Mr Jerk

Customer Service was superb! Chicken was okay nothing spectacular. For people looking for a bang for their buck this is a place to go. I just wished they had better hot sauce than some bottled hot sauce.

Good jerk chicken at a very reasonable price. This location is near the LCBO at the south east corner of Keele and Lawrence. You can eat in but you can’t sit down. Mostly take out with a good daily lunch special. Friendly staff and fresh food due to it being very popular.

Best jerk pork in the city. The people who work here are so friendly and love to chat. I usually get the small jerk pork dinner with steamed vegetables. The oxtail gravy is great! They’re very generous on their servings. The patties have a fluffier crust but still taste great. Can’t complain about pricing either. For two patties, a small dinner, and dumpling (extra gravy), came to less than $ 15. Can’t beat that deal for that much food. Will continue going back when I’m in the area.

I only get the jerk pork lunch with rice and peas with oxtail gravy and steamed vegetables, the absolute best, patties are amazing always. Very friendly people

I have been to this spot 3 times now with a year. I have to say that today’s experience was not up to their regular standards. We were there around 2:45pm. The place looked clean and the service was okay. My first two times the jerk chicken was spicy and juicy. The beef Pattie was thicker mix inside. The roti was more bone than anything. We are disappointed. Today well my husband said it best, the cook must be on vacation. We might go back in the future but for the time being, we are going to look for a new spot. Hope they come back cause the staff are friendly and efficient.

Was in the neighborhood and feeling hungry so figured I’d see what Unilocal had to offer. Don’t eat much jerk, as although I like spicy food, jerk is often too spicy. Decided to have the jerk pork sandwich and asked if I could get it only mildly spicy. The lady said it’s already made, so I decided to take a chance. Turns out it was the perfect spice for me and extremely tasty. Jerk pork coleslaw and gravy on the ‘s sandwich for $ 5.99. Will definitely come back next time I’m in this area for more tasty food.

I worked nearby this past summer and almost every meal I had during my break was from here. The owner is super nice and likes to chat when it isn’t busy, which is rare — there’s usually a line up in there. The jerk chicken dinner is amazing, but if you’re not too hungry then the jerk chicken sandwich is also amazing! I’ve never had jerk anything before but after trying this place, I’m hooked. The patties and dumplings with gravy — oh man, don’t even get me started on the gravy, it’s great on everything — were my favourites of mine as well.

Most Excellent restaurant. They gave me a student special. $ 5.99 for Jerk Chicken, a large portion of rice and beans, and steamed vegetables which is cabbage and carrots stewed. The jerk chicken was extremely good, but watch out for the bones! It’s my first time trying jamaican food, and this restaurant gave me a great opinion of it. 5 Stars. They don’t take debit and credit cards, only cash, but there is an BMO ATM in the Sobey’s nearby, CIBC across the street, TD branch in the plaza, and a RBC ATM further down Lawrence Street. A Scotiabank is on the opposite side of the street on Keele, I think.

Such a find, as the food is awesome, prepared properly, with TLC, and the service is great. If you want to taste the ultimate in Jerk Pork, you came to the right place.

THE BEST JERK In TORONTO! No, not the owners, but the food. It’s just awesome. I’ve been going there for years but I think it’s time to give some love back to this place that has helped me put on some pounds. Ricky and his family emigrated to Toronto and has made this place into an institution. As Angela H., the previous reviewer put it, «it’s a hole in the wall», but the taste of all the food here is just incredible. The Jerk is as authentic as you can get from Jamaica. We love everything here so I cannot say what is my favourite. They have specials of the day so ask before you order because you can save even more money. We always try to get the soup because it’s SOOO good. The only problem is that they sell out of it so fast, so you should always get it. One large order is enough for two people because they give you so much food.
They renovated recently so the place is a bit larger in the front but the food is still the same as before. I paid $ 10.12 for a large jerk pork with rice/​peas and vegies.
This is only place that I go to for the Jerk meats and if you go there at lunch time, there’s always a huge line up, so try to go there either just before noon or after 2pm.
Their new location is just a few doors down from the new LCBO that they are building on in this plaza.

I’m giving this place 5 stars for the one item I tried.
Jerk Pork Sandwich ($ 4.99).
Awesome. Tender, flavourful jerk seasoning. The Slaw and sauce they put in it just brings it to another level.
I haven’t tried their other dishes but they would use the same pork or chicken in the sandwich as they would for their dishes.
So I can ascertain that the same quality and skill in their cooking would apply to their other dishes.
I highly recommend ordering from them or making the effort to go out of your way to check them out. I know I will.
The place does seem a little sketchy at first based on its location, and inside, like more Carribean take out places are very basic (not updated)
Note, they do not take credit or debit.

Hole in the wall is putting it lightly but don’t be judging! The food is why I go!
The chicken roti is just how I like it, thick, rich, and heavy. The roti shell itself was soft and with just enough chew and thickness to hold all its innards in place. There was an order the owner was doing of 9 jerk chicken dinners so apparently jerk chicken is a hit! Also I tried a side of rice and beans and it was really surprisingly good for something so simple. Pass on the dumplings-​it was like a huge fried tim bit and it wasn’t salty or sweet. Maybe I was supposed to dip it into something?
It’s service with a smile and to top it off the owner is über nice. For the busy lunch hour, I suggest maybe call ahead and place your order for pick up otherwise you could be waiting in line for awhile.
