Gerry’s Fast Food

I’ve never written a review about anything before, but this place. Man. Words can hardly describe. I used to work in the area and I would go there for lunch almost everyday (friday being my favourite because they did steamed veggies). You see, I am a sucker for Oxtail and this place has the absolute best I have ever had in my life. I’ve been searching all over in the area I live for something to compare and nothing even comes close. Just thinking about it makes me want to move closer to Gerry’s so I can get fat off that Oxtail. Not only is the Oxtail from another world, the service is amazing and the staff is extremely friendly. I live on the complete opposite side of the city but I will start TTC’ing an hour there and an hour back every friday just to indulge. If you are thinking about visiting this fine establishment, think no longer.
PS, grab me an order of oxtail please.

Zang! That’s a great patty. Too bad they only come in mild and not spicy

If it’s Friday or Saturday, do yourself a favour and order the ackee and saltfish. It’s the best. Home style island food with friendly service.
Another reviewer complained about being asked to step away from the door… it’s only because the doorbell is on a sensor and will keep ringing until you step completely inside.

Tried the curry goat and oxtail with rice and peas. Not too bad and I like how the sauce was not overly salty. Portions are also large so you get a filling meal. I still prefer the oxtail at Randy’s or P Jays which I think are run by the some owners.

Great Jamaican. Awesome service. Been going there 18 years now!

I was offended when I was asked to «move away from the door» upon my first entry into this hole. (BTW, it’s an outward swinging door and in no way was I impeding other patrons’ entry). I ordered a beef roti and a beef patty.
As I munched on my bitter beef patty which had an «off» flavour, the cook came out and told me they had no beef. So I switched to chicken.
Almost 20 minutes later, my teeny package of roti arrived, wrapped in household wax paper and aluminum foil which made it particularly hard to open. I got to the nearby park to eat it and found that it had no cutlery (which I usually get with to-​go roti). But in this case, it wasn’t required because it had about as much filling as a beef patty, next-​to-​none. And most of that filling was bone. And the flavour was bland and under-​salted. The roti shell was dry and chalky.
I won’t think twice about never returning.

I haven’t been to Gerry’s for a few years now but it still remains my fav. place for roti in T.O. I always recommend it because of their most tasty goat as well as chicken roti.
Nice fresh dough as well for the wraps.
Good times.
Gotta make a trip there over the holidays.
