it definitely lives up to its name! Note: it s MESSY ! Pattie s on its own are good as well. Everything on their menu goes over pretty well. I keep coming back for it. Definitely recommend, & always returning:)

Went for the first time today and the food is AMAZING! Coming from some one who was raised on Carribean food.The services was so great too, didnt have to wait long and they were very nice.

Delicious

THE FOOD IS SO GOOD OMG. Went in on Friday evening diner time and the place was packed with folks waiting for takeout. You may have to wait a bit for the food but trust me it s worth it. I ate the food so fast i forgot to take pictures We got Jerk chicken and jerk pork meal, and the famous oxtail patty. Total around $47 with tax (oxtail patty is $12) Definitely one of the best Jerk I ve ever had. So flavorful gosh. And the meat is so tender, chicken was falling off the bone. Rice and bean had the perfect texture i wanted, soft but still a bit of chew. Oxtail patty was more expensive for sure, BUT IT WAS HELLA GOOD. Oxtail and gravy melted in your mouth with the flakiness of the patty and softness of the bun on the outside. What a treat. Definitely a gem, wish the team all the best. I will definitely come back. Wished there was better lighting because it looked like they were close from the outside. 2ND VISIT: got curry chicken roti, bbq chicken meal, jerk chicken sandwich. Bbq chicken is fried and covered in sweet and sour sauce, so juicy. Roti has good amount of chicken. Still think they have the best jerk chicken flavor I ve had so far. Love the place. Hope they stay busy

I had the oxtail stuffed patty and the jerk chicken sandwich and they were both amazing! Very reasonably priced too, appreciate that

Staceys stuffed pattie did not disappoint. Generous amount and great flavour. Jerk chicken was also delicious. Definitely coming back for more

So yummy

Great quality food

For now rated 3 stars. Just checking it out and later I will be ordering meals

wow. this is honestly probably the best oxtail i ve ever had, and i ve had a lot of oxtail. i m definitely going to be coming back here very often! coleslaw a bit too sweet for me and i like softer plantains, but the rice and peas and oxtail were just so good that i must give it 5 stars anyway. i called about 15 mins in advance for my order and still had to wait another 15 at the location, but it was worth it!

So I came here the other day to see what the buzz was all about with this place due to the high rating. I arrived during the late evening and this place doesnt stand out as it is not well lit including of the sign itself and looking at it makes you think if they were still open and to my surprise they were. When entering this place it was quite, 2 ppl waiting, it had no vibrant hustle and bustle vibe so really rather blah. My partner had the jerk pork and I had jerk chicken along with plantains. The plantains were edible but felt it lacked flavor as they seem to be deep fried in oil. The jerk chicken was nice and had a nice subtle heat to it and cooked through very nicely to the point where the meat fell off the bone very easily. Now it does come with slaw which Im not a huge fan of and when asked if it can be substituted for something else it was denied but the woman at the counter was polite but didntoffer to substitute the slaw for something else would cost extra which I would have paid for. They do mix the gravy with the rice which gives it more moisture which is fine by me but I would like to have the gravy just poured over on the top. Overall would I go out of my way to come here again? No, and thats due to another Jamaican place close by that offers a better overall quality in my opinion. To the owners if you are reading this you have more potential here just got to do more work and you will do just fine and have more clients coming in.

***SAVE YOUR MONEY *** ordered 1 beef patty that was $3, the lady presumably the owner, charged me 34.49! I didn t keep the receipt went in the next day to explain what happened, and she asked me what time I ordered and ended up telling me she couldn t find the transaction and didn t pay me my money back!! I couldn t stand in line while there is a line up out the door overall horrible experience and customer service. The person behind the cash is clueless and in waaay over her head, been there 2 times prior to this incident and during peak hours expect to wait 45 minutes plus for your order, that is if it s not mixed up as I witnessed several times while waiting for my food how many orders she got wrong and gave people and Uber the wrong order in that same hour one Uber cancelled the transaction and she realized after she gave the food! Seems like they are busy but the person behind the cash has absolutely no clue what she is doing! Thanks for stealing my money and playing dumb for a lousy 30 bucks *** I did not mistakenly give you a 30 dollar tip for a beef patty, because the machines min. Tip is 10 percent which i selected, doesn t allow me to enter it manually! I witnessed a lot of order errors and mistakes while waiting for my food, and if you are admitting I paid it the honorable thing to do was pay it back instead of hassling and stalling me for the day/time of the order while a huge line was forming behind me!

For more than a decade I ve had the same two favorite Jamaican/Caribbean restaurants . Found Stacy s early January this year and haven t been back to my other spots since. Can easily say this my new favorite!! Stacy and her staff are all warm, welcoming, kind people. The food they serve is very very authentic. Love this place!

Stacys provides excellent food at a great price! Staff were incredibly helpful and were able to accept our last minute large order for next day delivery. Looking forward to placing my next order soon!

First time trying this place and it surely did not disappoint! The service was amazing, staff are really welcoming and nice, and the jerk chicken was amazing. Highly recommend!

Had a proper $8.50 jerk chicken lunch special here today! Money well spent, definitely making this one of my weekly visits!

The hype is not real at this place. Came in today with a friend and ordered 2 ox tail stuffed patties and a jerk chick poutine. The woman at the counter said it would be 15 mins for the poutine, no problem. Come to find out that the stuffed patties have now went up in price to $11.99 each which doesnt make it a good deal anymore. Aboue 10 mins later she asked if we wanted the patties first while they finished the poutine, said yes and was handed 2 luke warm patties that I assume were sitting for 10 mins. Bit into it and it had zero flavour. I could have been eating a wet rag and it would have tasted the same. Poutine was next up and we expected it to be great after waiting so long. Got it and we were treated to probably the worst poutine that we have ever had. Soggy half cooked fries, watery gravy, small traces of shredded cheese and some tasteless chicken on top. Basically a big container of mush. With all the exposure that they have got lately, they need to step up their game. I didnt even mention how confused and disorganized they were, yelling orders and a line of people grumbling about how they were waiting so long and people who came in after got their food first. Overall, not worth the money at all for the food being served. Over priced, over hyped. AVOID.... YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

2024 March 3.5 Inside a small plaza with 2 tables for eating in. At time of writing, this is at 4.7 and 367 reviews. Not sure about other food, but based on the fried chicken and beef patty, its ok. Beef patty $3 Flaky and the filling wasnt bad. Though was a little dry. Fried chicken $4.5 Was ok. Meat was a bit dry and just wasnt flavorful inside. Perhaps not marinated enough?

Awesome food awesome service Front counter lady assume is Stacey....what a pleasure you rock!!!! Food

Really, really good jerk chicken. Good prices for great portion sizes. Wheelchair accessibility: No handicap button and no ramp Food : 5/5 |

Stacy was so friendly. Food was great. Kitchen in the back was friendly. definitely would go back. Everyone was happy!

My family enjoyed bit of our jerk chicken lunch specials today. Cant wait to go back for more! Also ordered extra coleslaw cause of was so good. Convenient parking.

They are pretty busy, and the oxtail stuffed patty doesn t meet the hype but it was not bad. Also tried the chicken poutine and jerk chicken, both are forgettable. The oxtail burger at GoodEatsByJulian is much better imo. Also they dont pick up the phone, understandable though because they are really busy, expect to wait.

Mediocre Oxtail. Negative Gravy. Order took 45 mins.

Great Jamaican food. First time trying this restaurant. I got a regular jerk chicken dinner, festivals, jerk chicken sandwich, and patty. The portions are good compared to similar restaurants. The food tastes great. I recommend visiting and supporting this small business. Updated review (March 17, 2024). My first review was a year ago. Since then, I have gone to Stacys whenever Im in the area. My favourite Jamaican restaurant in Scarborough!!! I tried their Stuffed Oxtail Patty. It was soo good. Its worth the hype. Definitely will add it to my regular order, which is their fried chicken, rice and peas, oxtail gravy, and coleslaw! Highly recommend this restaurant. They do get busy, so call ahead and order whenever possible!

Amazing service, the staff is very friendly and the food was amazing definitely recommend this place 10/10

I absolutely loved coming here for their curry chicken roti and rice and peas. Unfortunately, I can t go anymore because they re not halal yet. Once they do, they will open up to a whole new market!

Mainly a take-out joint, they only have a couple of tables available for dine-in. I ordered an oxtail stuffed patty and a jerk chicken meal with a side of plantain. Everything was honestly so so good. Lots of flavour and good portions for the price I feel. ! There will definitely be some kind of a wait since they make their food fresh and they get super busy! I still think about their oxtail!

Went to an event and the jerk was amazing , but the pepper shrimp had no pepper and and the shrimp had long curly whiskers.. it was extremely over cooked and rubbery and the worst thing about it is I found poo in side my shrimp smh never again

Drove 45 minutes, worth it. Jerk Chicken was savory and falls right off the bone. 100% in my opinion best jerk chicken in the GTA.

I tried their lunch special 2 piece Jerk chicken with rice and coleslaw salad! It was AMAZING! Chicken was rich flavoured and salad was good too. Tip: add curry in it it will make your jerk chicken super amazing !

Always great stopping at Stacys Island Flavor for a takeout meal. Food is always fresh and flavorul. Evironment is clean and though at times busy, it is not rowdy. Service is quick and efficient. I must add, I stopped by there today to pick up lunch. While there a lady came back in to tell Stacy how tasty the food that she purchased was. I thought that was awesome. Give credit where its due and build others up... Kid-friendliness: Environment is very accommodating

We tried the ox tail stuffed pattie and it was amazing! Really fills you up for the entire day

Tried the stuffed patties after seeing a bunch of viral videos online. Definitely lives up to the hype!! Oxtail patty was juicy and tender, while the jerk chicken patty was perfectly spiced.

Not just one of the best Caribbean places in the area but one of the best places to eat period. Ive tried a few things on the menu and everythings been excellent. The oxtail stuffed patties are a real standout.

Slow service

Really good Jamaican. I ve gotten the jerk chicken with peas and rice and it was really good, don t have those pictures. But this time we got a jerk chicken sandwich on coco bread, a chicken curry roti, plantains, spicy beef patty, and a dumpling. The prices are really good. They make a lot of stuff to order which is great but depending on what you get and how busy it is, it could take 10-15 minutes to get your order.

The name doesnt lie, a whole lotta island flavor in the foods! After trying out different foods that they sell, I must say that this is one of the BEST Jamaica food spots on my list to go to. The portion, the size, the taste, a 10/10. Food : 5/5

45 minute wait, then when I got the food, it was the wrong order. gave me bone disguised as fried chicken, and the fried chicken felt undercooked while the jerk was cold, I guess from sitting waiting for the fried. the rice was really good, the patty and coco bread was good but all in all, i d suggest elsewhere like Island Spice for the bbq jerk. no cohesiveness with the staff and uber orders are prioritized overall. wouldn t come back for anything particular Wheelchair accessibility: there are stairs to get up from the parking lot

The Oxtail stuffed sandwich is amazing. 10/10!! Must try.
