Ritz Caribbean Foods

Ordered 2 Rotis, both bland and flavourless. The goat roti was mostly chucks on bone. Very disappointed overall. Would not recommend.

The jerk chicken is authentic and delicious, the portions are reasonable given the price. I usually have take-​out for dinner after work and it feel like having a home cooked meal. I tried it for lunch and I struggled to finish it because the portions were too big, I had the jerk chicken lunch special. The reason I deducted a star is because there was a couple of times where the chicken was not as spicy than usual. But overall the quality and taste is really good!

This place makes really good food!
I usually get the BBQ chicken lunch special for $ 5.99. It used to be $ 4.99, but it’s still a good deal for what you get. The container it comes in looks small but they stuff it pretty well and it’s actually a heaping plateful.
Add a large fountain pop for $ 1 (I think this is a summer special) and you have yourself a very satisfying meal.
This is my Friday lunch spot!

The food here is great! The rice and peas are cooked to perfection. Jerk chicken is excellent and so is the oxtail. I work in the area so I am here very often. Great place and they are so friendly. I think it’s the best food in the area!

I love Caribbean food and Ritz is a great lunch time spot to check out.
Pros:
Good and Cheap lunch time specials
Food is very well done
Cons:
Expect a long line up during peak lunch hours
There are times where I just crave a jerk chicken or oxtail stew. So on a day where I was off and had an appointment in the Yonge and Eglinton area, I decided to give this place a whirl. As soon as you walk in, you get a whiff of the smell of jerk, yummy! Then you notice the line up and you realize you will be tempted by this smell for longer than you would like, lol.
I got there at about 12:30, which was a mistake on my part. I had the day off and should of waited till it wasn’t peak lunch hours. The line up was huge, I’d say about 25 people long at least. Luckily, the line moves pretty fast. If you end up eating at Ritz, the line could be a problem as it gets right up to the tables where you eat. You will literally have someone standing right beside you as you eat. For some, that may be a bit unconformable.
Most people at lunch get the awesome Jerk chicken lunch deal for $ 4.99. The chicken is chopped up for you as you order. The «gravy» they put on is bascially the oxtail stew, YUM!!! After finishing my lunch, I ordered some oxtail to take home for dinner. That was splendid as well. I’m always skeptical about chain places but that went out the door after my first bite.
In the end, this is a great lunch time spot. I will definitely come here again if I’m in the area for lunch.

Good lunchtime spot. I am a big fan of the curry chicken and jerk.
The only downside is that the food tends to be really greasy and the rice is dry.
Overall, good tasting food.

I just have to say the Ritz is a good time
Great (healthier) option for takeout in the area
Awesome lunchtime deal ($ 4.99)
Fast and friendly service
My only complaint is that sometimes my half lb chicken order is small, sometimes it’s above and beyond. Kinda depends on who is serving, sadly. Minor, but this girl needs her protein!
I RECOMMEND– the jerk chicken hands down, skin and bones and all
EXTRA TIP– the plantains are not always ripe/​sweet so check before you order. They should be reddish/​black, not golden/​yellow.

Good location and food really tasty. Fresh cooked food. Love the roti, potatoes and plantain my favorites

Excellent food. Its very filling and exceptionally flavourful not to mention nutritious and reasonably priced for what you are getting. Such a change from the usual and typical food places in that area (ie; fast food, etc.)

Ritz is a fast food type of restaurant (and so are every other Caribbean restaurants I know). They have pre-​made selections ready to scoop out into a container at your command. There are spaces for sitting and you can also get take out.
I had Jerk chicken once and also Ackee and Saltfish, both times with rice. I love their seasoning on their jerk chicken. It has a small kick but not overwhelming. You can’t really tell what A&S is just from looking at it but it tastes just fine. It’s my first time trying A&S. It’s good but I find their ox tail and jerk chicken more savory.
My only real complaint is that they shouldn’t chop up the chicken. It’s fine to just serve me the whole piece of quarter chicken. The way they cut it, you might bite into bone shards. Also, I’m used to eating Persian rice or Korean rice. Persian rice is light and fluffy. Korean rice is round and a little sticky. I’m not too fond of the rice at Ritz but it may just be a personal preference. I find it a little dry.
Prices are alright. A large jerk chicken will cost you a little over $ 10. It comes with tons of rice and is about half a chicken. A small jerk chicken is quarter chicken.
I love to explore new cuisines. If you haven’t tried Caribbean, I recommend Ritz as your starting point.

Solid caribbean food and quick! I usually get the BBQ chicken with their amazing bbq sauce and rice, beans and coleslaw.
Subtracted a star since I’m not a fan of digging through bones (They give you whole chicken legs and thighs and just chop them up) but good overall.

I have tried the Ritz Caribbean near Yonge Station so I was glad to see they expanded north into the city. I went with two friends for dinner.
The food was adequate as far as Jamaican chain food can be but the service at the cashier ruined my dinner. I spent nearly 10 minutes with the cashier because I received wrong change. Normally, this would be a story of a dispute anywhere else because the cashier did not give back the proper change but here the cashier genuinely could not do simple addition and subtraction.
I was charged $ 6.10 so I gave her a dime and a 10 dollar note, which simply means I expected to see 4 dollars in change. Instead, I was asked to give another 80 cents! After I corrected her and said that was wrong, she then gave me back 80 cents!
I have no desire to return to act as a maths teacher.

Can never go wrong with Ritz, always amazing Caribbean food and at such an amazing price
